具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的网络接入辅助方法可以适用于网络侧设备,所述网络侧设备包括但不限于非地面网络中的空中设备、基站。所述非地面网络例如可以是物联网非地面网络IoT-NTN,所述IoT-NTN可以包括NB-IoT-NTN和eMTC-NTN,即通过卫星网络实现NB-IoT和eMTC。
针对空中设备而言,位于地面的终端,位于地面的基站和位于地面的网关可以通过所述空中设备通信,例如基站将信号发送至空中设备,再由空中设备发送至终端。所述基站包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站、NB-IoT基站、eMTC基站。或者所述空中设备即是4G基站、5G基站、6G基站、NB-IoT基站、eMTC基站。所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等电子设备。所述空中设备包括但不限于卫星、无人机、空中平台等,所述空中设备可以在空中运动,以下主要以卫星为例进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中,所述终端可以是后续任一实施例所述网络接入方法所适用的终端。
如图1所示,所述网络接入辅助方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S101中,向终端发送辅助信息,其中,所述辅助信息用于供所述终端在从非连接态醒来时使用以接入网络。
其中,醒来可以包括终端根据网络侧配置醒来,例如网络配置的定时器超时时接收下行信息;也可以包括终端根据自身需要醒来,例如终端有业务需要发送上行数据。
在一个实施例中,终端在进入非连接态(例如空闲态、非激活态)后,为了省电,可以进入睡眠状态,在睡眠状态终端不接收网络发送的下行信息。而在进入非连接态之前,可以从所在服务小区对应的卫星接收服务小区信息和邻小区信息,以供后续接入网络使用。
但是由于卫星在空中是高速运动的,当终端在睡眠状态保持了较长时间时,由于长时间没有接受网络发送的下行信息,当终端从睡眠状态醒来时,可能已经远离了原来所在的服务小区,那么进入非连接态之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息就失效了。
根据本实施例,可以由网络侧设备向终端发送辅助信息,以供终端在从非连接态醒来时使用以接入网络。据此,终端在从非连接态醒来后,可以根据辅助信息接入网络,而不必在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描来选择合适的网络,有利于降低接入网络的功耗,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息用于供所述终端在从非连接态醒来时使用以在至少一个目标小区中进行小区选择或小区重选。
终端可以根据辅助信息在至少一个目标小区中进行小区选择或小区重选。
其中,目标小区也可以是卫星形成的小区(例如卫星信号的覆盖范围所形成的小区),例如终端在进入非连接态之前,所在服务小区对应的卫星称作卫星A,卫星A中可以存储有多个其他卫星的星历信息,例如其他卫星的运动轨迹、运动周期、运动速度等,卫星A还可以预测终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长T。
从而卫星A可以在终端进入非连接态之前,预测经过时长T,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,预测到的小区也即所述目标小区,由于预测过程可以存在一定误差,因此目标小区可以是一个也可以是多个。
进而卫星可以将用于接入目标小区的相关信息作为辅助信息发送给终端,以便终端能够针对性地扫描目标小区的频点,从而接入目标小区,无需在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描。
在一些实施例中,所述辅助信息包括以下至少之一:
目标小区所属的公共陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,简称PLMN);目标小区的频率信息,例如中心频点、上行频率、下行频率等;目标小区的标识信息,例如物理小区标识PCI等;目标小区的同步信息,例如主同步信息PSS、辅同步信息 SSS等,在所述非地面网络属于窄带宽物联网NB-IoT时,PSS可以是窄带宽物联网主同步信息NPSS,SSS可以是窄带宽物联网辅同步信息NSSS。
例如辅助信息包括多个目标小区的中心频点,那么终端就只需针对这些中心频点进行扫描,来选择一个目标小区接入即可,而无需在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描,可以极大地降低接入网络的功耗,并且减少接入网络所需的时间,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息与所述目标小区一一对应。例如针对目标小区Cell1和目标小区Cell2而言,每个辅助信息都与目标小区一一对应,那么针对Cell1而言,需要指示的辅助信息包括Cell1的频率信息f1、Cell1所属的PLMN1、Cell1的PCI1、Cell1的PSS1和SSS1,针对Cell2而言,需要指示的辅助信息包括Cell2的频率信息f2、Cell2所属的PLMN2、Cell2的PCI2、Cell2的PSS2和SSS2。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息中的部分信息适用于全部目标小区,另一部分信息与目标小区一一对应。例如针对目标小区Cell1和目标小区Cell2而言,频率信息f和PLMN既适用于Cell1又适用于Cell2,其他辅助信息与目标小区一一对应,那么针对Cell1和Cell2,可以统一指示辅助信息中的f和PLMN,然后再针对Cell1指示辅助信息Cell1的PCI1、Cell1的PSS1和SSS1,在针对Cell2指示辅助信息Cell2的PCI2、Cell2的PSS2和SSS2。据此,可以减少一次f和PLMN的指示,有利于减少辅助信息占用的通信资源。
