In order to better understand a cell reselection method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the network architecture involved in the embodiments of the present application. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the 5G network architecture released by the 3GPP standards group includes:

Terminal (including user equipment, UE), access network supporting 3GPP technology (including radio access network, RAN or access network, AN), user plane function (UPF) network element, access and mobility management functions (access and mobility management function, AMF) network element, session management function (session management function, SMF) network element, policy control function (policy control function, PCF) network element, application function (application function, AF), data network ( data network, DN), network slice selection function (NSSF), authentication service function (Authentication Server Function, AUSF), unified data management function (Unified Data Management, UDM).

Those skilled in the art can understand that the 5G network architecture shown in FIG. 1 does not constitute a limitation of the 5G network architecture. During specific implementation, the 5G network architecture may include more or less network elements than the one shown in the figure, or Combine certain network elements, etc. It should be understood that the AN or RAN is represented in FIG. 1 in terms of (R)AN.

The terminal can be a user equipment (UE), a handheld terminal, a notebook computer, a subscriber unit, a cellular phone, a smart phone, a wireless data card, a personal digital assistant , PDA) computer, tablet computer, wireless modem (modem), handheld device (handheld), laptop computer (laptop computer), cordless phone (cordless phone) or wireless local loop (wireless local loop, WLL) station, Machine type communication (MTC) terminals, handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices, processing devices connected to wireless modems, drones, in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, terminals in the Internet of Things, virtual reality equipment, terminal equipment in the future 5G network, terminals in the future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), etc.

An access network device is an access device that a terminal wirelessly accesses into the network architecture, and is mainly responsible for radio resource management, quality of service (QoS) management, data compression, and encryption on the air interface side. For example: base station NodeB, evolved base station eNodeB, base station in 5G mobile communication system or new generation wireless (new radio, NR) communication system, base station in future mobile communication system, etc.

The UPF network element, the AMF network element, the SMF network element, and the PCF network element are network elements of the 3GPP core network (abbreviation: core network network element). UPF network elements can be called user plane function network elements, which are mainly responsible for the transmission of user data. Other network elements can be called control plane function network elements, which are mainly responsible for authentication, authentication, registration management, session management, mobility management and policy control. etc. to ensure reliable and stable transmission of user data.

UPF network elements can be used to forward and receive terminal data. For example, the UPF network element can receive service data from the data network and transmit it to the terminal through the access network device; the UPF network element can also receive user data from the terminal through the access network device and forward it to the data network. The transmission resources allocated and scheduled by the UPF network element for the terminal are managed and controlled by the SMF network element. The bearer between the terminal and the UPF network element may include: a user plane connection between the UPF network element and the access network device, and establishing a channel between the access network device and the terminal. The user plane connection is a quality of service (quality of service, QoS) flow (flow) that can establish transmission data between the UPF network element and the access network device.

The AMF network element can be used to manage terminal access to the core network, such as: terminal location update, network registration, access control, terminal mobility management, terminal attachment and detachment, and so on. The AMF network element may also provide storage resources of the control plane for the session in the case of providing services for the session of the terminal, so as to store the session identifier, the SMF network element identifier associated with the session identifier, and the like.

The SMF network element can be used to select a user plane network element for the terminal, redirect the user plane network element for the terminal, assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the terminal, and establish a bearer between the terminal and the UPF network element (also called session), session modification, release, and QoS control.

The PCF network element is used to provide policies, such as QoS policies and slice selection policies, to the AMF network elements and the SMF network elements.

The AF network element is used to interact with the 3GPP core network element to support the routing of applications affecting data, to access the network exposure function, and to interact with the PCF network element for policy control.

The DN can provide data services for users such as IP multi-media service (IMS) networks and the Internet. There may be various application servers (application servers, AS) in the DN, providing different application services, such as operator services, Internet access or third-party services, etc. The AS can implement the function of AF.

NSSF is used for the selection of network slices, and the supported functions include: selecting the set of network slice instances serving the UE; determining the allowed network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI), and determining a single contract to sign when needed. Mapping of Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI); determine the configured NSSAI, and if needed, the mapping to the subscribed S-NSSAI; determine the AMF set that may be used to query the UE , or determine a list of candidate AMFs based on the configuration.

The AUSF is used to receive the AMF's request for authentication of the terminal, by requesting the key from the UDM, and then forwarding the issued key to the AMF for authentication processing.

UDM includes functions such as generation and storage of user subscription data, management of authentication data, and supports interaction with external third-party servers.

Each network element in FIG. 1 can be either a network element in a hardware device, a software function running on dedicated hardware, or a virtualized function instantiated on a platform (eg, a cloud platform). It should be noted that, in the network architecture shown in the above figures, the network elements included in the entire network architecture are merely illustrated. In the embodiments of the present application, the network elements included in the entire network architecture are not limited.

