These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0071] The following describes a communication network switching method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium according to embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for switching a communication network provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. The method is applied to a communication base station, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0073] Step 101: Acquire location information sent by a terminal device, and determine whether to enable inter-system measurement based on the location information.

[0074] In some embodiments, the communication base station end is the communication base station to which the terminal device is currently connected. After obtaining the location information of the terminal device, it is determined that the location of the terminal device is within the signal coverage of other signal base stations based on the locations and signal coverage of other signal base stations. Then, it can be determined to start inter-system measurement. Inter-system measurement is the measurement of other signal base stations. The purpose is to detect whether the signal strength and quality of other base stations can meet the communication quality requirements of the mobile device. Specifically, the quality requirements can be set according to the actual needs of the user, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0075] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a heterogeneous system measurement provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2As shown, the communication base station of the user equipment (UE) is a satellite communication network base station. When the location information reported by the UE is an area covered by both satellite communication network base station signals and terrestrial network base station signals, it is determined to start the inter-system measurement. It should be noted that Figure 2 This is merely an exemplary description and is not intended to be a specific limitation on specific communication base stations and other base stations. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0076] Step 102: When it is determined to start the heterogeneous system measurement, a heterogeneous system measurement instruction is sent to the terminal device.

[0077] In some embodiments, the communication base station sends the measurement control information to the UE via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message.

[0078] Step 103: Receive the inter-system measurement report sent by the terminal device, compare the inter-system measurement report with the network service quality of the communication base station, and determine whether to perform communication network switching.

[0079] In some embodiments, because network quality varies with the location of the terminal device, the inter-system measurement report is generated for the terminal device test, so that the report best reflects the signal quality of other base stations.

[0080] Through the inter-system measurement report, the signal quality of other base stations is analyzed, such as signal strength and whether the signal quality meets the preset conditions, or compared with the connection of the current communication base station to determine the base station with better network service quality for communication.

[0081] Step 104: When it is determined to execute the communication network switching, a communication network switching instruction is sent to the terminal device.

[0082] When it is determined that the signal quality of other base stations corresponding to the inter-system measurement report is better than that of the current communication base station, it is determined to perform network switching and use the communication base station with the best network quality to connect to the network.

[0083] The present disclosure provides a switching method for a communication network, and its main technical solution includes: obtaining location information sent by a terminal device, determining whether to enable heterosystem measurement based on the location information; in the case of determining to enable heterosystem measurement, sending a heterosystem measurement instruction to the terminal device; receiving a heterosystem measurement report sent by the terminal device, comparing the heterosystem measurement report with the network service quality of the communication base station, and determining whether to execute communication network switching; in the case of determining to execute the communication network switching, sending a communication network switching instruction to the terminal device. Compared with the related art, the embodiment of the present application can accurately control the measurement timing and reduce unnecessary measurement overhead and terminal energy consumption by obtaining the location information of the terminal device and intelligently judging whether to enable heterosystem measurement; at the same time, based on the comparison between the heterosystem measurement report and the network service quality of the current communication base station, dynamically decide whether to execute network switching, select a communication network with better communication quality according to actual needs, ensure the rationality and efficiency of switching, avoid communication interruption caused by blind switching, thereby achieving optimal configuration of network resources, reducing terminal energy consumption and improving communication service quality, and ultimately providing users with a more stable, efficient and seamless network experience.

[0084] In some embodiments, acquiring location information sent by the terminal device and determining whether to enable inter-system measurement according to the location information includes:

[0085] The movement trajectory of the terminal device is predicted based on the location information; wherein the location information includes at least one of the movement speed, direction, and longitude and latitude.

[0086] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a network switching process provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the UE future location prediction is to predict the movement trajectory of the terminal device. The location information includes the current location, movement speed and movement direction. By processing and parsing the acquired location information, and modeling and analyzing it through deep learning technology, the user movement trajectory is obtained. For the specific modeling and analysis process, please refer to any implementation method in the prior art, and the embodiment of this application does not limit this.

[0087] The user's device location is predicted to track its movement within a certain period of time, such as 1s, 3s, or 6s.

[0088] Based on the longitude and latitude and the movement trajectory prediction result of the terminal device, it is determined whether there is coverage of a base station of a different system in the movement trajectory prediction result route.

[0089] In some embodiments, before performing this step, the following steps are also included:

[0090] According to the longitude and latitude of the terminal device, network data of a base station of a different system in the area where the terminal device is located is obtained; wherein the network data includes the location coordinates, signal strength, coverage range, and service status of the base station of the different system;

[0091] Based on the coverage of the heterologous system base station and the movement trajectory prediction result of the terminal device, a heterologous system base station having a coverage overlapping with the coverage of the communication base station is determined.

[0092] Please continue reading Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, whether the UE's future location is within the coverage of a heterogeneous system cell is determined to determine whether there is heterogeneous system base station coverage in the predicted trajectory. Ground base station signal network data in the user's area is obtained. This data should include information such as the location coordinates, signal strength, coverage range, and base station service status of the ground base station.

