Description

Communication method and access network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and an access network device.

Background

The fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th-generation, 5G) network provides multiple slicing modes, which can satisfy the demands of both customers (2C) and enterprises (2B).

The transceiver devices (e.g. access network devices) in a 5G network are typically multi-antenna devices, such as: 64 Transceiver and Receiver (TR) devices, resulting in very high networking costs. Therefore, operators are seeking a solution for co-establishing a base station by multiple operators and performing network deployment by using the co-established base station. The co-building of the base station means that one base station can meet the requirements of multiple operators, and the equipment of the multiple operators is not centralized in the same base station.

How the base station after being co-constructed distinguishes the 2B and the 2C of each operator, and accesses the 2B and the 2C of each operator to the corresponding core network becomes a problem to be solved urgently.

Because different operator core networks provide services for terminals of different service types, when the network identifier is determined to meet the preset condition, the access network equipment accesses the terminal to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier, so that the terminal of 2B or 2C of the same operator is accessed to the different operator core networks of the operator, and the problems that how the base station after co-construction distinguishes 2B and 2C of each operator and accesses 2B and 2C of each operator to the corresponding core networks are solved.

and when the network identifier is determined to meet the preset condition, the base station 2 accesses the terminal 1 to a public network core network corresponding to the network identifier.

Fig. 2 shows an architecture of the access network device 2 in the above communication method. As shown in fig. 2, the access network device 2 includes: the device comprises a radio frequency unit and a baseband processing unit. The radio frequency unit is connected to the base station processing unit through a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), and the private network core networks of the operator a, the operator B, the operator a, and the operator B are connected to the baseband processing unit of the access network device 2 through NG interfaces.

The network identifier detection module is used for acquiring a network identifier from the terminal 1; the carrier frequency detection module is configured to determine an operator core network accessible to the terminal 1 according to the carrier information of the terminal 1. The core network selection module is used for accessing the terminal 1 to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier when the network identifier acquired by the network identifier detection module meets the preset condition; the network identifier is determined by the terminal according to the service type of the initiated service, each operator core network corresponds to one network identifier, and the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier is an operator core network in the operator core networks which can be accessed by the terminal.

For example, referring to fig. 2, taking an example that an operator a and an operator B access an access network device 2 through an NG interface at the same time, a specific implementation process is as follows:

the access network device 2 includes 2 communication links (e.g., a first communication link composed of a baseband processing unit, a first transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit, and a second communication link composed of a baseband processing unit, a second transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit) that respectively carry service data (also referred to as private network service data) generated by the operator a 2B and service data (also referred to as public network service data) generated by the operator C, and private network service data and public network service data of the operator B.

Specifically, each of the first communication link and the second communication link includes a carrier link for transmitting uplink data and a carrier link for transmitting downlink data. Such as: the first communication link comprises a carrier link composed of a baseband processing unit, a DUC1, a DAC1, a TX1, a first combiner, a switch and an antenna unit and used for transmitting uplink data, and a carrier link composed of the baseband processing unit, a DDC1, an ADC1, an RX1, a second combiner, a switch and an antenna unit and used for transmitting downlink data.

As can be known from fig. 2, when the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator a is the private network service, the access network device 2 transmits the private network service data of the terminal 1 through the first communication link. Wherein, the uplink data in the private network service data initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator a is transmitted through the carrier link for transmitting the uplink data in the first communication link.

When the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator a is the public network service, the access network device 2 transmits public network service data through the first communication link. Uplink data in the public network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator a is transmitted through a carrier link used for transmitting the uplink data in the first communication link.

And then, combining uplink data in the public network service data and uplink data in the private network service data together through a first combiner, and outputting the combined uplink data to an antenna unit.

Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

when the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator a is the private network service, the access network device 2 transmits the private network service data through the first communication link. Wherein, the uplink data in the private network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator a is transmitted through the carrier link for transmitting the uplink data in the first communication link.

