The term "base station" can be any suitable term in the field, such as "station" or any other appropriate term in the relevant field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved. The term "base station" is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that the embodiments of this application only use the base station in the NR system as an example for introduction, and do not limit the specific type of base station.

[0054] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the access control technology related to this application will be described.

[0055] NR supports load-based access control functions, including Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection rejection, RRC connection release, and access barring. Before initiating a service / signaling request at the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) or Access Stratum (AS) layer, the UE must first confirm whether a specific access attempt is allowed based on the access control parameters broadcast by the network. These access control parameters are associated with the Access Category and Access Identity. If the access control check passes, the NAS or AS layer can establish NAS or AS signaling and service connections; otherwise, a certain amount of time must be waited before the access control check can be performed again.

[0056] The purpose of access control is to perform filtering operations based on two dimensions—UE type and service type—when the network is busy, so that higher-priority UEs or more important services can obtain services first.

[0057] For access requests triggered by the NAS, the NAS can determine the access category and access identity;

[0058] For access requests triggered by AS, RRC determines the access category, and NAS determines the access identifier.

[0059] The access identifier is used to represent the user's identity characteristics. It is written in the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and has a value range of 0 to 15. Among them, 4 to 10 are reserved access identifiers.

[0060] The access category identifies the service attribute of the terminal initiating access, with a value range of 0 to 63. Among them, 0 to 10 are standardized access categories, 11 to 31 are reserved standardized access categories, and 32 to 63 are access categories that can be customized by the operator.

[0061] The terminal's access control check process may include the following steps:

[0062] 1. Check if the T390 timer corresponding to the access category is running. If it is running, the access attempt is considered to be blocked.

[0063] 2. Check if the current T302 timer is running. If it is running and the access category is not 2 (i.e., emergency) or 0 (i.e., paging-triggered access), or the access category is 0, but the paging trigger is multicast service reception, then the access attempt is considered to be blocked.

[0064] The T302 timer is configured in either the RRCRelease or RRCReject message.

[0065] 3. If the access category is 0, then the access attempt is considered permitted;

[0066] 4. For other access categories, if System Information Block (SIB) 1 includes access control configurations, such as Unified Access Control (UAC) parameters (i.e., uac-BarringPerPLMN-List) or public UAC barring parameters (i.e., uac-BarringForCommon), then based on these access control configurations, it is determined whether the service corresponding to the access category and access identifier associated with this access attempt is prohibited or allowed; if SIB1 does not include access control configurations, then this access attempt is considered allowed.

[0067] 5. If an access category is blocked, start the T390 timer corresponding to that access category.

[0068] In related technologies, access control configuration is broadcast via System Information Block (SIB) 1, which only considers the load of the primary cell (PCell) and the corresponding access control restrictions. However, for terminals configured with CA, DC, or MC, the service load can be shared by the secondary cell (SCell) or the primary-secondary cell (PSCell). Therefore, it is necessary to improve the access control configuration to increase the probability of the terminal being allowed access, thereby improving the overall network resource utilization.

[0069] The access control method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0070] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an access control method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the method 200 includes at least the following:

[0071] S210, the terminal receives a first access control configuration, wherein the first access control configuration includes at least two second access control configurations, or the first access control configuration includes a third access control configuration, wherein each second access control configuration is associated with a specific cell, and the third access control configuration is sent via dedicated signaling;

[0072] S220, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the first access control configuration.

[0073] In some embodiments, the at least two access control configurations are associated with different cells.

[0074] In some embodiments, the at least two second access control configurations include two of the following:

[0075] Secondary access control configuration associated with the primary cell;

[0076] Secondary access control configuration for primary and secondary cell association;

[0077] Secondary access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0078] For example, the at least two second access control configurations include a second access control configuration associated with a PCell and a second access control configuration associated with a PSCell.

[0079] For example, the at least two second access control configurations include a second access control configuration associated with PCell and a second access control configuration associated with SCell.

[0080] For example, the at least two second access control configurations include a second access control configuration associated with PCell, a second access control configuration associated with PSCell, and a second access control configuration associated with SCell.

[0081] Optionally, the granularity of the second access control configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0082] Access control configuration associated with the PLMN;

[0083] Access control configuration associated with the access category.

[0084] Optionally, the second access control configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0085] The first parameter, denoted as uac-BarringFactor, is used to indicate the probability threshold of the access control parameters.

[0086] The second parameter, denoted as uac-BarringTime, indicates the waiting time for re-initiating an access attempt after access control is disabled.

[0087] The access identifier associated with the access control configuration is denoted as uac-BarringForAccessIdentity.

[0088] Optionally, the at least two second access control configurations may be sent via RRC messages, such as via RRC reconfiguration messages.

[0089] Optionally, the secondary access control configuration associated with the primary cell is included in the special cell configuration (SpCellConfig).

[0090] Optionally, the secondary access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is included in SpCellConfig.

[0091] Optionally, the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is included in the secondary cell configuration (SCellConfig).

