- the routing rules 22, 22a, and 22b may be transmitted by being included in a BU message, or a dedicated message may be used. Further, it may be notified by being included in a message transmitted in the Attach Procedure when connecting to the Non3GPP network 14. In that case, it is desirable to be notified in PCO (ProtocolProConfiguration Option).
- FIG. 9 shows a block diagram of the P-GW 13.
- the P-GW 13 includes an interface 201, a location information registration processing unit 202, a packet transfer processing unit 203, a UE information management unit (BC) 204, a routing rule holding unit 205, and a routing rule registration processing unit 206. Is done.
- the location information registration processing unit 202 processes the BU message received from the UE 10, acquires the HoA and CoA of the UE 10 included in the BU message, and instructs the UE information management unit 204 to store it as BC.

- BC12 in which CoA, BID2, and flow ID2 are bound to the HNP address is registered. For example, when the flow indicated by the flow ID 1 registered for the HoA reaches the HNP address, the routing rule of the flow ID 1 is not applied to this flow, so if the forwarding destination specified as default is BID 2 If there is, it is forwarded to CoA. That is, when the flow indicated by the flow ID 1 reaches the HoA, as shown in FIG.
- the routing rule of the flow ID 1 is applied, so that the flow is transferred to the HoA that is the transfer destination address corresponding to the BID 1.
- the HNP address is used, and at the same time, the transfer destination of the flow addressed to the HNP address can be designated as CoA instead of HoA.
- the routing rule 1 indicating that the flow 1 of packets addressed to HoA is transferred to the WLAN interface IF2 to the P-GW 13 and the flow 2 of packets addressed to HoA are also transferred to the WLAN interface IF2. It is assumed that the routing rule 2 shown is registered, inapplicable is set for the routing rule indicated by the flow ID1, and applicable is set for the routing rule indicated by the flow ID2. In this case, when the flow indicated by the flow ID 1 registered for the HoA reaches the HNP address, the routing rule of the flow ID 1 is not applied to this flow. Is transferred to HoA.
- both routing rules of flow ID1 and flow ID2 are applied, so both are CoA that is a transfer destination address corresponding to BID2.
- both flow indicated by the flow ID1 is forwarded to the HoA and the flow indicated by the flow ID2 is Transferred to CoA.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 refers to the routing rule holding unit 205 when proxy receiving a packet addressed to the HoA of the UE 10, and searches whether the routing filters 24, 24a, and 24b corresponding to the received packet exist. . If there is a matching routing filter 24, 24a, 24b, the BID corresponding to the routing filter 24, 24a, 24b is acquired. Then, the UE information management unit 204 is inquired about the transfer destination address of the BC corresponding to the acquired BID. When the transfer destination address acquired from the UE information management unit 204 is CoA, a header having the CoA as a destination address is added (encapsulated) to the packet and transferred.
- the packet is transferred as it is without being encapsulated.
- the transfer process here is a transfer process performed by mobile IP, and actually, a transfer process by PMIP is also performed.
- the UE information management unit 204 is inquired about the default transfer destination address of the BC, and is transferred to the acquired address. Further, the packet transfer processing unit 203 performs transfer processing of the packet addressed to the CN 17 received from the UE 10. Check the source address of the packet received from the UE 10 (or the internal packet after decapsulation if it is encapsulated), and check whether it is HoA or the HNP address registered in the UE information management unit 204 To do.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 refers to the routing rule holding unit 205, and applicability information is applied.
- the flow IDs 23 of the routing rules 22, 22 a, and 22 b set as possible are acquired.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 instructs the UE information management unit 204 to generate a BC including the HNP address in order to indicate that the HNP address is an address for which routing is permitted.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 instructs the HoA to hold the transfer destination address information already registered in the BC11 and BC12 of the HNP address.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 further selects only the flow IDs 23 of the routing rules 22, 22 a, and 22 b that can be applied to the previously acquired HNP address from the flow IDs registered in the BC1 ′ and BC2 ′ of the HoA. Instruct to apply to BC11 and BC12.
- the HNP address is registered in the UE information management unit 204, the internal packet is transferred to the CN 17.
- the information generated for the HNP address does not necessarily need to be an individual BC related to the HNP address, and may be information indicating an equivalent meaning.
- an HNP address may be included in the HoA BC as an address that permits routing. Further, it may be held in a list indicating addresses for which routing is permitted.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 checks the filtering rule registered for the HoA, and only the routing rule for which the applicability information is designated as applicable is HNP. Consider this when forwarding packets addressed to an address.
- the lifetime is set by the P-GW 13 for the HNP address.
- BC11 and BC12 of the HNP address are deleted, and are treated as HNP addresses that cannot be transferred thereafter.
- the HNP address is already registered in the UE information management unit 204 when a packet using the HNP address is received from the UE 10 or the CN 17, the lifetimes of the BC 11 and BC 12 are updated.
- the packet transfer processing unit 203 checks the destination address of the received packet addressed to the UE 10, and if the address is not HoA, refers to the UE information management unit 204 to determine whether or not the HNP address is permitted for routing. To check. When the address is an HNP address for which transfer is permitted, the same processing as that for the packet addressed to the HoA described above is performed.
- the routing rule applied when transferring the packet addressed to the HNP address is the routing rule applied to the BC of the HNP address generated when receiving the packet addressed to the CN 17 having the HNP address as the source address from the UE 10 described above. is there. On the other hand, if the HNP address is not permitted, the packet is discarded without being transferred.
- the P-GW 13 is registered from the CN immediately after receiving the packet using the HNP address from the UE.
