[0002] When the terminal device is authenticated by the operator for network access, it is necessary to verify the consistency between the carrier combination in the response table filled in by the terminal device when applying for authentication and the carrier combination actually reported and supported by the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the communication system may also include other devices that communicate with the network device 101 or with the terminal device 102, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the network device may be a device having receiving and / or sending functions, and may be used to communicate with a terminal device.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the network device 101 can send information indicating multiple carriers supported by the terminal device 102 to the terminal device 102.

[0047] This application embodiment proposes a verification method. Figure 2 An interactive schematic diagram of a verification method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method includes but is not limited to:

[0048] S201. The network device sends first information to the terminal device, the first information is used to indicate multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, and the first information is used to obtain one or more carrier combinations among the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first information from the network device.

[0049] The multiple carriers supported by the terminal device are obtained by the network device based on a carrier list (bandlist) supported by the terminal device extracted from a configuration file of the terminal device. For example, if the carrier list supported by the terminal device extracted by the network device from the configuration file of the terminal device is "ENQUIRY_BANDLIST=66, 4, 2, 13, 5, 48", it is determined that the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device include carriers with frequency bands of 66, 4, 2, 13, 5 and 48.

[0050] In an optional implementation, the first information includes a frequency band of each carrier among multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, so as to directly indicate the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device.

[0051] In another optional implementation, the first information includes an identifier / index number of each carrier among multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, so as to indirectly indicate the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device.

[0052] In addition, the first information is used to obtain one or more carrier combinations among multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, so as to verify the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination in the response table.

[0053] In an optional implementation, the first information may be user equipment capability enquiry (UE capability enquiry) information, where the UE capability enquiry information is used to query capability information of the terminal device, such as the UE capability enquiry information is used to query one or more carrier combinations supported by the terminal device.

[0054] It can be seen that the network device can send UE capability enquiry information to the terminal device to query one or more carrier combinations supported by the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device can receive the UE capability enquiry information from the network device.

[0055] In an optional implementation manner, the UE capability enquiry information includes a band filter (bandfilter), and the bandfilter is used to filter out multiple carriers supported by the terminal device from multiple carriers, and then indicate the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device to the terminal device.

[0056] It is understandable that, since the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device are obtained by the network device from the bandlist supported by the terminal device extracted from the configuration file of the terminal device, and the first information is used to indicate the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, the first information can be understood as being determined based on the bandlist supported by the terminal device extracted from the configuration file of the terminal device. For example, the UE capability enquiry information sent by the network device to the terminal device is generated based on the bandlist supported by the terminal device extracted from the configuration file of the terminal device.

[0057] S202. The terminal device sends second information to the network device, the second information is used to indicate one or more first carrier combinations supported by the terminal device, the one or more first carrier combinations being carrier combinations among multiple carriers. Correspondingly, the network device receives the second information from the terminal device.

[0058] Among them, the carrier combination can be understood as a combination of multiple carriers of different frequency bands or the same frequency band to provide a higher data transmission rate and a larger network capacity. For example, the carriers supported by the terminal device include carriers of frequency bands 66, 4, 2, 13, 5 and 48, and the carrier combination can be a combination of a carrier of frequency band 48 and a carrier of frequency band 66, or a combination of a carrier of frequency band 4, a carrier of frequency band 2 and a carrier of frequency band 48, or a combination of a carrier of frequency band 66, a carrier of frequency band 2, a carrier of frequency band 5 and a carrier of frequency band 48. The carrier combination can also be a combination of a carrier with a center frequency of 2412 MHz and a carrier with a center frequency of 2417 MHz in a carrier with frequency band 2, or a combination of a carrier with a center frequency of 2412 MHz and a carrier with a center frequency of 2437 MHz in a carrier with frequency band 2.

[0059] In an optional implementation, the second information may be user equipment capability information (UE capability information). UE capability information may be a series of capability information reported by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device is connected to the mobile communication network. The capabilities of the terminal device include but are not limited to: data rate, frequency band, antenna configuration, encryption and integrity protection algorithm supported by the terminal device, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the UE capability information includes one or more first carrier combinations supported by the terminal device, so as to report the carrier combinations that can be supported among the multiple carriers supported.