[0092] Optionally, the SpCellConfig used to carry the second access control configuration for the association between the primary cell and the secondary cell can be as follows:

[0093] Optionally, the SCellConfig used to carry the second access control configuration for secondary cell association can be as follows:

[0094] Among them, uac-BarringInfo can be used to carry the second access control configuration, which includes PLMN-level access control configuration (i.e., UAC-BarringPerPLMN-List) and access category-level access control configuration (i.e., UAC-BarringPerCatList).

[0095] The UAC-BarringInfoSetList can include the following parameters:

[0096] In some embodiments, each of the at least two second access control configurations includes independent access control parameters. The access control parameters included in each second access control configuration may be the same or different, where different can refer to different parameter values.

[0097] The access control parameters in this application embodiment may include at least one of uac-BarringFactor, uac-BarringTime, and uac-BarringForAccessIdentity.

[0098] For example, the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell includes the first access control parameter, and the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell includes the second access control parameter, wherein the second access control parameter is the same as or different from the first access control parameter.

[0099] Optionally, the first access control parameters include uac-BarringFactor-1, uac-BarringTime-1, and uac-BarringForAccessIdentity-1, and the second access control parameters include uac-BarringFactor-2, uac-BarringTime-2, and uac-BarringForAccessIdentity-2.

[0100] Optionally, the first access control parameter is more lenient than the second access control parameter. For example, uac-BarringFactor-1 is less than uac-BarringFactor-2, or uac-BarringTime-1 is greater than uac-BarringTime-2.

[0101] In other words, the terminal performs access control based on the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell, which helps to improve the success rate of the terminal being allowed to access and reduce access latency.

[0102] In other embodiments, the number of access control parameters that may be included in the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell may differ from the number of access control parameters that may be included in the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell. For example, the second access control parameters associated with the primary cell may include more access control parameters, while the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell may include fewer access control parameters.

[0103] For example, the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell includes the third access control parameter, while the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell does not include the third access control parameter.

[0104] Optionally, the third access control parameter may include uac-BarringFactor and / or uac-BarringTime.

[0105] In other words, some access control parameters can be configured only in the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell, while other access control parameters can be configured per cell, such as uac-BarringForAccessIdentity. In this way, if the terminal determines that the access attempt is prohibited based on the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the terminal determines that the access attempt is allowed based on the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell, thereby improving the success rate of the terminal being allowed to access and reducing access latency.

[0106] In some embodiments of this application, the method 200 further includes:

[0107] When the primary and secondary cells are released or deactivated, the terminal releases or deactivates the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells; or

[0108] When the secondary cell is released or deactivated, the terminal releases or deactivates the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0109] When a primary or secondary cell is released or deactivated, it can be assumed that the terminal no longer transmits services through that primary or secondary cell. In other words, the primary or secondary cell no longer shares the service load of the primary cell. Therefore, the terminal can release or deactivate the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell, and thus no longer perform access control according to the second access control configuration associated with the primary or secondary cell.

[0110] When a secondary cell is released or deactivated, it can be assumed that the terminal no longer transmits services through that secondary cell, meaning that the secondary cell no longer shares the service load of the primary cell. Therefore, the terminal can release or deactivate the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, i.e., it no longer performs access control according to the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0111] Optionally, when the primary and secondary cells are not released or activated, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells. Alternatively, when the primary and secondary cells are deactivated, the terminal can ignore or disregard the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, that is, it does not determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells.

[0112] Optionally, when the secondary cell is not released or activated, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell. Alternatively, when the secondary cell is deactivated, the terminal can ignore or disregard the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, that is, it does not determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0113] Optionally, when performing access control, the terminal may only consider the second access control configuration associated with the active primary and secondary cells. When the primary and secondary cells are deactivated, the terminal may ignore or not consider the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells. Alternatively, the terminal may only consider the second access control configuration associated with the active secondary cells. When the secondary cells are deactivated, the terminal may ignore or not consider the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cells.

[0114] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the first access control configuration, it only considers the second access control configuration associated with the cell that is in an active state.

[0115] For example, if the first primary and secondary cell is active but the second access control configuration associated with the first primary and secondary cell is not configured, or the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the first primary and secondary cell, it means that the first primary and secondary cell can share the service load of the primary cell. In this case, the terminal can consider the access attempt to be allowed, which is conducive to increasing the probability of the terminal being allowed to access and reducing access latency.

[0116] For example, if the first secondary cell is active but the second access control configuration associated with the first secondary cell is not configured, or the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the first secondary cell, it means that the first secondary cell can share the service load of the primary cell. In this case, the terminal can consider the access attempt to be allowed, which is conducive to increasing the probability of the terminal being allowed to access and reducing access latency.

[0117] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the first access control configuration, including:

[0118] Obtain at least one of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, based on the first access control configuration or the system information block of the primary cell;

[0119] Based on the acquisition of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, it is determined whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed.

[0120] For example, if the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, or the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is not obtained, it is determined that the access attempt is allowed.

[0121] For example, if the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell are obtained, it is determined whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0122] Optionally, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the acquisition status of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the active primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the active secondary cell.