在一些实施例中,所述终端从非连接态醒来接入网络包括以下至少之一:
所述终端从扩展非连续接收中醒来接入网络、所述终端从省电模式中醒来接入网络。
在一个实施例中,终端进入睡眠状态可以是指终端进入扩展非连续接收eDRX(extend Discontinuous Reception)或者进入省电模式PSM(Power Saving Mode)。
由于终端在eDRX或者PSM中一般需要保持较长时间,从eDRX中醒来或者从PSM中醒来后,在进入eDRX或者PSM之前所在原服务小区对应的卫星已经飞离很远了,从而导致终端并不在原服务小区,也不在原服务小区所在的邻小区,导致之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息都失效了。
本实施例可以由网络侧设备向终端发送辅助信息,以供终端在从非连接态醒来后使用以接入网络。据此,终端在从eDRX中醒来时,或者从PSM中醒来时,可以根 据辅助信息接入网络,而不必因为之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息失效,而在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描来选择合适的网络,有利于降低接入网络的功耗,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述终端从扩展非连续接收中醒来接入网络包括:
所述终端在扩展非连续接收的周期结束之后,接收网络发送的下行信息;
所述终端在扩展非连续接收的周期结束之前,向网络发送上行数据。
在一个实施例中,终端从eDRX中醒来接入网络,包括但不限于两种情况。
一种情况是终端在eDRX的周期结束之后,接收网络发送的下行信息。
其中,在每个eDRX周期的开始阶段存在寻呼时间窗口(Paging Time Window,简称PTW),在寻呼时间窗口内,终端可以接收网络发送的下行信息,而在eDRX周期中寻呼时间窗口以外的时段,终端处于不可达状态,也即不接收网络发送的下行信息。终端在进入非连接态后,进入的eDRX的第一个周期结束后,可以进入eDRX的第二个周期,在eDRX的第二个周期的开始阶段可以存在PTW,在该PTW内,终端可以接收网络发送的下行信息。为了接收网络发送的下行信息,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而接收目标小区发送的下行信息。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于eDRX的周期,或者等于eDRX的周期减去PTW的长度,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
另一种情况是终端在eDRX的周期结束之前,向网络发送上行数据。
虽然在eDRX周期内,只有在开始阶段的PTW中,终端才能接收网络发送的下行信息,但是在eDRX周期内,终端也可以自主地向网络发送上行数据,例如在eDRX周期内,终端中有业务需要进行上行数据传输,那么终端可以自主醒来,并将上行数据发送给网络。为了向网络发送上行数据,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而向目标小区发送上行数据。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于终端进入非连接态到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,或者等于终端进入eDRX的第一周期内的PTW的结束时刻到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之 前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
通常,卫星可以通过终端的商业业务特性来确定终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,例如,在终端发送上行数据是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据发送上行数据的周期来确定终端发送上行数据的时刻;在终端发送上行数据不是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据终端历史上发送上行数据的时刻,并估算出终端发送上行数据的规律,进而根据该规律确定终端发送上行数据的时刻。
在一个实施例中,eDRX的周期一般较长,例如在20.48秒到2.92小时之间。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述终端从省电模式中醒来接入网络包括:
所述终端在跟踪区域更新(Tracking Area Update,简称TAU)定时器(该定时器也可以称作定时器T3412)超时之后,进行跟踪区域更新;
所述终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之前,向网络发送上行数据。
