Detailed Description
When the idle UE performs cell reselection, the base station may specify the priority of the cell frequency through a System message (System Information) or dedicated RRC signaling, and the UE first attempts to camp on the highest priority frequency. However, the frequency priority transmitted by the base station can only reflect the service priority set by the telecom operator, but cannot reflect the service preference of the user using the UE, and therefore, the cell where the UE resides may not support the service in which the user is interested.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the user terminal performs cell residence, the network slice with the highest priority corresponding to the user terminal is selected according to the type of the required service from the mapping relation between the network slice supported by the user terminal and the cell frequency issued by the core network, and the residence on the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority is attempted. Since the network slice with the highest priority is determined according to the required service type of the user terminal, the user terminal can camp on the cell of the service of interest.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for managing mobility of a user equipment, which is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 through specific steps.
Step S101, when attaching to a core network, acquiring a mapping relation between a network slice supported by the user terminal and a cell frequency, wherein the mapping relation is issued by the core network.
In a specific implementation, when a user terminal attaches (attach) to a core network, the core network may send, to the user terminal, a mapping relationship between a network slice supported by the user terminal and a cell frequency. The mapping relationship between the network slices and the cell frequencies includes the identifier of the network slice and the available cell frequency corresponding to each network slice. The mapping relationship between the network slice and the cell frequency may further include a corresponding relationship between the tracking area and the mapping relationship between the network slice and the cell frequency. When the mapping relation between the network slice and the cell frequency does not include the tracking area, a certain network slice is available on the appointed frequency list in the whole network.
In practical application, the mapping relationship between the network slice and the cell frequency sent by the core network to the user terminal may be as follows: { Slice1, (Frequency1, Frequency2), (TA1, TA2) }, { Slice2, (Frequency3) }, { Slice3, (Frequency2), TA1 }. { Slice1, (Frequency1, Frequency2), (TA1, TA2) } is expressed as: the network supports network Slice1 at frequencies Frequency1 and 2 of TA1, TA2 area, TA1 being tracking area 1 and TA2 being tracking area 2. { Slice2, (Frequency3) } is expressed as: the network supports network Slice2 at the Frequency3 of all tracking area regions. { Slice3, (Frequency2), TA1} is represented as: the network supports network Slice3 at Frequency2 of the TA1 region.
And step S102, determining the network slice with the highest priority corresponding to the user terminal.
In practical applications, it is known that a network slice corresponds to a traffic type. Therefore, in the implementation, the user can set the priority of the service type in advance, thereby indirectly completing the setting of the priority of the network slice.
The user can set the priority corresponding to the service type on the user terminal, and when the priority corresponding to the service type is set, the user can set the priority of one or more service types.
For example, the most interesting demand service type of the user is Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), and the more interesting demand service type is Mobile Broadband (MBB). The user can set the highest priority of the MBMS service and the second priority of the MBB service on the user terminal.
It will be appreciated that in a particular application, different users may have different types of demand services. Therefore, when setting the priority corresponding to the demand service type, the priority set by different users may be different for the same demand service type, and may be set according to the actual needs of the users.
In a specific implementation, the user may also directly set a priority for each network slice supported by the user terminal. After acquiring the mapping relationship between the network slice supported by the user terminal and the cell frequency issued by the core network, the user terminal can display the network slice in the mapping relationship between the network slice and the cell frequency on the display screen. The user can set the priority of the web slice displayed on the display screen through the touch screen.
For example, the service type corresponding to the network Slice1 is an MBMS service, the service type corresponding to the network Slice2 is an MBB service, and the service type in which the user is most interested is an MBB service. The user sets the highest priority of the network Slice2 and the second highest priority of the network Slice1 through a touch screen on the user terminal.
In a specific implementation, the user terminal may obtain a current required service type according to the detected current operation of the user, and determine a network slice with a highest priority corresponding to the user terminal according to the required service type.
For example, the highest priority of the MBB service and the second priority of the MBMS service are preset, the MBMS service corresponds to the network Slice1, and the MBB service corresponds to the network Slice 2. And when the user terminal detects that the current required service type is MBB service, determining that the priority of the network Slice2 is the highest, and determining that the priority of the network Slice1 is the second priority. At this time, the network Slice determined by the user terminal is Slice 2.