[0123] For example, if the active cells include a primary cell and a secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the availability of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the secondary cell. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is not obtained. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell is not obtained. Optionally, if the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell and the primary cell are obtained, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell and the primary cell.

[0124] For example, if the active cells include a primary cell and a secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the availability of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is not obtained. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell is not obtained. Optionally, if both the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell are obtained, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on these configurations.

[0125] For example, if the active cells include a primary cell, a primary-secondary cell, and a secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the availability of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the primary-secondary cell, and the secondary cell. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is not obtained. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the primary-secondary cell is not obtained. Optionally, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is allowed even if the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell is not obtained. Optionally, if the target access control configurations associated with the primary-secondary cell, the secondary cell, and the primary cell are obtained, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on these configurations.

[0126] Therefore, in the embodiments of the application, the terminal considers the access control configurations of multiple cells when attempting access, which helps to increase the probability that the terminal's access attempt is allowed. For example, if the target access control configurations associated with the primary cell, primary secondary cell, and secondary cell are obtained, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the target access control configurations associated with the primary cell, primary secondary cell, and secondary cell. Alternatively, if the target access control configurations associated with any of the primary cell, primary secondary cell, or secondary cell are not obtained, the terminal can consider the access attempt allowed, which helps to increase the probability that the terminal is allowed to access and reduce access latency.

[0127] It should be understood that the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, secondary cell, or primary and secondary cell can be considered as an access control configuration used to determine whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted.

[0128] In some embodiments, obtaining the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell based on the first access control configuration or the system information block of the primary cell includes:

[0129] If the first access control configuration includes the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell shall be used as the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell; or

[0130] If the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell, and the system information block of the primary cell includes an access control configuration, then the access control configuration included in the system information block shall be used as the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell; or

[0131] If the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell, and the system information block of the primary cell does not include access control configuration, it is determined that the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell has not been obtained.

[0132] That is, if the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell is configured, the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell can be considered as the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell. Alternatively, if the second access control configuration associated with the primary cell is not configured but the system information block of the primary cell broadcasts the access control configuration, the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell can be considered as the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell. Otherwise, if the terminal determines that it has not obtained the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, it can be considered that the access attempt is allowed.

[0133] In some embodiments, obtaining the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells based on the first access control configuration or the system information block of the primary cell includes:

[0134] When the first access control configuration includes the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is used as the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells; or

[0135] If the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, it is determined that the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells has not been obtained.

[0136] That is, if the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is configured, it can be considered that the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells. Alternatively, if the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is not configured, the terminal can consider that this access attempt is allowed.

[0137] Optionally, when the primary and secondary cells are in an active state, the terminal can obtain the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells based on the first access control configuration. When the primary and secondary cells are in a deactivated state, the terminal does not consider the second access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells.

[0138] In some embodiments, obtaining the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell based on the first access control configuration or the system information block of the primary cell includes:

[0139] When the first access control configuration includes the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is used as the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell; or

[0140] If the first access control configuration does not include the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, it is determined that the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell has not been obtained.

[0141] That is, if the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is configured, the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell can be considered as the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell. Alternatively, if the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is not configured, the terminal can consider this access attempt to be allowed.

[0142] Optionally, when the secondary cell is in an active state, the terminal can obtain the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell based on the first access control configuration. When the secondary cell is in a deactivated state, the terminal does not consider the second access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0143] In some embodiments, determining whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell includes:

[0144] If, based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, it is determined that the access attempt is prohibited, and a first timer is started. During the execution of the first timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be prohibited, or an access attempt of the same access category as the access attempt to be prohibited; or

[0145] If it is determined that the access attempt is permitted based on at least one of the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, then the access attempt is permitted.

[0146] For example, when the active cells include a primary cell, a primary secondary cell, and a secondary cell, and the terminal obtains the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary secondary cell, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary secondary cell, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0147] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, including:

[0148] If, based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, it is determined that the access attempt is prohibited, and a first timer is started. During the execution of the first timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be prohibited, or an access attempt of the same access category as the access attempt to be prohibited; or

[0149] If it is determined that the access attempt is permitted based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell or the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, then the access attempt is permitted.

[0150] For example, when an active cell includes a primary cell and a secondary cell, and the terminal obtains the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, it can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0151] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, including:

[0152] If, based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, it is determined that the access attempt is prohibited, and a first timer is started. During the execution of the first timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be prohibited, or an access attempt of the same access category as the access attempt to be prohibited; or

[0153] If it is determined that the access attempt is permitted based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell or the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, then the access attempt is permitted.

[0154] For example, when an active cell includes a primary cell and a secondary cell, and the terminal obtains the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell.

[0155] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, primary secondary cell, or secondary cell.

[0156] For example, the access attempt is determined to be blocked or allowed based on the access identifier associated with the access attempt and the UAC-BarringInfoSet in the target access control configuration (including uac-BarringFactor, uac-BarringTime, uac-BarringForAccessIdentity).

