[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0062] The service unloading method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. A network device in a mobile network determines a network load of the mobile network. When the network load is higher than a load threshold, the network device sends a reconfiguration message carrying service unloading preference information to a user terminal running a target service. The reconfiguration message is used to instruct the user terminal to perform an unloading operation of the target service based on the service unloading preference information, for example, unloading the target service to a non-mobile network.

[0063] It should be noted that the service offloading in the present application refers to transferring the target service from one network to another network, and having the other network carry and execute the target service.

[0064] The network device refers to a network device in a mobile network that has direct or indirect communication with a user terminal, and has the function of directly or indirectly determining a network load of the mobile network and generating a reconfiguration message. It can be a network element device or a wireless network device.

[0065] User terminal refers to the terminal device at the user end, for example, it can be a smart terminal device such as a mobile phone, a computer, or a smart wearable device such as a smart bracelet or a smart watch.

[0066] Mobile network refers to mobile communication networks, including but not limited to cellular networks, for example, fourth-generation mobile communication 4G communication networks and fifth-generation mobile communication 5G mobile communication networks.

[0067] Non-mobile networks refer to other communication networks except mobile communication networks, for example, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) networks.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 2 is a flow chart of a service offloading method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, in which the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the network device in as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0069] S201, determining a network load of a mobile network.

[0070] Mobile network refers to mobile communication network, which uses radio waves to transmit data, enabling users to communicate and access network services at any time and any place. Network load refers to the indicator used to characterize the busyness of mobile network.

[0071] As an optional implementation of the present application, the network load of the mobile network is determined according to performance indicators of the mobile network, wherein the performance indicators include but are not limited to business volume, CPU utilization, network bandwidth, network rate, etc.

[0072] As an optional implementation of the present application, the network load of the mobile network is determined according to the utilization rate of the physical resource blocks of the mobile network within a preset period of time, or according to the data usage of the mobile network within a preset period of time.

[0073] As another optional implementation of the present application, the network load of the mobile network is determined according to the utilization rate of the physical resource blocks of the mobile network by the target service within a preset period of time, or the data usage of the QoS (Quality of Service) flow corresponding to the target service in the mobile network.

[0074] It should be noted that the utilization rate of the physical resource blocks and the data usage in the above embodiments may be values ​​such as the average, the median, and the 95th percentile that can be obtained by statistical methods.

[0075] S202: When the network load is higher than a load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information is sent to a user terminal running a target service.

[0076] The reconfiguration message is used to instruct the user terminal to perform the target service uninstallation operation based on the service uninstallation preference information. The reconfiguration message may be an RRC (Radio Resource Control) reconfiguration message. An important function of the reconfiguration message in this application is to carry the service uninstallation preference information. The service uninstallation preference information refers to information that characterizes which network the target service is preferred to be uninstalled to.

[0077] Optionally, the service offloading preference information in this embodiment includes but is not limited to a preferred network. A preferred network refers to a network to which a network device tends to offload a target service.

[0078] As an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, when the network load is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information is sent to a user terminal running the target service. After the user terminal receives the reconfiguration message, the target service is offloaded to the preferred network based on the preferred network in the service offloading preference information.

[0079] As another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, when the network load is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information is sent to a user terminal running the target service. After receiving the reconfiguration message, the user terminal compares the network quality of the preferred network in the service offloading preference information and the network quality of the mobile network, and offloads the target service to a network with better network quality.

[0080] It should be noted that in this application, if the network currently carrying the target service of the user terminal is the network finally determined to be the target service to be unloaded to, there is no need to perform the unloading operation of the target service. For example, based on the method of this application, it is finally determined that the target service of the user terminal is to be unloaded to the mobile network, and the target service is currently carried and executed by the mobile network. In this case, there is no need to perform the service unloading operation.

[0081] The above-mentioned service unloading method determines the network load of the mobile network. When the network load is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service unloading preference information is sent to the user terminal running the target service; wherein the reconfiguration message is used to instruct the user terminal to perform the unloading operation of the target service based on the service unloading preference information. Compared with the traditional user terminal, when performing the service unloading operation of the target service, only the network indicators on the terminal side are used as the service unloading decision, which is a one-sided consideration and may cause the problem of poor effect after unloading. The present application also considers the network load on the mobile network side. When the network load is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service unloading preference information is sent to the user terminal running the target service. The user terminal can perform the unloading operation of the target service based on the service unloading preference information. It can be seen that the present application is more comprehensive when performing service unloading, which not only effectively improves the user experience when the user uses the target service, but also reduces the network burden of the mobile network and improves the security and stability of the mobile network.

[0082] In one embodiment, the service offloading preference information includes at least a freezing time; the reconfiguration message is further used to instruct the user terminal to prohibit performing the offloading operation on the target service again within the freezing time after performing the offloading operation on the target service. The freezing time is used to instruct the user terminal to make a decision not to trigger the service offloading within the time, thereby reducing the frequency of performing the service offloading.

