Description

Cell registration method, device, mobile terminal and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a cell registration method and apparatus, a mobile terminal, and a storage medium.

Background

When a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) enters a region (e.g., a basement) with a weak signal, a problem that a cell cannot be registered often occurs because there are few cells which can be registered.

In the related art, in the cell registration method, the mobile phone first tries to record the registrable cell, and if the registrable cell cannot be acquired, the full-band scanning is performed, which generally requires at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds (for example, a 4G mobile phone), and in order to save power consumption, there is a period of time for stopping scanning between each scanning. This results in a long time, i.e. a long time, for the user's handset to have a signal when the user wants to register a cell in the repository.

Meanwhile, after a user enters a repository with a mobile phone, in each scanning process, it is likely that the mobile phone is performing scanning of a certain frequency band, but when the mobile phone performs scanning of the frequency band, the coverage area of a registrable cell in the frequency band is not found, for example, after the frequency band of the registrable cell is scanned, the coverage area of the registrable cell corresponding to the frequency band is entered, so that long-time registration is not performed.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

The utility model provides a cell registration method, which is applied to a mobile terminal, and in the method, when cell registration is carried out, a registrable cell set formed by all registrable cells in a target area is firstly determined, and then all registrable cells are scanned in a proper sequence according to the determined registrable cell set, so as to realize fast completion of cell registration, solve the problem that a user has no signal when entering a ground library, and improve the use experience of the user.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided. Referring to fig. 1, the method includes:

s110, a registrable cell set of the target area is determined.

The target area is, for example, a ground bank where the signal entered by the user is weak or other areas where the signal is weak. For example, the target area is a certain pool, and each pool should be configured with at least one registrable cell in general. After the mobile terminal enters a certain local base, in order to realize cell registration more quickly and accurately, a registrable cell set of the local base is firstly determined, and then cell registration is quickly and accurately completed according to the registrable cell set.

And S120, when the trigger condition is determined to be met, scanning the registrable cells in the registrable cell set in a set sequence according to the registrable cell set, wherein the set sequence is related to the sequencing sequence of all the registrable cells in the registrable cell set.

Wherein, determining that the trigger condition is satisfied is, for example: it is determined that a control instruction indicating that a trigger condition is satisfied is received.

In one example, after the mobile terminal enters a certain target area, a user inputs a control instruction for indicating that the trigger condition is met to the mobile terminal according to needs, and the mobile terminal determines that the trigger condition is met according to the received control instruction. The control instruction can be received by setting corresponding entity keys or virtual keys on the mobile terminal.

Of course, determining that the trigger condition is satisfied further includes: in the open state of the basement mode, when the registrable cell with the first rank or the last rank in the registrable cell set is scanned, the trigger condition is determined to be met. And determining that the scanned registrable cells are ranked first or last in a registrable cell set of the target area according to the ID of the scanned registrable cells and the frequency points of the registrable cells.

In one example, there are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, and the 6 registrable cells are in the registrable cell set in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F. When the mobile phone enters the ground base, the registrable cell set is determined, and when a certain registrable cell is scanned in the open state of the ground base mode, the ID and the frequency point of the scanned registrable cell are determined, and then whether the ID and the frequency point of the scanned registrable cell are consistent with the ID and the frequency point of A or F in the registrable cell set or not is judged. If the ID and frequency point of the scanned registrable cell are consistent with the ID and frequency point of A, the scanned registrable cell is A, and the trigger condition is determined to be met; if the ID and frequency point of the scanned registrable cell are consistent with the ID and frequency point of the F, the scanned registrable cell is indicated to be F, and the triggering condition is determined to be met; and if the ID and frequency point of the scanned registrable cell are not consistent with the ID and frequency point of the two cells, determining that the trigger condition is not met.

In this step, after it is determined that the trigger condition is satisfied, the registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in a set order, where the set order is related to the ranking order of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set. By the method, the mobile terminal can be better ensured to complete the cell registration. Here, it should be noted that, if the user does not want to perform the cell scan in the repository by using the method in this embodiment, the user may turn off the repository mode, and in a state that the repository mode is turned off, the mobile terminal still scans the registrable cell by using multiple full-band scanning modes at intervals in the related art, so as to implement cell registration.

The set order may be a ranking order of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set, a reverse ranking order of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set, or other orders.

In one example, the set order may be an ordered order of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set.

