Description
本申请要求于2021年9月8日提交中国专利局、申请号为202111052206.5、申请名称为“信息处理方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信息处理方法及装置。
第五代移动通信技术(5th generation mobile communication technology,5G)网络的组网模式包括非独立组网(non standalone,NSA)、独立组网(standalone,SA)以及SA和NSA的混合组网。
支持SA的空闲(IDLE)态终端设备在进行小区重选或小区重定向时,获取的新无线(new radio,NR)频点可以是NSA频点、SA频点或SA和NSA的混合组网频点。支持SA的IDLE态终端设备在获取到NR频点后,还需判断该NR频点所属的NR小区是否支持SA。
其中,若NR小区的频点是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,则该NR小区支持SA,支持SA的IDLE态终端设备可重选或重定向到该NR小区;若NR小区的频点是NSA频点,则该NR小区不支持SA,该终端设备还需针对获取的下一个NR频点执行上述的判决操作,从而延长了支持SA的IDLE态终端设备进行小区重选或小区重定向的时长。对于支持SA的IDLE态终端设备来说,如何避免延长进行小区重选或小区重定向所需的时长是一个亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种信息处理方法及装置,对于支持独立组网(standalone,SA)的空闲(IDLE)态终端设备来说,可以避免进行小区重选或小区重定向所需的时长延长。
第一方面,本申请提供一种信息处理方法,由第一网络设备或第一网络设备中的模块执行。该方法包括:第一网络设备根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点;第一网络设备在第一小区发送携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。
其中,第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息;第一网络设备是第一小区所属的网络设备,第二小区的频点是第一频点且第二小区是新无线(new radio,NR)小区。
可见,该信息处理方法中,系统消息或重定向消息下发的第一频点是支持SA的小区的频点,这样,支持SA的空闲态终端设备基于该系统消息进行小区重选,或基于重定向消息进行小区重定向时,无需由于下发的频点可能是非独立组网(non standalone,NSA)频点而需要执行判决等操作,从而避免延长小区重选或重定向所需的时长。
另外,该方法中,第一网络设备是根据第一频点的切换信息确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,而不是NSA频点,与通过人工标记频点是否为 NSA频点以过滤掉NSA频点的方式相比,可避免增加人工运维的工作量和复杂度。并且,该方法可避免由于人工标记过滤掉NSA频点方式在配置识别上可能存在的误判风险。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括第一信令的接收次数;其中,第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值。第一信令是第一网络设备接收的,用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区的信令。可见,该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据第一信令确定接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,即第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,因此,该第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。
该实施方式中,一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是第一信令的接收次数,那么,第一网络设备在第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值时,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;第一网络设备在第一信令的接收次数小于第一阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率;其中,切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确率。
该实施方式中,一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率,那么,第一网络设备在切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值时,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;第一网络设备在切换成功率小于第二阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
该实施方式中,切换成功率可以是根据第二信令的发送次数,和第一信令的接收次数确定的;第二信令是第一网络设备发送的,用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区切换到第二小区的信令。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,其中,切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,确定第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,进而可确定第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。
该实施方式中,一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,那么,第一网络设备在接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值时,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;第一网络设备在接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数小于第三阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
