具体实施方式
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,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,都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请实施例的说明书、权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的本申请的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述之外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
在介绍本申请的技术方案之前,首先对本申请实施例所涉及的名词进行解释:
公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN)
PLMN是由政府或它所批准的经营者,为公众提供陆地移动通信业务目的而建立和经营的网络,该网路通常与公众交换电话网(public switched telephone network,PSTN)互连,形成整个地区或国家规模的通信网。
在实际应用中,为了让用户搞清楚所处的PLMN,每个PLMN都应该有明确的标识(编号),并作为系统信息由基站来广播,让基站下的终端设备都能够接收到。
目前,PLMN通常由移动国家码(mobile country codes,MCC)和移动网络码(mobile network codes,MNC)组成,即,PLMN=MCC+MNC。由于每个移动通信运营商的网络算是一个PLMN,因此,不同运营商的网络是不同的PLMN。随着虚拟运营商的兴起,虚拟运营商也可以算成是一个PLMN。
对于一个特定的终端设备,通常需要维护和/或保存几种不同类型的PLMN表,每个PLMN表中会有多个PLMN。示例性的,每个PLMN表包括的多个PLMN可以如下:
已登记PLMN(registered PLMN,RPLMN):终端设备在上次关机或脱网前登记的PLMN;
等效PLMN(equivalent PLMN,EPLMN):与终端设备当前所选择的PLMN处于同等地位的PLMN,其优先级相同。
等效归属PLMN(equivalent home PLMN,EHPLMN):与终端设备当前所选择的PLMN处于同等地位的归属PLMN;
归属PLMN(home PLMN,HPLMN):终端用户归属的PLMN;终端设备中全球用户识别(universal subscriber identity module,USIM)卡上国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identity,IMSI)号中包含的MCC和MNC与HPLMN上的MCC和MNC是一致的;
访问PLMN(visited PLMN,VPLMN):终端用户访问的PLMN。该PLMN与终端设备中USIM卡上IMSI中的MCC、MNC不完全相同;
用户控制PLMN(user controlled PLMN,UPLMN):储存在USIM卡上的一个与PLMN选择有关的参数;
运营商控制PLMN(operator controlled PLMN,OPLMN):储存在USIM卡上的一个与PLMN选择有关的参数;
禁用PLMN(forbidden PLMN,FPLMN):被禁止访问的PLMN,通常终端设备在尝试接入某个PLMN被拒绝以后,会将其加到本列表中;
可捕获PLMN(approve PLMN,APLMN):终端能在该APLMN上找到至少一个小区,并能读出其PLMN标识信息的PLMN。
可以理解的是,不同类型的PLMN其优先级别不同,终端设备在进行PLMN选择时,将按照以下顺序依次进行:RPLMN、EPLMN、HPLMN、EHPLMN、UPLMN、OPLMN、其他的PLMN。
下述在介绍本申请的背景技术和技术方案之前,首先对本申请所适用的通信系统进行介绍。
示例性的,图1为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的结构示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统可以包括至少一个终端设备和至少两个网络设备。图1以示出一个终端设备11和两个网络设备(第一网络设备12和第二网络设备13),即以终端设备11位于两个网络的覆盖范围内进行解释说明。
在图1所示实施例的通信系统中,假设第一网络设备12为第一PLMN中的网络设备,第二网络设备13为第二PLMN中的网络设备,本实施例中,以第一PLMN的覆盖范围内包括第一网络设备12,第二PLMN的覆盖范围内包括第二网络设备13进行解释说明,此处不对第一PLMN和第二PLMN覆盖的设备数量进行限定。
示例性的,假设终端设备11同时处于第一PLMN和第二PLMN的覆盖范围内,这时,终端设备11在开机或重启或进入空闲态时,需要重新选择PLMN,例如,可以根据第一PLMN的优先级和信号质量、第二PLMN的优先级和信号质量从第一PLMN和第二PLMN中确定出最终选择的PLMN。
可选的,在本申请的实施例中,每个网络设备所在的网络可以包括:非3GPP接入的互通网元(non-3GPP interworking function,N3IWF),接入及移动性管理(access and mobility management function,AMF)、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)、用户面功能网元(user plane function,UPF)等功能网元。本申请实施例中的第一网络设备和第二网络设备的体现形式可以为其所在网络的任意一个网元。其中,AMF主要是接入和移动管理功能,UPF主要用于接收控制信令,以及处理用户面数据等功能。
示例性的,每个网络设备所在的网络不限于包括N3iwf、AMF、SMF、UPF,其还可以包括:认证服务器功能网元(authentication server function,AUSF)、统一的数据管理(unified data management,UDM)、认证信任状存储和处理功能(authentication credential repository and processing function,ARPF) 等其他的网元,本申请实施例不限于此。其中,AUSF主要用于执行与认证相关的操作;UDM用于执行用户数据的管理等功能;ARPF主要用于执行用户的身份、密钥和签约数据等的存储以及处理等。
可选地,该通信系统还可以包括更多的网络设备,并且每个网络设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端设备,本申请实施例对该通信系统中包括的网络设备和终端设备的数量不做限定。

可以理解的是,图1只是通信系统的一种示意图,该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备,例如,核心网设备、无线中继设备和无线回传设备,或者可以包括网络控制器、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本申请实施例不限于此。