In the process of communication between the terminal and the network, the terminal and the network will follow the principle of the peer-to-peer protocol stack, that is, each interface has a peer-to-peer protocol function corresponding to it. The following is a brief introduction to the end-to-end protocol stack in the 5G system.

Exemplarily, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an end-to-end control plane protocol stack between a terminal and a core network. As shown in Figure 2, the control plane is used to carry the interactive signaling between the terminal and the network side. The data transfer of the control plane is realized through the Uu interface-N2 interface-N11 interface, and the signaling between different network elements adopts the peer protocol stack. way to achieve.

The access layer of the terminal includes from bottom to top: physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer, radio link control (radio link control, RLC) layer, packet data convergence protocol (packet data convergence protocol, PDCP) layer, radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) layer. The non-access layer of the terminal device includes: a non-access mobility management (NAS mobile management, NAS-MM) layer and a non-access session management (NAS session management, NAS-SM) layer. Among them, NAS-SM and NAS-MM belong to the non-access stratum (NAS layer) protocol of the N1 interface. NAS-SM supports the session management function between the terminal and the SMF network element, and NAS-MM supports the communication between the terminal and the AMF network element. Inter-connect mobility management functions, such as registration management, connection management, activation and deactivation of user plane connections, etc.

With the continuous improvement of communication requirements, wireless communication networks need to cope with various emerging application scenarios, such as Enhanced Mobile Broadbrand (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication, URLLC), Massive Internet of Things (MIoT), vehicle networking technology (Verticle to Everything, V2X), etc. In order to meet the above-mentioned new communication requirements, the 5G network introduces Network Slincing.

Network slicing is one of the key technologies of 5G, which refers to the distribution and management of network data. Its essence is to divide the existing physical network into multiple different types of virtual networks at the logical level. It is divided by indicators such as delay level, bandwidth size, reliability strength, etc., so as to cope with complex and changeable application scenarios. Network slicing can be customized for different services or manufacturers, and can also implement dedicated and isolated network resources. It can also provide better services while meeting the needs of different business scenarios.

The network slice identifier defined in the current standard may be S-NSSAI, and S-NSSAI is an end-to-end identifier, that is, a slice identifier that can be recognized by UE, base station, and core network equipment.

FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of S-NSSAI. As shown in FIG. 3, S-NSSAI includes two parts, slice/service type (Slice/Service Type, SST) and slice differentiation (Slice Difference, SD). Among them, SST is used to distinguish the scene types of network slicing applications, and it is located in the upper 8 bits of S-NSSAI. SD is a more detailed distinction between different network slices under the SST level, and it is located in the lower 24 bits of S-NSSAI. For example, when SST is V2X, different car companies are distinguished by SD.

Considering the scenario where the UE can use multiple network slices, the combination of S-NSSAI is defined as NSSAI. Until R16, NSSAI can be divided into configured NSSAI (Configured NSSAI), default configured NSSAI (Default Configured NSSAI), requested NSSAI (Request NSSAI), allowed NSSAI (Allowed NSSAI), pending NSSAI (Pending NSSAI), Rejected NSSAI (Rejected NSSAI). The S-NSSAI in the NSSAI configured by default contains only the SST with standardized value, which is a parameter that can be recognized by all operators. In addition to the NSSAI configured by default, the S-NSSAI included in other NSSAIs will contain the values defined by the applicable operators and need to be associated with the applicable Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The UE can use this NSSAI only under its associated PLMN.

The ultimate purpose of the deployment of network slices is to provide services for UEs. When the UE needs to transmit service data in the network slice, the UE needs to first register in the network slice, and after receiving the permission of the network, establish a path for transmitting service data, that is, a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session.

Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a UE registering a network slice. As shown in Figure 4, the registration request includes the following steps:

Step 1. The UE sends a registration request (Registration request) to the AMF according to the service, and the registration request includes the requested S-NSSAI.

Step 2. The AMF determines the allowed NSSAI according to the scope of UE subscription and network slice deployment.

Step 3: The AMF sends a registration response (Registration accept) to the UE, and the registration response includes the allowed NSSAI.

In addition, the AMF sends an N2 message to the base station RAN, and the N2 message also includes the allowed NSSAI. After receiving the registration response, the UE can establish a PDU session in the allowed slice in the NSSAI, and can send and receive data only after the PDU session is established.

During network deployment, the coverage of each slice may be different. When AMF decides the allowed NSSAI, it needs to ensure that all slices in the allowed NSSAI can cover the Registration area (RA) allocated by the AMF to the UE (ie registered TA list). The AMF can obtain the S-NSSAI supported by the base station and the corresponding tracking area (TA) from the base station through NG setup request or RAN configuration update signaling.

In 3GPP R17, the UE in the idle state can select a cell that can support UE services by reading the slice information supported by the base station broadcast in the system message.

