Implement the system and method for media independent handovers
Technical field
The present invention generally goes up relevant with wireless communication system, and particularly and a kind of being used between the different networks form, the method and system of enforcement media independent handovers is relevant.
Background technology
Typical portable system has two kinds of main operator schemes: standby mode (Idle mode) and connection mode (Connect mode).In standby mode, this platform (STA) characteristic comprises: no user's service (in other words, not having ongoing calling or business); The monitoring calling channel; Available services request channel; Can be used for 100% receiver during chain measures under this radio environment; The background coordinate; And the access point that is not ranked (AP) and/or technology are selected again.In connection mode, this sta characteristics comprises: initiatively user's service (similarly being afoot calling); Possible switching; For the limited receiver availability (because priority of this user) that measures; And be ranked access point and/or the technology switching coordinated fully.
Getting into (similarly being when starting) before the standby mode, this platform must be carried out selection, is used for this best access point and techniques available of this request user service with decision.When in standby mode, this platform is continuously with the contiguous access point of different technologies check.Based on one " preferable " decision of access point, this platform just shifts (in other words, carry out " select ") to this new access point again.
When in connection mode, a kind of basis is transferred to another from an access point and provides " preferable " switching that access point produced of service, comprise and switch to an access point that uses different technologies.In an ideal situation, need not serve to produce significantly to this active user and disturb, just can switch.
One target is for example between different wireless local area network network (WLAN) form, or between the different networks form between a WLAN and the cellular system, reaches a kind of no seam and switch (in other words, allowing moving of a platform).Present technology does not provide the switching of this form.
Fig. 1 is the icon of existing cellular mobility model 100, shows that a kind of provided for radio resources management (RRM) method is for this ambulant subject under discussion.One cellular platform 102 (for example a second generation moves platform or third generation user equipment) is in more than one access point 104, to move freely.This access point 104 can comprise but not be restricted to global system for mobile communications (GSM) base station and FDD/code division multiple access (FDD/CDMA) Node B.This access point 104 is connected to each other through a radio net 106.One switches policing feature (HPF) 108 is used, and with in these platform 102 corresponding moving, instructs this platform 102 in this access point 104.These switchover policy function 108 centralized configuration (for example among a second generation base station controller (BSC) or a third generation radio network controller (RNC)), and be connected with a network 110 (for example a switch or server).