- the transfer of the packet addressed to the current HNP address is started. Thereby, the transfer of the packet addressed to the HNP address not used by the UE 10 can be prevented.
- the UE information management unit 204 has a function as a mobile IP BC, and holds the HoA and CoA information of the UE 10 passed from the location information registration processing unit 202. Further, when the HNP address and applicable flow ID are notified from the packet transfer processing unit 203, a BC including the HNP address and transfer destination address information registered in the HoA BC1 'and BC2' is generated. Further, among the flow IDs registered in the BC1 ′ and BC2 ′ of the HoA in the BC, the flow IDs 23 of the routing rules 22, 22 a, and 22 b that can be applied to the HNP address passed from the packet transfer processing unit 203. Are set in the HNP addresses BC11 and BC12.
- the flow ID notified as the flow ID applicable to the HNP address is a flow ID that is not registered in the HoA BC1 'or BC2', it may be set in the BC11 or BC12 of the HNP address. This makes it possible to register the routing rules 22, 22a and 22b for the HNP address regardless of whether or not to register for HoA.
- the routing rule registration processing unit 206 processes the routing rule registration messages 21, 21a, and 21b received from the UE 10, acquires the routing rules 22, 22a, and 22b included in the messages 21, 21a, and 21b.
- the holding unit 205 is instructed to hold.
- the routing rule holding unit 205 holds the routing rules 22, 22 a, and 22 b passed from the routing rule registration processing unit 206.
- FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the downlink processing of the packet transfer processing unit 23 of the P-GW 13.
- step S12 when a packet addressed to the UE 10 is received (step S11), it is checked whether or not the destination address of the packet is HoA (step S12). If the destination address is HoA (YES in step S12), it is encapsulated and transferred according to the routing rule of that flow (step S14). If the destination address is not HoA (NO in step S12), it is checked whether the destination address of the packet is a registered HNP address (step S13). If it is a registered HNP address (YES in step S13), it is encapsulated and transferred according to the routing rule of the flow (step S14). On the other hand, if it is not a registered HNP address (NO in step S13), The packet is discarded (step S15).
- FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the uplink processing of the packet transfer processing unit 203.
- a packet is received from the UE 10 (step S21)
- it is checked whether or not the source address of the packet is HoA (step S22). If the source address is HoA (YES in step 22), the packet is transferred to CN 17 (step S28). If the source address is not HoA (NO in step S22), it is checked whether or not the source address of the packet is a registered HNP address (step S23). If it is a registered HNP address (YES in step S23), the packet is transferred to CN 17 (step S28).
- step S24 If the source address is not a registered HNP address (NO in step S23), it is checked whether the source address is an unregistered HNP address (step S24). If it is not an unregistered HNP address (NO in step S24), the packet is discarded (step S25). Here, the case where it is not an unregistered HNP address is a case where the transmission source address is not an address generated from the HNP. On the other hand, if the source address is an unregistered HNP address (YES in step S24), an applicable routing rule is acquired (step S26), and then BC11 and BC12 of the HNP address are generated and acquired. The applied routing rule is applied (step S27), and then the packet is transferred to the CN 17 (step S28).
- the UE 10 since the packet transfer to the UE 10 by the P-GW 13 is permitted only for the HNP address used by the UE 10 itself, the UE 10 does not use it. Transfer of packets addressed to the HNP address can be prevented, and an increase in address management load on the UE 10 can be prevented. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent transfer of a packet that is destined for the HNP address that the UE 10 does not intend. In addition, it is possible to prevent an invalid routing rule from being set for the HNP address, and it is not necessary for the UE 10 to transmit a routing rule registration message for setting a routing rule related to the HNP address. And message transmission / reception processing of the P-GW 13 can be reduced.
- a TFT refers to a packet (downlink) addressed to UE 10 when there are a plurality of EPS bearers (Evolved Packet System bearers) between UE 10 and P-GW 13 accessing 3GPP network 11 or between UE 10 and S-GW 12.
- packet is information used to determine which EPS bearer is to be mapped (Bearer Binding) (bearer binding).
- GTP GPRS tunneling protocol
- the P-GW 13 performs bearer binding.
- the S-GW 12 performs bearer binding. Do.
- the TFT includes a packet filter (also called a routing rule or a filtering rule), and each TFT is associated with any EPS bearer. Similar to the first embodiment, when the UE 10 starts to use a new HNP address, applicability information indicating whether to apply the already defined TFT to the HNP address is set in the TFT. Applicability information is set by PCRF (Policy (Control and Charging Rules Function) or UE10. After the UE 10 starts using the HNP address and the HNP address is registered in the UE information management unit 204 as a transferable address, when a packet addressed to the HNP address is received from the CN 17, the TFT to which the applicable information is added is displayed. Using this, bearer binding is performed. If there is no applicable TFT, it is transferred using a default bearer or a bearer to which no TFT is associated.
- PCRF Policy (Control and Charging Rules Function)
- a flag in a message for registering a TFT in the P-GW 13 or the S-GW 12 can be used as in the first embodiment. For example, when the flag is set, it indicates that the TFT can be applied to the HNP address. When the flag is not set, the TFT is not applicable to the HNP address. . Further, as another method for indicating applicability information, it can be applied to an HNP address depending on whether or not HoA is included as a destination address (destination address of a packet received from CN) in the routing filters 24, 24a, and 24b. Whether or not the routing rule is 22, 22 a, or 22 b may be indicated. As applicable information, the same method as that described in the first embodiment can be used. A packet addressed to an HNP address that is not registered as a transferable address can be discarded without being transferred.
