Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for reporting information according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information reporting method of the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the terminal. As shown in fig. 2, the method for reporting information may include the following steps:

step 201, obtaining characteristic information, where the characteristic information includes identification information of a neighbor network of the first network.

In the embodiment of the invention, the identification information of the network is used for identifying the network, which is helpful for identifying the network.

The first network is a network to which the own cell of the terminal belongs. For a terminal in a connected state, a local cell of the terminal is a service cell of the terminal; for an idle terminal, the cell of the terminal is the resident cell of the terminal.

The neighbor Network of the first Network may include at least one of a Non-Public Network (NPN) and a Public Network.

Step 202, reporting the characteristic information to a network side device of the first network.

After acquiring the characteristic information including the identification information and the like of the neighboring network of the first network, the terminal may report the characteristic information to the network side device of the first network. Thus, the network side device can know the identification information of the adjacent network of the first network, and can change the identification information of the first network under the condition that the identification information of the first network is in conflict with the identification information of the adjacent network of the first network, so that the changed identification information of the first network is different from the identification information of the adjacent network, and the conflict between the first network and the identification information of the adjacent network can be eliminated.

According to the information reporting method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the terminal acquires the characteristic information such as the identification information of the adjacent network of the first network, the characteristic information is reported to the network side equipment of the first network. In this way, after the network side device acquires the feature information, the network side device may perform the first operation on the identification information of the first network according to the feature information, so that the identification information of the first network does not conflict with the identification information of the neighboring network, and thus, the probability of terminal connection establishment failure caused by network identification information conflict may be reduced.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the identification information may include at least one of a network identifier and a network name.

In particular implementations, the network name may be represented as a readable network name, such as, but not limited to, a factory network. The network identification may appear as: NPN identity or Public area mobile Network (PLMN) identity, but is not limited thereto.

Further, the PLMN identification may include the following: mobile network country Code (MCC) taking value 999; mobile Network Code (MNC).

In this embodiment of the present invention, the feature information may optionally include, in addition to the identification information of the neighboring network, at least one of the following:

geographical location information of the terminal;

cell identification information of the neighbor network;

frequency point information of the neighbor network;

measurement information corresponding to a cell of the neighbor network;

and measuring information corresponding to the frequency points of the adjacent network.

In a specific implementation, the geographic location information of the terminal may be used to determine a coverage area of a neighboring network, so that overlapping coverage may be avoided. The cell identification information of the neighbor network can be used for determining the cell deployment of the neighbor network, so that cell identification conflict can be avoided. The frequency point information of the adjacent network can be used for determining the frequency point of the adjacent network, so that the frequency point conflict can be avoided. The measurement information corresponding to the cell and the measurement information corresponding to the frequency point of the adjacent network can be used for determining the coverage area of the adjacent network, so that overlapping coverage can be avoided.

Further, the geographical location information may include at least one of:

coordinate information (e.g., latitude and longitude and altitude);

speed of movement information (e.g., kilometers per hour);

movement direction information (e.g., movement angle).

The cell identification information may specifically include at least one of the following:

physical Cell Identity (PCI);

cell Global Identity (CGI).

The frequency point information may include: absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN).

The measurement information corresponding to the cell may include any one of:

a measurement result of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) corresponding to a cell;

a measurement result of Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) corresponding to a cell;

the Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) of the corresponding cell is measured.

The measurement information corresponding to the frequency point may include any one of the following items:

measuring results of RSRP corresponding to the frequency points;

measuring results of RSRQ corresponding to the frequency points;

and measuring the SINR corresponding to the frequency point.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining, by the terminal, the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network may specifically be represented as: the terminal reads the feature information of the neighbor network of the first network. In specific implementation, the terminal may read the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network under the instruction of the network side device of the first network, or may read the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network by itself. For ease of understanding, the detailed description is as follows:

in the first embodiment, the terminal reads the feature information of the neighbor network of the first network under the instruction of the network side device of the first network.

In this embodiment, optionally, before the obtaining the feature information of the neighbor network of the first network, the method further includes:

and receiving first indication information sent by the network side equipment, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to read the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network.

In a specific implementation, the network side device may send the first indication information to the terminal when it is measured that the identification information of the first network and the identification information of the neighboring network collide and the identification information of the neighboring network is unknown, but the method is not limited thereto.

