Embodiment
In order to the network selection mode solving prior art searches the inefficient problem of net, the invention provides a kind of network selection method and device, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, do not limit the present invention.
The present invention, by safeguarding an alternative PLMN list (SUGGESTED PLMN LIST, SPLMN) at the NAS layer (management level/Non-Access Stratum) of subscriber equipment (User Equipment, UE), realizes the preferential network selection of LTE.If subscriber equipment judges wireless access type (the RadioAccess Type of RPLMN, RAT) be not LTE network or RPLMN registration be the roaming network of LTE time, optional network information can be selected from SPLMN list to carry out searching net registration according to the rule preset.Can upgrade SPLMN list after succeeding in registration, back up with the LTE network registered subscriber equipment at every turn.
SPLMN list is the PLMN list safeguarded voluntarily by NAS layer to complete network resident fast.May be used for storing one or more optional network information in SPLMN list.The information of this optional network information registered LTE network before being subscriber equipment.Optional network information can comprise: the frequency that PLMNID, PLMN ID is corresponding and bandwidth.This PLMN ID is the code of PLMN, such as, be 46003,46011.Optional network information in SPLMN list has higher priority in four class PLMN.Such as: the PLMN in PLMN and the HPLMN list in EHPLMN list, can become the optional network information in SPLMN list.
Further, the quantity of the optional network information of SPLMN list maintenance can be fixed value, such as: quantity is 5.One or more optional network information of SPLMN list storage have priority, such as, the time sequencing determination priority of SPLMN list is entered according to optional network information, the optional network specific digit priority finally entering SPLMN list is the highest, and the optional network specific digit priority entering SPLMN list is the earliest minimum.The USIM that optional network information and subscriber equipment use is relevant.Subscriber equipment uses different usim cards, the LTE network of optional network information may be caused different, that is to say that the LTE network of first search is different, such as: the LTE network using the usim card first search operator A of operator A, the LTE network of the usim card first search operator B of operator B is used.So, need to mate SPLMN list according to usim card, otherwise after may causing changing usim card, subscriber equipment meeting priority of registration is to the LTE network of a roaming.
SPLMN list can be bound with the usim card of subscriber equipment, and names according to the IMSI of the usim card of subscriber equipment.After can obtaining the IMSI of usim card, name the SPLMN list of binding with this usim card for latter six that get IMSI.
Subscriber equipment uses SPLMN list to register LTE network, serves fast registration network, can reach again the preferential effect of LTE.
As shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the overview flow chart of network selection method according to an embodiment of the invention.
Step S110, subscriber equipment initiates automatically to search net flow process.
Subscriber equipment can search net automatically, and this is automatically searched net and refers to that subscriber equipment is according to the rule set in advance, independently completes search and the selection of network.Wherein, subscriber equipment can be the equipment such as mobile phone, intelligent terminal, multimedia equipment, stream media equipment.
Subscriber equipment, when starting up, can read the configuration information of subscriber equipment, to realize the initial configuration to subscriber equipment.
Subscriber equipment can read pre-configured EHPLMN list and HPLMN list in USIM, for selecting network by user equipment is prepared.The PLMN ID of the PLMN of limit priority is stored, as 46011 in HPLMN list; Can store the PLMNID of HPLMN of equal value in EHPLMN list, such as, store 46003 and 46011, represent that 46003 networks are equivalent to 46011 networks of limit priority like this, 46003 networks and 46011 networks can be considered as approximately equal.
Further, subscriber equipment, by reading usim card, can obtain the IMSI of subscriber equipment, and latter six according to the IMSI of subscriber equipment obtain the SPLMN list of binding with usim card.Wherein, when first time obtains SPLMN list, this SPLMN list is empty.
After subscriber equipment is ready, after initialization configured, subscriber equipment has started to search net in order to access network.Further, specify according to 3GPP specification TS23.122, subscriber equipment can first read RPLMN information, judges whether the network of RPLMN meets the requirements.
Step S120, determines whether RPLMN meets LTE priority condition.If meet, perform step S130, if do not meet, perform step S140.
Comprise PLMN information at RPLMN, this PLMN information can comprise frequency corresponding to PLMN ID, PLMNID and bandwidth.