When the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator a is the public network service, the access network device 2 transmits the public network service data through the first communication link. Uplink data in the public network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator a is transmitted through a carrier link used for transmitting the uplink data in the first communication link.

When the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 of the operator B is the private network service, the access network device 2 transmits the private network service data through the second communication link. Wherein, the uplink data in the private network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator B is transmitted through the carrier link used for transmitting the uplink data in the second communication link.

And then, combining uplink data in the public network service data and uplink data in the private network service data of the operator A and the operator B together through a first combiner, and outputting the combined uplink data to an antenna unit.

Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

when the terminal 1 of the operator a or the operator B transmits uplink data, the access network device 2 receives downlink data responding to the uplink data. When the antenna unit of the access network device 2 receives the downlink data, the downlink data needs to be distinguished through the second combiner. When it is determined that the downlink data includes downlink data of the private network or the public network of the terminal 1 of the operator a, the downlink data needs to be transmitted to the terminal 1 of the operator a through the carrier link for transmitting the downlink data in the first communication link. When it is determined that the downlink data includes downlink data of the public network or the private network of terminal 1 of operator B, the downlink data needs to be transmitted to terminal 1 of operator B through the carrier link for transmitting the downlink data in the second communication link.

The terminal 1 is used to provide voice and/or data connectivity services to a user. The terminal 1 may have different names such as User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a terminal unit, a terminal station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a vehicular user equipment, a terminal agent, or a terminal device. Optionally, the terminal 1 may be various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, and computers with communication functions, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the handheld device may be a smartphone. The in-vehicle device may be an in-vehicle navigation system. The wearable device may be a smart bracelet. The computer may be a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) computer, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.

The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the network system shown in fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 3, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S11-S13:

s11, the access network device 2 obtains the network identifier from the terminal 1. The network identification is determined by the terminal according to the service type of the initiated service.

Specifically, the access network device 2 may obtain the network identifier through a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session initiated by the terminal 1.

Specifically, the terminal 1 may initiate a private network service or a public network service through mobile phone software (APP) installed on the terminal 1.

S12, the access network device 2 determines the operator core network accessible by the terminal 1 according to the carrier information of the terminal 1.

Specifically, the carrier information includes a working frequency point. After the access network device 2 acquires the network identifier from the terminal 1, the access network device needs to determine an operator to which the terminal belongs according to the working frequency point of the terminal. Wherein the operator comprises at least one core network device 3, each core network device 3 supporting at least one operator core network.

After determining the operator to which the terminal 1 belongs, since each operator includes at least one operator core network, it may be determined that the operator core network accessible to the terminal 1 is the at least one operator core network included by the operator.

For example, when it is assumed that the operator a includes a public network core network and at least one private network core network, it is determined that the operator core networks accessible to the terminal 1 are the public network core network and the at least one private network core network.

Specifically, the access network device 2 determines the working frequency point by checking carrier information in a Management Information Base (MIB) signaling reported by the terminal 1.

Specifically, the access network device 2 may query the first configuration table according to the working frequency point of the terminal 1, so as to determine an operator to which the terminal 1 belongs. The first configuration table comprises a corresponding relation between the frequency point information and a preset operator.

Illustratively, when the frequency point information is the frequency point interval, the first configuration table is shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

Frequency point interval	Preset operator
		A1-A2	Operator A
B1-B2	Operator B
		C1-C2	Operator C

When the working frequency point of the terminal 1 is determined to be AN, it can be known from table 1 that the working frequency point AN is in the frequency point interval a1-a2, and at this time, it can be determined that the operator to which the terminal 1 belongs is the operator a.

Illustratively, when the frequency point information is a frequency point set, the first configuration table is shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

Frequency point set	Preset operator
		A1、A2、……、AN	Operator A
B1、B2、……、BN	Operator B
		C1、C2、……、CN	Operator C

When the working frequency point of the terminal 1 is determined to be AN, it can be known from table 2 that the working frequency point AN is AN element in the frequency point set { a1, a2, … …, AN }, and at this time, it can be determined that the operator to which the terminal 1 belongs is AN operator a.

