图1示出了本申请实施例应用的无线通信系统100。该无线通信系统100可以包括接入网设备110。接入网设备100可以是与终端设备通信的设备。接入网设备100可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端设备(例如UE)进行通信。可选地,该接入网设备100可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)中的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的网络设备等。
该无线通信系统100还包括位于接入网设备110覆盖范围内的至少一个终端设备120。终端设备120可以是移动的或固定的。可选地,终端设备120可以指接入终端、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通 信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端设备等。

需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,不同的核心网络可以共享接入网设备,即接入网设备可以跟不同网络的核心网设备进行通信。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,5G系统或网络还可以称为新无线(New Radio,NR)系统或网络。
如上文所述,在一些情况下,终端设备需要从源核心网切换至目标核心网,所述源核心网和所述目标核心网可以为同一类型的核心网,也可以为不同类型的核心网,例如,源核心网为EPC,目标核心网为5G系统的核心网(简称5GC),当需要从EPC切换至5GC时,在现有技术中,终端设备会首先释放与EPC以及源小区之间的协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDN)连接,然后建立与5GC和目标小区之间的PDU会话(session),但是,如果切换前后服务小区没有发生变化,终端设备释放旧的RRC连接,建立新的RRC可能会造成额外的信令开销。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提出一种切换网络的方法,能够减小网络切换时的信令开销。
图2示意性地示出了本申请实施例提供的切换网络的方法200的示意性流程图。该方法200可以应用于上述无线通信系统100,但本申请实施例不限于此。
如图2所示,该方法200包括以下内容:
S210,终端设备确定需要从第一核心网切换至第二核心网。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,所述第一核心网(即源核心网)和 所述第二核心网(即目标核心网)共享接入网设备,即接入网设备可以与第一核心网和第二核心网的核心网设备进行通信,或者也可以认为所述终端设备在切换前后,接入的接入网不变(或者说,服务小区不变)。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网可以为同一类型的核心网,或者也可以为不同类型的核心网,例如,所述第一核心网为LTE系统的核心网,即EPC,所述第二核心网为5G系统的核心网,或者,所述第一核心网为5G系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为EPC等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,所述终端设备确定需要从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网可以是所述终端设备自身确定的,或者也可以是基于网络设备的触发指令确定的,这里,网络设备可以为核心网设备,或者也可以为接入网设备,所述触发指令可以为S1信令、N2/N3信令或RRC信令等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,作为一个实施例,S210可以包括:
所述终端设备根据当前的业务需求,确定需要从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网。
具体地,所述终端设备可以在当前接入的第一核心网不支持当前的业务需求时,确定需要切换至支持当前业务需求的第二核心网。例如,所述终端设备当前接入的第一核心网为5GC,所述终端设备想要传输(广播多播业务(Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service,MBMS)业务、车辆到车辆(Vehicle to Vehicle,V2V)业务或车辆到其他设备(Vehicle to Everything,V2X)业务等5GC不支持的业务时,所述终端设备确定需要切换至EPC,以支持所述终端设备当前的业务需求。或者,所述终端设备基于业务需求的切换,也可以发生在同一类型的核心网中,例如,第一核心网为5GC,所述第二核心网也为5GC,但是,这两个核心网支持的业务类型存在差异,若所述第一核心网不支持所述终端设备当前想要接入的第一业务,所述第二核心网支持所述第一业务,那么所述终端设备可以确定需要从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网。
可选地,在一些实施例中,若所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网的核心网类型不同,所述方法200还包括:
所述终端设备获取所述第二核心网的系统信息。
可选地,所述终端设备可以接收接入网设备发送的广播消息,从所述广播消息中获取所述第二核心网的系统信息。或所述终端设备通过向接入网设备发送RRC信令,请求获取所述第二核心网的系统信息。所述终端设备可以根据所述第二核心网的系统信息获取所述第二核心网对应的协议层版本(例如,PDCP层的协议版本等)和RRC层的配置信息。
也就是说,所述第二核心网的系统信息可以携带于所述接入网设备发送的广播消息中,所述终端设备可以通过接收广播消息获取所述第二核心网的系统信息,或者,所述终端设备也可以通过向接入网设备发送RRC信令的方法,获取所述第二核心网的系统信息。
可选地,所述终端设备也可以根据所述接入网设备发送的广播消息,获取所述第二核心网支持的业务类型信息,以便于所述终端设备决定切换至哪个核心网。
可选地,作为另一个实施例,S210可以包括:
所述终端设备在接收到网络设备的触发指令的情况下,确定需要从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网,其中,所述触发指令用于通知所述终端设备从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网。