在一种可选的实施方式中,第一频点的切换信息是第一网络设备在预设时间段内确定的。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可在预设时间段内统计第一频点的切换信息,这样,所统计获得的第一频点的切换信息实时性更好,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和 NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确度。
该实施方式中,第一网络设备可启动定时器,统计第一频点的切换信息;第一网络设备在定时器超时时,执行所述的根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点的步骤。可见,该实施方式中所获得的第一频点的切换信息更能反映当下该第一频点的实际情况,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确度。
第二方面,本申请提供一种信息处理方法,由终端设备或终端设备中的模块执行。该方法包括:终端设备接收来自第一网络设备的,携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息;第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点;终端设备根据第一频点的标识重选或重定向到第二小区。
第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点是基于第一频点的切换信息确定的;其中,第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息;第一网络设备是第一小区所属的网络设备,第二小区的频点是第一频点且第二小区是新无线NR小区。
可见,该信息处理方法中,系统消息或重定向消息下发的第一频点是支持SA的小区的频点,这样,支持SA的空闲态终端设备基于该系统消息进行小区重选,或基于重定向消息进行小区重定向时,无需由于下发的频点可能是NSA频点而需要执行判决等操作,从而避免延长小区重选或重定向所需的时长。
另外,该方法中,第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,而不是NSA频点,是基于第一频点的切换信息确定的,与通过人工标记频点是否为NSA频点以过滤掉NSA频点的方式相比,可避免增加人工运维的工作量和复杂度。并且,该方法可避免由于人工标记过滤掉NSA频点方式在配置识别上可能存在的误判风险。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括第一信令的接收次数;其中,第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值;第一信令是第一网络设备接收的,用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区的信令。可见,该实施方式中,可根据第一信令确定接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,即第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,因此,该第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。那么,支持SA的空闲态终端设备可重选或重定向到第二小区。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率;其中,切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值。该实施方式中,第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,可以是根据接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率确定的,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确率。
该实施方式中,切换成功率可以是根据第二信令的发送次数,和第一信令的接收次数确定的;第二信令是第一网络设备发送的,用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区切换到第二小区的信令。
在一种可选的实施方式中,接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,其中,切换成 功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。该实施方式中,可根据接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,确定第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,因此,该第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。那么,支持SA的空闲态终端设备可重选或重定向到第二小区。

下面结合本申请实施例中的附图对本申请实施例进行描述。
首先,为了更好的理解本申请实施例公开的信息处理方法,对本申请实施例适用的通信系统进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可应用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、第五代移动通信技术(5th-Generation,5G)系统,以及随着通信技术的不断发展,本申请实施例的技术方案还可用于后续演进的通信系统,如第六代移动通信技术(6th-Generation,6G)系统、第七代移动通信技术(7th-Generation,7G)系统等等。
