- the present invention relates to the communication field, and more particularly, to a method, device, and system for sending a reset message sequence number.
- signals are transmitted by using a signaling link protocol (SLP), and information interaction between an access network (AN) and an access terminal (AT) is realized by sending SLP message packets between the AN and the AT.
- SLP signaling link protocol
- Each SLP packet has a corresponding sequence number. The sequence number beginning from 0 is used for determining whether the SLP packet is a retransmitted message.
- the reset process of the SLP is accomplished by sending a Reset message and a ResetAck message between the AN and the AT.
- the Reset message and the ResetAck message also have the corresponding message sequence numbers, and the message sequence numbers of the Reset message and the ResetAck message in the same flow are identical.
- Step 100 an AN initializes the local sequence number of the SLP packet for the AT (including sending message sequence number and receiving message sequence number).
- Step 101 the AN sends a Reset message to the AT.
- Step 102 the AT receives the Reset message, and then verifies the message sequence number of the Reset message.
- Step 103 when determining that the Reset message is valid, the AT feeds back a ResetAck message to the AN.
- the AT discards the Reset message.
- Step 104 the AT initializes the local sequence number of the SLP packet.
- Step 105 the AN receives the ResetAck message, and verifies the message sequence number of the ResetAck message. For example, if the message sequence number of the ResetAck message is identical to the message sequence number of the Reset message delivered by the AN, the ResetAck message is considered to be valid.
- the valid check on the Reset message is performed by verifying the message sequence number of the Reset message, and the verification method is described below. Given that the sequence number occupies S bits, if the sequence number is N, [N+1, N+2 S ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1] is considered to be greater than N, and [N ⁇ 2S ⁇ 1, N ⁇ 1] is smaller than N.

- the AT verifies the validation of the Reset message according to the message sequence number of the Reset message. Thereby, during a connected state handoff between the ANs, since the source AN cannot transmit the message sequence number of the Reset message to the target AN, the target AN cannot perform a reset process on the AT. Therefore, the sequence number of the SLP packet subsequently sent between the AT and the target AN is determined to be invalid, thus causing packet loss.
- the Reset message sequence number of the AT on the source AN is 2 and the Reset message sequence number on the AT is also 2, after the AT is switched from the source AN to the target AN, since the target AN fails to receive the Reset message sequence number of the AT, the Reset message sequence number of the AT on the target AN is 1.
- the target AN performs a reset process on the AT, the Reset message sequence number “1” is sent to the AT, and AT determines that “1” is smaller than the local Reset message sequence number “2,” so that a reset process will not be performed, that is, the local SLP data structure and the corresponding buffer will not be cleared and the sequence number of the local SLP packet will not return to zero.
- the source AN After the source AN sends the Reset message sequence number “1,” the local SLP data structure and the corresponding buffer of the AT and the sequence number of the SLP packet are initialized, so that the AT relevant information at two sides are inconsistent.
- the target AN sends the SLP packet to the AT, since the sequence number of the SLP packet is smaller than the sequence number of the local SLP packet of the AT, the AT determines that the SLP packet subsequently sent by the target AN is invalid and then discards the SLP packet, thus causing SLP packet loss.

