Abstract

The disclosure claims an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system and a task tracking method thereof. The method comprises the steps of: creating a message, which carries the parameters of multiple tasks for tracking a same user; sending the message to an Evolved NodeB (eNodeB), which is used for the eNodeB to create multiple tasks to track the user according to the parameters. The disclosure also claims an E-UTRAN system, which comprises: a creation module, configured to create a message which carries the parameters of multiple tasks for tracking a same user; a sending module, configured to send the message to the eNodeB; an eNodeB, configured to establish multiple tasks to track the user according to the parameters. The disclosure can guarantee that multiple tasks track one appointed user synchronously.

Dependent claims

A task tracking method of an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system, comprising:

creating a message, wherein the message carries parameters of multiple tasks for tracking a same user;
and
sending the message to an Evolved NodeB (eNodeB), which is used for the eNodeB to create the multiple tasks to track the user according to the parameters;
wherein carrying the parameters of the multiple tasks for tracking the same user in the message comprises:
setting multiple trace activation IEs in the message;
each trace activation IE comprises:
parameters of one task of the multiple tasks;
and an IsLastRecord field is configured to indicate whether an trace activation IE carrying the IsLastRecord field is a last trace activation IE in the message;
wherein the method further comprises:
the eNodeB receiving the message;
the eNodeB decoding the message to acquire the multiple trace activation IEs, comprising:
when decoding the message to acquire the current trace activation IE, the eNodeB judging whether a current trace activation IE is the last trace activation IE in the message according to the IsLastRecord field in the current trace activation IE;
and if the current trace activation IE is not the last trace activation IE, continuing decoding the message to acquire a next trace activation IE, and continuing judging whether the next trace activation IE is the last trace activation IE, until the last trace activation IE is acquired by decoding the message;
the eNodeB creating the multiple tasks according to parameters of the multiple trace activation IEs respectively;
and the eNodeB executing the multiple tasks to track the user.

An Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) system, comprising:

a first Evolved NodeB (eNodeB) or an Mobile Management Entity (MME) comprising a processor configured to execute program units stored on a memory, the program units comprising:
a creation module, configured to create a message, wherein the message carries parameters of multiple tasks for tracking a same user;
and a sending module, configured to send the message to a second Evolved NodeB (eNodeB);
and
the second eNodeB, configured to create the multiple tasks to track the user according to the parameters;
wherein the creation module is configured to set multiple trace activation IEs in the message;
each trace activation IE comprises:
parameters of one task of the multiple tasks;
and an IsLastRecord field is configured to indicate whether an trace activation IE carrying the IsLastRecord field is a last trace activation IE in the message;
wherein the second eNodeB comprises:
a receiving module, configured to receive the message;
a decoding module, configured to decode the message to acquire the multiple trace activation IEs, and to determine whether a current trace activation IE is the last trace activation IE of the message according to the IsLastRecord field in the current trace activation IE when decoding the message to acquire the current trace activation IE;
and if the current trace activation IE is not the last trace activation IE, to continue decoding the message to acquire a next trace activation IE, and to continue judging whether the next trace activation IE is the last trace activation IE, until the last trace activation IE is acquired by decoding the message;
a task creation module, configured to create the multiple tasks according to parameters of the multiple trace activation IEs respectively;
and an execution module, configured to execute the multiple tasks to track the user.