终端在进入非连接态后,在进入PSM之前,可以有一段时间处于非连续接收状态,跟踪区域更新定时器可以在这段非连续接收定时器结束之后启动,也可以在终端进入非连接态后就启动,具体可以根据需要设置。
在一个实施例中,终端从PSM中醒来接入网络,包括但不限于两种情况。
一种情况是终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之后,进行跟踪区域更新。
终端在跟踪区域定时器超时之后,需要与网络通信进行跟踪区域更新。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于跟踪区域更新定时器的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
另一种情况是终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之前,向网络发送上行数据。
终端可以在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之后进行跟踪区域更新,而在跟踪区域定时器超时之前,终端也可以自主地向网络发送上行数据,例如终端中有业务需要进行上行数据传输,那么终端可以自主醒来,并将上行数据发送给网络。为了向网络发送上行数据,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而向目标小区发送上行数据。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于终端进入非连接态到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以 预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
通常,卫星可以通过终端的商业业务特性来确定终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,例如,在终端发送上行数据是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据发送上行数据的周期来确定终端发送上行数据的时刻;在终端发送上行数据不是周期性的时候,卫星可以查询终端历史上发送上行数据的时刻,并估算出终端发送上行数据的规律,进而根据该规律确定终端发送上行数据的时刻。
图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。如图2所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S201中,向所述终端发送指示信息,其中,所述指示信息用于指示所述终端使用所述辅助信息。
在一个实施例中,网络可以向终端发送指示信息,以指示终端在什么情况下能够使用辅助信息,从而可以提高网络对终端使用辅助信息的可控性。
需要说明的是,指示信息可以是由网络发送给终端的,也可以是在终端中预先约定的,例如协议所约定的。
图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。如图3所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述辅助信息用于供所述终端在从扩展非连续接收中醒来时使用以接入网络,所述向所述终端发送指示信息包括:
在步骤S301中,响应于确定所述终端被配置了扩展非连续接收,向所述终端发送指示信息。
在一个实施例中,辅助信息可以供终端在从eDRX中醒来时使用以接入网络,那么辅助信息在终端被配置了eDRX的情况下对于终端才起作用,因此网络可以在终端被配置了eDRX的情况下,才向终端发送指示信息,而在终端没有被配置eDRX的情况下,由于辅助信息对终端并不起作用,也就无需向终端发送指示信息了,有利于节约通信资源。
图4是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。如图4所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述辅助信息供所述终端在从省电模式中醒来时使用以接入网络,所述向所述终端发送指示信息包括:
在步骤S401中,响应于确定所述终端被配置了省电模式,向所述终端发送指示信息。
在一个实施例中,辅助信息可以供终端在从PSM中醒来时使用以接入网络,那么辅助信息在终端被配置了PSM的情况下对于终端才起作用,因此网络可以在终端被配置了PSM的情况下,才向终端发送指示信息,而在终端没有被配置PSM的情况下,由于辅助信息对终端并不起作用,也就无需向终端发送指示信息了,有利于节约通信资源。

或者
所述指示信息用于指示所述终端在满足目标状态时使用所述辅助信息。
其中,目标定时器可以是特定的定时器,例如跟踪区域更新定时器T3412,也可以是网络根据需要动态配置的定时器;目标状态可以是特定的状态,例如从PSM中醒来。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述指示信息用于指示所述终端在所述目标定时器超时时使用所述辅助信息,所述辅助信息用于供所述终端在从扩展非连续接收中醒来时使用以接入网络,所述目标定时器的定时时长等于扩展非连续接收的周期。
在一个实施例中,在指示信息指示终端在目标定时器超时时使用辅助信息的情况下,辅助信息可以供终端在从eDRX中醒来时使用以接入网络,并且目标定时器的定时时长等于eDRX的周期。在这种情况下,终端在进入eDRX后,可以在eDRX的周期结束时,确定使用辅助信息接入网络。
需要说明的是,目标定时器的时长可以根据需要设置,例如可以小于eDRX的周期,那么当终端由于需要发送上行数据而醒来,在目标定时器超时时,终端在eDRX的周期结束之前使用辅助信息接入网络。
