In embodiments of the present invention, base station（Base station, referred to as BS) can be with user equipment (user equipment, referred to as UE) or other communication sites such as relay, communicated Equipment, base station can provide the communication overlay of specific physical region.For example, base station can be specifically the base transceiver station in GSM or CDMA（Base Transceiver Station, referred to as BTS) or base station controller（Base Station Controller, referred to as BSC);Can also be the node B (Node B, referred to as NB) in UMTS or the radio network controller in UMTS（Radio Network Controller, referred to as RNC);It can also be the evolved base station in LTE（Evolutional Node B, referred to as ENB or eNodeB);Or or cordless communication network in offer access service other access network equipments, the present invention do not limit.

In embodiments of the present invention, UE can be distributed in whole wireless network, and each UE can be static or moved.UE is properly termed as terminal（), terminal mobile station（Mobile station), subscriber unit（Subscriber unit), platform（Station) etc..UE can be cell phone（Cellular phone), personal digital assistant（Personal digital assistant, referred to as PDA), radio modem（Modem), Wireless Telecom Equipment, handheld device（), handheld laptop computer（Laptop computer), wireless phone (cordless phone), WLL (wireless local loop, referred to as WLL) platform etc..Fig. 1 is a kind of schematic flow sheet of the method for user access priority control provided in an embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 1, the embodiment of the present invention may comprise steps of：

Step S101, base station receive the access request that user is sent by user equipment (UE), and the access request carries the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (temporary mobile subscriber identity, referred to as TMSI) of the user.

Specifically, the access request can be the access request that user sends in access to wireless communication network, for example, can be attach request（Attach request), tracing section updating request（Track area update request), ask (service request), the H months good H to ask (extended service request) etc. the moon good H.Above-mentioned TMSI can be by Visited Location Registor（Visitor location register, referred to as VLR) distribution TMSI;Or, above-mentioned TMSI can also be the P-TMSI distributed by Serving GPRS Support Node (serving GPRS support node, referred to as SGSN);Or, it is above-mentioned TMSI can also be mobility management entity（Mobility management entity, referred to as MME) distribution M-TMSI;Or, above-mentioned TMSI can also be user's mark of other equipments of the core network distribution beyond above-mentioned VLR, SGSN and MME.

If step S102, the base station allow the number of users of access to reach rated specification, the base station confirms whether the user is high-priority users according to the TMSI.

For example, the base station confirms whether the user is high-priority users, can be included according to the TMSI：

The base station inquires about whether the user is high-priority users according to the TMSI to equipment of the core network, if confirming that the user is high-priority users by equipment of the core network, the base station confirms that the user is high-priority users.Wherein, equipment of the core network confirms whether the user is high-priority users, can specifically include：Equipment of the core network is according to the log-on message or signing information of user, and it is high-priority users to confirm the user.

If step S103, the base station confirm that the user is high-priority users, the base station is set up radio resource control RRC with the UE and is connected, so that the user accesses the base station.

In the prior art, user needs first to set up RRC with base station and be connected in access network, the related procedure of continuous access network after the completion of ability.For example, user can send RRC connection request during sending access request to base station to base station（RRC connection request) message；Base station is received after the RRC connection request message of user transmission, if base station confirms now to allow the number of users of access to reach rated specification, base station directly can send RRC connections to the user and refuse（RRC connection request) message, a stand-by period can be included in the RRC connection refused messages, waiting time is used to indicate that the user sends the time that RRC connection request message is needed to wait for again to the base station.For example, in the lte networks, waiting time can be 0 ~ 16 second.Therefore, if base station allows the number of users of access to reach rated specification, even high-priority users, it is still desirable to can just again attempt to access network after waiting for a period of time；Also, when the high-priority users again attempt to access network, there is no guarantee that can be with priority access network, so as to cause the communication experiences of high-priority users not good.

The method controlled using user access priority provided in an embodiment of the present invention, base station is allowing to connect When the number of users entered reaches rated specification, it can confirm whether user is high-priority users according to the TMSI carried in access request, and set up RRC with confirmed high-priority users and be connected, so that high-priority users access the base station, so as to reduce stand-by period of the high-priority users in RRC connection procedures are set up, the communication experiences of high-priority users are improved.Alternatively, base station described in above-mentioned steps S102 confirms whether the user is high-priority users, can also be included according to the TMSI：The base station confirms whether the TMSI is high priority TMSI;If the TMSI is high priority TMSI, the base station confirms that the user is high-priority users.

Specifically, above-mentioned high priority TMSI can be the high priority TMSI that equipment of the core network distributes for the user in advance, including：The high priority TMSI is the TMSI with one or more tag bits, and one or more of tag bits are used to identify user for high-priority users；Or, the high priority TMSI is the TMSI for being located at particular number section, and the TMSI positioned at particular number section is used to identify user for high-priority users.