[0060] Due to protocol restrictions, the terminal device may not be able to report multiple carrier combinations it supports at one time. For example, in new air interface communications, the UE capability information reported by the terminal device through the air interface side at one time cannot exceed 9000 bytes. For another example, in long-term evolution communications, the UE capability information reported by the terminal device through the air interface side at one time cannot exceed 8188 bytes. However, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can send UE capability information to the network device, the network device can receive UE capability information from the terminal device, obtain and parse the carrier combination list (bandcombinationlist) parameter from the UE capability information script, extract one or more first carrier combinations supported by the terminal device from the bandcombinationlist parameter, and can receive one or more carrier combinations supported by the terminal device at one time.

[0061] For example, Table 1 is a carrier combination supported by the terminal device, and the downlink carriers supported by the terminal device include: a carrier with a frequency band of 48 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66, and the uplink carriers supported by the terminal device include: a carrier with a frequency band of 48 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66. Therefore, the downlink carrier combination supported by the terminal device may be 48A-66A, and the supported uplink carrier combination may be 48A-66A.

[0062] Table 1 A carrier combination supported by the terminal equipment

[0063] Downlink carrier combination Uplink carrier combination Carrier frequency band direction 48A-66A 48A-66A 48 Downside 48A-66A 48A-66A 48 Up 48A-66A 48A-66A 66 Downside 48A-66A 48A-66A 66 Up

[0064] S203. When the one or more first carrier combinations are part of the one or more second carrier combinations indicated in the response table of the terminal device, the network device sends third information to the terminal device, the third information is used to indicate one or more third carrier combinations, and the one or more third carrier combinations are carrier combinations in the one or more second carrier combinations except the one or more first carrier combinations. Accordingly, the terminal device receives the third information from the network device.

[0065] Among them, the response table is filled in by the terminal device when performing operator authentication, including basic information of the terminal device, network types supported by the terminal device, carrier combinations supported by the terminal device, etc.

[0066] In an optional implementation, the third information includes an identifier of each carrier combination in one or more third carrier combinations, and multiple carrier frequency bands corresponding to each identifier, to indicate one or more third carrier combinations. For example, the third information includes identifier 1 and identifier 2, and identifier 1 corresponds to a carrier with a frequency band of 2 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66, and identifier 2 corresponds to a carrier with a frequency band of 55 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66. It can be seen that the third information is used to indicate carrier combination #1 corresponding to identifier 1 and carrier combination #2 corresponding to identifier 2, carrier combination #1 includes a carrier with a frequency band of 2 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66, and carrier combination #2 includes a carrier with a frequency band of 55 and a carrier with a frequency band of 66.

[0067] In an optional implementation manner, the third information may be UE capability enquiry information, where the UE capability enquiry information is used to indicate one or more third carrier combinations.

[0068] Optionally, the UE capability enquiry information includes a bandfilter, where the bandfilter is used to filter out one or more first carrier combinations from one or more second carrier combinations to obtain one or more third carrier combinations, and further indicate the one or more third carrier combinations.

[0069] It can be seen that when one or more first carrier combinations are part of one or more second carrier combinations indicated in the response table of the terminal device, the network device can determine that the terminal device has not reported all of the one or more second carrier combinations indicated in the response table, so that the network device indicates to the terminal device through the third information one or more third carrier combinations in the one or more second carrier combinations indicated in the response table except for the one or more first carrier combinations reported by the terminal device, so that the terminal device continues to report the carrier combinations it supports from the one or more third carrier combinations, and then verifies again the consistency between the carrier combinations supported by the terminal device and the carrier combinations indicated in the response table.

[0070] In an optional implementation, when one or more first carrier combinations are all of one or more second carrier combinations, the network device determines that the terminal device has passed the verification; when one or more first carrier combinations are carrier combinations different from one or more second carrier combinations, the network device determines that the terminal device has not passed the verification.

[0071] It can be seen that when one or more first carrier combinations are all of one or more second carrier combinations, the network device determines that the carrier combination reported by the terminal device is the same as the carrier combination filled in the response table, or in other words, the network device determines that the terminal device reports all the carrier combinations filled in the response table, thereby determining that the terminal device has passed the verification. When one or more first carrier combinations are carrier combinations different from one or more second carrier combinations, the network device determines that the terminal device has not reported any of the carrier combinations filled in the response table, thereby determining that the terminal device has not passed the verification.

