[0050] Some technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be based on Figure 1 The system architecture shown or its variant architecture is used for specific implementation.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for user control under a shared carrier according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for implementing user control under a shared carrier on the base station side and the user terminal side.

[0052] The user control method under the shared carrier includes:

[0053] Step S210: In response to the carrier resource occupation of the shared carrier cell, a carrier aggregation control field corresponding to the operator network type is generated.

[0054] Step S220: encapsulate the carrier aggregation control field into a system message, and broadcast the system message in the shared carrier cell.

[0055] Step S230: The user terminal receives a system message broadcast by the shared carrier cell.

[0056] Step S240: selectively controlling the aggregated carrier access of a user terminal supporting carrier aggregation in a shared carrier cell according to the carrier aggregation control field carried in the system message.

[0057] These four steps are described in detail below.

[0058] In step S210, the shared carrier cell is a cell in which the shared carrier function is enabled under the base station and different operators jointly build a shared cell carrier. Therefore, in the shared carrier cell, different operators will use the same cell-level characteristics, and only some parameters are personalized according to the operator network type. In essence, for the shared carrier cell, only the base station is shared, and the core network is not shared. The terminals corresponding to each operator network type all access the corresponding core network through the shared base station, that is, the aggregated carrier provided by the shared carrier cell.

[0059] The carrier resources provided by the shared carrier cell, for the aggregated carrier accessed by the user terminal, one carrier will participate in aggregation as a component carrier, so that the user terminal supporting the aggregated carrier can perform services under the aggregated carrier.

[0060] Any user terminal supporting aggregated carriers will occupy carrier resources to transmit data on the aggregated carriers. To avoid excessive occupancy of carrier resources by user terminals, a carrier aggregation control field corresponding to the operator network type will be generated in response to the carrier resource occupancy of the shared carrier cell.

[0061] First of all, it should be explained that the operator network type is used to identify the operator network used by the user terminal. In terms of data, it can exist in the form of the operator's PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network). In a shared carrier cell, different operators share infrastructure or network equipment, so that user terminals from different operators are connected to the corresponding operator core network node through the wireless network provided by the shared infrastructure or network equipment, such as base stations.

[0062] In order to dynamically respond to the carrier resource occupancy or even over-occupancy of the shared carrier cell, different carrier aggregation control fields are generated for different operator network types. The carrier aggregation control field is used to provide access control of aggregated carriers to user terminals of the applicable operator network type, and even activation control of auxiliary cells, thereby realizing user terminal management and control of shared carrier cells and allocation of carrier resources under the action of the carrier aggregation control field, providing effective control over operator network sharing and improving the utilization of carrier resources.

[0063] In one embodiment, the carrier aggregation control field includes a user access control field, and the step S210 of generating the carrier aggregation control field corresponding to the operator network type in response to the carrier resource occupancy of the shared carrier cell includes:

[0064] The real-time occupancy status of the shared carrier by the user terminal in the shared carrier cell is sensed, and a user access control field adapted to the operator network type is generated. The user access control field is used to allow or deny user terminals of the corresponding operator network type to access the aggregated carrier of the shared carrier cell.

[0065] The occupancy of the shared carrier by the user terminal in the shared carrier cell will be sensed and fed back in real time to generate the corresponding user access control field. The user access control field is generated for the same operator network type, so that the user terminals under different operator network types can be controlled.

[0066] Specifically, as mentioned above, for shared carrier cells, they are jointly built and shared by different operators. Therefore, there are sharing parties among multiple operators. For the sharing parties, the carrier aggregation control field, i.e., the user access control field, is formulated according to the corresponding operator network type to control the access of the sharing party user terminal.

[0067] For example, the user access control fields defined for different operator network types are different. The user access control field of the operator network type corresponding to the sharing party is the "CASharedBarred" field, which uses 1 bit of data to indicate whether to allow or deny access to the sharing party user terminal, where "1" in the "CASharedBarred" field indicates that the sharing party user terminal access is denied, and "0" indicates that the sharing party user terminal access is allowed. The user access control field of the operator network type corresponding to the bearer is the "CABarred" field, and the "CABarred" field uses 1 bit of data to indicate whether to allow or deny access to the user terminal, where "1" in the "CABarred" field indicates that the user terminal access is denied, and "0" indicates that the user terminal access is allowed.