也就是说,终端设备可以是基于网络设备的触发指令进行网络切换的,所述触发指令可以用于指示所述终端设备从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网。可选地,所述触发指令可以为S1信令、N2/N3信令或RRC信令等,即所述终端设备可以在S1信令、N2/N3信令或RRC信令等触发指令的情况下,确定需要从所述第一核心网切换至所述第二核心网,进而进行协议层的相关配置。
可选地,所述网络设备的触发指令可以是基于特定的重定向策略发送的。例如,所述网络设备为核心网设备,所述核心网设备可以基于核心网侧的负载信息确定所述终端设备需要从第一核心网切换至所述第一核心网。或者,若所述网络设备为接入网设备,所述接入网设备可以基于接入网侧的负载信息确定所述终端设备需要从第一核心网切换至所述第一核心网。
S220,所述终端设备根据所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网的核心网类型,进行协议层的配置。
可选地,所述终端设备可以根据所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网的核心网类型是否相同,进行协议层的相关配置。例如,若所述第一核心网和所 述第二核心网的核心网类型相同,即切换前后,接入网不变(或者说,服务小区不变),并且核心网类型不变,这种情况下,所述终端设备不需要进行无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层和物理层(Physical Layer,PHY)的重新配置,同时所述终端设备也不需要更新分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层,以及无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)层的协议版本,可选地,所述终端设备可能需要更新PDCP层或RRC层的一些配置信息,例如,秘钥等。
可选地,若所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网的核心网类型不同,即切换前后,接入网不变(或者说,服务小区不变),但是核心网类型改变,那么所述终端设备需要更新非接入层(Non Access Stratum,NAS)实体,同时也可以触发层与层之间的交互,例如,NAS层需要通知RRC层重配置PDCP层的配置,以及增加或删除一些RRC层的配置以支持新的核心网类型,以下,结合具体示例进行详细介绍。
可选地,在一个具体的实施例中,S220可以包括:
若所述第一核心网和所述第二核心网为不同类型的核心网,所述终端设备将所述第一核心网对应的分组数据汇聚协议PDCP层配置更新为所述第二核心网对应的PDCP层配置,将所述第一核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本更新为所述第二核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本,将所述第一核心网对应的RRC层配置更新为所述第二核心网对应的RRC层配置,以及将非接入层NAS的实体从支持所述第一核心网的第一NAS实体切换为支持所述第二核心网的第二NAS实体。
具体而言,若切换前后的核心网类型不同,即所述第一核心网和第二核心网的核心网类型不同,所述终端设备不需要更新RLC层、MAC层以及PHY的配置,而只需要如下几方面的更新:
第一方面,所述终端设备需要将NAS实体从第一核心网对应的第一NAS实体切换至第二核心网对应的第二NAS实体,例如,若所述第一核心网为LTE系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为5G系统的核心网,所述终端设备需要将EPC NAS实体切换为5GC NAS;或者,若所述第一核心网为5G系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为LTE系统的核心网,所述终端设备需要将5GC NAS实体切换为EPC NAS。
第二方面,所述终端设备需要进行PDCP的协议版本的更新,即将第一核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本更新为第二核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本。例如,若所述第一核心网为LTE系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为NR系统的核心网,所述终端设备可以将LTE PDCP更新为NR PDCP,其中,所述LTE PDCP为所述第一核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本,所述NR PDCP为所述第二核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本。或者,若所述第一核心网为NR系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为LTE系统的核心网,所述终端设备将NR PDCP更新为LTE PDCP,其中,所述NR PDCP为所述第一核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本,所述LTE PDCP为所述第二核心网对应的PDCP层的协议版本。
第三方面,所述终端设备需要进行PDCP层的重新配置,以使得更新后的PDCP层的配置能够适配所述第二核心网。
可选地,若切换前后RRC层配置的功能不同,所述终端设备还可以进行RRC层配置的更新,例如,若所述第一核心网为LTE系统的核心网,所述第二核心网为NR系统的核心网,NR系统的RRC层配置支持业务数据适配层(Service Data Adaptation Layer,SDAP)功能,以及用户平面(User Plane,UP)功能,因此,从LTE系统的核心网切换至5G系统的核心网时,所述终端设备需要新增SDAP层的配置,以及UP功能的配置。反之,从NR系统的核心网切换至LTE系统的核心网时,所述终端设备需要删除SDAP层的配置,以及UP功能的配置。
因此,本申请实施例的切换网络的方法,在终端设备切换前后的接入网不发生变化,并且核心网类型发生变化的情况下,所述终端设备可以仅需要进行PDCP层和RRC的重新配置,而不需要进行RLC层、MAC层和PHY层的重新配置;在终端设备切换前后的接入网不发生变化,并且核心网类型不发生变化的情况下,所述终端设备可以不需要更新PDCP层和RRC的协议版本,并且不需要进行RLC层、MAC层和PHY层的重新配置,有利于降低终端设备在进行网络切换时的信令开销。
可选地,在一些实施例中,所述方法200还包括:
所述终端设备向所述第二核心网发送NAS消息,所述NAS消息用于触发所述第二核心网发起协议数据单元PDU会话建立过程。
具体地,在RRC层重新配置完成后,所述终端设备可以向所述第二核 心网发送NAS消息,触发所述第二核心网发起PDU会话建立过程或PDN连接建立过程。

可选地,在一些实施例中,所述网络设备为接入网设备或核心网设备。