[0072] To summarize, after receiving the second information from the terminal device, the network device can compare the one or more first carrier combinations supported by the terminal device indicated by the second information with the one or more second carrier combinations indicated by the response table, thereby determining whether the terminal device has passed the verification based on the relationship between the one or more first carrier combinations and the one or more second carrier combinations, or, in the case that the terminal device has not fully reported the one or more second carrier combinations indicated by the response table, request the terminal device to continue to report the carrier combinations it supports by indicating one or more third carrier combinations to the terminal device, so as to continue to verify the consistency between the carrier combinations supported by the terminal device and the carrier combinations indicated in the response table.

[0073] In an optional implementation, the terminal device sends fourth information to the network device, where the fourth information is used to indicate one or more fourth carrier combinations supported by the terminal device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the fourth information from the terminal device.

[0074] Specifically, after receiving the third information from the network device, the terminal device may also send fourth information to the network device to report one or more fourth carrier combinations supported to the network device. The terminal device receives the third information from the network device, indicating that the network device requests the terminal device to continue reporting the carrier combinations it supports, so the terminal device continues to report the indicated carrier combinations to the network device by sending the fourth information to the network device. This method allows the network device to continue to verify the consistency between one or more fourth carrier combinations and one or more third carrier combinations, and then verify the consistency between the carrier combination reported and supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table.

[0075] In an optional implementation, when one or more fourth carrier combinations are part of one or more third carrier combinations, the network device sends fifth information to the terminal device, where the fifth information is used to indicate one or more fifth carrier combinations, and the fifth carrier combination is a combination of the one or more third carrier combinations excluding the one or more fourth carrier combinations. Accordingly, the terminal device receives the fifth information from the network device.

[0076] When one or more fourth carrier combinations are part of one or more third carrier combinations, indicating that the terminal device has not yet reported all the carrier combinations indicated in the response table, the network device indicates to the terminal device the carrier combinations (one or more fifth carrier combinations) that have not yet been reported by the terminal device in the carrier combinations indicated in the response table of the terminal device by sending the fifth information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can continue to report the carrier combinations it supports, so that the network device continues to verify the consistency between the carrier combinations supported by the terminal device and the carrier combinations indicated in the response table.

[0077] In an optional implementation, when one or more fourth carrier combinations are all of one or more third carrier combinations, the network device determines that the terminal device has passed the verification; when one or more fourth carrier combinations are carrier combinations different from one or more third carrier combinations, the network device determines that the terminal device has not passed the verification.

[0078] When the one or more fourth carrier combinations are all of the one or more third carrier combinations, the network device can determine that the terminal device has reported all the carrier combinations indicated in the response table, so that the network device determines that the terminal device has passed the verification. When the one or more fourth carrier combinations are carrier combinations different from the one or more third carrier combinations, the network device can determine that the terminal device has not reported any of the one or more second carrier combinations filled in the response table, so that the network device determines that the terminal device has not passed the verification.

[0079] In summary, the network device can indicate to the terminal device the multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, so that the terminal device reports one or more first carrier combinations among the multiple carriers supported to the network device, and then the network device verifies the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table filled in by the terminal device. When the one or more first carrier combinations reported by the terminal device are part of the carrier combination indicated in the response table, the network device determines that the terminal device has not fully reported the carrier combination indicated in the response table, and therefore sends the carrier combination indicated in the response table except for one or more first carrier combinations to the terminal device, so that the terminal device continues to report the carrier combinations it supports, so as to continue to verify the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table.

[0080] Compared with the method in which the network device sends a use case set generated based on the carrier combination indicated in the response table to the terminal device and performs all tests on all the carrier combination use cases in the use case set, the method can reduce the complexity of the network device verifying the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table. In other words, it can reduce the cost of verifying the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table, which is conducive to shortening the period for the terminal device to pass the operator certification.

[0081] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flow chart of a verification method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method includes but is not limited to:

[0082] S301. The network device sends a UE capability enquiry#1 message to the terminal device.

[0083] The UE capability enquiry#1 message is used to indicate multiple carriers supported by the terminal device, and the UE capability enquiry#1 message is used to query one or more carrier combinations supported by the terminal device.