图5是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。如图5所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S501中,确定在所述扩展非连续接收的周期结束时所述终端所处的网络;
在步骤S502中,根据所述终端所处的网络生成所述辅助信息。
在一个实施例中,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于eDRX的周期,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,也即eDRX周期结束时,终端所处的网络,进而根据该网络生成辅助信息,例如网络的PLMN,而在可以具体预测到终端所处的小区时,可以将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
另外,卫星可以根据终端上行业务的特点,预测终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,例如终端在eDRX周期结束之前就醒来发送上行数据。卫星根据该时长预测终端醒来所处的网络,进而确定该网络对应的小区为目标小区,进而生成辅助信息,例如该小区的PLMN。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述指示信息用于指示所述终端在所述目标定时器超时时使用所述辅助信息,所述辅助信息用于供所述终端在从省电模式中醒来时使用以接入网络,所述目标定时器的定时时长等于跟踪区域更新定时器的定时时长。
在一个实施例中,在指示信息指示终端在目标定时器超时时使用辅助信息的情况下,辅助信息可以供终端在从PSM中醒来时使用以接入网络,并且目标定时器的定时时长等于跟踪区域更新定时器的定时时长。在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后,具体可以在进入PSM后,可以在跟踪区域更新定时器超时时,确定使用辅助信息,进而使用辅助信息接入网络。
图6是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种网络接入辅助方法的示意流程图。如图6所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
在步骤S601中,根据所述周期确定在所述跟踪区域更新定时器超时时所述终端所处的网络;

图7是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种网络接入方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的网络接入辅助方法可以适用于终端,所述终端可以与网络侧设备通信,所述网络侧设备包括但不限于非地面网络中的空中设备、基站。所述非地面网络例如可以是物联网非地面网络IoT-NTN,所述IoT-NTN可以包括NB-IoT-NTN和eMTC-NTN,即通过卫星网络实现NB-IoT和eMTC。
针对空中设备而言,位于地面的终端,位于地面的基站和位于地面的网关可以通过所述空中设备通信,例如基站将信号发送至空中设备,再由空中设备发送至终端。所述基站包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站、NB-IoT基站、eMTC基站。或者所述空中设备即是4G基站、5G基站、6G基站、NB-IoT基站、eMTC基站。所述 终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等电子设备。所述空中设备包括但不限于卫星、无人机、空中平台等,所述空中设备可以在空中运动,以下主要以卫星为例进行示例性说明。
在一个实施例中,所述网络侧设备可以是上述任一实施例所述网络接入方法所适用的网络侧设备。
如图7所示,所述网络接入方法可以包括以下步骤:
在步骤S701中,接收网络侧设备发送的辅助信息;
在步骤S702中,响应于从非连接态醒来,根据所述辅助信息接入网络。
其中,醒来可以包括终端根据网络侧配置醒来,例如网络配置的定时器超时时接收下行信息;也可以包括终端根据自身需要醒来,例如终端有业务需要发送上行数据。
在一个实施例中,终端在进入非连接态(例如空闲态、非激活态)后,为了省电,可以进入睡眠状态,在睡眠状态终端不接收网络发送的下行信息。而在进入非连接态之前,可以从所在服务小区对应的卫星接收服务小区信息和邻小区信息,以供后续接入网络使用。
但是由于卫星在空中是高速运动的,当终端在睡眠状态保持了较长时间时,由于长时间没有接受网络发送的下行信息,当终端从睡眠状态醒来时,可能已经远离了原来所在的服务小区,那么进入非连接态之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息就失效了。
根据本实施例,可以由网络侧设备向终端发送辅助信息,以供终端在从非连接态醒来后使用以接入网络。据此,终端在从非连接态醒来后,可以根据辅助信息接入网络,而不必在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描来选择合适的网络,有利于降低接入网络的功耗,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在一个实施例中,终端根据辅助信息接入网络包括,具体可以是根据辅助信息在至少一个目标小区中进行小区选择或小区重选。
终端可以根据辅助信息在至少一个目标小区中进行小区选择或小区重选。