In a specific implementation, when the user sets the priority of the network slice on the user terminal, at least one of time and space limitation can be added. The temporal restriction may be to limit the set priority of the network slice to be valid only in a certain time period, and the spatial restriction may be to limit the set priority of the network slice to be valid only in a certain area. The time limit may be in days or in hours or minutes. For example, the priority of the set network slice is valid within 8:30 to 17:30 of the working day. For another example, the set network slice priority is valid within 0: 00-23: 00 of the double holidays. The spatial limitation may be a limitation of a geographical area. For example, in an area within a coverage of a certain base station, or in a certain geographical area (e.g., the purdong new area), the priority of the set network slice is valid.
When at least one of time and space is added, when the user terminal determines the network slice with the highest priority, besides the required service type of the user terminal, the priority of each network slice is determined by integrating at least one of the current geographic position and the current time period of the user terminal.
When the time limit is added, when the user terminal determines the network slice with the highest priority, the priority of each network slice is determined according to the required service type of the user terminal and the time period of the current time. When the space limit is added, when the user terminal determines the network slice with the highest priority, the priority of each network slice is determined according to the required service type of the user terminal and the current geographic position of the user terminal. When the time limit and the space limit are added at the same time, the priority of each network slice is determined according to the required service type of the user terminal, the time period of the current time and the current geographic position of the user terminal.
For example, the user is set in 8: 30-17: 30 of a working day on the user terminal, the priority of the MBMS service is highest, the priority of the MBB service is next, the MBMS service corresponds to the network Slice1, and the MBB service corresponds to the network Slice 2. When detecting that the current time is in the time period of 'friday 12: 00', the user terminal determines that the priority of the MBMS service is the highest, and therefore determines that the priority of the network Slice1 is the highest.
For another example, the user is set in 0: 00-23: 00 of a double-holiday on the user terminal, and in the coverage area of the base station a, the priority of the MBB service is highest, and the MBMS service corresponds to the network Slice1 and the MBB service corresponds to the network Slice 2. When the user terminal detects that the time period of the current time is 'saturday 12: 00' and the user terminal is in the coverage area of the base station a, the priority of the MBB service is determined to be the highest, and therefore the priority of the network Slice2 is determined to be the highest.
And step S103, residing on the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority.
In a specific implementation, after determining the network slice with the highest priority, the ue may attempt to camp on the cell frequency corresponding to the determined network slice with the highest priority. In practical applications, camping on the cell frequency corresponding to the determined network slice with the highest priority level means: and residing on the cell with the strongest signal strength corresponding to the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority.
For example, the mapping relationship between the network slice supported by the user terminal issued by the core network and the cell frequency is as follows: { Slice1, (Frequency1, Frequency2), (TA1, TA2) }, { Slice2, (Frequency3) }, { Slice3, (Frequency2), TA1 }. The network Slice with the highest priority determined by the user terminal is Slice2, and the user terminal resides on the cell Frequency 3.
When the mapping relation between the network slice issued by the core network and the cell frequency further includes a tracking area, the cell frequency where the user terminal is to reside can be determined according to the tracking area when the cell frequency is selected. When the network Slice3 has the highest priority, the user terminal resides in the cell with Frequency of Frequency2 and the strongest signal strength within TA 1.
Therefore, when the user terminal performs cell residence, the network slice with the highest priority corresponding to the user terminal is selected according to the type of the required service, and the residence on the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority is attempted. Since the network slice with the highest priority is determined according to the required service type of the user terminal, the user terminal can camp on the cell of the service of interest.
For example, the user presets the highest priority of MBMS service and the second priority of MBB service on the user terminal. The network Slice corresponding to the MBMS service is network Slice1, and the network Slice corresponding to the MBB service is network Slice 2. When the required service type of the user terminal is detected to be the MBMS service, it is determined that the network Slice1 has the highest priority, and the user terminal resides on the cell frequency corresponding to the network Slice1, so that the user terminal can reside in the cell of the service of interest.
When a user terminal camps on a certain cell frequency, there may be a case where the camping fails. In practical applications, it can be known that successful camping corresponding to a ue means: the signal quality of the cell measured by the UE in the camped cell exceeds a predetermined threshold, which may be set by the camped cell through system messages, and the UE can correctly receive necessary system messages, such as Master Information Block (MIB) and other important system message blocks, in the cell. When the user terminal fails to camp on the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority, the network slice with the priority next to the highest priority can be selected from the network slices, and the user terminal can camp on the cell frequency for the network slice pair with the priority next to the highest priority.
