step 1, obtaining locally stored access information, wherein the access information comprises operator network information to be accessed and access priority information, and the access priority information at least comprises frequency band priority information.
In the embodiment of the invention, the cell access method can be applied to user terminals which are international roaming in a certain country or region. The user terminal may locally acquire access information for accessing the cell, such as operator network information to be accessed, frequency band priority information, and the like.
The operator network information may include network information of a specific operator, and since different frequency bands are allocated to multiple operators for the operators to use as network coverage, the access information may also provide frequency band priority information of the specific operator.
And step 2, determining a cell corresponding to the operator network information to be accessed.
After the user terminal acquires the access information from the local, an international roaming re-network selection mechanism is triggered, namely, the initial access cell search is carried out at the current position again so as to determine the cell corresponding to the operator network information to be accessed.
And step 3, determining the cell to be accessed according to the access priority information.
The user terminal may determine a cell to be accessed from the cells determined in step 2 at least according to the frequency band priority information obtained locally. And selecting the cell to be accessed according to the frequency band priority information, so that the user terminal can be ensured to be preferentially accessed to the cell with high frequency band priority.
As can be seen from steps 1 to 3, in the cell access method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal may determine the cell to be accessed to the operator network according to the operator network information to be accessed obtained locally, and then determine the current cell to be accessed from the cells to be accessed to the operator network according to the priority information at least including the frequency band priority information.
In some embodiments, before the obtaining the locally stored access information (i.e. step 1), the method may further include: and installing a preset application program. The acquiring locally stored access information (i.e., step 1) may include: and acquiring access information stored in a preset application program.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a user terminal may download and install a preset application program, where the preset application program may provide a network searching service for an international roaming user, where the preset application program may carry network information of an operator to be accessed and access priority information, and the access priority information may at least include frequency band priority information. The international roaming user can obtain the access information by starting the application program and activate the network re-selection mechanism, the application program calls the cell search capability of the modem of the user terminal, the current cell to be accessed is determined according to the access information, and the current cell to be accessed is tried to be accessed.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, how the user terminal downloads and installs the preset application program is not specifically limited, for example, the download of the application program may be provided to the international roaming user in a manner of a website, an application program, a wechat applet, and the like of the specified operator, or a two-dimensional code scanning service may be provided to the international roaming user at an entry/exit port, and a link of a download page of the application program may be provided in the two-dimensional code, and the user terminal scans the two-dimensional code and then links to the download page, that is, the application program may be downloaded and installed.
The operation and maintenance party of the application program can update the application program according to actual needs so as to update the specified operator network information and the access priority information in the application program.
In some embodiments, the operator network information comprises public land mobile network, PLMN, information of a predetermined operator network.
Since PLMN information of different operator networks is generally different, if network access after international roaming is implemented based on a 3GPP standard flow, different PLMN information is not distinguished to which operator network, respectively, and a network selection process is to perform cell search based on a selected PLMN, so that it is not distinguished to which operator network a cell preferentially accessed by a user terminal belongs.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the access information obtained from local by the user terminal through step 1 may include PLMN information of a preset operator network. After acquiring the PLMN information of the preset operator network from the local, the user terminal may preferentially access the cell of the preset operator network.
In some embodiments, the accessing priority information further includes network type priority information, and the determining a cell to be accessed according to the accessing priority information (i.e. step 3) may include: and determining the cell to be accessed according to the network system priority information and the frequency band priority information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the access information provides the preset PLMN information of the operator, the access information may also provide the network type priority corresponding to the PLMN information.
For example, there are three main carrier network companies in China, which are China Unicom network communications group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Unicom"), China Mobile communications group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Mobile"), and China Telecommunications group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Telecommunications"). The network systems of 4G (the 4Generation mobile communication technology, fourth Generation communication technology), 3G (3rd-Generation, third Generation mobile communication technology) and 2G (2-Generation wireless telephone technology, second Generation mobile communication technology) are adopted for the communication, the mobile and the telecommunication. If the access information stored in the local application program provides a PLMN which is connected, that is, 46001, then the access information may also provide a network type priority: TD-LTE/FDD-LTE (Time Division-LTE/Frequency Division duplex LTE) for 4G, WCDMA for 3G, and GSM for 2G. If the access information stored in the local application program is provided with the mobile PLMN, that is, 46000, the access information may also provide the network system priority: TD-LTE of 4G, TD-SCDMA of 3G, and GSM of 2G.

and 31, sequencing the cells corresponding to the network information of the operator to be accessed according to the network standard priority information to obtain a first cell sequence.
After the user terminal obtains all cells of the designated operator network through the search in step 2, all cells can be sorted for the first time according to the network system priority information to obtain a first cell sequence.
And step 32, sequencing the cells with the same network system in the first cell sequence according to the frequency band priority information to obtain a second cell sequence.
Since multiple cells of the same network type may have different frequency bands, the user terminal may also re-sequence the cells of the same network type in the first cell sequence according to the frequency band priority information, so as to obtain a second cell sequence.
And step 33, determining the cell to be accessed according to the second cell sequence.
The user terminal may select a cell to be currently accessed from the second cell sequence in turn.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, after the determining a cell to be accessed according to the second cell sequence (i.e. step 33), the following steps may be further included:
and step 34, accessing the cell to be accessed.
Step 35, judging whether the access to the cell to be accessed is successful, if so, ending the process; otherwise, step 33 is executed again until the cell access is successful.
In the embodiment of the invention, if the cell to be accessed is not accessed successfully, the cell to be accessed is determined according to the second cell sequence until the cell is accessed successfully.
It should be noted that, in the first cell sequence, the user terminal may sequence all the cells in order from high to low according to the network system priority, or sequence all the cells in order from low to high according to the network system priority. Similarly, in the second cell sequence, the user terminal may sequence all the cells in an order from high to low in the network system priority and the frequency band priority, or sequence all the cells in an order from low to high in the network system priority and the frequency band priority. However, no matter all the cells in the second cell sequence are sorted from high to low or from low to high according to the two priorities, the user terminal determines the cells to be accessed according to the sequence from high to low according to the two priorities until the cells are successfully accessed.
