Method and apparatus for identifying user equipment, and method for transmitting and allocating a temporary identifier

摘要

A method and an apparatus for identifying a UE in an SAE network, and an MME are provided herein. The method includes: receiving an SAE-TMSI which is allocated to a UE that accesses an SAE network and includes at least: a pool-ID, an MME-ID, and a UE temporary identifier; using the SAE-TMSI to temporarily identify the UE in the SAE network. The apparatus includes: a receiving unit and a temporary identifying unit. The MME includes a temporary identifier allocating unit. Moreover, a method for transmitting and allocating a temporary identifier, and a method for receiving and transmitting information according to the temporary identifier are disclosed herein.

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a receiver that receives a track area update (TAU) accept message from a mobility management entity (MME) of a system architecture evolved (SAE) network, the TAU accept message comprising an identifier, wherein the identifier is constructed at least from a resource pool identifier (pool-ID), a mobility management entity identifier (MME-ID) and a UE temporary identifier, and a transmitter that sends a TAU complete message to the MME, wherein the identifier uniquely identifies the UE in a public land mobile network (PLMN); wherein the pool-ID identifies a resource pool in the PLMN, the MME-ID uniquely identifies within the resource pool the MME, and the UE temporary identifier uniquely identifies the UE within the MME.
