Background technology
3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner program) proposed to need to support a kind of MTC (Machine TypeCommunications in the agreement with time tolerance characteristic, machine class communication) device has the transmission that the MTC device of this attribute can delayed data.
This functional purpose is that when the Radio Access Network overload Virtual network operator can stop the MTC equipment with time tolerance characteristic to be linked in the network.
About this characteristic, 3GPP has defined following demand:
(1) Virtual network operator can limit MTC equipment and is linked in the network;
(2) Virtual network operator can be used this restriction within the specific limits;
Whether (3) MTC equipment can determine when that it is limited being linked in the network, initiate or the delayed data transmission as the information decision that provides according to network;
(4) have only when the MTC server to the MTC equipment transmission data, and MTC equipment is owing to when network limited and unreachable, need return an inaccessible indication of MTC equipment to the MTC server.
At LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) can comprise IE (the Information Element of ac-BarringInfo in the system broadcast message of system (SIB2), information unit), when the overload of a certain sub-district wishes that limiting terminal is linked into network, ac-BarringInfo IE in can system broadcast message is set to suitable value, allows terminal not initiate to connect.
Detailed process is as follows:
Ac-BarringInfo can comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Signaling and two IE of ac-BarringForMO-Data, wherein, ac-BarringFor MO-Signaling represents that because the access that the connection that the terminal that signaling triggers is initiatively initiated is set up limits ac-BarringFor MO-Data represents because the access restriction that the connection that the terminal of data-triggered is initiatively initiated is set up.
These two IE of ac-BarringForMO-Signaling and ac-BarringFor MO-Data can comprise following amount of information:
ac-BarringFactor?ENUMERATED{
p00,p05,p10,p15,p20,p25,p30,p40,
p50,p60,p70,p75,p80,p85,p90,p95},
ac-BarringTime?ENUMERATED{s4,s8,s16,s32,s64,s128,s256,s512},
ac-BarringForSpecialAC?BIT?STRING(SIZE(5))
Wherein, ac-BarringFactor represents the random number between 0 to 1, wherein, p00=0, p05=0.05, p10=0.10 ..., p95=0.95.
Ac-BarringFactor can get these 16 any one value in worthwhile.
When the value of carrying in than ac-BarringFactor when random number that UE obtains is high, represent that this terminal allows to be linked in the network, otherwise the access of this terminal will be under an embargo.
Ac-BarringTime represents the time that terminal will be under an embargo and insert, and unit is second.
In concrete application scenarios, terminal can be safeguarded 3 timer: T302, T303 and T305.
If the T302 timer starts, then connect and set up that all are designated as MT in the request message at RRC, the access of MO signaling and MO call all will be prevented from.
If T302 timer expiry or stop, but the T303 timer is activated, and then connects at RRC and sets up in the request message all accesses that are designated as MO call and will be prevented from, and still, the access of MO signaling and MT type then can allow.
If T302 timer expiry or stop, but the T305 timer is activated, and then connects at RRC and sets up in the request message all accesses that are designated as MO signaling and will be prevented from, and still, the access of MT and MO call type then can allow.
The activation of T303 and T305 timer is provided with relevant with the ac-BarringInfo in the system broadcast message.
Wherein, the forbidding of MO call inserted the handling process schematic diagram as shown in Figure 1, supposes that T302, T303 and the T305 timer in terminal this moment all not have activation:
Step S101, terminal are initiated the connection request of MO call.
Whether comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Data among step S 102, the terminal judges SIB2.
If occurred ac-BarringInfo among the SIB2, and wherein comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Data, then execution in step S103;
If do not comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Data among the SIB2, then execution in step S106.
Step S103, terminal generate the random number between the 0-1.
Step S104, terminal compare the ac-BarringFactor that is comprised among the random number that generates and the ac-BarringFor MO-Data.
If the random number that terminal generates is littler than the value of ac-BarringFactor, then execution in step S105;
If the random number that terminal generates is bigger than the value of ac-BarringFactor, then execution in step S106.
Step S105, starting terminal timer T303.
In such cases, terminal thinks that this access request forbidden by the sub-district, therefore also can not initiate the request message of RRC.At this moment, starting terminal timer T303, the length of T303 then is to calculate by certain formula according to the value of the ac-BarringTime in the Cell Broadcast CB to get.In the time that T303 starts, the connection request of all MO call all can be prevented from terminal, and T303 is overtime up to timer.
Step S106, terminal think that this access request is not stoped by the sub-district, and terminal will be initiated RRC and connect the request of foundation.
Step S107, base station judge whether to accept to insert request according to current load request.
If the base station allows this request, then the RRC connection is set up and is asked successfully;
If this moment the base station overload, this request can be refused in the base station, then execution in step S108.