[0093] Obtain satellite signal coverage area data, which should include satellite location information, signal coverage range, etc.

[0094] Perform geographic location analysis based on the coverage of ground base station cells and satellite network cells to obtain the neighboring cells of different systems covering the user's future location.

[0095] Please continue reading Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the UE's current location is within the coverage of the satellite communication network base station, and it is predicted that there is a ground network base station in the UE's trajectory prediction route, so it is determined that there is coverage of a different system base station in the mobile trajectory prediction result route.

[0096] When it is determined that there is coverage of a base station of a different system in the movement trajectory prediction result route, a time for starting the different system measurement is determined according to the movement speed; and the different system measurement instruction includes the time for starting the different system measurement.

[0097] Get the time T when the user's future location is covered by the system's neighboring area.

[0098] The source base station sends measurement control information to the UE via the RRC connection reconfiguration message, including the time T for starting inter-system measurement.

[0099] In some embodiments, the receiving the inter-system measurement report sent by the terminal device, comparing the inter-system measurement report with the network service quality of the communication base station, and determining whether to perform communication network switching includes:

[0100] Determining whether a signal parameter of the heterogeneous system base station in the heterogeneous system measurement report is greater than a preset signal parameter threshold; wherein the signal parameter includes at least one of signal strength and signal quality; different signal parameters correspond to different preset signal parameter thresholds;

[0101] Please continue reading Figure 3 , start heterogeneous system measurement, measure signal strength and quality, and determine whether the heterogeneous system signal strength and quality are greater than the threshold. Compare the signal strength and signal quality in the heterogeneous system measurement report with the preset signal strength threshold and preset signal quality threshold. If the signal strength and signal quality are greater than the preset threshold (the preset signal strength and signal quality threshold can be set automatically or manually by the background parameter setting program according to different communication operators and different environmental conditions), then proceed to the subsequent signal comparison; otherwise, maintain the current connection.

[0102] The purpose of performing this step is to set the signal threshold in advance to prevent frequent switching of signal connections due to the low signal quality of the current network connection, which causes unnecessary device power consumption of the UE. Only when the signal quality of the heterogeneous system base station in the heterogeneous system measurement report is higher than the threshold, the signal quality of the heterogeneous system base station is compared with the current signal base station.

[0103] When it is determined that the signal parameter of the heterosystem base station in the heterosystem measurement report is greater than a preset signal parameter threshold, a comparison of the network service quality of the heterosystem base station and the communication base station is performed; wherein the network service quality includes at least one of network speed, latency, and call quality.

[0104] If it is determined that the network service quality of the foreign system base station is better than that of the communication base station, it is determined to perform communication network switching.

[0105] If it is determined that the network service quality of the foreign system base station is not better than that of the communication base station, it is determined not to perform the communication network switching.

[0106] Please continue reading Figure 3 After determining that the signal strength and quality of the heterogeneous system are greater than the threshold, the communication base station obtains the network service quality (such as network speed, latency, call quality, etc.) that the target heterogeneous system cell can provide, and determines whether the network service quality of the heterogeneous system is better than that of the current cell.

[0107] According to the quality of service (QoS) requirements of mobile terminal services, the network service quality provided by the base station of the foreign system is compared with the network service quality of the source cell.

[0108] If the network service quality provided by the base station of the different system is better than that of the current communication base station, a switching command is issued.

[0109] If the network service quality provided by the base station of the different system is equal to that of the current communication base station, the existing connection is maintained.

[0110] If the network service quality provided by the base station of the different system is worse than that of the current communication base station, the existing connection is maintained.

[0111] The base station of the different system configures resources for the user equipment and performs switching according to the negotiated specific time, so that the user equipment can smoothly switch to the target network.

[0112] In some embodiments, the specific time of negotiation can be determined based on the time when the terminal device moves into the coverage area of ​​a base station of a different system, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0113] FIG4 is a flow chart of a method for switching a communication network provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0115] Step 201: Acquire location information based on a preset sensor, and send the location information to a communication base station.

[0116] Please continue reading Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, UE information reporting: The terminal device uses built-in sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS modules, Beidou modules, etc.) to obtain information such as the terminal device's real-time moving speed (which can be 0m / s), moving direction, and location (latitude and longitude). The terminal device reports the obtained information to the currently connected communication base station through a message.

[0117] Step 202: Receive a heterogeneous system measurement instruction sent by the communication base station, trigger heterogeneous system measurement on the heterogeneous system base station according to the heterogeneous system measurement start time in the heterogeneous system measurement instruction, and obtain a heterogeneous system measurement report.

[0118] The terminal device receives the measurement control information sent by the communication base station, and triggers the heterogeneous system measurement at the heterogeneous system measurement start time sent by the communication base station.

[0119] Step 203: Send the inter-system measurement report to the communication base station.

[0120] Step 204: Receive a communication network switching instruction sent by the communication base station, and switch to the heterogeneous system base station according to the communication network switching instruction.
