Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to pseudo base station identification, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for identifying a pseudo base station cell suitable for a communication device.
Background
With the rapid development of wireless communication technologies such as GSM technology, W-CDMA technology, LTE technology, etc., single-mode mobile phones and multi-mode mobile phones are widely used, and illegal people often send spam short messages (or short messages) to mobile terminal users through pseudo base stations to perform advertising promotion, fraud, etc., which seriously affects user experience.
Generally, a pseudo base station is composed of a host, an engineering machine, a notebook computer and a signal interference unit. The pseudo base station obtains a Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) frequency point and field intensity information of a 2G adjacent cell (adjacent cell) through an engineering machine, and selects the 2G cell for camouflage. And adjusting the signal strength of the pseudo base station, and sucking the pseudo base station into the mobile terminal for residence. When the mobile terminal resides in the 3G, 4G cell, the pseudo base station will force the mobile terminal to reside to the pseudo base station through the signal interference device. After the pseudo base station sends the spam short message to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is forced to leave the cell of the pseudo base station.
Currently, the existing pseudo base station identification method is mainly implemented by detecting a change of a Location Area Code (LAC) of a serving cell. By identifying the pseudo base station cell in the way, the mobile terminal must reside in the pseudo base station cell first, and the invasion of the spam short messages of the pseudo base station cell cannot be avoided. In addition, the pseudo base station can achieve the purposes of not changing LAC and triggering position updating in a short time after sending the spam short message by adjusting the periodic position updating time length, and the existing pseudo base station identification mechanism cannot detect the existence of the pseudo base station cell under the condition.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a new pseudo base station identification method capable of preventing the pseudo base station cell from camping.

It should be noted that, for the sake of convenience, the following description will use a mobile terminal as one of the embodiments of the communication device 100, however, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention is not limited thereto.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the memory device 140 may store prior information for identifying the pseudo base station, where the prior information includes a pseudo base station cell list and a real cell list, and is used to record relevant information of one or more cells corresponding to the mobile terminal. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pseudo base station cell list is used to record information of pseudo base station cells that the mobile terminal has identified. The real cell list is used for recording the information of the real cell in which the mobile terminal successfully resides. The cell information recorded in the second table may include cell identification, system information, and the like. For example, the Cell identifier included in the real Cell list and/or the pseudo Base Station Cell list may be, for example, a Cell identification Code (Cell ID), an Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN), a Base Station Identification Code (BSIC), etc., and the system information included in the real Cell list and/or the pseudo Base Station Cell list may be, for example, a Radio LINK TIMEOUT value (Radio-LINK-TIMEOUT), a Cell reselection OFFSET (Cell _ reselection _ OFFSET), a minimum reception level (lerxv-ACCESS-MIN) allowed for ACCESS by a Mobile Station (MS), a maximum transmission power level (MS _ TXPWR _ MAX _ CCH) of a control Channel of the MS, etc. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system information included in the real cell list and/or the pseudo base station cell list may also include an SI code stream (e.g., SI3, SI4, etc.) received by the MS, an MS average received level (RLA _ C), and the like.

According to an embodiment of the invention, a pseudo base station identification table may also be maintained in memory device 140. The Information in the pseudo base station identification table includes partial Information Elements (IEs) or all IEs in cell System Information (SI), and the parameter Information value range of these Information elements is established according to the main characteristics of the System Information of the pseudo base station cell different from the normal base station cell. Further explanation regarding the pseudo base station identification table may be found in relation to the example of fig. 4 below.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a pre-judging of a pseudo base station cell according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein fig. 2A is a flow chart of a pre-judging of a pseudo base station cell when there is a priori information of the pseudo base station cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2B is a flow chart of a pre-determination of a pseudo base station cell without prior information according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 2A, the mobile terminal receives the system information of the target cell in step 210, and according to the stored prior information (pseudo base station cell list) of the pseudo base station cell, the processor of the mobile terminal determines whether the target cell exists in the pseudo base station cell list. If the pseudo base station cell list contains the target cell information, the mobile terminal determines that the target cell is the pseudo base station cell in step 260, does not reside, and updates the pseudo base station cell list in step 260; otherwise, the mobile terminal will determine whether the target cell exists in the real cell list in step 230. If the target cell exists in the real cell list, the mobile terminal compares the system information of the target cell with the system information of the identified cell in the real cell list in step 240, and determines whether the target cell is a pseudo base station according to the comparison result (step 250). Specifically, the mobile terminal may determine how much the target cell system information differs from the system information of the same identified cell in the real cell list in step 250 (e.g., how many different IEs exist for the target cell system information and the system information of the same identified cell in the real cell list, and compare the number of different IEs to a threshold). If there are more than N (or not less than N) different IEs (N is a natural number), the mobile terminal may determine that the target cell is a pseudo base station cell and cannot camp on the target cell in step 260, update a pseudo base station cell list, and store information of the target cell in the pseudo base station cell list; otherwise, the mobile terminal may determine the target cell as a real cell and attempt to camp on in step 270. It should be noted that the determination of whether the target cell is the pseudo base station cell by determining the number of IEs between the system information of the target cell and the system information of the same identified cell in the real cell list is only an example of the present invention, and on the basis of the contents described in the present specification, a person skilled in the art may also use other alternative ways to determine whether the target cell is the pseudo base station cell according to the comparison result between the system information of the target cell and the system information of the same identified cell in the real cell list, which is not limited by the present invention. If the mobile terminal determines that the target cell does not exist in the real cell list in step 230, go to fig. 2B to perform pseudo base station pre-determination on the target cell in a manner without prior information.