请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的结构示意图。该通信系统可包括但不限于一个网络设备和一个终端设备。该通信系统还包括网络设备与终端设备之间用于传输数据的信道,例如光纤、电缆或大气等传输媒介。图1所示的设备数量和形态用于举例并不构成对本申请实施例的限定,实际应用中可包括两个或两个以上的网络设备,两个或两个以上的终端设备。图1所示的通信系统以一个网络设备和一个终端设备为例进行阐述。其中,图1中的网络设备以基站为例,终端设备以手机为例。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可为具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片,该网络设备包括但不限于:5G基站gNB、演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、网络设备控制器(base station controller,BSC)、网络设备收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭网络设备(例如,home evolved Node B,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission and reception point,TRP或者transmission point,TP)等,还可以为LTE系统中的网络设备(简称LTE网络设备)、NR系统中的网络设备(简称NR网络设备),甚至6G系统中使用的设备,如,LTE中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB,evolutional Node B)、NR中的基站(gNodeB或gNB)、收发点,或,传输点(TRP或TP),或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(distributed unit,DU),或微微网络设备(Picocell),或毫微微网络设备(Femtocell),或,智能驾驶场景中的路侧单元(road side unit,RSU)。其中,基站可以是:宏基站,微基站,微微基站,小站,中继站,或,气球站等。
本申请实施例中,终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、终端、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、用户代理或用户装置,可以应用于4G、5G甚至6G系统。本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是普通电话线上进行数字信号传送和接收的关节设备,还可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、前述的无线终端类型的RSU等等。
为了便于理解本申请公开的实施例,作以下两点说明。
(1)本申请公开的实施例中场景以无线通信网络中NR网络的场景为例进行说明,应当指出的是,本申请公开的实施例中的方案还可以应用于其他无线通信网络中,相应的名称也可以用其他无线通信网络中的对应功能的名称进行替代。
(2)本申请公开的实施例将围绕包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现本申请的各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是,各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等,并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外,还可以使用这些方案的组合。
其次,对本申请实施例涉及的相关概念进行简单的介绍。
1.系统消息和重定向消息
系统消息是网络设备周期性发送的消息。系统消息可用于终端设备获取接入信息、小区选择或小区重选的公共配置参数等信息。例如,系统消息可用于终端设备获知当前服务小区的相关配置信息,还可用于终端设备获取邻区小区的相关配置信息等。
系统消息可分为主信息块(master information block,MIB)和系统信息块(system information block,SIB)。每个系统消息包含了与某个功能相关的一系列参数集合。例如,LTE网络中,网络设备发送的SIB24包含与异系统小区重选相关的信息。该异系统为NR系统时,SIB24包含与小区重选相关的NR频点的信息和NR邻区信息等。又例如,NR网络中,网络 设备发送的SIB3和/或SIB4包含与小区重选相关的NR频点的信息等。
另外,系统消息是小区级别的消息,即针对某小区所属的网络设备在该小区发送的系统消息,接入该小区的所有终端设备均可接收并使用。
重定向消息是终端设备在进行小区重定向时由网络设备下发的消息,那么,终端设备可根据该重定向消息进行小区重定向。
2.非独立组网(non standalone,NSA)
在5G网络的组网模式中,NSA是一种在LTE网络的基础设施上进行NR网络部署的组网模式。NSA可实现NR网络的快速部署,适用于NR网络部署的初期阶段。并且,NSA中,LTE网络设备和NR网络设备可共存。其中,LTE网络设备管理的小区的频点为LTE频点,NR网络设备管理的小区的频点为非独立组网频点(即NSA频点)。
如图2a所示,NSA中的核心网为LTE核心网,即分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)(或EPC+)。其中,LTE网络设备与LTE核心网中的设备之间可传输控制信令和用户数据,且与支持LTE的终端设备和支持NSA的终端设备之间均可传输控制信令和用户数据。NR网络设备与LTE核心网中的设备之间可传输用户数据,且与支持NSA的终端设备之间可传输用户数据。另外,若NR网络设备与LTE核心网中的设备之间要传输控制信令,则需以LTE网络设备作为中间设备(锚点)来传输。
可见,NSA中,终端设备可直接接入或驻留到LTE网络设备管理的LTE小区,即终端设备可通过小区搜索、小区选择以及随机接入过程接入LTE小区。终端设备无法接入和驻留到NR网络设备管理的NR小区。也就是说,NR小区的频点是NSA频点时,该NR小区无法支持终端设备接入和驻留。
本申请中,LTE网络指4G网络,NR网络指5G网络。LTE网络设备指4G网络设备,NR网络设备指5G网络设备。
3.独立组网(standalone,SA)
在5G网络的组网模式中,SA是一种独立建设NR网络的组网模式,该组网模式中的网络设备为NR网络设备,核心网为NR核心网,即5G核心网(5G core,5GC)。其中,NR网络设备管理的小区的频点为独立组网频点(即SA频点)。另外,SA支持5G端到端网络切片,可实现根据不同类型的应用场景或者不同的用户需求定制多样化的服务。
如图2b所示,SA中,NR网络设备与NR核心网中的设备之间可传输控制信令和用户数据,与支持SA的终端设备之间可传输控制信令和用户数据。可见,支持SA的终端设备可直接接入或驻留到NR网络设备管理的NR小区,即支持SA的终端设备可通过小区搜索、小区选择以及随机接入过程接入NR小区。也就是说,NR小区的频点是SA频点时,该NR小区支持终端设备接入或驻留。
4.SA和NSA的混合组网