通常来说,传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限,也易于实现,然而,随着通信技术的发展,移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信,还将支持例如,设备到设备(device to device,D2D)通信,机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)通信,机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC),以及车辆间(vehicle to vehicle,V2V)通信等,本申请实施例也可以应用于这些通信系统。
本申请实施例描述的系统架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备,可以是普通的基站(如NodeB或eNB或者gNB)、新无线控制器(new radio controller,NR controller)、集中式网元(centralized unit)、新无线基站、射频拉远模块、微基站、中继(relay)、分布式网元(distributed unit)、接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、传输点(transmission point,TP)或者任何其它设备。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为方便描述,本申请所有实施例中,上述为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置统称为网络设备。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以是任意的终端,比如,终端设备可以是机器类通信的用户设备。也就是说,该终端设备也可称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal)、终端(terminal)等,该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如,终端设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有移动终端的计算机等,例如,终端设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。本申请实施例中不做具体限定。
可选的,网络设备和终端设备可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上;还可以部署在空中的飞机、气球和人造卫星上。本申请的实施例对网络设备和终端设备的应用场景不做限定。
可选的,网络设备和终端设备之间以及终端设备和终端设备之间可以通过授权频谱(licensed spectrum)进行通信,也可以通过免授权频谱(unlicensed spectrum)进行通信,也可以同时通过授权频谱和免授权频谱进行通信。本申请的实施例对网络设备和终端设备之间通信所使用的频谱不做限定。
下面首先介绍一下提出本申请技术方案的背景:
现阶段,终端设备在用户的控制下,可以工作在关机状态、待机状态和联机状态等三种工作模式中的任何一种模式下。其中,终端设备处于关机状态时会与无线网络断开连接,因而,终端设备在开机后,首要任务是搜索网络并注册,即选网操作。终端设备的选网操作可以分为PLMN选择和小区搜索两个过程。
其中,在PLMN选择过程中,终端设备内部的芯片会从USIM卡内读取具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器(HPLMN Selector with Access Technology)、具有接入技术的用户控制PLMN选择器(User  Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology)、禁止PLMN(Forbidden PLMNs)、等效HPLMN(Equivalent HPLMN)、具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器(Operator controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology)等文件,而且,终端设备中芯片的非接入(NAS)层会触发接入层(AS)读取周围小区的系统信息,从系统信息中获得周围小区所属的PLMN ID,接入层再把这些PLMN ID都上报给NAS层,NAS层从中选择最终的PLMN。
此外,接入层还会将低于质量阈值(例如,-110dB)的PLMN的信号质量也报给NAS层,也就是PLMN ID+信号质量。
通常情况下,终端设备开机先选PLMN网络,然后再选择小区,但由于终端设备开机时不知道自己用的SIM卡或USIM卡是哪个PLMN的,因而,终端设备开机后先对所有频点进行扫描,哪个频点信号最好就选哪个,这时候不管是哪家运营商的,它都监听该频点的频率校正信道(frequency correction channel,FCCH)、同步信道(synchronization channel,SCH),接着监听广播控制信道(broadcast control channel,BCCH),BCCH里有基站识别码(base station identity code,BSIC),BSIC里面的网络色码(network color code,NCC)可以区别该频点是哪家运营商的,要是不合适就选信号次强的频点继续完成上述步骤。
示例性的,终端设备中的NAS层选择PLMN时遵循以下顺序:
1、HPLMN(如果EHPLMN列表不存在或为空)或者最高优先级的EHPLMN(如果EHPLMN列表存在),其英文表述为:either the HPLMN(if the EHPLMN list is not present or is empty)or the highest priority EHPLMN(equivalent HPLMN)that is available(if the EHPLMN list is present)。
可选的,HPLMN ID从USIM卡的IMSI中可以获得。示例性的,图2为USIM卡中IMSI的结构示意图。IMSI是区别移动用户的标志,储存在USIM卡中,可用于区别移动用户的有效信息。如图2所示,IMSI的总长度不超过15位,使用0~9的数字表示,IMSI包括:MCC、MNC和移动用户识别码(mobile subscriber identification number,MSIN),其中,MCC是移动用户所属国家代号,占3位数字;MNC是移动网号码,通常占2或3个数字,用于识别移动用户所归属的移动通信网;MSIN用以识别某一移动通信网中的移动用户。