After receiving the first indication information, the terminal may read feature information of a neighboring network of the first network according to the indication of the first indication information.

It should be noted that the first indication information may be used to instruct the terminal to read the feature information of the neighbor network of the first network, but may not specifically instruct the terminal to read which neighbor network of the first network. Therefore, the neighbor network corresponding to the feature information acquired by the terminal may be determined according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the terminal reads the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network based on the indication of the network side device, which indicates that the network side device has a need to acquire the feature information, so that the utilization rate of the reported feature information of the neighboring network of the first network can be improved.

And in the second implementation mode, the terminal reads the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network.

In this embodiment, optionally, the acquiring the feature information of the neighbor network of the first network includes:

and reading the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network under the condition that the first trigger condition is met.

Optionally, the first trigger condition includes at least one of:

the terminal registration fails;

the updating of the geographical position of the terminal fails;

the terminal connection is established unsuccessfully;

the identification information of the first network conflicts with the identification information of the adjacent network;

and the terminal identification of the terminal is not matched with the terminal identification corresponding to the first network.

In a specific implementation, the terminal registration failure may include: the terminal registers in the first network, and the registration fails.

The failure of updating the geographical position of the terminal may include any one of the following:

a Tracking Area Update (TAU) of the terminal fails;

the access network-based Notification Area Update (RNAU) of the terminal fails.

The terminal connection establishment failure may include: the terminal connection establishment is rejected.

The conflict between the identification information of the first network and the identification information of the neighboring network may be indicated by a network side device of the first network. For example, the UE performs connection establishment in the first network, but the first network does not have the identification information of the UE, so that the network side device of the first network may determine that the UE is most likely to select a wrong network for connection establishment due to the identification information conflict of the networks, that is, the network that the UE actually desires to establish connection is not the first network. In this scenario, even though the network-side device of the first network may determine that the identification information of the first network conflicts with the identification information of the neighboring network, the network-side device of the first network does not know the identification information of the neighboring network, and thus cannot accurately change the network identification information of the first network, so that the changed identification information is different from the identification information of the neighboring network. Therefore, the network side device of the first network may send indication information to the UE, indicating that the identification information of the first network conflicts with the identification information of the neighboring network. In this way, after receiving the indication information, the UE knows that there is a need to acquire the feature information of the neighboring network, so that the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network can be read.

The terminal identifier corresponding to the first network may specifically include any one of the following: a terminal identifier of a first network existence; a terminal identifier registered by a first network; the terminal identification authorized by the first network.

The terminal identifier of the terminal not matching the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network may be indicated by a network side device of the first network. For example, the UE performs connection establishment in the first network, and the first network may detect whether the terminal identifier of the UE matches the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network, and in a case that the UE does not match the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network, that is, in a case that the first network does not have the UE, it indicates that the UE is most likely to select a wrong network for connection establishment due to collision of the identifier information of the network, that is, the network that the UE actually desires to establish connection is not the first network. In this scenario, even though the network-side device of the first network may determine that the identification information of the first network conflicts with the identification information of the neighboring network, the network-side device of the first network does not know the identification information of the neighboring network, and thus cannot accurately change the network identification information of the first network, so that the changed identification information is different from the identification information of the neighboring network. Therefore, the network side device of the first network may send indication information to the UE, indicating that the terminal identifier of the terminal does not match with the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network. In this way, after receiving the indication information, the UE knows that there is a need to acquire the feature information of the neighboring network, so that the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network can be read.

In this embodiment, the terminal may read the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network by itself, so that, compared with the first embodiment, the first embodiment does not need the network side device to issue the first indication information, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

For the above two embodiments, after reading the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network, the terminal may report the feature information under the instruction of the network side device of the first network. Optionally, after obtaining the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network and before reporting the feature information to the network side device of the first network, the method further includes:

sending second indication information to the network side equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating the terminal to acquire the characteristic information;

and receiving third indication information sent by the network side equipment, wherein the third indication information is used for indicating the terminal to report the characteristic information.

In specific implementation, after receiving the third indication information, the terminal may report the feature information according to an indication of the third indication information.

In this scenario, the network side device sends the third indication information to the terminal, which indicates that the network side device has a need to acquire the feature information, so that the utilization rate of the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network that is reported can be improved.

