[0067] Figure 7 This is a block diagram illustrating an access control method according to an exemplary embodiment; Detailed Implementation

[0068] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0069] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with those of this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0070] It should be noted that one embodiment of this disclosure may include multiple steps; for ease of description, these steps are numbered; however, these numbers are not a limitation on the execution time slots or execution order between the steps; these steps can be implemented in any order, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0071] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used only for the purpose of distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order. "Multiple" refers to two or more.

[0072] "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0073] To ensure that terminals comply with local telecommunications regulations, a software lock is used before issuing licenses to restrict the terminals to operating only on locally authorized spectrum. This results in various restricted terminals appearing on the market.

[0074] For example, the following terminals might exist in network A:

[0075] Terminals that only support the initial n77 frequency band (3700-3980MHz) are also known as traditional A terminals;

[0076] Terminals that support the n77 band (3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz) of extended spectrum are also known as the new A terminals;

[0077] Supports traditional global terminals and new global terminals in the 3300-4200MHz frequency band.

[0078] Accordingly, in country A, the following three types of networks will exist among the operators:

[0079] Networks that only support the initial n77 frequency band (3700-3980MHz) are also known as legacy networks;

[0080] Networks that only support the n77 band (3450-3550MHz) of extended spectrum are also called new networks;

[0081] Networks that support the n77 band (3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz) of extended spectrum are also known as new networks.

[0082] In Rel-16, a new network signaling value was defined for the spread spectrum of Country A. The new network notifies the terminal that the network supports the spread spectrum by issuing the new network signaling value through the System Information Block (SIB) to prevent traditional terminals from accessing the network. New terminal capabilities were also defined to allow new terminals to indicate that they are new terminals.

[0083] According to the current protocol, network signaling values ​​can only prevent traditional terminals from residing on the network, but cannot prohibit them from accessing the network. Traditional terminals can still read other SIB messages and perform same / different frequency measurements.

[0084] Therefore, when using existing mechanisms during random access, networks supporting extended spectrum cannot distinguish whether the accessing terminal supports the newly extended spectrum. In other words, the network cannot separately control and manage access for traditional terminals and new terminals. The new network can only prevent traditional terminals from accessing by issuing specific network signaling values ​​through SIB1.

[0085] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an access control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0086] Step 101: Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0087] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0088] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether a first type of user equipment (User Equipment) is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether a second type of User Equipment (User Equipment) is allowed to initiate access. Here, the first type of User Equipment is, for example, a traditional terminal, and the second type of User Equipment is, for example, a new terminal. The spectrum range supported by the second type of User Equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of User Equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of User Equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of User Equipment.

[0089] For example, the first frequency band is the n77 band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, the first type of user equipment is a traditional A terminal, and the second type of user equipment is a new A terminal. Of course, these examples are just examples, and the first frequency band could also be, for example, the n78 band.

[0090] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access. Specifically, the second type of access control parameter is at least one of the following:

[0091] The Type II access control parameters are used to indicate whether Type II user equipment is allowed to access the first frequency band;

[0092] The second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value, wherein the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value belongs to the second spectrum range set;

[0093] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a set frequency point in the second spectrum range set;

[0094] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a specified spectrum range in the second spectrum range set;

[0095] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the set frequency point belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band;

[0096] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band.

[0097] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges.

It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of User Equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of User Equipment.

[0131] In one embodiment, the first frequency band is the n77 band, the second frequency band is the n78 band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, and the third spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3300-3800MHz. The set frequency point 3700 is located in both the n77 and n78 bands. If the second type of user equipment supports access on both the n77 and n78 bands, the second-type access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the n77 band.

[0132] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0133] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0134] Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0135] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0136] Furthermore, in response to the second type of user equipment also supporting access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and setting a spectrum range that belongs to both the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, wherein the first frequency band is different from the second frequency band.

[0137] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether a first type of user equipment (User Equipment) is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether a second type of User Equipment (User Equipment) is allowed to initiate access. Specifically, if the second type of User Equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges within a second frequency band, and if a set spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameter indicates whether the second type of User Equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range while using the first frequency band. The spectrum range supported by the second type of User Equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of User Equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of User Equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of User Equipment.