[0157] For example, the terminal can select the UAC-BarringInfoSet associated with the selected PLMN or access type in the target access control configuration based on the selected PLMN or access category, and determine whether the access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the access identifier associated with the access attempt and the UAC-BarringInfoSet associated with the PLMN or access type.

[0158] Optionally, for a specific access identifier (e.g., 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15), the terminal can determine whether the corresponding bit in the bitmap of uac-BarringForAccessIdentity is 0. If it is 0, it means that the access identifier is not blocked, and the access attempt is considered to be allowed.

[0159] Optionally, for access identifier 3, first generate a random number between 0 and 1, then compare the random number with the uac-BarringFactor corresponding to access identifier 3. If the random number is smaller, the access attempt is considered allowed; otherwise, the access attempt is considered prohibited.

[0160] Optionally, for other access identifiers, first generate a random number between 0 and 1, then compare the random number with the uac-BarringFactor. If the random number is smaller, the access attempt is considered allowed; otherwise, the access attempt is considered blocked.

[0161] In some embodiments, the duration of the first timer is determined based on the minimum duration determined by the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell. Determining the duration of the first timer based on this minimum duration helps the terminal reduce the waiting time for its next access attempt, ensuring rapid service transmission and improving system resource utilization.

[0162] Optionally, the first timer can be a T390 timer.

[0163] For example, a first duration can be determined based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell, a second duration can be determined based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells, and a third duration can be determined based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell. The first duration can be considered as the waiting time for re-initiating an access attempt when the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell is denied access, the second duration can be considered as the waiting time for re-initiating an access attempt when the target access control configuration associated with the primary and secondary cells is denied access, and the third duration can be considered as the waiting time for re-initiating an access attempt when the target access control configuration associated with the secondary cell is denied access.

[0164] Optionally, the duration of the first timer can be the minimum duration among a first duration, a second duration, and a third duration. Determining the duration of the first timer based on the minimum waiting duration among multiple waiting durations determined by the second access control configuration helps reduce the waiting time for the terminal to re-initiate access attempts.

[0165] Optionally, taking the first duration as an example, the calculation method for determining the first duration based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell is explained. The calculation methods for the second and third durations are similar and will not be repeated here. For example, when an access attempt is denied, the terminal generates a random number between 0 and 1. The first duration can be calculated based on this random number and the uac-BarringTime in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell. For example, the first duration can be equal to (0.7 + 0.6 * rand) * uac-BarringTime, where rand represents the generated random number, and this first duration is associated with a specific access category.

[0166] For example, the duration of the first timer can be determined based on the minimum uac-BarringTime among the target access control configurations associated with the primary cell, the primary and secondary cells, and the secondary cell. For instance, when an access attempt is denied, the terminal generates a random number between 0 and 1. The duration of the first timer can be calculated as (0.7 + 0.6 * rand) * uac-BarringTime_min, where rand represents the generated random number, and uac-BarringTime_min represents the minimum uac-BarringTime among the target access control configurations associated with the primary cell, the primary and secondary cells, and the secondary cell. Determining the duration of the first timer based on the minimum uac-BarringTime among multiple second access control configurations helps reduce the waiting time for the terminal to re-initiate an access attempt.

[0167] In some embodiments, the duration of the first timer is determined based on the duration determined by the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell.

[0168] For example, if uac-BarringTime is configured in the target access control configuration associated only with the primary cell, the terminal can determine the duration of the first timer based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell.

[0169] In some embodiments, the third access control configuration is configured via dedicated signaling, which may optionally include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0170] RRC handover command, RRC reconfiguration message for adding primary and secondary cells, and RRC reconfiguration message for adding secondary cells.

[0171] Optionally, the granularity of the third access control configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0172] Access control configuration associated with the PLMN;

[0173] Access control configuration associated with the access category.

[0174] Optionally, the third access control configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0175] The first parameter, denoted as uac-BarringFactor, is used to indicate the probability threshold of the access control parameters.

[0176] The second parameter, denoted as uac-BarringTime, indicates the waiting time for re-initiating an access attempt after access control is disabled.

[0177] The access identifier associated with the access control configuration is denoted as uac-BarringForAccessIdentity.

[0178] In some embodiments, the access control parameters in the third access control configuration and the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell may be the same or different.

[0179] Optionally, the access control parameters in the third access control configuration are more lenient than those in the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell. For example, the uac-BarringTime in the third access control configuration is less than the uac-BarringTime in the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell, and the uac-BarringFactor in the third access control configuration is greater than the uac-BarringFactor in the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0180] In other words, compared to access control based on broadcast-based access control configuration, access control based on access control configuration indicated by dedicated signaling by the terminal is more likely to be allowed access and reduces access latency.

[0181] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the first access control configuration, including:

[0182] When a third access control configuration is configured, it is determined whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the third access control configuration; or

[0183] In the absence of a third access control configuration, the access attempt is determined to be prohibited or permitted based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0184] That is, if there is an access control configuration indicated by dedicated signaling, the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration indicated by dedicated signaling; or if there is no access control configuration indicated by dedicated signaling, the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the main cell.

