Detailed ways

The purpose of the embodiments of this application is to provide a network parking method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium, so that terminal equipment can quickly network in a local network and reduce network usage charges.

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, each embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that in each embodiment of the present application, many technical details are provided to enable readers to better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solution claimed in this application can also be implemented. The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present application. The various embodiments can be combined with each other and referenced with each other on the premise that there is no contradiction.

One embodiment of the present application relates to a network camping method, which is applied to a terminal device. The specific implementation flow chart of the network stationing method in this embodiment is shown in Figure 1, including:

Step 101: When it is detected that the current area is a hybrid network area, obtain the mobile country code MCC corresponding to the area and the MCC list of neighboring countries.

Step 102: Determine whether the MCC list contains an MCC equal to the MCC of the region.

Step 103: If the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the area, search the local network of the area and set up network in the local network.

In this embodiment, when it is detected that the network area where the terminal device is currently located is a hybrid network area, the MCC corresponding to the current area and the MCC list of neighboring countries are obtained, because the MCC list is used to store the MCCs of multiple neighboring countries. MCC, you can determine whether the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the current area. If the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the area, the local network of the area is searched and stationed in the local network. Since the hybrid network includes roaming networks and local networks, and the MCC list stores the MCCs of multiple neighboring countries, when there is an MCC in the MCC list of neighboring countries that is equal to the MCC of the hybrid network area, the local network can be searched directly, that is, Quickly return to the local network and stay on the local network, avoiding the higher charges incurred by using roaming networks and improving user experience.

The following is a detailed description of the implementation details of the network stationing method in this embodiment. The following content is only provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary to implement this solution.

In step 101, the country's border area will be covered by the hybrid network. Therefore, when the terminal device detects that the current area is the country's border area, that is, when it detects that the network area it is in is the hybrid network area, First, the Mobile Country Code (MCC) corresponding to the hybrid network area will be obtained. At the same time, the terminal device can also obtain the MCC list of countries adjacent to the country where the hybrid network area is located. The hybrid network includes roaming networks. and local network, the MCC list is used to store MCCs of multiple neighboring countries.

Among them, the terminal device can search for available MCCs of neighboring countries through the Internet in the setting interface, or it can pre-store the MCCs of neighboring countries in each region to directly obtain the MCCs of neighboring countries.

In one example, before obtaining the mobile country code MCC corresponding to the area and the MCC list of neighboring countries, after the terminal device is turned on, the network cycle timer (HPLMN Search Timer) will be started. After the timer expires, the network cycle timer (HPLMN Search Timer) can be started based on the current roaming The relationship between the network signal of the network and the preset signal threshold determines the network area where the current terminal device is located. Specifically, the network signal of the current roaming network is detected, and when the network signal is less than a preset signal threshold, the network area is determined to be a hybrid network area. Among them, the preset signal threshold is determined based on experience and can be -100db or -105db.

In another example, the terminal device detects the network signal of the current roaming network, and then searches for the roaming network in the hybrid network area when the network signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal threshold. If the current network signal is greater than the preset signal threshold, it means that the current network signal is good, and you can directly search for the roaming network in the hybrid network area and set up network in the roaming network to achieve the purpose of saving power.

In step 102, after obtaining the MCC corresponding to the hybrid network area and the MCC list of neighboring countries, the terminal device determines whether there is an MCC equal to the area where the terminal device is located in the obtained MCC list of neighboring countries, that is, Determine whether the MCC in the mixed network area exists in the MCC list of adjacent countries. If the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the area, step 103 is entered.

In one example, if the MCC list does not contain an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the area, the roaming network of the area of the hybrid network is searched, and the network is stationed in the roaming network to achieve the purpose of saving power.

In step 103, if the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the area, the terminal device can search for the local network of the hybrid network area and camp on the local network.

Specifically, in the hybrid network area, the terminal device is restricted by the 3GPP protocol and can only search the roaming network. If it wants to search the local network, it needs to move outside the hybrid network area and is in the MCC list of neighboring countries. When the MCC is equal to the MCC of the area, the terminal device can search the local network of the mixed area to camp on the local network, that is, quickly return to the local network.

In one example, after searching for the local network, when the terminal device is stationed on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, due to the requirements of LTE long connection, it first needs to obtain the network information of the local network, and then according to the local network The network information is stationed on the network. Among them, the network information includes but is not limited to Access Point Name (APN) information. The APN information can be obtained from the terminal device data service (DATA SERVICE) module.

In one example, after searching for the local network in the hybrid network area, if the local network is not found, the roaming network in the hybrid network area is searched, and the roaming network is deployed to save power.

In one example, because the terminal device is in a mixed network area, while the terminal device is stationed on the network, it will also receive network information reported by the roaming network, causing misjudgment of the terminal device, and then failure to station on the network. In the case of network information reported by the roaming network, the network information reported by the roaming network is ignored. By ignoring the network information reported by the roaming network, the network information of the roaming network is prevented from affecting the network operation.

In one example, the network stationing method in this embodiment can be implemented in the manner shown in Figure 2, specifically including:

Step 201: Start the network period timer (HPLMN Search Timer) and confirm that the HPLMN Search Timer times out.

Step 202: Determine whether the current network signal is greater than a preset signal threshold.

Specifically, if the network signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold, step 203 is entered. If the network signal is less than the preset signal threshold, step 207 is entered.

Step 203: Search the roaming network in the hybrid network area.

Specifically, when the network signal is greater than or equal to the preset signal threshold, the terminal device searches for the roaming network in the hybrid network area and sets up network in the roaming network.

Step 204: Check whether the roaming network in the current area can be searched.

Specifically, if the terminal device can search for the roaming network in the current area, the process proceeds to step 205; if the terminal device cannot search for the roaming network in the current area, the process proceeds to step 206.

Step 205: Set up network in the searched roaming network.

Step 206: Full Band (Full Band) network search, and station on the network that can be searched.

Step 207: Obtain the MCC corresponding to the current region and the MCC list of neighboring countries, and determine whether the MCC list contains an MCC equal to the MCC of the region.

Specifically, when the terminal device detects that the network signal is less than the preset signal threshold, it confirms that the current network area is a hybrid network area, and then obtains the MCC corresponding to the current area and the MCC list of neighboring countries to Determine whether the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the region. If the MCC list contains an MCC that is equal to the MCC of the region, go to step 208; otherwise, go to step 203.

Step 208: Search the local network in the current area.

Step 209: Determine whether the local network is found.

Specifically, if the terminal device can search the local network, proceed to step 210; otherwise, proceed to step 203.

Step 210: Set up network on the searched local network.

Specifically, if the terminal device searches for the local network, it will ignore other network signals, such as signals from the roaming network, and directly camp on the local network to avoid the network information of the roaming network from affecting the network operation.

In this embodiment, when the network area where the terminal device is currently located is a hybrid network area, by obtaining the MCC corresponding to the current area and the MCC list of neighboring countries, the MCC list can include an MCC equal to the MCC of the area. At this time, the local network of the area is searched and the network is stationed in the local network. There is no need to move outside the hybrid network area in traditional technology to search the local network, achieving the purpose of quickly returning to the local network.
