[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the Radio Resource Control Establishment Request (RROR) process, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) request establishment process may include the following steps: 1. The UE sends an RRC establishment request to the base station; 2. If the base station successfully accepts the UE, it sends a Radio Resource Control Setup (RRCSetup) message to the UE. 3. If the base station fails to accept the UE, it sends a Radio Resource Control Reject (RRCReject) message to the UE.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the switching process, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the switching process may include the following steps: 1. The UE sends a measurement report to the source base station; 2. The source base station sends a handover request message to the target base station (Note: This message is not present for intra-site handover; handover based on the NG interface requires the core network to forward this message; 3. If the target base station successfully accepts the handover, it replies with a handover confirmation message to the source base station (Note: This message is not available for intra-station handovers; handovers based on the NG interface require the core network to forward this message), and then proceeds to step 5. 4. If the target base station fails to accept the handover, it sends a handover failure message back to the source base station (Note: This message does not exist for intra-site handovers; handovers based on the NG interface require the core network to forward this message), and the process ends. 5. The source base station sends a handover reconfiguration message to the UE.

[0052] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the process for establishing a data wireless bearer, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the process for establishing a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) may include the following steps: 1. The core network sends an Initial Context Establishment Request message to the base station; 2. If DRB acceptance fails, the base station replies to the core network with an initial context establishment failure message, and the process ends; 3. If the DRB acceptance is successful, the base station sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE; 4. The UE replies with an RRC reconfiguration complete message; 5. The base station replies to the core network with an initial context establishment response message.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the admission control method under high-load scenarios provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides an admission control method under high-load scenarios, the executing entity of which can be a network device, such as a base station, core network element, etc. The method includes: Step 401: Obtain the acceptance request message sent by the target terminal UE.

[0054] Specifically, when a target UE needs to initiate a service or handover request, the target UE will send an acceptance request message to the network device to request acceptance from the network device.

[0055] The network device acquires the acceptance request message sent by the target UE.

[0056] Step 402: Determine whether the target cell can accept the target UE based on the acceptance request message.

[0057] Specifically, after obtaining the admission request message sent by the target UE, the network device determines whether the target cell can admit the target UE based on the admission request message.

[0058] The target cell can be the current serving cell of the target UE.

[0059] For example, if the target cell can provide the relevant resources for the target UE, then the target UE can be admitted and admission control will be passed.

[0060] For example, if the target cell cannot provide the relevant resources for the target UE, then the target UE cannot be admitted, and the admission control fails.

[0061] Step 403: If the target cell cannot accept the target UE, perform acceptance control based on the current location of the target UE.

[0062] Specifically, if the target cell cannot accept the target UE, acceptance control is performed based on the current location of the target UE.

[0063] After the target UE accesses the network, the network device will locate the target UE, obtain the target UE's real-time location information, generate the target UE's motion trajectory, and predict the target UE's movement trend based on the target UE's motion trajectory.

[0064] In some embodiments, the current location of the target UE may refer to the absolute location of the target UE, such as the latitude and longitude of the target UE obtained through precise calculation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the current location of the target UE may also refer to the relative location of the target UE.

[0066] For example, the current location of the target UE can be represented by the distance of the target UE from the center of the serving cell (the location of the serving base station to which the serving cell belongs).

[0067] For example, the serving cell is divided into multiple small grids, and the current location of the target UE can be represented by the grid number in which the target UE is currently located.

[0068] In some embodiments, the admission control based on the current location of the target UE includes: If the target UE is located in the center of the target cell, other UEs currently accessing the target cell will be switched to neighboring cells of the target cell; Through the acceptance request of the target UE.

[0069] Specifically, if the target UE is located in the center of the target cell, other eligible UEs located at the edge of the target cell can be switched to eligible neighboring cells to release the resources occupied by the target cell and accommodate the target UE.

[0070] Whether the target UE is located at the center of the target cell can be determined by the distance between the target UE and the center of the serving cell, or, if the serving cell is divided into multiple small grids, by the grid number in which the target UE is currently located.

[0071] In some embodiments, the measured signal quality of other UEs in the neighboring cells of the target cell is greater than a second preset threshold.