LTE priority condition refers to that the wireless access type (Radio AccessTechnology, RAT) of the RPLMN of subscriber equipment is LTE network and the PLMN information of RPLMN is identical with one of them optional network information in SPLMN list.Judge whether RPLMN meets LTE priority condition, judge whether the RPLMN of subscriber equipment can be registered as LTE network exactly.If RPLMN meets LTE priority condition, then judge that RPLMN can be registered as LTE network, enters step S130; If RPLMN does not meet LTE priority condition, then enter step S140.Wherein the wireless access type of RPLMN can be distinguished by PLMN ID.
Specifically, the NAS layer of subscriber equipment is for safeguarding, controlling the information relevant with subscriber equipment access network.The information relevant with subscriber equipment access network should can comprise EHPLMN list, HPLMN list, SPLMN list, RPLMN etc.Such as: can the information such as RPLMN be safeguarded at NAS layer, RPLMN be issued AS layer.The network registry of the information realization subscriber equipment that the AS layer (Access Layer) of subscriber equipment can issue according to NAS layer.Such as: AS layer receives the RPLMN information from NAS layer, then according to RPLMN information search network, the network registry of subscriber equipment can be realized.
When subscriber equipment initiates automatically to search net flow process, the network not necessarily LTE standard of RPLMN, and subscriber equipment requires LTE network priority of registration, therefore the RPLMN information that there is NAS layer directly can not be handed down to AS layer and carry out searching net by subscriber equipment, but can utilize the RPLMN information of subscriber equipment registration last time.Judge whether the RPLMN of subscriber equipment meets LTE priority condition, that is to say and judge subscriber equipment the last time networking (RPLMN) of registering whether as LTE standard, and judge the PLMN information that RPLMN comprises, whether the frequency that namely PLMN ID, PLMN ID are corresponding and bandwidth are included in SPLMN list.Just can directly utilize RPLMN to search net if RPLMN meets LTE priority condition, if do not meet LTE priority condition, then SPLMN list can be utilized to carry out searching net.
Step S130, carries out LTE network registration by RPLMN.
When judging that the RPLMN of subscriber equipment meets LTE priority condition, the cell synchronous of the RPLMN that can specify according to 3GPP specification TS23.122 and register flow path, perform the LTE network registration of subscriber equipment.
Which registration speed is the fastest, can not affect Consumer's Experience because of searching net overlong time, and which can ensure that subscriber equipment always can not go the registration PLMN of low priority or the LTE network of roaming.
Step S140, carries out LTE network selection according to SPLMN list and registers.
When the RPLMN of subscriber equipment does not meet LTE priority condition, then according to the optional network information search LTE network of SPLMN list storage, so that subscriber equipment can this LTE network of priority of registration.Wherein, the PLMN information of the optional network information in SPLMN list and RPLMN belongs to same class information, optional network information just in SPLMN list may not be the PLMN information of the last registration, may be upper last time or more early registered PLMN information, and the optional network information in SPLMN list is all LTE standard, but RPLMN can only remember the PLMN information of the last registration and this PLMN information not necessarily comprises LTE standard.
SPLMN list may be used for storing one or more optional network information with priority.When judging that the RPLMN of subscriber equipment does not meet LTE priority condition, can carry out in turn searching net according to the priority of each optional network information of SPLMN list storage.
As shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the flow chart carrying out LTE network selection according to an embodiment of the invention according to SPLMN list.
Step S210, according to the priority order from high to low of each optional network information in SPLMN list, reads the optional network information in SPLMN list.
Step S220, according to the optional network information of current reading, the LTE network that search and this optional network information match.
Step S230, judges whether to search the LTE network matched with optional network information.
When LTE network can be searched according to the optional network information of current reading, then perform step S240.
When failing to search LTE network according to the optional network information of current reading, then return step S210.Continue next the priority optional network information reading the current alternative network information, the LTE network that search and low priority optional network information match, until LTE network register or optional network information reading in SPLMN list is complete.When the optional network information in SPLMN list reads complete, when also not searching LTE network, then terminate the flow process of carrying out LTE network selection according to SPLMN list, can carry out searching net and registering according to the priority orders of four class PLMN.
Step S240, when searching out the LTE network matched with this optional network information, then subscriber equipment is registered based on this LTE network.
Because, optional network information in SPLMN list obtains by LTE network registered before being recorded, so, utilize SPLMN list carry out web search can for subscriber equipment search fast net and registered network reference is provided, shorten the web search time of subscriber equipment.