- the second embodiment of the present invention it is possible to prevent an invalid EPS bearer from being selected by using an invalid TFT for the HNP address, and to prevent the UE 10 or the network side PCTF from being selected. Since it is not necessary to transmit a message for setting a TFT for an HNP address, the traffic amount and message transmission / reception processing of the UE 10, PCTF, P-GW 13, and S-GW 12 can be reduced.
- the UE 10 is a macro base station (evolved Node B (eNB), Node B, macro cell) or a femto base station (home evolved Node B (Home eNB, hereinafter referred to as HeNB)), home Node B ( Home NB), a home base station, a small base station, a proxy base station, and a CSG (Closed Subscriber Group) cell)), connected to a 3GPP core network (home network) via a macro base station or HeNB,
- a path connected to an external network such as the Internet
- a path directly connected to an external network such as the Internet
- HeNB the case of HeNB is described below, the same applies to the case where a path directly connected to an external network via a macro base station is configured.
- HeNB is a small home base station that provides a smaller radio coverage area than a macro base station.
- the UE connected to the HeNB not only accesses the 3GPP core network via the HeNB (hereinafter referred to as the 3G path), but also accesses the local network under the HeNB (LIPA: Local IP Access) and the 3GPP core network.
- Direct Internet access SIPTO: Selected IP Traffic Offload, hereinafter referred to as direct path
- the UE connected to the macro base station normally uses a 3G path when accessing the Internet, but if the UE is connected to the HeNB, a direct path that does not pass through the 3GPP core network is selected.
- the flow transmitted from the UE can be directly transferred to the Internet via the HeNB.
- An advantage of using the direct path is that the load on the 3GPP core network can be suppressed. Further, when the UE communicates with a node on the Internet, it is not necessary to go through the 3GPP core network, so that the load on the 3GPP core network is suppressed and communication is possible with the shortest path.
- FIG. 15 shows that the UE 10 having one 3GPP interface IF is connected to the HeNB 70 that is the home base station of the UE 10 and selectively passes through the 3G via path P31 or the direct path P32 from the HeNB 70, for example, with the CN 17 on the Internet 18 It is a network block diagram in the case of communicating.
- the UE 10 communicates with a node in the external network via the 3G path using the address generated from the assigned prefix.
- the UE 10 acquires two addresses, the address A for the 3G via path P31 and the address B for the direct path P32.
- the prefix for generating address A and the prefix for generating address B are different prefixes, but if address conversion by HeNB 70 is possible, different addresses A and B are generated from a common prefix. May be. Further, when address conversion by the HeNB 70 is possible, the address A for the 3G via path P31 and the address B for the direct path P32 may be the same. Hereinafter, a case where different addresses A and B are used will be described.
- the UE 10 selects an address (address A or address B) to be set as a transmission source address of a transmission packet according to a path to be used (3G via path P31 or direct path P32).
- an address (address A or address B) to be set as a transmission source address of a transmission packet according to a path to be used (3G via path P31 or direct path P32).
- the HeNB 70 transfers only the packet in which the addresses A and B corresponding to the transfer destination paths P31 and P32 are set as the transmission source address. Therefore, in order to prevent the transmission packet from being discarded by the HeNB 70, the address A that is a valid address in the 3G via path P31 is selected when the 3G via path P31 is used, and the direct path P32 is used directly.
- An address B that is a valid address in the path P32 is selected.
- the routing rule includes flow identification information (routing filter) and transfer destination information (routing address).
- the flow identification information includes the media type (Audio, Video, etc.).
- 5-Tuple source / destination IP Address, source / destination Port Number, Protocol number
- the forwarding destination information is the forwarding destination path of the flow corresponding to the flow identification information This is information indicating P31 and P32.
- the transfer destination information for example, in the case of the network configuration of FIG. 15, as information indicating the paths P31 and P32, access technology types such as “3GPP” and “WLAN”, and transfers such as “address A” and “address B”, respectively. An address corresponding to the destination path can be designated.
- the UE 10 compares the flow identification information in the routing rule with the packet to be transmitted, and checks whether there is a matching routing rule. If there is a matching routing rule, the packet is transmitted to the transfer destination path P31 or P32 described in the rule according to the rule.
- the routing rule may be generated based on a policy acquired from an information server (ANDSF server, PCRF, policy server) in the 3GPP operator network, or based on a policy (preference) pre-registered in the UE 10. May be generated. Even when the routing rule is generated based on the policy pre-registered in the UE 10, the rule may be generated in consideration of the policy acquired from the information server.
- the same routing rule that the UE 10 uses to select the transfer destination is also registered in the HeNB 70.
- the UE 10 may notify the HeNB 70 directly, or an information server or an entity in the core network (PGW, GGSN, SGSN, SGW, etc.) may notify.
- the HeNB 70 uses the registered routing rule to check whether or not the packet transmitted by the UE 10 is about to be transmitted to the correct transfer destination paths P31 and P32 described in the rule. That is, when receiving a packet transmitted from the UE 10, the HeNB 70 checks whether the valid addresses A and B in the transfer destination paths P31 and P32 are packets set in the transmission source address, and then the flow identification information. Only packets that match the flow specified in are transferred.
- the HeNB 70 cannot find the rule and follows the registered rule 1. Therefore, the packet of the flow A is discarded by the HeNB 70 without being directly transferred to the path P32. That is, if the flow type is Web data, but the source address is address A ( ⁇ B), the flow matches the flow identification information of rule 1, but the address A does not correspond to the transfer destination path P32. Is set as the transmission source address, it is discarded by the HeNB 70. However, this is not the case when there is a default rule with the content “For a flow with address A as the transmission source, transfer to the 3G path P31”.
