可选地,第一资源状态信息和第二资源状态信息可以包括网络部署信息、 负荷信息、 用户数目以及各用户所能获得的平均带宽中的至少一个信息。
可选地, 第一制式网络和第二制式网络为全球移动通信系统 GSM网络、 通用移动通信系统 UMTS网络、 长期演进 LTE网络以及 WiFi网络, 且第一 制式网络与第二制式网络不同。
第一资源状态信息和第二资源状态信息可以反映出第一制式网络和至少 一个第二制式网络的剩余容量或管道能力。
进一步地,控制单元获取 WiFi网络的资源状态信息的方式可以是控制单 元向 WiFi网络的控制器查询获取的资源状态信息。
具体来说, 控制单元可以通过与 WiFi网络之间的网络接口向 WiFi网络 的控制器查询 WiFi网络的资源状态信息, 并将 WiFi网络的资源状态信息存 储在控制单元中, 在 UE接入第一制式网络后, 读取 WiFi网络的资源状态信 息, 上述控制单元与 WiFi 网络中的控制器之间的网络接口可以是用于承载 WiFi网络资源状态信息和控制单元对 WiFi网络的控制指示信息的双向接口, 是为实现本发明分流处理方法定义的一个新的接口, 该接口既可以是硬件接 口, 也可以是软件接口。

具体来说, 理论上同一服务小区的不同位置所覆盖的网络制式的种类相 同, 但是一些客观因素, 例如建筑物遮挡等因素会导致同一服务小区的不同 位置所覆盖的网络制式的种类不相同, 所以控制单元获取位置处与第一制式 网络具有交叠区域的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资源状态信息, 可以减少 控制单元对 UE的分流处理的误判断, 提高控制单元对目标制式网络的确定 的精确度。
UE所在位置的确定方式可以是控制单元根据 UE上报的测量报告或者移 动数据终端 (Mobile Data Terminal ,简称 MDT)数据等信息间接或直接确定 UE 所在的位置。

图 3为本发明提供的分流处理方法实施例三的流程图, 如图 3所示, 本 实施例进一步考虑 UE的网络支持能力,由于不同的 UE所支持的网络制式不 同, 所以结合 UE的网络支持能力确定至少一个第二制式网络, 可以进一步 保证分流处理的精确, 本实施例的分流处理方法, 在图 1所示实施例的基础 上, 包括:
5301、 控制单元在 UE接入第一制式网络后, 获取第一制式网络的第一 资源状态信息。
5302、 控制单元确定 UE的网络支持能力。
具体来说, 不同的 UE可以支持的网络制式不同,例如一些 UE可以支持
GSM、 UMTS, 但不可以支持 WiFi 网络, 即使当前多制式多层网络系统中 WiFi网络的剩余容量最大,也不能将 UE分流至 WiFi网络中,则控制单元不 需要获取 WiFi网络的资源信息状态。
5303、 控制单元获取与第一制式网络具有交叠区域且 UE的网络支持能 力所支持的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资源状态信息, 第一制式网络或第 二制式网络包括 WiFi网络。

5304、 控制单元根据第一资源状态信息和第二资源状态信息, 确定是否 需要对 UE进行分流处理。
本实施例提供的分流处理方法, 通过控制单元在 UE接入第一制式网络 后, 获取第一制式网络的第一资源状态信息, 确定 UE的网络支持能力, 获 取与第一制式网络具有交叠区域且 UE的网络支持能力所支持的至少一个第 二制式网络的第二资源状态信息, 第一制式网络或第二制式网络包括 WiFi 网络, 控制单元再根据第一资源状态信息和第二资源状态信息, 确定是否需 要对 UE进行分流处理, 可以实现为用户提供更多的无线网络资源, 根据 UE 的网络支持能力进一步优化无线网络资源的配置, 进而提高无线网络资源利 用率。 可以理解的是, 结合上述图 2和图 3所示实施例, 控制单元还可以确定 UE所在位置和 UE的网络支持能力,再获取位置处与第一制式网络具有交叠 区域且 UE的网络支持能力所支持的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资源状态 信息, 第一制式网络或第二制式网络包括 WiFi网络, 可以使得本实施例的分 流处理方法根据 UE所在的位置和 UE的网络支持能力更加精确地获取第二资 源状态信息, 进而保证本实施例的分流处理方法更加精确。
图 4为本发明提供的分流处理方法实施例四的流程图, 如图 4所示, 本 实施例具体以对比各制式网络分别的剩余容量的大小为依据确定是否需要对 UE进行分流处理, 本实施例的分流处理方法, 在图 1所示实施例的基础上, 包括:

5403、 若控制单元根据第二资源状态信息, 确定至少一个第二制式网络 中的第一网络的剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量, 则将 UE分流至第 一网络中。
具体来说, 若至少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的剩余容量大于第一 制式网络的剩余容量,则第一网络可以为 UE提供更高效的服务,将 UE分流 至第一网络中可以更好地满足用户对无线资源的需求。
可以理解的是, 若控制单元根据第二资源状态信息, 确定至少一个第二 制式网络中的一种网络的剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量, 则将 UE 分流至至少一个第二制式网络中剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量的网 络中也可以更好地满足用户对无线资源的需求。
本实施例提供的分流处理方法, 通过控制单元在 UE接入第一制式网络 后, 获取第一制式网络的第一资源状态信息以及与第一制式网络具有交叠区 域的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资源状态信息, 第一制式网络或第二制式 网络包括 WiFi网络,根据第一资源状态信息,确定第一制式网络的剩余容量, 再根据第二资源状态信息, 确定至少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的剩余 容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量, 则将 UE分流至第一网络中, 可以实现 为用户提供更多的无线网络资源, 根据 UE的网络支持能力进一步优化无线 网络资源的配置, 进而提高无线网络资源利用率。
图 5为本发明提供的分流处理方法实施例五的流程图, 如图 5所示, 本 实施例针对至少一个第二制式网络中剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量 的网络的个数大于等于两个的场景, 提出了以 UE的服务类型信息为选择依 据的分流处理方法, 本实施例的分流处理方法, 在图 4所示实施例的基础上, 包括:

可选地, UE的服务类型信息包括浏览、 交互或者下载中的任意一种或其 组合。
具体来说, 若至少一个第二制式网络中第一网络的个数大于等于两个, 则控制单元需要选择将 UE分流至至少两个第一网络中的一个网络中, 控制 单元可以根据 UE所需服务的服务类型信息选择至少两个网络中的一个网络, 例如 UE的服务类型信息为下载, 则 UE所需的剩余容量较大, 则将 UE分流 至至少两个第一网络中剩余容量较大的一个网络中。
可以理解的是,针对一些场景, UE的服务类型信息也可以用作判断是否 对 UE进行分流处理的依据,例如 UE所在的第一制式网络的剩余容量小于至 少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的剩余容量, 但 UE 当前的服务类型信息 为交互, 需要的剩余容量较小, 且第一制式网络的剩余容量可以满足 UE进 行正常交互,则可以不对 UE进行分流处理, 而仍由第一制式网络为 UE提供 服务。

可选地 , 第一制式网络和第二制式网络为 GSM网络、 UMTS网络、 LTE 网络以及 WiFi网络, 且第一制式网络与第二制式网络不同。 在硬件实现上, 以上获取模块 61可以为发射机或收发机。 以上处理模块 62可以以硬件形式内嵌于或独立于控制单元的处理器中, 也可以以软件形式 存储于控制单元的存储器中, 以便于处理器调用执行以上各个模块对应的操 作。 该处理器可以为中央处理单元(CPU ) 、 微处理器、 单片机等。
具体来说, 在 UE接入第一制式网络后, 本实施例的控制单元可以通过 其与各网络之间的接口获取 UE所在服务小区的第一制式网络的第一资源状 态信息以及与第一制式网络具有交叠区域的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资 源状态信息, 上述与第一制式网络具有交叠区域的至少一个第二制式网络可 以是与 UE所在服务小区同覆盖的服务小区对应的至少一个第二制式网络, 其中, 第一制式网络或第二制式网络包括无线保真 WiFi网络。

