Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not used to describe a specified order or sequence.

Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) radio systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0038] Figure 1This diagram illustrates a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of this application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 can also be referred to as a terminal device or user equipment (UE). The terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, vehicle-mounted device (VUE), pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc. Wearable devices include wristbands, headphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific type of terminal 11. Network-side device 12 can be a base station or a core network.

The base station is not limited to the specified technical terms. It should be noted that in this application embodiment, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0039] In this application embodiment, when the first network may be unable to provide normal service during certain disaster events (such as fire, earthquake, tsunami, etc.), the terminal attempts to access other networks that support its access. This function is called the Minimization of Service Interruption (MINT) function, and the disaster event is called the disaster event corresponding to MINT.

[0040] When an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs, if the UE wants to access a second network to obtain services, the terminal performing the MINT function should determine the access identity and / or access category corresponding to this access, and / or the MINT access control information sent by the network, and perform access control.

[0041] Terminal Behavior: The first parameter in the terminal indicates the access identity corresponding to the MINT function. This first parameter is stored, for example, in a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) or in the terminal's non-volatile memory. Based on the terminal's configuration for the MINT function, one or more of the access identity, access category, and MINT access control information of the second network, the terminal checks whether it can access the second network.

[0042] Network-side device behavior: The network-side device can send access control information corresponding to the MINT function to the terminal, such as: the access category to be attempted when executing the MINT function as defined by the operator, and the access probability of executing the access category; if access is blocked due to the MINT function, how long the UE is expected to wait before retrying, etc.

[0043] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the methods, apparatus, devices, and readable storage media for terminal network access provided in this application, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0044] See Figure 2 This application provides a method for a terminal to access a network. The execution subject of this method can be a terminal, and the specific steps include: step 201.

[0045] Step 201: When an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs in the first network (such as a disaster event, such as a fire, earthquake, tsunami, etc.), access control is performed on the access request to the second network triggered by the MINT function.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, after step 201, the method further includes: if the second network allows the terminal to access, then initiating the access request to the second network; or, if the second network currently does not allow the terminal to access, then retrying to access the second network.

[0047] Optionally, the re-attempt to access the second network includes: determining access restriction conditions based on access control information of the second network; starting a timer based on the access restriction conditions; and re-attempting to access the second network after the timer expires.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, when an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs in the first network, the terminal will determine whether the second network allows it to access the network. This avoids a large number of terminals trying to access the second network at the same time, which could cause congestion in the second network.

[0049] See Figure 3 This application provides a method for a terminal to access a network. The subject of this method can be a terminal, and the specific steps include: step 301.

[0050] Step 301: When an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs in the first network, determine whether the second network allows the access request triggered by the MINT function of the terminal to access the second network based on the first information;

[0051] The first information includes one or more of the following:

[0052] (1) Configuration related to the MINT function of the terminal;

[0053] For example, access identifier, access category, etc.

[0054] (2) Access control information related to the MINT function of the second network.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, in step 301, based on the access identifier corresponding to the MINT function selected by the terminal and the access identifier corresponding to the MINT function of the second network received, it is determined whether the second network allows the access request triggered by the MINT function of the terminal to access the second network.

[0056] Optionally, before step 301, the method further includes: determining whether the second network supports the MINT function; if the second network supports the MINT function, then when attempting to access the second network, selecting the access identifier corresponding to the MINT function indicated by the second network (e.g., indicated by broadcast).

[0057] Optionally, determining whether the second network supports the MINT function includes: obtaining a list of functions supported by the second network; and determining whether the second network supports the MINT function based on the list of functions supported by the second network.

[0058] Optionally, the terminal's Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) or a reusable memory stores a first parameter, which indicates the access identifier corresponding to the MINT function.

[0059] In some other embodiments of this application, in step 301, based on the access category corresponding to the MINT function selected by the terminal and the access category corresponding to the MINT function of the second network, it is determined whether the second network allows the access request triggered by the MINT function of the terminal to access the second network.

[0060] Optionally, before step 301, the method may further include: obtaining the access category corresponding to the MINT function defined by the operator through the first network or the second network.

[0061] Optionally, before step 301, the method further includes:

[0062] Receive access control information related to the MINT function of the second network.