- this rule 1 since the packet of the flow A transmitted from the UE 10 is directly transferred to the path P32, it is necessary to set a valid address B in the direct path P32 as the source address of the packet. If the HeNB 70 detects that the source address of the packet of the flow A transmitted from the UE 10 is the address A, the HeNB 70 does not transfer the packet to the 3G path P31. For this reason, since the packet of the flow A transmitted from the address A is discarded by the HeNB 70, a packet loss occurs. Furthermore, when this rule 1 is followed, since all packets of the flow A must be directly transferred using the path P32, the UE 10 cannot transfer the flow A through the 3G-routed path P31.
- a packet of flow A is desired to be transmitted through the 3G-routed path P31, or A method for making it possible to use the 3G via path P31 when the transmission is permitted.
- information (rule non-application information) indicating that the rule is not applied to addresses newly acquired by the UE 10 after the rule registration. specify.
- the rule non-application information is specified, the rule is applied only to the address held by the UE 10 at the time of rule registration, and the rule is applied to the address not held by the UE 10 at the time of rule registration. Not. That is, it is possible to register a new rule for enabling transfer of the packet of the flow A transmitted using the newly acquired address after registering the rule.
- the UE 10 does not hold the rule at the time of the rule registration in addition to the address held by the UE 10 at the time of the rule registration.
- the rule is also applied to an address (that is, an address newly acquired after registering the rule). That is, when the rule non-application information is not specified, the rule is applied to all addresses including the address newly acquired by the UE 10. In this case, it is not possible to register a new rule for transferring the flow A transmitted from a newly acquired address after registering the rule.
- the HeNB 70 holds information related to the address held by the UE 10 when the rule 1 is acquired in association with the rule 1.
- rule application information indicating that the rule is applied only to an address held by the UE 10 at the time of registration of the rule. May be used.
- a policy a preset policy or a policy acquired from an information server
- the HeNB 70 that has received the registration of the rule 1 recognizes that the flow A is a flow that can be directly transferred to the path P32.
- the UE 10 newly establishes a 3G-routed path P31 and acquires a valid address C on the 3G-routed path P31.
- rule 1 is applied only to the packet related to address B, and is not applied to the packet of flow A transmitted from address C.
- the UE 10 has established both the 3G-routed path P31 and the direct path P32, and the address A is a valid address in the 3G-routed path P31, and the address B is a valid address in the direct path P32.
- a case (case 2) in which rule 1 is registered in HeNB 70 after acquisition will be described. Also in this case 2, when registering rule 1 in the HeNB 70, the UE 10 adds rule non-applicability information to the rule 1 when there is a possibility of transmitting the flow A via the 3G-routed path P31. On the other hand, when the flow A is transferred only via the direct path P32, the rule 1 is registered without specifying the rule non-application information.
- the UE 10 refers to a policy (a preset policy or a policy acquired from an information server) when generating a routing rule, and whether to specify rule non-applicable information for the rule to be registered Is included in the policy, it is determined whether or not the rule non-application information is designated according to the designation.
- a policy a preset policy or a policy acquired from an information server
- rule non-applicable information When rule non-applicable information is specified in rule 1, HeNB 70 applies rule 1 only to address A and address B held by UE 10 at the time of registration of rule 1. That is, when the transmission source address of the packet related to the flow A is the address B, it is determined that the transfer is possible, and when it is the address A, it is determined that the transfer is impossible. In this case, the HeNB 70 directly transfers the flow A transmitted from the address B to the path P32, but does not transfer the flow A transmitted from the address A. Also, since rule non-applicable information is specified in rule 1, for flow A transmitted from a valid address (address C) on 3G-routed path P31 newly acquired after registration of rule 1 by UE 10 Rule 1 does not apply. Therefore, the UE 10 can transfer the flow A transmitted from the address C to the 3G-routed path P31 by registering the rule 1-1 in the HeNB 70 as a new rule regarding the flow A.
- the HeNB 70 applies the rule 1 to all addresses used by the UE 10.
- the rule 1 is applied not only to the address A and the address B but also to the address C, and the flow A transmitted from the address C that is not a valid address in the direct path P32 that is the transfer destination of the rule 1 Is not transferred. Therefore, in order to transfer the flow A when the rule 1 is registered without specifying the rule non-application information, it is necessary to use the address B. Note that when the rule non-applicable information is not specified in the rule 1, the UE 10 cannot register the rule 1-1 in the HeNB 70.
- the UE 10 refers to a policy (a preset policy or a policy acquired from an information server) when generating a routing rule, and whether to specify rule non-applicable information for the rule to be registered Is included in the policy, it is determined whether or not the rule non-application information is designated according to the designation.
- the HeNB 70 that has received the registration of the rule 3 recognizes based on the rule 3 that the flow B is a flow that can be transferred to the 3G-routed path P31, that is, a flow that does not discard the packet.
- the UE 10 newly acquires an address C as a valid address on the 3G via path P31.
- the rule 3 When the rule 3 is registered by the UE 10 and the rule non-application information is specified and the rule 3 is registered, the rule 3 is applied only to the packet related to the address A, and the flow B transmitted from the address C It does not apply to other packets. For this reason, the packet of the flow B transmitted from the address C is received by the HeNB 70, and since it is confirmed that the transmission source address is not the address A to which the rule 3 is applied, the packet is not transferred to the 3G path P31. Accordingly, it is necessary to use the address A in order to transfer the flow B to the 3G-routed path P31 when the rule non-application information is specified and the rule 3 is registered.
