实施例一:由终端设备判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
参见图1,为本申请提供的一种选网方法的流程示意图,具体包括以下步骤:
步骤101、终端设备获取选网决策参考信息。
其中,选网决策参考信息用于判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网,又可以称之为选网决策信息、选网判定参考信息等,本申请实施例对选网决策参考信息的名称不做限定。
示例的,选网决策参考信息用于指示待传输业务的业务相关信息。或者,选网决策参考信息可以包括待传输业务的业务相关信息。其中,本申请中待传输业务可以理解为有通信需求的业务。具体的,待传输业务可以包括当前正在执行的业务、和/或未来可能执行的业务。当前正在执行的业务可以理解为当前正在执行且未完成传输的业务。
例如,待传输业务的相关信息可以包括上行最大传输时延、下行最大传输时延、待传输数据的时间信息、业务类型、网络切片信息、应用程序信息、提供数据服务的网络信息中的一项或多项。
或者,选网决策参考信息可以用于指示选网偏好。例如,选网决策参考信息可以包括以下信息中的一项或多项:用户需求信息、选网行为统计信息、选网行为预测信息、选网策略信息。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以从自身存储或设置的相关信息中获取选网决策参考信息。例如,选网决策参考信息包括用户需求信息。终端设备可以从自身存储或设置的相关信息中获取用户需求信息。示例的,终端设备可以从全球用户识别卡、移动设备或维护实体(Maintenance Entities,ME)中获取选网决策参考信息。
或者,选网决策参考信息也可以是由网络设备发送给终端设备的。即网络设备向终端设备发送选网决策参考信息。例如,选网决策参考信息包括网络切片信息,网络切片信息可以是由网络设备指示给终端设备的。再例如,选网决策参考信息用于指示选网判定结果。选 网判定结果用于表征终端设备无网络覆盖时的是否选网。
示例的,网络设备可以将选网决策参考信息携带在控制面信息中发送给终端设备。例如,控制面信息可以为非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令、接入层(Access Stratum,AS)信令等。更具体地,选网决策参考信息携带在NAS注册确认(Registration accept)消息中。更具体地,在NAS注册确认消息中携带最大传输时延时,可以携带时间单位和时间值。其中时间单位指示时间的计时单位,可以为秒、分钟、小时、卫星无覆盖时长等。时间值指示有多少个时间单位。例如,时间单位为1个卫星无覆盖时长,时间值为2,则表示最大传输时延为2个完整的卫星无覆盖时长;再例如,时间单位为十分之一个卫星无覆盖时长,时间值为2,则表示最大传输时延为十分之二个卫星无覆盖时长。NAS注册确认消息中还可以携带卫星标识(Identity,ID)和/或星历信息。卫星ID和星历信息用于辅助获取卫星无覆盖时长。一个卫星无覆盖时长可以通过卫星ID和星历信息等计算得到;星历信息包括卫星的高度,速度,角度,方向。星历信息也可以预先配置在终端设备中;或,星历信息也可以预先配置在网络设备中,并由网络设备将星历信息传输给终端设备。
再示例的,网络设备可以将选网决策参考信息携带在用户面信息中发送给终端设备。例如,用户面信息可以为在用户面中传输的信息等。再示例的,网络设备可以将选网决策参考信息携带在路由选择策略信息(UE Route Selection Policy,URSP)中发送给终端设备。
或者,选网决策参考信息的部分是终端设备从自身存储或设置的相关信息中获取的,选网决策参考信息的另一部分是网络设备发送给终端设备的。如,选网决策参考信息包括用户需求信息和下行最大传输时延。其中,用户需求信息是终端设备从自身存储或设置的相关信息中获取的,下行最大传输时延是网络设备发送给终端设备。
步骤102、终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
示例的,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无卫星网络覆盖时是否选网。又示例的,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无蜂窝网络覆盖时是否选网。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以基于下列方式触发选网判定:
方式1:终端设备检测到无网络覆盖,触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。如,终端设备检测到无网络覆盖,获取选网决策信息,然后根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。在比如,终端设备可以提前获取选网决策信息,在检测到无网络覆盖,触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
方式2:终端设备在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,则触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。如,终端设备在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,则获取选网决策信息,然后根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。在比如,终端设备可以在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖之前获取选网决策信息,在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,再根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
应理解,第一时长的单位可以为秒、无线帧、子帧、时隙、符号等,对此不做限定。以第一时长的单位为秒为例。例如,第一时长可以为2秒、4秒、6秒等。示例的,第一时长可以是通过协议预定义的,也可以是网络设备指示给终端设备,还可以是终端设备根据某一算法或策略确定的,对此不做下定。
当然,上述仅为两种触发终端设备选网判定的举例说明,并不够成对本申请实施例的限定,在本申请中还可以通过其它方式触发终端设备选网判定,对此不做限定。
进一步的,若终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网,则终端设备无网 络覆盖时选网。也就是说,若终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网,则终端设备在无网络覆盖时搜网,并重新选择网络。例如,若终端设备在判定无网络覆盖时选网,则无网络覆盖时终端设备可以先搜网,并在10秒后重新选择网络。再例如,若终端设备在判定无网络覆盖时选网,则无网络覆盖时终端设备可以在搜网后立即重新选择网络。又例如,若终端设备再判定无网络覆盖时选网,终端设备也可以在某一时间预测到经过第二时长后无网络覆盖,则终端设备在该时间进行搜网,并重新选择网络。当终端设备无网络覆盖或终端设备在网络覆盖的信号强度小于某一阈值时,向重新选择的网络发起网络接入流程
或者,若终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网,则终端设备在无网络覆盖时不选网。也就是说,若终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网,则终端设备无网络覆盖时不搜网,也不重新选择网络。例如,若终端设备在判定无网络覆盖时选网,则无网络覆盖时终端设备不搜网,也不选择网络。再例如,对于物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)设备,若其通信需求为下载非紧急数据,那么当无卫星网络覆盖时,不搜网。
