Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio honeycomb communication system, a kind of X2 connection fault handling method being specifically related under family's base station deployment application scenarios is connected information sending, receiving method and the device in processing with system and X2.
Background technology
Home eNodeB is a kind of compact low power base station, is mainly used in the indoor place among a small circle such as family and office.Home eNodeB is by indoor cable, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line, digital subscriber line) or the access in radio equipment connection such as optical fiber to mobile operator core net, for specific user provides the access service based on mobile radio networks, effectively supplementing that existing network is disposed, can effectively improve indoor voice and high-speed data service covers, there is lot of advantages, as low cost, low-power, access are simple, plug and play, saving passback, compatible with existing terminal, improve the network coverage etc.
In LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system, Home eNodeB is called as HeNB (home eNB).The function that HeNB supports and eNB (base station) are basically identical, and process and the process between eNB and EPC between HeNB and EPC (Evolved Packet Core, evolution block core net) are basically identical.Because the arrangement of HeNB is not passed through the little and One's name is legion of the network planning, the coverage of mobile operator conventionally, for management more easily and in order to support the HeNB of greater number, at E-UTRAN (Evolved UTRAN, the universal land radio access web of evolution) under framework, also may between being connected with the S1 of EPC, introduce HeNB a new network element HeNB GW (Home eNBGateway, femto gateway).HeNB can connect mobile management entity (Mobility Management Entity is called for short MME) as S1 agency by HeNB GW.Between HeNB, there is X2 direct interface, can carry out load balancing, handover optimization, information interaction etc.
In prior art, do not support to set up X2 interface between HeNB and macro base station, still, along with deepening continuously of HeNB research, the demand of setting up X2 interface between HeNB and macro base station is also more obvious.Be connected similar with S1, One's name is legion due to HeNB, for management more easily, reduce the number of connection of macro base station, alleviate the burden of macro base station, HeNB with can introduce a new network element between X2 between macro base station is connected: X2GW (X2 gateway), the X2 being used between the HeNB of route agent and eNB connects.This network element is acted on behalf of SCTP (the Stream Control TransmissionProtocol of HeNB and macro base station, SCTP) connect, routing forwarding X2 connects, be that X2GW sets up SCTP with HeNB with macro base station respectively and is connected, X2 connects or directly sets up between HeNB and macro base station.
Be deployed with the E-UTRAN network architecture of Home eNodeB and X2 gateway as shown in Figure 1, HeNB is connected to adjacent base station by X2GW, the route agent that X2GW is connected as X2 between HeNB and eNB, X2 message between routing forwarding HeNB and adjacent base station, under this scene, HeNB and adjacent between X2 message in, can be with the address of upper object base station, so that X2GW can correctly be forwarded to destination.As shown in Figure 2, X2GW sets up respectively SCTP with HeNB with adjacent base station and is connected, but do not set up X2, does not connect, and X2 is connected between HeNB and adjacent base station and directly sets up.Adjacent base station can comprise Home eNodeB, macro base station, micro-base station or relay base station.
But in actual applications, usually occur that the message of macro base station transmission is invalid, the situation that HeNB does not respond.

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;