- the rule 3 when the rule 3 is registered without specifying the rule non-application information, the rule 3 is applied not only to the packet related to the address A but also to the packet of the flow B transmitted from the address C. Therefore, even the packet of the flow B transmitted from the address C whose source address is not the address A can be transferred to the 3G path P31.
- the case where the 3G-routed path P31 is used is described. However, the case where the path P32 is directly used may be used.
- the transfer destination path of “a flow whose Type is Flow B and whose source address is Address C” is a new rule related to Flow B.
- the UE 10 can transfer the packet of the flow B transmitted using the address C to the path P31 via the 3G by registering the rule 3-1 in the HeNB 70.
- Whether or not it is possible to register a rule for transferring the packet of the flow B transmitted using the address C, such as the rule 3-1, to the 3G-routed path P31 is determined by the policy acquired by the UE 10. May be performed according to
- the configuration of UE 10 of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 16 includes one interface IF corresponding to 3GPP, a packet transfer unit 111, an upper layer 112, a policy information holding unit 113, a routing rule generation unit 114, a routing rule holding unit 115, and path management. Part 116.
- the policy information holding unit 113 acquires policy information that is referred to when generating a routing rule from a policy server (not shown). For example, a basic policy that directly specifies the path P32 as the transfer destination path of the flow A is acquired.
- the routing rule generation unit 114 generates and registers a routing rule based on the acquired policy information, the policy held by the UE 10 itself, and the actual communication state. Further, when registering a rule based on the basic policy, it is determined whether or not rule non-application information is designated for the rule.
- FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing processing performed by each component of the UE 10 in the case 1 and the case 2 described above.
- the routing rule generation unit 114 determines that the flow A is a flow that can be communicated using the 3G-routed path P31, or communicates using the 3G-routed path P31. If it is determined that there is a possibility (YES in step S32), rule 1 non-application information (rule applied only to the address at the time of registration) is specified in rule 1 and registered in UE 10 and HeNB 70 (Step S33). On the other hand, in the case of NO in step S32, the rule non-application information is not specified in rule 1 (rule applied to all the addresses of UE 10), and is registered in UE 10 itself and HeNB 70 (step S36).
- the UE 10 specifies rule non-application information as a rule to be registered (step S33).
- step S34 the path management unit 116 establishes a new PDN connection and acquires the address C (step S34).
- the packet of the flow A is transmitted using the address C by registering the rule 1-1 with the HeNB 70 (Step S35).
- rule 1 is applied only to address B after step S36, when UE 10 transmits flow A while registering rule 1, it is necessary to use address B (step S36). S37).
- rule 1 When rule non-applicable information is specified in rule 1 and UE 10 establishes a new PDN connection and is assigned address C, rule 1 is not applied to address C as described above.
- the packet of the flow A in which the address C is set as the transmission source address can be transmitted to the path P31 via 3G.
- the establishment of a new PDN connection for transferring the flow A to the 3G via path P31 may be performed when it becomes necessary to transfer the flow A to the 3G via path P31. That is, if it is not necessary to transfer the flow A from the address C, step S34 and subsequent steps may be omitted.
- FIG. 18 shows a configuration of a packet 20c of the routing rule registration message 21c that the UE 10 transmits to register the rule 1 with the HeNB 70.
- the message 21c has a rule 22c, and the rule 22c has flow type information 26, transfer destination information 27, and rule non-application information 28.
- the rule non-application information 28 may be realized as a flag in an option including a rule, or a new option may be used. When a flag is used, if the flag is set (not set), it indicates that rule non-applicable information is specified. If it is not set (set), rule non-applicable information is specified. Indicates not.
- a BU message including an FID (Filter Identification) option can be used instead of the packet 20c.
- FIG. 19 shows a routing rule registered in the HeNB 70 when the rule non-application information 28 is designated for the rule 22c as an example.
- FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing processing when the UE 10 registers the rule 3 in the case 3 described above.
- the UE 10 When the UE 10 generates the rule 3 in step S101 and restricts the address used when transmitting the flow B to the 3G-routed path P31 to the address A (YES in step S102), the UE 10
- the application information (rule applied only to the address held at the time of registration) is specified and registered in the UE 10 itself and the HeNB 70 (step S103).
- NO in step S102 the rule non-applicable information is not specified in rule 3 and is registered in the UE 10 itself and the HeNB 70 (step S105).
- rule 3 is applied only to address A after step S103, when UE 10 transmits flow B, it is necessary to use address A (step S104).
- step S105 the UE 10 establishes a new PDN connection through the 3G-routed path P31 and acquires the address C (step S106). After acquiring the address C, when it is necessary to transmit the flow B through the 3G path P31, either the address A or the address C is used (step S107).
- rule 3 When rule non-applicable information is specified in rule 3, rule 3 is applied only to address A as described above. Therefore, HeNB 70 applies only the packet of flow B in which address A is set as the source address to 3G. It is possible to transmit to the via path P31. When other rules including the default rule are not registered, all packets to which rule 3 is not applied are discarded by the HeNB 70. On the other hand, when rule non-applicable information is not specified in rule 3, rule 3 is applied to all addresses, so the address used for transmission of flow B is not limited. That is, not only address A but also address C can be used for transmission of flow B. The establishment of a new PDN connection for transferring the flow B to the 3G via path P31 may be performed when it becomes necessary to transfer the flow B from the address C to the 3G via path P31.
- FIG. 21 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the HeNB 70.
- the HeNB 70 includes a 3GPP-compatible interface 71, a packet transfer processing unit 72, a routing rule holding unit 73, and a routing rule processing unit 74.
