下面结合附图对本发明的各种实施方式进行说明。 这些实施方式只是示例性的, 不是对本发明的限制。
目前, 基于现有的第三代合作伙伴计划 (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project 标准,在用户设备切换发生后,可能会由于目标基站的资源限制导致终端设备的服务 质量下降。而且, 由于节能小区被关闭的原因而导致的切换发生后, 主要用于维持基 本覆盖的小区可能会因为资源限制而拒绝连接态的用户设备发起的新业务请求。类似 地, 空闲态的用户设备发起的新业务请求也可能因为资源有限而被被拒。这样, 上述 方案可能会导致那些拥有高优先级的用户的服务质量下降,这也是运营商高度重视的 问题。
在本实施例中, 提供一种用户识别方法、通信设备和通信系统, 可通过预置的优 先级指示信息(即指示器(indicator))来指示用户设备是否为拥有高优先级的用户以 及是否为使用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户, 如某些区域性业务。其中, 该指示器 可以为现有的参数,例如,分配和保留优先级 (ARP, Allocation and Retention Priority), 但也可以是新定义的指示器。这样,在基站确定所属小区的用户设备的优先级为高优 先级、 或者为使用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户时, 该基站保留该指示器, 并在该 用户转为空闲态后继续保持该记录一段时间, 因此, 可避免拥有高优先级的用户、 或 者使用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户的服务质量下降,解决了现有技术中存在的问 题。其中,该基站可从用户设备或者核心网实体(例如,移动管理实体(MME, Mobility Management Entity)),或者自行判断所属小区的用户是否为高优先级、或者为使用高 优先级业务的用户或潜在用户。
以下结合附图对本发明实施例的用户识别方法、 通信设备和通信系统进行说明。 实施例 1
图 1是本发明实施例 1的用户识别方法流程图。 如图 1所示, 该方法包括: 步骤 101, 基站接收用户设备或核心网实体发送的优先级指示信息; 其中, 该优 先级指示信息 (Indicator) 用于指示该用户设备是否为高优先级的用户、 或者是否为 使用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户;
在本实施例中, 该优先级指示信息可仅指示具备高优先级的用户, 或者指示使用 高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户;或者该优先级指示信息可指示该用户设备的优先级 的高低 (如高、 中、 低优先级)、 或者指示是否为使用高优先级的用户或潜在用户; 还有, 该基站可根据该指示信息确定该用户设备是否为高优先级用户, 或者是否为使 用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户;
在本实施例中, 该基站是为该用户设备提供服务的基站, 该核心网 (CN, Core
Network) 实体可以为 MME。
在本实施例中,该优先级指示信息是核心网实体根据从该用户设备或者该基站获 得的用户信息来确定的, 并传送给该基站; 或者该优先级指示信息直接由该用户设备 发送给该基站, 该基站获得该优先级指示信息后,可根据该优先级指示信息确定该用 户设备的优先级。
由上述实施例可知,在该基站获得该优先级指示信息后,可通过该优先级指示信 息识别该用户设备的优先级的高低, 从而采用相应的措施来避免高优先级的用户、或 者使用高优先级业务的用户或潜在用户的服务质量下降。