[0063] Optionally, the access control information includes one or more of the following:

[0064] (1) The access identity corresponding to the MINT function of the second network;

[0065] (2) The access category corresponding to the MINT function of the second network;

[0066] (3) The access probability corresponding to the access category and / or access identifier;

[0067] For example, the access probability corresponding to the network broadcast MINT access category is, for example, 0.9. The terminal locally generates a random number with a value between 0 and 1. If the random number is less than 0.9, access is allowed; otherwise, access is temporarily not allowed.

[0068] It is understood that the specific value of the access probability is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0069] (4) The first type of access request is not prohibited, and the first type of access request is triggered by the MINT function;

[0070] It can be further specified that the MINT function is triggered when accessing certain specific networks.

[0071] (5) Second type of access request that is not prohibited, which is triggered by the MINT function by users of certain networks (e.g., the first network); for example, the second network may indicate in a broadcast message that terminals of certain networks (e.g., the first network) can access the second network.

[0072] (6) Delayed third type of access request, the third type of access request being triggered by the MINT function or by a user of a specific network (such as the first network) due to the MINT function;

[0073] (7) Delay the access time.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, after step 301, the method further includes: if the second network allows the terminal to access, then initiating the access request to the second network; or, if the second network currently does not allow the terminal to access, then retrying to access the second network.

[0075] Optionally, the re-attempt to access the second network includes: determining access restriction conditions based on access control information of the second network; starting a timer based on the access restriction conditions; and re-attempting to access the second network after the timer expires.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the first network may be unable to provide normal service during certain disaster events (such as fire, earthquake, tsunami, etc.), and the terminal attempts to access the second network that supports its access, the system determines whether the second network allows the terminal to access based on the terminal's MINT function-related configuration and / or the access control information related to the second network's MINT function. This increases the probability of the terminal accessing the second network due to the MINT function and improves the efficiency of network access resource utilization when MINT-related events occur.

[0077] See Figure 4 This application provides a method for a terminal to access a network. The execution subject of this method is a network-side device, and the specific steps include: step 401.

[0078] Step 401: Send access control information related to the MINT function of the second network to the terminal;

[0079] The access control information related to the MINT function of the second network and / or the configuration related to the MINT function of the terminal are used to assist the terminal in performing access control on the access request to the second network triggered by the MINT function when an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs in the first network.

[0080] Optionally, the access control information includes one or more of the following:

[0081] (1) The access identifier corresponding to the MINT function of the second network;

[0082] (2) The access category corresponding to the MINT function of the second network;

[0083] (3) The access probability corresponding to the access category and / or access identifier;

[0084] (4) The first type of access request is not prohibited, and the first type of access request is triggered by the MINT function;

[0085] (5) Second type of access request that is not prohibited, which is triggered by a user of a specific network (such as the first network) due to the MINT function;

[0086] (6) Delayed third type of access request, the third type of access request being triggered by the MINT function or by a user of a specific network (such as the first network) due to the MINT function;

[0087] (7) Delay the access time.

[0088] In this embodiment, the network-side device sends access control information related to the MINT function of the second network to the terminal. When the first network may be unable to provide normal service during certain disaster events, and the terminal attempts to access the second network that supports its access, the device determines whether the second network allows the terminal to access based on the terminal's MINT function-related configuration and / or the access control information related to the MINT function of the second network. This increases the probability of the terminal accessing the second network due to the MINT function and improves the utilization efficiency of network access resources when MINT-related events occur.

[0089] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to Embodiments 1-5.

[0090] Example 1 - Access identity configuration information for adding MINT functionality to USIM:

[0091] See Figure 5a and Figure 5b The terminal can add access identity configuration information for the MINT function to the USIM file EFUAC_AIC. In the Unified Access Control Access Identity Configuration (UAC access identities configuration), the access identity information corresponding to the MINT function is indicated by the value of one or more bits (e.g., whether it is valid, and / or its value).

[0092] Example 2 - Access identity corresponding to the MINT function:

[0093] When an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs, and the terminal wants to attempt to access the second network to obtain services, the UE performing the MINT function selects the access identity to use when attempting to access the network.

[0094] It is understandable that the process of selecting the access identity used when attempting to access may be related to whether the second network supports the MINT function. For example, if the second network supports the MINT function, the access identity corresponding to the MINT function will be selected, and the access identity can be further notified to the access layer.

[0095] Table 1: Access identities.

[0096]

[0097] The UE can also determine whether to select the access identity corresponding to the MINT function when attempting to access the second network, based on whether the second network supports the MINT function. For example, it can read the list of functions supported by the second network from the signaling of the second network (e.g., 5GS network feature support IE).

