所述基站根据该 TMSI向核心网设备查询该用户是否为高优先级用户， 若经过核心网设备确认该用户为高优先级用户， 所述基站确认该用户为高 优先级用户。 其中， 核心网设备确认该用户是否为高优先级用户， 具体可 以包括： 核心网设备根据用户的注册信息或签约信息， 确认该用户为高优 先级用户。
步骤 S103、 若所述基站确认所述用户为高优先级用户， 所述基站与所 述 UE建立无线资源控制 RRC连接， 以便所述用户接入所述基站。
在现有技术中， 用户在接入网络时需要先与基站建立 RRC连接， 才能 完成后续接入网络的相关流程。 例如， 用户向基站发送接入请求的过程中 可以向基站发送 RRC连接请求 （ RRC connection request ) 消息； 基站接收 到该用户发送的 RRC连接请求消息后， 若基站确认此时允许接入的用户数 已达额定规格， 基站会直接向该用户发送 RRC连接拒绝（RRC connection request ) 消息， 该 RRC连接拒绝消息中可以包括一个等待时间， 该等待时 间用于指示该用户向该基站再次发送 RRC连接请求消息需等待的时间。 例 如， 在 LTE网络中， 该等待时间可以为 0~16秒。 因此， 若基站允许接入的 用户数已达额定规格， 即使是高优先级用户， 仍然需要等待一段时间后才 能再次尝试接入网络； 并且， 当该高优先级用户再次尝试接入网络时， 仍 然不能保证可以优先接入网络， 从而导致高优先级用户的通信体验不佳。
釆用本发明实施例提供的用户接入优先级控制的方法， 基站在允许接 入的用户数已达额定规格时 ,可以根据接入请求中携带的 TMSI确认用户是 否为高优先级用户， 并与经确认的高优先级用户建立 RRC连接， 以便高优 先级用户接入该基站， 从而减少了高优先级用户在建立 RRC连接过程中的 等待时间， 提升了高优先级用户的通信体验。 可选地， 上述步骤 S102中所述基站根据所述 TMSI确认所述用户是否 为高优先级用户， 还可以包括： 所述基站确认所述 TMSI是否为高优先级 TMSI; 若所述 TMSI是高优先级 TMSI, 所述基站确认所述用户为高优先 级用户。
具体地，上述高优先级 TMSI可以是核心网设备预先为所述用户分配的 高优先级 TMSI, 包括： 所述高优先级 TMSI是具有一个或多个特征比特的 TMSI, 所述一个或多个特征比特用于标识用户为高优先级用户； 或者， 所 述高优先级 TMSI是位于特定号码段的 TMSI,所述位于特定号码段的 TMSI 用于标识用户为高优先级用户。
因为 TMSI的分配可以是运营商的私有协议， TMSI的具体取值可以根 据运营商的需要进行相应选择，此处并不对高优先级 TMSI的具体实现方式 进行——限定。 应理解， 只要是满足上述釆用一个或多个特征比特标识用 户为高优先级用户的方案；或者满足上述釆用特定号码段的 TMSI标识用户 为高优先级用户的方案；或者是选择其他特定的 TMSI用于标识用户为高优 先级用户的技术方案都应当被认为是本发明实施例公开的内容。
例如， 当上述 TMSI是由 MME分配的 M-TMSI时， MME可以在用户 的附着流程或跟踪区更新流程中， 根据用户的注册信息或签约信息， 确认 用户是否为高优先级用户； 在确认用户为高优先级用户后， MME可以为该 高优先级用户分配上述高优先级 TMSI; 或者， MME也可以在终端全球唯 一临时标识（ globally unique temporary UE identity, 简称为 GUTI )重分配 流程中， 为高优先级用户分配上述高优先级 TMSI。 在核心网设备为高优先级用户分配上述高优先级 TMSI时，可以将上述 高优先级 TMSI发送给基站，由该基站将上述高优先级 TMSI发送给该高优 先级用户。 该基站接收到上述高优先级 TMSI后， 可以保存上述高优先级 TMSI, 以便后续确认用户在接入请求中携带的 TMSI是否为上述高优先级 TMSI; 或者， 核心网设备和基站预先约定上述高优先级 TMSI的类型和格 式，后续基站在接收到用户在接入请求中携带的 TMSI时，若允许接入的用 户数已达最大规格,基站可以通过解析或查看该 TMSI的具体取值或其他操 作，无需再向核心网设备查询， 即可确定该 TMSI是否为预先约定的高优先 级 TMSI, 进而确定该用户是否为高优先级用户。