其中,目标小区也可以是卫星形成的小区(例如卫星信号的覆盖范围所形成的小区),例如终端在进入非连接态之前,所在服务小区对应的卫星称作卫星A,卫星 A中可以存储有多个其他卫星的星历信息,例如其他卫星的运动轨迹、运动周期、运动速度等,卫星A还可以预测终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长T。
从而卫星A可以在终端进入非连接态之前,预测经过时长T,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,预测到的小区也即所述目标小区,由于预测过程可以存在一定误差,因此目标小区可以是一个也可以是多个。
进而卫星可以将用于接入目标小区的相关信息作为辅助信息发送给终端,以便终端能够针对性地扫描目标小区的频点,从而接入目标小区,无需在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描。
在一些实施例中,所述辅助信息包括以下至少之一:
目标小区所属的公共陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,简称PLMN);目标小区的频率信息,例如中心频点、上行频率、下行频率等;目标小区的标识信息,例如物理小区标识PCI等;目标小区的同步信息,例如主同步信息PSS、辅同步信息SSS等,在所述非地面网络属于窄带宽物联网NB-IoT时,PSS可以是窄带宽物联网主同步信息NPSS,SSS可以是窄带宽物联网辅同步信息NSSS。
例如辅助信息包括多个目标小区的中心频点,那么终端就只需针对这些中心频点进行扫描,来选择一个目标小区接入即可,而无需在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描,可以极大地降低接入网络的功耗,并且减少接入网络所需的时间,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息与所述目标小区一一对应。例如针对目标小区Cell1和目标小区Cell2而言,每个辅助信息都与目标小区一一对应,那么针对Cell1而言,需要指示的辅助信息包括Cell1的频率信息f1、Cell1所属的PLMN1、Cell1的PCI1、Cell1的PSS1和SSS1,针对Cell2而言,需要指示的辅助信息包括Cell2的频率信息f2、Cell2所属的PLMN2、Cell2的PCI2、Cell2的PSS2和SSS2。
在一个实施例中,所述辅助信息中的部分信息适用于全部目标小区,另一部分信息与目标小区一一对应。例如针对目标小区Cell1和目标小区Cell2而言,频率信息f和PLMN既适用于Cell1又适用于Cell2,其他辅助信息与目标小区一一对应,那么针对Cell1和Cell2,可以统一指示辅助信息中的f和PLMN,然后再针对Cell1指示辅助信息Cell1的PCI1、Cell1的PSS1和SSS1,在针对Cell2指示辅助信息Cell2的PCI2、Cell2的PSS2和SSS2。据此,可以减少一次f和PLMN的指示,有利于减少 辅助信息占用的通信资源。
在一些实施例中,所述从非连接态醒来包括以下至少之一:
从扩展非连续接收中醒来,从省电模式中醒来。
在一个实施例中,终端进入睡眠状态可以是指终端进入扩展非连续接收eDRX或者进入省电模式PSM。
由于终端在eDRX或者PSM中一般需要保持较长时间,从eDRX中醒来或者从PSM中醒来后,在进入eDRX或者PSM之前所在原服务小区对应的卫星已经飞离很远了,从而导致终端并不在原服务小区,也不在原服务小区所在的邻小区,导致之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息都失效了。
本实施例可以由网络侧设备向终端发送辅助信息,以供终端在从非连接态醒来后使用以接入网络。据此,终端在从eDRX中醒来时,或者从PSM中醒来时,可以根据辅助信息接入网络,而不必因为之前接收到的服务小区信息和邻小区信息失效,而在所支持的所有制式的所有频点上进行扫描来选择合适的网络,有利于降低接入网络的功耗,降低接入网络过程存在的时延。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述从扩展非连续接收中醒来包括:
在扩展非连续接收的周期结束之后,接收网络发送的下行信息;
在扩展非连续接收的周期结束之前,向网络发送上行数据。
在一个实施例中,终端从eDRX中醒来接入网络,包括但不限于两种情况。
一种情况是终端在eDRX的周期结束之后,接收网络发送的下行信息。
其中,在每个eDRX周期的开始阶段存在寻呼时间窗口,在寻呼时间窗口内,终端可以接收网络发送的下行信息,而在eDRX周期中寻呼时间窗口以外的时段,终端处于不可达状态,也即不接收网络发送的下行信息。终端在进入非连接态后,进入的eDRX的第一个周期结束后,可以进入eDRX的第二个周期,在eDRX的第二个周期的开始阶段可以存在PTW,在该PTW内,终端可以接收网络发送的下行信息。为了接收网络发送的下行信息,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而接收目标小区发送的下行信息。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于eDRX的周期,或者等于eDRX的周期减去PTW的长度,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前, 可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
另一种情况是终端在eDRX的周期结束之前,向网络发送上行数据。
