Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 105,115,399 filed in Taiwan on May 18, 2016, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to a method of handover, a method of managing a mobile device and the mobility management entity thereof, and a mobile base station and its management method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In recent years, many countries have established their high-speed train systems. High-speed train provides people with travels between cities or countries. If the high-speed train system can provide network services to train passengers to smoothly browse the web, watch online videos, as well as deal with instant messaging or electronic mail (EMAIL), it will provide a user-friendly environment.

In the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) working group, using the mobile relay (MR) technology to provide high speed train systems is discussed. The mobile relay could be located in each train carriage or in part of the train carriages. Mobile devices could be connected to the nearest mobile relay. For mobile devices, the mobile relay plays the role of a base station. The mobile relay redirects the data sent by the mobile device to the donor eNBs (DeNBs) which are along the train route. On the other hand, the mobile relay will redistribute the data from the network side to the mobile devices.

However, if the high-speed train system allows a mobile device smoothly handover to the mobile relay within a train when the mobile device enters the train and moves with the train, it will provide a smoother wireless communication environment. Regardless the development of the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) technology nowadays, it can be expected for certain, the development of mobile Internet is a trend. Therefore, the mobile base station (such as LTE-A mobile relay) appears more important. How to design an efficient and reliable handover scheme for allowing users to have smooth network services in carriages (such as high-speed train) becomes an important issue.

The mobile base station 200, the fixed base station 300 and a MBS mobility management entity (MME_MBS) 600 which correspond to the mobile base station, participate the MBS tracking area update procedure.

According to exemplary embodiments, in step 340, the MD mobility management entity (MME_MD) 500 transmits a request through the fixed base station 300 for setting the mobile base station ID to the mobile device 100.

The handover procedure mentioned in step 350 follows the procedure as defined in the practical application of the system, such as the handover procedure of the LTE-A system, the handover procedure of the S1/X2, the Macro Diversity Handover (MDHO), and the Fast BS Switch (FBSS), etc. It should refer to the definition of individual system, and does not require additional explanation here.

According to exemplary embodiments, in step 340, the MD mobility management entity 500 transmits a request for setting the mobile base station ID to the mobile device 100, and the mobile device 100 writes the received mobile base station ID into a mobile network ID list of the mobile device 100.

According to exemplary embodiments, the MBS tracking area update procedure (step 310) and MD tracking area update procedure (step 320) are not limited to the order of being performed, while the consideration is only based on the MBS or the MD enters the coverage area of the fixed base station.

A circuit may be designed by utilizing the hardware description language in numerous manners. For example, the manufacturer of integrated circuits may realize implementations with application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) or customer-design integrated circuits.

FIG. 7 shows a management method of a mobile base station according to an exemplary embodiment, which is adapted to the mobile base station 200. Step 710 comprises: the mobile base station 200 writes at least two network IDs into a first broadcasting system message; and, the mobile base station 200 periodically broadcasts the first broadcasting system message, for providing a first mobile device 100 to determine if there is any one of the at least two network IDs presents in a first mobile network ID list of the first mobile device 100, wherein when there is any one of the at least two network IDs presents in the first mobile network ID list of the first mobile device 100 and the first mobile device 100 receives a first handover message indicating the first mobile device 100 to hand over to the mobile base station 200, then, the first mobile device 100 hands over to the mobile base station 200.

In embodiments, after receiving the first broadcasting system message which is broadcast by the mobile base station 200, the mobile device 100 determines if there is any one of the at least two network IDs of the first broadcasting system message presents in a first mobile network ID list of the first mobile device 100. If there is, it indicates the mobile base station 200 could provide network services to the mobile device 100.

Continuing the previous paragraph, when the signal strength of mobile base station 200 is stronger than the signal strength of other base stations, in general, the mobile device 100 will receive a request to hand over to the mobile base station 200. Then, the mobile device 100 hands over to the mobile base station 200.

In embodiments, the aforementioned network ID is a Public Land Mobile Network Id (PLMNID).

In embodiments, the mobile base station 200 periodically broadcasts the first broadcasting system message, for providing a second mobile device 100′ to determine if there is any one of the at least two network IDs presents in a second mobile network ID list of the second mobile device 100′. Wherein when there is any one of the at least two network IDs presents in the second mobile network ID list of the second mobile device 100′, and the second mobile device 100′ receives a second handover message indicating the second mobile device 100′ to hand over to the mobile base station 200, then, the second mobile device 100′ hands over to the mobile base station 200. In embodiments, the second mobile device 100′ and the first mobile device 100 belong to different networks. After receiving the first broadcasting system message which is broadcast by the mobile base station 200, the mobile device 100 and 100′ determine individually if there is any one of the at least two network IDs of the first broadcasting system message presents in the mobile network ID list of the mobile device 100 and 100′. If there is, it indicates the mobile base station 200 could provide network services to the mobile device 100 or 100′. For example, if the mobile base station 200 provides 6 network services, then, the mobile devices belong to these 6 networks on the carriage could hand over to the mobile base station 200 individually, and further have the network services through the mobile base station 200.

FIG. 7 mainly shows the mobile base station 200 periodically broadcasts at least two broadcasting system messages including at least two network IDs, so that the mobile devices hand over to the mobile base station 200. The handover scheme, and the mobile base station 200 on how to communicate with the fixed base stations or the back-end system for providing network services, should refer to the definition of individual system, and does not require additional explanation here.

The mobile relay (MR) on the high-speed train is used as an example of the mobile base station 200. The Mobile Relay (MR) periodically broadcasts at least one broadcasting system message which includes the network IDs of serving networks. After the mobile devices (for example, 100, 100′, etc) on the high-speed train receive the at least one broadcasting system message, and when handover conditions are met, the mobile devices hand over to the mobile relay (MR) individually. The mobile relay (MR) play the role of the base station for the mobile devices.

For example, if the mobile base station 200 serves 12 networks, and the pre-determined number of the broadcasting system message is 6. As shown in FIG. 8(a) and FIG. 8(b), the mobile base station 200 writes the network IDs (id1, id2, id3, id4, id5, id6, id7, id8, id9, id10, id11, id12) of the networks into a first broadcasting system message and a second broadcasting system message, and periodically broadcasts the first broadcasting system message or the second broadcasting system message at a proper time. For example, the mobile base station 200 broadcasts 6 network IDs (for example, id1, id2, id3, id4, id5, id6) at the first run, and broadcasts other 6 network IDs (for example, id7, id8, id9, id10, id11, id12) at the second run.

In addition, for example, if the mobile base station 200 serves 8 networks, and the pre-determined number of the broadcasting system message is 6. The mobile base station 200 writes the network IDs (id1, id2, id3, id4 id5, id6, id7, id8) of the networks into a first broadcasting system message and a second broadcasting system message, and periodically broadcasts the first broadcasting system message or the second broadcasting system message at a proper time. For example, mobile base station 200 broadcasts 6 network IDs (for example, id1, id2, id3, id4, id5, id6) at the first run, and broadcasts other 2 network IDs (for example, id7, id8) at the second run, as shown in FIG. 8(c) and FIG. 8(d).

The mobile base station 200 may write the network IDs into the broadcasting system message in various ways, FIG. 8(a)˜FIG. 8(d) are considered as exemplars only, but not limited thereto.
