Below by application example, above-described embodiment method is illustrated, should be appreciated that following described application example, only for for example, is not intended to limit the present invention.
Application example 1
This example is described in the situation of Home eNodeB normal shutdown or dormancy, and Home eNodeB sends X2 Connection Release Indication message to the flow process of opposite end macro base station, as shown in Figure 6, comprises the following steps:
Step S601: Home eNodeB is about to shutdown or dormancy;
Described shutdown or dormancy refer to Home eNodeB in network, energising etc. under normal circumstances, carry out shutdown or dormancy program.
Step S602: Home eNodeB sends X2 Connection Release indication information to X2 gateway (X2GW) by the message on X2 interface;
Particularly, Home eNodeB is used the existing or newly-increased signaling message on X2 interface to send X2 Connection Release indication information; Preferably, add the release that direct indication information element or multiplexing existing cell indicate X2 to connect in can the existing signaling message on X2 interface, or in the newly-increased signaling message on X2 interface, add the release that direct indication information element indicates X2 to connect.
Existing signaling message on spendable X2 interface comprises base station configuration updating related news (comprising base station configuration updating information (eNB Configuration Update) or base station configuration updating acknowledge message (eNB Configuration Update Acknowledge)), load information (Load Information) Indication message, resource status interaction message (comprising resource status request message (Resource StatusRequest) or resource status response message (Resource Status Response) or resource status updating message (Resource Status Update)), switch related signaling message (comprising handover request message (Handover Request) or switch acknowledgment message (Handover Acknowledge)), signaling message on UE context release message (UE Context Release) and existing other X2 interface,
Signaling message on described newly-increased X2 interface can be a newly-increased X2 signaling message that is specifically designed to indication X2 Connection Release, or other signaling messages on newly-increased X2 interface, is used for indication X2 Connection Release.
After step S603:X2 gateway receives the message on described X2 interface, this message is transmitted to macro base station;
The mode of the message on X2 gateway forwards X2 interface is: according to the destination address carrying in X2 message, this X2 transmission of messages is arrived to correct object base station.
Step S604: macro base station receives after described X2 discharges indication information, discharge to Home eNodeB between X2 connects and the Home eNodeB preserved is relevant information;
