针对LTE Stage2文档中的内容进行学习,并摘选出其中的一些技术点进行描述,如下:
HeNB相关的额外功能支持:
HeNB相对于eNB,针对其连接HeNB GW,有以下的额外功能:
1) 一个HeNB同时只可以连接一个HeNB GW;
2) 控制UE选择附属MME的操作由HeNB转交给HeNB GW;
3) HeNB的部署不需要网络规划,可能由于其处于的地理位置的不同而连接到不同的HeNB GW。
List of CSG IDs may be included in the paging message. If included, the HeNB GW may use the list of CSG IDs for paging optimization:CSG ID保存在哪里?
针对HeNB的连接,MME还需要实现以下功能:
1) 对是CSG成员的UE实现接入控制:当切换到CSG小区时,依据服务E-UTRAN提供给MME的CSG ID实现接入控制操作。
2) 对转换到混合小区的UE进行成员信息验证:当切换到混合小区时,由小区接入模式的出现触发身份验证,并且基于由服务E-UTRAN提供给MME的目标CSG ID。
3) 当附属或者切换到一个混合小区时,或者当被一个CSG小区或者混合小区服务的UE改变其成员信息时,向目标E-UTRAN传送CSG 成员信息。
4) 当UE的成员信息状态改变后,引导eNB执行相应的操作。
5) 依据消息中包含的TAI,路由切换消息以及MME配置改变(或者传输)消息给HeNB GWs;(TAI值由PLMN IDentitity和TAC(Tracking area code)组成, 唯一表示了UE的Tracking Area)注意:MME或者HeNB GW给非信任的HeNB或者eNB发送寻呼消息时,在消息中不包含CSG IDs的列表;
MME可以与HeNB共同支持LIPA;
Dominating S1 AP Procedures specifying
E-RAB Setup
MMEàeNB
The MME sending the E-RAB Setup Request Message to assign resources on Uu and S1 for one or several E-RABs and to setup corresponding data radio bearer for a given UE.
Initial Context Setup
MMEàeNB
To establish the necessary overall initial UE Context including E-RAB context, the security Key, Handover Restriction List, UE Radio capability and UE security capabilities etc.
Paging
MMEàeNB
At the reception of the PAGING message, the eNB shall perform paging of the UE in cells which belong to tracking areas as indicated in the List of TAIs IE.
CN Domain IE , paging DRX IE, CSG IDs, Paging Priority IE
NAS Transport
MME<-->eNB
The purpose of the NAS Transport procedure is to carry UE-MME signaling ,which won’t be interpreted by the eNB and whose contents are out of the scope of this specification , over the S1 interface. The UE-associated logical S1-connection shall be existed.
Initial UE Message
eNBàMME:
Contained in the RRC message, received from the radio interface, forward to the MME.
Management procedure
Reset: The purpose of the Reset procedure is to initialize or re-initialize the E-UTRAN, or part of E-UTRAN S1 AP UE-related contexts, in the event of a failure in the EPC or vice versa. This procedure doesn’t affect the application level configuration data exchange during the s1 setup procedure.
S1 Setup
eNBàMME
The first S1 AP message after the TNL association has been in operational.
UE capability information transport
Trace Procedure
The MME initiates the procedure by sending a TRACE START message. On reception of a TRACE START message, the eNB shall initiate the requested trace function.
Location Reporting procedure
Warning message Transmission Procedure
Kill: the purpose of this procedure is to cancel any already ongoing broadcast of a warning message.
eNB Direct Information Transfer: RAN information
