  • Patent number: 8605679
    Abstract: A method for avoiding resource being released mistakenly during tracking area update or handover process comprising: determining, by a target Mobility Management Entity MME, whether to use an old System Architecture Evolution Serving GW or to reselect a new Serving GW; if the target MME determines to select a new serving GW, notifying the original MME, the original MME sending a request for deleting bearer to the old Serving GW. The technical scheme of the present invention can avoid that the original MME will still send a request for deleting subscriber context to the old Serving GW when the target MME still uses the old Serving GW rather than selects a new one during tracking area update or handover process of the subscriber, which results in the appearance of a problem that the resource related to the subscriber in the old Serving GW is released mistakenly.

  • Patent number: 8335832
    Abstract: A method for releasing buffered data of a Serving Gateway is disclosed? the Serving Gateway (Serving GW) buffers downlink data sent to a user and sends a data notification message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME); after receiving the data notification message, the MME initiates a paging to the user and sets a paging timer, if the paging timer expires and no paging response of the user is received, the MME sends a notification message to the Serving GW to inform the Serving GW that there is no paging response from the user; and after receiving the notification message, the Serving GW releases the buffered downlink data. With this method, the Serving GW can release buffered data in time without causing wrong release of the buffered data, so the system efficiency can be improved.

  • Patent number: 8280381
    Abstract: The present invention provides an intra-system handoff method, comprising the following steps: S302, when deciding a handoff of UE to a target base station, a source base station issues a handoff request to the target base station; S304, in response to the handoff request from the source base station, the target base station informs the source base station to conduct handoff for the UE; S306, after the completion of the handoff, the target base station issues an update request to an MME; and S308, in response to the update request from the target base station, the MME conducts Serving GW selection, and further fulfils the intra-system handoff. By the present invention, the target eNodeB need not determine whether access to the Serving GW is available, and accordingly the target eNodeB can avoid from configuring Serving GW.

  • Publication number: 20120120932
    Abstract: The present invention provides a message sending method and a serving GPRS support node. The method includes: when the SGSN, to which user equipment is connected, switches from a first SGSN to a second SGSN, the first SGSN sending to the second SGSN a message carrying context information of the user equipment, wherein the context information includes the gateway type of packet data network to which the user equipment is connected. The present invention achieves the effects that the new SGSN can acquire the gateway type of the packet data network PDN and correctly select the type of the interface in use according to the gateway type.

  • Publication number: 20120069733
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for processing abnormalities between non-adjacent nodes. which is applied to network element nodes supporting a GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP). The GTP node sends a network element-level node abnormality message to other adjacent GTP nodes once the abnormality of an adjacent GTP node is detected. The message comprises information about the abnormal GTP node. The method of the present invention enables the non-adjacent GTP nodes to obtain each other's abnormality therebetween and perform relative processing by introducing the network element-level node abnormality message, thus solves the problem when the GTP is used in the 3GPP system that the resources cannot be recycled in time because of each other's unknown recovery between the non-adjacent nodes, or the problem of a message storm that may caused by the user-level message notification through the intermediate node.

  • Publication number: 20110194406
    Abstract: A method for processing bearer reestablishment failure is disclosed in the present invention for preventing a SGW from doing error processing due to the bearer reestablishment failure in a SAE network. The method comprises the following steps: a mobility management entity (MME) sending a notification message to a service gateway (SGW) after reestablishment of a bearer, the notification message carrying effectiveness parameters indicating the effectiveness state of the bearer, and the SGW storing the effectiveness parameters; the SGW not delivering data packets if the effectiveness state of the bearer is failure when the SGW is to deliver data packets.
