Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for determining a target terminal.

Background

Currently, whether the terminal device has the capability of accessing the fifth Generation (5G) network can be determined by querying the first eight digits of the international mobile equipment identification (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI) and the mode of allocating a type number approval number (Type Approval Code, TAC) library. However, the update frequency of the TAC library is low, and data irrelevant to the TAC library or erroneous data may occur, which results in low accuracy of the method for judging whether the terminal device has the capability of accessing the 5G network.

In addition, because the wireless network operator cannot accurately determine the terminal equipment with the capability of accessing the 5G network according to the judging method, the 5G network service cannot be recommended to the terminal equipment with the capability of accessing the 5G network in a targeted manner, so that a user cannot timely and accurately know and experience the 5G network service, and further user experience is reduced.

It should be understood that fig. 1 is a simplified schematic diagram that is merely exemplary for ease of understanding, and that other network devices, and/or other terminal devices, may also be included in the communication system, which are not shown in fig. 1.

The method for determining the target terminal provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of 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, acquiring a first terminal equipment set.

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

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

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

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

As described above, the 5G NSA not only can provide high data rate service for users, but also can continue to use the already-established 4G access network device and 4G core network device, and only needs to build the 5G access network device, so that the construction cost is low, and therefore, the 5G NSA is the most widely used networking mode at present.

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

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

For example, the terminal device is judged to support 5G NSA based on the "en-DC-r15" field in UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message, or 5G SA based on the "SA-NR-r15" field in UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION message.

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

For example, the core network device obtains signaling containing UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION messages from the access network device over the S1 interface.

Next, with reference to fig. 5, the core network device will specifically be described to acquire signaling containing UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION messages.

First, if there is no capability information of the terminal device at 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 set up the service.

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

The terminal device then sends its own capability information (UE Capability Information) message to the access network device in order to report the capability information to the access network device.

The access network device then sends a capability information indication (UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION) message of the terminal device to the core network device.

Next, referring to fig. 5, a method for determining, by the core network device, whether the terminal device supports the first system according to UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION messages is specifically described by taking the first system as a 5G network system as an example.

As shown in fig. 5, UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION messages include UE Radio Capability cells, UE Radio Capability cell record UERadioAccessCapabilityInformation messages;

UERadioAccessCapabilityInformation messages include ueRadioAccessCapabilityInformation-r8 cells;

ueRadioAccessCapabilityInformation-r8 cells include a UECapabilityInformation cell;

The UECapacity information cell comprises ueCapabilityInformation-r8 cells;

ueCapabilityInformation-r8 cells include ue-CapabilityRAT-ContainerList cells;

the UE-CapabilityRAT-ContainerList cells include a UE-CapabilityRAT-Container cell;

the UE-CapabilityRAT-Container cells include ueCapabilityRAT-Container cells;

ueCapabilityRAT-Container cells are defined as UE-EUTRA-Capability cells under the 4G network;

The UE-EUTRA-Capability cells include IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-r15 and IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-v1540 cells;

IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-r15 cells include en-DC-r15; IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-v1540 cells include sa-NR-r15.

Wherein if the IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-r15 cell comprises an en-DC-r15 field, it is indicated that the terminal device supports 5G NSA, i.e. the terminal device is comprised in the first set of terminal devices.

If the IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-v1540 cell includes the SA-NR-r15 field, this 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-PARAMETERSNR-r15 cell does not include an en-DC-r15 field and the IRAT-PARAMETERSNR-v1540 cell does not include a sa-NR-r15 field, it indicates that the terminal device does not support a 5G network system, i.e. the terminal device is not included in the first set of terminal devices.

S202, determining terminal equipment which is not accessed to the first wireless network in the first terminal equipment set as a target terminal of the first wireless network.

Wherein the first wireless network supports a first standard.

For example, the first system is a 5G network system, and the first wireless network is a 5G network. The target terminal of the first wireless network is a terminal device supporting a 5G network system and not accessed to the 5G network.

According to the embodiment of the present application, in the above S202, the terminal device in the first terminal device set, which is not connected to the first wireless network, is determined as the target terminal of the first wireless network, which may specifically include the following S601-S602.

S601, acquiring a second terminal equipment set.

Wherein the terminal devices in the second set of terminal devices access the first wireless network.

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

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

Taking the wireless network with the terminal device accessing the 5G NSA as an example, as shown in fig. 3, when the terminal device 303 accesses the wireless network of the 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 is indicated 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 accesses the 5G network.

Taking the wireless network with the terminal equipment accessed to the 5G SA as an example, when the terminal equipment accesses to the access network equipment, the access network equipment sends the IP address of the terminal equipment to the corresponding core network equipment. Next, a data acquisition device, such as a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) device on the N1, N2 interface link, obtains the IP address from the core network device and sends the IP address to a third party application system, such as an operator's operation support system (Operation Support System, OSS). The third party application system stores an engineering parameter table including a radio access technology (Radio Access Technology, RAT) type field. 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 a 5G SA, the terminal equipment is indicated to be accessed to the 5G SA.

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

For example, if the first system is a 5G network system, the terminal device that supports the 5G network system and has not been connected to 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.

Alternatively, the target terminal may have access to the second wireless network. The second wireless network supports a second standard and does not support the first standard.

For example, the second system may be a 4G network system, and the second wireless network is a 4G network. The target terminal satisfies the following conditions: and supporting a 5G network system, accessing a 4G network and not accessing the 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 is the same device as the access network device of the user plane of the terminal 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 is indicated 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 and the access network device of the user plane of the terminal device are the same device, so as to determine that the terminal device 303 accesses the 4G network.

In the embodiment of the application, the target user, namely the user which supports the first standard and is not connected with the terminal equipment supporting the wireless network of the first standard, can be accurately obtained according to the capability information of the terminal equipment 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 the user experience is improved.

In addition, because the accuracy of acquiring the target user is improved, the wireless network operator can avoid missing the target user, and the service provided by the first network can not be recommended to the non-target user, thereby improving the service recommendation efficiency and reducing the network operation cost.