[0185] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is prohibited or permitted based on the first access control configuration, including:

[0186] If the third access control configuration is configured and the first condition is met, the terminal determines, based on the third access control configuration, whether the access attempt is prohibited or permitted; or

[0187] If the third access control configuration is configured and the first condition is not met, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell; or

[0188] In the absence of the third access configuration, the access attempt is determined to be prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0189] Optionally, if the first condition is met, it can be assumed that there are auxiliary cells and / or primary and auxiliary cells that can share the service load of the primary cell. Therefore, the terminal's service can be shared through auxiliary cells and / or primary and auxiliary cells. In this case, relaxing access control based on the third access control configuration can increase the probability of the terminal being allowed to access and reduce access latency without increasing the load of the primary cell.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0191] There are configured primary and secondary cells;

[0192] There are configured secondary cells;

[0193] There are configured primary and secondary cells and secondary cells;

[0194] There exists a specific number (e.g., greater than a specific threshold) of configured primary and secondary cells;

[0195] There is a specific number (e.g., more than a specific threshold) of configured secondary cells;

[0196] There exists a specific number (e.g., greater than a specific threshold) of configured primary and secondary cells;

[0197] There are primary and secondary cells in an active state;

[0198] There are auxiliary cells that are in an active state;

[0199] There are primary and secondary cells and secondary cells that are in an active state;

[0200] There exists a specific number (e.g., more than a specific threshold) of primary and secondary cells in an active state;

[0201] There are a certain number (e.g., more than a certain threshold) of secondary cells in an active state;

[0202] There are a specific number (e.g., more than a specific threshold) of primary and secondary cells that are in an active state.

[0203] For example, if the first condition includes the existence of an active primary or secondary cell, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the third access control configuration if the terminal is configured with the third access control configuration and an active primary or secondary cell exists; or, if the terminal is configured with the third access control configuration but no active primary or secondary cell exists, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell; or, if the third access control configuration is not configured, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0204] For example, if the first condition includes the existence of a specific number of active primary or secondary cells, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the third access control configuration when the terminal is configured with the third access control configuration and there are a specific number of active primary or secondary cells. Alternatively, if the terminal is configured with the third access control configuration but there are no active primary or secondary cells or the number of active primary or secondary cells is less than a specific threshold, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell. Or, if the third access control configuration is not configured, the terminal can determine whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0205] In some embodiments, determining whether an access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the third access control configuration includes:

[0206] If the access attempt is determined to be blocked according to the third access control configuration, the access attempt is blocked, and a second timer is started, wherein during the execution of the second timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be blocked, or an access attempt of the same access category associated with the access attempt to be blocked; or

[0207] If the access attempt is determined to be permitted according to the third access control configuration, then the access attempt is determined to be permitted.

[0208] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine whether an access attempt is blocked or allowed based on access control parameters in a third access control configuration.

[0209] For example, the access attempt is determined to be blocked or allowed based on the access identifier associated with the access attempt and the UAC-BarringInfoSet in the third access control configuration (e.g., including uac-BarringFactor, uac-BarringTime, uac-BarringForAccessIdentity).

[0210] For example, the terminal can select the UAC-BarringInfoSet associated with the selected PLMN or access type in the third access control configuration based on the selected PLMN or access category, and determine whether the access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the access identifier associated with the access attempt and the UAC-BarringInfoSet associated with the PLMN or access type.

[0211] Optionally, for a specific access identifier (e.g., 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15), the terminal can determine whether the corresponding bit in the bitmap of uac-BarringForAccessIdentity is 0. If it is 0, it means that the access identifier is not blocked, and the access attempt is considered to be allowed.

[0212] Optionally, for access identifier 3, first generate a random number between 0 and 1, then compare the random number with the uac-BarringFactor corresponding to access identifier 3. If the random number is smaller, the access attempt is considered allowed; otherwise, the access attempt is considered prohibited.

[0213] Optionally, for other access identifiers, first generate a random number between 0 and 1, then compare the random number with the uac-BarringFactor. If the random number is smaller, the access attempt is considered allowed; otherwise, the access attempt is considered blocked.

[0214] In some embodiments, the duration of the second timer is determined based on the access control parameters in the third access control configuration.

[0215] Optionally, the second timer can be a T390 timer.

[0216] For example, when the terminal determines that an access attempt is blocked based on the third access control configuration, the terminal generates a random number between 0 and 1. The duration of the second timer can be calculated based on this random number and the uac-BarringTime in the target access control configuration associated with the primary cell. For example, the duration of the second timer can be equal to (0.7 + 0.6 * rand) * uac-BarringTime, where rand represents the generated random number, and the second timer is associated with a specific access category.

[0217] In some embodiments, receiving the first access control configuration by the terminal may include:

[0218] The terminal receives a first access control configuration from a first network-side device, such as at least two second access control configurations or a third access control configuration.

[0219] Optionally, the first network-side device may be the terminal's serving base station.

[0220] Optionally, the first access control configuration may be determined by the first network-side device, or it may be obtained from the second network-side device, or it may be generated based on the access control configuration obtained from the second network-side device.

[0221] Optionally, the second network-side device can be a neighboring base station of the terminal. For example, a base station associated with a primary or secondary cell, or a base station associated with a secondary cell.

