Patent ID: 8874079

Claim:
A control method for home evolved NodeB (H(e)NB) access, comprising: a H(e)NB gateway interacting with a Broadband Policy Control Framework (BPCF) through a H(e)NB policy function, and requesting for admission control of a fixed broadband access network; the BPCF returning a result of the admission control to the H(e)NB gateway through the H(e)NB policy function; and the H(e)NB gateway further interacting with a H(e)NB through the H(e)NB policy function to establish a radio bearer; wherein, the H(e)NB policy function acquiring H(e)NB location information comprises: a security gateway connected with the H(e)NB gateway sending an IPSec external tunnel information of a H(e)NB to the H(e)NB gateway, and then the H(e)NB gateway sending the IPSec external tunnel information of an H(e)NB to the H(e)NB policy function; wherein, the security gateway sending the IPSec external tunnel information to the H(e)NB gateway comprises: the security gateway sending the IPSec external tunnel information to the H(e)NB, and the H(e)NB sending the IPSec external tunnel information to the H(e)NB gateway; or the security gateway adding the IPSec external tunnel information into an S1 setup process initiated by the H(e)NB to be sent to the H(e)NB gateway; or the security gateway being connected to the H(e)NB, and the security gateway sending the IPSec external tunnel information to the H(e)NB gateway through a newly defined message; or the security gateway directly sending IPSec external tunnel information of the H(e)NB to the H(e)NB policy function; wherein, the security gateway directly sending IPSec external tunnel information of an H(e)NB to the H(e)NB policy function comprises: the security gateway sending a first message to the H(e)NB policy function, the first message carrying the IPSec external tunnel information and a remote IP address of the H(e)NB; the H(e)NB interacting with the H(e)NB gateway through an IPSec security association (SA) established between the H(e)NB and the security gateway, wherein the H(e)NB gateway obtains the remote IP address of the H(e)NB; the H(e)NB gateway sending a second message to the H(e)NB policy function, the second message carrying the remote IP address of the H(e)NB; and the H(e)NB policy function associating the first message with the second message according to the remote IP address of the H(e)NB, thereby obtaining the IPSec external tunnel information.
