Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a terminal access method, apparatus, storage medium and terminal. Background Technology

[0002] In mobile communication systems, base stations need to switch the access cell of terminals due to reasons such as excessive load. For example, 5G base stations redirect terminals from SA (standalone) cells to LTE (Long Term Evolution) cells through inter-system interoperation.

[0003] In related technologies, when a base station determines that a terminal needs to be redirected, it sends a measurement event to the terminal. The terminal performs measurements based on the measurement event and reports a measurement report to the base station. The base station then informs the terminal of the configuration information of the network to be redirected based on the measurement report. The terminal searches for and camps on the network based on this configuration information. During the redirection process, the terminal may not have the conditions to access the redirected network. In this case, although the terminal fails to access the redirected network, the base station will continue to send measurement events to the terminal, and the terminal will frequently perform measurements and report measurement reports, resulting in relatively high power consumption for the terminal.

In other words, when the terminal of this disclosure receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device of the first network and determines that the serving network of the target cell to be measured is the second network, it can first determine whether the terminal can access the second network. If it is determined that the terminal cannot access the second network, it stops measuring the target cell and no longer reports the measurement results to the network device. In this way, if the network device does not receive the measurement results reported by the terminal, the terminal can continue to reside on the current network device, avoiding the terminal from frequently performing measurements and reporting measurement results when it cannot access the second network, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0051] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Figure 7 This is a block diagram illustrating a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0060] 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 this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0061] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this application are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the application is located, and with the authorization granted by the owner of the relevant device.

[0062] First, the application scenarios of this disclosure are explained. This disclosure can be applied to network redirection scenarios. Taking the redirection of a terminal from an SA cell to an LTE cell by a 5G base station as an example, before registering with the SA cell, if the terminal determines that it cannot access the LTE network, it will set the S1 mode of the terminal to 0, indicating that the terminal's LTE capability is temporarily disabled. After the terminal registers with the SA cell, the terminal reports capability information to the core network, indicating that the terminal does not support LTE core network capabilities. However, the 5G base station still believes that the terminal supports LTE core network capabilities and sends measurement events to the terminal. If a target cell that meets the conditions exists in the measurement report reported by the terminal, the 5G base station sends an LTE handover request to the core network element. The core network element, knowing that the terminal does not support LTE core network capabilities, rejects the LTE handover request. After receiving the rejection request, the 5G base station will continue to send measurement events to the terminal, and the terminal will also frequently perform measurements and report measurement reports, resulting in high power consumption of the terminal and affecting the terminal's normal services.

[0063] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this disclosure provides a terminal access method, apparatus, storage medium, and terminal. When a terminal receives measurement configuration information from a network device of a first network and determines that the serving network of the target cell to be measured is a second network, it can first determine if the terminal can access the second network. If it determines that the terminal cannot access the second network, it stops measuring the target cell and ceases reporting measurement results to the network device. Thus, if the network device does not receive measurement results reported by the terminal, the terminal can remain on the network device, avoiding frequent measurements and reporting of results when it cannot access the second network, thereby reducing the terminal's power consumption.

[0064] The present disclosure will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0065] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a terminal access method according to an exemplary embodiment. The method is applied to a terminal, which may be a terminal supporting the first network and the second network, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0066] S101. In response to the triggered network access request, send a network registration request to the network device of the first network.

[0067] The first network can be an NR (New Radio) network, and the network equipment can be an SA base station.

[0068] In this step, the user can trigger the network access request by restarting the terminal or turning off airplane mode, or by moving the terminal from a signalless area to a signaled area. This disclosure does not limit the method of triggering the network access request. The terminal can then send a network registration request to the network device based on the network access request.

[0069] S102. Receive the measurement configuration information sent by the network device according to the network registration request.

[0070] This measurement configuration information can be used to measure the target cell.

[0071] In this step, after the network device receives the network registration request from the terminal, if it determines that the terminal needs to be switched to the second network, the network device corresponding to the first network can send the measurement configuration information to the terminal via RRCReconfiguration based on the network registration request. This measurement configuration information can be configuration information for either B1 or B2 events.

[0072] S103. If it is determined that the serving network of the target cell is the second network and the terminal cannot access the second network, the measurement of the target cell shall be stopped so that the network device controls the terminal to camp on the network device if the measurement result is not received.

[0073] The second network is different from the first network. If the first network is an NR network, then the second network can be an LTE network.

[0074] In this step, if the serving network of the target cell for the measurement configuration information is determined to be the second network, but the terminal cannot access the second network, in order to prevent the network device from continuously sending the measurement configuration information to the terminal, the terminal can delete the measurement configuration information to stop measuring the target cell. Without receiving measurement results, the terminal will not send measurement results to the network device. If the network device does not receive measurement results from the terminal, it will not switch the terminal to another network, and the terminal can continue to reside on the network device corresponding to the first network.

[0075] Using the above method, when the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device of the first network and determines that the serving network of the target cell to be measured is the second network, it can first determine that the terminal can access the second network. If it is determined that the terminal cannot access the second network, it stops measuring the target cell and no longer reports the measurement results to the network device. In this way, if the network device does not receive the measurement results reported by the terminal, the terminal can remain on the network device, avoiding the terminal from frequently performing measurements and reporting measurement results when it cannot access the second network, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0076] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another terminal access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method may further include:

[0077] S104. If it is determined that the terminal can access the second network, the target cell is measured to obtain the measurement results.

[0078] In this step, after the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, it can determine the serving network of the target cell. For example, if the measurement configuration information is the configuration information of B1 event or B2 event, it can first determine the frequency point of the measurement object identifier (MeasObject) corresponding to the measurement index (MeasId) of the measurement configuration information, and then determine whether the serving network of the target cell to be measured is the second network based on the frequency point of the measurement object identifier.

