Abstract

A transfer method for subframe configuration information of a serving cell and a donor eNodeB are applied in a mobile relay scene. The method comprises: a current donor eNodeB sending a cell activation message to a target donor eNodeB, wherein the cell activation message comprises Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE-TDD) subframe configuration information of a serving cell of a mobile relay (MR) under the current donor eNodeB. The above-mentioned technical solution solves the problem how to ensure the continuity of the TDD subframe configuration in the cell of the target DeNB currently when the MR moves among several donor eNodeBs.

Claims (17)

1. A transfer method for subframe configuration information of a serving cell, comprising a step of: when a mobile relay (MR) moves among multiple donor eNodeBs, a current donor eNodeB sending a cell activation message to a target donor eNodeB,

wherein the cell activation message comprises Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE-TDD) subframe configuration information of a serving cell of the mobile relay (MR) under the current donor eNodeB,

wherein, the step of the current donor eNodeB sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB comprises a step of: the current donor eNodeB sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through an X2 interface or an S1 interface, and

wherein, the step of the current donor eNodeB sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through the S1 interface comprises: the current donor eNodeB sending the cell activation message to a mobile management entity (MME) through the S1 interface, and the MME sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through the S1 interface.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the cell activation message further comprises information of one or more cells to be activated.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, before the current donor eNodeB sends the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB, the method further comprises: the current donor eNodeB determining the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before the current donor eNodeB sends the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB, the method further comprises: the current donor eNodeB determining the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before the current donor eNodeB sends the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB, the method further comprises: the current donor eNodeB determining the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before the current donor eNodeB sends the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB, the method further comprises: the current donor eNodeB determining the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

7. A donor eNodeB, applied in a mobile relay scene, comprising a sending module, wherein: when the mobile relay moves among multiple donor eNodeBs, the sending module is configured to: send a cell activation message to a target donor eNodeB, wherein the cell activation message comprises Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE-TDD) subframe configuration information of a serving cell of a mobile relay (MR) under the current donor eNodeB,

wherein, the sending module is configured to send the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB according to the following mode: sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through an X2 interface or an S1 interface, and

wherein, the sending module is configured to send the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through the S1 interface according to the following mode: sending the cell activation message to a mobile management entity (MME) through the S1 interface, so that the MME sending the cell activation message to the target donor eNodeB through the S1 interface.

8. The donor eNodeB according to claim 7 , wherein, the cell activation message further comprises information of one or more cells to be activated.

9. The donor eNodeB according to claim 8 , further comprising a determination module, wherein, the determination module is configured to: determine the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

10. The donor eNodeB according to claim 7 , further comprising a determination module, wherein, the determination module is configured to: determine the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

11. The donor eNodeB according to claim 7 , further comprising a determination module, wherein, the determination module is configured to: determine the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.

12. The donor eNodeB according to claim 7 , further comprising a determination module, wherein, the determination module is configured to: determine the target donor eNodeB according to historical cell information carried in a switchover request message of the MR.