For example, the user sets the network Slice1 with the highest priority and the network Slice2 with the second highest priority on the user terminal. When the user terminal fails to camp on the cell frequency corresponding to the network Slice1 (for example, the signal quality of the cell corresponding to the network Slice1 is lower than a predetermined threshold), the user terminal may attempt to camp on the cell frequency corresponding to the network Slice2, so as to ensure that the user terminal can normally access to the network and realize normal functions.
When the connected user terminal performs cell switching, the switched target cell is determined by the base station. However, when determining the cell to which the ue is handed over, the base station cannot take into account the preferences of the user of the ue for different services, and therefore, the base station may hand over the ue to a cell that does not support the service in which the user is interested.
In order to enable the connected ue to switch to the cell of the service of interest, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the ue successfully camps on the cell frequency corresponding to the network slice with the highest priority, the ue may send the priority information of each network slice to the base station.
For example, the priority information of each network slice sent by the user terminal to the base station is: the network Slice1 has the highest priority, the network Slice2 has the second highest priority, and the network Slice3 has the lowest priority.
In a specific implementation, the user terminal may directly send the priority information of each network slice to the base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user terminal establishes RRC connection with the base station, the user terminal may send priority information of each network slice to the base station through an uplink RRC signaling.
It can be understood that, in practical application, the user terminal may also directly send the priority information of each network slice to the base station through other signaling, which is not described herein again.
In an implementation, the user terminal may also indirectly send priority information for each network slice to the base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, after attaching to the core network, the user terminal may report the priority information of each network slice to the core network. After receiving the priority information of each network slice, the core network forwards the priority information to the base station, so that the base station can acquire the priority information of each network slice.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the ue may report the priority information of each network slice to the core network through Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling.
In an implementation, the priority of each network slice is not constant for the user terminal in the connected state. For example, the priority of MBB service is highest and the priority of MBMS service is second within 8: 30-17: 30 of working day; in the range of 0: 00-23: 00 of the double holidays, the priority of the MBMS is the highest, and the priority of the MBB is the next. For another example, in the coverage area of the base station a, the priority of the MBMS service is the highest, and the priority of the MBB service is the next highest; and setting the priority of the MBB service to be the highest and the priority of the MBMS service to be the next within the coverage range of the base station B.
In other words, the priorities of the network slices may change as time and space change. When the priority of any one of the network slices changes, if the base station does not know that the priority of each network slice changes, the base station may switch the user terminal to a cell that does not support the service that the user is interested in when the user terminal performs cell switching.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the base station from switching the user terminal to the cell that does not support the service in which the user is interested, when the user terminal detects that any priority information in each network slice is updated, the user terminal may directly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station, or may indirectly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station.
The user terminal can directly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station through uplink RRC signaling. The user terminal can send the updated priority information of each network slice to the core network through NAS signaling. And the core network forwards the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station.
And after receiving the updated priority information of each network slice, the base station can store the updated priority information of each network slice, and when the user terminal performs cell switching, the base station selects a target cell with the highest priority for the user terminal by adopting the updated priority information of each network slice.
The embodiment of the present invention further provides another user terminal mobility management method, which is described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 through specific steps.
Step S201, obtaining and storing the priority of each network slice corresponding to the user terminal.
In a specific implementation, referring to step S101, when a user terminal attaches (attach) to a core network, the core network may send, to the user terminal, a mapping relationship between a network slice supported by the user terminal and a cell frequency. Referring to steps S102 to S103, according to the required service type of the user terminal, the user terminal may determine the priority of each network slice in the mapping relationship between the network slice and the cell frequency. For specific contents of steps S101 to S103, reference may be made to the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.
After the user terminal establishes RRC connection with the base station, priority information of each network slice may be sent to the base station.
For example, the priority information of each network slice sent by the user terminal to the base station is: the network Slice1 has the highest priority, the network Slice2 has the second highest priority, and the network Slice3 has the lowest priority.
In a specific implementation, the user terminal may directly send the priority information of each network slice to the base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user terminal establishes RRC connection with the base station, the user terminal may send priority information of each network slice to the base station through an uplink RRC signaling.
It can be understood that, in practical application, the user terminal may also directly send the priority information of each network slice to the base station through other signaling, which is not described herein again.
