Abstract

A method for realizing data forwarding, a network system, and a related device are provided. The method includes: receiving data sent from an external device; and judging whether the data is from or to a backhaul terminal, and directly forwarding the data if the data is from or to the backhaul terminal. A Base Station (BS) device includes: a receiving module, configured to receive data sent from an external device; a backhaul judging module, configured to judge whether the data is from or to a backhaul terminal; and a sending module, configured to directly forward the data after the backhaul judging module judges that the data is from or to the backhaul terminal. A backhaul terminal and a network system are further correspondingly provided. Accordingly, transmission bandwidth is saved through the provided technical solutions.

Claims (31)

1. A method for realizing data forwarding by a Base Station, comprising:

receiving, by the base station, data; and

after receiving, by the base station, the data, judging by the base station whether the data is from a backhaul terminal or to the backhaul terminal from a core network element,

if judged, by the base station, that the data is from the backhaul terminal, directly forwarding the data to the core network element without tunnel encapsulation or if judged, by the base station, that the data is from the core network element to the backhaul terminal, directly forwarding the data to the backhaul terminal without tunnel decapsulation,

wherein the data received from the backhaul terminal is classified and mapped by the backhaul terminal to a corresponding radio bearer according to a code point value obtained after code point labeling performed by a Secondary Base Station and the judging of whether the data is from the backhaul terminal is according to the corresponding relation between the radio bearer and the backhaul terminal, and

wherein the judging of whether the data is to the backhaul terminal is according to a comparison result of comparing a destination address carried in the data and an address of a Secondary Base Station corresponding to an address of the backhaul terminal.

2. The method for realizing data forwarding according to claim 1 , wherein the core network element is for the Secondary Base Station.

3. The method for realizing data forwarding according to claim 1 , wherein the judging whether the data is from the backhaul terminal comprises:

judging whether the data is from the backhaul terminal according to identification information of the backhaul terminal carried in the data.

4. The method for realizing data forwarding according to claim 1 , wherein the judging whether the data is to the backhaul terminal comprises:

judging whether the data is to the backhaul terminal according to identification information identifying that the data is to the backhaul terminal carried in the data.

5. The method for realizing data forwarding according to claim 1 , wherein the core network element is for the Secondary Base Station, and

wherein

the data is data which is sent by the core network element after code point labeling is performed by the core network element; and

the directly forwarding the data from the core network element to the backhaul terminal comprises:

directly classifying and mapping the data to a corresponding radio bearer according to a code point value obtained after the code point labeling is performed by the core network element.

6. A Base Station, comprising:

a receiving module, configured to receive data;

a backhaul judging module, configured to judge whether the data received by the receiving module is from a backhaul terminal or to the backhaul terminal from a core network element; and

a sending module, configured to directly forward the data to the core network element without tunnel encapsulation after the backhaul judging module judges that the data is from the backhaul terminal or directly forward the data to the backhaul terminal without tunnel decapsulation after the backhaul judging module judges that the data is from the core network element to the backhaul terminal,

wherein the data received from the backhaul terminal is classified and mapped by the backhaul terminal to a corresponding radio bearer according to a code point value obtained after code point labeling performed by a Secondary Base Station and the backhaul judging module is configured to judge whether the data is from the backhaul terminal according to the corresponding relation between the radio bearer and the backhaul terminal, and

wherein the backhaul judging module is configured to judge whether the data is to the backhaul terminal according to a comparison result of comparing a destination address carried in the data and an address of a Secondary Base Station corresponding to an address of the backhaul terminal.

7. The Base Station according to claim 6 , wherein

the backhaul judging module is configured to judge whether the data is from the backhaul terminal according to identification information of the backhaul terminal carried in the data.

8. The Base Station according to claim 6 , wherein

the receiving module is configured to receive data sent by the core network element after code point labeling is performed on the data by the core network element.

9. The Base Station according to claim 6 , wherein

the backhaul judging module is configured to judge whether the data is to the backhaul terminal according to identification information identifying that the data is to the backhaul terminal carried in the data.

10. The Base Station according to claim 8 , wherein the core network element is for the Secondary Base Station, and further comprising:

a classifying and mapping module, configured to directly classify and map the data to a corresponding radio bearer according to a code point value obtained after the code point labeling is performed by the core network element, for the directly forwarding of the data from the core network element to the backhaul terminal by the sending module.

11. The Base Station according to claim 6 , wherein the code network element is for the Secondary Base Station.