[0222] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, the method 200 further includes:

[0223] S201, the first network-side device sends a first request message to the second network-side device, the first request message being used to request access control configuration;

[0224] S202, the first network-side device receives first response information from the second network-side device.

[0225] S203, the first network-side device obtains the first access control configuration based on the first response information.

[0226] Furthermore, the first network-side device can send the first access control configuration to the terminal.

[0227] Optionally, the first request information includes at least one of the following:

[0228] The response type (or report type) of the access control configuration;

[0229] The list of cell identifiers for which access control configuration is requested, i.e., which cells' access control configuration is requested.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first response information may include at least one of the following:

[0231] Cell identifier, optionally, may be a cell identifier from the cell identifier list in the first request information;

[0232] Second access control configuration.

[0233] Therefore, the second network-side device can provide the first network-side device with a second access control configuration according to the cell identifier list, thereby enabling the on-demand acquisition of the second access control configuration for a specific cell, which is beneficial for timely and efficient acquisition of the access control configuration of neighboring base stations. Optionally, the response type of the access control configuration can be used to indicate periodic responses (or periodic reports), or event-based responses (or event reports). That is, the second network-side device can periodically provide the first network-side device with access control configurations associated with a specific cell, or provide access control configurations associated with a specific cell to the first network-side device based on events.

[0234] Optionally, if the response type requested by the first request information is a periodic response, the first request information may also indicate the response period (or reporting period).

[0235] Optionally, if the response type requested by the first request information is an event-based response, the first request information may also indicate the event type. In this case, when the event occurs, the second network-side device may report the access control configuration associated with the specific cell to the first network-side device.

[0236] Optionally, the first response information may also include a third access control configuration.

[0237] Optionally, the first response information may also include a fifth access control configuration, and the second or third access control configuration may be determined based on the fifth access control configuration.

[0238] It should be noted that, in the application embodiments, the first network-side device can directly provide the access control configuration provided by the second network-side device to the terminal, or it can process the access control configuration provided by the second network-side device and provide the processed access control configuration to the terminal.

[0239] For example, the second network-side device sends the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the access control configuration associated with cell 2 to the first network-side device. The first network-side device can configure the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the access control configuration associated with cell 2 as the second access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the second access control configuration associated with cell 2, and then configure them to the terminal. Alternatively, it can determine the third access control configuration based on the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the access control configuration associated with cell 2. For example, it can determine the access control parameters in the three access control configurations based on the access control parameters in the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the access control configuration associated with cell 2. For instance, it can use the higher UAC- parameter from the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and the access control configuration associated with cell 2. As the UAC-BarringFactor in the third access control configuration, the smaller UAC-BarringTime in the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and cell 2 is used as the UAC-BarringTime in the third access control configuration. The intersection of UAC-BarringForAccessIdentity in the access control configuration associated with cell 1 and cell 2 is used as the UAC-BarringForAccessIdentity in the third access control configuration. In this way, when the terminal is configured according to the third access control configuration, it is beneficial to increase the probability of the terminal being allowed access and reduce access latency.

[0240] In some embodiments of this application, the method 200 further includes:

[0241] The terminal receives first indication information, which is used to indicate an access control configuration that ignores broadcasts.

[0242] Optionally, the first indication information can be sent via broadcast, such as via a broadcast message of the main cell, or via dedicated signaling. That is, the first indication information can be directed to all terminals in the cell, or it can be configured perUE.

[0243] Optionally, upon receiving the first indication information, the terminal may determine whether the access attempt is allowed or denied based on the first access control configuration.

[0244] For example, after obtaining the first access control configuration, the first network-side device may send the first indication information to the terminal. For example, the first indication information may be sent to the terminal after S203, or after sending the first access control configuration to the terminal.

[0245] The access control method provided in this application embodiment is described below from the perspective of device interaction, with reference to Figures 4 and 5. In the example of Figure 4, the first access control configuration includes at least two second access control configurations. In the example of Figure 5, the first access control configuration includes a third access control configuration.

[0246] As shown in Figure 4, the access control method may include at least some of the following steps:

[0247] S301, the first network-side device sends at least two second access control configurations to the terminal, each second access control configuration being associated with a specific cell.

[0248] The specific implementation of the at least two second access control configurations is described in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0249] For terminals configured with CA / DC / MC, the network-side equipment configures access control settings associated with multiple cells for the terminal. This allows the terminal to consider the access control requirements of multiple cells when performing access control checks, which helps to increase the probability of the terminal being allowed access and reduce access latency.

[0250] S302, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the at least two second access control configurations.

[0251] Step 1: The terminal first checks whether the T390 timer corresponding to the selected access category is running. If it is running, the terminal considers the access attempt to be blocked.

[0252] Step 2: The terminal checks whether the T302 timer is currently running. If it is running and the access category is not 2 or 0, or the access category is 0 but the paging triggers multicast service reception, then the access attempt is considered to be blocked.

[0253] Step 3: If the access category is 0, then the access attempt is considered allowed.

