[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to network deployment methods, apparatus and systems, and computer-storable media for 5G NR networks. Background Technology

[0002] In 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) scenarios, non-public networks (NPNs) can provide dedicated access networks for vertical industries, ensuring exclusive access to resources for these customers. NPNs can control access through Closed Access Group (CAG) cells, while public networks can control access through Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) cells. However, the deployment of CAG and PLMN cells in 5G NR (New Radio) networks remains unresolved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this disclosure proposes a solution that allows the deployment of CAG cells and PLMN cells in 5G NR networks, providing diversified network services to 5G NR network users.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a network deployment method for a 5G New Radio (NR) network is provided, comprising: determining, based on the network characteristics of the 5G NR network, a network deployment method for deploying Closed Access Group (CAG) cells and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) cells in the 5G NR network, that is, deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier; generating and sending configuration information including the network deployment method to a base station, so that the base station deploys CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network according to the network deployment method.

[0006] In some embodiments, the network characteristics include at least one of network type, network location, network user density, and the availability of network wireless resources.

[0007] In some embodiments, determining the network deployment method for deploying Closed Access Group (CAG) cells and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) cells in the 5G NR network as either deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier includes: when the 5G NR network type is a private network, the network location is a suburban factory area, the network user density is less than a density threshold, and the available amount of network radio resources is greater than an available amount threshold, the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers.

[0008] In some embodiments, determining the network deployment method for deploying Closed Access Group (CAG) cells and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) cells in the 5G NR network as either deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier includes: when the network type of the 5G NR network is a non-private network, the network location is not a suburban factory area, the network user density is greater than or equal to a density threshold, and the available amount of network radio resources is less than or equal to an available amount threshold, the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier.

If the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier, and the difference in data transmission volume of network users in the 5G NR network at different times exceeds a preset threshold, then the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier with overlapping and shared dedicated partial bandwidth (BWP). If the difference in data transmission volume of network users in the 5G NR network at different times is less than or equal to a preset threshold, then the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier with non-overlapping and shared dedicated BWP.

[0026] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0027] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this disclosure or its application or use.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a network deployment method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1, the network deployment method for a 5G NR network includes: Step S10, determining the network deployment method for deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network based on the network characteristics of the 5G NR network, either deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier; Step S20, generating configuration information including the network deployment method; and Step S30, sending the configuration information including the network deployment method to the base station, so that the base station can deploy CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network according to the network deployment method. For example, the network deployment method is executed by an OAM (Operation Administration and Maintenance) system.

[0034] In step S10, based on the network characteristics of the 5G NR network, the network deployment method for deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network is determined to be either deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier.

[0035] In some embodiments, network characteristics of a 5G NR network include at least one of network type, network location, network user density, and the availability of network radio resources (carrier resources). Network type includes private networks and non-private networks. Network location characterizes the coverage area of ​​the 5G NR network. Network location includes, for example, suburban factory areas and non-suburban factory areas (e.g., urban areas). Network user density reflects the intensity of communication demand; the higher the network user density, the more intense the communication demand. For example, network user density can be determined by the ratio of the number of network users within the coverage area of ​​the 5G NR network to the coverage area.

[0036] In some embodiments, when the 5G NR network is a private network, located in a suburban factory area, has a network user density less than a density threshold, and has a network radio resource availability greater than an availability threshold, the network deployment method is determined to be to deploy CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers. For example, the density threshold can be dynamically set according to actual conditions.

[0037] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating the deployment of CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the CAG cell is deployed on carrier 1, and the PLMN cell is deployed on carrier 2. Carrier 1 and carrier 2 occupy different frequency bands. Figure 2 This is merely an example; those skilled in the art can customize it according to their specific circumstances.

[0039] For example, for a given CAG user equipment (UE), the UE uses cell subscription information (representing user privileges) to access the CAG cell deployed on carrier 1. On carrier 1, CAG SSB 1 (SingleSide Band) is deployed, occupying a portion of carrier 1's bandwidth to carry system configuration information (system messages) such as RMSI (Remaining Minimum System Information). Additionally, on carrier 1, an initial BWP (Bandwidth Part) 1 is also deployed. This initial BWP 1 occupies the same bandwidth as CAG SSB 1 on carrier 1 and is used to receive system messages from CAG SSB 1. Furthermore, on carrier 1, a dedicated BWP 1 is also deployed, occupying the entire frequency band of carrier 1 for transmitting the CAG user equipment's service data.

[0040] For example, for a given PLMN user terminal, it uses cell subscription information (representing user permissions) to access the PLMN cell deployed on carrier 2. On carrier 2, a PLMN SSB 2 (Single Sideband) is deployed, occupying a portion of carrier 2's bandwidth to carry system configuration information (system messages) such as RMSI (Remaining Minimum System Information). Additionally, an Initial BWP 2 is deployed on carrier 2, occupying the same bandwidth as the PLMN SSB 2, and is used to receive system messages from the PLMN SSB 2. Furthermore, a dedicated BWP 2 is also deployed on carrier 2, occupying the entire frequency band of carrier 2 for transmitting the PLMN user terminal's service data.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the 5G NR network type is a non-private network, the network location is a non-suburban factory area, the network user density is greater than or equal to the density threshold, and the available amount of network radio resources is less than or equal to the available amount threshold, the network deployment method is determined to be to deploy CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier.

