Background technology
3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner program) propose in agreement and need to support a kind of MTC (Machine TypeCommunications with time tolerance characteristic, machine type communication) device, the MTC device with this attribute can the transmission of delayed data.
This functional purpose is when Radio Access Network overload, and Virtual network operator can stop the MTC device with time tolerance characteristic to be linked in network.
About this characteristic, 3GPP defines following demand:
(1) Virtual network operator can limit MTC device and is linked in network;
(2) Virtual network operator can apply this restriction within the specific limits;
(3) MTC device can determine when that it is limited for being linked in network, and the information as provided according to network determines whether initiate or delayed data transmission;
(4) only have when MTC server transmits data to MTC device, and MTC device due to by network limited and unreachable time, need to return an inaccessible instruction of MTC device to MTC server.
At LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system system broadcast message (SIB2) in can comprise IE (the Information Element of ac-BarringInfo, information unit), when the overload of a certain community wishes that limiting terminal is linked into network, ac-BarringInfo IE in system broadcast message can be set to suitable value, allow terminal not initiate to connect.
Detailed process is as follows:
Ac-BarringInfo can comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Signaling and ac-BarringForMO-Data two IE, wherein, ac-BarringFor MO-Signaling represents the access restriction of the connection establishment of the terminal active initiation due to signaling triggering, and ac-BarringFor MO-Data represents that the access of the connection establishment of the terminal active initiation due to data-triggered limits.
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 worthwhile in any one value.
When the value height carried during the random number that UE obtains is than ac-BarringFactor, represent that this terminal allows to be linked in network, otherwise the access of this terminal will be prohibited.
Ac-BarringTime represents the time that terminal will be prohibited to access, and unit is second.
In concrete application scenarios, terminal can safeguard 3 timers: T302, T303 and T305.
If T302 timer starts, then allly in RRC connection establishment request message be designated as MT, the access of MO signaling and MO call all will be prevented from.
If T302 timer expiry or stopping, but T303 timer is activated, then in RRC connection establishment request message, the access of all MO of being designated as call will be prevented from, but the access of MO signaling and MT type then can allow.
If T302 timer expiry or stopping, but T305 timer is activated, then in RRC connection establishment request message, the access of all MO of being designated as signaling will be prevented from, but the access of MT and MO call type then can allow.
The activation of T303 and T305 timer arranges relevant with the ac-BarringInfo in system broadcast message.
Wherein, MO call forbids access handling process schematic diagram as shown in Figure 1, assuming that T302, T303 and T305 timer now in terminal does not all activate:
Step S101, terminal initiate the connection request of MO call.
Ac-BarringFor MO-Data whether is comprised in step S 102, terminal judges SIB2.
If there is ac-BarringInfo in SIB2, and wherein comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Data, then perform step S103;
If do not comprise ac-BarringFor MO-Data in SIB2, then perform step S106.
Step S103, terminal generate the random number between a 0-1.
The ac-BarringFactor comprised in the random number of generation and ac-BarringFor MO-Data compares by step S104, terminal.
If the random number that terminal generates is less than the value of ac-BarringFactor, then perform step S105;
If the random number that terminal generates is larger than the value of ac-BarringFactor, then perform step S106.
Step S105, terminal start timer T303.
In such cases, terminal thinks that this access request is forbidden by community, therefore also can not initiate the request message of RRC.Now, terminal starts timer T303, and the length of T303 is then got by certain formulae discovery according to the value of the ac-BarringTime in Cell Broadcast CB.Within the time that T303 starts, the connection request of all MO call all can be prevented from terminal, until timer T303 is overtime.
Step S106, terminal think that this access request is not stoped by community, and terminal will initiate the request of RRC connection establishment.
Step S107, base station judge whether to accept access request according to current load request.
If base station allows this request, then RRC connection establishment request success;
If now load of base station is overweight, this request can be refused in base station, then perform step S108.
Step S108, after terminal receives the refuse information of base station, timer T302 will be started.
Now, the access of all MT, MO signaling and MO call all will be prevented from, until timer T302 is overtime.
Activation and the T303 of T305 timer are similar, and as shown in Figure 2, detailed process repeats no more its flow chart.
In existing technical scheme, the restriction access strategy not about MT in system broadcast message, network only has the RRC connection establishment request by refusing to be designated as MT to forbid the access request of MT type.