Step S150, after user terminal is registered to LTE network, then according to predetermined Policy Updates SPLMN list.
This predetermined rule comprises, and upgrades SPLMN list and/or upgrade SPLMN list after user equipment registration to LTE network after subscriber equipment tracing section updating (Tracking Area Update, TAU) completes.
After user equipment registration completes to LTE network or TAU, the PLMN information according to the LTE network of user equipment registration upgrades SPLMN list.
Further, the PLMN in PLMN and the HPLMN list in EHPLMN list can be the member in SPLMN list.Specifically, if the PLMN of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment is present in EHPLMN list, and/or, if the PLMN in PLMN and the HPLMN list of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment is identical, and/or, if the PLMN in PLMN and the HPLMN list of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment is of equal value, can think that LTE network that subscriber equipment accesses is equal with HPLMN priority or higher than the community of HPLMN priority, then the PLMN information of LTE network can be saved in SPLMN list as optional network information to upgrade SPLMN list, so that the follow-up network selection of subscriber equipment can with reference to this optional network information.
The flow process that user terminal upgrades SPLMN list is concrete as shown in Figure 3, and Fig. 3 is according to an embodiment of the invention to the flow chart of the renewal of SPLMN list.
Step S310, receives the signaling message from network side.
This signaling message can comprise: subscriber equipment overall network system has connected (Evolved PacketSystem(EPS) attach complete) message, subscriber equipment tracking area update complete (TAU complete) message.EPS attach complete can represent that subscriber equipment completes LTE network registration, has accessed this LTE network.Subscriber equipment TAU completes and can represent that subscriber equipment tracing section updating completes.
Further, after only having subscriber equipment to complete LTE network registration, just can carry out TAU, in other words, subscriber equipment first receives the EPS attach complete signaling message that LTE network side sends, and just can receive TAU complete signaling message.Such as: after subscriber equipment access LTE network, carrying out TAU when carrying out cell merge, at this moment could produce TAU complete signaling message.
Step S320, determines the type of the signaling message received.
When the signaling message received is EPS attach complete message, then perform step S340.
When the signaling message received is TAU complete message, then perform step S330.
Step S330, judges whether the PLMN of subscriber equipment changes.If so, then perform step S340, if not, then perform step S380.
The current PLMN information of subscriber equipment can be comprised in subscriber equipment TAU complete signaling message.PLMN after PLMN and TAU before subscriber equipment TAU can be compared, judge that subscriber equipment receives PLMN in TAU complete signaling message whether identical with the PLMN in last time TAU complete signaling message.That is, judge that whether the PLMN ID of the PLMN after PLMN ID with TAU of the PLMN before TAU is identical, if identical, then the PLMN of subscriber equipment does not change, and performs step S380; If not identical, then the PLMN of subscriber equipment changes, and performs step S340.
Step S340, judges whether the current PLMN of subscriber equipment belongs to EHPLMN.If so, then perform step S370, if not, then perform step S350.
According to the description in step S110, subscriber equipment can EHPLMN list in reading SIM card when starting up, thus learns the HPLMN list of pre-configured equivalence.Before renewal SPLMN list, need to judge whether the successful current PLMN of user equipment registration is present in EHPLMN list, if judge, current PLMN belongs to EHPLMN, that then determine that subscriber equipment selects is the PLMN of high priority, can to SPLMN list update, thus subscriber equipment can be avoided to be the PLMN of low priority subsequently through the PLMN that SPLMN list is registered.Further, can judge that whether the PLMN ID of the current PLMN of subscriber equipment is identical with the PLMN ID of the PLMN in EHPLMN list, if identical, represent that current PLMN belongs to EHPLMN, if different, then represent that current PLMN does not belong to EHPLMN.When judging that the current PLMN of subscriber equipment belongs to EHPLMN, namely in EHPLMN list, there is the PLMN identical with current PLMN, then perform step S370, otherwise perform step SS350.
Step S350, judges whether the current PLMN of subscriber equipment is HPLMN.If so, then perform step S370, if not, then perform step S360.
Another one judges that PLMN be the method for high priority PLMN is judge that this PLMN is HPLMN.
