Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a service processing method, a communication device, and a communication system. The service processing method includes: receiving a request message initiated by a user equipment (UE); and changing a current default bearer of the UE according to the received request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell. The communication device includes: a generating unit, configured to generate a request message, where the request message carries information indicating a service required by a UE; and a sending unit, configured to send the request message generated by the generating unit to a network side, where the network side changes a current default bearer of the UE according to the information carried in the request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell.

Claims

1. A service processing method, comprising:

receiving a request message initiated by a user equipment (UE); and

changing a current default bearer of the UE according to the received request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the request message carries information indicating the service that the UE needs to obtain; and

the changing a current default bearer of the UE according to the received request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell is specifically;

changing the current default bearer of the UE according to the information that is carried in the request message and indicates the service that the UE needs to obtain, to the bearer corresponding to the service that the UE needs to obtain in the current serving cell.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein:

the request message is a tracking area update (TAU) request message, wherein the TAU request message carries an indication field indicating a handover from a restricted serving cell to a normal serving cell or an update type field indicating the handover from the restricted serving cell to the normal serving cell; and

the changing a current default bearer of the UE to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell is specifically;

changing the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to a normal default bearer;

or,

the request message is a TAU request message, wherein the TAU request message carries an indication field indicating a handover from a normal serving cell to a restricted serving cell or an update type field indicating the handover from the normal serving cell to the restricted serving cell; and

the changing a current default bearer of the UE to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell is specifically;

changing the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to an emergency default bearer;

or,

the request message is an Attach Request message, wherein the Attach Request message carries Attach Type indicating non-emergency; and

the changing a current default bearer of the UE to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell is specifically;

changing the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to a normal default bearer;

or,

the request message is an Attach Request message, wherein the Attach Request message carries Attach Type indicating emergency; and

the changing a current default bearer of the UE to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell is specifically;

changing the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to an emergency default bearer.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein:

the received request message initiated by the UE is a request message initiated by the UE after the UE determines that a current target cell is a normal serving cell when the request message is the TAU request message which carries the indication field indicating a handover from the restricted serving cell to the normal serving cell or the update type field indicating the handover from the restricted serving cell to the normal serving cell.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the changing a current default bearer of the UE to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell comprises;

carrying, by a mobility management entity (MME), a serving gateway, and a packet data network gateway, a parameter required for creating the bearer, and changing, by using the parameter, the current default bearer of the UE to the bearer corresponding to the service that the UE needs to obtain in the current serving cell.

6. A communication device, comprising:

a generating unit, configured to generate a request message, wherein the request message carries information indicating a service required by a user equipment (UE); and

a sending unit, configured to send the request message generated by the generating unit to a network side, wherein the network side changes a current default bearer of the UE according to the information carried in the request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell.

7. The communication device according to claim 6, further comprising:

a determining unit, configured to determine whether a current target cell is a restricted serving cell, and instruct the generating unit to generate a request message if the current target cell is not the restricted serving cell.

8. A communication device, comprising:

a receiving unit, configured to receive a request message initiated by a user equipment (UE); and

a processing unit, configured to change a current default bearer of the UE according to the received request message, to a bearer corresponding to a service that the UE needs to obtain in a current serving cell.

9. The communication device according to claim 8, wherein:

the request message received by the receiving unit carries information indicating the service that the UE needs to obtain; and

the processing unit changes the current default bearer of the UE according to the information that is carried in the request message and indicates the service that the UE needs to obtain, to the bearer corresponding to the service that the UE needs to obtain in the current serving cell.

10. The communication device according to claim 9, wherein:

the processing unit changes the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to a normal default bearer when the request message is a tracking area update (TAU) request message which carries an indication field indicating a handover from a restricted serving cell to a normal serving cell or an update type field indicating the handover from the restricted serving cell to the normal serving cell;

the processing unit changes the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to an emergency default bearer when the request message is a TAU request message which carries an indication field indicating a handover from a normal serving cell to a restricted serving cell or an update type field indicating the handover from the normal serving cell to the restricted serving cell;

the processing unit changes the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to the normal default bearer when the request message is an Attach message which carries Attach Type indicating non-emergency; and

the processing unit changes the current default bearer of the UE in the current serving cell to an emergency default bearer when the request message is an Attach message which carries an Attach Type indicating emergency.