There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain pool, and the 6 registrable cells are in the registrable cell set in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F. When the mobile phone enters the local base and the triggering condition is determined to be met, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F, so that A can be scanned quickly, and the mobile phone is better ensured to complete cell registration.

In one example, the set order is a reverse order of the order of all registerable cells in the registerable cell set.

There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain pool, and the 6 registrable cells are in the registrable cell set in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F. When the mobile phone moves from the inside of the local database to the outside of the local database and the triggering condition is determined to be met, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the sequencing order of F, E, D, C, B and A, so that F can be scanned quickly, and the mobile phone is better ensured to complete cell registration.

S130, according to the scanned signal intensity of the registrable cell, the registrable cell meeting the registration condition is determined for registration.

Some registrable cells have enough signal strength to be scanned, but the mobile terminal cannot be smoothly used after being registered with the registrable cells, which results in poor user experience. In order to solve the problem, the method sets registration conditions, and after the registrable cells are scanned, the registrable cells meeting the registration conditions are determined to be registered according to the signal intensity of the scanned registrable cells, so that the use experience of a user is ensured after the mobile terminal completes cell registration.

In one example, determining that the registration condition is satisfied refers to the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell being greater than or equal to-100 dBm. When the handset enters the location base and determines that the trigger condition is met, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F.

A is scanned first, but the signal strength of A is-130 dBm, the signal strength is less than-100 dBm, therefore, A does not satisfy the registration condition, and then the cell is not registered with the registrable cell. And then scanning B, wherein the signal intensity of B is-80 dBm, and the signal intensity is greater than-100 dBm, so that the mobile phone and B are registered when B meets the registration condition. In the method, after the mobile phone is registered with the scanned registrable cell, smooth use of the mobile phone can be ensured, and the use experience of a user is improved.

It should be noted that, determining that the registration condition is satisfied may also refer to: the signal intensity of the scanned registrable cell is continuously greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value within a second preset time length. That is, when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is continuously greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value within the second preset time period, the registrable cell is registered.

The second preset duration and the second preset threshold may be set according to the user requirement, but for the accuracy and reliability of the scanning process in this embodiment, the second preset duration and the second preset threshold are data pre-stored in the mobile terminal.

In one example, the second predetermined duration is 1 minute and the second predetermined threshold is-100 dBm.

D is scanned when the mobile phone scans all registrable cells in the registrable cell set in the ground library in the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F, and if the signal intensity of D is continuously greater than or equal to-100 dBm within 1 minute, the mobile phone registers at D; if the signal strength of D does not continue to be greater than or equal to-100 dBm within 1 minute, then no registration is made with D. The cell registered by the mobile phone is ensured to be a registrable cell with better signal intensity.

According to the method, when cell registration is carried out, a registrable cell set formed by all registrable cells in a target area is determined, and then all registrable cells are scanned in a proper sequence according to the registrable cell set so as to realize rapid completion of cell registration, so that the problem that a user has no signal when entering a ground library late is solved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided. The method is an improvement of the step S110 in the above method, specifically, determining a cell set of the target area, and includes at least one of the following ways:

referring to fig. 2, a first method:

s210, when entering a ground bank mode started in a target area for the first time, performing full-band scanning for preset times, wherein any two adjacent full-band scanning are connected without intervals.

When the user starts the basement mode for the first time, the user can start the full-band scanning by turning on the self-learning switch, and under the normal condition, the user needs to perform the full-band scanning for many times in order to determine the registrable cells in the basement as much as possible. However, in order to avoid the power consumption from being too high due to the full-band scanning in a long time, the number of times of the full-band scanning is limited in this embodiment to be checked to be a preset number of times, for example, 5 times, 10 times, and the like.

Wherein, the preset times can be determined according to the requirement. In one example, the user may set the area of the corresponding region to 10 times if the area of the corresponding region is larger; if the area of the corresponding region is small, a small preset number of times, for example, 5 times, may be set. In another example, the terminal may also adjust according to the setting and scanning conditions, and if the signal of the scanned registrable cell is weak during the scanning process, a larger preset number of times is set, for example, 10 times; if the signal of the registrable cell scanned in the corresponding area is stronger, a smaller preset number of times is set, for example, 5 times, so as to determine more registrable cells and reduce the energy consumption of the mobile terminal.