可选的,USIM卡中存在具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器(HPLMN Selector with Access Technology)文件。示例性的,表1为具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件的结构。如表1所示,该具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件的标识(Identifier)为6F62,结构(Structure)是透明的(Transparent),存在的状态为可选(Optional),短基本文件标识(short elementary file identifier,SFI)为13;文件大小(File size)为5n个字节(bytes),其中,n≥1,更新活跃度(Update activity)为低(low)。
可选的,在表1中,在满足接入条件时,针对基本文件(elementary file,EF)的接入操作分为读(READ)、更新(UPDATE)、去激活(DEACTIVATE)和激活(ACTIVATE),其中,读取(READ)需要检查个人识别码(personal identification number,PIN)正确,更新(UPDATE)、去激活(DEACTIVATE)和激活(ACTIVATE)需要满足授权(ADM)。
示例性的,参照表1所示,具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件中对各字节的描述为:字节1至3用于描述第一个PLMN,在文件中是必选的(Mandatory,M),长度为3个字节,字节4至5用于描述第一个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是必选的(M),长度为2字节;字节6至8用于描述第二个PLMN,在文件中是可选的(Optional,O),长度为3个字节,字节9至10用于描述第二个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是可选的(O),长度为2字节;依次类推,字节(5n-4)至(5n-2)用于描述第n个PLMN,在文件中是可选的(O),长度为3个字节,字节(5n-1)至(5n)用于第n个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是可选的(O),长度为2字节。
表1具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件的结构

Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000002
由上表分析可知,HPLMN在文件中排的越靠前,优先级越高。
例如:移动的4G卡,配置LTE优先级高于2G,则终端设备在选择PLMN时会优先选择移动4G网络;而当周围没有4G覆盖时,终端设备会选择移动2G网络。
在实际应用中,由于EHPLMN和HPLMN可以为终端设备提供相同的服务,两者的作用相同,因而,上述表1中的无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)的优先级也同样适用于EHPLMN。
2、SIM卡中“具有接入技术的用户控制PLMN选择器”数据文件中的每个PLMN和无线访问技术的组合(基于优先级顺序确定的),其英文表述为:“each PLMN/access technology combination in the"User Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology"data file in the SIM(in priority order)”。
3、SIM卡中“具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器”数据文件中的每个PLMN和无线访问技术的组合(按优先级顺序确定),或者,存储在移动设备(mobile equipment,ME)中的每个PLMN和无线访问技术的组合(按优先级顺序确定),其英文表述为:“each PLMN/access technology combination in the"Operator Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology"data file in the SIM(in priority order)or stored in the ME(in priority order)”。
示例性的,表2为具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件的结构。如表2所示,该具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件的标识(Identifier)为6F61,结构(Structure)是透明的(Transparent),存在的状态为可选(Optional),SFI为11;文件大小(File size)为5n个字节(bytes),其中,n≥8,更新活跃度(Update activity)为低(low)。
类似的,如表2所示,在满足接入条件时,针对EF的接入操作同样分为读(READ)、更新(UPDATE)、去激活(DEACTIVATE)和激活(ACTIVATE),其中,读取(READ)需要检查PIN正确,更新(UPDATE)、去激活(DEACTIVATE)和激活(ACTIVATE)需要满足授权(ADM)。
示例性的,参照表2所示,具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件中对各字节的描述为:字节1至3用于描述第一个PLMN(具有最高优先级),在文件中是必选的(M),长度为3个字节,字节4至5用于描述第一个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是必选的(M),长度为2字节;依次类推,字节36至38用于描述第八个PLMN,在文件中是必选的(M),长度为3个字节,字节39至40用于描述第八个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是必选的(M),长度为2字节;字节41至43用于描述第九个PLMN,在文件中是可选的(O),长度为3个字节,字节44至45用于描述第九个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是可选的(O),长度为2字节;依次类推,字节(5n-4)至(5n-2)用于描述第N个PLMN(具有最低优先级),在文件中是可选的(O),长度为3个字节,字节(5n-1)至(5n)用于第N个PLMN接入技术的标识,在文件也是可选的(O),长度为2字节。

Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000004
