Abstract

A cluster user based message transmission method and device. The method comprises: receiving a request message from a user equipment (UE) by the wireless access device, and allocating a connection resource for the UE by the wireless access device, wherein the request message carries information indicating whether the UE is a cluster user; when the UE is a cluster user, and if the UE does not receive or send data within a preset period, triggering the UE to enter a CELL_PCH state by the wireless access device; and when the UE is not a cluster user, and if the UE does not receive or send data within a preset period, releasing the connection resource of the UE by the wireless access device.

Claims

1. A cluster user based message transmission method, comprising:

receiving a request message from a user equipment by a wireless access device, and allocating a connection resource for the user equipment by the wireless access device, wherein the request message carries information indicating whether the user equipment is a cluster user;

when the user equipment is the cluster user, and if the user equipment does not receive or send data within a preset period, triggering the user equipment to enter a CELL-PCH state by the wireless access device; and

when the user equipment is not the cluster user, and if the user equipment does not receive or send data within the preset period, releasing the connection resource of the user equipment by the wireless access device.

2. The method according to claim 1, the method further comprising:

when the information of the cluster user is a first identifier, determining that the user equipment is the cluster user by the wireless access device; and

when the information of the cluster user is a second identifier, determining that the user equipment is not the cluster user by the wireless access device.

3. The method according to claim 1, the request message comprising:

a RRC connection establishment request message and a cell updating request message.

4. A cluster user based message transmission method, comprising:

determining whether a user equipment is a cluster user, by the user equipment; and

sending a request message to a wireless access device by the user equipment, wherein the request message carries information indicating whether the user equipment is the cluster user.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein when the information of the cluster user is a first identifier, it is indicated that the user equipment is the cluster user;

and

when the information of the cluster user is a second identifier, it is indicated that the user equipment is not the cluster user.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein the request message comprises:

a RRC connection establishment request message and a cell updating request message.

7. A wireless access device, comprising:

a receiving module, configured to receive a request message from a user equipment, wherein the request message carries information indicating whether the user equipment is a cluster user;

an allocating module, configured to allocate a connection resource for the user equipment; and

a processing module, configured to, when the user equipment is the cluster user, and if the user equipment does not receive or send data within a preset period, trigger the user equipment to enter a CELL-PCH state;

when the user equipment is not the cluster user, and if the user equipment does not receive or send data within the preset period, release the connection resource of the user equipment.

8. The wireless access device according to claim 7, wherein

the processing module is further configured to, when the information of the cluster user is a first identifier, determine that the user equipment is the cluster user;

and when the information of the cluster user is a second identifier, determine that the user equipment is not the cluster user.

9. The wireless access device according to claim 7, wherein the request message comprises:

a RRC connection establishment request message and a cell updating request message.

10. A user equipment, comprising:

a determining module, configured to determine whether the user equipment is a cluster user; and

a sending module, configured to send a request message to a wireless access device, wherein the request message carries information indicating whether the user equipment is a cluster user.

11. The user equipment according to claim 10, wherein

when the information of the cluster user is a first identifier, it is indicated that the user equipment is the cluster user;

and

when the information of the cluster user is a second identifier, it is indicated that the user equipment is not the cluster user.

12. The user equipment according to claim 10, wherein the request message comprises:

a RRC connection establishment request message and a cell updating request message.