[0254] Step 4: For other access categories, the following steps can be performed:

[0255] Step 4.1: If a second access control configuration associated with PCell is configured, the terminal uses the second access control configuration associated with PCell as the target access control configuration associated with PCell.

[0256] Step 4.2: If the second access control configuration associated with PCell is not configured, but PCell's SIB1 includes an access control configuration, then the access control configuration in SIB1 is used as the target access control configuration associated with PCell.

[0257] Step 4.3: If the second access control configuration associated with PCell is not configured, and the access control configuration is not included in SIB1 of PCell, then the access attempt is considered to be allowed.

[0258] Step 4.4: If a second access control configuration associated with PSCell is configured, the terminal uses the second access control configuration associated with PSCell as the target access control configuration associated with PSCell.

[0259] Step 4.5: If no second access control configuration associated with the PSCell is configured, the access attempt is considered permitted. Optionally, the terminal only considers the second access control configuration associated with the active PSCell; that is, when the PSCell is in an inactive state, the terminal ignores / does not consider the second access control configuration associated with the PSCell.

[0260] Step 4.6: If a second access control configuration associated with SCell is configured, the terminal uses the second access control configuration associated with SCell as the target access control configuration associated with SCell.

[0261] Step 4.7: If no second access control configuration associated with the SCell is configured, the access attempt is considered permitted. Optionally, the terminal only considers the second access control configuration associated with the active SCell; that is, when the SCell is inactive, the terminal ignores / does not consider the second access control configuration associated with the SCell.

[0262] Step 4.8: In the target access control configuration associated with PCell, PSCell, and SCell, the terminal selects the corresponding access control parameter (e.g., UAC-BarringInfoSet) based on the PLMN or access category selected by the terminal, and determines whether the access attempt is allowed or denied based on the access control parameter.

[0263] For example, if it is determined that all access attempts are prohibited based on the corresponding access control parameters in each target access control configuration, then the access attempt is considered prohibited, and a first timer is started. During the operation of the first timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be prohibited, or the access attempt of the same access category associated with the access attempt to be prohibited.

[0264] Optionally, the length of the first timer can be the minimum length determined based on the access control parameters in the target access control configuration associated with PCell, the target access control configuration associated with PSCell, and the target access control configuration associated with SCell. Using the minimum waiting time determined based on multiple second access control configurations as the length of the first timer helps to reduce the waiting time for the terminal to re-initiate access attempts.

[0265] For example, if it is determined that the access attempt is permitted based on one or more of the target access control configurations associated with the PCell, the PSCell, and the SCell, the terminal considers the access attempt permitted.

[0266] Therefore, in the application embodiment, the terminal considers the access control configuration of multiple cells during access control checks, which helps to increase the probability that the terminal's access attempt is allowed.

[0267] Step 303: If the terminal considers the access attempt to be permitted, the terminal initiates an access request to the first network-side device, for example, by sending an uplink information transfer (ULInformationTransfer) signaling.

[0268] Step 304: The first network-side device forwards the access request to the third network-side device, for example, by sending an UplinkNAS Transport signaling message.

[0269] As shown in Figure 5, the access control method may include at least some of the following steps:

[0270] S311, the first network-side device sends the third access control configuration to the terminal.

[0271] Optionally, the third access control configuration can be configured via dedicated signaling, such as RRC handover commands or RRC reconfiguration messages.

[0272] The specific implementation of the third access control configuration is described in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0273] S312, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the third access control configuration.

[0274] Step 1: The terminal first checks whether the T390 timer corresponding to the selected access category is running. If it is running, the terminal considers the access attempt to be blocked.

[0275] Step 2: The terminal checks whether the T302 timer is currently running. If it is running and the access category is not 2 or 0, or the access category is 0 but the paging triggers multicast service reception, then the access attempt is considered to be blocked.

[0276] Step 3: If the access category is 0, then the access attempt is considered allowed.

[0277] Step 4: For other access categories, the following steps can be performed:

[0278] For example, in the third access control configuration, the terminal selects the corresponding access control parameter (e.g., UAC-BarringInfoSet) based on the PLMN or access category selected by the terminal, and determines whether the access attempt is allowed or prohibited based on the access control parameter.

[0279] For example, if it is determined that all access attempts are prohibited according to the corresponding access control parameters in the third access control configuration, then the access attempt is considered prohibited, and a second timer is started. During the operation of the second timer, the terminal considers the access attempt to be prohibited, or the access attempt of the same access category associated with the access attempt to be prohibited.

[0280] Optionally, the length of the second timer can be determined based on the access control parameters in the third access control configuration.

[0281] For example, if the third access control configuration determines that the access attempt is allowed, the terminal considers the access attempt to be allowed.

[0282] Therefore, in the embodiments of the application, for terminals configured with CA / DC / MC, a dedicated access control configuration can be used for access control. This dedicated access control configuration can have more lenient access control parameters than the broadcast access control configuration, thereby increasing the probability that the terminal is allowed access during access control checks.

[0283] S313, if the terminal believes that the access attempt is allowed, the terminal initiates an access request to the first network-side device, for example, by sending an uplink information transfer (ULInformationTransfer) signaling.