In this step, when performing full-band scanning for the preset number of times, there is no interval connection between any two adjacent full-band scanning, that is, there is no waiting time between any two full-band scanning, so as to ensure that there is no time interval in the two full-band scanning processes, which causes the registrable cells in the repository to be missed, ensure that the registrable cells which can be scanned in the repository are all scanned as much as possible, and provide conditions for cell registration when subsequently entering the same area of the repository again.

S220, sequencing the scanned registrable cells according to the time sequence to form a registrable cell set of the target area.

When the repository mode is first enabled, since the user usually enters the repository from the entry of the repository, in order to conveniently determine the location relationship of all registrable cells in the repository, in this embodiment, the scanned registrable cells are sorted according to the time sequence, so as to form the registrable cell set of the area.

For example, there are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported from the repository to the innermost side of the repository, and the registrable cells are A, C, B, D, F and E, respectively.

When the user carries the mobile phone to enter the warehouse, the full-band scanning is carried out for 5 times, and no waiting time is left between every full-band scanning.

After entering from the entrance of the place base, the user continuously enters the place base, and according to the time sequence of scanning the registrable cells, the scanned registrable cells are determined to be A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence in the full-band scanning process, so that 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing sequence of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

Mode two (this mode is not shown in the figure): and when entering the target area in the ground library starting mode, acquiring a pre-stored registrable cell set of the target area by the cloud, wherein the pre-stored registrable cell set of the target area is generated by a history record uploaded by a mobile terminal of a user.

It should be noted here that the pre-stored set of registrable cells of the target area may be uploaded by any mobile terminal of the user who can upload the set of registrable cells of the target area to the cloud.

For example, a location base of a set of registrable cells is stored in the cloud, and the set of registrable cells is generated by a history record uploaded by a first mobile terminal of a first user.

When the user B carries a second mobile terminal to enter the basement, the registrable cell set prestored on the cloud terminal can be obtained under the basement starting mode of the second mobile terminal.

For another example, a registered cell set of a certain location library is stored in the cloud, and the registered cell set is generated by a history record uploaded by the first mobile terminal of the user a.

When the user A carries the first mobile terminal again to enter the basement, the registrable cell set prestored on the cloud terminal can be obtained under the basement starting mode of the first mobile terminal.

In one example, there are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a repository, imported by the repository to the innermost of the repository, with the corresponding registrable cells being A, C, B, D, F and E, respectively. When a user A carries a mobile phone to enter the warehouse, the full-band scanning is carried out for 5 times, and no waiting time is left between every two full-band scanning.

The method comprises the steps that after a user enters from an entrance of a place base, the user continuously enters the place base, A, B, C, D, E and F are determined according to the time sequence of scanning registrable cells in the full-band scanning process, 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing sequence of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed, and the registrable cell sets are uploaded to the cloud.

When the user A carries the same mobile phone to enter the local warehouse again, the mobile phone can acquire the registrable cell set determined when the user A enters the local warehouse last time from the mobile phone when the mobile phone is in the local warehouse mode, and can also acquire the registrable cell set from the cloud.

The method enriches the modes of determining the registrable cell set of the target area and further provides convenience for cell registration.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided, which is an improvement of step S120 in the above method. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, scanning registrable cells in a registrable cell set in a set order according to the registrable cell set includes:

s310, the registrable cells which are not scanned are determined from the registrable cell set.

In this step, when the mobile terminal enters the same area again and starts the vault mode, the registrable cells scanned in the same area are determined, then the registrable cells scanned in the registrable cell set are removed, and the registrable cells not scanned in the registrable cell set are determined, so as to avoid repeated scanning and reduce energy consumption.

For example, when entering the local repository, each registrable cell in the registrable cell set is not scanned, and the registrable cells in the entire registrable cell set are the registrable cells which are not scanned.

For another example, when entering the repository, 10 registrable cells in the registrable cell set are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively, and are arranged according to the scanned sequence when the repository mode is first activated. When the registrable cells numbered 1, 2 and 9, 10 are scanned but not registered, the registrable cells in the registrable cell set which are not scanned are the registrable cells numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

S320, the registrable cells which are not scanned are scanned in a set sequence.

After determining the unregisterable cells which are not scanned in the registrable cell set, scanning all the determined registrable cells in a set sequence. For the explanation of the setting order, please refer to the explanation of the previous embodiment.

In the method, repeated scanning of the scanned registrable cell can be avoided, energy consumption is reduced, and the cell registration efficiency can be further improved.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided, which is an improvement of step S320 in the above method. Specifically, referring to fig. 4, scanning the unregisterable cells in the set order includes:

s410, selecting the first X registrable cells from the non-scanned registrable cells, and selecting the last Y registrable cells from the non-scanned registrable cells.