[0072] Specifically, other UEs whose measured signal quality in neighboring cells of the target cell is greater than a preset threshold can be selected for handover to ensure that other UEs can obtain better signal quality after handover. Signal quality can be measured by Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), etc. The preset threshold can be configured according to actual needs within the range specified by relevant protocols.

[0073] If multiple other UEs meet the condition that the measured signal quality in the neighboring cells of the target cell is greater than a preset threshold, then the UE that occupies more resources can be selected, or the UE whose movement trend is away from the target cell can be selected, or the UE that occupies more resources and whose movement trend is away from the target cell can be selected.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the target UE is located in the center of the target cell, other eligible UEs located at the edge of the target cell are considered to be switched to eligible neighboring cells to release the resources occupied by the target cell and accommodate the target UE. This avoids the UE being unable to access the network or switch to a suitable cell in time due to high load, thus improving the user experience.

[0075] In some embodiments, the admission control based on the current location of the target UE includes: If the target UE is located at the edge of the target cell, other UEs currently accessing the target cell will be switched to the neighboring cell of the target cell; Through the acceptance request of the target UE.

[0076] Specifically, when the target UE is at the edge of the target cell, the decision can be made based on the target UE's movement trend and the measured signal quality of the target UE in all neighboring cells of the target cell. This decision can be made to either accept the target UE (consider switching other eligible UEs at the edge of the target cell to eligible neighboring cells to release the resources occupied by the target cell and accept the target UE) or to cut off the target UE.

[0077] Whether the target UE is at the edge of the target cell can be determined by the distance between the target UE and the center of the serving cell, or, if the serving cell is divided into multiple small grids, by the grid number in which the target UE is currently located.

[0078] In some embodiments, if the target UE's movement trend is away from the center of the target cell, and there is a neighboring cell where the measured signal quality of the target UE is greater than a preset threshold, the target UE can be switched to the neighboring cell.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the target UE's movement trend is away from the center of the target cell, and there are no neighboring cells where the target UE's measured signal quality is greater than a preset threshold, but there are neighboring cells where other UEs at the edge of the target cell have measured signal quality greater than a preset threshold, other UEs can be switched to neighboring cells.

[0080] In some embodiments, if the target UE's movement trend is away from the center of the target cell, and there are no neighboring cells where the target UE's measured signal quality is greater than a preset threshold, and there are also no neighboring cells where other UEs at the edge of the target cell have measured signal quality greater than a preset threshold, then the admission control fails.

[0081] In some embodiments, if the target UE's movement trend is towards the center of the target cell, and there are neighboring cells where the measured signal quality of other UEs at the edge of the target cell is greater than a preset threshold, then other UEs can be switched to the neighboring cells.

[0082] In some embodiments, if the target UE's movement trend is towards the center of the target cell, and there are neighboring cells where the measured signal quality of the target UE is greater than a preset threshold, and there are no other neighboring cells at the edge of the target cell where the measured signal quality is greater than the preset threshold, then the target UE can be switched to a neighboring cell.

[0083] In some embodiments, if the target UE's movement trend is towards the center of the target cell, and there are no neighboring cells where the target UE's measured signal quality is greater than a preset threshold, and there are also no neighboring cells where other UEs at the edge of the target cell have measured signal quality greater than a preset threshold, then the admission control fails.

[0084] Signal quality can be measured by RSRP, SNR, etc. Preset thresholds can be configured within the range specified by the relevant protocol according to actual needs.

[0085] If multiple other UEs meet the condition that the measured signal quality in the neighboring cells of the target cell is greater than a preset threshold, then the UE that occupies more resources can be selected, or the UE whose movement trend is away from the target cell can be selected, or the UE that occupies more resources and whose movement trend is away from the target cell can be selected.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the target UE is at the edge of the target cell, other eligible UEs at the edge of the target cell can be switched to eligible neighboring cells based on the target UE's movement trend and the measured signal quality of the target UE in all neighboring cells of the target cell. This releases the resources occupied by the target cell to accommodate the target UE, avoiding the inability of the UE to access the network or switch to a suitable cell in time due to high load, thus improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, the admission control based on the current location of the target UE includes: The admission control based on the current location of the target UE includes: If the target UE is located at the edge of the target cell, the admission request of the target UE is rejected.