[0079] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the frequency point corresponding to the target cell belongs to the frequency point range corresponding to the second network, the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is determined to be the second network.

[0080] If the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is determined to be the second network, it can be determined whether the terminal can access the second network. In one possible implementation, the historical access status of the terminal accessing the second network, which includes an access status and an inaccessible status, can be obtained from pre-stored data. If the historical access status is determined to be the access status, it is determined that the terminal can access the second network. For example, the historical access status can be determined based on the terminal's S1 mode value. If the S1 mode value is 0, it indicates that the historical access status is an inaccessible status, and the terminal cannot access the second network. If the S1 mode value is non-zero, it indicates that the historical access status is an access status, and the terminal can access the second network.

[0081] If it is determined that the terminal can access the second network, the target cell can be measured according to the measurement configuration information to obtain the measurement results.

[0082] The historical access status can be determined based on the terminal's previous access to the second network. If the number of consecutive failed attempts to access the second network is less than a preset threshold, the historical access status is determined to be the access status; if the number of consecutive failed attempts to access the second network is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the historical access status is determined to be the non-access status. The preset threshold can be determined based on the protocol related to the second network. For example, if the second network is LTE, the preset threshold could be 5.

[0083] For example, if the terminal's five consecutive TAU (Tracking Area Update) requests are rejected before it accesses the network device, the terminal can set the S1mode value to 0, thus setting the historical access load to an unaccessed state.

[0084] When the terminal sets the historical access state to the non-access state, the duration of the non-access state can be set. For example, the duration of the non-access state can be set to 1 minute. After the terminal sets the S1 mode value to 0, it uses a timer to keep track of the time. After the timer reaches 1 minute, the S1 mode value is set to a non-zero value, which means the historical access state is switched to the access state.

[0085] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is the second network, and it is determined that the terminal cannot access the second network, the duration of the historical access state as the non-access state is determined; if the duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold, the historical access state is switched to the access state; and the network registration request is sent to the network device.

[0086] For example, if the terminal determines that the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is the second network, and determines that the terminal cannot access the second network, it can determine the duration for which the S1 mode value is set to 0, that is, the duration for which the historical access state is set to the inaccessible state. If the duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the S1 mode value can be set to a non-zero value, that is, the historical access state can be switched to the access state. After the historical state is switched to the access state, it means that the terminal can access the second network. In this case, the terminal can resend the network registration request to the network device.

[0087] S105. Send the measurement result to the network device.

[0088] The measurement results can be used by the network device to control the terminal's access to the target cell.

[0089] In this step, after the terminal obtains the measurement results for the target cell, it sends the measurement results to the network device. Upon receiving the measurement results, the network device can determine whether to allow the terminal to access the target cell based on the measurement results. For example, if the network device determines that the target cell meets the preset access conditions based on the measurement results, it can send the target standard and target frequency to the terminal. The terminal can then search for the target cell based on the target standard and target frequency. After finding the target cell, the terminal can access and camp on the target cell. If the network device determines that the target cell does not meet the preset access conditions based on the measurement results, it can control the terminal to camp on the network device.

[0090] Using the above method, when the terminal can access the second network, it can measure the target cell and report the measurement results to the network device. In this way, the network device can control the terminal to access the target cell based on the measurement results.

[0091] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another terminal access method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method may further include:

[0092] S107. In response to the detection of a stop access request, stop measuring the target cell.

[0093] In this step, if the user turns off the terminal, turns on airplane mode, or enters a network-free area before or during the measurement of the target cell, triggering the stop access request, the terminal can stop measuring the target cell.

[0094] It should be noted that if the terminal has already measured the target cell and obtained the measurement results after the user triggers the stop access request, the terminal can stop reporting the measurement results to the network device.

[0095] Using the above method, measurements can be stopped or reported when the user does not need the terminal to access the network, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0099] The dwell module 403 is configured to stop measuring the target cell when it is determined that the serving network of the target cell is the second network and the terminal cannot access the second network, so that the network device controls the terminal to dwell on the network device when no measurement results are received.

[0105] If the historical access state is determined to be the access state, it is determined that the terminal can access the second network.

[0106] Optionally, this historical access status can be predetermined in the following way:

[0107] If the number of consecutive failures for the terminal to access the second network is less than a preset threshold, the historical access state is determined as the current access state.

[0108] If the number of consecutive failures for the terminal to access the second network is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the historical access status is determined to be the non-access status.

[0109] Optionally, Figure 6 This is a block diagram illustrating another terminal access device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device also includes:

[0110] The duration determination module 406 is configured to determine the duration of the historical access state as the non-access state when it is determined that the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is the second network and the terminal cannot access the second network.

[0112] The first sending module 401 is also configured to send the network registration request to the network device.

[0113] Optionally, the measurement module 403 is also configured to:

[0114] If it is determined that the frequency point corresponding to the target cell belongs to the frequency point range corresponding to the second network, the serving network of the target cell corresponding to the measurement configuration information is determined to be the second network.

[0115] Optionally, the stop module 405 is also configured to stop measuring the target cell in response to detecting a stop access request.

[0116] With the above-described device, when the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device of the first network and determines that the serving network of the target cell to be measured is the second network, it can first determine that the terminal can access the second network. If it is determined that the terminal cannot access the second network, it stops measuring the target cell and no longer reports the measurement results to the network device. In this way, if the network device does not receive the measurement results reported by the terminal, the terminal can reside on the network device, avoiding the terminal from frequently performing measurements and reporting measurement results when it cannot access the second network, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.