由上表分析可知,每个PLMN后面会跟随一个RAT,排的越靠前优先级越高。
4、在随机顺序中具有接收的高质量信号的其他PLMN和无线接入技术组合,其英文表述为:“other PLMN/access technology combinations with received high quality signal in random order”。
5、用于降低信号质量的其他PLMN和无线接入技术组合,其英文表述为:“other PLMN/access technology combinations in order of decreasing signal quality”。
由上述分析可知,目前,终端设备在选择PLMN的顺序时,都会优先考虑PLMN的优先级,只有在通过PLMN的优先级无法确定出合适PLMN时,才会考虑PLMN的信号质量。因而,在现有技术中,终端设备通常仅基于PLMN的优先级选择最终接入的PLMN网络,即使高优先级的PLMN信号质量很差,终端设备也会选择该PLMN,这时可能存在网络不稳定、终端设备重复掉线的问题,导致用户体验差。
针对上述技术问题,本申请技术方案的发明构思过程如下:由于现有技术中终端设备在选择PLMN时,通常仅考虑PLMN的优先级,这可能存在终端设备选择到优先级较高但信号质量较差的PLMN,尤其在漫游场景下较为常见,这可能造成终端设备频繁掉线,造成用户体验差的问题,从而可能出现该PLMN所属运营商收到投诉,所以,PLMN所属运营商有对接入网络的终端设备有控制需求,例如,可以控制终端设备检测到的某些PLMN的信号质量大于或等于信号质量阈值时才允许接入等,针对该控制需要,发明人发现:如果终端设备在选择PLMN之前,同时参照PLMN的信号质量和PLMN的优先级,将质量较差的PLMN剔除掉,这样可以保证选择的PLMN为较高优先级且满足信号质量要求的PLMN,有效避免了终端设备重复掉线的问题,提高了用户体验。
基于上述技术构思过程,本申请实施例提供了一种选择网络的方法,终端设备通过获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,该第一参数包括:信号质量和优先级,根据至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,从上述至少两个PLMN中选择第一PLMN。该技术方案中,终端设备在执行PLMN选择时,同时考虑PLMN的优先级和PLMN的信号质量,能够使得最终选择的第一PLMN信号质量满足要求且具有较高的优先级,有效避免了用户接入的网络不稳定、用户重复掉线的问题,提高了用户体验。
基于上述提出的技术方案和技术构思过程,下面通过具体实施例对本申请的技术方案进行详细说明。需要说明的是,本申请的技术方案可以包括以下内容中的部分或全部,下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例中不再赘述。
图3为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例一的流程示意图。如图3所示,该选择网络的方法可以包括如下步骤:
S301、终端设备获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,该第一参数包括:信号质量和优先级。
在本申请的实施例中,由于终端设备在开机或重启或进入空闲态时,会执行PLMN的选择。具体的,终端设备首先搜索或检测所在场景中存在的PLMN,通常情况下,同一个场景中会存在多个PLMN,本申请实施例以存在至少两个PLMN进行解释说明。
示例性的,终端设备通过检测PLMN覆盖范围内是否存在网络设备发送信号来确定存在的至少两个PLMN,因而,终端设备在检测到至少两个PLMN的同时,还能够获取到至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量。
可选的,每个PLMN的信号质量通常是终端设备检测到的信号质量,即终端设备根据接收到的系统消息的信号质量而确定的。示例性的,PLMN的信号质量可以是终端设备接收到参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)的大小,也可以是其他信号的功率大小,本申请实施例并不对其进行限定。
S302、终端设备根据上述至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,从上述至少两个PLMN中选择第一PLMN。
示例性的,在第一参数包括:信号质量和优先级,且终端设备获取到上述至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量时,便可以查询终端设备中预置的PLMN列表,确定出每个PLMN的优先级,进而在已知每个PLMN的优先级的基础上,再结合每个PLMN的信号质量,从检测到的上述至少两个PLMN中最终选择一个PLMN,在本申请的实施例中,将最终选择的PLMN称为第一PLMN,本申请实施例并不对第一PLMN的具体实现进行限定。
可选的,在本申请的一种实施例中,终端设备中的具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件或者具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件等用户配置文件中可以预置有预先被写入的每个PLMN的 信号质量临界值,该信号质量临界值可以理解为允许终端设备选择的最低信号质量。
因而,当终端设备确定某个PLMN的信号质量低于该PLMN的信号质量临界值时,通常情况下,可以将其舍弃,不选择。也即,终端设备从上述至少两个PLMN中选择的第一PLMN可以满足如下条件:第一PLMN的信号质量大于或等于第一PLMN的信号质量临界值,且,第一PLMN的优先级在上述至少两个PLMN中的优先级较高。
可选的,在本申请的另一种实施例中,终端设备还可以根据每个PLMN的信号质量,按照信号质量由高到低的顺序对上述至少两个PLMN进行排序,筛选出排序在前的N个PLMN,其中,N为大于或等于1的整数,然后将N个PLMN中优先级最高的PLMN,确定为第一PLMN。也即,当终端设备检测到多个PLMN时,其可以首先根据多个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量从中选出信号质量最好的前N个PLMN,然后再按照PLMN的优先级顺序,从中选择优先级最高的PLMN作为第一PLMN。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例上述给出了确定第一PLMN的两种示例,在实际应用中,还可以能有其他的形式,其可以根据实际场景或设定选择,此处不作赘述。
本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法,终端设备通过获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,该第一参数包括:信号质量和优先级,根据至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的第一参数,即信号质量和优先级,从上述至少两个PLMN中选择第一PLMN。该技术方案中,终端设备在执行PLMN选择时,同时考虑PLMN的优先级和PLMN的信号质量,能够使得最终选择的第一PLMN信号质量满足要求且具有较高的优先级,有效提高了用户接入的网络的稳定性,避免了用户重复掉线的问题,提高了用户体验。
