Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present specification, provided is a method for setting an interface between a radio access device for providing services to user equipment (UE) by using cellular-based radio access technology (RAT) and/or wireless LAN-based RAT, and a mobility management entity (MME). The method can comprises the steps of: transmitting, by the radio access device, a request message to the MME; and receiving a response message from the MME.
Claims14
A method for setting an interface between a mobility management entity (MME) and a radio entity (RE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the RE, an interface setup request message to the MME,
- wherein the MME provides one or more services to the RE using a cellular-based Radio Access Technology (RAT) and/or a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)-based RAT;
- and
- receiving, by the RE, an interface setup response message from the MME, and
- wherein the interface setup request message includes an identifier (ID) of the RE, type information of the RE, and information on mobility capability of the RE,
- wherein the type information of the RE indicates a specific type of RE among the following:
- a first type indicating only the cellular-based RAT, a second type indicating both of the cellular-based RAT and the WLAN-based RAT, a third type indicating the cellular-based RAT, and having an interface with a WLAN Access Point (AP), and a fourth type indicating both of the cellular-based RAT and the WLAN-based RAT, and having an interface for an external WLAN AP,
- wherein the interface setup response message includes an MME group ID or an MME code.
A wireless access device for providing one or more services to a radio entity (RE) using a cellular-based Radio Access Technology (RAT) and/or a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)-based RAT, the wireless access device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to control the transceiver to transmit an interface setup request message to a mobility management entity (MME), and to receive an interface setup response message from the MME;
- and
- wherein the interface setup request message includes an identifier (ID) of the RE, type information of the RE, and information on mobility capability of the RE
- wherein the type information of the RE indicates a specific type of RE among the following:
- a first type indicating only the cellular-based RAT, a second type indicating both of the cellular-based RAT and the WLAN-based RAT, a third type indicating the cellular-based RAT, and having an interface with a WLAN Access Point (AP), and a fourth type indicating both of the cellular-based RAT and the WLAN-based RAT, and having an interface for an external WLAN AP,
- wherein the interface setup response message includes an MME group ID or an MME code.