[0138] In one embodiment, the first frequency band is the n77 band, the second frequency band is the n78 band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, and the third spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3300-3800MHz. The spectrum range of 3700-3800MHz is set to fall within both the n77 and n78 bands. If a second-type user equipment supports access on both the n77 and n78 bands, the second-type access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second-type user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the n77 band.

[0139] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0140] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0141] Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0142] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0143] Furthermore, the step of sending the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters to the user equipment includes:

[0144] Send a master information block and a system information block to the user equipment. The master information block includes a first part of the second type of access control parameters, and the system information block includes a second part of the second type of access control parameters.

[0145] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter to the user equipment. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The second type of user equipment supports a wider spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of user equipment supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0146] The first type of access control parameters are the existing access control parameters, and therefore they are still transmitted according to their original transmission method. The second type of access control parameters are newly introduced parameters used to indicate the access of second-type user equipment. Therefore, the network device sends a main information block and a system information block to the user equipment. The main information block includes the first part of the second type of access control parameters, and the system information block includes the second part of the second type of access control parameters.

[0147] For example, if only 1 bit of extension remains in the main information block, and this 1 bit is insufficient to send all Type II access control parameters, then a portion of the Type II access control parameters need to be sent in the system information block.

[0148] For example, the second type of access control parameter cellBarred-v17xy is sent in the main information block, and the second type of access control parameter intraFreqReselection-v17xy is sent in system information block 1. The parameter cellBarred-v17xy indicates whether access to the cell is permitted, and the parameter intraFreqReselection-v17xy indicates whether access to a neighboring cell on the same frequency is permitted. Therefore, these two parameters together can indicate whether access to the frequency point of the cell is permitted.

[0149] In one implementation, the network device blocks access for Type 1 user equipment by always setting the Type 1 access control parameter cellBarred to Barred and intraFreqReselection to notAllowed. Furthermore, the network device indicates whether Type 2 user equipment should access the network by sending the Type 2 access control parameters cellBarred-v17xy and intraFreqReselection-v17xy.

[0150] The following are examples of sending Type I and Type II access control parameters in the main information block and system information block 1:

[0151] MIB ::=SEQUENCE {

[0163] }

[0164] The specific description of the second type of access control parameters has been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0165] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0166] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0167] Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0168] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0169] Furthermore, the step of sending the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters to the user equipment includes:

[0170] A system information block is sent to the user equipment, the system information block including the second type of access control parameters.

[0171] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter to the user equipment. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The second type of user equipment supports a wider spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of user equipment supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0172] The first type of access control parameters are the existing access control parameters, and therefore they are still transmitted according to their original transmission method. The second type of access control parameters are newly introduced parameters used to indicate the access of second-type user equipment. Therefore, the network device sends a system information block to the user equipment, which includes the second type of access control parameters.

[0173] For example, in system information block 1, the second type of access control parameters intraFreqReselection-v17xy and uac-BarringInfo-v17xy are sent, where uac-BarringInfo-v17xy includes the parameters uac-BarringForCommon-v17xy, uac-BarringPerPLMN-List-v17xy, uac-BarringInfoSetList-v17xy, and uac-AC1-SelectAssistInfo-v17xy. For example, the parameter uac-BarringForCommon-v17xy is a parameter configured for each access type, and the parameter uac-BarringPerPLMN-List-v17xy is a parameter configured for each public land mobile network. The network can control access to the second type of user equipment either per-Access Category configuration or per-Public Land Mobile Network configuration.

[0174] In one embodiment, the network device prohibits access for first-type user equipment by setting the first-type access control parameter uac-BarringForCommon in system information block 1 and the first-type access control parameter intraFreqReselection in the main information block to notAllowed. The network device does not provide the parameters uac-BarringPerPLMN-List / uac-AccessCategory1-SelectionAssistanceInfo / uac-AC1-SelectAssistInfo-r16. Furthermore, the network device indicates whether second-type user equipment should access the network using second-type access control parameters, such as new UAC parameters. These UAC parameters include, for example, intraFreqReselection-v17xy and uac-BarringInfo-v17xy, where uac-BarringInfo-v17xy includes uac-BarringForCommon-v17xy, uac-BarringPerPLMN-List-v17xy, uac-BarringInfoSetList-v17xy, and uac-AC1-SelectAssistInfo-v17xy.

