Abstract
The disclosure discloses a method and a system for implementing network attach of a Relay Node (RN). The method includes: the RN carries indication information of the RN in a message to be sent to a Donor eNodeB (DeNB) during an initial attach process, and the DeNB selects a Mobility Management Entity (MME) supporting the RN functionality for the RN according to the indication information of the RN. The disclosure makes minor changes to protocol and can make the RN smoothly attach a network to work.
Claims26
A method for implementing network attach of a Relay Node (RN), comprising:
- carrying, by the RN, indication information of the RN in a message to be sent to a Donor eNodeB (DeNB), during an initial attach process;
- and
- selecting for the RN, by the DeNB, a Mobility Management Entity (MME) supporting the RN functionality according to the indication information of the RN.
A Relay Node (RN) attach system, comprising an RN and a Donor eNodeB (DeNB) connecting the RN, wherein
- the RN is configured to carry indication information of the RN in a message to be sent to the DeNB during an initial attach process;
- and
- the DeNB is configured to select a Mobility Management Entity (MME) supporting the RN functionality for the RN according to the indication information of the RN.