用户接收到 MME为其分配的高优先级 TMSI后，可以保存该高优先级 TMSI。 当用户再次接入网络时， 可以在接入请求中携带该高优先级 TMSI, 以便基站可以通过该高优先级 TMSI确认该用户为高优先级用户 ,从而享受 高优先级接入的服务。
釆用该可选实施例提供的用户接入优先级控制的方法， 基站在允许接 入的用户数已达额定规格时，可以根据接入请求中携带的 TMSI是否为高优 先级 TMSI, 即可确认用户是否为高优先级用户， 省去了基站和核心网设备 间的信令交互开销和时间延迟， 从而进一步减少了高优先级用户在建立 RRC连接过程中的等待时间， 提升了高优先级用户的通信体验。
可选地， 上述步骤 S103中， 还可包括：
所述基站在与所述 UE的 RRC连接建立完成之前， 释放低优先级用户 占用的资源， 以便为所述用户提供资源。
上述低优先级用户可以是用户级别低于该高优先级用户的其他用户； 或者， 上述低优先级用户也可以是长时间未进行业务访问的其他用户； 或 例如， 在 LTE 网络中， 上述释放低优先级用户占用的资源可以是 S1 释放流程 ( SI release procedure )。 釆用该可选实施例提供的技术方案， 所述基站通过释放低优先级用户 占用的资源， 如设备资源、 空口资源、 或传输资源等， 可以为该高优先级 用户预留出这些释放出来的资源， 从而保证该高优先级用户在接入网络后 能够有资源可以使用。
可选地， 上述步骤 S103中， 还可包括：
所述基站在与所述 UE的 RRC连接建立完成之后， 释放低优先级用户 占用的资源， 以便为所述用户提供资源。
上述低优先级用户可以是用户级别低于该高优先级用户的其他用户； 或者， 上述低优先级用户也可以是长时间未进行业务访问的其他用户； 或 例如， 在 LTE 网络中， 上述释放低优先级用户占用的资源可以是 S1 释放流程 ( SI release procedure )。
釆用该可选实施例提供的技术方案， 基站可以无需等待释放低优先级 用户占用的资源的流程完成， 就可以与高优先级用户建立 RRC连接， 虽然 短时间内基站允许接入的用户数会大于额定规格， 但是可以减少高优先级 用户在建立 RRC连接过程中的等待时间， 提升高优先级用户的通信体验。 并且， 由于基站在预设允许同时接入的用户数的额定规格时， 通常还会预 留少量资源防止突发状况的出现， 因此， 上述短时间内基站允许接入的用 户数大于额定规格的情况并不会影响网络的稳定运行。 图 2为本发明实施例提供的一种用户接入优先级控制的方法的流程示 意图。 如图 2所示， 本发明实施例可以包括以下步骤：
步骤 S201、 用户通过用户设备 UE向基站发送接入请求， 所述接入请 求携带有所述用户的临时移动用户标识 TMSI;
步骤 S202、 若所述基站允许接入的用户数已达额定规格， 在所述基站 根据所述 TMSI确认所述用户为高优先级用户之后，所述 UE与所述基站建 立无线资源控制 RRC连接， 以便所述用户接入所述基站。
釆用本发明实施例提供的用户接入优先级控制的方法， 用户在接入网 络时， 若基站允许接入的用户数已达额定规格， 在所述基站根据所述 TMSI 确认所述用户为高优先级用户之后， 用户仍然可以和基站建立 RRC连接， 从而享受高优先级接入的服务。
可选地， 上述步骤 S202中所述用户被所述基站确认为高优先级用户， 可以包括： 所述 TMSI被所述基站确认为高优先级 TMSI, 所述用户被所述 基站确认为高优先级用户。 则在所述用户通过 UE 向基站发送接入请求之 前，所述方法还可包括： 所述 UE接收核心网设备为所述用户分配的高优先 级 TMSL
可选地，所述高优先级 TMSI可以是具有一个或多个特征比特的 TMSI, 所述一个或多个特征比特用于标识用户为高优先级用户； 或者， 所述高优 先级 TMSI也可以是位于特定号码段的 TMSI,所述位于特定号码段的 TMSI 用于标识用户为高优先级用户。