在5G网络的组网模式中,SA和NSA的混合组网中的网络设备包括LTE网络设备和NR网络设备,核心网包括LTE核心网和NR核心网。如图2c所示,SA和NSA的混合组网与NSA的不同之处在于:SA和NSA的混合组网中的NR网络设备除了可与LTE核心网中的设备传输用户数据以外,还可与NR核心网中的设备之间传输控制数据和用户数据,且与支持SA的终端设备之间可传输控制数据和用户数据。另外,SA和NSA的混合组网中,NR网络设备管理的小区的频点为独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点(即SA和NSA的混合组网频点)。
SA和NSA的混合组网中,终端设备可根据自身的能力选择接入LTE网络设备管理的LTE 小区还是NR网络设备管理的NR小区。其中,仅支持NSA的终端设备、仅支持SA的终端设备、支持SA和NSA的终端设备均可接入或驻留到NR网络设备管理的NR小区。也就是说,NR小区的频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点时,该NR小区支持终端设备接入或驻留。
支持SA的空闲(IDLE)态终端设备是指支持SA,且处于空闲态的终端设备。支持SA的空闲态终端设备可以是仅支持SA的空闲态终端设备、或是支持SA和NSA的空闲态终端设备。
支持SA的空闲态终端设备进行小区重选或小区重定向时,获取的NR频点可以是NSA频点、SA频点或SA和NSA的混合组网频点。若NR小区的频点是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,则该NR小区支持SA;若NR小区的频点是NSA频点,则该NR小区不支持SA。那么,支持SA的空闲态终端设备在获取到NR频点后,还需判断该NR频点所属的NR小区是否支持SA。
结合图3,支持SA的空闲态终端设备在搜索到NR频点后,需进行下行同步来读取MIB和SIB,以获取该NR频点所属的NR小区的相关信息。接着,终端设备根据该NR小区的相关信息判断该NR小区是否支持SA。终端设备在该NR小区支持SA时,可重选或重定向到该NR小区,再注册到NR核心网(5GC)。
若终端设备判断该NR小区不支持SA,还需针对获取的下一个NR频点再次执行上述的判决操作。可见,针对NSA频点执行的判决过程对支持SA的空闲态终端设备来说是一无效的流程,延长了该终端设备进行小区重选或小区重定向的时长。
本申请提供了一种信息处理方法,该信息处理方法中,系统消息或重定向消息下发的第一频点是支持SA的小区的频点,这样,支持SA的空闲态终端设备基于该系统消息进行小区重选,或基于重定向消息进行小区重定向时,无需由于下发的频点可能是NSA频点而需要执行判决等操作,从而避免延长小区重选或重定向所需的时长。
请参阅图4,图4是本申请实施例提供的一种信息处理方法100的流程示意图,该信息处理方法可应用于图1所示的通信系统。此时,图1中的网络设备是第一网络设备,该第一网络设备可以是LTE网络设备,还可以是NR网络设备。图1中的终端设备是接入第一小区的,且支持SA的空闲态终端设备。该信息处理方法从第一网络设备与终端设备交互的角度进行阐述。该信息处理方法100包括以下步骤:
S101、第一网络设备根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是独立组网频点,或第一频点是独立组网和非独立组网的混合组网频点。
其中,第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息;第一网络设备是第一小区所属的网络设备,第二小区的频点是第一频点且第二小区是NR小区。
可选的,接入第一小区的终端设备的数量可以是一个或多个,接入第二小区的终端设备的数量可以是一个或多个。相应的,第一频点的切换信息可包括:接入第一小区的一个或多个终端设备分别从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的一个或多个终端设备分别从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息。
示例1:如图5a所示,终端设备1和终端设备2均是接入第一小区的终端设备。图5a中以箭头所指示的方向作为终端设备切换的方向,第一频点的切换信息可包括:终端设备1从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,以及终端设备2从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的 信息。
示例2:如图5b所示,终端设备1和终端设备2均是接入第二小区的终端设备。图5b中以箭头所指示的方向作为终端设备切换的方向,第一频点的切换信息可包括:终端设备1从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息,以及终端设备2从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息。
示例3:如图5c所示,终端设备1和终端设备2是接入第一小区的终端设备,终端设备3是接入第二小区的终端设备。图5c中以箭头所指示的方向作为终端设备切换的方向,第一频点的切换信息可包括:终端设备1从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息、终端设备2从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,以及终端设备3从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息。
可选的,接入第一小区的终端设备和接入第二小区的终端设备可以相同,也可以不相同。其中,接入第一小区的终端设备和接入第二小区的终端设备相同时,说明该终端设备在不同时刻分别接入第一小区和第二小区。
该信息处理方法中,一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,即接入第一小区的终端设备成功切换出第一小区,且切换至第二小区的信息。另一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息,即接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区成功切换入第一小区的信息;又一种情况,第一频点的切换信息包括:第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息。
下面对接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息、接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息进行阐述:
实施方式1.1,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括第一信令的接收次数;其中,第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值。第一信令是第一网络设备接收的,用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区的信令。可见,该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据第一信令确定接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,即第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,因此,该第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。
可选的,图1所示的通信系统中还可包括第二网络设备,该第二网络设备可以是第二小区所属的NR网络设备。第一信令可以是第一网络设备从第二网络设备获取的。
例如,第一网络设备和第二网络设备均是NR基站,第一信令可以是第一网络设备通过Xn接口从第二网络设备接收的终端上下文释放命令(UE CONTEXT RELEASE)或切换成功命令(handover success)。或者,第一信令可以是第一网络设备从NR核心网中的接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)设备接收的终端上下文释放命令(UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND)或切换成功命令(handover success)。该NR核心网是第一网络设备和第二网络设备均接入的核心网。
又例如,第一网络设备是LTE基站,第二网络设备是NR基站,第一信令可以是第一网络设备从LTE核心网中的移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)接收的终端上下文释放命令(UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND)。该LTE核心网是第一网络设备接入的核心网,该LTE核心网中的MME在获取到来自NR核心网的,用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区成功切换到第二小区的信令后,向第一网络设备下发终端上下文释放命令。该NR核心网是第二网络设备接入的核心网。
可选的,第一网络设备多次接收的第一信令可以是用于指示同一个终端设备成功切换到第二小区的信令,也可以是分别用于指示不同终端设备成功切换到第二小区的信令。例如,第一网络设备接收到的第一信令包括第一信令1、第一信令2、第一信令3。其中,第一信令1和第一信令2分别用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备1从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,说明终端设备1在不同时刻从第一小区成功切换到第二小区。第一信令3用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备2从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,终端设备2与终端设备1为不同的终端设备。
可选的,第二小区可以是第一网络设备中配置的一个或多个邻区中的任意NR小区。或者,第二小区还可以是第一网络设备通过自动邻区发现确定的一个或多个邻区中的任意NR小区。又或者,第二小区还可以是第一网络设备基于终端设备的邻区测量信息确定的一个或多个邻区中的任意NR小区。
可选的,第一阈值可以是预定义的,或是由第一网络设备根据网络环境、信道条件等因素确定的,此处不作限制。
可选的,第一网络设备根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点之前,该方法还可包括:第一网络设备对接收的第一信令进行计数,得到第一信令的接收次数。其中,第一网络设备对接收的第一信令进行计数可包括:第一网络设备接收到一次第一信令,则对第一信令的接收次数进行加1。
实施方式1.2,接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率;其中,切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确率。
可选的,切换成功率可以是根据第二信令的发送次数,和第一信令的接收次数确定的;第二信令是第一网络设备发送的,用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区切换到第二小区的信令。
例如,第一网络设备发送了第二信令1、第二信令2和第二信令3。其中,第二信令1用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备1从第一小区切换到第二小区,第二信令2用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备2从第一小区切换到第二小区,第二信令3用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备3从第一小区切换到第二小区。另外,第一网络设备接收了第一信令1和第一信令2。其中,第一信令1用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备1从第一小区成功切换到第二小区,第一信令2用于指示接入第一小区的终端设备3从第一小区成功切换到第二小区。那么,切换成功率为2/3,即约为66.7%。
可选的,第一网络设备多次发送的第二信令可以是用于请求将同一个终端设备从第一小区切换到第二小区,也可以是分别用于请求将不同终端设备从第一小区切换到第二小区。例如,第一网络设备发送了第二信令1、第二信令2和第二信令3。其中,第二信令1和第二信令3分别用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备1从第一小区切换到第二小区,第二信令2用于请求将接入第一小区的终端设备2从第一小区切换到第二小区,终端设备1和终端设备2为不同的终端设备。
可选的,第二阈值可以是预定义的,或是由第一网络设备根据网络环境、信道条件等因素确定的,此处不作限制。
可选的,第一网络设备根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点之前,该方法还可包括:第一网络设备对发送的第二信令进行计数,得到第二信令的发送次数。其中,第一网络设备对发送的第二信令进行计数可包括:第一网络设备发送一次第二信令,则对第二信令的发送次数进行加1。