示例性的,在上述实施例的基础上,图4为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例二的交互示意图。该方法以网络设备和终端设备之间的信息交互进行解释说明。如图4所示,在本申请的实施例中,该选择网络的方法还可以包括如下步骤:
S401、网络设备为终端设备配置或更新至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
示例性的,在实际应用中,为了保证终端设备在后续执行PLMN选择时,能够有效避开信号质量较差的PLMN,网络设备可以事先为其服务的终端设备配置或更新至少两个PLMN的信号质量临界值,以便终端设备在执行PLMN选择时,能够同时考虑上述检测到的至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的优先级和信号质量。
可选的,在实际应用中,每个网络设备(例如,基站)大概率只属于一个PLMN,也可以多个PLMN共用一个基站,系统信息中包含的是该基站可以接入的一个或多个PLMN ID和多个PLMN中每个PLMN对应的临界值。
作为一种示例,针对给定的PLMN,例如,HPLMN,该HPLMN内的网络设备可以在生产USIM卡或SIM卡时,首先通过配置或更新USIM卡或SIM卡中用户配置文件(profile)的方式,在USIM卡或SIM卡中的用户配置文件(profile)中增加或更新每个可用PLMN的信号质量临界值。示例性的,该用户配置文件(profile)可以是具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件或者具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件,或者为其他类型与PLMN选择器有关的文件,本申请实施例对其不作限定。
作为另一种示例,网络设备(例如,UDM网元)可以在非接入层信令中的参数中增加每个PLMN的信号质量临界值,进而实现为终端设备配置或更新每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的目的。示例性的,非接入层信令中的参数可以是漫游透明容器指导(Steering of roaming transparent container)参数,即,现有技术中网络设备可以通过该Steering of roaming transparent container参数来更新USIM卡或SIM卡中的profile,本申请实施例中,也可以在该Steering of roaming transparent container参数中添加每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式为终端设备配置或更新至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
作为再一种示例,在网络设备和终端设备的通信过程中,网络设备(例如,基站)还可以在系统消息中增加所属PLMN的信号质量临界值,进而通过广播系统消息的方式实现为终端设备配置或更新每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的目的。
可理解,本申请实施例并不限定为终端设备配置PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式,其可以根据实际情况选择,此处不作赘述。
S402、网络设备将上述至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值发送给上述终端设备。
在本申请的实施例中,网络设备通过不同方式为终端设备配置或更新至少两个PLMN的信号质量临界值后,便需要通过对应的方式将其发送给终端设备。
作为一种示例,当通过在非接入层信令中增加每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式为终端设备配置或更新每个PLMN的信号质量临界值时,网络设备(可选为,UDM网元)则通过非接入层信令向终端设备发送至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
相应的,终端设备通过对接收到的非接入层信令进行解析可以获取到至少两个PLMN的信号质量临界值。在一种可能的设计中,终端设备可以将每个PLMN的信号质量临界值写入USIM卡或SIM卡中的用户配置文件中,或者更新USIM卡或SIM卡中用户配置文件内的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。在另一种可能的设计中,终端设备可以将获取到的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值存储至终端设备的存储空间中,以便后续使用。
作为另一种示例,对于上述至少两个PLMN中的每个PLMN,当通过在基站的系统消息中增加该PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式为终端设备配置或更新该PLMN的信号质量临界值时,网络设备(可选为,基站)则通过系统消息,向终端设备广播该PLMN的信号质量临界值。相应的,终端设备可以对接收到的系统消息进行解析,从而确定出对应PLMN的信号质量临界值。
可以理解的是,网络设备只能将其所属PLMN的信号质量临界值发送给终端设备,终端设备要想获取到至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值需要对接收到的至少一个系统消息进行解析来确定。
可选的,在本申请的实施例中,信号质量临界值包括如下至少一种:
PLMN对应的信号质量临界值、PLMN所使用的无线接入技术对应的信号质量临界值。
可选的,PLMN可以指不同运营商的网络,PLMN对应的信号质量临界值是指允许终端设备选择时,该PLMN的信号质量最小值;PLMN所使用的无线接入技术可以是2G、3G、4G或5G中的任何一种,因而,PLMN所使用的无线接入技术对应的信号质量临界值是指允许终端设备选择时,该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量最小值。
可理解的是,不同PLMN对应的信号质量临界值、不同PLMN所使用的相同无线接入技术对应的信号质量临界值、相同PLMN所使用的不同无线接入技术对应的信号质量临界值等可以相同,也可以不同,其根据对应运营商能够接收的最小值确定,此处不作赘述。
相应的,在本申请的实施例中,上述第一参数还可以包括:信号质量临界值,即,在上述S302之前,该选择网络的方法还可以包括如下步骤:
S403、终端设备获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
在本实施例中,当网络设备为终端设备配置并发送了每个PLMN的信号质量临界值后,该终端设备通过对接收到的信息进行解析处理,便可以得到每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
作为一种示例,信号质量临界值来自于全球用户识别卡中的用户配置文件。
可选的,在本示例的一种可能设计中,表3为本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的一种结构。参照表3可知,该表3与上述表1的区别在于,每个PLMN的后面还配置有该PLMN的信号强度,即,该PLMN的信号质量临界值。例如,第一个PLMN的后面配置有第一个PLMN的信号强度,也就是第一个PLMN的信号质量临界值,第二个PLMN的后面配置有第二个PLMN的信号强度,也就是第二个PLMN的信号质量临界值等;相应的,第n个PLMN的后面配置有第n个PLMN的信号强度,也就是第n个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
表3本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的一种结构
Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000005
Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000006
可以理解的是,在实际应用中,每个PLMN占用3字节是考虑PLMN ID的格式,是个固定字节长度,新增加的每个PLMN对应的信号强度通常占2字节,考虑到需要兼容已发布的标准,可能会使用新字段。相应的,文件的大小也可能发生变化,而且,每个字节表示的含义可能有所变化,其可以根据后续的标准进行确定,此处不作赘述。
可选的,在本示例的另一种可能设计中,表4为本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的另一种结构。参照表4可知,该表4与上述表1的区别在于,每个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面还配置有该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度,即,该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量临界值。例如,第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面配置有第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度,也就是第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量临界值,第二个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面配置有第二个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度,也就是第二个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量临界值等;相应的,第n个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面配置有第n个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度,也就是第n个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量临界值。
表4本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的另一种结构
Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000007
可以理解的是,在实际应用中,由于目前每个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识占用的字节长度不固定,因而,每个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号强度与该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的标识可以合并占用2字节长度。但是,为了兼容已发布的标准,可能会使用新的字段,相应的,文件的大小也可能发生变化,而且,每个字节表示的含义可能有所变化,其可以根据后续的标准进行确定,此处不作赘述。
可选的,在本示例的再一种可能设计中,表5为本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的再一种结构。参照表5可知,该表5与上述表1的区别在于,每个PLMN的后面配置有该PLMN的信号强度(即,该PLMN的信号质量临界值),且每个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面也配置有该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度(即,该PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号质量临界值)。例如,第一个PLMN的后面配置有第一个PLMN的信号强度,第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面配置有第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度;以此类推,第n个PLMN的后面配置有第n个PLMN的信号强度,第n个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的后面配置有第n个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术标识的信号强度。
表5本申请实施例中USIM卡内用户配置文件的再一种结构

Figure PCTCN2021082415-appb-000009
表5中的每个PLMN的信号强度和每个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术的信号强度的配置方式,与上述表3和表4中记载类似,此处不作赘述。