[0175] The following is an example of sending Type I and Type II access control parameters in System Information Block 1:

[0210] The specific description of the second type of access control parameters has been detailed in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here. In the above embodiments, based on the original first type of access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second type of access control parameters for the second type of user equipment are introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment supporting different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management separately for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0211] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0212] Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate that the first type of user equipment is prohibited from accessing the first spectrum range set, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0213] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0214] In one embodiment, the network device sends a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter indicates that the first type of user equipment (UE) is prohibited from accessing a first spectrum range set, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of UE to initiate access. The second type of UE supports a larger spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of UE supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of UE, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of UE.

[0215] Type I user equipment receives Type I access control parameters and determines whether to perform an access operation based on the received Type I access control parameters. Since the Type I access control parameters indicate that access to a first spectrum range set is prohibited, the network device prohibits the access operation of the Type I user equipment by sending the Type I access control parameters.

[0216] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0217] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a network device. The method includes:

[0218] Send a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0219] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0220] In one implementation, the second type of access control parameter is at least one of the following:

[0221] The Type II access control parameters are used to indicate whether Type II user equipment is allowed to access the first frequency band;

[0222] The second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value, wherein the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value belongs to the second spectrum range set;

[0223] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a set frequency point in the second spectrum range set;

[0224] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a specified spectrum range in the second spectrum range set;

[0225] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the set frequency point belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band;

[0226] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band.

[0227] And Type I access control parameters and Type II access control parameters can be sent to the user equipment in one of the following ways:

[0228] Send a master information block and a system information block to the user equipment, wherein the master information block includes a first part of the second type of access control parameters and the system information block includes a second part of the second type of access control parameters;

[0229] A system information block is sent to the user equipment, the system information block including the second type of access control parameters.

[0230] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0231] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating an access control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0232] Step 201: Receive a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0233] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0234] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Here, the first type of user equipment is, for example, a traditional terminal, and the second type of user equipment is, for example, a new terminal. The spectrum range supported by the second type of user equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of user equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is a parameter used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is a parameter used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0235] In one embodiment, a first-type user equipment can only receive first-type access control parameters, while a second-type user equipment can receive both first-type and second-type access control parameters. The first-type user equipment determines whether to perform an access operation based on the received first-type access control parameters. The second-type user equipment ignores the received first-type access control parameters and determines whether to perform an access operation based on the received second-type access control parameters.

[0236] For example, the first frequency band is the n77 band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, the first type of user equipment is a traditional A terminal, and the second type of user equipment is a new A terminal. Of course, these examples are just examples, and the first frequency band could also be, for example, the n78 band.

[0237] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Specifically, the second type of access control parameter is at least one of the following:

[0238] The Type II access control parameters are used to indicate whether Type II user equipment is allowed to access the first frequency band;

[0239] The second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value, wherein the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value belongs to the second spectrum range set;

[0240] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a set frequency point in the second spectrum range set;

[0241] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a specified spectrum range in the second spectrum range set;

[0242] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the set frequency point belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band;

[0243] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band.

[0244] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0247] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0248] Furthermore, the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the first frequency band.

[0249] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Specifically, it indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to access the first frequency band. The spectrum range supported by the second type of user equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of user equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0250] In one embodiment, the first frequency band is the n77 frequency band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, and the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the n77 frequency band.

[0251] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0252] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0254] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0255] Furthermore, the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value, wherein the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value belongs to the second spectrum range set.

[0256] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Specifically, it indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to access the spectrum range indicated by a set network signaling value.

[0265] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges.

The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0275] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0276] Furthermore, in response to the second type of user equipment also supporting access on a third spectrum range set in the second frequency band, and setting a frequency point that belongs to both the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the first frequency band, the first frequency band being different from the second frequency band.

[0277] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Specifically, if the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and if a set frequency point belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to access the set frequency point while using the first frequency band.

Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0280] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0281] Receive a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0282] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0283] Furthermore, in response to the second type of user equipment also supporting access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and setting a spectrum range that belongs to both the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, the first frequency band being different from the second frequency band.

[0284] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. Specifically, if the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and if a set spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to access the set spectrum range while using the first frequency band. The spectrum range supported by the second type of user equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of user equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0285] In one embodiment, the first frequency band is the n77 band, the second frequency band is the n78 band, the first spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3700-3980MHz, the second spectrum range set includes the spectrum ranges of 3450-3550MHz and 3700-3980MHz, and the third spectrum range set includes the spectrum range of 3300-3800MHz. The spectrum range of 3700-3800MHz is set to fall within both the n77 and n78 bands. If a second-type user equipment supports access on both the n77 and n78 bands, the second-type access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second-type user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the n77 band.

[0286] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0287] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0288] Receive a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0289] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0290] Furthermore, the receipt of the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters from the network device includes:

[0291] The system receives a master information block and a system information block from the network device. The master information block includes a first part of the second type of access control parameters, and the system information block includes a second part of the second type of access control parameters.

[0292] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The second type of user equipment supports a wider spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of user equipment supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0293] The first type of access control parameters are the original access control parameters, and therefore they are still transmitted according to their original transmission method. The second type of access control parameters are newly introduced parameters used to indicate the access of second-type user equipment. Therefore, the user equipment receives the main information block and system information block sent by the network device. The main information block includes the first part of the second type of access control parameters, and the system information block includes the second part of the second type of access control parameters.

[0294] For example, if only 1 bit of extension remains in the main information block, the network device cannot send all Type II access control parameters using this 1 bit, so it needs to send a portion of the Type II access control parameters in the system information block.

[0295] For example, the user equipment receives the second type of access control parameter cellBarred-v17xy in the main information block and the second type of access control parameter intraFreqReselection-v17xy in system information block 1. The cellBarred-v17xy parameter indicates whether access to the cell is permitted, and the intraFreqReselection-v17xy parameter indicates whether access to a neighboring cell on the same frequency is permitted. Therefore, these two parameters together indicate whether access to the frequency of the cell is permitted.

[0296] In one embodiment, after receiving the first type of access control parameters, the first type of user equipment determines not to perform an access operation based on the settings of the first access control parameters cellBarred and intraFreqReselection. After receiving the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters, the second type of user equipment ignores the first type of access control parameters cellBarred and intraFreqReselection, and determines whether to perform an access operation based on the second type of access control parameters cellBarred-v17xy and intraFreqReselection-v17xy.

[0297] The specific description of the second type of access control parameters has been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0298] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0299] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0300] Receive a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0301] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0302] Furthermore, the receipt of the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters from the network device includes:

[0303] Receive a system information block from the network device, the system information block including the second type of access control parameters.

[0304] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The second type of user equipment supports a wider spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of user equipment supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0305] The first type of access control parameters are the existing access control parameters, and therefore they are still transmitted according to their original transmission method. The second type of access control parameters are newly introduced parameters used to indicate the access of second-type user equipment. Therefore, the network device sends a system information block to the user equipment, which includes the second type of access control parameters.

[0306] For example, in system information block 1, the second type of access control parameters intraFreqReselection-v17xy and uac-BarringInfo-v17xy are sent, where uac-BarringInfo-v17xy includes the parameters uac-BarringForCommon-v17xy, uac-BarringPerPLMN-List-v17xy, uac-BarringInfoSetList-v17xy, and uac-AC1-SelectAssistInfo-v17xy. For example, the parameter uac-BarringForCommon-v17xy is a parameter configured for each access type, and the parameter uac-BarringPerPLMN-List-v17xy is a parameter configured for each public land mobile network. The network can control access to the second type of user equipment either per-Access Category configuration or per-Public Land Mobile Network configuration.

[0307] In one embodiment, after receiving the first type of access control parameters, the first type of user equipment determines not to perform an access operation based on the settings of the first access control parameters uac-BarringForCommon and intraFreqReselection. When the second type of user equipment receives the second type of access control parameter uac-BarringInfo-v17xy, it ignores the first type of access control parameter uac-BarringInfo; when it receives the second type of access control parameter intraFreqReselection-v17xy, it ignores the first type of access control parameter intraFreqReselection, and determines whether to perform an access operation based on the second type of access control parameters uac-BarringInfo-v17xy and intraFreqReselection-v17xy.