- the routing rule processing unit 74 processes the routing rule registration message 21c received from the UE 10, and holds the routing rule 22c included in the message 21c in the routing rule holding unit 73 together with the specified rule non-application information 28.
- the packet transfer processing unit 72 determines whether to transfer the packet transmitted from the UE 10.
- FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a process performed by the packet transfer processing unit 72 when the rule 1 in which the rule non-application information is specified is held.
- a packet matching the type of flow described in rule 1 is received from the UE 10 (step S41)
- whether the packet is transmitted from an address C different from the addresses A and B to which the rule 1 is applied Is checked (step S42). If the packet is transmitted from the address C to which the rule 1 is not applied (NO in step S42), it is confirmed whether there is a rule (rule 1-1) relating to the address C (step S43). If there is a rule regarding the address C (YES in step S43), the packet is transferred to the 3G-routed path P31 or the direct path P32 according to the rule (step S44).
- step S47 if there is no rule regarding address C (NO in step S43), the packet is discarded (step S47). Further, when the received packet is a packet transmitted from the addresses A and B to which the rule 1 is applied (YES in step S42), when the transmission source address is the address B (YES in step S45), The packet is directly transferred to the path P32 according to the rule 1 (step S46). On the other hand, if the source address is not address B, that is, address A (NO in step 45), the packet is discarded (step S47).
- the operator determines whether a new PDN connection is established and whether the address C can be acquired.
- the operator can permit the use of the 3G-routed path P31 as the transfer destination path of the flow A when receiving a request for establishing a new PDN connection from the UE 10, the operator assigns the address C together with the establishment of the new PDN connection. .
- the UE 10 may declare that the PDN connection is used for the transfer of the flow A.
- the UE 10 sets the address C as the transmission source address of the packet and transmits the packet when the packet of the flow A is transferred to the 3G path P31.
- FIG. 22 shows a configuration of the packet 20d when the UE 10 transmits the routing rule registration message 21d to the HeNB 70.
- the message 21d has a routing rule 22d1, and in the routing rule 22d1, flow identification information (routing filter) 26d and transfer destination information (routing address) 27d are described as the rule 22d2.
- the contents to be confirmed by the HeNB 70 regarding the packet transmitted from the UE 10 are the addresses A and B corresponding to the transfer destination paths P31 and P32 in which the transmission source address of the packet is specified in the routing rule. Whether or not.
- the source address (downlink packet) is usually included in the flow identification information 27d. In this case, it is not necessary to specify the destination address.
- the routing rule indicates that rule non-application information is set, and if not described, it can be configured by a routing filter 26d indicating that rule non-application information is not set.
- a flow ID corresponding to both the case where rule non-application information is specified and the case where the rule non-application information is not specified is defined, and one of them is included in the routing rule registration message 21d May be.
- the address to which the routing rule registered in the HeNB 70 is applied can be limited to the address held at the time of registration, and after the registration, on the 3G via path P31 Since the rule relating to the new address acquired in step S3 can be separately registered, the UE 10 can immediately transfer the packet of the flow A to be transferred to the path 3G via the 3G using the path 3G via the 3G.
- Each functional block used in the description of the above embodiment is typically realized as an LSI that is an integrated circuit. These may be individually made into one chip, or may be made into one chip so as to include a part or all of them.

- the method of circuit integration is not limited to LSI's, and implementation using dedicated circuitry or general purpose processors is also possible.
- An FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array
- a reconfigurable processor that can reconfigure the connection and setting of circuit cells inside the LSI may be used.
- integrated circuit technology comes out to replace LSI's as a result of the advancement of semiconductor technology or a derivative other technology, it is naturally also possible to carry out function block integration using this technology. For example, biotechnology can be applied.
- the routing rule that specifies the packet addressed to the second address and the transfer destination interface of the flow can be registered in the home agent, and can be used for 3GPP or the like. Further, according to the present invention, a routing device that receives a packet transmitted by a mobile node or a packet addressed to a mobile node is selected as a first path side or a second path side according to a routing rule in which a flow transfer destination is specified. Therefore, it is possible to set an application condition of a routing rule in the case of a forward transfer, and it can be used for 3GPP or the like.
- the home base station that has received the packet transmitted by the mobile node selectively transfers the packet to the first path side or the second path side according to the routing rule in which the transfer destination of the flow is specified. It is possible to set the application conditions of the routing rules of 3GPP and the like.