Certainly, in another scenario, for the two implementation manners, after the terminal reads the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network, the terminal may actively report the feature information, so that the network side device is not required to issue the third indication information, and thus the signaling overhead may be reduced.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an information obtaining method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information acquisition method of the embodiment of the invention can be applied to network side equipment of a first network. As shown in fig. 3, the method for reporting information includes the following steps:

step 301, obtaining feature information, where the feature information includes identification information of a neighboring network of the first network.

In a specific implementation, the obtaining, by the network-side device of the first network, the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network may specifically be represented as:

reading feature information of a neighbor network of the first network; or the like, or, alternatively,

and receiving the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network reported by the terminal.

The two embodiments described above will be specifically described below.

For embodiments that read characteristic information of neighbor networks of the first network.

In this embodiment, the network-side device may read feature information of a neighboring network of the first network by itself.

Optionally, the reading the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network includes:

and reading the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network under the condition that a second trigger condition is met.

Further, the second trigger condition may include at least one of:

detecting that a terminal registers in the first network and the registration fails;

detecting that a terminal carries out geographic position updating in the first network and the geographic position updating fails;

detecting that a terminal establishes connection in the first network and connection establishment fails;

and detecting that a terminal establishes connection in the first network, and the terminal identification of the terminal is not matched with the terminal identification corresponding to the first network.

In a specific implementation, the registration failure may include: the terminal and the network side equipment fail to register.

The failure of the geographic location update may include: TAU failure or RNAU failure.

The connection establishment failure may include: the connection establishment is denied.

The terminal identifier of the terminal not matching the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network may include: the terminal identifier corresponding to the first network does not include the terminal identifier of the terminal.

The terminal may be any terminal.

In this embodiment, the network side device can read the feature information by itself, and does not need the terminal to report the feature information, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

For the implementation of "receiving the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network reported by the terminal," reference may be specifically made to the description in the reporting method applied to the information of the terminal.

Optionally, before the receiving the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network, which is reported by the terminal, the method further includes:

and sending first indication information to the terminal, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to read the characteristic information of the adjacent network of the first network.

receiving second indication information sent by the terminal;

and sending third indication information to the terminal under the condition that the second indication information indicates that the terminal acquires the characteristic information, wherein the third indication information is used for indicating the terminal to report the characteristic information.

It should be noted that, when the two optional steps are implemented in combination, the network side device executes the step of receiving the second indication information sent by the terminal after receiving the feature information of the neighboring network of the first network, which is reported by the terminal.

In this embodiment, the network side device obtains the feature information by receiving the feature information reported by the terminal, so that the operation load of the network side device can be reduced.

Step 302, according to the characteristic information, a first operation is performed on the identification information of the first network, where the first operation is a change operation or a reservation operation.

In a specific implementation, optionally, the performing, according to the feature information, a first operation on the identification information of the first network includes:

performing a change operation on the identification information of the first network in a case where the identification information of the neighbor network conflicts with the identification information of the first network; or the like, or, alternatively,

and under the condition that the identification information of the adjacent network does not conflict with the identification information of the first network, performing reservation operation on the identification information of the first network. That is, no operation is performed on the identification information of the first network.

It should be understood that, in the case where the identification information of the neighboring network conflicts with the identification information of the first network, after the modification operation is performed on the identification information of the first network, the modified identification information of the first network does not conflict with the identification information of the neighboring network.

In the information obtaining method according to the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the identification information includes at least one of a network identifier and a network name.

Optionally, the feature information further includes at least one of:

Optionally, the neighbor network includes at least one of a non-public NPN network and a public network.

It should be noted that, the present embodiment is taken as an embodiment of a network side device corresponding to the foregoing method embodiment, and therefore, reference may be made to relevant descriptions in the foregoing method embodiment, and the same beneficial effects may be achieved. To avoid repetition of the description, the description is omitted.

According to the information acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the network side equipment can acquire the characteristic information such as the identification information of the adjacent network of the first network. In this way, the network side device may perform the first operation on the identification information of the first network according to the feature information, so that the identification information of the first network does not conflict with the identification information of the neighboring network, and thus, the probability of terminal connection establishment failure due to network identification information conflict may be reduced.