Realizing in process of the present invention, inventor finds that prior art at least exists following problem:
Before also do not have method to solve network to limit MTC device access network within the specific limits, and how MTC device determines that now network is also not illustrating of restriction access.
Embodiment
As stated in the Background Art, in order to limit MTC device access network within the specific limits, the MTC device determination current network of end side especially can be made whether to limit access, and the embodiment of the present invention proposes 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 provided for the embodiment of the present invention, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
Step S301, terminal equipment judge to receive system broadcast message.
The information of restriction MTC device access network whether is comprised in system broadcast message received by step S302, terminal equipment judge.
If comprised, then perform step S303;
If do not comprised, then perform step S304.
Wherein, the information of restriction MTC device access network, is specially:
Ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit; And/or,
Ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit.
In concrete application scenarios, the identifying whether information of above-mentioned restriction MTC device access network exists only needs terminal equipment to carry out the identification of corresponding information unit, if existed, then carry out corresponding subsequent operation, the design parameter numerical value etc. comprised in information unit is not then identified or other operations, thus, decrease unnecessary operation sequence, improve treatment effeciency.
Step S303, terminal equipment are set up and are stoped mark.
Wherein, stop mark for forbidding that terminal equipment sends the service access request corresponding with the information of restriction MTC device access network.
The particular type of the information of corresponding above-mentioned restriction MTC device access network, the processing procedure of this step is specially:
When the information limiting MTC device access network is specially ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit, the corresponding prevention mark of the service access request of MO signaling set up by terminal equipment;
When the information limiting MTC device access network is specially ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit, the corresponding prevention mark of the service access request of MO call set up by terminal equipment;
When the information limiting MTC device access network is specially ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit and ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit, the MO signaling prevention mark corresponding with the service access request of MO call set up by terminal equipment.
In concrete application scenarios, the specific implementation process that the corresponding prevention mark of the service access request of MO signaling and/or MO call set up by above-mentioned terminal equipment is:
What the rrc layer of terminal equipment sent MO signaling and/or MO call to NAS layer forbids access instruction; set up the prevention mark that the service access request of MO signaling and/or MO call is corresponding, concrete foundation stops the position of mark to affect protection scope of the present invention.
It is pointed out that after completing this step, need to return step S301, continue to carry out subsequent treatment according to the information in follow-up system broadcast message.
Step S304, terminal equipment allow self to send service access request.
Wherein, if terminal equipment is before the system broadcast message receiving the information not comprising restriction MTC device access network, has established and stoped mark, then this terminal equipment is deleted and is stoped mark.
Stop the process identified corresponding with above-mentioned foundation, delete the rrc layer stoping the process of mark to be specially terminal equipment and forbid access instruction to the releasing of NAS layer transmission MO signaling and/or MO call, delete the prevention mark that the service access request of MO signaling and/or MO call is corresponding.
After completing this step, need equally to return step S301, continue to carry out subsequent treatment according to the information in follow-up system broadcast message.
It is further noted that after step S302, namely after the information comprising restriction MTC device access network in the system broadcast message received by terminal equipment judges, also comprise following handling process:
Whether terminal equipment identification self has the time corresponding with the information of described restriction MTC device access network is tolerated characteristic.
If had, then terminal equipment is set up and is stoped mark;
If do not had, then terminal equipment generates a random number, and judges whether random number is less than referential data entrained in the information of restriction MTC device access network.If be less than, described terminal equipment is set up and is stoped mark, if be not less than, described terminal equipment allows self to send service access request.By the process of above-mentioned flow process, network side no longer needs maintenance class to be similar to the timer of T303 or T305 of the prior art, only need the identification carrying out information unit can realize corresponding access restriction operation, thus simplify the operating process of network side, improve the efficiency of access process.
Above-mentioned handling process is the handling process of end side, accordingly, and the handling process of the network side that the embodiment of the present invention also proposes.
As shown in Figure 4, the control method of a kind of terminal equipment access network provided for the embodiment of the present invention is at the schematic flow sheet of network side, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:
Step S401, network equipment judge whether to need restriction MTC device access network;
If judge to need restriction MTC device access network, perform step S402;
If judge not need restriction MTC device access network, then continue to process 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 exceedes default load threshold;
If exceeded, network equipment is determined to need restriction MTC device access network, if do not exceeded, network equipment is determined not need restriction MTC device access network.