[0083] Optionally, the service offloading preference information also includes the following content, as shown in Table 1 and Table 2:

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086] Table 2

[0087]

[0088] The service offloading preference identifiers in Table 1 and Table 2 are used to distinguish each service offloading preference information;

[0089] The preferred network indicates that the target service is expected to be offloaded to a mobile network or a non-mobile network; the QoS flow applicable to the preference information is used to characterize the QoS flow applicable to the service offloading preference information. The radio bearer list applicable to the preference information is used to indicate that the QoS flow is mapped to the data radio bearer for transmitting data, used to characterize the radio bearer applicable to the service offloading preference information, and to determine the data usage of the target service based on the radio bearer; the validity period of the preference information refers to the effective duration of the service offloading preference information.

[0090] In this embodiment, the service offloading preference information includes at least a freezing time period, which is used to guide the user terminal not to trigger service offloading within the freezing time period. The service offloading preference information also includes a time limit and a preference identifier for distinguishing the service offloading preference information.

[0091] In one embodiment, Figure 3 is a flow chart of a service offloading method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, in which the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the user terminal in as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0092] S301: Receive a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information sent by a network device of a mobile network.

[0093] Among them, the reconfiguration message is sent by the network equipment of the mobile network when the network load is higher than the load threshold. The reconfiguration message carries service offloading preference information and can be used to instruct the user terminal to perform the offloading operation of the target service based on the service offloading preference information.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the network device detects that the network load of the mobile network is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information is sent to the user terminal running the target service. The user terminal receives the reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information sent by the network device of the mobile network.

[0095] As an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, after the network device of the mobile network establishes communication with the user terminal, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information sent by the network device of the mobile network is received.

[0096] As another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information is sent by a network device of a receiving mobile network through other devices (for example, a network element device or a communication device).

[0097] S302: Execute an uninstallation operation of a target service of a user terminal according to the service uninstallation preference information.

[0098] As an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the target service is offloaded to the preferred network according to the preferred network carried in the service offloading preference message.

[0099] Another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application is to offload the target service to a network with better network quality according to the network quality of the preferred network in the service offloading preference information and the network quality of the mobile network.

[0100] As another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the service unloading preference information includes a preferred network, and the user terminal performs the unloading operation of the target service according to the signal strength of the preferred network. If the preferred network is a non-mobile network (such as a WIFI network), the signal strength is the signal strength of the non-mobile network. If the preferred network is a mobile network, the signal strength is the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network. Among them, the signal strength of the reference signal can be a reference signal RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power / Reference Signal Received Power, reference signal received power).

[0101] Optionally, the service uninstallation preference information also includes a freezing time period; the reconfiguration message is also used to instruct the user terminal to prohibit performing an uninstallation operation on the target service again within the freezing time period after performing an uninstallation operation on the target service.

[0102] Optionally, the content included in the service offloading preference information is described in detail in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0103] In this embodiment, the user terminal also considers the service unloading preference information when performing service unloading, and the service unloading preference information is issued by the network device when the network load is higher than the preset load threshold. That is to say, when the user terminal performs service unloading, the network load of the mobile network is also considered. It can be seen that the present application takes more comprehensive considerations when performing service unloading, which not only effectively improves the user experience when the user uses the target service, but also reduces the network burden of the mobile network and improves the security and stability of the mobile network.

[0104] In one embodiment, when the preferred network is a non-mobile network, in order to offload the target service to a network with better network quality and improve the user's service experience, such as Figure 4 As shown, an optional implementation of performing an offloading operation of a target service according to a signal strength of a preferred network includes:

[0105] S401: when the preferred network is a non-mobile network and the signal strength of a reference signal of the mobile network is higher than a first strength threshold, offloading a target service of a user terminal to the mobile network.

[0106] The first strength threshold refers to a boundary condition used to determine whether the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network meets certain requirements.

[0107] It should be noted that if the target service is currently carried and operated by a mobile network, there is no need to perform an unloading operation on the target service, and the target service remains in the mobile network and continues to be carried and operated by the mobile network.

[0108] S402: when the preferred network is a non-mobile network, the signal strength of the preferred network is higher than a second strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is not higher than a third strength threshold, offloading the target service of the user terminal to the non-mobile network.

[0109] The second strength threshold refers to a boundary condition for determining whether the signal strength of the non-mobile network meets a certain condition. The third strength threshold refers to another boundary condition for determining whether the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network meets a certain requirement. In this embodiment, the first strength threshold is higher than the third strength threshold.

[0110] It should be noted that if the target service is currently carried and operated by a non-mobile network, there is no need to perform an unloading operation on the target service, and the target service remains in the non-mobile network and continues to be carried and operated by the non-mobile network.

[0111] In this embodiment, when the preferred network is a non-mobile network, it is further determined whether the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is higher than the first strength threshold. If it is higher than the first strength threshold, the target service of the user terminal is unloaded to the mobile network. If it is not higher than the first strength threshold, and the signal strength of the preferred network is higher than the second strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is not higher than the third strength threshold, the target service of the user terminal is unloaded to the non-mobile network, so that the signal strength of the network to which the target service is unloaded is better, which can effectively improve the user's service experience for the target service.

