  • Patent number: 11589331
    Abstract: A method includes sending, by a serving node, instruction information to an anchor node, where the instruction information is used to instruct to establish a first interface between the serving node and the anchor node; and receiving, by the serving node, response information from the anchor node in response to the first instruction information, wherein the radio resource control message carried in a signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB1) of the terminal is served by the anchor node, and the radio resource control message carried in a signaling radio bearer 0 (SRB0) of the terminal is served by the serving node.

  • Patent number: 11523468
    Abstract: Example communications systems, methods and network devices are described. One example method includes sending a first message by a first access network device to a core network device to enable the core network device to send a second message to a second access network device, where the first message includes an identity of the second network device. The first message is used to request for X2 transport network layer (TNL) configuration information of a third network device, and the third network device is a network device that has established an X2 connection to the second network device. The first network device receives the X2 TNL configuration information of the third access network device from the second access network device. Therefore, a network device connected to a control plane of a core network can obtain TNL addresses of more network devices that are not connected to the control plane of the core network.

  • Publication number: 20210345285
    Abstract: A method, device and system are provided for a user equipment positioning. In an embodiment, a central device of a radio access network (RAN) node, which comprises the central device and at least two distributed devices, receives positioning measurement request information from a location management function (LMF) device. The central device separately sends uplink signal configuration information to a first distributed device and a second distributed device of the at least two distributed devices in application protocol signaling The first and two distributed devices measure an uplink signal sent from a user equipment, and the two distributed devices separately sends a uplink signal measurement result in an application protocol signaling to the central device. The central device sends a positioning measurement result comprising the two uplink signal measurement results to the LMF device.

  • Publication number: 20180049102
    Abstract: The present invention provides an access control method, a base station, user equipment, and a mobility management entity, where the access control method includes: receiving, by the base station, a temporary identifier and a PLMN available indication that are of the UE and sent by the UE; receiving a service request message sent by the UE, and determining a serving MME of the UE according to a GMMEI in the temporary identifier of the UE; and sending the service request message and the PLMN available indication to the serving MME of the UE, so that the serving MME of the UE sends a redirection indication, and the UE registers with an HPLMN of the UE. Therefore, in a network sharing scenario, the UE can select the home PLMN of the UE as a serving PLMN of the UE as early as possible.