Because TMSI distribution can be the proprietary protocol of operator, TMSI specific value can be according to accordingly being selected the need for operator, and the specific implementation not to high priority TMSI is carried out herein --- limit.As long as it should be understood that meet the above-mentioned scheme for using one or more tag bit mark users for high-priority users；Or the above-mentioned TMSI mark users for using particular number section are met for the scheme of high-priority users；It all should be considered as disclosure of the embodiment of the present invention either to select other specific TMSI to be used to identify the technical scheme that user is high-priority users.

For example, when above-mentioned TMSI is the M-TMSI distributed by MME, MME can confirm whether user is high-priority users in the attachment flow or tracing section updating flow of user, according to the log-on message or signing information of user；After confirming that user is high-priority users, MME can distribute above-mentioned high priority TMSI for the high-priority users;Or, MME can also be in terminal Global unique temporary identity（Globally unique temporary UE identity, referred to as GUTI) reassign in flow, it is that high-priority users distribute above-mentioned high priority TMSI. When equipment of the core network is that high-priority users distribute above-mentioned high priority TMSI, above-mentioned high priority TMSI can be sent to base station, above-mentioned high priority TMSI is sent to the high-priority users by the base station.The base station is received after above-mentioned high priority TMSI, can preserve above-mentioned high priority TMSI, so that whether the follow-up TMSI for confirming that user carries in access request is above-mentioned high priority TMSI;Or, equipment of the core network and base station are made an appointment above-mentioned high priority TMSI type and form, subsequent base stations are when receiving the TMSI that user carries in access request, if allowing the number of users of access to reach maximum specification, base station can by parse or check the TMSI specific value or other operate, without being inquired about again to equipment of the core network, you can whether be the high priority TMSI that makes an appointment, and then determine whether the user is high-priority users if determining the TMSI.

User is received after high priority TMSI of the MME for its distribution, can preserve high priority TMSI.When user's access network again, high priority TMSI can be carried in access request, so that base station can confirm that the user is high-priority users by high priority TMSI, so as to enjoy the service of high priority access.

The method of the user access priority control provided using the alternative embodiment, base station is when the number of users for allowing to access reaches rated specification, whether can be high priority TMSI according to the TMSI carried in access request, whether it is high-priority users that user can be confirmed, eliminate Signalling exchange expense and the time delay between base station and equipment of the core network, so as to further reduce stand-by period of the high-priority users in RRC connection procedures are set up, the communication experiences of high-priority users are improved.

Alternatively, in above-mentioned steps S103, it may also include：

The base station is before foundation completion is connected with the RRC of the UE, the resource that release low priority user takes, to provide resource for the user.

Above-mentioned low priority user can be the other users that user class is less than the high-priority users；Or, above-mentioned low priority user can also be the other users for not carrying out Operational Visit for a long time；Or for example, in LTE networks, the resource that above-mentioned release low priority user takes can be S1 release flows (SI release procedure). The technical scheme provided using the alternative embodiment, the base station is by discharging the resource that low priority user takes, such as device resource, interface-free resources or transfer resource, these resources discharged can be reserved for the high-priority users, so as to ensure that the high-priority users there can be resource to use after access network.

Alternatively, in above-mentioned steps S103, it may also include：

The base station is after foundation completion is connected with the RRC of the UE, the resource that release low priority user takes, to provide resource for the user.

Above-mentioned low priority user can be the other users that user class is less than the high-priority users；Or, above-mentioned low priority user can also be the other users for not carrying out Operational Visit for a long time；Or for example, in LTE networks, the resource that above-mentioned release low priority user takes can be S1 release flows (SI release procedure).

The technical scheme provided using the alternative embodiment, the flow for the resource that base station can take without waiting for release low priority user is completed, RRC just can be set up with high-priority users to be connected, although base station allows the number of users of access to be more than rated specification in the short time, but stand-by period of the high-priority users in RRC connection procedures are set up can be reduced, lift the communication experiences of high-priority users.And; because base station is at the rated specification of the default number of users for allowing to access simultaneously; generally can also reserve a small amount of resource prevents the appearance of emergency situations, therefore, and the situation that base station allows the number of users of access to be more than rated specification in the above-mentioned short time can't influence the stable operation of network.Fig. 2 is a kind of schematic flow sheet of the method for user access priority control provided in an embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Fig. 2 the embodiment of the present invention may comprise steps of：

Step S201, user send access request by user equipment (UE) to base station, and the access request carries the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity TMSI of the user;

If step S202, the base station allow the number of users of access to reach rated specification, after confirming the user for high-priority users according to the TMSI in the base station, the UE is built with the base station Vertical radio resource control RRC connection, so that the user accesses the base station.