The UE accesses the network based on the above-mentioned network slice registration process, and as the location of the UE changes, the UE needs to perform cell reselection. At present, the cells of the UE in the RA support the same network slice. In this way, when the UE performs cell reselection in the RA, it considers the signal quality of the surrounding cells and also considers the network slice, which will lead to a waste of UE resources and power.

Aiming at the above scenario, the present application provides a cell reselection scheme, which aims to reduce unnecessary power consumption of the UE during the cell reselection process. The inventive idea of the scheme is as follows: Considering that when the UE performs cell reselection in the RA, the cells in the RA support the same network slice, and the UE can only perform cell reselection based on the cell signal quality. It will affect the final selected cell, so it is necessary to further optimize the UE cell reselection scheme.

The cell reselection scheme provided by the present application involves at least two cell reselection methods. The first cell reselection method is to perform cell reselection based on the signal quality of the cell, and the second cell reselection method is to perform cell reselection based on the network slice and signal quality of the cell. In cell reselection, the terminal can determine which cell reselection mode to adopt by judging whether to leave the RA, and the terminal can also determine which cell reselection mode to adopt by receiving an instruction from the network side and then judging whether to leave the RA. In the above solution, the terminal considers network slices supported by surrounding cells in cell reselection only when it is about to leave or has left the RA, thereby reducing the complexity of changing cells in the RA and reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

The technical solutions shown in the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments may exist independently or may be combined with each other. For the same or similar content, for example, the explanations of terms or nouns, and the explanations of steps, etc., can be referred to each other in different embodiments, and the explanations will not be repeated.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a cell reselection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5 , the method provided in this embodiment is applied to a terminal device, and specifically includes the following steps:

Step 101: The terminal device determines a cell reselection mode.

In this embodiment, the cell reselection manners that can be used by the terminal device include a first cell reselection manner and a second cell reselection manner.

The first cell reselection method is to perform cell reselection based on the signal quality of the cell, that is, the terminal device performs cell reselection according to the signal quality of the searched cell (or surrounding cells). If the signal quality of the searched cell is greater than or equal to With a preset threshold, the terminal device selects the cell.

The second cell reselection method is to perform cell reselection based on the network slice and signal quality of the cell, that is, the terminal device not only needs to obtain the signal quality of the searched cell, but also needs to obtain the network slice supported by the searched cell. If the network slice supported by the cell is consistent with the intended slice (intended slice) of the terminal device, and the signal quality of the searched cell is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the terminal device selects the cell. Among them, the intended slice can be the allowed NSSAI, the requested NSSAI, or the network slice used by the established PDU session.

It should be noted that the cell reselection manners that can be used by the terminal device are not limited to the above two cell reselection manners, and may also be other cell reselection manners. For example, the terminal device determines the frequency band to be used, and only searches the frequency band for cells that support the desired network slice and whose signal quality is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. Alternatively, when the terminal device can search for system messages of multiple cells, the terminal device preferentially selects a cell whose TAI is in the RA. If there is no cell whose TAI is in the RA, it selects a cell that supports the desired network slice and whose signal quality is greater than or equal to Cells with preset thresholds.

In an embodiment of the present application, determining the cell reselection mode by the terminal device includes: determining the cell reselection mode by the access layer of the terminal device. Specifically, the access layer of the terminal device determines the cell reselection mode according to whether the terminal device wants to leave the registration area RA of the terminal device.

In an embodiment of the present application, determining a cell reselection mode by a terminal device includes: a non-access stratum of the terminal device determines a first result, where the first result is used to indicate whether the terminal device wants to leave the RA of the terminal device, and the The non-access layer sends the first result to the access layer of the terminal device, and the access layer of the terminal device determines the cell reselection mode according to the first result.

In the above two embodiments, whether the terminal device wants to leave the RA of the terminal device can be understood as the terminal device is leaving the current cell and searches for the system message of the adjacent cell. If the TAI in the searched system message is not in the RA, it is considered that The end device is to leave the RA.

Optionally, the access layer of the terminal device may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) layer.

Step 102: The terminal device performs cell reselection according to the determined cell reselection mode.

The cell reselection manner determined by the terminal device through the above steps includes the above-mentioned first cell reselection manner or the second cell reselection manner.

In the cell reselection method provided in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the cell reselection mode according to whether the terminal device is currently outside the terminal device registration area RA. If the terminal device is about to leave or has left the RA, the terminal device needs to perform cell reselection based on the network slice and signal quality of the cell; if the terminal device is in the RA, the terminal device only needs to perform cell reselection based on the signal quality of the cell. Through the above method, the terminal device considers network slices supported by surrounding cells in cell reselection only when it is about to leave or has left the RA, thereby reducing the complexity of changing cells in the RA and reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

On the basis of the above embodiments, how the terminal determines the cell reselection mode is described in detail below with reference to two specific embodiments.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram 1 of the interaction of a terminal device determining a cell reselection mode according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6 , the method provided by this embodiment involves the interaction between the access layer and the non-access layer in the terminal device, and specifically includes Follow the steps below:

Step 201: The non-access layer of the terminal device sends the registration area RA of the terminal device to the access layer of the terminal device.