Wherein, X and Y can be set according to requirements, and X and Y can be the same or different.

In one example, 10 registrable cells in the registrable cell set are respectively numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in the chronological order of the cells scanned when the repository mode is first activated. In this example, X and Y are equal, for example, both are 2, and at the initial time of entering the scanning, registerable cells numbered 1 and 2 and registerable cells numbered 9 and 10 are selected for scanning.

In another example, 10 registrable cells in the registrable cell set are respectively numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in the chronological order of being scanned when the repository mode is first activated. In this example, X and Y are not equal, for example, X is 2, Y is 3, and at the initial time of entering scanning, registerable cells numbered 1 and 2 and registerable cells numbered 8, 9 and 10 are selected for scanning.

And S420, after the scanning of the former X registrable cells is finished, scanning of the latter Y registrable cells is carried out.

When X is 1 and Y is 0, the set sequence is the sorting sequence of the unregistered registrable cells in the registrable cell set. When X is 0 and Y is 1, the set sequence is the reverse of the sequence of the unregistered registrable cells in the registrable cell set.

In one example, X is 1 and Y is 0. There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported from the repository to the innermost side of the repository, and the registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. When the user enters the basement with the mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence as the user goes deeper into the basement, and 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

When the handset re-enters the repository and the repository mode is enabled, the cells determined to have not been scanned are B, C, D, E and F. During scanning, after the scanning of the first 1 registrable cells is completed, the scanning of the second 0 registrable cells is performed. That is, the scanning sequence is B, C, D, E and F, so that B can be scanned quickly, and the cell registration of the mobile phone can be better ensured.

In one example, X is 0 and Y is 1. There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported from the repository to the innermost side of the repository, and the registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. When the user enters the basement with the mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence as the user goes deeper into the basement, and 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

When the handset moves from inside the vault to outside the vault and the vault mode is again enabled, the cells determined to have not been scanned are B, C, D, E and F. During scanning, after the first 0 registrable cells are scanned, the second 1 registrable cells are scanned. That is, the scanning order is F, E, D, C and B, so that F can be scanned quickly, and the cell registration of the mobile phone can be better ensured.

Of course, X and Y may have other values. When the first X registrable cells are scanned, sequential scanning is carried out according to the sequence of the first X registrable cells; and/or when the last Y registrable cells are scanned, performing reverse scanning according to the sequence of the last Y registrable cells.

In one example, X and Y are both 2, when scanning the first 2 registrable cells, sequential scanning is performed according to the ranking of the first 2 registrable cells, and when scanning the last 2 registrable cells, reverse sequential scanning is performed according to the ranking of the last 2 registrable cells.

And a certain local library is provided with 9 registrable cells, the 9 registrable cells are imported to the innermost side of the local library from the local library, and the corresponding registrable cells are arranged into A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I according to the scanned time sequence to form a registrable cell set containing 9 elements. When the user carries the mobile phone and enters the basement in the opening state of the basement mode, the determined cells which are not scanned are B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I in order to register the cells as soon as possible along with the fact that the user continuously goes deep into the basement. During scanning, B, C two registrable cells are selected for scanning, after B, C two registrable cells are scanned and no registration is performed, the two selected H, I registrable cells are scanned, when H, I two registrable cells are scanned, a reverse order mode is adopted for scanning, namely when H, I sequences are carried out in a registrable cell set, scanning is carried out according to I, H sequences during scanning. In the example, no matter whether the mobile phone moves from the outside of the ground vault to the outside of the ground vault or from the inside of the ground vault to the outside of the ground vault, the mobile phone can quickly scan the registrable cell, and the cell registration is ensured to be completed by the mobile phone, so that the use experience of the user is further improved.

In one example, X and Y are both 2, and when scanning the first 2 registrable cells, sequential scanning is performed according to the ranking of the first 2 registrable cells, and when scanning the last 2 registrable cells, sequential scanning is also performed according to the ranking of the last 2 registrable cells.

There are 9 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported to the innermost side of the repository from the repository, and the registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I respectively. When a user enters the basement with a mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I in sequence as the user continuously goes deep into the basement, and a set of 9 registrable cells with the sequence of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I is formed.