[0088] Specifically, when the target UE is at the edge of the target cell, priority can be given to ensuring the awareness of other UEs in the target cell, and the admission request of the target UE can be rejected.

[0089] Whether the target UE is at the edge of the target cell can be determined by the distance between the target UE and the center of the serving cell, or, if the serving cell is divided into multiple small grids, by the grid number in which the target UE is currently located.

[0090] In some embodiments, the admission request of the target UE may be rejected based on the target UE's mobility trend and the measured signal quality of the target UE in all neighboring cells of the target cell.

[0091] In some embodiments, if the target UE is located at the edge of the target cell and the target UE's movement trend is away from the center of the target cell, the admission request of the target UE is rejected.

[0092] In some embodiments, if the target UE is located at the edge of the target cell, and the target UE's movement trend is away from the center of the target cell, and there is at least one neighboring cell where the measured signal quality of the target UE is greater than a preset threshold, the admission request of the target UE is rejected.

[0093] In some embodiments, if the target UE is located at the edge of the target cell and there is at least one neighboring cell where the measured signal quality of the target UE is greater than a preset threshold, the admission request of the target UE is rejected.

[0094] In this embodiment of the application, when the target UE is at the edge of the target cell, priority is given to ensuring the awareness of other UEs in the target cell, and the admission request of the target UE is rejected. This avoids the UE being unable to access the network or switch to a suitable cell in time due to high load, thereby improving the user experience.

[0095] The methods described in the above embodiments will be further illustrated below with several specific examples.

[0096] Figure 5 This is the second flowchart illustrating the high-load scenario admission control method provided in this application embodiment, as shown below. Figure 5As shown, the area covered by the 5G base station is gridded, with a 5×5 square meter grid. The grid at the edge of the cell is marked and associated with the three neighboring cells of the grid with the strongest RSRP signal and RSRP greater than the threshold low.

[0097] 5G terminals use the positioning method specified in the protocol for location tracking. The base station knows the terminal's current location in real time and can determine if the terminal is within a marked grid. When a terminal initiates a service or needs to hand over within a cell, it performs a normal service acceptance decision. If the acceptance control decision fails, the base station determines if the terminal is currently within a marked grid. If it is, the base station, based on the three neighboring cells with the strongest RSRP signal and RSRP > threshold low, and the terminal's movement trajectory, preemptively hands the terminal to the corresponding neighboring cell. When the terminal is not within a marked grid, or if the marked grid does not have neighboring cells with RSRP > threshold low that meet the conditions, the base station considers all other terminals currently within the marked grid. Based on the service requirements of the terminal initiating the service or handing over (i.e., the amount of resources needed), it selects several other terminals (preferably fewer to meet the requirements) and preemptively hands them over to neighboring cells with RSRP > threshold low, freeing up resources for the terminal initiating the service or handing over.

[0098] The specific steps are as follows: 1. The base station rasterizes the coverage area and marks the cell edges (the grids where they meet neighboring cells); 2. The base station performs real-time positioning of the terminal to obtain its location and movement trajectory; 3. The terminal has service requirements or a switching requirement; 4. If the acceptance control is successful, proceed to step 8; 5. Failed to determine whether the terminal belongs to the marked grid through admission control; 6. If the terminal belongs to a marked grid, and the RSRP of surrounding neighboring cells is greater than the threshold low, the terminal switches to the neighboring cell with the strongest RSRP in that cell and proceeds to step 8. If there is no neighboring cell that meets the condition, proceed to step 7. 7. If a terminal does not belong to a marked grid, the base station will determine the strongest neighboring cell in the cell with RSRP > thresholdlow for other terminals that belong to the marked grid, and switch the other terminals to the strongest neighboring cell. 8. End.

[0099] This application addresses the issue of failed admission control affecting user experience under high-load scenarios, and avoids the limitation of current load balancing methods that can only handle load balancing within the same coverage area and within adjacent cells, but not between neighboring cells. Furthermore, this application offers more granular support than load balancing, enabling service provision to be tailored to individual terminals.