In fig. 2B, if there is no prior information of the target cell, the mobile terminal compares the system information of the target cell with information (e.g., parameters of the system information) in the pseudo base station identification table in step 330, and determines whether the target cell meets the pseudo base station determination criterion according to the comparison result (step 340). If it is determined in step 340 that the target cell meets the criterion of pseudo base station determination, the mobile terminal determines in step 350 that the target cell is a pseudo base station cell and cannot camp, updates a pseudo base station cell list, and stores system information of the target cell in the pseudo base station cell list; otherwise, the mobile terminal determines the target cell to be a non-pseudo base station cell in step 360 and attempts to camp on. The pseudo base station determination criterion in step 340 has multiple implementation manners, and according to multiple embodiments of the present invention, the pseudo base station determination criterion in step 340 may include:
criterion one is as follows: if the system information of the target cell and the information in the pseudo base station identification table have more (or not less) than M IEs with the same value range (M is a natural number), the target cell is judged to be the pseudo base station cell; or
Criterion two: respectively setting corresponding weights for part or all parameter information in the pseudo base station identification table, comparing the system information of the target cell with the part or all parameter information in the pseudo base station identification table, accumulating the weights corresponding to one or more parameters which simultaneously appear in the system information of the target cell and the pseudo base station identification table, and when the accumulated weight sum is greater than (or not less than) a threshold value T1(T1 is a real number), determining the target cell as the pseudo base station cell; or
Criterion three: and dividing part or all parameters in the pseudo base station identification table into different value range intervals in advance according to the value ranges of the parameters, and setting different weights for the different preset value range intervals. And when the system information of the target cell is compared with the part or all of the parameter information in the pseudo base station identification table, determining the corresponding weight according to the value range interval corresponding to the IE in the system information of the target cell in the corresponding parameter value range of the pseudo base station identification table. After weights corresponding to some or all IEs in the system information of the target cell are determined, the weights are accumulated, and when the accumulated weight sum is higher than (or not lower than) a threshold T2(T2 is a real number), the target cell is determined to be a pseudo base station cell.
For criterion two, for example, the weights of the parameter information IE1, IE2 and IE3 included in the pseudo base station identity table are w1, w2 and w3, respectively. Comparing the system information of the target cell with the parameter information in the pseudo base station identification table, wherein if the system information of the target cell comprises IE1, IE2 and IE3, the accumulation weight ws is (w1+ w2+ w 3); if the system information of the target cell includes IE1 and IE3 but does not include IE2, the cumulative weight sum ws is (w1+ w 3). Then, the accumulated weight sum ws is compared with a threshold T1, and when the accumulated weight sum ws is greater than (or not less than) the threshold T1, the target cell is determined to be a pseudo base station cell. The weight value and the threshold T1 may be real numbers, and may be set by a manufacturer, a service provider, etc. according to actual design requirements. It should be noted that the above description of the embodiments is only for illustration and the invention is not limited thereto.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, for criterion three, for example, the value ranges and weights of the parameter information IE1, IE2, IE1 and IE2 included in the pseudo base station identity table may be, for example, as shown in table 1 below, when the values of IE1 and IE2 included in the target cell system information are compared with the information of the pseudo base station identity table, it is determined that the weights corresponding to IE1 and IE2 are w11 and w22, respectively, and the accumulated weight sum ws is (w11+ w 22). Then, the accumulated weight sum ws is compared with a threshold T2, and when the accumulated weight sum ws is greater than (or not less than) the threshold T2, the target cell is determined to be a pseudo base station cell. The weight value and the threshold T2 may be real numbers, and may be set by a manufacturer, a service provider, etc. according to actual design requirements. It should be noted that the above description of the embodiments is only for illustration and the invention is not limited thereto.