Abstract
A method of sending reset message sequence number is provided. During a connected state handoff of an access terminal (AT) between a source access network (AN) and a target AN, the source AN sends a reset message sequence number of the AT to the target AN. The source AN adds the reset message sequence number of the AT to the message sent to the target AN. Thereby, the problem in the existing systems that, the source AN cannot send the reset message sequence number of the AT to the target AN, and thus the target AN cannot perform a reset process on the AT when the AT is switched from the source AN to the target AN is thus solved. An access network (AN) and a communication system are also provided.
Description
- This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2007/003040, filed Oct. 25, 2007, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200610161003.9, filed Dec. 1, 2006, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to the communication field, and more particularly, to a method, device, and system for sending a reset message sequence number.
- In a code division multiple access high rate packet data (CDMA HRPD) system, signals are transmitted by using a signaling link protocol (SLP), and information interaction between an access network (AN) and an access terminal (AT) is realized by sending SLP message packets between the AN and the AT. Each SLP packet has a corresponding sequence number. The sequence number beginning from 0 is used for determining whether the SLP packet is a retransmitted message. When a reset process of SLP needs to be performed for the AT, the reset process of the SLP is accomplished by sending a Reset message and a ResetAck message between the AN and the AT. The Reset message and the ResetAck message also have the corresponding message sequence numbers, and the message sequence numbers of the Reset message and the ResetAck message in the same flow are identical.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the main flow of the reset process of SLP is given below. - In
Step 100, an AN initializes the local sequence number of the SLP packet for the AT (including sending message sequence number and receiving message sequence number). - In
Step 101, the AN sends a Reset message to the AT. - In
Step 102, the AT receives the Reset message, and then verifies the message sequence number of the Reset message. - In
Step 103, when determining that the Reset message is valid, the AT feeds back a ResetAck message to the AN. - On the other hand, when determining that the Reset message is invalid, the AT discards the Reset message.
- In
Step 104, the AT initializes the local sequence number of the SLP packet. - In
Step 105, the AN receives the ResetAck message, and verifies the message sequence number of the ResetAck message. For example, if the message sequence number of the ResetAck message is identical to the message sequence number of the Reset message delivered by the AN, the ResetAck message is considered to be valid. - In the above method, the valid check on the Reset message is performed by verifying the message sequence number of the Reset message, and the verification method is described below. Given that the sequence number occupies S bits, if the sequence number is N, [N+1, N+2S−1−1] is considered to be greater than N, and [N−2S−1, N−1] is smaller than N. When the AT receives the Reset message, if the message sequence number carried in the Reset message is greater than the message sequence number of the Reset message previously received by the AT, the Reset message is considered valid; otherwise, the message is considered invalid.
- In the conventional CDMA HRPD system, the AT verifies the validation of the Reset message according to the message sequence number of the Reset message. Thereby, during a connected state handoff between the ANs, since the source AN cannot transmit the message sequence number of the Reset message to the target AN, the target AN cannot perform a reset process on the AT. Therefore, the sequence number of the SLP packet subsequently sent between the AT and the target AN is determined to be invalid, thus causing packet loss.
- For example, if the Reset message sequence number of the AT on the source AN is 2 and the Reset message sequence number on the AT is also 2, after the AT is switched from the source AN to the target AN, since the target AN fails to receive the Reset message sequence number of the AT, the Reset message sequence number of the AT on the target AN is 1. When the target AN performs a reset process on the AT, the Reset message sequence number “1” is sent to the AT, and AT determines that “1” is smaller than the local Reset message sequence number “2,” so that a reset process will not be performed, that is, the local SLP data structure and the corresponding buffer will not be cleared and the sequence number of the local SLP packet will not return to zero. After the source AN sends the Reset message sequence number “1,” the local SLP data structure and the corresponding buffer of the AT and the sequence number of the SLP packet are initialized, so that the AT relevant information at two sides are inconsistent. When the target AN sends the SLP packet to the AT, since the sequence number of the SLP packet is smaller than the sequence number of the local SLP packet of the AT, the AT determines that the SLP packet subsequently sent by the target AN is invalid and then discards the SLP packet, thus causing SLP packet loss. Such a packet loss will trigger failures to receive calls from other ATs or to use subscribed application services, thereby causing inconveniences to subscribers.
- The present invention provides a method of sending Reset message sequence number, a communication device, and a communication system.
- The present invention provides a method of sending reset message sequence number, which includes the following step.

- A unit is adapted to confirm a connected state handoff of an access terminal (AT) to a target access network (AN).

- The AT is adapted to establish a connection with a corresponding AN, so as to accomplish data communication.
- The plurality of ANs is adapted to enable the AT to access the network. When a connection state of the AT is switched between a source AN and a target AN, the source AN sends the reset message sequence number of the AT to the target AN, and the target AN performs a reset process on the AT according to the message sequence number.
- The present invention has the following advantages.
- In the present invention, a reset message sequence number of an AT is added into a message sent by the source AN to the target AN, thereby, during a switch of the AT from the source AN to the target AN, the reset message sequence number corresponding to the AT in the target AN can be updated in real time, so as to ensure the normal data communication after the AT is switched to the target AN, avoid signaling link protocol (LSP) data packet loss during the communication, thus ensuring the service quality of the AN.

- The A16-session Transfer Request Message or the A16-session Transfer Complete Message may carry the Reset message sequence number during the transmission in many different ways.