[0042] In some embodiments, network characteristics also include information on network user data transmission volume (service data). If the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier, and the difference in data transmission volume between network users in the 5G NR network exceeds a preset threshold at different times, then the network deployment method is determined to be deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier with overlapping and shared dedicated BWPs. If the difference in data transmission volume between network users in the 5G NR network exceeds the preset threshold, the data transmission volume of network users is unstable, and therefore, it is necessary to flexibly configure the dedicated BWP for data transmission.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating that, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, CAG cells and PLMN cells are deployed on the same carrier and shared by overlapping dedicated BWPs. Figure 3 This is merely an example; those skilled in the art can customize it according to their specific circumstances.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the CAG cell and PLMN cell are deployed on carrier 3. That is, the CAG cell and PLMN cell share carrier 3. CAG UE and PLMN UE can access their respective CAG cell and PLMN cell.

[0045] For example, for a CAG user terminal, the terminal accesses a CAG cell deployed on carrier 3 using cell subscription information. CAG SSB3 is deployed on carrier 3, occupying a portion of its bandwidth to carry system configuration information such as RMSI. Additionally, an initial BWP 31 is deployed on carrier 3, occupying the same bandwidth as CAG SSB 3, and is used to receive system messages from CAG SSB 3. Furthermore, dedicated BWP 31 and dedicated BWP 32 are also deployed on carrier 3, sharing the entire frequency band of carrier 3 for transmitting CAG user terminal service data.

[0046] For example, for a PLMN user terminal, this PLMN user terminal uses cell subscription information to access the PLMN cell deployed on carrier 3. On carrier 3, PLMN SSB 3 is deployed, occupying a portion of the carrier's bandwidth to carry system configuration information such as RMSI. PLMN SSB 3 and CAG SSB 3 occupy different frequency bands on carrier 3. Additionally, on carrier 3, initial BWP 32 is also deployed. This initial BWP 32 occupies the same bandwidth frequency band as PLMN SSB 3 on carrier 3 and is used to receive system messages from PLMN SSB 3. Initial BWP 32 and initial BWP 31 occupy different frequency bands on carrier 3. Furthermore, on carrier 3, dedicated BWP 31 and dedicated BWP 32 can also be used to transmit service data from the PLMN user terminal.

[0047] from Figure 3 It can be seen that CAG cells and PLMN cells not only share carrier 3, but also deploy SSB and initial BWP separately for CAG user terminals and PLMN user terminals, respectively. The dedicated BWPs for the two occupy the same frequency band of carrier 3, that is, the dedicated BWPs overlap and share the same frequency.

[0048] When the difference in data transmission volume between network users in a 5G NR network is less than or equal to a preset threshold at different times, the network deployment method is determined to be to deploy CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier and to share dedicated BWPs without overlap.

[0049] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating that, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, CAG cells and PLMN cells are deployed on the same carrier and shared by dedicated BWPs without overlap. Figure 4 This is merely an example; those skilled in the art can customize it according to their specific circumstances.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the CAG cell and PLMN cell are deployed on carrier 4. That is, the CAG cell and PLMN cell share carrier 4, but occupy different frequency bands within carrier 4. CAG UEs and PLMN UEs can access their respective CAG cells and PLMN cells. This approach facilitates efficient use of carrier resources.

[0051] For example, a CAG user terminal accesses a CAG cell deployed on carrier 4 using cell subscription information. CAG SSB4 is deployed on carrier 4, occupying a portion of its bandwidth to carry system configuration information such as RMSI. Additionally, an initial BWP 41 is deployed on carrier 4, occupying the same bandwidth as CAG SSB 4, and is used to receive system messages from CAG SSB 4. Furthermore, a dedicated BWP 41 is also deployed on carrier 4, occupying the left half of its bandwidth for transmitting service data from the CAG user terminal.

[0052] For example, for a given PLMN user terminal, this PLMN user terminal accesses the PLMN cell deployed on carrier 4 using cell subscription information. On carrier 4, PLMN SSB 4 is deployed, occupying a portion of its bandwidth to carry system configuration information such as RMSI. Additionally, on carrier 4, an initial BWP 42 is also deployed, occupying the same bandwidth as PLMN SSB 4, and is used to receive system messages from PLMN SSB 4. Furthermore, on carrier 4, a dedicated BWP 42 is also deployed, occupying the right half of the carrier's frequency band for transmitting the PLMN user terminal's service data.

[0053] from Figure 4 It can be seen that although CAG cell and PLMN cell share carrier 4, the dedicated BWPs for CAG user terminals and PLMN user terminals occupy different frequency bands of carrier 4 respectively, that is, the dedicated BWPs are shared without overlap.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the carrier sharing method between CAG cells and PLMN cells is further divided into two methods: dedicated BWP overlapping sharing and dedicated BWP non-overlapping sharing. This can adapt to different scenarios and provide more diversified services for 5G NR users.

[0055] return Figure 1 In step S20, configuration information including the network deployment method is generated.

[0056] In step S30, configuration information including the network deployment method is sent to the base station so that the base station can deploy CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network according to the network deployment method.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the determination of whether CAG cells and PLMN cells are deployed on the same carrier is based on the network characteristics of 5G NR network, providing a solution for deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells in 5G NR network, which can provide diversified network services for users of 5G NR network.

[0058] Figure 5 This is a block diagram illustrating a network deployment apparatus according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the network deployment apparatus 51 for a 5G NR network includes a determining module 511, a generating module 512, and a transmitting module 513. For example, the network deployment apparatus 51 is an OAM system.

[0060] The determination module 511 is configured to determine, based on the network characteristics of the 5G NR network, the network deployment method for deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network: either deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on different carriers, or deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells on the same carrier.

The processor 612 is configured to execute network deployment methods in any of the embodiments of this disclosure based on the instructions stored in the memory 611. For example, the network deployment apparatus 61 is an OAM system.

[0067] Base station 72 is configured to receive configuration information including network deployment methods for deploying CAG cells and PLMN cells in the 5G NR network.