Step S108, receive the refuse information of base station when terminal after, will start timer T302.
At this moment, the access of all MT, MO signaling and MO call all will be prevented from, and T302 is overtime up to timer.
The activation and the T303 of T305 timer are similar, its flow chart as shown in Figure 2, detailed process repeats no more.
In existing technical scheme, not about the restriction access strategy of MT, network has only the RRC that is designated as MT by refusal to connect the request of foundation to forbid the access request of MT type in the system broadcast message.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there is following problem at least in prior art:
Before also do not have method to solve network to limit MTC equipment access network within the specific limits, and how MTC equipment determines that this moment, network was the also not explanation that restriction inserts.
Embodiment
As stated in the Background Art, in order to limit MTC equipment access network within the specific limits, especially can make the MTC equipment of end side determine whether current network limits access, and the embodiment of the invention has proposed a kind of control method of terminal equipment access network.
As shown in Figure 3, the schematic flow sheet of the control method of a kind of terminal equipment access network that provides for the embodiment of the invention, this method specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step S301, terminal equipment judgement receive system broadcast message.
Step S302, terminal equipment are judged the information that whether comprises restriction MTC equipment access network in the received system broadcast message.
If comprise, execution in step S303 then;
If do not comprise, execution in step S304 then.
Wherein, the information of restriction MTC equipment access network is specially:
The ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit; And/or,
The ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit.
In concrete application scenarios, the identifying whether information of above-mentioned restriction MTC equipment access network exists only needs terminal equipment to carry out the identification of corresponding information unit, if exist, then carry out the corresponding subsequent operation, concrete parameter values of being comprised in the information unit etc. is not then discerned or other operations, thereby, reduced unnecessary operation sequence, improved treatment effeciency.
Step S303, terminal equipment are set up and are stoped sign.
Wherein, stop sign to be used to forbid that terminal equipment sends and the corresponding service access request of information that limits MTC equipment access network.
The particular type of the information of corresponding above-mentioned restriction MTC equipment access network, the processing procedure of this step is specially:
When the information of restriction MTC equipment access network was specially the ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit, terminal equipment was set up the corresponding prevention sign of service access request of MO signaling;
When the information of restriction MTC equipment access network was specially the ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit, terminal equipment was set up the corresponding prevention sign of service access request of MO call;
When the information of restriction MTC equipment access network was specially ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit and ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit, terminal equipment was set up the corresponding prevention sign of service access request of MO signaling and MO call.
In concrete application scenarios, the specific implementation process that above-mentioned terminal equipment is set up the corresponding prevention sign of service access request of MO signaling and/or MO call is:
The rrc layer of terminal equipment is indicated to the access of forbidding that the NAS layer sends MO signaling and/or MO call; set up the corresponding prevention sign of service access request of MO signaling and/or MO call, concrete foundation stops the position of sign can't influence protection scope of the present invention.
It is pointed out that after finishing this step, need return step S301, continue to carry out subsequent treatment according to the information in the follow-up system broadcast message.
Step S304, terminal equipment allow self to send the service access request.
Wherein, stop sign if terminal equipment before the system broadcast message that receives the information that does not comprise restriction MTC equipment access network, has been set up, then this terminal equipment deletion stops sign.
Stop the process of sign corresponding with above-mentioned foundation, the rrc layer that deletion stops the process of sign to be specially terminal equipment forbids inserting indication to the releasing that the NAS layer sends MO signaling and/or MO call, the corresponding prevention sign of the service access request of deletion MO signaling and/or MO call.
After finishing this step, need return step S301 equally, continue to carry out subsequent treatment according to the information in the follow-up system broadcast message.
Need further be pointed out that, after step S302, promptly after terminal equipment is judged the information that comprises restriction MTC equipment access network in the received system broadcast message, also comprise following handling process:
Whether terminal equipment identification self has the corresponding time tolerance of the information characteristic with described restriction MTC equipment access network.
If have, then terminal equipment is set up and is stoped sign;
If do not have, then terminal equipment generates a random number, and judges that whether random number is less than entrained referential data in the information of restriction MTC equipment access network.If, less than, described terminal equipment is set up and is stoped sign, if be not less than, described terminal equipment allows self to send the service access request.Processing by above-mentioned flow process, network side no longer needs maintenance class to be similar to the timer of T303 of the prior art or T305, the identification that only need carry out information unit can realize corresponding access restriction operation, thereby has simplified the operating process of network side, has improved and has inserted the efficient of handling.
Above-mentioned handling process is the handling process of end side, and is corresponding, the handling process of the network side that the embodiment of the invention also proposes.
