需要说明的是,本实施例中,第二消息可以为第一消息的响应消息,比如,当第一消息为第一网络设备与第二网络设备之间连接接口的建立请求消息时,第二消息为第一网络设备与第二网络设备之间连接接口的建立请求响应消息。具体地,当第一消息X2接口建立请求消息时,第二消息为X2接口建立请求响应消息。当第一消息为EN-DC X2接口建立请求消息时,第二消息为EN-DC X2接口建立请求响应消息。当第一消息为XN接口建立请求消息时,第二消息为第一消息为XN接口建立请求响应消息。
需要说明的是,本实施例中,第二消息还可以是其他消息,比如,第二消息还可以为第一网络设备与第二网络设备之间的私有消息,此处不做限定。
本实施例中,第二网络设备在第一消息中携带第一PLMN的配置信息,从而可以使得第一网络设备可以从第一消息中确定第二网络设备的第一PLMN的配置信息,第一网络设备在第二消息中携带第二PLMN的配置信息,从而可以使得第二网络设备可以从第二消息中确定第一网络设备的第二PLMN的配置信息,因此,本实施例中,第一网络设备与第二网络设备在信息中携带各自的PLMN的配置信息,提高了网络设备获取的PLMN的配置信息的准确性。
上面对本申请实施例提供的一种PLMN的配置信息的处理方法进行了描述,下面对本申请实施例提供的另一种PLMN的配置信息的处理方法进行描述。
请参考图3,图3为本申请实施例提供的另一种PLMN的配置信息的处理方法的示意性 流程图,如图3所示,该示意性流程图可以包括以下步骤:
301、第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送第一消息。

304、第一网络设备确定第二网络设备是否允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区,若是,则执行步骤305,若否,则执行步骤306。
第一网络设备接收第一终端设备发送的测量报告,并从该测量报告中确定第一终端设备请求切换至第二网络设备的第一小区。当第一网络设备确定第一终端设备请求切换至第二网络设备第一小区时,第一网络设备根据第一PLMN的配置信息确定第二网络设备是否允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区。需要说明的是,第一PLMN的配置信息可以仅包括第一小区的reserved指示信息;第一PLMN的配置信息也可以仅包括第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型;第一PLMN的配置信息还可以包括第一小区的reserved指示信息和第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型。
下面对第一网络设备根据第一PLMN的配置信息确定第二网络设备是否允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区进行详细描述:
304-1、第一PLMN的配置信息仅包括第一小区的reserved指示信息。
当第一PLMN的配置信息仅包括第一小区的reserved指示信息时,第一网络设备从第一PLMN的配置信息中确定第一小区的reserved指示信息,以及根据第一终端设备的设备信息确定第一终端设备所对应的运营商,然后根据第一小区的reserved指示信息和第一终端设备所对应的运营商确定第二网络设备是否允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区。
比如,当第一小区的reserved指示信息指示第一小区所reserved的运营商为中国移动,而第一移动终端所对应的运营商为中国联通时,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。当第一小区的reserved指示信息指示第一小区所reserved的运营商为中国移动,而第一移动终端所对应的运营商为中国移动时,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备不允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。
可以理解的是,当第一小区的reserved指示信息指示第一小区不reserved的任何运营商,第一网络设备可以根据第一小区的reserved指示信息确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。
304-2、第一PLMN的配置信息仅包括第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型。
当第一PLMN的配置信息仅包括第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型时,第一网络设备从第一PLMN的配置信息中确定第一小区所支持的核心网,以及根据第一终端设备的设备信息确定第一终端设备所支持的核心网,然后根据第一小区所支持的核心网类型和第一终端设备所支持的核心网确定第二网络设备是否允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区。
具体地,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN支持的核心网包括5G核心网以及EPC,而第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。可以理解的是,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN支持的核心网包括5G核心网以及EPC,第一移动终端所支持的核心网为5G核心网时,第一网络设备也可以确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。
又比如,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN仅支持的5G核心网,而第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC,则第一网络设备确定第二网络设备不允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。可以理解的是,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN仅支持的5G核心网,而第一移动终端所支持的核心网为5G核心网时,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。