When the handset again enables the repository mode in the repository, the cells determined to have not been scanned are B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. During scanning, after the scanning of the first 2 registrable cells B and C is completed, the scanning of the second 2 registrable cells H and I is performed. That is, the scan order is B, C, H, I, D, E, F and G in sorted order. In this example, no matter whether the mobile phone moves from outside the vault to inside the vault or from inside the vault to outside the vault, the mobile phone can also scan the registrable cell to a certain extent quickly, and ensure that the mobile phone completes cell registration, thereby further improving the user experience.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided, which is an improvement of step S130 in the above method. Specifically, referring to fig. 5, determining, according to the scanned signal strength of the registrable cell, the registrable cell that meets the registration condition for registration includes:

and S510, when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is weakened from strong or continuously lower than a first preset threshold value within a first preset time, continuing to scan in a preset mode according to the sequence of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set.

The scanned signal strength of the registrable cell may vary from strong to weak due to the movement of the location of the mobile terminal or the registrable cell itself. When the signal strength of the scanned registrable cells is weakened from strong, the scanning is continued in a preset mode according to the sequence of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set so as to ensure that the cells registered by the mobile terminal are registrable cells with better signals and improve the fluency of the mobile terminal.

Of course, it is also possible that the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is not weakened by strong strength, but the signal strength of the registrable cell is continuously weaker, for example, the signal strength is continuously lower than the first preset threshold value for the first preset time period. The situation also affects the use of the mobile terminal, and the user experience is not good. In order to solve the problem, when it is detected that the signal intensity of the scanned registrable cell is continuously lower than a first preset threshold value within a first preset time period, the scanning is continuously performed in a preset mode according to the sequence of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set, so as to ensure that the cell registered by the mobile terminal is the registrable cell with better signal, and improve the fluency of the mobile terminal.

The first preset duration and the first preset threshold value can be set according to actual conditions. The predetermined manner may be to scan in the order of the registrable cells in the registrable cell set, starting from the registrable cell.

In one example, there are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a repository, imported by the repository to the innermost of the repository, with the corresponding registrable cells being A, B, C, D, E and F, respectively. When the user enters the basement with the mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence as the user goes deeper into the basement, and 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

When the handset is again in the repository and the repository mode is enabled, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F to scan to B, but the signal strength of B is detected to gradually weaken from strong. In this case, the mobile terminal continues scanning in the order of C, D, E, F, A and B to ensure that the cell registered with the handset is a registrable cell with better signal strength.

In one example, the first predetermined duration is 2 minutes and the first predetermined threshold is-150 dBm. There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported from the repository to the innermost side of the repository, and the registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. When the user enters the basement with the mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence as the user goes deeper into the basement, and 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

When the handset is again in the repository and the repository mode is enabled, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the sorted order of A, B, C, D, E and F for B, but the signal strength of B is detected to be below-150 dBm for 2 minutes. In this case, the mobile terminal continues scanning in the order of C, D, E, F, A and B to ensure that the cell registered with the handset is a registrable cell with better signal strength.

S520, determining the registrable cells meeting the registration conditions for registration.

The determination that the registration condition is met means that the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is continuously greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value within a second preset time length. That is, when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is continuously greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value within the second preset time period, the registrable cell is registered.

The second preset time and the second preset threshold value can be set according to the requirements of users.

In one example, the second predetermined duration is 1 minute and the second predetermined threshold is-100 dBm. There are 6 registrable cells corresponding to a certain repository, imported from the repository to the innermost side of the repository, and the registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. When the user enters the basement with the mobile phone, the scanned registrable cells are A, B, C, D, E and F in sequence as the user goes deeper into the basement, and 6 registrable cell sets with the sequencing order of A, B, C, D, E and F are formed.

When the handset is again in the repository and the repository mode is enabled, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned in the order of A, B, C, D, E and F to scan to B, but the signal strength of B is detected to gradually weaken from strong. In this case, the mobile terminal continues scanning in the order of C, D, E, F, A and B, scans to D, and registers at D if the signal strength of D is continuously greater than or equal to-100 dBm within 1 minute; if the signal strength of D does not continue to be greater than or equal to-100 dBm within 1 minute, then no registration is made with D. So as to ensure that the cell registered with the mobile phone is a registrable cell with better signal strength.

It should be noted that, the determination that the registration condition is satisfied in this step may further refer to: the signal strength of the scanned registerable cell is greater than the signal strength of the registered cell. That is, when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is greater than the signal strength of the registered cell, the registrable cell is registered with the scanned registrable cell.

