Abstract

The present invention discloses a mapping method and apparatus for resource status process, and the method comprises the following steps: DeNB receives resource status information from RN; said DeNB acquires the address of source eNB according to said resource status information and context information; said DeNB sends said resource status information to said source eNB according to the address of said source eNB. In the present invention, context information on DeNB is established for source eNB to enable DeNB to route resource status response message or resource status report to correct source eNB apparatus according to context information.

Claims

1. A mapping method for a resource status process comprising:

DeNB receiving resource status request message from eNB;

said DeNB allocating Measurement ID for source eNB in accordance with said resource status request message;

said DeNB sending resource status request message carrying said Measurement ID to a RN.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said DeNB allocating Measurement ID for said source eNB according to said resource status request message also includes:

said DeNB establishing context information for said source eNB, said context information storing the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID and said source eNB as well as said Measurement ID and Measurement ID of said source eNB.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said DeNB sending resource status request message carrying said Measurement ID to RN also includes:

said DeNB receiving resource status information from said RN, the said resource status information carrying said Measurement ID;

said DeNB acquiring the address of said source eNB according to said resource status information and context information;

said DeNB sending resource status information carrying Measurement ID of said source eNB to said eNB according to the address of said eNB.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said DeNB acquiring the address of said source eNB according to said resource status information and context information, including

said DeNB acquiring said Measurement ID according to said resource status information and the address of said source eNB according to the corresponding relation between Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said DeNB sending resource status information that carrying Measurement ID of said source eNB to said source eNB according to the address of such eNB, including:

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs, said DeNB structuring the uniform resource status information according to resource status information from said multiple RNs and sending the uniform information to said source eNB according to the address of such eNB;

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to one RN, said DeNB sending resource status information from said RN directly to said source eNB according to said source eNB address.

6. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said method also includes:

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs, Measurement ID is allocated for each RN when said DeNB allocates Measurement ID for said source eNB;

the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB refers to;

the relation between Measurement ID of said source eNB and that allocated by each RN;

or,

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to one RN, Measurement ID is allocated for a RN when said DeNB allocates Measurement ID for said source eNB;

the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB refers to;

the relation between Measurement ID of said source eNB and that allocated by the RN.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said DeNB sending resource status request message carrying said Measurement ID to RN, includes:

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs, said DeNB structuring a resource status request message corresponding to each RN according to a resource status request message from said source eNB and sending a corresponding resource status request message to each RN respectively;

if said cell information to be reported corresponds to one RN, said DeNB sending a resource status request message from said source eNB directly to the RN.

8. The method as claimed in 3, wherein said resource status request message includes:

a resource status response message or a resource status report.

9. A mapping apparatus for a resource status process comprises:

a reception module used to receive a resource status request message from an eNB said resource status request message includes cell information to be reported;

a processing module used to allocate Measurement ID for said source eNB in accordance with said resource status request message received by said reception module;

a sending module used to send a resource status request message carrying said Measurement ID to a RN.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 wherein,

said processing module is also used to establish context information for said source eNB, such information stores the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID and said source eNB as well as Measurement ID of source eNB.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 wherein the apparatus also includes an acquisition module;

aid reception module also used to receive resource status information from a RN;

said resource status information carries said Measurement ID;

said acquisition module used to acquire the address of source eNB according to said resource status information and context information received by said reception module;

said sending module also used to send resource status information that carries Measurement ID of said source eNB to said eNB according to the address of said eNB acquired by said acquisition module.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 wherein,

said acquisition module is used to acquire said Measurement ID according to said resource status information and the address of said source eNB according to said Measurement ID and the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 wherein,

said sending module is used to construct uniform resource status information according to resource status information from said multiple RNs and send the uniform information to said source eNB according to the address of said eNB if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs;

if said cell information needing to be reported corresponds to a RN, directly send resource status information from said RN to said source eNB according to the address of said source eNB.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 wherein,

said processing module is used to allocate Measurement ID for each RN when Measurement ID is allocated for said source eNB if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs;

the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB refers to;

the relation between Measurement ID of said source eNB and that allocated by each RN;

or,

allocate Measurement ID for the RN when Measurement ID is allocated for said source eNB if said cell information to be reported corresponds to one RN;

the corresponding relation between said Measurement ID stored in said context information and said source eNB refers to;

the relation between Measurement ID of said source eNB and that allocated by the RN.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 wherein,

said sending module is used to construct a resource status request message corresponding to each RN according to a resource status request message from said source eNB, and send a corresponding resource status request message to each RN if said cell information to be reported corresponds to multiple RNs;

and send a resource status request message from said source eNB to each RN if said cell information to be reported corresponds to a RN.