实施方式1.3,接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息包括:接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,其中,切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可根据接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,确定第二小区支持终端设备接入或驻留,进而可确定第二小区的频点(即第一频点)是SA频点,或是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。
可选的,接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,可以是第一网络设备根据接入第一小区的各终端设备的历史信息确定的。其中,接入第一小区的终端设备的历史信息可包括:终端设备接入或驻留过的一个或多个NR小区的信息。这样,第一网络设备可根据各终端设备接入或驻留过的一个或多个NR小区的信息,从中统计接入或驻留过的NR小区是第二小区的终端设备的个数,将接入或驻留过的NR小区是第二小区的终端设备的个数作为接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数。
例如,接入第一小区的各终端设备包括终端设备1和终端设备2。其中,终端设备1的历史信息包括:NR小区1的信息和NR小区2的信息,终端设备2的历史信息包括:NR小区2的信息和NR小区3的信息。那么,接入NR小区1的终端设备从NR小区1向第一小区切换成功的次数为1次,接入NR小区2的终端设备从NR小区2向第一小区切换成功的次数为2次,接入NR小区3的终端设备从NR小区3向第一小区切换成功的次数为1次。
可选的,第三阈值可以是预定义的,或是由第一网络设备根据网络环境、信道条件等因素确定的,此处不作限制。
在一种可选的实施方式中,第一频点的切换信息是第一网络设备在预设时间段内确定的。该预设时间段可以是较长的一段时间,例如,该预设时间段可以是10分钟、1小时、半天等。该实施方式中,第一网络设备可在预设时间段内统计第一频点的切换信息,这样,所统计获得的第一频点的切换信息实时性更好,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确度。可选的,该预设时间段可以是预定义的,或是由第一网络设备根据网络环境、信道条件等因素确定的,此处不作限制。
在一种可选的实施方式中,该方法还包括:第一网络设备启动定时器,统计第一频点的切换信息;第一网络设备在定时器超时时,执行根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的步骤。可见,第一网络设备在定时器计时期间统计第一频点的切换信息,可使得获得的第一频点的切换信息更能反映当下该第一频点的实际情况,有利于提高第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点的识别准确度。第一网络设备在定时器超时之后,根据第一频点的切换信息更新系统消息或重定向消息。另外,定时器在超时后,可重新开始计时,那么第一网络设备可重新执行统计第一频点的切换信息的步骤。
S102、第一网络设备在第一小区发送携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。相应的,终端设备接收携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。
可选的,该系统消息可包括:第一频点的标识(如第一频点的频点号)、多频带(band)信息列表、同步信号和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)块(synchronization signal and PBCH block,SSB)子载波间隔、SSB周期、SSB偏置、SSB测量持续时长、高优 先级重选门限、低优先级重选门限、重选优先级、重选子优先级、最低接收电平、最大允许发射功率等信息。该重定向消息可包括:第一频点的标识(如第一频点的频点号)、SSB子载波间隔、SSB周期、SSB偏置、SSB测量持续时长等信息。
另外,第一网络设备是LTE网络设备时,该系统消息可以是SIB24,该重定向消息可以是无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接释放消息(RRC Connection Release message)。第一网络设备是NR网络设备时,该系统消息可以是SIB3和/或SIB4,该重定向消息可以是RRC释放消息(RRC Release message)。
S103、终端设备根据第一频点的标识重选或重定向到第二小区。
其中,终端设备可根据系统消息中第一频点的标识重选到第二小区,或者,终端设备可根据重定向消息中第一频点的标识重定向到第二小区。
在一种可选的实施方式中,结合图6a,第一网络设备在执行步骤S101之前,该方法还可包括:第一网络设备确定第一频点的切换信息;再判断第一频点的切换信息是否满足预设条件。第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息满足预设条件时,确定第一频点是SA频点或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,然后在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点,即第一网络设备执行步骤S101至S102;那么,终端设备可根据第一频点的标识重选或重定向到第二小区。第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息不满足预设条件时,认为第一频点可能是NSA频点,则不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。该实施方式可提高第一网络设备确定是否在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点的自动化和智能化。
该实施方式中,一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是第一信令的接收次数,预设条件可以是第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值。那么,第一网络设备在第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;在第一信令的接收次数小于第一阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
另一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率,预设条件可以是该切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值。那么,第一网络设备在切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;在切换成功率小于第二阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