[0098] If the second network does not support the MINT function, do not select the access identity corresponding to the MINT function when attempting to access the second network;

[0099] If the second network supports the MINT function, select the access identity corresponding to the MINT function when attempting to access the second network;

[0100] Here is an example of the access control check process related to access identity:

[0101] (1) After the UE performing the MINT function selects an access identity, it attempts to initiate a registration request, which triggers an access request;

[0102] (2) The terminal checks the access identity corresponding to the terminal performing the MINT function in the second network broadcast. If it finds that access is allowed, it initiates access. If it finds that the access identity has certain conditions (such as probability) restrictions, it performs access condition (such as probability) calculation. If the condition calculation result requires the access to be postponed, it starts a timer and tries to access again after the timeout. If the condition calculation result allows access, it initiates access.

[0103] For example, the signaling of the second network carries information about the second network's support for the MINT function: 5GS network feature support IE, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 The "MINT" in the text. For example, a 1-bit indicator shows whether the MINT function is supported; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 .

[0104] Example 3 - Standard access category corresponding to the MINT function:

[0105] The access category corresponding to the MINT function can include standard access categories, i.e., access categories that are unified across networks, and access categories defined by operators.

[0106] The terminal specifies the access category corresponding to MINT based on the standard access category and the access category defined by the operator, and then uses the access category to perform access barring check.

[0107] If the terminal attempts to access the network at the same time as the MINT function triggers, but there are other reasons for access, such as an emergency call, then the access category that has the highest probability of allowing the terminal to access the network will be selected for access barring check, taking into account all the reasons for access.

[0108] The network can send the access category, access identity, access probability information, delay time calculation and other parameter information corresponding to the access request related to the MINT function (see Table 2) to the terminal via air interface signaling.

[0109] Table 2

[0110]

[0111] Example of access control check process related to access category:

[0112] (1) After the UE performing the MINT function selects the access category, it attempts to initiate a registration request, which triggers an access request;

[0113] (2) The terminal checks the access category corresponding to the UE performing the MINT function in the second network broadcast. If it finds that access is allowed, it initiates access. If it finds that access to the access category has certain conditions (such as probability) restrictions, it performs access condition (such as probability) calculation. If the condition calculation result requires delaying access, it starts a timer and tries to access again after the timeout. If the condition calculation result allows access, it initiates access.

[0114] Example 4 - Access category of MINT defined by network notification operator.

[0115] The network can send the access category corresponding to the MINT function-related access request defined by the operator to the terminal via air interface signaling. For example:

[0116] The first network sends its own access category and / or that of other networks (such as the second network) to the terminal via signaling; or

[0117] The second network sends its own access category and / or other network (such as the first network) to the terminal via signaling.

[0118] When a terminal attempts to access a network using the MINT function, if the network operator has defined an access category for the terminal to use when attempting to access the network using the MINT function, then the terminal will use that access category to attempt to access the network.

[0119] For example, a network can indicate the operator-defined MINT access category in the operator-defined access category definitions (IE) element, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8 .

[0120] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 The Operator-defined access category definitions IE can be sent to the terminal in the NAS air interface message CONFIGURATION UPDATE COMMAND and the registration result (success or failure) message.

[0121] Example 5 - The access barring check process corresponding to the MINT function.

[0122] See Figure 11The specific steps include: Step 1101 to Step 1107.

[0123] Step 1101: When an event corresponding to the MINT function occurs in the first network, the UE decides to attempt access in the second network;

[0124] Step 1102: The second network, based on load, subscription, and other information, indicates access control information related to the MINT function in its air interface information. For example, it may not prohibit access requests triggered by the MINT function; or, it may not prohibit access requests triggered by the MINT function to users of certain designated networks (such as certain private networks or PLMNs with designated country codes); or, based on the current load and other conditions, it may decide whether and how to postpone access requests triggered by the MINT function by the UE, such as calculating the postponement time.

[0125] Step 1103: The UE receives MINT-related access control information from the second network, for example, the second network broadcasts MINT-related UAC information;

[0126] Step 1104: When the UE performs the MINT function, it selects the corresponding accessidentity and / or access category when attempting to access the second network;

[0127] Step 1105: The UE checks whether it can access the network based on the access identity, and / or access category, and / or the MINT-related access control information sent by the network air interface. If yes, proceed to step 1106; otherwise, proceed to step 1107.

[0128] Step 1106: Initiate an access request;

[0129] Step 1107: Start the timer and try to connect again after the timeout.