TABLE 1
Please note that the flow chart of the pre-determination of the pseudo base station cell shown in fig. 2 is only an example, if the execution result is substantially the same, the execution does not need to be performed strictly according to the sequence of the steps shown in fig. 2, and those skilled in the art can split and combine the steps in fig. 2 or omit and exchange the sequence of some steps without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Taking the 2G pseudo base station as an example, after the pseudo base station sends a spam message to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is forced to leave the pseudo base station cell by the following two ways:
a) changing the LAC of the service cell, forcing the mobile terminal to perform location updating, and enabling the pseudo base station to refuse the current location updating request of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal triggers network searching to leave the pseudo base station cell; or
b) Under the condition that the signal quality of a cell is normal, a large number of bad blocks (bad blocks) are sent on a Paging Channel (PCH), so that a mobile terminal is triggered to reselect and leaves a pseudo base station cell.
Therefore, the present invention further provides a method for identifying a pseudo base station cell according to various embodiments of the present invention, please refer to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flow chart of pseudo base station cell identification according to an embodiment of the invention. After the mobile terminal camps on the target cell in step 410, it determines in step 420: whether the short message sent by the network is received within T1 time after the mobile terminal resides in the target cell (T1 > 0). If not, the mobile terminal determines the target cell (i.e., the current serving cell) as a non-pseudo base station cell in step 460 and adds the serving cell to the real cell list. If the mobile terminal determines in step 420 that the short message is received within T1 time after camping on the target cell, it further determines in step 430: if the location update is triggered again within T2 time after receiving the short message and the network rejects the location update request, if yes, go to step 450, determine the serving cell as the pseudo base station cell, add the information of the serving cell into the pseudo base station cell list, and trigger the cell reselection or network searching process, so that the mobile terminal leaves the pseudo base station cell. If the determination result in step 430 is negative (i.e. the mobile terminal does not trigger location update within T2 time after receiving the short message, or the mobile terminal has triggered location update within T2 time after receiving the short message but the network corresponding to the serving cell does not reject the request for location update), then the mobile terminal further determines in step 440: and under the condition that the signal quality of the serving cell is not lower than a preset level, whether a large number of bad blocks are received on the control channel within T3 time after the short message is received. If yes, go to step 450, otherwise, go to step 460. According to various embodiments of the present invention, the Control Channel may include a PCH, a Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH), a Common Control Channel (CCCH), and the like. In step 450, the mobile terminal determines the serving cell as a pseudo base station cell, adds the information of the serving cell to a pseudo base station cell list to update the pseudo base station cell list, and triggers a cell reselection or network search process to leave the pseudo base station cell. In step 460, the mobile terminal identifies the serving cell as a non-pseudo base station cell and adds the serving cell to the real cell list to update the real cell list.
Note that In the determination of step 430 In this embodiment, the reasons for the network rejecting the Location update request may include #12Location Area not allowed, #13Roaming not allowed In this Location Area, #15No failed Cells In Location Area, and so on. It is noted that the location update rejection reasons mentioned in the present invention are not limited to the three mentioned herein due to the variability of the pseudo base station message.
In addition, in the determination of step 440 in the above embodiment, various implementation manners in the art may be adopted for monitoring the Signal Quality of the serving cell, for example, the Signal Quality may be characterized by parameters such as Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Signal Code Power (RSCP), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and the like. In step 440, when the signal quality of the serving cell is not lower than the predetermined level, the normal serving cell can ensure normal signal transceiving with the mobile terminal, and the pseudo base station cell forces the mobile terminal to reselect and leave the pseudo base station cell by sending a large number of bad blocks to the mobile terminal under the condition of having normal signal quality, so that it can determine whether the serving cell having normal signal quality is the pseudo base station cell by determining whether the serving cell has sent a large number of bad blocks to the mobile terminal. According to various embodiments of the present invention, the predetermined level of signal quality may be a preset empirical value of signal quality, or may be an average value of signal quality over a period of time, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, according to various embodiments of the present invention, in step 440, when the serving cell has normal signal quality, the number of bad blocks received within a predetermined time T3 after receiving the short message may be determined by comparing the number of bad blocks with a threshold number K, where the threshold number K is a natural number and may be determined according to an empirical value or an actual implementation and/or design requirement. For example, when the number of bad blocks received by the mobile terminal on the control channel within T3 time after receiving the short message is greater than or equal to K, it is determined that a large number of bad blocks are received in step 440.