In an implementation, the user terminal may also indirectly send priority information for each network slice to the base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, after attaching to the core network, the user terminal may report the priority information of each network slice to the core network. After receiving the priority information of each network slice, the core network forwards the priority information to the base station, so that the base station can acquire the priority information of each network slice.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the ue may report the priority information of each network slice to the core network through Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling.
The base station stores the priority information of each network slice after receiving the priority information.
Step S202, when detecting that the user terminal needs to perform cell switching, selecting a cell corresponding to a network slice with the highest supporting priority from candidate cells as a target cell for switching the user terminal.
In practical applications, it is known that the ue may send a measurement report to the base station. The base station determines whether the user terminal needs to perform cell switching according to the measurement report sent by the user terminal. For example, when the base station detects that the signal of the current serving cell of the user terminal is poor and the signal of the neighboring cell is good, the base station may decide to perform cell handover on the user terminal. When the base station decides to perform cell handover on the ue, the base station may select one of the candidate cells as a target cell of the ue, and the ue is handed over from the current serving cell to the target cell.
In a specific implementation, when the base station detects that the ue needs to perform cell handover, a cell corresponding to a network slice with the highest support priority may be selected from the candidate cells as a target cell for the ue handover. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network slice with the highest priority is: and the user terminal is determined in the mapping relation between the network slice and the cell frequency according to the type of the required service.
For example, the base station learns the priority information of each network slice as follows: the network Slice1 has the highest priority, the network Slice2 has the second highest priority, and the network Slice3 has the lowest priority. When the base station determines to perform cell handover on the user terminal, the generated candidate cells include candidate cell 1, candidate cell 2, and candidate cell 3. Candidate cell 1 supports network Slice1, candidate cell 2 supports network Slice2, and candidate cell 3 supports network Slice 3. Therefore, the base station determines candidate cell 1 as the target cell for handover of the user terminal.
Therefore, when the switching target cell is selected, the base station can determine the cell switched by the user terminal according to the priority of each network slice, so that the user terminal can be switched to the cell of the interested service.
In a specific implementation, the following scenarios may also exist: in all candidate cells, there is no cell corresponding to the network slice with the highest support priority. At this time, the base station may select, from all candidate cells, a cell corresponding to a network slice having a priority next to the highest priority as a target cell for handover of the user terminal.
For example, the network Slice1 has the highest priority, the network Slice2 has the second highest priority, and the network Slice3 has the lowest priority. When the base station determines to perform cell handover on the user terminal, the generated candidate cells include candidate cell 1, candidate cell 2, and candidate cell 3. Candidate cell 1 supports network Slice3, candidate cell 2 supports network Slice2, and candidate cell 3 supports network Slice 3. Since none of candidate cell 1, candidate cell 2, and candidate cell 3 support network Slice1, the base station determines candidate cell 2 as the target cell for handover of the user terminal.
In an implementation, the priority of each network slice is not constant for the user terminal in the connected state. For example, the priority of MBB service is highest and the priority of MBMS service is second within 8: 30-17: 30 of working day; in the range of 0: 00-23: 00 of the double holidays, the priority of the MBMS is the highest, and the priority of the MBB is the next. For another example, in the coverage area of the base station a, the priority of the MBMS service is the highest, and the priority of the MBB service is the next highest; and setting the priority of the MBB service to be the highest and the priority of the MBMS service to be the next within the coverage range of the base station B.
In other words, the priorities of the network slices may change as time and space change. When the priority of any one of the network slices changes, if the base station does not know that the priority of the network slice changes, the base station may switch the user terminal to a cell that does not support the service that the user is interested in when the user terminal performs cell switching.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the base station from switching the user terminal to the cell that does not support the service in which the user is interested, when the user terminal detects that any priority information in each network slice is updated, the user terminal may directly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station, or may indirectly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station.
The user terminal can directly send the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station through uplink RRC signaling. The user terminal can send the updated priority information of each network slice to the core network through NAS signaling. And the core network forwards the updated priority information of each network slice to the base station.
And after receiving the updated priority information of each network slice, the base station can store the updated priority information of each network slice, and when the user terminal performs cell switching, the base station selects a target cell with the highest priority for the user terminal by adopting the updated priority information of each network slice.
When the user terminal detects that the priority information of each network slice is updated, the user terminal directly informs the base station or indirectly informs the base station through a core network. The base station updates the priority of each network slice, so that the user terminal can be ensured to be always positioned in the cell of the interested service.
