Background

Currently, whether the terminal device has the capability of accessing a fifth-Generation (5 th-Generation, 5G) network can be determined by querying a Type assignment Code number (TAC) library through the first eight bits of an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).

It should be appreciated that fig. 1 is a simplified schematic diagram of an example for ease of understanding only, and that other network devices, and/or other terminal devices, not shown in fig. 1, may also be included in the communication system.

The following describes a method for determining a target terminal according to an embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a target terminal according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:

s201, a first terminal device set is obtained.

The terminal devices in the first terminal device set support a first standard, such as a 5G network standard. The 5G network standard may include one or more of: non-Stand Alone (NSA) or Stand Alone (SA).

Next, two networking methods, 5G NSA and 5G SA, will be specifically described with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a 5G NSA according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, taking an Option 3x scenario of a 5G NSA as an example, the 5G NSA adopts a Dual Connectivity (DC) architecture based on 4G and 5G of a 4G core network, and a control plane is anchored in a 4G access network device 301, that is, all control plane signaling is forwarded through the 4G access network device 301, but a user plane is connected to the 4G core network through a 5G access network device 302, and user plane data is divided into two parts: migrating a portion to a 5G access network device; and the other part, continuing to forward through the 4G access network equipment.

Specifically, when the terminal device 303 accesses the 4G network, the control plane signaling and the user plane data are both forwarded by the 4G access network device 301; when the terminal device 303 accesses the 5G network, the control plane signalling is still forwarded by the 4G access network device 301, but the user plane data is forwarded by the 5G access network device 302.

As described above, the 5G NSA can not only provide high data rate services for users, but also continue to use the already established 4G access network devices and 4G core network devices, and only the 5G access network devices need to be built, so that the construction cost is low, and therefore the 5G NSA is the networking mode which is currently used most widely.

Fig. 4 is a schematic architecture diagram of a 5G SA according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, in the 5G SA architecture, a form of single connection between a 5G core network and a 5G access network device 401 is adopted, that is, if the architecture of a 5G SA is adopted, both the core network device and the access network device need to be rebuilt, and the construction cost is high, so the architecture of the 5G SA is currently applied very rarely.

Specifically, in S201, whether the terminal device supports the first system may be determined according to the capability information of the terminal device.

For example, the terminal equipment is judged to support 5G NSA according to the field of 'en-DC-r 15' in the UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message, or the terminal equipment is judged to support 5G SA according to the field of 'SA-NR-r 15' in the UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message.

In addition, the access network device may obtain capability information of the terminal device from the terminal device, another access network device, or the core network device, so as to determine whether the terminal device supports the first standard.

Optionally, the core network device may store the capability information of the accessed terminal device, or acquire the capability information of the terminal device from the terminal device, another core network device, or the access network device, so as to determine whether the terminal device supports the first standard.

For example, the core network device obtains the signaling containing the UE CAPABILITY information INDICATION message from the access network device through the S1 interface.

Next, with reference to fig. 5, the following describes specifically that the core network device acquires a signaling containing a UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message.

First, if there is no capability information of the terminal device in the core network device, the core network device configures an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST (INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST) message to the access network device through the S1 interface to SETUP a service.

Then, the access network device triggers a terminal device Capability query process, that is, the access network device sends a reporting Capability query (UE Capability query) message to the terminal device to request the terminal device to report the Capability.

Then, the terminal device sends its own Capability Information (UE Capability Information) message to the access network device, so as to report the Capability Information to the access network device.

After that, the access network device sends a CAPABILITY information INDICATION (UE CAPABILITY information) message of the terminal device to the core network device.

Referring to fig. 5, taking the first standard as a 5G network standard as an example, a method for a core network device to determine whether a terminal device supports the first standard according to a UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message is specifically described.

As shown in fig. 5, the UE CAPABILITY information message includes a UE Radio CAPABILITY cell, and the UE Radio CAPABILITY cell records a UE Radio access CAPABILITY information message;

the UERadioacessCapabilityinformation message comprises a UERadioacessCapabilityinformation-r 8 cell;

the ueRadioaccessCapabilityInformation-r8 cell comprises a UECapabilityInformation cell;

the UECapabilityInformation cell comprises a UECapabilityInformation-r8 cell;

the ueCapabilityInformation-r8 cell includes a ue-CapabilityRAT-ContainerList cell;

the UE-CapabilityRAT-ContainerList cell includes a UE-CapabilityRAT-Container cell;

the UE-CapabilityRAT-Container information element comprises a ueCapabilityRAT-Container information element;

the ueCapability RAT-Container cell is defined as a UE-EUTRA-Capability cell under the 4G network;

the UE-EUTRA-Capability information cell comprises an IRAT-ParametersNR-r15 and an IRAT-ParametersNR-v1540 information cell;

the IRAT-Parameters NR-r15 cell includes en-DC-r15; the IRAT-ParametersNR-v1540 cell includes sa-NR-r15.