在本申请的实施例中,由于每个PLMN对应的无线接入技术可能会有多个,因而,在一种可能的设计中,第一个PLMN的标识和第二个PLMN的标识可能相同,第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术和第二个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术不同,在另一种可能的设计中,第一个PLMN的标识和第二个PLMN的标识不同,而第一个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术和第二个PLMN所使用的无线接入技术可能相同,本实施例中并不对其进行限定。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例以用户配置文件为具有接入技术的HPLMN选择器文件进行解释说明。在实际应用中,该用户配置文件还可以是具有接入技术的运营商控制PLMN选择器文件或其他PLMN选择器文件,在文件中配置PLMN的信号强度临界值或PLMN所使用无线接入技术的信号强度临界值的方式类似,此处不作赘述。
根据上述记载可知,在实际应用中,终端设备可以包括:接入层和非接入层。因而,终端设备的非接入层可以通过读取USIM卡中用户配置文件的方式获取每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
可选的,终端设备的接入层自下至上可以包括:物理(physical,PHY)层、媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层。终端设备的非接入层可以包括:非接入移动性管理(NAS mobile management,NAS-MM)层和非接入会话管理(NAS session management,NAS-SM)层。其中,NAS-SM用于支持终端设备和SMF之间的会话管理功能,NAS-MM用于支持终端设备和AMF之间的移动性管理功能。
进一步的,在本申请的一种实施例中,终端设备的非接入层可以将上述至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的标识和信号质量临界值发送给终端设备的接入层,以便接入层执行PLMN的选择。
作为另一种示例,每个PLMN的信号质量临界值还可以来自终端设备的存储空间。即,终端设备在执行PLMN选择过程中,当检测到至少两个PLMN和该至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量时,终端设备可以从内部的存储空间获取每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
可选的,当网络设备通过非接入层信令向终端设备发送每个PLMN的信号质量临界值时,相应的,终端设备的非接入层便可以通过非接入层信令获得每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
作为再一种示例,每个PLMN的信号质量临界值来自于网络设备的系统信息。在本实施例中,当网络设备在系统信息中配置并发送该网络设备所在PLMN的信号质量临界值时,终端设备的接入层读取接收到的系统消息时,可以获取到该网络设备所在PLMN的信号质量临界值。
相应的,在本实施例中,上述S302可以替换为如下步骤:
S404、终端设备根据上述至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量、信号质量临界值和优先级,从至少两个PLMN中确定出第一PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备在获取到至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量、信号质量临界值后,便可以结合每个PLMN的优先级,在获取到的至少两个PLMN中选择一个作为第一PLMN。
本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法,网络设备为终端设备配置或更新至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值,并将其发送给终端设备,相应的,终端设备获取到至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值后,根据每个PLMN的信号质量、信号质量临界值和优先级,从至少两个PLMN中确定出第一PLMN。该技术方案中,终端设备根据网络设备配置或更新的至少两个PLMN的信号质量临界值,再结合检测到的至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量和优先级,能够确定出既能满足信号质量要求,又具有高优先级的第一PLMN,使得终端设备接入到第一PLMN后具有较高的稳定性。
在实际应用中,由于终端设备包括的接入层和非接入层均可以参与到PLMN的选择过程,因而,下述在图5至图8所示的实施例中以终端设备中接入层和非接入层的信息交互对上述S404的具体实现进行解释说明。关于图5至图8所示的实施例中未详尽的实现原理可以参见上述图3和图4所示实施例中的记载,此处不作赘述。
在本申请实施例的一种可能设计中,图5为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例三的流程示意图。如图5所示,在本申请的实施例中,该选择网络的方法可以包括如下步骤:
S501、终端设备的接入层检测到至少两个PLMN和至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量。
S502、终端设备的接入层将至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的标识和信号质量发送给终端设备的非接入层。
S503、终端设备的非接入层获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
S504、终端设备的非接入层按照至少两个PLMN的优先级由高到低的顺序,依次将至少两个PLMN中的每个PLMN的信号质量与信号质量临界值进行对比,直到确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的第一PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备的接入层用于搜索所处场景的PLMN的标识和信号质量并传输给非接入层,非接入层获取每个PLMN的信号质量临界值和优先级,以及按照至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的优先级由高到低的顺序,将信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值且优先级最高的PLMN确定为第一PLMN。该方案中,非接入层能够选择出信号质量满足要求且高优先级的PLMN,在一定程度上保证了终端设备接入网络后的稳定性。
在本申请实施例的另一种可能设计中,图6为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例四的流程示意图。如图6所示,在本申请的实施例中,该选择网络的方法可以包括如下步骤:
S601、终端设备的接入层检测到至少两个PLMN和至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量。
