Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/300,626, filed on Jun. 10, 2014, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2012/079594, filed on Aug. 2, 2012. All of the afore-mentioned patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- Various embodiments of the present invention relate to wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a terminal and a processing method after an access failure of the terminal.
- Minimization of drive tests (MDT) is classified into immediate MDT and logged MDT. In a logged MDT solution, a network side performs MDT configuration on a user equipment (UE) when the radio resource control (RRC) is in a connected status, when the UE turns to an idle status, the UE performs MDT measurement and logging, and reports a logged MDT measurement result to the network side when the UE turns to the connected status. The reporting process is usually as follows. First, the UE reports indication information to the network side to indicate that the UE has logged MDT log data, second, when the network side needs to trigger the UE to report the MDT log data, the network side sends a request message to the UE, finally, after receiving the request message, the UE reports the logged MDT log data to the network side.
- When the UE traverses public land mobile networks (PLMN), before the UE reports the indication information described above or reports the MDT log data, the UE needs to determine whether a current registration PLMN (RPLMN) is the same as an MDT PLMN, where the MDT PLMN is the RPLMN of the UE when the MDT is configured, only when the current registration PLMN is the same as the MDT PLMN, the above reporting may be performed.
- In another scenario, when a radio link failure (RLF) or handover failure (HOF) occurs on the UE, the UE logs an RLF or HOF report, and logs the RPLMN when the RLF or HOF occurs. In this scenario, the reporting process of the UE is usually as follows. First, the UE reports indication information to the network side to indicate that the UE has logged the RLF or HOF report, second, when the network side needs to trigger the UE to report the RLF or HOF report, the network side sends a request message to the UE, finally, after receiving the request message, the UE reports the logged RLF or HOF report to the network side. Similar to a logged MDT scenario, before reporting the indication information or submitting the report, the UE needs to determine whether the current RPLMN is the same as the RPLMN when the occurrence of the RLF or HOF is logged, and only when they are the same, the above reporting may be performed.
- As seen from the above description, what is logged by the UE in the prior art is the RPLMN, however, when the UE fails to access a PLMN, a logging error or a reporting error occurs if what is logged is still the RPLMN. For example, assuming that the UE camps on a cell of a PLMN1 in the beginning and the RPLMN=PLMN1, after the UE moves from the PLMN1 to a PLMN2, the UE attempts to establish an RRC connection with a cell of the PLMN2, at this time, if the RRC connection fails to be established, the UE cannot access the PLMN2. At this time, because the UE does not access the PLMN2, the RPLMN of the UE cannot be updated and is still the PLMN1, if the UE still logs the RPLMN of the UE when the failure occurs, the PLMN1 is logged as a PLMN with a failed access and a report logging the failed access is still reported to the PLMN1, obviously, a logging error occurs and the cell of the wrong PLMN is reported to.

- In addition, when multiple PLMNs share a network cell, a PLMN may be designated as a primary PLMN (PPLMN), and the other PLMNs are secondary PLMNs. In a shared network, for network optimization, maintenance and optimization are mainly performed by a PPLMN operator, so that an access failure report may be submitted to the network of the PPLMN and the UE may also log the PPLMN when the RRC connection fails to be established.
- Referring to

FIG. 7 ,FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart of another embodiment of a processing method after an access failure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following. - Step 71: A network side sends indication information to a UE, where the indication information is used to indicate that a selected PLMN or a PPLMN including an access failure cell is logged when an access failure occurs.
- Step 72: After failing to establish an RRC connection with a cell including the PLMN selected by the UE, the UE logs, according to the indication information, the selected PLMN or the PPLMN of the access failure cell as an access failure PLMN.
- The indication information may be contained in a broadcast message, and the indication information may be 1 bit and indicates whether the PLMN selected when the access failure occurs or the PPLMN is logged, for example, when the indication information=1, the PLMN selected when the access failure occurs is logged, and specifically, a PLMN4, for example, is logged, when the indication information=0, the PPLMN is logged, and specifically, a PLMN3, for example, is logged.
- This embodiment is described through an example in which the indication information is sent by the network side to the UE, optionally, the obtaining, by the UE, the indication information may include obtaining, by the UE, the indication information according to a predefined manner, and for example, it is predefined that the selected PLMN or the PPLMN of the access failure cell is logged.
- In this embodiment, different logs can be flexibly achieved according to the indication information, thereby improving diversity of the application.