<第1の実施の形態>
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態におけるネットワーク構成図を示す。モバイルノードであるUE10は、3GPPインタフェース(セルラーインタフェース)IF1と、Non3GPPインタフェースとしてWLANインタフェースIF2を備えている。なお、Non3GPPインタフェースは、WiMAX(登録商標)インタフェースや、HRPD(High Rate Packet Data)インタフェースなどでもよい。3GPPインタフェースIF1は、UE10にとってHPLMN(HomePublic Land Mobile Network)である3GPPネットワーク11(ホームネットワーク)に接続し、UE10の代理ノードであるS-GW12を介して、UE10のホームエージェントであるP-GW13との間でPMIPコネクションを確立し、このコネクションではHoAを使用する。一方、WLANインタフェースIF2は、信頼できない(Untrusted)Non3GPPネットワーク14及びVPLMN(Visited Public Land Mobile Network)16経由でP-GW13に接続し、このコネクションではCoAを使用する。さらに、UE10は、P-GW13へCoAを登録するためのBUメッセージを送信し、ePDG15を介してP-GW13との間でコネクションを確立している。
図2は、UE10のブロック図を示す。UE10は、3GPPインタフェースIF1と、Non3GPPインタフェース(WLANインタフェースIF2)と、ルーティングルール生成部101と、アドレス管理部102と、上位レイヤ103と、位置情報登録部104と、Non3GPPネットワーク接続処理部105と、HNPアドレス生成部106を有する。HNPアドレス生成部106は、Non3GPPネットワーク接続処理部105又は上位レイヤ103の指示を受け、HNPを用いてホームアドレス(HoA)とは異なるアドレス(HNPアドレス)を生成する。HNPアドレスを生成する際には、アドレス管理部102が保持しているHoA及び既に使用されているHNPアドレスと異なるHNPアドレスを生成する。HNPアドレス生成部106はまた、生成したHNPアドレスをアドレス管理部102へ保持するよう指示する。
図4は、ルーティングルール登録メッセージ21を含むパケット20のフォーマット例を示す。メッセージ21には、上述したように、ルーティングルール22として、フローID23と、ルーティングフィルタ24と、ルーティングアドレス(BID)25と、適用可否情報26が含まれている。適用可否情報26としてはルーティングルール登録メッセージ21内のフラグを用いることができる。例えば、このフラグがセットされている場合は「適用可能」を示し、セットされていない場合は「適用不可」を示す。
図9は、P-GW13のブロック図を示す。P-GW13は、インタフェース201と、位置情報登録処理部202と、パケット転送処理部203と、UE情報管理部(BC)204と、ルーティングルール保持部205と、ルーティングルール登録処理部206とから構成される。位置情報登録処理部202は、UE10から受信したBUメッセージの処理を行い、BUメッセージに含まれているUE10のHoAとCoAを取得し、BCとしてUE情報管理部204へ保持するよう指示する。
図10は、UE10がHNPアドレスに対してルーティングルールを適用するか否かを考慮しない場合にP-GW13のUE情報管理部204に登録するHoA用のBC(HoA)を示す。UE情報管理部204には、HoAに対してHoA及びBID1がバインディングされたBC1と、HoAに対してCoA及びBID2がバインディングされたBC2が登録される。
パケット転送処理部203は、UE10のHoA宛のパケットを代理受信したときにルーティングルール保持部205を参照し、受信したパケットに対応するルーティングフィルタ24、24a、24bが存在するか否かを検索する。一致するルーティングフィルタ24、24a、24bが存在する場合は、そのルーティングフィルタ24、24a、24bに対応するBIDを取得する。そしてUE情報管理部204に対し、取得したBIDに対応するBCの転送先アドレスを問い合わせる。UE情報管理部204から取得した転送先アドレスがCoAである場合は、そのCoAを宛先アドレスとするヘッダをパケットに付加(カプセル化)し、転送する。一方、UE情報管理部204から取得した転送先アドレスがHoAである場合は、カプセル化せずにそのままパケットを転送する。なお、ここでの転送処理は、モバイルIPによって行われる転送処理であり、実際には、PMIPによる転送処理も行われる。
本発明の第2の実施の形態では、3GPPインタフェースIF1におけるベアラ選択のために定義されているTFT(Traffic Flow Template)の、HNPアドレスに対する扱いについて説明する。TFTとは、3GPPネットワーク11にアクセスしているUE10とP-GW13の間、あるいはUE10とS-GW12の間に複数のEPSベアラ(Evolved Packet System bearer)があるときに、UE10宛のパケット(downlink packet)をどのEPSベアラにマッピング(Bearer Binding)するかを判断(ベアラバインディング)するために使われる情報である。3GPPネットワーク11に対するコネクションが、GTP(GPRS tunneling protocol)を用いて確立されている場合は、P-GW13がベアラバインディングを行い、PMIPを用いて確立されている場合は、S-GW12がベアラバインディングを行う。
第3の実施の形態では、3GPPにおいて、UE10がマクロ基地局(evolved Node B(eNB)、Node B、マクロセル)又はフェムト基地局(ホーム evolved Node B(Home eNB、以下HeNB)、ホームNode B(Home NB)、ホーム基地局や小型基地局、代理基地局、CSG(Closed Subscriber Group)セルとも呼ばれる)に接続しており、マクロ基地局又はHeNBを介して3GPPコアネットワーク(ホームネットワーク)へ繋がり、3GPPコアネットワークを経由して外部のネットワーク(インターネットなど)へ繋がるパスと、マクロ基地局又はHeNBを介して直接外部のネットワーク(インターネットなど)へ繋がるパスを構成している場合について説明する。以下では、HeNBの場合について述べているが、マクロ基地局を介して直接外部のネットワークへ繋がるパスを構成している場合でも同様のことが言える。
