Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The development of 5G NR has led to the development of different types of terminals, from NB-IoT to eMTC and then to REDCAP UE (reduced capability UE) proposed in 3GPP R17. Due to the different air interface capabilities of different terminal types, base station scheduling will also change accordingly: during the random access process, the terminal reports its terminal type to the base station, and then the network performs corresponding scheduling based on the obtained terminal type. The type reported by the terminal is the UE type identifier, including UE category 1-12, etc.

[0003] The user's subscription information is stored on the SIM card. This subscription information is reserved by the local operator and includes the card identifier, network authentication data, and terminal identifier. During the interaction between the SIM card and the terminal, the SIM card will exchange some subscription information with the terminal. However, the terminal will not transmit the SIM card's subscription information to the core network until the registration request process. The base station does not perform any judgment or processing on the SIM card's subscription information.

[0004] According to the current process, after the terminal is powered on, it first performs random access. During the random access process, the base station will obtain the terminal type. After the random access is completed, the terminal registers and reports the corresponding subscription information to the core network.

[0005] The current information exchange process between terminals, base stations, and the network means that base stations cannot determine the terminal type corresponding to the SIM card subscription information during scheduling, thus failing to determine whether the scheduling is suitable for the terminal type. Therefore, when the subscribed SIM card information differs from the terminal type, a mismatch between the SIM card subscription information and the terminal's air interface characteristics will occur during the current network scheduling process.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this disclosure, let's first take... Figure 1 The communication system shown in the figure is used as an example to describe in detail the communication system applicable to the embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a communication system illustrating an embodiment of the wireless communication method of this disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 includes four communication devices, such as network device 110 and terminal devices 121 to 123.

[0036] It should be understood that Figure 1 The communication system shown can also include more network nodes, such as terminal devices or network devices. Figure 1 The network devices or terminal devices included in the communication system shown can be any of the various types of network devices or terminal devices described above. Each embodiment of this disclosure is not shown in the figures.

[0037] This disclosure provides at least one embodiment of a wireless communication method. The method is performed by a network device. Figure 2A flowchart illustrating a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps S200 and S202.

[0038] S200: The network device receives the first reporting information sent by the terminal device, the first reporting information including the terminal type of the terminal device.

[0039] S201. The network device receives the second reporting information sent by the terminal device, the second reporting information including the card type.

[0040] S202. The network device determines whether the terminal device has successfully connected based on whether the terminal type and card type match.

[0041] In embodiments of the wireless communication method disclosed herein, the network device determines whether the terminal device has successfully accessed the network based on whether the terminal type and card type match. If the terminal type and card type match, the scheduling resources configured by the network device and the air interface characteristics of the terminal match, and the terminal device successfully accesses the network. If the terminal type and card type do not match, the scheduling resources configured by the network device and the air interface characteristics of the terminal do not match, and the terminal device fails to access the network. The technical solution of this disclosure avoids the phenomenon of mismatch between scheduling resources and terminal air interface characteristics during network scheduling, ensuring that network device scheduling conforms to the terminal type.

[0042] This disclosure provides at least one embodiment of a wireless communication method. The method is performed by a network device. Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes steps S300 and S305.

[0043] S300: The network device receives the first reporting information sent by the terminal device, the first reporting information including the terminal type of the terminal device.

[0044] S301. The network device receives the terminal capability reporting information (UE capabilityInformation) sent by the terminal device. The terminal capability reporting information includes the card type.

[0045] The network device receives terminal capability reporting information, including card type, from the terminal device. Based on the contracted card type reported by the terminal device, the network device assists the base station in matching the terminal type and the contracted card type. In this terminal capability reporting information, the card type is reported as a value from the set of card type values ​​corresponding to the relevant card type. For example, if the terminal device adds an IE Card-subscription in the UE capability Information, the terminal device reports the card subscription type information to the base station, and the values ​​can include 1, 2, 3, spare1, spare2, spare.

[0046] For example, in the card type values, each of 1, 2, 3, spare1, spare2, and sparen corresponds to a specific card type. For instance, 1 represents card type 1, and its matching terminal type is 1; 2 represents card type 2, and its matching terminal type is 2; 3 represents card type 3, and its matching terminal type is 3; spare1 represents card type spare1, and its matching terminal type is spare1; spare2 represents card type spare2, and its matching terminal type is spare2; sparen represents card type sparen, and its matching terminal type is sparen. The card type values ​​can also be other than those listed above, and are not limited here.

[0047] The operator writes the card type that the user has signed up for into the card. This card type can be an IoT card, a SIM card, a REDCAP UE card, etc.; and the terminal device obtains this information during the interaction between the device and the card.

[0048] S302. The network device determines the card type corresponding to the terminal device based on the card type value.

[0049] The network device stores a set of values ​​for the contracted card type of the terminal device. For example, the card type value set includes 1, 2, 3, spare1, spare2, and spare. If the network device receives a card type value of 1, it means the card type is 1 and the matching terminal type is 1; if the network device receives a card type value of 2, it means the card type is 2 and the matching terminal type is 2; if the network device receives a card type value of 3, it means the card type is 3 and the matching terminal type is 3; if the network device receives a card type value of spare1, it means the card type is spare1 and the matching terminal type is spare1; if the network device receives a card type value of spare2, it means the card type is spare2 and the matching terminal type is spare2; if the network device receives a card type value of spare, it means the card type is spare and the matching terminal type is spare.

[0050] S303. The network device determines whether the terminal type and card type match. If the terminal type and card type match successfully, the terminal device is confirmed to have successfully accessed the network. The method then proceeds to steps S304 and S305.

[0051] S304. Send access success information to the terminal device.

[0052] S305. The network device receives the registration request information sent by the terminal device.

[0053] If the terminal type and card type fail to match, the terminal device access is determined to have failed, and the method proceeds to step S305.

[0054] S305. Send access failure information to the terminal device.

[0055] It should be noted that the network device in this embodiment can be a base station, allowing the terminal to simply report its card type information to the base station. The base station can then identify the terminal access by determining whether the terminal type and card type match, and initiate scheduling that matches the terminal type. This patent determines the terminal type and card type during the early access identification process; if they do not match, the terminal device's access can be directly rejected, reducing signaling overhead.

[0056] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the future expansion of terminal types; multiple terminal types can be covered, such as REDCAP UE. At the same time, operators can restrict different types of terminal devices from accessing the network. For example, the base station matches the terminal type with the SIM card type, ensuring that only terminal devices whose terminal type matches the SIM card type can access the network. This strengthens the operator's control over terminal devices accessing the network, ensuring that the terminal and SIM card subscription information are consistent, and subsequently, the base station initiates scheduling that matches the terminal type after accessing the cell.

[0057] In embodiments of the wireless communication method disclosed herein, a network device receives terminal capability reporting information reported by a terminal device. The card type is reported using a set of corresponding card type numbers, and the terminal type is determined based on these numbers. If the terminal type and card type match, the scheduling resources configured by the network device and the terminal's air interface characteristics match, and the terminal device successfully accesses the network. If the terminal type and card type do not match, the scheduling resources configured by the network device and the terminal's air interface characteristics do not match, and the terminal device fails to access the network. This technical solution avoids the mismatch between scheduling resources and terminal air interface characteristics during network scheduling, ensuring that network device scheduling conforms to the terminal type.

[0058] The wireless communication method of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to embodiments.