[0084] Optionally, the UE capability enquiry#1 message sent by the network device may include a bandfilter, where the bandfilter is used to filter out multiple carriers supported by the terminal device from multiple carriers.

[0085] S302. The network device extracts one or more carrier combinations #1 supported by the terminal device from the UE capability information #1 reported by the terminal device through software.

[0086] Among them, one or more carrier combinations #1 are carrier combinations among multiple carriers supported by the terminal device.

[0087] It is understandable that after receiving the UE capability enquiry#1 message, the terminal device can report the carrier combinations supported in multiple carriers to the network device through UE capability information#1. Therefore, the network device can extract one or more carrier combinations #1 reported and supported by the terminal device from the script of UE capability information#1 reported by the terminal device.

[0088] S303. The network device compares one or more carrier combinations #1 with one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table.

[0089] Specifically, the network device compares one or more carrier combinations #1 with one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table, which means: determining whether one or more carrier combinations #1 are the same as one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table.

[0090] When one or more carrier combinations #1 are different from one or more carrier combinations #2, the network device executes the following S304; when one or more carrier combinations #1 are the same as one or more carrier combinations #2, the network device executes the following S306.

[0091] S304. The network device determines whether one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have been reduced.

[0092] Specifically, the network device determines whether one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have been reduced based on one or more carrier combinations #1. When one or more carrier combinations #1 are part of one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table, the network device determines that the terminal device has reported part of the multiple carrier combinations indicated in the response table, and determines that the one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have been reduced. When one or more carriers #1 are completely different from the one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table, or in other words, one or more carriers #1 are carrier combinations other than the one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table, the network device determines that the terminal device has not reported a carrier combination in the multiple carrier combinations indicated in the response table, and determines that the one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have not been reduced.

[0093] In an optional implementation, when the network device determines that one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have been reduced, and the terminal device still has unreported supported carrier combinations, the following S305 is executed to enable the terminal device to continue to report supported carrier combinations.

[0094] In another optional implementation, when the network device determines that one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device have not been reduced, the following S307 is executed to end the consistency verification of the terminal device.

[0095] S305. The network device sends a UE capability enquiry#2 message to the terminal device.

[0096] Among them, the UE capability enquiry#2 message is used to query one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table of the terminal device and not reported by the terminal device.

[0097] Optionally, the UE capability enquiry#2 message sent by the network device may include a bandfilter, which is used to filter out one or more carrier combinations reported and supported by the terminal device from the one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table, and obtain one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table and not reported by the terminal device.

[0098] In an optional implementation, the terminal device receives UE capability enquiry #2 from the network device and can send UE capability information #2 indicating one or more carrier combinations supported by the terminal device to the network device. The network device can extract one or more carrier combinations #3 supported by the terminal device from UE capability information #2 reported by the terminal device through software, and further verify the consistency between the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table.

[0099] S306. The network device determines that the carrier combination test of the terminal device passes.

[0100] Specifically, when in S303, one or more carrier combinations #1 are the same as one or more carrier combinations #2, the network device determines that the carrier combination test of the terminal device passes.

[0101] S307. The network device determines that the carrier combination test of the terminal device fails.

[0102] Specifically, when one or more carrier combinations are not reduced in S304, that is, one or more carrier combinations #1 reported by the terminal device are carrier combinations other than one or more carrier combinations #2 indicated in the response table, the network device determines that the carrier combination test of the terminal device fails.

[0103] It can be seen that the network device can send a UE capability enquiry message to the terminal device, extract one or more carrier combinations reported and supported by the terminal device from the UE capability information fed back by the terminal device, and determine whether the terminal device passes the carrier combination test, continue to send the UE capability enquiry message to the terminal device, or determine that the terminal device fails the carrier combination test according to the relationship between the one or more carrier combinations reported and supported by the terminal device and the one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table.

[0104] When one or more carrier combinations reported and supported by the terminal device are different from the one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table, and the one or more carrier combinations not reported by the terminal device are reduced, the network device continues to send a UE capability enquiry message to the terminal device to obtain one or more carrier combinations indicated in the response table and not reported by the terminal device, and then continues to verify the consistency of the carrier combination supported by the terminal device and the carrier combination indicated in the response table, thereby reducing the complexity of verifying the consistency.