図15は、1つの3GPPインタフェースIFを有するUE10が、UE10のホーム基地局であるHeNB70に接続してHeNB70から3G経由パスP31又は直接パスP32を選択的に経由して例えばインターネット18上のCN17と通信している場合のネットワーク構成図である。通常UE10がマクロ基地局へ接続した場合、割り当てられたプレフィックスから生成したアドレスを用いて、3G経由パスを介して外部のネットワークにいるノードと通信を行う。本実施の形態のUE10は、HeNB70に接続するため、3G経由パスP31用のアドレスAと直接パスP32用のアドレスBの2つのアドレスを取得する。なお、アドレスAを生成するためのプレフィックスとアドレスBを生成するためのプレフィックスは異なるプレフィックスであることが望ましいが、HeNB70によるアドレス変換が可能であれば、共通のプレフィックスから異なるアドレスA、Bを生成してもよい。また、HeNB70によるアドレス変換が可能である場合、3G経由パスP31用のアドレスAと直接パスP32用のアドレスBは同じであってもよい。以下では、異なるアドレスA、Bを用いる場合について説明する。
<ケース1>
まず、図15において、UE10が、3G経由パスP31はまだ未確立であるが、直接パスP32で有効なアドレスBを取得している時に、ルール1(“Type=フローA(例、Web) => 直接パス”)をHeNB70へ登録するケース(ケース1)について説明する。UE10はルール1をHeNB70へ登録する際に、フローAを3G経由パスP31経由で送信する可能性がある場合には、ルール1に対してルール非適用情報を付加する。一方、フローAを直接パスP32経由でのみ転送する場合は、ルール1に対してルール非適用情報を指定せずに登録する。なお、UE10がルーティングルールを生成する際にポリシー(事前設定されたポリシー又は情報サーバから取得したポリシー)を参照し、かつ登録するルールに対してルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを示す情報がポリシーの中に含まれている場合は、その指定に従ってルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを判断する。例えば、ポリシーにおいて、フローAの転送先としてWLANと3Gの両方が指定されており、かつWLANの方が優先度高として指定されている場合(“Type=フローA(例、Web) => 1st Priority:直接パス(WLAN)、2nd Priority:3G経由パス(3G)”)は、UE10は、フローAは3G経由パスP31を用いて送信する可能性があるフローと判断し、登録するルールにルール非適用情報を指定する。一方、フローAの転送先の候補としてWLANのみが指定されている場合は、フローAは3G経由パスP31を用いて送信されないフローであると判断し、登録するルールにルール非適用情報を指定しない。
次に、図15において、UE10が、3G経由パスP31と直接パスP32の両方を確立しており、3G経由パスP31で有効なアドレスとしてアドレスAを、直接パスP32で有効なアドレスとしてアドレスBを取得した後に、ルール1をHeNB70へ登録するケース(ケース2)について説明する。このケース2においても、UE10はルール1をHeNB70へ登録する際に、フローAを3G経由パスP31経由で送信する可能性がある場合には、ルール1に対してルール非適用情報を付加する。一方、フローAを直接パスP32経由でのみ転送する場合は、ルール1に対してルール非適用情報を指定せずに登録する。なお、UE10がルーティングルールを生成する際にポリシー(事前設定されたポリシー又は情報サーバから取得したポリシー)を参照する場合であり、かつ登録するルールに対してルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを示す情報がポリシーの中に含まれている場合は、その指定に従ってルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを判断する。
次に、図15において、UE10が、3G経由パスP31を確立し、3G経由パスP31で有効なアドレスAを取得している時に、ルール(“Type=フローB(例、VoIP) => 3G経由パス”、以下ルール3)をHeNB70へ登録するケース(ケース3)について説明する。UE10はルール3をHeNB70へ登録する際に、フローBを送信する際に使用するアドレスをアドレスAに限定する場合には、ルール3に対してルール非適用情報を付加する。一方、フローBを3G経由パスP31へ送信する際に使用するアドレスを限定しない場合は、ルール3に対してルール非適用情報を指定せずに登録する。なお、UE10がルーティングルールを生成する際にポリシー(事前設定されたポリシー又は情報サーバから取得したポリシー)を参照する場合であり、かつ登録するルールに対してルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを示す情報がポリシーの中に含まれている場合は、その指定に従ってルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを判断する。ルール3の登録を受けたHeNB70は、ルール3に基づき、フローBは3G経由パスP31へ転送可能なフローであること、つまり、パケットを破棄しないフローであることを認識する。ここで、UE10が3G経由パスP31で有効なアドレスとして、新たにアドレスCを取得したとする。
本実施の形態のUE10の構成について図16を用いて説明する。図16に示すUE10は、3GPPに対応する1つのインタフェースIFと、パケット転送部111と、上位レイヤ112と、ポリシー情報保持部113と、ルーティングルール生成部114と、ルーティングルール保持部115とパス管理部116を有する。ポリシー情報保持部113は、不図示のポリシーサーバからルーティングルールを生成する際に参照するポリシー情報を取得する。例えば、フローAの転送先パスとして直接パスP32を指定した基本ポリシーなどを取得する。ルーティングルール生成部114は、取得したポリシー情報やUE10自身が保持しているポリシー、さらには実際の通信状態などに基づいてルーティングルールを生成し登録する。また、基本ポリシーに基づくルールを登録する際に、ルールに対してルール非適用情報を指定するか否かを判断する。
図21は、HeNB70の構成を示すブロック図である。HeNB70は、3GPP対応のインタフェース71と、パケット転送処理部72と、ルーティングルール保持部73とルーティングルール処理部74を有する。ルーティングルール処理部74は、UE10から受信したルーティングルール登録メッセージ21cを処理し、メッセージ21cに含まれるルーティングルール22cを、指定されているルール非適用情報28とともに、ルーティングルール保持部73へ保持する。パケット転送処理部72は、UE10から送信されたパケットを転送するか否かを判断する。
また本発明は、フローの転送先が指定されたルーティングルールに応じて、モバイルノードが送信するパケット又はモバイルノード宛のパケットを受信したルーティング装置が第1のパス側又は第2のパス側に選択的に転送する場合のルーティングルールの適用条件を設定することができるという効果を有し、3GPPなどに利用することができる。
また本発明は、フローの転送先が指定されたルーティングルールに応じて、モバイルノードが送信するパケットを受信したホーム基地局が第1のパス側又は第2のパス側に選択的に転送する場合のルーティングルールの適用条件を設定することができるという効果を有し、3GPPなどに利用することができる。