Step S402, network equipment send the system broadcast message of the information comprising restriction MTC device access network.
It is further noted that before carrying out step S402, network equipment can also judge whether to need to limit other-end equipment according to presetting processing policy;
If do not needed, arrange in the information of the restriction MTC device access network that network equipment comprises in system broadcast message and equal 0 or be less than the referential data of default value.
Here mentioned default value is actual is that of pre-setting is with reference to numerical value, a very little numerical intervals is determined between this numerical value and 0, ensure that the numerical value that other-end equipment only has little probability to get in this numerical intervals is used as referential data, thus avoid producing too much impact to other-end equipment.
Concrete, the information of above-mentioned restriction MTC device access network, is specially:
Ac-BarringForMo-Signaling information unit; And/or,
Ac-BarringForMo-Data information unit.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

Below, in conjunction with concrete application scenarios, the technical scheme that the embodiment of the present invention proposes is described in detail.
When network side wants the access controlling MTC device in certain area, the technical scheme that then can propose according to the embodiment of the present invention, can the system broadcast message of community controlled (in concrete application scenarios, be specially SIB2) in carry the information of restriction MTC device access network, inform the access limited case of corresponding terminal equipment current network with this.
Wherein, in concrete application scenarios, the information of above-mentioned restriction MTC device access network specifically can be set to ac-BarringForMO-Signaling and ac-BarringForMO-Data two IE carried in SIB2.
When the MTC device with time tolerance characteristic find to comprise ac-BarringForMO-Signaling in system broadcast message or/and ac-BarringForMO-Data time, the rrc layer of MTC device is to NAS layer instruction MO signaling or/and the access of MO call is prohibited, now, prevention self is sent MO signaling or/and the access request of MO call to network by MTC device.
In subsequent process, when no longer comprising ac-BarringForMO-Signaling in system broadcast message or/and ac-BarringForMO-Data time, the rrc layer of MTC device is to NAS layer instruction MOsignaling or/and the access barred of MO call is cancelled, now, network allows the MOsignaling of MTC device or/and the service access of MO call.
Consider that the restriction criterion of the MTC device user of MTC device that network tolerates for the time and ordinary terminal and other types may be different, such as: the access that just can limit the MTC device user of ordinary terminal and other types when a certain cell load reaches 60%, and impact in order to avoid the performance of a large amount of MTC device access networks to Generic End-User, when cell load reaches 50%, network is linked in network with regard to the MTC device thought binding hours and tolerate, now network is for the MTC device user then not restriction of ordinary terminal and other types.
According to the method that the embodiment of the present invention proposes, when cell load reaches 50%, in SIB2, ac-BarringForMO-Signaling will be carried or/and ac-BarringForMO-Data.
Now, when the MTC device with time tolerance characteristic to read in SIB2 containing this two IE, MO signaling will be postponed or/and the sending request and transfer of data of MO call.And ordinary terminal also can generate a random value comprise these two IE in reading SIB2 after, to compare with the size of ac-BarringFactor value (referential data of ascending the throne above) according to random value and finally determine whether to initiate access request, therefore, in order to avoid now impacting the access of domestic consumer, now the value of ac-BarringFactor can be set to 0 or a less value, thus, the probability that the random value that ordinary terminal generates is less than ac-BarringFactor value just becomes very little, the MTC device of ordinary terminal and other types is made to be linked in network smoothly.
In addition, consider and may same MTC device to will be signed multiple feature in the future, suppose the characteristic of an a certain terminal unit contractual time tolerance, also to contract in addition the characteristic of a time controling, so, when the service request of MTC device is that when tolerating that characteristic causes due to the time, the method that MTC device proposes according to the invention described above embodiment performs.If now the service request of MTC device causes because of time controling characteristic, then MTC device can perform according to normal flow.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
By the technical scheme that the application embodiment of the present invention proposes, solve the problem of the MTC device access network of control time tolerance in certain limit, by the system broadcast message of the information comprising restriction MTC device access network, the MTC device with time tolerance characteristic being postponed is linked in network, change less to existing protocol, simplify the operation of the MTC device of time tolerance characteristic simultaneously, realize simple, reduce the cost of MTC device.
