Abstract

本公开提供一种寻呼方法及装置,其中,所述方法包括:确定需要寻呼的终端当前所在的目标跟踪区域;确定所述终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息;根据所述目标切片信息,在处于所述目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中确定支持所述目标网络切片的至少一个目标基站;发送寻呼所述终端的第一寻呼信令给至少一个所述目标基站。本公开节省了核心网与基站之间的信令资源。

Description

寻呼方法及装置 技术领域
本公开涉及通信领域,尤其涉及寻呼方法及装置。
背景技术
在5G(5th Generation Mobile Networks,第五代移动通信技术)网络中,带有专用的支持系统和IT(Information Technology,信息技术)系统的蜂窝网络的模式,已经不能满足5G时代各行各业对网络的不同需求。需要对网络的速率、容量和覆盖率等网络性能指标进行灵活调整和组合,从而满足不同业务的个性化需求。
而网络切片是解决上述问题的手段之一。将网络资源进行切片,单一物理网络可以划分成多个逻辑虚拟网络,为典型的业务场景分配独立的网络切片,在切片内针对业务需求设计增强的网络架构,实现恰到好处的资源分配和流程优化,多个网络切片共用网络基础设施,从而提高网络资源利用率,为不同用户群使用的不同业务提供最佳支持。
不同的终端可以支持不同的网络切片,并且根据目前3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)的协议,同一个终端最多能同时支持8个网络切片,并且不同的基站也可以支持不同类型的网络切片。根据3GPP协议,目前的寻呼机制是,核心网想要寻呼某个终端时,会向该终端所在的TA(Tracking Area,跟踪区域)内的所有基站发送寻呼信令,收到核心网的寻呼信令的基站再发送寻呼信令来寻呼该终端。即使该终端所在的TA内的某个基站不支持该终端的当前业务,核心网也需要给该基站发送寻呼信令,该基站也需要进一步发送寻呼信令寻呼该终端。

下面先从核心网侧介绍本公开实施例提供的寻呼方法。
本公开实施例提供了一种寻呼方法,可以用于核心网,参照图1A所示,图1A是根据一实施例示出的一种寻呼方法流程图,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤101中,确定需要寻呼的终端当前所在的目标跟踪区域。
在本公开实施例中,核心网需要寻呼的终端当前处于空闲状态,核心网可以在有业务需要传输给该终端时,可以先确定该终端当前所在的目标跟踪区域。
在步骤102中,确定所述终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息。
本步骤中,核心网还可以根据终端当前业务,确定对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息。可选地,目标切片信息可以是目标网络切片的切片标识。
例如,终端当前业务为eMBB(Enhanced Mobile Broadband),增强移动宽带),该业务对应的目标网络切片的切片标识为网络切片1,核心网将该切片标识作为目标切片信息。
在本公开实施例中,不限定步骤101和步骤102的执行顺序,即可以先执行步骤101再执行步骤102,例如图1A所示,或者先执行步骤102再执行步骤101,例如图1B所示,或者步骤101和步骤102可以同步执行(图中未示出)。
在步骤103中,根据所述目标切片信息,在处于所述目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中确定支持所述目标网络切片的至少一个目标基站。
例如图2所示,目标切片信息为网络切片1,目标跟踪区域为TA1, TA1中基站1、2、3、4、5、7和8支持网络切片1,其他基站,基站6、9、10、11、12、13和14支持网络切片2,则核心网可以将基站1、2、3、4、5、7和8作为目标基站。
在步骤104中,发送寻呼所述终端的第一寻呼信令给至少一个所述目标基站。
本步骤中,核心网不再需要向目标跟踪区域内的所有基站,例如图3的TA1中的基站1至基站14都发送第一寻呼信令,只需要向目标基站发送第一寻呼信令即可,例如只需要向图3的TA1中的基站1、2、3、4、5、7和8发送第一寻呼信令,实现了节省核心网与基站之间的信令资源的目的。
