AIQ 20 1 Empty (NULL) SBC_REQ
Table 1
After step 503, base station receive this information request message with covering NAP, be handed down to terminal with this place, base station NAP information of other NAP of covering together by response message with what store in self.
At SBC_REQ, response message mentioned in this step can be terminal basic capacity response message (SBC_RSP), then need in SBC_RSP, add and insert identification information (Access IdentityInformation, AII), AII is a compound type lengths values (tlv), comprise NAP ID or the frequency point information of one or more NAP with other NAP that cover, its form is as shown in table 2.
Name Type Length Value Scope
AII TLV 21 3*n Comprise n, 24 the NAP that is inserted is with the NAPID or the 3GPP frequency point information that cover other NAP, and n is greater than or equal to 1 SBC_RSP
Table 2
In the present embodiment, if NAP has initiatively issued the wherein information of other NAP of the same covering of storage by the base station to terminal, then terminal need not execution in step 502 and 503, but after the information of other NAP that receive the same covering that NAP initiatively issues direct execution in step 504.In the WiMAX system, terminal can initiatively will be handed down to the information of other NAP that cover by above-mentioned SBC_RSP message in the base station among the NAP.
Step 504, terminal receive with terminal after the NAP of preamble information with other NAP that cover, generate access network sign priority list according to the information of these NAP.
In this step, for the frequency point information in the information of NAP, terminal at first is the NAP structure NAP ID of this frequency correspondence, and according to the precedence information in the information of NAP, NAP ID is according to priority just generated the network identity priority list in proper order.The precedence information here can directly be the precedence information of NAP, also can be the terminal pricing information that inserts NAP etc., and for the latter, terminal determines to insert the priority height of the low NAP of price.
Step 505, terminal identify from access network and select the highest NAPID of priority the priority list, and then in step 506, the NAP corresponding with this NAP ID scans and be synchronous, and whether judgement is successful synchronously, if execution in step 507; Otherwise execution in step 508 judges whether all the NAP ID in the network priority list are carried out the scan-synchronized process that is over, if execution in step 512; Otherwise execution in step 509 is selected next NAP ID from access network sign priority list, return execution in step 506 then.
Step 507, terminal obtain this synchronous associated NSP information of NAP, execution in step 510 then.
In this step, terminal can be obtained the information of the associated NSP of NAP by sending a request message to NAP, also can be passive the information of the NSP that issues of the broadcast of reception NAP by the base station.
In addition, if in the implementation of this step or before this step, terminal by broadcast received this NAP of initiatively issuing of synchronous NAP with the information of other NAP that cover, then this terminal can be upgraded access network sign priority list, directly returns execution in step 505 then.
Whether step 510, terminal judges can be directly connected to the HNSP of this terminal by the NAP when preamble, if execution in step 511; Otherwise return execution in step 508.
Step 511, terminal connect with the HNSP of this terminal by the NAP when preamble, and carry out identifying procedure, judge then whether authentication is successful, if finish this flow process; Otherwise return execution in step 508.
Step 512, terminal are searched the non-optimal path that can be connected to HNSP, and are judged whether to find, if execution in step 513 according to the NSP information of being obtained in above-mentioned flow process; Otherwise directly finish this flow process.
Step 513, terminal are connected to HNSP according to above-mentioned selected non-optimal path, and carry out identifying procedure.
In the implementation of above-mentioned steps 512 and step 513, terminal may occur and select a non-optimal path, but be connected to the situation of authentification failure behind the HNSP, under this situation, if there are many paths that are connected to HNSP, terminal can be selected next paths again, and carries out identifying procedure again, until authentication success; If authentification failure always after all possible path is all chosen then finishes this flow process.
Here, terminal is searched the method for the non-optimal path that can be connected to this terminal HNSP, can be according to the precedence information of NSP, or determine according to the precedence information of NAP or in conjunction with the precedence information of NAP and NSP.Wherein, the precedence information of NSP can be that terminal sets in advance in self, also can be included in above-mentioned flow process in the NSP information, be handed down to terminal by network side, terminal preferentially determines to be connected to the non-optimal path of this terminal HNSP according to the NSP precedence information that is provided with in self.The NSP precedence information that network side is handed down to terminal can directly be the precedence information of NSP, can be the relation of the HNSP of NSP and this terminal also, and for the latter, terminal can be determined the priority of NSP according to the roaming relationships of NSP and HNSP.
Suppose certain multimode terminal present located network condition as shown in Figure 6, wherein the HNSP of terminal is the 3GPP home network, the network equipment of the current NAP1 correspondence that connects of terminal is WiMAXASN#1, stored among this NAP with NAP2 that covers and the information of NAP3, wherein the pairing network equipment of NAP2 is 3GPP AN#1, and the pairing network equipment of NAP3 is 3GPP AN#n.Then after terminal has been obtained the information of NAP2 and NAP3 by NAP1, generate corresponding NAP ID.Suppose that terminal is according in the definite NAP priority list of price here, that priority is the highest is NAP1, is NAP2 secondly, is NAP3 at last.Here owing to being connected NAP1, terminal suffered, therefore need not to carry out synchronously and scanning with NAP1 again, the NSP information of then directly obtaining NAP1 and being connected comprises that specifically this NAP is direct-connected to NSP1, NSP2, and both sign the information that roaming agreement is arranged with the HNSP of terminal respectively; Terminal judges there is not optimal path according to these information; Then terminal is carried out synchronously and scanning with NAP2 again, and obtains the NSP information that NAP2 connects, and specifically comprises the direct-connected HNSP to terminal of NAP2, after terminal finds optimal path, is connected to its HNSP by this optimal path and authenticates.Here, if authentication success, terminal directly is connected to the HNSP of self by NAP2; Otherwise continuation is synchronous with NAP3, and flow process is after this carried out and can no longer be described here according to Fig. 5.
As can be seen, by the present invention, exist under the situation of optimal path from above-mentioned example, terminal has been found optimal path, and is connected to its HNSP by this optimal path; Rather than, promptly be connected to HNSP by this path as long as find to be connected to the path of HNSP.
More than be explanation, in concrete implementation process, can carry out suitable improvement, to adapt to the concrete needs of concrete condition method of the present invention to the specific embodiment of the invention.Therefore be appreciated that according to the specific embodiment of the present invention just to play an exemplary role, not in order to restriction protection scope of the present invention.