- As shown in
FIG. 2A , in this embodiment, the communication system includes an access terminal 20 (AT), a source access network 21 (AN1), and a target access network 22 (AN2). TheAT 20 is adapted to establish a connection with the corresponding AN, so as to accomplish data communication. Thesource AN 21 is adapted to send the Reset message sequence number of theAT 20 to thetarget AN 22 during a switch of theAT 20 from thesource AN 21 to thetarget AN 22; thetarget AN 22 is adapted to perform a reset process for theAT 20 according to the Reset message sequence number sent by thesource AN 21. - As shown in
FIG. 2B , in this embodiment, the source AN 21 includes acommunication unit 210 and aprocessing unit 211. Thecommunication unit 210 is adapted to send the Reset message sequence number of theAT 20 to the target AN 22 during the connected state handoff of theAT 20. Theprocessing unit 211 is adapted to confirm the connected state handoff of theAT 20 to the target AN 22, and add the Reset message sequence number into the message sent to the target AN 22. - In this embodiment, each message sent during information interaction between the AN1 and the AN2 is composed of a plurality of different Information Elements, and each Information Element contains a corresponding SSI information or/and configuration negotiation parameter. Therefore, the AN1 may add the Reset message sequence number of the AT into the message sent to the AN2 by two methods.
- In the first method, a new SSI information, i.e., a Reset Parameter SSI, is added into a SSI record Information Element of the A16-session Transfer Request Message and the A16-session Transfer Complete Message, and the Reset Parameter SSI contains the Reset message sequence number of the AT.
- As shown in Table 1, the Reset Parameter SSI information includes fields and lengths. The fields include Parameter Type, Length, and Reset Sequence number of the source AN 21. The Reset Parameter SSI information is filled in the SSI record Information Element in the manner given in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Length Reset Field (bits) Parameter Format ID 8 0 Reserved ID 1 0 Protocol Type 7 0x14 Protocol Subtype 16 0 Parameter Type 8 1 Length 8 1 Reset Sequence number 8 8 - During a connected state handoff of the AT between the AN1 and the AN2, the AN1 and the AN2 perform a session information transfer through an A16 interface, and the Reset Parameter SSI information is transferred from the AN1 to the AN2 through the A16 interface.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , the detailed flow of the connected state handoff of theAT 20 between the source AN 21 and the target AN 22 is described below. InStep 300, a connection is established between the AT and the AN1, so as to activate the AT. - In
Step 301, the AN1 sends an A16-Session Transfer Request Message to the AN2 for switching the AT to the AN2. The A16-Session Transfer Request Message contains a Reset Parameter SSI information. - In
Step 302, the AN2 receives the A16-Session Transfer Request Message sent by the AN1, and feeds back an A16-Session Transfer Response message to the AN1. - In
Step 303, the AN1 receives the A16-Session Transfer Response message, and then indicates the AT to switch from the AN1 to the AN2. - In
Step 304, the AN1 sends an A16-Session Transfer Complete Message to the AN2 to inform the AN2 that the switch is performed. - Since the parameters may be changed during the switch, the A16-Session Transfer Complete Message also needs to carry the Reset Parameter SSI information.
- In
Step 305, the AT is switched from the AN1 to the AN2. - In the above first method, the Reset Parameter SSI information is added in the existing Information Element of the A16 interface between the AN1 and the AN2, thereby, the AN2 and the AT may maintain the new Reset Parameter SSI information at the same time, so as to enhance the reliability of the Reset message sequence number carried by the information.
- In the second method, an Information Element, i.e., a Reset Parameters Information Element, is added into the A16-Session Transfer Complete Message sent from the AN1 to the AN2. The header information and field information contained in the Information Element are respectively shown in Table 3 and Table 4; and the way of filling the Information Element in the A16-Session Transfer Complete Message is shown in Table 5.

On the other hand, the Reset message sequence number is transmitted as an individual Information Element, so as to enhance the observability of the parameter. By means of the above two methods, after the AT is accessed to the AN2, when a reset process needs to be performed for the AT, the AN2 sends the Reset message to the AT, and the message sequence number contained in the Reset message is the Reset Sequence number carried in the Reset Parameter SSI sent by the AN1 plus 1. After the AT receives the Reset message delivered by the AN2, a validity check is performed on the Reset message firstly. When the AT determines the Reset message is a valid message, a ResetAck message is sent to the AN2, and the local SLP data structure, the corresponding buffer, and the sequence number of the SLP packet are initialized.