[0284] S314, the first network-side device forwards the access request to the third network-side device, for example, by sending an Uplink NAS Transport signaling message.

[0285] In summary, terminals can perform access control based on access control configurations associated with multiple cells, or through dedicated access control configurations. This allows terminals to consider access control configurations associated with multiple cells or dedicated access control configurations that are more lenient than broadcast access control configurations when performing access checks, which helps increase the probability of terminals being allowed access.

[0286] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of another access control method provided in this application. As shown in Figure 6, the method 400 may include:

[0287] S410, the terminal receives first indication information from the network-side device, the first indication information being used to indicate an access control configuration that ignores broadcasts;

[0288] S420, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the first indication information and the broadcast access control configuration.

[0289] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether an access attempt is blocked or allowed based on the first indication information and the broadcast access control configuration, including:

[0290] Upon receiving the first indication information, the terminal determines that the access attempt is permitted; or

[0291] Upon receiving the first indication information and meeting the second condition, the terminal determines that the access attempt is permitted; or

[0292] If the terminal receives the first indication information but does not meet the second condition, it determines whether the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast.

[0293] Optionally, the broadcast access control configuration can be the access control configuration broadcast in the primary cell, such as the access control configuration broadcast in SIB1 of the primary cell.

[0294] That is, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal can directly determine that the access attempt is allowed when the network-side device indicates that the access control configuration ignores the broadcast, or determine that the access attempt is allowed when certain conditions are met, which is beneficial to increasing the probability that the terminal's access attempt is allowed.

[0295] In some embodiments, the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0296] There are configured primary and secondary cells;

[0297] There are configured secondary cells;

[0298] There are configured primary and secondary cells and secondary cells;

[0299] There is a specific number of configured primary and secondary cells;

[0300] There is a specific number of configured secondary cells;

[0301] There is a specific number of configured primary and secondary cells and secondary cells;

[0302] There are primary and secondary cells in an active state;

[0303] There are auxiliary cells that are in an active state;

[0304] There are primary and secondary cells and secondary cells that are in an active state;

[0305] There exists a specific number of primary and secondary cells that are in an active state;

[0306] There exists a specific number of secondary cells that are in an active state;

[0307] There exists a specific number of primary and secondary cells and secondary cells that are in an active state.

[0308] For example, if the second condition includes the existence of an active primary or secondary cell, the terminal can directly determine that the access attempt is allowed if it receives the first indication information and an active primary or secondary cell exists; or, if it receives the first indication information but no active primary or secondary cell exists, it can determine that the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell; or, if it does not receive the first indication information, it can determine that the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0309] For example, if the second condition includes the existence of a specific number of active primary or secondary cells, the terminal can directly determine that the access attempt is allowed if it receives the first indication information and there are a specific number of active primary or secondary cells. Alternatively, if the terminal receives the first indication information but there are no active primary or secondary cells or the number of active primary or secondary cells is less than a specific threshold, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell. Or, if the terminal does not receive the first indication information, the terminal can determine that the access attempt is prohibited or allowed based on the access control configuration broadcast by the primary cell.

[0310] Optionally, the first indication information can be sent via broadcast, such as via a broadcast message of the main cell, or via dedicated signaling. That is, the first indication information can be directed to all terminals in the cell, or it can be configured perUE.

[0311] Optionally, for terminals configured with CA and / or DC and / or MC, the network-side device can instruct the terminal to ignore the broadcast access control configuration in specific scenarios. For example, the network-side device can prohibit access attempts associated with a specific access category and access identifier based on the load of the primary cell, but the primary or secondary cell may allow access attempts associated with a specific access category and access identifier. In this case, instructing the terminal to ignore the broadcast access control configuration helps to solve the problem of the terminal being unable to access in this scenario, increases the probability of the terminal being allowed to access, and improves the overall resource utilization of the system.

[0312] The access control method provided in this application embodiment is described below from the perspective of device interaction, with reference to Figure 7. As shown in Figure 7, it may include the following steps:

[0313] S401, the first network-side device sends a first indication message to the terminal to indicate the access control configuration of ignoring broadcasts.

[0314] Optionally, the first network-side device may be the terminal's serving base station.

[0315] S402, the terminal determines whether the access attempt is allowed or denied based on the first indication information and the broadcast access control configuration. The specific determination method is described in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here for brevity.

[0316] S403, if the terminal believes that the access attempt is allowed, the terminal initiates an access request to the first network-side device, for example, by sending an uplink information transfer (ULInformationTransfer) signaling.

[0317] S404, the first network-side device forwards the access request to the third network-side device, for example, by sending an Uplink NAS Transport signaling.

[0318] In summary, in the embodiments of this application, when a terminal is configured with CA and / or DC and / or MC, the network-side device can instruct the terminal to ignore the broadcast access control configuration under specific circumstances. The terminal can directly determine that the current access attempt is allowed based on the ignore instruction to ignore the broadcast access control configuration during access control checks, or the access attempt is allowed under specific conditions. This is beneficial to increasing the probability that the terminal is allowed to access and to improving the overall resource utilization of the system.
