Description

Method for fixing wireless terminal lock cell and fixed wireless terminal

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for a fixed wireless terminal to lock a cell and a fixed wireless terminal.

Background technique

At present, many mobile operators have introduced fixed wireless terminal products and related tariff packages, using low tariffs and small-scale mobility to capture the market share of the original fixed telephones. However, in order to avoid the impact of this low-cost fixed wireless terminal product on existing mobile wireless terminal users, operators also want to restrict these fixed wireless terminal users to use only in specific areas. After leaving this area, the fixed wireless terminal will It is forbidden to use.

In order to achieve the above purpose, a mobile operator usually uses a scheme of a locked cell to maintain an available cell list on a fixed wireless terminal. When the fixed wireless terminal camps on a cell, the currently camped cell ID and the cell in the available cell list are used. The ID is compared, if the currently camped cell is in the list of available cells, the user is allowed to use the network service through the fixed wireless terminal, otherwise the use of the network service is prohibited. However, this solution has several disadvantages. Because the coverage of different cells is inconsistent, the range of locked cells of different fixed wireless terminals is also different, and the accuracy of the coverage of the fixed wireless terminal network cannot be guaranteed. In order to ensure that users at the cell junction can use the network normally through fixed wireless terminals, there are generally multiple available cells. However, this also creates a loophole. Users can use cell a in A, then turn off the fixed wireless terminal and move. After going to B, cell b can be used. After the fixed wireless terminal is turned off and moved to C, cell c can be used, and the intended cell lock target cannot be achieved. At the same time, due to the limited number of available cells stored in the fixed wireless terminal, in a complex network environment at the intersection of multiple cells, the user may not be able to use the optimal cell. In addition, when the network planning is re-established in a certain place, the fixed wireless terminal may not be able to use the network normally.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for locking a cell of a wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for locking a cell of a fixed wireless terminal mentioned in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step S10: Obtain current location information of the fixed wireless terminal when the network service startup instruction arrives;

In this embodiment, the location information of the fixed wireless terminal can be obtained by using the GPS module on the fixed wireless terminal, and the obtained location information is stored in the memory of the fixed wireless terminal. When the location of the fixed wireless terminal is moved, the location information is Real-time updates by GPS positioning.

Step S20, determining whether the distance between the current location information and the reference location information is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold; if yes, executing step S30; if not, executing step S40;

Before allowing the fixed wireless terminal to initiate network services, it is necessary to determine whether the fixed wireless terminal is within the network coverage, and the area where the user is allowed to use the network service is a circular area, with the reference position as the center, the distance width as the radius, and the reference position and The distance value together determines the user's area of use. The reference location information is a predetermined location, which is usually at the user's home or the user's office; the preset distance threshold is generally customized by the operator.

Step S30, allowing the fixed wireless terminal to initiate the network service normally, and ending;

Step S40: The fixed wireless terminal is prohibited from initiating the network service.

The fixed wireless terminal in this embodiment allows the range of the initiated network service to be a fixed area, instead of the way of setting the cell in the past. Since the fixed area is used, as long as the customized preset distance is the same, Even for different fixed wireless terminals, the range of locked cells must be the same. The effective coverage of the network determined by the locked cell mode is only related to the reference position and the distance threshold, and is independent of the cell, avoiding the cell junction lock. The problem of a cell failing or being unable to use the optimal cell ensures the accuracy of the locked cell range.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a method for locking a cell of a wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment is based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. Before step S10, the method further includes: Step S51: When the terminal activation command arrives, activate the fixed wireless terminal;

Step S52: Obtain location information of the fixed wireless terminal when activated, as the reference location information of the fixed wireless terminal. In this embodiment, when the fixed wireless terminal is activated, the reference position information is determined, and the reference position is not locked when the power is turned on, mainly because the location where the user usually purchases is different from the resident location, in order to prevent the user from being in the business hall. When the test machine is purchased, the area where the business hall is locked is locked as the reference position, and the user cannot be used after going home. Therefore, the process of locking the reference position is set after the fixed wireless terminal is activated, and the user can determine the reference position according to his own needs. For example, if the main purpose of the user purchase is to use at home, then the fixed wireless terminal is activated in the user's home; or the company purchases the fixed wireless terminal in the company office for the business needs.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a method for locking a cell of a wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment is based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and before step S51, the method further includes: Step S50: when the fixed wireless terminal dials a specific activation number, or the fixed wireless terminal standby time exceeds a preset activation standby time threshold, or fixed wireless When the terminal call duration exceeds the preset activation call time threshold, a terminal activation command is generated.