确定 UE所在位置;
获取位置处与第一制式网络具有交叠区域的至少一个第二制式网络的第 二资源状态信息。
具体来说, 理论上同一服务小区的不同位置所覆盖的网络制式的种类相 同, 但是一些客观因素, 例如建筑物遮挡等因素会导致同一服务小区的不同 位置所覆盖的网络制式的种类不相同, 所以控制单元获取位置处与第一制式 网络具有交叠区域的至少一个第二制式网络的第二资源状态信息, 可以减少 控制单元对 UE的分流处理的误判断, 提高控制单元对目标制式网络的确定 的精确度。
UE 所在位置的确定方式可以是控制单元根据 UE 上报的测量报告或者

进一步地, 在图 6所示实施例的基础上, 本发明提供的控制单元实施例 三 ,进一步考虑 UE的网络支持能力,由于不同的 UE所支持的网络制式不同 , 所以结合 UE的网络支持能力确定至少一个第二制式网络, 其中, 获取模块 61具体用于:
确定 UE的网络支持能力;

本实施例的装置, 可以用于执行图 3所示方法实施例的技术方案, 其实 现原理和技术效果类似, 此处不再赘述。
进一步地, 在图 6所示实施例的基础上, 本发明提供的控制单元实施例 四,具体以对比各制式网络分别的剩余容量的大小为依据确定是否需要对 UE 进行分流处理, 其中, 处理模块 62具体用于:
根据第一资源状态信息, 确定第一制式网络的剩余容量;
若根据第二资源状态信息, 确定至少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的 剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量, 则将 UE分流至第一网络中。
具体来说, 若至少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的剩余容量大于第一 制式网络的剩余容量,则第一网络可以为 UE提供更高效的服务,将 UE分流 至第一网络中可以更好地满足用户对无线资源的需求。
可以理解的是, 若控制单元根据第二资源状态信息, 确定至少一个第二 制式网络中的一种网络的剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量, 则将 UE 分流至至少一个第二制式网络中剩余容量大于第一制式网络的剩余容量的网 络中也可以更好地满足用户对无线资源的需求。
本实施例的装置, 可以用于执行图 4所示方法实施例的技术方案, 其实 现原理和技术效果类似, 此处不再赘述。
进一步地, 在本发明提供的控制单元实施例四的基础上, 本发明提供的 控制单元实施例五, 针对至少一个第二制式网络中剩余容量大于第一制式网 络的剩余容量的网络的个数大于等于两个的场景, 提出了以 UE的服务类型 信息为选择依据的分流处理方法, 其中, 处理模块 62还用于: 若至少一个第二制式网络中第一网络的个数大于等于两个, 则获取 UE 所需服务的服务类型信息;
将 UE分流至满足 Λ良务类型信息的第一网络中。
可选地, UE的服务类型信息包括浏览、 交互或者下载中的任意一种或其 组合。
具体来说, 若至少一个第二制式网络中第一网络的个数大于等于两个, 则控制单元需要选择将 UE分流至至少两个第一网络中的一个网络中, 控制 单元可以根据 UE所需服务的服务类型信息选择至少两个网络中的一个网络, 例如 UE的服务类型信息为下载, 则 UE所需的剩余容量较大, 则将 UE分流 至至少两个第一网络中剩余容量较大的一个网络中。
可以理解的是,针对一些场景, UE的服务类型信息也可以用作判断是否 对 UE进行分流处理的依据,例如 UE所在的第一制式网络的剩余容量小于至 少一个第二制式网络中的第一网络的剩余容量, 但 UE 当前的服务类型信息 为交互, 需要的剩余容量较小, 且第一制式网络的剩余容量可以满足 UE进 行正常交互,则可以不对 UE进行分流处理, 而仍由第一制式网络为 UE提供 服务。
本实施例的装置, 可以用于执行图 5所示方法实施例的技术方案, 其实 现原理和技术效果类似, 此处不再赘述。