When the handset is again in the repository and the repository mode is enabled, all registrable cells in the registrable cell set are scanned to and registered with B in the sorted order of A, B, C, D, E and F.

When the mobile terminal detects that the signal strength of B gradually weakens from strong to weak, the mobile terminal continues scanning in the sequence of C, D, E, F, A and B until D is scanned, and if the signal strength of D is greater than that of B, registration is carried out at D; if the signal strength of D is not greater than that of B, then no registration is made with D and the scan continues just. So as to ensure that the cell registered with the mobile phone is a registrable cell with better signal strength.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided, which is an improvement of step S510 in the above method. Specifically, referring to fig. 6, according to the ranking of all registrable cells in the registrable cell set, the scanning is continued in a preset manner, including:

s610, with the currently scanned registrable cell as a starting point, selecting a registrable cell after the registrable cell as the starting point in a sequential manner, and selecting a registrable cell before the registrable cell as the starting point in a reverse manner.

For example, the registrable cell set includes 6 registrable cells in the sorting order of A, B, C, D, E and F, the registrable cell scanned currently is C, the registrable cells after C selected in the sequential manner are D, E and F with C as the starting point, and the registrable cells before C selected in the reverse order are B and a.

S620, scans a registrable cell after the registrable cell as the starting point and a registrable cell before the registrable cell as the starting point in an alternating order.

In one example, the registered cell set includes 6 registrable cells in the sorting order of A, B, C, D, E and F, the currently scanned registrable cell is C, the registrable cells after C selected in the sequential manner are D, E and F, and the registrable cells before C selected in the reverse order are B and a, starting from C.

The scans are then performed in the order of D, B, E, A and F to more quickly scan to the next registrable cell that satisfies the registration conditions, ensuring proper use of the mobile terminal.

According to the method, the registrable cell which is close to the registered cell can be quickly determined, so that the use of the mobile terminal is better ensured, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: and determining a registrable cell set of a target area corresponding to the position information according to the position information of the mobile terminal. Wherein the location information thereof can be determined by a positioning function of the mobile terminal.

In one example, after a user enters an area with a weak signal by carrying a mobile phone, the location information of the mobile phone is determined according to the GPS location function of the mobile phone, then the area where the mobile phone enters is determined to be a location base according to the location information, and then a registrable cell set corresponding to the location base is determined.

In one exemplary embodiment, a cell registration method is provided. The method is a further improvement of the above method. Specifically, referring to fig. 7, the method includes:

and S710, when entering the ground bank mode started in the target area for the first time, performing full-band scanning for preset times, wherein any two adjacent full-band scanning are connected without intervals.

S720, sequencing the scanned registrable cells according to the time sequence to form a registrable cell set of the target area.

And S730, when the trigger condition is determined to be met, determining the registrable cells which are not scanned from the registrable cell set.

S740, selecting the first X registrable cells from the non-scanned registrable cells, and selecting the last Y registrable cells from the non-scanned registrable cells.

And S750, after the scanning of the former X registrable cells is finished, scanning of the latter Y registrable cells is carried out.

And S760, registering with the registrable cell when the signal intensity of the scanned registrable cell is continuously greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value within a second preset time period.

S770, when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is weakened from strong, or the signal strength is continuously lower than a first preset threshold within a first preset time period, selecting the registrable cell after the registrable cell as the starting point in a sequential manner with the currently scanned registrable cell as the starting point, and selecting the registrable cell before the registrable cell as the starting point in a reverse manner.

S780, a registrable cell following the registrable cell as the starting point and a registrable cell preceding the registrable cell as the starting point are scanned in an alternating order.

And S790, registering the scanned registrable cell when the signal strength of the scanned registrable cell is greater than that of the registered cell.

According to the method, when the ground library mode is started for the first time, all registrable cells in the corresponding area are determined, and when the triggering condition is met, the registrable cells are scanned in a proper sequence according to all the registrable cells determined when the ground library mode is started for the first time, so that cell registration can be realized when the corresponding area is entered again, cell registration can be realized quickly, and user experience is improved. In addition, when the registered cell is detected to be weakened from strong, the registered cell is taken as a starting point, the registered cell is scanned again in a proper sequence, and the registered cell with the signal strength greater than that of the registered cell and the mobile terminal are registered, so that the mobile terminal is ensured to be always registered with the registered cell with better signal strength, and the use experience of the user is further improved.