[0112] On the basis of the above embodiment, when the preferred network is a mobile network, in order to offload the target service to a network with better network quality and improve the user's service experience, such as Figure 5 As shown, an optional implementation of performing an offloading operation of a target service according to a signal strength of a preferred network includes:

[0113] S501: when the preferred network is a mobile network and the signal strength of a reference signal of the mobile network is higher than a fourth strength threshold, offloading a target service of a user terminal to the mobile network.

[0114] The fourth strength threshold refers to a boundary condition for determining whether the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network meets a certain condition. In this embodiment, when the preferred network is a mobile network, the fourth strength threshold is lower than the first strength threshold in the above embodiment.

[0115] It should be noted that if the target service is currently carried and operated by a mobile network, there is no need to perform an unloading operation on the target service, and the target service remains in the mobile network and continues to be carried and operated by the mobile network.

[0116] S502: when the preferred network is a mobile network, the signal strength of the non-mobile network is higher than a fifth strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is lower than a sixth strength threshold, offloading the target service to the non-mobile network.

[0117] The fifth strength threshold refers to a boundary condition for determining whether the signal strength of the non-mobile network meets certain requirements. The sixth strength threshold refers to a boundary condition for determining whether the signal strength of the mobile network meets certain requirements. In this embodiment, the fifth strength threshold is higher than the second strength threshold, and the sixth strength threshold is lower than the third strength threshold and lower than the fourth strength threshold.

[0118] It should be noted that if the target service is currently carried and operated by a non-mobile network, there is no need to perform an unloading operation on the target service, and the target service remains in the non-mobile network and continues to be carried and operated by the non-mobile network.

[0119] In this embodiment, when the preferred network is a mobile network, it is further determined that the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is higher than the fourth strength threshold. If it is higher than the fourth strength threshold, the target service of the user terminal is unloaded to the mobile network. If it is not higher than the fourth strength threshold, and the signal strength of the non-mobile network is higher than the fifth strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is lower than the sixth strength threshold, the target service is unloaded to the non-mobile network, which can make the signal strength of the network to which the target service is unloaded better, and can effectively improve the user's service experience for the target service.

[0120] In one of the embodiments, the above-mentioned first strength threshold, second strength threshold and third strength threshold are determined by the user terminal when performing service unloading when the service unloading preference information is not received. When the user terminal does not receive the service unloading preference information, an optional implementation method of service unloading is that if the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is higher than the seventh strength threshold, the target service is unloaded to the mobile network. If the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is not higher than the seventh strength threshold, and the signal strength of the non-mobile network is higher than the eighth strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is not higher than the ninth strength threshold, the target service is unloaded to the non-mobile network. Among them, the first strength threshold is higher than the seventh strength threshold. The second strength threshold is lower than the eighth strength threshold. The third strength threshold is higher than the ninth strength threshold.

[0121] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, an optional implementation of a service offloading method includes:

[0122] S601, a network device determines a network load of a mobile network according to a utilization rate of a physical resource block of the mobile network or a data usage amount of the mobile network within a preset period of time.

[0123] S602: When the network load is higher than the load threshold, the network device sends a reconfiguration message carrying service offloading preference information of the preferred network to the user terminal running the target service. The service offloading preference information also includes the freezing time.

[0124] S603, the user terminal receives a reconfiguration message carrying the service uninstallation preference information of the preferred network sent by the network device of the mobile network. The service uninstallation preference information also includes a freezing time; the reconfiguration message is also used to instruct the user terminal to prohibit performing the uninstallation operation on the target service again within the freezing time after executing the uninstallation operation on the target service.

[0125] S604: when the preferred network is a non-mobile network and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is higher than a first strength threshold, offloading the target service of the user terminal to the mobile network.

[0126] S605: when the preferred network is a non-mobile network, the signal strength of the preferred network is higher than the second strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is not higher than the third strength threshold, offload the target service of the user terminal to the non-mobile network. The first strength threshold is higher than the third strength threshold.

[0127] S606: If the preferred network is a mobile network and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is higher than a fourth strength threshold, offload the target service of the user terminal to the mobile network, wherein the fourth strength threshold is lower than the first strength threshold.

[0128] S607: When the preferred network is a mobile network, the signal strength of the non-mobile network is higher than a fifth strength threshold, and the signal strength of the reference signal of the mobile network is lower than a sixth strength threshold, offloading the target service to the non-mobile network. The fifth strength threshold is higher than the second strength threshold, and the sixth strength threshold is lower than the third strength threshold and lower than the fourth strength threshold.

[0129] In this embodiment, by determining the network load of the mobile network. When the network load is higher than the load threshold, a reconfiguration message carrying service unloading preference information is sent to the user terminal running the target service; wherein the reconfiguration message is used to instruct the user terminal to perform the unloading operation of the target service based on the service unloading preference information. Compared with the traditional user terminal, when performing the service unloading operation of the target service, only the network indicators on the terminal side are used as the service unloading decision, which is a one-sided consideration and may cause the problem of poor effect after unloading.