应当理解， 所述 UE接收核心网设备为所述用户分配的高优先级 TMSI 可以在用户接入网络的过程中执行， 例如可以是在附着流程或跟踪区更新 流程中， 也可以是在 GUTI重分配流程中执行。 并且， 所述 UE接收高优先 级 TMSI的接入网络过程可以和执行步骤 S201、步骤 S202的接入网络过程 分开进行。换言之， UE接收到核心网设备为所述用户分配的高优先级 TMSI 后， 可以先保存该高优先级 TMSI, 当 UE后续再次接入网络时再使用该高 优先级 TMSI。
釆用该可选实施例提供的用户接入优先级控制的方法， 高优先级用户 在接入网络时， 可以接收核心网设备为其分配的高优先级 TMSI, 当高优先 级用户再次接入网络时， 可以在接入请求中携带该高优先级 TMSI, 以便基 站可以通过该高优先级 TMSI即可确认该用户为高优先级用户 ,从而享受高 优先级接入的服务。 需要说明的是， 本发明实施例与图 1 所示实施例提供的用户接入优先 级控制的方法一致， 图 1 所示实施例从基站侧阐述该方法， 本发明实施例 从 UE侧介绍该方法，此处未详细阐述的内容，可以参考图 1所示实施例中 的介绍。 为了更清楚地说明图 1或图 2所示实施例中提供的用户接入优先级控 制的方法， 下面结合图 3和图 4对具体的方法流程作进一步地示意性说明。

例如， 在 LTE网络中， 用户通过 UE向基站发送的 RRC连接建立消息 中可以携带 S-TMSI , 该 S-TMSI 可以包含 MME 预先为该用户分配的 M-TMSL
可选地， 若该用户为高优先级用户， 核心网设备可以为该用户预先分 配如图 1所示实施例中所述的高优先级 TMSI。 则对于高优先级用户， 上述 RRC连接请求消息中携带的 TMSI, 即为该高优先级 TMSI。换言之，此时， 该 TMSI和该高优先级 TMSI为同一个 TMSI。
步骤 S302、所述基站接收到所述 RRC连接请求消息后，若所述基站允 许接入的用户数已达额定规格，所述基站根据所述 TMSI确认所述用户是否 为高优先级用户。
例如， 所述基站在接收到所述 RRC连接请求消息后， 可以先确认允许 接入的用户数是否已达额定规格； 若允许接入的用户数已达额定规格， 所 述基站可以继续确认该用户是否为高优先级用户。 可选地， 所述基站可以 确认该 TMSI是否为高优先级 TMSI; 若所述 TMSI为高优先级 TMSI, 所 述基站确认该用户为高优先级用户。

步骤 S305、所述 UE接收到所述基站发送的所述 RRC连接建立消息后， 与所述基站建立 RRC连接， 并继续用户的接入流程。
例如 , 在 LTE网络中， UE接收到该 RRC连接建立消息后， 可以向该 基站发送 RRC连接建立完成 ( RRC connection setup complete ) 消息， 确认 与所述基站建立 RRC 连接， 随后可以向基站发送非接入层 （non access stratum, 简称为 NAS ) 消息， 享受网络提供的服务。
釆用本发明实施例提供的用户接入优先级控制的方法， 用户在接入网 络时， 可以在 RRC连接建立消息中携带 TMSI; 若基站允许接入的用户数 已达额定规格，基站可以根据该 TMSI确认该用户是否为高优先级用户； 若 已确认该用户为高优先级用户， 基站可以先释放低优先级用户占用的资源， 以便为该高优先级用户预留资源， 并向该用户发送 RRC连接建立消息； 该 用户在接收到该 RRC连接建立消息后， 可以该基站建立 RRC连接， 并继 续接入流程， 从而享受到高优先级的接入服务。 图 4为本发明实施例提供的一种用户接入优先级控制的方法的流程示 意图。 如图 4所示， 本发明实施例可以包括以下步骤：
步骤 S401、 用户通过用户设备 UE向基站发送 RRC连接请求消息， 该 RRC连接请求消息携带有该用户的临时移动用户标识 TMSI。

步骤 S405、 所述基站释放低优先级用户占用的资源， 以便为高优先级 用户提供资源。