[0308] The specific description of the second type of access control parameters has been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0309] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0310] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0311] The system receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate that the first type of user equipment is prohibited from accessing the first spectrum range set, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0312] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a true sub-sub-of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0313] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates that the first type of user equipment is prohibited from accessing a first spectrum range set, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The spectrum range supported by the second type of user equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of user equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0314] Type I user equipment receives Type I access control parameters and determines whether to perform an access operation based on the received Type I access control parameters. Since the Type I access control parameters indicate that access to a first spectrum range set is prohibited, the network device prohibits the access operation of the Type I user equipment by sending the Type I access control parameters.

[0315] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0316] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0317] Receive a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0318] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges;

[0319] Furthermore, the user equipment mentioned herein is the second type of user equipment.

[0320] In one embodiment, the user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by the network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of user equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of user equipment to initiate access. The second type of user equipment supports a wider spectrum range in the first frequency band than the first type of user equipment supports in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of user equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of user equipment.

[0321] In one embodiment, the user equipment receiving the first type of access control parameters and the second type of access control parameters sent by the network device is a second type of user equipment. This is because a first type of user equipment can only receive the first type of access control parameters, and determines whether to perform an access operation solely based on the received first type of access control parameters. A second type of user equipment, however, can receive both the first and second type of access control parameters.

[0322] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0323] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an access control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0324] Step 301: The second type of user equipment receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter from the network device. The first type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the first type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to initiate access.

[0325] Step 302: The second type of user equipment ignores the received first type of access control parameters and determines whether to initiate access based on the second type of access control parameters;

[0326] Wherein, the first type of user equipment supports access on a first set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, and the second type of user equipment supports access on a second set of spectrum ranges in the first frequency band, wherein the first set of spectrum ranges is a proper subset of the second set of spectrum ranges.

[0327] In one embodiment, a second type of user equipment (User Equipment) receives a first type of access control parameter and a second type of access control parameter sent by a network device. The first type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the first type of User Equipment to initiate access, and the second type of access control parameter indicates whether to allow the second type of User Equipment to initiate access. The second type of User Equipment ignores the received first type of access control parameter and determines whether to initiate access based on the second type of access control parameter. The spectrum range supported by the second type of User Equipment in the first frequency band is greater than the spectrum range supported by the first type of User Equipment in the first frequency band. It can be understood that the first type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the first type of User Equipment, and the second type of access control parameter is used to control the access of the second type of User Equipment.

[0328] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.

[0329] This disclosure provides an access control method applied to a user equipment. The method includes:

[0333] The Type II access control parameters are used to indicate whether Type II user equipment is allowed to access the first frequency band;

[0334] The second type of access control parameter is used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value, wherein the spectrum range indicated by the set network signaling value belongs to the second spectrum range set;

[0335] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a set frequency point in the second spectrum range set;

[0336] The second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether a second type of user equipment is allowed to access a specified spectrum range in the second spectrum range set;

[0337] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the set frequency point belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set frequency point when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band;

[0338] In response to the fact that the second type of user equipment also supports access on a third set of spectrum ranges in the second frequency band, and that the spectrum range belongs to both the first and second frequency bands, the second type of access control parameters are used to indicate whether the second type of user equipment is allowed to access the set spectrum range when using the first frequency band, which is different from the second frequency band.

[0339] And it can receive Type I access control parameters and Type II access control parameters from network devices in one of the following ways:

[0340] The system receives a main information block and a system information block sent by a network device. The main information block includes a first part of the second type of access control parameters, and the system information block includes a second part of the second type of access control parameters.

[0341] The system information block sent by the network device is received, and the system information block includes the second type of access control parameters.

[0342] In the above implementation, based on the original first-type access control parameters for the first type of user equipment, a second-type access control parameter for the second type of user equipment is introduced. That is, different access control parameters are used to control the access of user equipment that supports different spectrum ranges. Thus, network devices can perform access control management for different types of user equipment during the random access process.