Alternatively, user confirms as high-priority users by the base station described in above-mentioned steps S202, can include：The TMSI confirms as high priority TMSI by the base station, and the user confirms as high-priority users by the base station.Then before the user sends access request by UE to base station, methods described may also include：It is the high priority TMSL that the user distributes that the UE, which receives equipment of the core network,

Alternatively, the high priority TMSI can be the TMSI with one or more tag bits, and one or more of tag bits are used to identify user for high-priority users；Or, the high priority TMSI can also be the TMSI for being located at particular number section, and the TMSI positioned at particular number section is used to identify user for high-priority users.

It should be understood that, it is that the high priority TMSI that the user distributes can be performed during user access network that the UE, which receives equipment of the core network, for example can be to be performed in attachment flow or tracing section updating flow or in GUTI reassigns flow.Also, the access network process that the UE receives high priority TMSI can separately be carried out with execution step S201, step S202 access network process.In other words, UE is received after the high priority TMSI that equipment of the core network distributes for the user, can first preserve high priority TMSI, and high priority TMSI is reused when the follow-up access networks again of UE.

The method of the user access priority control provided using the alternative embodiment, high-priority users are in access network, the high priority TMSI that equipment of the core network is its distribution can be received, when high-priority users access network again, high priority TMSI can be carried in access request, so that base station can confirm that the user is high-priority users by high priority TMSI, so as to enjoy the service of high priority access. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is consistent with the method for the user access priority control that Fig. 1 illustrated embodiments are provided, Fig. 1 illustrated embodiments illustrate this method from base station side, the embodiment of the present invention introduces this method from UE sides, the content not elaborated herein, may be referred to the introduction in embodiment illustrated in fig. 1.In order to illustrate more clearly of the method for the user access priority control provided in Fig. 1 or embodiment illustrated in fig. 2, specific method flow is further schematically illustrated with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.

Fig. 3 is a kind of schematic flow sheet of the method for user access priority control provided in an embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 3, the embodiment of the present invention may comprise steps of：

Step S301, user send wireless heterogeneous networks by user equipment (UE) to base station（Radio resource control, RRC) connection request (RRC connection request) message, the RRC connection request messages carry the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity TMSI of the user.

For example, in the lte networks, the RRC connections that user is sent by UE to base station, which are set up, can carry S-TMSI in message, the M-TMSL that the S-TMSI can distribute for the user in advance comprising MME

Alternatively, if the user is high-priority users, equipment of the core network can allocate the high priority TMSI described in embodiment as shown in Figure 1 in advance for the user.Then for high-priority users, the TMSI carried in above-mentioned RRC connection request message is high priority TMSI.In other words, now, the TMSI and high priority TMSI is same TMSI.

Step S302, the base station are received after the RRC connection request message, if the base station allows the number of users of access to reach rated specification, the base station confirms whether the user is high-priority users according to the TMSI.

For example, the base station is after the RRC connection request message is received, it can first confirm to allow whether the number of users of access reaches rated specification；If allowing the number of users of access to reach rated specification, the base station can continue to confirm whether the user is high-priority users.Alternatively, the base station can confirm that whether the TMSI is high priority TMSI;If the TMSI is high priority TMSI, institute State base station and confirm that the user is high-priority users.

If step S303, the base station have confirmed that the user is high-priority users, the resource that the base station release low priority user takes, to provide resource for the high-priority users.

Step S304, the base station send RRC connections to the user and set up（RRC connection setup) message.

The RRC connections that step S305, the UE receive the base station transmission are set up after message, and setting up RRC with the base station is connected, and continues the access process of user.

For example, in the lte networks, UE receives the RRC connections and set up after message, RRC connections can be sent to the base station and set up completion (RRC connection setup complete) message, confirmation is set up RRC with the base station and is connected, and then can send Non-Access Stratum to base station（Non access stratum, referred to as NAS) message, enjoy the service that network is provided.

The method controlled using user access priority provided in an embodiment of the present invention, user can be set up in RRC connections and TMSI is carried in message in access network;If base station allows the number of users of access to reach rated specification, base station can confirm whether the user is high-priority users according to the TMSI；If it is high-priority users to have confirmed that the user, base station can first discharge the resource of low priority user occupancy, and message is set up to reserve resource for the high-priority users, and to send RRC connections to the user；The user is being received after the RRC connections set up message, can the base station set up RRC connections, and continue access process, so as to enjoy the access service of high priority.Fig. 4 is a kind of schematic flow sheet of the method for user access priority control provided in an embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 4, the embodiment of the present invention may comprise steps of：

Step S401, user send RRC connection request message by user equipment (UE) to base station, and the RRC connection request message carries the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity TMSI of the user.

Step S402, the base station are received after the RRC connection request message, if the base station allows the number of users of access to reach rated specification, the base station confirms whether the user is high-priority users according to the TMSI. If step S403, the base station have confirmed that the user is high-priority users, the base station sends RRC connections to the user and sets up message.

The RRC connections that step S404, the UE receive the base station transmission are set up after message, and setting up RRC with the base station is connected, and continues the access process of user.

The resource that step S405, base station release low priority user take, to provide resource for high-priority users.