Specifically, according to the description in step S110, subscriber equipment can HPLMN list in reading SIM card when starting up, thus learns pre-configured HPLMN list.PLMN in current PLMN and the HPLMN list of subscriber equipment is compared, if there is the PLMN identical with current PLMN in HPLMN list, then performs step S370, otherwise perform step S360.Further, the PLMN ID of the PLMN in the PLMN ID of current PLMN and HPLMN list can be compared, if identical, then represent that current PLMN is HPLMN, if different, then represent that current PLMN is not HPLMN.
Step S360, judges that whether the current PLMN of subscriber equipment is of equal value with HPLMN.If it is step S370 is performed, if otherwise perform step S380.
The information of one or more PLMN of equivalent equivalence can be comprised in PLMN list of equal value.This equivalent representation is equal to, and such as: comprise PLMNA in EHPLMN, PLMNA PLMNB of equal value, then can be considered as PLMNB by the PLMNA in EHPLMN.The PLMN ID of the PLMN of this one or more equivalence can be contained in the list of subscriber equipment, as EHPLMN list, and HPLMN list etc.
When subscriber equipment is after LTE network has been registered, the whole EPS attach complete signaling message issued from LTE network side can be received; Subscriber equipment, after TAU completes, can receive the TAU complete signaling message issued from LTE network side.PLMN list message of equal value can be configured in EPS attach complete signaling message and TAUcomplete signaling message.Subscriber equipment can store this PLMN list of equal value.Further, due to subscriber equipment upper once complete registration or on once complete TAU after, store the PLMN list of equal value that network side issues, so when subscriber equipment, this has been registered or after TAU completes, the PLMN list of equal value that this can be received substitutes the last PLMN list of equal value stored.By such mode, network side can inform that each PLMN in subscriber equipment PLMN list of equal value is equivalent equivalence.
Further, if do not configure EHPLMN list in SIM card, and current PLMN is not HPLMN, then the PLMN list of equal value that can only issue according to network side judges whether to need to upgrade SPLMN.After subscriber equipment completes network registry, PLMN list of equal value is handed down to subscriber equipment by network side, if now judge that PLMN and HPLMN of user equipment registration is of equal value, then what think user equipment registration is high-priority network.
When current PLMN and the HPLMN of subscriber equipment is of equal value, then perform step S370, otherwise perform step S380.
Step S370, upgrades SPLMN list.The information of current PLMN is added to the limit priority position in SPLMN list, delete the information of the PLMN of lowest priority position.
Specify according to 3GPP specification TS23.122, the PLMN priority that the community of the up-to-date registration of subscriber equipment is corresponding is the highest, so will the PLMN information added be needed to be placed on priority the highest position time the update mode of SPLMN list is each renewal.
The quantity of the optional network information in SPLMN list is fixed.The PLMN information of the LTE network that subscriber equipment can be accessed upgrades described SPLMN list as optional network information.Specifically, the optional network information of the PLMN information of LTE network as limit priority can be added in SPLMN list, and delete the optional network information of lowest priority in SPLMN list.Constant to guarantee the optional network information quantity in SPLMN list.Such as: in SPLMN list, comprise optional network information A, B, C, the priority of optional network information reduces successively from A to C.When needs D done optional network information add in SPLMN list time, then can using D as the highest optional network information of priority, delete the C that priority is minimum, obtain the SPLMN list upgraded, optional network information in the SPLMN list of this renewal is D, A, B, and the priority of optional network information reduces successively from D to B.
Step S380, SPLMN list does not upgrade.
The PLMN of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment is not present in EHPLMN list, PLMN in PLMN and the HPLMN list of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment is not identical and PLMN non-equivalence in PLMN and the HPLMN list of the LTE network of the current access of subscriber equipment, what then can think the current registration of subscriber equipment is LTE network or the roaming network of low priority, this does not upgrade SPLMN list.
According to said method, present invention also offers a kind of network selection device.As shown in Figure 4, Fig. 4 is the structure chart of network selection device 400 according to an embodiment of the invention.
This device 400 can comprise: determination module 410 may be used for when net searched by subscriber equipment, judges whether the registered PLMN RPLMN of subscriber equipment can be registered as Long Term Evolution LTE network.When the wireless access type of RPLMN is LTE network and the public land mobile network PLMN packets of information of RPLMN is contained in SPLMN list, then judge module 410 judges that RPLMN can be registered as LTE network.