上述实施例中,核心网可以先确定需要寻呼的终端当前所在的目标跟踪区域,并确定终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息,从而根据目标切片信息,在处于目标跟踪区域的多个基站中确定支持该目标网络切片的至少一个目标基站,核心网只向目标基站发送寻呼该终端的第一寻呼信令,实现了节省核心网与基站之间的信令资源的目的。
任何通过改变步骤顺序达到本公开实施例中核心网只向目标跟踪区域的目标基站发送第一寻呼信令,从而节省核心网与基站之间的信令资源的技术方案均应属于本公开的保护范围。同样地,在5G实施标准中,能够通过调整上述步骤的执行顺序,达到本公开技术效果的方案均属于本公开的保护范围。
在一可选实施例中,参照图4A所示,图4A是根据图1A所示的实施例示出的另一种寻呼方法流程图,上述方法还包括:
在步骤100中,接收所述多个基站中每个基站上报的其所支持的网络切片的切片信息。
核心网可以预先接收每个基站上报的该基站所支持的网络切片的切片信息,其中,每个基站支持至少一个网络切片。
例如,基站m支持网络切片1、3和4,基站n支持网络切片2等。
则上述步骤103可以包括:
在处于所述目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中,将所述切片信息包括所述目标切片信息的至少一个基站作为所述目标基站。
在本公开实施例中,核心网可以在处于目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中,根据每个基站之前上报的切片信息,将切片信息中包括了终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息的基站作为目标基站。
例如目标跟踪区域内基站1、2、3、4、5、7和8之前上报的各自所支持的网络切片的切片信息中都包括了目标切片信息,则核心网直接将基站1、2、3、4、5、7和8作为目标基站。
上述实施例中,核心网还可以接收每个基站上报的每个基站分别支持的网络切片的切片信息,在确定了终端所在的目标跟踪区域后,可以在处于目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中,将切片信息包括终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息的至少一个基站,作为目标基站。通过上述过程,核心网可以快速在处于目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中,确定支持终端当前业务的目标基站,从而在后续核心网可以只向目标基站发送第一寻呼信令,可用性高。
在一可选实施例中,执行步骤100之后,还可以先执行上述步骤102再执行步骤101,例如图4B所示,本公开对此不作限定。
在一可选实施例中,上述步骤100可以包括:
接收所述多个基站中所述每个基站通过与所述核心网之间的目标接口上报的其所支持的所述网络切片的所述切片信息。
在本公开实施例中,目标接口可以是核心网与基站之间的NG接口,例如图3所示,基站可以通过NG接口的NG SETUP REQUEST(连接建立请求)信令来请求与核心网建立连接以及上报该基站支持的网络切片的切片信息,核心网可以通过NG SETUP RESPONSE(连接建立响应)信令来确认与基站建立连接以及确认接收到切片信息。
上述实施例中,核心网可以通过自身与每个基站之间的目标接口来接 收每个基站上报的其所支持的网络切片的切片信息,实现简便,可用性高。
在一可选实施例中,上述步骤104可以包括:
通过所述核心网与至少一个所述目标基站之间的目标接口发送寻呼所述终端的第一寻呼信令给至少一个所述目标基站。
在本公开实施例中,核心网在确定了目标基站之后,同样可以通过核心网与目标基站之间的目标接口,例如NG接口发送寻呼所述终端的第一寻呼信令给至少一个目标基站。
上述实施例中,核心网在发送寻呼该终端的第一寻呼信令到目标基站时,可以通过核心网与每个目标基站之间的目标接口发送第一寻呼信令,实现简便,可用性高。