[0068] Therefore, under the function of the user access control field, access control of the aggregated carrier can be performed on different types of user terminals, and then cell blocking can be performed for specific operators, thereby realizing flexible and dynamic configuration of sharing strategies for operators.

[0069] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of generating a carrier aggregation control field corresponding to an operator network type according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, the carrier aggregation control field including a secondary cell activation field, and the embodiment of the present disclosure provides step S210 of generating a carrier aggregation control field corresponding to an operator network type in response to carrier resource occupancy of a shared carrier cell.

[0070] The step S210 includes:

[0071] Step S211, in response to the carrier resource occupation of the shared carrier cell, the adapted operator network type generates a secondary cell adding instruction for the corresponding user terminal, the secondary cell adding instruction is used to indicate whether to add a secondary cell for the user terminal of the adapted operator network terminal type.

[0072] Step S212: Generate a secondary cell activation field corresponding to the adapted operator network type according to the secondary cell adding instruction, where the secondary cell activation field is used to indicate whether to allow or prohibit the user terminal from activating the secondary cell.

[0073] These steps are described in detail below.

[0074] In step S211, in a shared carrier cell, several carriers work together, cooperate with each other, and participate in aggregation to form an aggregated carrier for user terminals to access. Therefore, it can be understood that these carriers are divided into primary and secondary carriers, including primary carriers and secondary carriers, that is, the carrier from the secondary cell is the secondary carrier.

[0075] That is to say, during the carrier aggregation process, the user terminal can send and receive data through multiple cells, including one or more secondary cells. The secondary cell will provide additional carrier resources for the data transmission of the user terminal, and the activated secondary cell will participate in the data transmission, that is, the user terminal will send and receive data through the activated secondary cell.

[0076] Based on this, during the carrier aggregation process, the base station can flexibly control the secondary cell of the user terminal to be in an activated state according to the actual situation, thereby effectively utilizing the carrier resources. Therefore, according to the carrier resource occupancy of the shared carrier cell, a secondary cell addition instruction will be generated for the user terminal corresponding to the network type of different operators to control the secondary cell addition of the user terminal.

[0077] The carrier aggregation control field includes a secondary cell activation field, which is generated according to a secondary cell addition instruction. When a secondary cell needs to be added to a user terminal corresponding to an operator's network type, the corresponding secondary cell activation field is generated through the secondary cell addition instruction. For the user terminal, the activation of its secondary cell can be controlled according to the secondary cell activation field.

[0078] For different operator network types, corresponding secondary cell activation fields are generated. In other words, the shared user terminals of the shared carrier cell are distinguished to generate corresponding secondary cell activation fields to control the user terminals of the shared carrier cell and the activation of their respective secondary cells by the shared user terminals.

[0079] For example, for the user terminal of the shared carrier cell, the secondary cell activation field generated is the "CAActivated" field. If the "CAActivated" field is "0", it means that the user terminal is allowed to activate the secondary cell. If the "CAActivated" field is "1", it means "user terminal secondary cell activation is prohibited"; for the sharing party user terminal, the secondary cell activation field generated is the "CASharedActiveated" field. If the "CASharedActiveated" field is "0", it means "sharing party user terminal secondary cell activation is allowed". If the "CASharedActiveated" field is "1", it means that the sharing party user terminal is prohibited from activation.

[0080] Thus, by controlling the secondary cell activation field, carrier resources can be used more effectively, and to a certain extent, the activation of the secondary cell saves the power consumption of the user terminal and improves the system throughput.

[0081] In step S220, for the carrier aggregation control field generated in response to the carrier resource occupancy of the shared carrier cell, as pointed out in the above description, for each operator network type, there is a corresponding carrier aggregation control field, and the carrier aggregation control field is encapsulated in the system message.

[0082] The system message encapsulating the carrier aggregation control field is a broadcast message of the shared carrier cell. Exemplarily, it may be a SIB1 system message of the shared carrier cell.

[0083] The base station of the shared carrier cell encapsulates the generated carrier aggregation control field into a system message and performs network broadcast in the shared carrier cell.

[0084] So far, the system message is broadcasting the operator network type on the one hand, so as to control the user terminal to access the corresponding operator core network; on the other hand, it is also broadcasting the carrier aggregation control field.

[0085] For the broadcast of the carrier aggregation control field achieved through the system message, there is a corresponding carrier aggregation control field for each operator network type in the system message. The user terminal that receives the broadcast system message can obtain the applicable carrier aggregation control field from the system message regardless of the operator network type it corresponds to.