-
FIG. 8 is a schematic flow chart of another embodiment of a processing method after an access failure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following. - Step 81: A UE logs an access failure PLMN list.
- As described in the above embodiments, the access failure PLMN list may include a selected PLMN or a PPLMN of an access failure cell, or a selected PLMN and a first EPLMN corresponding to the selected PLMN, where the first EPLMN is an EPLMN of the selected PLMN before the RRC connection fails to be established, or a selected PLMN and a second EPLMN corresponding to the selected PLMN, where the second EPLMN is an EPLMN of the PLMN selected by the terminal undergoing an EPLMN update after the terminal successfully accessing the first cell again.
- Step 82: When a logged access failure PLMN list matches a second cell, the UE sends indication information that indicates logged data is available or a logging report to the second cell, where the second cell is a cell that has established an RRC connection with the terminal or a cell to which the terminal has been handed over.
- The second cell may be the same as or different from the first cell.
- For example, in a logged MDT scenario, the above determination on matching is performed first, before the UE sends the indication information that indicates MDT log data is available or before the UE sends the logged MDT log data to the network side after receiving a request message of the network side, only when it is determined to be matching, the above indication information that indicates the MDT log data is available or the logged MDT log data is sent.
- For another example, in an RLF or HOF scenario, the above determination on matching is performed first, before the UE sends indication information that indicates an RLF or HOF logging report is available, or before the UE sends the RLF or HOF logging report to the network side after receiving a request message of the network side, when it is determined to be matching, the above indication information that indicates the RLF or HOF logging report is available or the RLF or HOF logging report is sent.
- No matter in the logged MDT scenario or the RLF or HOF scenario, the following manners may be used to perform the determination on matching.
- It is determined whether the logged access failure PLMN list includes an RPLMN of the UE when the UE accesses the second cell, if yes, it is determined to be matching, otherwise, it is determined to be non-matching.
- For example, if the logged access failure PLMN list includes the PLMN4, when the RPLMN of the UE is the PLMN4 when the UE accesses the second cell, it is determined to be matching.
- Or, it is determined whether the logged access failure PLMN list includes a PPLMN of the second cell, if yes, it is determined to be matching, otherwise, it is determined to be non-matching.
- For example, if the logged access failure PLMN list includes a PLMN3, when a PPLMN of the second cell is the PLMN3, it is determined to be matching.
- Or, it is determined whether the logged access failure PLMN list is the same as any item of a PLMN list broadcast by the second cell, if yes, it is determined to be matching, otherwise, it is determined to be non-matching.
- For example, if the logged access failure PLMN list includes the PLMN4, when the PLMN list broadcast by the currently accessed second cell includes the PLMN3 and the PLMN4, it is determined to be matching.
- During the determination process described above, when the UE camps on a cell, the UE may receive the PLMN list broadcast by the cell, and a first PLMN in the PLMN list is usually the PPLMN, therefore, the UE may compare the logged access failure PLMN list and the broadcast PLMN list to perform the determination described above. Or, after successfully accessing a cell, the UE may obtain a PLMN where the cell is located, and the UE may update the RPLMN with the RPLMN of the currently accessed cell and then compares the RPLMN of the currently accessed cell with the logged access failure PLMN list to perform the corresponding determination described above.
- The UE according to this embodiment performs the above determination before the reporting, so as to ensure that the log is sent to a cell of a correct PLMN.