本发明实施例所称选择网络可以是指搜索网络、驻留(camp)在该网络、接收该网络的广播消息和/或向该网络注册等过程。
以选网决策参考信息用于指示待传输业务的业务相关信息、且业务相关信息为最大传输时延为例。终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长大于最大传输时延,终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
再例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长小于或等于最大传输时延,终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长大于或等于最大传输时延,终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
再例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长小于最大传输时延,终端 设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
在一些实施例中,终端设备的无网络覆盖时长可以是由终端设备计算或预测确定的。具体的,终端设备的无网络覆盖时长指的是终端设备在无网络覆盖区域的时长。
以选网决策参考信息用于指示选网判定结果为例。终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若选网判定结果指示选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
再例如,若选网判定结果指示不选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
需要说明的是,在选网决策参考信息指示选网判定结果的情况下,选网决策参考信息可以为1比特信息,如0、或1。例如,若选网决策参考信息为1,指示选网。再例如,若选网决策参考信息为0,指示不选网。当然,选网决策参考也可以为至少两比特信息,本申请对此不做限定。
以选网决策参考信息用于指示选网偏好为例。终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若选网决策参考信息指示偏好选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
再例如,若选网决策参考信息指示偏好不选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。以选网决策参考信息包括用户需求信息为例。用户需求信息可以指示选网偏好。终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若用户需求信息指示偏好选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆 盖时选网。再例如,若用户需求信息指示偏好不选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
以选网决策参考信息包括选网行为统计信息为例,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若选网行为统计信息指示终端设备在同一卫星覆盖区域内最近一周内的历史行为是选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。再例如,若选网行为统计信息指示终端设备在同一卫星覆盖区域内最近一周内的历史行为是不选网,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
以选网决策参考信息包括选网行为预测信息为例,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若行为预测信息表示偏好选网的概率为0.9以及偏好不选网的概率为0.1,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
以选网决策参考信息包括选网策略信息为例,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若选网策略信息为在电池电量大于50%时选网,小于50%时不选网,则终端设备先判断电池的电量;若电池电量大于50%,则终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。
以选网决策参考信息包括业务类型为例。业务类型具有传输时延。终端设备根据选网决策参考信息,可以基于下列方式判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长大于该传输时延,终端设备判定无网络覆盖时选网。再例如,若终端设备的无网络覆盖时长小于或等于该传输时延,终端设备判定无网络覆盖时不选网。
相应地,待传输数据的时间信息、网络切片信息、应用程序信息和提供数据服务的网络信息均能够指示传输时延,选网决策参考信息包括上述信息时,终端设备根据选网决策参考信息判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网的方式与上述过程类似,此处不再赘述。
进一步地,选网决策参考信息包括多种信息时,如果多种信息指示多种传输时延,则终端设备可以选取多种传输时延的最大值,该最大值用于判定无网络覆盖时是否选网。或者,终端设备也可以选取多种传输时延的最小值,该最小值用于判定无网络覆盖时是否选网。
如果多种信息指示多种选网偏好,则终端设备可以从多种选网偏好中随机选取一种选网偏好,以用于判定无网络覆盖时是否选网。
如果多种信息指示选网偏好和传输时延,则终端设备可以使用该传输时延判定无网络覆盖时是否选网;也可以使用该选网偏好判定无网络覆盖时是否选网。
例如选网决策参考信息包括下行最大传输时延和网络切片信息,且网络切片信息所用于执行业务的传输时延与下行最大传输时延不同,那么终端设备可以选取业务的传输时延与下行最大传输时延中的最大值,并将该最大值与无网络覆盖时长进行比较确定是否选网。
实施例二:由网络设备判定无网络覆盖时是否选网。
参见图2,为本申请提供的一种选网方法的流程示意图,具体包括以下步骤:

在一些实施例中,网络设备可以通过下述方式触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网:
方式1:网络设备检测到无网络覆盖,触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。如,网络设备检测到无网络覆盖,获取选网决策信息,然后根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。在比如,网络设备可以提前获取选网决策信息,在检测到无网络覆盖,触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
方式2:网络设备在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,则触发根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。如,网络设备在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,则获取选网决策信息,然后根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。在比如,网络设备可以在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖之前获取选网决策信息,在预测到经过第一时长后该终端设备无网络覆盖,再根据选网决策参考信息,判定终端 设备无网络覆盖时是否选网。
当然,上述仅为两种触发网络设备选网判定的举例说明,并不够成对本申请实施例的限定,在本申请中还可以通过其它方式触发网络设备选网判定,对此不做限定。