[0086] Therefore, as described in step S230, the user terminal of the shared carrier cell will receive the broadcasted system message.

[0087] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flowchart of the steps of encapsulating the carrier aggregation control field in a system message and broadcasting the system message in a shared carrier cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method implementation of step S220.

[0088] The step S220 includes:

[0089] Step S221, for the SIB1 system message of the shared carrier cell, write the carrier aggregation control field according to the operator network type broadcast in the SIB1 system message.

[0090] Step S222: In the shared carrier cell SIB1 system message, a carrier aggregation control field is sent to the user terminal by broadcasting the SIB1 system message.

[0091] These steps are described in detail below.

[0092] In step S221, the system message includes the SIB1 system message. The SIB1 system message carries the scheduling for allowing the user terminal to access the network and other system information, and provides the user terminal with carrier resource information and information required for restricting unified access control. Therefore, the SIB1 system message will be used to broadcast the carrier aggregation control field, thereby realizing the carrier access control of the user terminal.

[0093] For this SIB1 system message, a carrier aggregation control field is defined and written, so that the SIB1 system message sends the carrier aggregation control field to all user terminals through the network broadcast performed by itself.

[0094] In step S222, the base station of the shared carrier cell broadcasts the SIB1 system message, so that all user terminals in the shared carrier cell, not limited to user terminals supporting carrier aggregation, receive the written carrier aggregation control field.

[0095] For the SIB1 system message, in addition to the carrier aggregation control field, it also carries the operator PLMN, which indicates the operator network type and further controls the access of the core network corresponding to the user terminal. The operator PLMN forwards the transmitted data to the corresponding core network site.

[0096] In step S240, it should be noted first that among the numerous user terminals in the shared carrier cell, only the user terminals that support carrier aggregation control the aggregated carrier access performed by themselves through the carrier aggregation control field carried by the system message (CA user terminal), so as to access the aggregated carrier for data transmission, or prevent access to the aggregated carrier.

[0097] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flowchart of the steps of selectively controlling the aggregated carrier access of a user terminal supporting carrier aggregation in a shared carrier cell according to the carrier aggregation control field carried by a system message is shown. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides step S240 of selectively controlling the aggregated carrier access of a user terminal supporting carrier aggregation in a shared carrier cell according to the carrier aggregation control field carried by a system message.

[0098] The step S240 includes:

[0099] Step S241, the user terminal supporting carrier aggregation parses the system message to obtain the carrier aggregation control field corresponding to the adapted operator network type.

[0100] Step S242: According to the access control field included in the carrier aggregation control field, the user terminal is controlled to access the aggregated carrier of the shared carrier cell, or the user terminal is prevented from accessing the aggregated carrier of the shared carrier cell.

[0101] Among the many user terminals in the shared carrier cell, the user terminal supporting carrier aggregation will parse the system message, and for the fields obtained by the parsing, the corresponding carrier aggregation control field will be extracted according to the operator network type corresponding to the user terminal itself.

[0102] The obtained carrier aggregation control field includes a user access control field, so as to control the aggregated carrier access of the user terminal according to the operator network type.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 according to Figure 5 The corresponding embodiment shows a flowchart of the steps of selectively controlling the aggregated carrier access of a user terminal supporting carrier aggregation in a shared carrier cell according to the carrier aggregation control field carried by the system message. After executing step S242, step S240 also includes:

[0104] In step S243, after the user terminal accesses the aggregated carrier of the shared carrier cell, the secondary cell of the user terminal is activated according to the secondary cell activation field included in the carrier aggregation control field.

[0105] In step S244, the user terminal communicates on multiple carriers aggregated by the carriers of the secondary cell.

[0106] Among them, in the shared carrier cell, for the user terminal accessing the aggregated carrier, one or more secondary cells will be activated under the control of the secondary cell activation field, so as to provide additional carrier resources for its own communication.

[0107] So far, through the embodiments described above, the access of user terminals supporting aggregated carriers and the control of secondary cell activation are implemented, and user terminal management and control and resource balancing are well achieved.

[0108] By intelligently and customizedally controlling the user terminals in each shared carrier cell as described above, when a large amount of carrier resources are occupied, user terminal access can be dynamically controlled between operators to ensure that carrier resources are not over-occupied, thereby reducing the impact on services when carrier resources in shared carrier cells are limited.