再比如,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN支持的EPC,则无论第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC或者5G核心网,第一网络设备也可以确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备从当前小区切换至第一小区。
304-3、第一PLMN的配置信息包括第一小区的reserved指示信息和第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型。
本实施例中,第一网络设备从第一PLMN的配置信息中确定第一小区的reserved指示信息和第一小区所支持的核心网类型,以及从第一终端设备的设备信息确定第一终端设备所对应的运营商和第一终端设备所支持的核心网,然后根据第一小区的reserved指示信息、第一终端设备所对应的运营商、第一小区所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网确定第二网络设备是否允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区。
具体地,第一网络设备判断第一小区reserved的运营商与第一移动终端所对应的运营商是否相同,当第一小区reserved的运营商与第一移动终端所对应的运营商不相同,则第一网络设备进一步判断第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型是否相匹配,当第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型相匹配时,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区。也就是说,当第一小区reserved的运营商与第一移动终端所对应的运营商不相同,并且第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和第一终端设备所支持的核心网类型相匹配时,第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区。可以理解的是,当第一小区reserved的运营商与第一移动终端所对应的运营商相同,第一网络设备直接确定第二网络设备不允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区,无需判断第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型是否相匹配。
本实施例中第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和第一终端设备所支持的核心网类型相匹配可以包括以下情况:
比如,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN支持的核心网包括5G核心网以及EPC,而第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC,第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型相匹配。可以理解的是,当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN支持的核心网包括5G核心网以及EPC,第一移动终端所支持的核心网为5G核心网,第一小区所支 持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型也相匹配。
当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN仅支持的5G核心网,而第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC,第一小区所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型不匹配。
当第一PLMN的配置信息中指示第一PLMN仅支持的EPC,则无论第一移动终端所支持的核心网为EPC或者5G核心网,第一小区所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型相匹配。
需要说明的是,本实施例中,第一小区reserved的运营商与第一移动终端所对应的运营商相同和第一小区所支持的核心网类型和终端设备所支持的核心网类型不匹配只要存在一项,第一网络设备可以确定第二网络设备不允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区。
305、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送切换准备请求。
当第一网络设备确定第二网络设备允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区时,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送切换准备请求,其中,该切换准备请求指示第一终端设备切换至第一小区。
306、第一网络设备不向第二网络设备发送切换准备请求。
当第一网络设备确定第二网络设备不允许第一终端设备切换至第一小区时,第一网络设备不向第二网络设备发起切换准备请求。
本实施例中,第二网络设备在第一消息中携带第一PLMN的配置信息,从而可以使得第一网络设备可以从第一消息中携带的第一小区的reserved指示信息和/或第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型确定第一终端设备是否可以切换至第二网络设备的小区。因此,本实施例中,第一网络设备在向第二网络设备发起切换准备请求之前,第一网络设备就可以从第一PLMN的配置信息确定第二网络设备是否允许终端设备切换至第二网络设备的小区,避免了第一网络设备向第二网络设备发起的盲切换,提高了站间小区切换的成功率。
上面对本申请实施例提供的一种PLMN的配置信息的处理方法进行了描述,下面对本申请实施例提供的另一种PLMN的配置信息的处理方法进行描述。

具体地,第一小区的reserved指示信息指示的是被第一小区reserved的运营商。比如,当第一运营商被第一小区reserved时,第一小区的reserved指示信息指示第一运营商在第一小区中是reserved的,也就是说第二网络设备通过向第一网络设备发送的第一配置更新消息告知第一网络设备,第一运营商在第一小区中是reserved的。可以理解的是,当第一运营商在第一小区中为reserved时,第一运营商的终端设备不能切换至第一小区中。比如,当第一运营商为中国移动,而中国移动被第一小区reserved,则第二网络设备不允许中国移动的终端设备接入第一小区。