在一可选实施例中,核心网向基站发送的寻呼终端的第一寻呼信令中可以包括需要寻呼的终端的终端标识和该终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息,例如表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2019118371-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2019118371-appb-000002
上述实施例中,第一寻呼信令中可以包括核心网需要寻呼的终端的终端标识以及该终端当前业务所对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息。后续基站可以根据终端标识和目标切片信息,发送第二寻呼信令来寻呼终端,让被寻呼的终端可以更准确地与网络侧建立连接。
下面再从基站侧介绍本公开实施例提供的寻呼方法。
参照图5,图5是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种寻呼方法流程图,所述方法用于基站,包括:
在步骤201中,接收核心网在确定所述基站处于目标跟踪区域内且支持目标网络切片后,向所述基站发送的寻呼终端的第一寻呼信令。
核心网可以在确定了该基站处于目标跟踪区域内且该基站支持目标网络切片之后,通过核心网与基站之间的目标接口,例如NG接口向基站发送第一寻呼信令。
在步骤202中,根据所述第一寻呼信令,发送第二寻呼信令寻呼所述终端。
本步骤中,基站可以根据核心网发送的第一寻呼信令,通过空中接口发送第二寻呼信令来寻呼处于空闲状态的该终端。
上述实施例中,基站可以接收核心网在确定了该基站在目标跟踪区域 内且支持目标网络切片后,向该基站发送的用于寻呼该终端的第一寻呼信令。进一步地,基站可以根据第一寻呼信令,发送第二寻呼信令来寻呼终端。节省了基站与终端之间的信令资源,且避免目标跟踪区域内的所有基站向终端发送寻呼信令所造成的终端电量的损耗,节省了终端电量。
在一可选实施例中,核心网发送的所述第一寻呼信令中包括所述终端的终端标识和所述目标切片信息。则上述步骤202可以包括:
发送携带所述终端标识和所述目标切片信息的所述第二寻呼信令寻呼所述终端。
终端在接收到基站发送的第二寻呼信令之后,可以根据终端标识确定自身是否是核心网寻呼的终端,在确定自身是核心网寻呼的终端后,可以根据目标切片信息在该终端自身支持的至少一个网络切片中通过目标切片信息对应的目标网络切片,与网络侧建立连接,实现了终端可以更准确地与网络侧建立连接的目的。
上述实施例中,核心网发送给基站的第一寻呼信令中如果包括需要寻呼的终端的终端标识和该终端当前业务对应的目标切片信息,则基站在发送第二寻呼信令寻呼该终端时,可以在第二寻呼信令中携带终端标识和目标切片信息,从而让终端根据终端标识和目标切片信息更好地与网络侧建立连接。
在一可选实施例中,参照图6所示,图6是根据一实施例示出的另一种寻呼方法流程图,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤300中,核心网接收基站通过基站与核心网之间的目标接口上报的其所支持的网络切片的切片信息。
其中,目标接口可以是NG接口。
在步骤301中,核心网确定需要寻呼的终端当前所在的目标跟踪区域。
在步骤302中,核心网确定终端当前业务对应的目标网络切片的目标切片信息。
在本公开实施例中,不限定上述步骤301和步骤302的执行顺序。
在步骤303中,核心网在处于目标跟踪区域内的多个基站中,将切片信息包括目标切片信息的至少一个基站作为目标基站。
在步骤304中,核心网通过核心网与至少一个目标基站之间的目标接口发送寻呼终端的第一寻呼信令给至少一个所述目标基站。
其中,第一寻呼信令中包括终端的终端标识和目标切片信息。
在步骤305中,目标基站根据第一寻呼信令,发送携带终端标识和目标切片信息的第二寻呼信令寻呼终端。
目标基站可以通过空中接口发送第二寻呼信令。
终端在接收到第二寻呼信令之后,可以根据终端标识确定自身是否是核心网寻呼的终端,在确定自身是核心网寻呼的终端后,可以根据目标切片信息在该终端自身支持的至少一个网络切片中通过目标切片信息对应的目标网络切片,与网络侧建立连接。
上述实施例中,核心网只向目标基站发送寻呼该终端的第一寻呼信令,节省了核心网与基站之间的信令资源,基站在接收到第一寻呼信令之后,再发送第二寻呼信令给终端,节省了基站与终端之间的信令资源,且避免目标跟踪区域内的所有基站向终端发送寻呼信令所造成的终端电量的损耗,节省了终端电量。