又一种情况,第一频点的切换信息是接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,预设条件可以是接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。那么,第一网络设备在该切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;在该切换成功的次数小于第三阈值时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
再一种情况,第一频点的切换信息包括:第一信令的接收次数和接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,预设条件可以是第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值,且接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。那么,第一网络设备在第一信令的接收次数大于或等于第一阈值,且上述的切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;否则,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
再一种情况,第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换的切换成功率和接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数,预设条件可以是该切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值,且接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值。那么,第一网络设备在切换成功率大于或等于第二阈值,且上述的切换成功的次数大于或等于第三阈值时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;否则,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,结合图6b,第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息满足预设条件时,直接在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点;第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息不满足预设条件时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。
综上所述,该信息处理方法中,第一网络设备根据第一频点的切换信息,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点;在第一小区发送携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。其中,第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息;第一网络设备是第一小区所属的网络设备,第二小区的频点是第一频点且第二小区是NR小区。终端设备可根据第一频点的标识重选或重定向到第二小区。
可见,该信息处理方法中,系统消息或重定向消息下发的第一频点是支持SA的小区的频点,这样,支持SA的空闲态终端设备基于该系统消息进行小区重选,或基于重定向消息进行小区重定向时,无需由于下发的频点可能是NSA频点而需要执行判决等操作,从而避免延长小区重选或重定向所需的时长。另外,该方法中,第一网络设备是根据第一频点的切换信息确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,而不是NSA频点,与通过人工标记频点是否为NSA频点以过滤掉NSA频点的方式相比,可避免增加人工运维的工作量和复杂度。并且,该方法可避免由于人工标记过滤掉NSA频点方式在配置识别上可能存在的误判风险。
基于图4所示的信息处理方法100,下面提供了一种示例性的信息处理方案。请参阅图7,图7是本申请实施例提供的一种示例性的信息处理方案的流程示意图。该信息处理方案包括以下步骤:
S201、第一网络设备启动定时器。
S202、第一网络设备统计第一频点的切换信息。该第一频点的切换信息包括:接入第一小区的终端设备从第一小区向第二小区切换成功的信息,和/或接入第二小区的终端设备从第二小区向第一小区切换成功的信息;第一网络设备是第一小区所属的网络设备,第二小区的频点是第一频点且第二小区是NR小区。
S203、第一网络设备判断定时器是否超时。第一网络设备在定时器未超时时,继续执行步骤S202;在定时器超时时,执行步骤S204至S206。
S204、第一网络设备判断第一频点的切换信息是否满足预设条件。第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息不满足预设条件时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。第一网络设备在第一频点的切换信息满足预设条件时,执行步骤S205至207。
S205、第一网络设备确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点。
S206、第一网络设备在第一小区发送携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。相 应的,终端设备接收携带第一频点的标识的系统消息或重定向消息。
S207、终端设备根据第一频点的标识重选或重定向到第二小区。综上所述,该信息处理方案中,第一网络设备统计第一频点的切换信息,在第一频点的切换信息满足预设条件时,确定第一频点是SA频点,或第一频点是SA和NSA的混合组网频点,并在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。第一网络设备在第一频点不满足预设条件时,不在系统消息或重定向消息中下发第一频点。可见,系统消息或重定向消息下发的第一频点是支持SA的小区的频点,这样,支持SA的空闲态终端设备基于该系统消息进行小区重选,或基于重定向消息进行小区重定向时,无需由于下发的频点可能是NSA频点而需要执行判决等操作,从而避免延长小区重选或重定向所需的时长。另外,该信息处理方案与通过人工标记频点是否为NSA频点以过滤掉NSA频点的方式相比,可避免增加人工运维的工作量和复杂度,且还可避免由于人工标记过滤掉NSA频点方式在配置识别上可能存在的误判风险。