Wherein, if the IRAT-parameternr-r 15 information element includes the en-DC-r15 field, it indicates that the terminal device supports 5G NSA, i.e. the terminal device is included in the first set of terminal devices.

If the IRAT-parameters NR-v1540 information element includes the SA-NR-r15 field, it indicates that the terminal device supports 5G SA, i.e. the terminal device is included in the first set of terminal devices.

If the IRAT-parameternr-r 15 cell does not include the en-DC-r15 field and the IRAT-parameternr-v 1540 cell does not include the sa-NR-r15 field, it indicates that the terminal device does not support the 5G network system, i.e., the terminal device is not included in the first set of terminal devices.

S202, the terminal equipment which is not accessed into the first wireless network in the first terminal equipment set is determined as the target terminal of the first wireless network.

Wherein the first wireless network supports a first standard.

For example, if the first standard is a 5G network standard, the first wireless network is a 5G network. The target terminal of the first wireless network is a terminal device which supports a 5G network system and has not accessed the 5G network.

According to the embodiment of the present application, in the step S202, the terminal device that does not access the first wireless network in the first terminal device set is determined as the target terminal of the first wireless network, which may specifically include the following steps S601 to S602.

S601, acquiring a second terminal device set.

And the terminal equipment in the second terminal equipment set accesses the first wireless network.

For example, if the first standard is a 5G network standard, the terminal devices in the second terminal device set access the 5G network.

Next, a method for determining whether the terminal device has accessed the 5G network will be specifically described.

Taking the example that the terminal device accesses the wireless network of 5G NSA, as shown in fig. 3, when the terminal device 303 accesses the wireless network of 5G NSA, the control plane signaling is forwarded by the 4G access network device 301, but the user plane data is forwarded by the 5G access network device 302. Therefore, when the control plane access network device and the user plane access network device of the terminal device 303 are different devices, it may be determined that the terminal device 303 has accessed the 5G NSA.

For example, if the IP address of the control plane access network device of the terminal device 303 is different from the IP address of the user plane access network device, it indicates that the user plane data and the control plane signaling are forwarded by different access network devices, that is, the access network device of the control plane of the terminal device is different from the access network device of the user plane of the terminal device, so as to determine that the terminal device 303 has accessed the 5G network.

Taking the example that the terminal device accesses the wireless network with 5G SA, when the terminal device accesses the access network device, the access network device sends its own IP address to the corresponding core network device. Next, a data acquisition device, such as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) device on the N1 and N2 interface links, acquires the IP address from the core network device, and sends the IP address to a third-party application System, such as an Operation Support System (OSS) of an operator. An engineering parameter table including a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type field is stored in the third-party application system. And the third-party application system searches the RAT type field of the core network corresponding to the access network equipment in the engineering parameter table based on the IP address. The RAT type field is used to indicate the communication system supported by the core network. If the RAT type field indicates that the core network is 5G SA, the terminal device is accessed to the 5G SA.

S602, terminal equipment which does not belong to the second terminal equipment set in the first terminal equipment set is determined as a target terminal.

For example, if the first standard is a 5G network standard, the terminal device that supports the 5G network standard and has not accessed the 5G network is determined as the target terminal. That is, the second terminal set determined in S601 is excluded from the first terminal set determined in S201, and the remaining terminal devices are target terminals.

Optionally, the target terminal may access a second wireless network. The second wireless network supports the second system and does not support the first system.

For example, the second standard may be a 4G network standard, and the second wireless network is a 4G network. The target terminal meets the following conditions: the system supports a 5G network system, and the system is accessed to a 4G network and is not accessed to a 5G network.

Next, a method for determining whether the terminal device has accessed the 4G network will be specifically described.

As shown in fig. 3, when the terminal device 303 accesses the 4G network, both control plane signaling and user plane data are forwarded by the 4G access network device 301. Therefore, when the access network device of the control plane of the terminal device 303 and the access network device of the user plane of the terminal device are the same device, it is determined that the terminal device 303 has accessed the 4G network.

For example, if the IP address of the control plane access network device of the terminal device 303 is the same as the IP address of the user plane access network device, it indicates that the control plane signaling and the user plane data are forwarded by the same access network device, that is, the access network device of the control plane of the terminal device is the same device as the access network device of the user plane of the terminal device, so as to determine that the terminal device 303 has accessed the 4G network.

In the embodiment of the application, the target user, namely the user who supports the first standard and has not accessed the terminal device supporting the wireless network of the first standard, can be accurately obtained according to the capability information of the terminal device and the network access record, so that better service provided by the first wireless network can be effectively and pertinently recommended to the target user, the target user can timely and accurately know and experience better network service, and user experience is improved.

In addition, the accuracy of obtaining the target user is improved, so that the wireless network operator can avoid missing the target user and can not recommend the service provided by the first network to the non-target user, the service recommendation efficiency is improved, and the network operation cost is reduced.