402-2、第一PLMN的配置信息包括第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型。
具体地,第一PLMN的配置信息包括第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型。比如,当第一小区包括多个PLMN,即第一PLMN包括多个PLMN,其中该多个PLMN中的每个PLMN都仅支持4G核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)时,则第一PLMN的配置信息指示第一小区支持EPC,也就是说第一PLMN的配置信息指示第二网络设备允许支持4G的终端设备切换至第一小区。可以理解的是,当第二网络设备允许支持4G的终端设备置换至第一小区,第二网络设备也可以支持5G的终端设备置换至第一小区。
当第一PLMN包括的多个PLMN中的每个PLMN仅支持5G核心网时,第一PLMN的配置信息指示第一小区仅支持5G核心网,也就是说第一PLMN的配置信息指示第二网络设备仅允许支持5G的终端设备切换至第一小区。需要说明的是,第一PLMN的配置信息指示第二网络设备仅允许支持5G的终端设备置换至第一小区时,第二网络设备不允许不支持5G的终端设备切换至第一小区,比如,不允许仅支持4G的终端设备置换至第一小区。
当第一PLMN包括的多个PLMN中的至少一个PLMN支持5G核心网和至少一个PLMN支持EPC时,第一PLMN的配置信息指示第一小区支持5G核心网和EPC。也就是说第一PLMN的配置信息指示第二网络设备允许支持5G的终端设备和支持4G的移动终端切换至第一小区。
可以理解的是,支持5G的终端设备可以是指该终端设备支持的核心网为5G核心网,支持4G的终端设备可以是指该终端设备支持的核心网为EPC。
403、第一网络设备变更配置信息。
第一网络设备可变更其配置信息。其中,配置信息的变更可以是指频点信息的变更、小区信息的变更和/或PLMN信息的变更。比如,频点信息的变更可以是更改小区的频点、小区信息的变更可以是添加小区或者删除小区、PLMN信息的变更可以是增加PLMN和删除PLMN。
需要说明的是,本实施例所提供的第一网络设备的配置信息的变更可以是频点信息的变更、小区信息的变更和/或PLMN信息的变更,还可以是其他的配置的变更,此处不做限定。
404、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第二配置更新消息。
当第一网络设备变更配置信息完成之后,第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第二配置更新消息,其中,该第二配置更新消息包括第二PLMN的配置信息,第二PLMN为第二小区的PLMN,第二小区为第一网络设备所覆盖的小区。
具体地,第二PLMN的配置信息可以包括第二小区的reserved指示信息和/或第二PLMN所支持的核心网类型。下面对第二PLMN的配置信息包括第二小区的reserved指示信息和第二PLMN所支持的核心网类型分别进行描述:
404-1、第二PLMN的配置信息包括第二小区的reserved指示信息。
具体地,第二小区的reserved指示信息指示的是被第二小区reserved的运营商。比如,当第二运营商被第二小区reserved时,第二小区的reserved指示信息指示第二运营商在第二小区中是reserved的,也就是说第一网络设备通过向第二网络设备发送的第二PLMN的配置信息告知第二网络设备,第二运营商在第二小区中是reserved的。可以理解的是,当第二运营商在第二小区中为reserved时,第二运营商的终端设备不能切换至第二小区中。比如,当第二运营商为中国联通,而中国联通被第二小区reserved,则第一网络设备不允许中国联通的终端设备接入第二小区。
404-2、第二PLMN的配置信息包括第二PLMN所支持的核心网类型。
具体地,第二PLMN的配置信息包括第二PLMN所支持的核心网类型。比如,当第二小区包括多个PLMN,即第二PLMN包括多个PLMN,其中该多个PLMN中的每个PLMN都仅支持EPC时,则第二PLMN的配置信息指示第二小区支持EPC,也就是说第二PLMN的配置信息指示第一网络设备允许支持4G的终端设备切换至第二小区。可以理解的是,当第一网络设备允许支持4G的终端设备置换至第二小区,第一网络设备也可以允许支持5G的终端设备置换至第二小区。
当第二PLMN包括的多个PLMN中的每个PLMN仅支持5G核心网时,第二PLMN的配置信息指示第二小区仅支持5G核心网,也就是说第二PLMN的配置信息指示第一网络设备仅允许支持5G的终端设备切换至第二小区。需要说明的是,第二PLMN的配置信息指示第一网络设备仅允许支持5G的终端设备置换至第二小区时,第一网络设备不允许不支持5G的终端设备切换至第二小区,比如,不允许仅支持4G的终端设备置换至第二小区。
当第二PLMN包括的多个PLMN中的至少一个PLMN支持5G核心网和至少一个PLMN支持EPC时,第二PLMN的配置信息指示第二小区支持5G核心网和EPC。也就是说第二PLMN的配置信息指示第二网络设备允许支持5G的终端设备和支持4G的移动终端切换至第二小区。
需要说明的是,本实施例中,步骤403至步骤404为可选步骤,在实际应用中可执行,也不可以不执行。
405、第一终端设备向第一网络设备发送测量报告。
406、第一网络设备确定第二网络设备是否允许所述第一终端设备切换至第一小区,若是,则执行步骤407,若否,则执行步骤408。

408、第一网络设备不向第二网络设备发送切换准备请求。
本实施例中,步骤405至步骤408与前述图3实施例对应的步骤303至步骤306类似,此处不再赘述。
本实施例中,第二网络设备在第一配置更新消息中携带第一PLMN的配置信息,从而可以使得第一网络设备从第一配置更新消息携带的第一小区的reserved指示信息和/或第一PLMN所支持的核心网类型确定第一第一终端设备是否可以切换至第二网络设备的小区。第一网络设备在第二配置更新消息中携带第二PLMN的配置信息,从而可以使得第二网络设备从第二配置更新消息携带的第二小区的reserved指示信息和/或第二PLMN所支持的核心网类型确定接入第二网络设备的终端设备是否可以切换至第一网络设备的小区。因此,本实施例中,第一网络设备在向第二网络设备发起切换准备请求之前,第一网络设备可以从第一配置更新消息中的第一PLMN的配置信息确定第二网络设备是否允许终端设备切换至第二网络设备的小区,避免了第一网络设备向第二网络设备发起的盲切换,以及提高了站间小区切换的成功率。