As shown in Figure 4, the control method of a kind of terminal equipment access network that provides for the embodiment of the invention is at the schematic flow sheet of network side, and this method specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step S401, network equipment need to judge whether restriction MTC equipment access network;
Need restriction MTC equipment access network, execution in step S402 if judge;
If judging does not need to limit MTC equipment access network, then continue to handle according to normal flow.
In concrete application scenarios, the specific implementation flow process of this step is as follows:
Network equipment judges whether current load condition surpasses default load threshold;
If surpass, network equipment need to determine restriction MTC equipment access network, if do not surpass, network equipment determines not need to limit MTC equipment access network.
Step S402, network equipment send the system broadcast message of the information that comprises restriction MTC equipment access network.
Need be pointed out that further that before carrying out step S402, network equipment can also judge whether that needs limit other-end equipment according to default processing policy;
If do not need, be provided with in the information of the restriction MTC equipment access network that network equipment is comprised in system broadcast message and equal 0 or less than the referential data of default value.
Here the default value of being mentioned is actual is that of setting in advance is with reference to numerical value, determined a very little numerical value interval between this numerical value and 0, guaranteed that the numerical value that other-end equipment has only probability seldom to get in this numerical value interval is used as referential data, thereby avoided other-end equipment is produced too much influence.
Concrete, the information of above-mentioned restriction MTC equipment access network is specially:
The ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit; And/or,
The ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
By using the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed, solved the problem of the MTC equipment access network of certain limit inner control time tolerance, by the system broadcast message that comprises the information that limits MTC equipment access network the MTC equipment with time tolerance characteristic being postponed is linked in the network, change less to existing protocol, simplified the operation of the MTC equipment of time tolerance characteristic simultaneously, realize simply having reduced the cost of MTC equipment.
Below, the application scenarios in conjunction with concrete is elaborated to the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed.
When network side is want access at certain regional inner control MTC equipment, then can be according to the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention proposed, can be (in concrete application scenarios in the system broadcast message of controlling the sub-district, be specially SIB2) in carry restriction MTC equipment access network information, inform the access limited case of corresponding terminal device current network with this.
Wherein, in concrete application scenarios, the ac-BarringForMO-Signaling that the information of above-mentioned restriction MTC equipment access network specifically can be set to carry in SIB2 and two IE of ac-BarringForMO-Data.
When comprising ac-BarringForMO-Signaling in the MTC system for discovering broadcast with time tolerance characteristic or/and during ac-BarringForMO-Data, the rrc layer of MTC equipment is indicated MO signaling or/and the access of MO call is under an embargo to the NAS layer, at this moment, MTC equipment will stop and self send MO signaling or/and the access request of MO call to network.
In subsequent process, when no longer comprising ac-BarringForMO-Signaling in the system broadcast message or/and during ac-BarringForMO-Data, the rrc layer of MTC equipment is indicated MOsignaling or/and the access barred cancellation of MO call to the NAS layer, at this moment, network allows the MOsignaling of MTC equipment or/and the service access of MO call.
Consider that network is different with the MTC equipment user's of ordinary terminal and other types restriction criterion possibility for the MTC equipment of time tolerance, such as: a certain cell load reaches the MTC equipment user's that just can limit ordinary terminal and other types at 60% o'clock access, and impact for fear of the performance of a large amount of MTC equipment access networks to the ordinary terminal user, network just thinks that the MTC equipment of binding hours tolerance is linked in the network when cell load reaches 50%, and this moment, network did not then limit for the MTC equipment user of ordinary terminal and other types.
According to the method that the embodiment of the invention proposed, when cell load reaches 50%, ac-BarringForMO-Signaling will be carried or/and ac-BarringForMO-Data among the SIB2.
At this moment, the MTC equipment with time tolerance characteristic reads when containing these two IE among the SIB2, will postpone MO signaling or/and transmission request and the transfer of data of MO call.And ordinary terminal also can generate a random value comprise these two IE in reading SIB2 after, relatively come finally to determine whether to initiate to insert request according to the size of random value and ac-BarringFactor value (referential data of the preamble of ascending the throne), therefore, impact for fear of the access of this moment domestic consumer, can be made as the value of ac-BarringFactor 0 or less value this moment, thereby, the random value that ordinary terminal generates just becomes very little less than the probability of ac-BarringFactor value, makes the MTC equipment of ordinary terminal and other types to be linked in the network smoothly.
In addition, consider in the future a plurality of feature that may same MTC equipment will be signed, the characteristic of time tolerance of having supposed a certain terminal unit contractual, also contracted the in addition characteristic of a time control, so, when the service request of MTC equipment is because time tolerance characteristic when causing, MTC equipment is carried out according to the method that the invention described above embodiment is proposed.If this moment, the service request of MTC equipment caused that because of the time control characteristic then MTC equipment can be carried out according to normal flow.