虽然在eDRX周期内,只有在开始阶段的PTW中,终端才能接收网络发送的下行信息,但是在eDRX周期内,终端也可以自主地向网络发送上行数据,例如在eDRX周期内,终端中有业务需要进行上行数据传输,那么终端可以自主醒来,并将上行数据发送给网络。为了向网络发送上行数据,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而向目标小区发送上行数据。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于终端进入非连接态到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,或者等于终端进入eDRX的第一周期内的PTW的结束时刻到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
通常,卫星可以通过终端的业务特性来确定终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,例如,在终端发送上行数据是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据发送上行数据的周期来确定终端发送上行数据的时刻;在终端发送上行数据不是周期性的时候,卫星可以查询终端历史上发送上行数据的时刻,并估算出终端发送上行数据的规律,进而根据该规律确定终端发送上行数据的时刻。
在一个实施例中,eDRX的周期一般较长,例如在20.48秒到2.92小时之间。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述终端从省电模式中醒来接入网络包括:
所述终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之后,进行跟踪区域更新;
所述终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之前,向网络发送上行数据。
在一个实施例中,终端从PSM中醒来接入网络,包括但不限于两种情况。
一种情况是终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之后,进行跟踪区域更新。
终端在跟踪区域定时器超时之后,需要与网络通信进行跟踪区域更新。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于跟踪区域更新定时器的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
另一种情况是终端在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之前,向网络发送上行数据。
终端可以在跟踪区域更新定时器超时之后进行跟踪区域更新,而在跟踪区域定时器超时之前,终端也可以自主地向网络发送上行数据,例如终端中有业务需要进行上行数据传输,那么终端可以自主醒来,并将上行数据发送给网络。为了向网络发送上行数据,终端可以根据辅助信息确定目标小区,进而向目标小区发送上行数据。
在这种情况下,终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,可以视作等于终端进入非连接态到终发送上行数据的时刻的时长,那么卫星在终端进入非连接态之前,可以预测经过该时长,终端将会处于哪个卫星所形成的小区内,进而将预测到的小区作为目标小区。
通常,卫星可以通过终端的业务特性来确定终端在进入非连接态后到醒来的时长,例如,在终端发送上行数据是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据发送上行数据的周期来确定终端发送上行数据的时刻;在终端发送上行数据不是周期性的时候,卫星可以根据终端历史上发送上行数据的时刻,并估算出终端发送上行数据的规律,进而根据该规律确定终端发送上行数据的时刻。

在步骤S1001中,响应于从扩展非连续接收中醒来,在所述目标定时器超时时,根据所述辅助信息接入网络。
在一个实施例中,在终端使用辅助信息包括目标定时器超时的情况下,辅助信息可以供终端在从eDRX中醒来时使用以接入网络,并且目标定时器的定时时长等于eDRX的周期。在这种情况下,终端在进入eDRX后,可以在目标定时器超时时,也即eDRX的周期结束时,确定可以使用辅助信息,进而使用辅助信息。
需要说明的是,目标定时器的时长可以根据需要设置,例如可以小于eDRX的周期,那么在目标定时器超时时,终端在eDRX的周期结束之前使用辅助信息接入网络。

图12是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种网络接入方法的示意流程图。如图12所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,所述指示信息用于指示所述终端在满足目标状态时使用所述辅助信息,所述目标状态为所述终端在进入非连接态后的首个扩展非连续接收的周期结束,所述响应于从非连接态醒来,根据所述辅助信息接入网络包括:

需要说明的是,根据指示信息可以是从网络侧设备接收的,也可以是预先约定的。在指示信息是预先确定的情况下,终端不必接收网络侧设备发送的指示信息,可以自动确定是否满足目标状态,例如预先约定的指示信息指示的目标状态为终端从省电模式中醒来,那么终端可以自主确定在从省电模式中醒来时,就使用辅助信息接入网络,而无需根据网络侧设备的指示来确定什么情况下才能使用该辅助信息接入网络。或者预先约定的指示信息指示的目标状态为终端从第一个eDRX周期结束时醒来,那么终端可以自主确定在从第一个eDRX周期结束醒来时,就使用辅助信息接入网络,而无需根据网络侧设备的指示来确定什么情况下才能使用该辅助信息接入网络