The manner in which the fixed wireless terminal is activated in this embodiment may be specified by the operator, or multiple options may be selected by the user. For example, when a fixed wireless terminal dials a specific activation number; or after a fixed wireless terminal is installed in a home or office, the timer in the fixed wireless terminal automatically calculates the standby duration or the duration of the call of the fixed wireless terminal. If the activation mode is to calculate the standby duration or the duration of the call, the standby duration or the duration of the call of the fixed wireless terminal in each location should be accumulated, and the location with the longest duration or the location that reaches the activation time threshold at the earliest should be obtained as The reference position, for example, the fixed wireless terminal has a standby time of 5 hours at the location A, and the standby time of the location B is 3 hours, and the location A is the reference position; for example, the preset activation standby time has a threshold of 3 hours, and is fixed. The standby time of the wireless terminal at the location C is earlier than the locations A and B for 3 hours, and the location C is the reference location. In this embodiment, the process of locking the reference position is set after the fixed wireless terminal is activated, which prevents the user from locking the area where the business hall is located as the reference position when the user purchases the test machine in the business hall, which causes the user to be unable to use after going home, and improves the situation. The accuracy of the lock cell range.

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a fixed wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fixed wireless terminal mentioned in this embodiment includes: The positioning module 10 is configured to acquire current location information of the fixed wireless terminal when the network service startup instruction arrives;

The determining module 20 is configured to determine whether the distance between the current location information and the reference location information is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold;

The processing module 30 is configured to allow the fixed wireless terminal to initiate the network service normally when the determining module 20 determines that the distance between the current location information and the reference location information is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold; when the determining module 20 determines the current location information and When the distance between the reference position information is greater than the preset distance threshold, the fixed wireless terminal is prohibited from initiating the network service.

The location information of the fixed wireless terminal in this embodiment may be obtained by the positioning module 10 on the fixed wireless terminal, and the positioning module 10 obtains the location information of the fixed wireless terminal by using GPS positioning, and stores the obtained location information to the fixed wireless. In the memory of the terminal, when the position of the fixed wireless terminal moves, the location information is updated in real time by GPS positioning. Before allowing the fixed wireless terminal to initiate the network service, the determining module 20 needs to determine whether the fixed wireless terminal is within the network coverage, and the area where the user allows the network service to be a circular area, with the reference position as the center and the distance as the radius. The reference position along with the distance threshold determines the user's area of use. The reference location information is a predetermined location, which is usually at the user's home or in the user's office; the preset distance threshold is generally customized by the operator. The fixed wireless terminal in this embodiment allows the range of the initiated network service to be a fixed area, instead of the way of setting the cell in the past. Since the fixed area is used, as long as the customized preset distance is the same, Even for different fixed wireless terminals, the range of locked cells must be the same. The effective coverage of the network determined by the locked cell mode is only related to the reference position and the distance threshold, and is independent of the cell, avoiding the cell junction lock. The problem of a cell failing or being unable to use the optimal cell ensures the accuracy of the locked cell range.

As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of a second embodiment of a fixed wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment is based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and the activation module 40 is added, and is configured to activate the fixed wireless terminal when the terminal activation command arrives;

The positioning module 10 is further configured to acquire location information of the fixed wireless terminal when activated, as reference location information of the fixed wireless terminal. In this embodiment, when the fixed wireless terminal is activated, the reference position information is determined, and the reference position is not locked when the power is turned on, mainly because the location where the user usually purchases is different from the resident location, in order to prevent the user from being in the business hall. When the test machine is purchased, the area where the business hall is locked is locked as the reference position, and the user cannot be used after going home. Therefore, the process of locking the reference position is set after the fixed wireless terminal is activated, and the user can determine the reference position according to his own needs. For example, if the main purpose of the user purchase is to use at home, then the fixed wireless terminal is activated in the user's home; or the company purchases the fixed wireless terminal in the company office for the business needs.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the activation module 40 is further configured to: when the fixed wireless terminal dials a specific activation number, generate a terminal activation command; when the fixed wireless terminal standby time exceeds a preset activation standby time threshold, or the fixed wireless terminal talk time exceeds When the preset call time threshold is activated, a terminal activation command is generated.