In this embodiment, the non-access stratum of the terminal device may acquire the RA of the terminal device from the AMF network element.

Optionally, the non-access layer of the terminal device may also carry the intended slice while sending the RA of the terminal device to the access layer of the terminal device. When the access layer of the terminal device determines to use the second cell reselection mode to perform cell reselection, it needs to perform cell reselection in combination with the intended slice.

The access layer of the terminal device saves the RA and the intended slice (if received) of the terminal device for the judgment and cell reselection of the subsequent steps.

Step 202: The access layer of the terminal device determines a first result according to the TAI in the system message of the searched cell and the RA of the terminal device, where the first result is used to indicate whether the searched cell is in the RA.

The access layer of the terminal device will read the system messages of the surrounding cells each time the cell is changed, and the system messages include the Tracking Area Identity (TAI). Tracking Area (TA) is a cell-level configuration. Multiple cells can be configured with the same TA, and a cell can only belong to one TA.

Specifically, the access layer of the terminal device determines the first result by determining whether the TAI in the system message of the searched cell is within the RA of the terminal device. If the TAI is within the RA of the terminal equipment, the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is within the RA; if the TAI is outside the RA of the terminal equipment, the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is not within the RA.

Step 203: The access layer of the terminal device determines a cell reselection mode according to the first result.

Specifically, if the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is in the RA, the access layer of the terminal device determines to use the first cell reselection mode; if the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is not in the RA, the terminal device The access stratum determines to use the second cell reselection mode.

Further, the access layer of the terminal device uses the second cell reselection mode to perform cell reselection, including: the access layer of the terminal device determines whether the searched cell supports the network slice (intended slice) desired by the UE, and if the searched cell is found The cell supports the intended slice, and the signal quality of the searched cell is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, and the access layer of the terminal device selects the cell. It should be noted that, if the intended slice is not carried in the above step 201, the access layer of the terminal device needs to send a request to the non-access layer of the terminal device to obtain the intended slice.

In the cell reselection method provided in this embodiment, the access layer of the terminal device determines whether the terminal device is currently outside the terminal device registration area RA, and determines the cell reselection method. Through the above method, the terminal device considers network slices supported by surrounding cells in cell reselection only when it is about to leave or has left the RA, thereby reducing the complexity of changing cells in the RA and reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

FIG. 7 is a second schematic diagram of interaction for determining a cell reselection manner by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7 , the method provided in this embodiment involves the interaction between the access layer and the non-access layer in the terminal device, and specifically includes the following steps:

Step 301: The access layer of the terminal device sends the TAI in the system message of the searched cell to the non-access layer of the terminal device.

In this embodiment, the access layer of the terminal device will read the system messages of the surrounding cells each time the cell is changed, the system messages include TAI, and send the TAI obtained from the system messages to the non-connector of the terminal device access layer, so that the non-access layer performs step 302.

Step 302: The non-access stratum of the terminal device determines a first result according to the TAI and the registration area RA of the terminal device, where the first result is used to indicate whether the searched cell is in the RA.

Similar to step 202 in the above embodiment, the non-access stratum of the terminal device determines the first result by determining whether the TAI is within the RA of the terminal device. If the TAI is within the RA of the terminal equipment, the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is within the RA; if the TAI is outside the RA of the terminal equipment, the first result is used to indicate that the searched cell is not within the RA.

Step 303: The non-access layer of the terminal device sends the first result to the access layer of the terminal device.

Step 304: The access layer of the terminal device determines the cell reselection mode according to the first result.

Step 304 in this embodiment is the same as step 203 in the foregoing embodiment. For details, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

The difference between the cell reselection method provided in this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is that the non-access layer of the terminal device determines whether the terminal device is currently outside the terminal device registration area RA, and sends the determination result to the terminal The access layer of the device, so that the access layer determines the cell reselection mode according to the result. Through the above method, the terminal device considers network slices supported by surrounding cells in cell reselection only when it is about to leave or has left the RA, thereby reducing the complexity of changing cells in the RA and reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also provide a method for cell reselection. The method involves interaction between a terminal device and a network device. The terminal device determines a cell reselection method through information sent by the network device, and Cell reselection is performed based on the determined cell reselection manner.

FIG. 8 is an interactive schematic diagram of a cell reselection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8 , the method provided in this embodiment involves the interaction between a terminal device and a network device, where the network device may be an AMF network element, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step 401: The network device determines first information, where the first information at least includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate a cell reselection mode used by the terminal device.