And S13, when the network identifier is determined to meet the preset condition, the access network equipment accesses the terminal to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier. Each operator core network corresponds to a network identifier, and the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier is an operator core network in the operator core networks which can be accessed by the terminal.

Specifically, the network identifier includes at least one of a private network identifier and a target address, the operator core network includes at least one of a private network core network and a public network core network, and the target address corresponding to the private network core network is different from the target address corresponding to the public network core network.

And when the access network equipment 2 determines that the network identifier comprises the private network identifier and the target address, the terminal 1 is accessed to a private network core network corresponding to the target address.

And when the access network equipment 2 determines that the network identifier only contains the target address, the terminal 1 is accessed to the public network core network corresponding to the target address.

Specifically, the target address may be an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Specifically, the terminal 1 may send different network identifiers to the access network device 2 according to a preset rule, so that the access network device 2 may distinguish the service type of the service initiated by the terminal 1 according to the network identifiers.

Specifically, the preset rule is that the terminal 1 queries the second configuration table according to the service type of the originating service, and determines the network identifier. The second configuration table includes a corresponding relationship between the service type and the network identifier.

Illustratively, the second configuration table is shown in table 3.

TABLE 3

Type of service	Network identification
		Private network service	Private network identity + target address
Public network service	Target address

When the terminal 1 determines that the service type of the service is the private network service, it can be known from table 3 that the network identifier sent by the terminal 1 to the access network device 2 is "private network identifier (e.g.," Z ") + target address".

Then, after receiving the network identifier "Z + destination address" sent by the terminal 1, the access network device 2 determines, according to the carrier information of the terminal 1, an operator (e.g., operator a) to which the terminal 1 belongs, thereby determining an operator core network to which the terminal 1 can access.

In practical application, each operator includes at least one private network core network, and each private network core network provides services for different terminals 1, so when the access network device 2 determines that the network identifier includes a private network identifier and a target address, the terminal 1 needs to be accessed to a private network core network corresponding to the target address in the operator a, thereby ensuring user experience.

Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

when the terminal 1 determines that the service type of the service initiated is the public network service, it can be known from table 3 that the network identifier sent by the terminal 1 to the access network device 2 is the "target address".

Then, after receiving the network identifier "destination address" sent by the terminal 1, the access network device 2 determines, according to the carrier information of the terminal 1, an operator (e.g., operator a) to which the terminal 1 belongs, thereby determining an operator core network to which the terminal 1 can access.

In practical application, each operator includes at least one public network core network, and each public network core network provides services for different terminals 1, so when the access network device 2 determines that the network identifier only includes a target address, the terminal 1 needs to be accessed to the public network core network corresponding to the target address in the operator a.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, in combination with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the above S12 may include S120 and S121.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, in combination with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the above S13 may include S130 and S131.

As can be seen from the above, in actual applications, the core networks of the operators corresponding to different operators are different. Therefore, in the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after the access network device obtains the network identifier from the terminal, the operator core network to which the terminal can access is determined according to the carrier information of the terminal, so that the operator to which the terminal belongs is distinguished according to the operator core network to which the terminal can access.

In order to distinguish the service type of the service initiated by the terminal, the access network device needs to determine the network identifier according to the service type of the service initiated by the terminal, so that the access network device needs to determine the operator core network to which the terminal needs to access according to the carrier information after determining the operator to which the terminal belongs. Because different operator core networks provide services for terminals of different service types, when the network identifier is determined to meet the preset condition, the access network equipment accesses the terminal to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier, so that the terminal of 2B or 2C of the same operator is accessed to the different operator core networks of the operator, and the problems that how the base station after co-construction distinguishes 2B and 2C of each operator and accesses 2B and 2C of each operator to the corresponding core networks are solved.