S602、终端设备的接入层将至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的标识和信号质量发送给终端设备的非接入层。
S603、终端设备的非接入层获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
S604、终端设备的非接入层根据至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量和信号质量临界值,确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN。
S605、非接入层根据至少一个候选PLMN中每个候选PLMN的优先级,将至少两个候选PLMN中优先级最高的PLMN作为第一PLMN。
本申请实施例与上述图5所示实施例的区别在于,非接入层选择第一PLMN的方式不同。
具体的,在本申请的实施例中,终端设备的非接入层从接入层获取到至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的标识和信号质量后,便结合自身获取到的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值,首先在至少两个PLMN中确定信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN,然后在结合这些候选PLMN的优先级,从中选择优先级最高的PLMN作为最终选择的第一PLMN,即接入层根据每个PLMN的信号质量和信号质量临界值,将至少两个PLMN中信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值且优先级最高的PLMN作为第一PLMN。
本申请的技术方案中,终端设备的非接入层也能够选择出信号质量满足要求且高优先级的PLMN,同样可以在一定程度上保证了终端设备接入网络后的稳定性。
在本申请实施例的再一种可能设计中,图7为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例五的流程示意图。如图7所示,在本申请的实施例中,该选择网络的方法可以包括如下步骤:
S701、终端设备的接入层检测到至少两个PLMN和至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量。
S702、终端设备的非接入层获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
S703、终端设备的非接入层将至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的标识和信号质量临界值发送给接入层。
S704、终端设备的接入层根据接收到的至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量和信号质量临界值,确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN。
S705、终端设备的接入层将至少一个候选PLMN中每个候选PLMN的标识发送给非接入层。
S706、终端设备的非接入层根据至少一个候选PLMN中每个候选PLMN的优先级,将优先级最高的PLMN确定为第一PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备的非接入层将获取到的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值发送给接入层,由接入层根据每个PLMN的信号质量临界值在检测到的至少两个PLMN中确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN,随后再由非接入层根据至少一个候选PLMN的优先级,将至少一个候选PLMN中优先级最高的PLMN确定为第一PLMN。该方案中,非接入层同样能够选择出信号质量满足要求且高优先级的PLMN,在一定程度上保证了终端设备接入网络后的稳定性。
可以理解的是,在图5至图7中,非接入层获取每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式,一种设计方案可以是:非接入层通过读取USIM卡中用户配置文件的方式获取;另一种设计方案可以是:非接入层通过非接入层信令获取网络设备(UDM)发送的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值;再一种设计方案可以是非接入层从终端设备的内部存储空间读取预先存储的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。本申请实施例并不对非接入层获取每个PLMN的信号质量临界值的方式进行限定,其可以根据实际场景确定,此处不作赘述。
在本申请实施例的又一种可能设计中,图8为本申请实施例提供的选择网络的方法实施例六的流程示意图。如图8所示,在本申请的实施例中,该选择网络的方法可以包括如下步骤:
S801、终端设备的接入层检测到至少两个PLMN和至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量。
S802、终端设备的接入层获取至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
具体的,接入层通常是通过读取系统消息的方式获取基站配置的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值。
S803、终端设备的接入层根据至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量和信号质量临界值,确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN。
S804、终端设备的接入层将至少一个候选PLMN中每个候选PLMN的标识发送给非接入层。
S805、终端设备的非接入层根据至少一个候选PLMN中每个候选PLMN的优先级,将优先级最高的PLMN确定为第一PLMN。
可以理解的是,在候选PLMN的数量为1个时,终端设备的非接入层则可以直接将该候选PLMN确定为第一PLMN,而无需根据优先级进行判断。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备的接入层既可以获取到的每个PLMN的信号质量临界值,也可以获取检测到的至少两个PLMN和至少两个PLMN中每个PLMN的信号质量,这时,接入层可以根据每个PLMN的信号质量临界值在检测到的至少两个PLMN中确定出信号质量大于或等于信号质量临界值的至少一个候选PLMN,随后再发送给非接入层,由非接入层根据候选PLMN的优先级,在至少一个候选PLMN中确定出优先级最高的第一PLMN。该方案中,非接入层同样能够选择出信号质量满足要求且高优先级的PLMN,在一定程度上保证了终端设备接入网络后的稳定性。
