Only after the terminal accesses the hosting network can it use the localized service provided by the hosting network. Based on the network selection mechanism, the terminal will release all sessions on the current network, perform a deregistration operation, enter an idle state, and then re-select a network. If the terminal is executing a service at this time, the currently executing service will be interrupted, affecting service continuity.

本申请要求在2022年10月10日提交中国专利局、申请号为202211237047.0、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”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。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
本地化服务(localized service)是一种特殊的网络服务,可以由运营商或第三方服务提供商提供。本地化服务具有灵活的部署方式,便于第三方服务提供商在限定的时间和/或地点范围内部署特定的本地化服务。本地化服务由hosting network(hosting network是为终端提供本地化服务的网络,也可称为托管网络)提供连接。当终端订阅本地化服务后,可以在特定的时间和/或地点使用该本地化服务。
相关技术中,当终端满足本地化服务的条件(比如满足本地化服务的时间和/或地点要求),并且处于提供该本地化服务的hosting network覆盖范围内时,终端执行重新选网的流程,以接入该hosting network。终端在接入hosting network后,才能使用该hosting network提供的本地化服务。基于选网机制,终端会在当前网络释放所有会话,执行去注册操作,进入空闲态,然后重新进行选网,如果此时终端正在执行业务,则会导致当前正在执行的业务被中断,影响业务连续性。
因此,如何减小或避免重新选网操作对当前正在进行的业务的影响,是目前需要解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,用以减小重新选网操作对终端正在进行的业务的影响。
第一方面,提供一种通信方法,该方法可以包括以下步骤:当第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,获取所述终端当前接入的网络的接入类型以及第一网络允许的接入类型,所述第一网络为用于提供所述第一本地化服务的网络,所述终端当前接入的网络的接入类型为第一接入类型;若所述第一网络允许的接入类型与所述第一接入类型相同,则所述第一核心网设备指示所述终端从所述第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网,所述第二接入类型与所述第一接入类型不同;所述第一核心网设备确定所述终端切换到所述第二接入类型对应的接入网后,触发核心网向所述终端发送第一选网信息。
上述实现方式中,当终端满足本地化服务的条件时,如果第一网络(即提供该本地化服务的网络,也即hosting network)允许的接入类型与第一接入类型(即终端当前接入的网络(即serving network)的接入类型)相同,表明两者发生冲突,则第一核心网设备可以指示终端从第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到与第一接入类型不同的接入类型对应的接入网,并在切换完成后触发核心网向终端发送第一选网信息,这样,由于在终端基于选网信息进行网络重选之前,已经进行了接入网的切换,当终端基于选网信息选择第一网络进行网络接入时,第一网络的接入类型与终端的serving network的接入类型不同,因此终端当前执行的业务不会被中断,保证了业务的连续性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一核心网设备确定所述终端切换到所述第二接入类型对应的接入网,包括:所述第一核心网设备向所述终端发送第一指示信息,并接收所述终端发送的第二指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端在完成所述切换后向所述第一核心网设备发送所述第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端完成所述切换;或者,所述第一核心网设备根据所述终端的接入网连接信息,确定所述终端切换到所述第二接入类型对应的接入网。
上述实现方式可以保证第一核心网设备在确定终端切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网后,才触发核心网向终端发送第一选网信息,从而可以保证在切换完成后才会接收网络侧发送的选网信息,进而才根据该选取信息进行网络重选,从而可以保证终端侧业务的连续性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当所述第一核心网设备确定所述终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,所述方法还包括:所述第一核心网设备获取所述终端的业务状态;所述获取所述第一网络允许的接入类型, 包括:若所述终端的业务状态表明所述终端有业务正在进行,则所述第一核心网设备获取所述第一网络允许的接入类型。
上述实现方式中,只有在终端当前有业务正在进行的情况下,第一核心网设备才获取所述第一网络允许的接入类型,进而执行后续的操作(包括在所述第一网络允许的接入类型与所述第一接入类型相同的情况下,指示所述终端从所述第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网),否则不会执行获取所述第一网络允许的接入类型的操作,也就不会执行后续指示终端进行切换的操作。也就是说,只有终端当前有业务正在进行的情况,才有必要指示终端进行切换以保证业务连续性,针对终端当前没有业务正在进行的情况,可以不指示终端进行切换,从而可以节省网络侧和终端侧的处理开销,可以节省网络资源开销。
可选的,所述第一核心网设备获取所述终端的业务状态,包括:所述第一核心网设备向所述终端发送第一请求信息,所述第一请求信息用于请求查询所述终端的业务状态;所述第一核心网设备接收所述终端基于所述第一请求信息发送的第一响应信息,所述第一响应信息用于指示所述终端的业务状态。

上述实现方式中,当终端满足本地化服务的条件时,如果第一网络(hosting network,即提供该本地化服务的网络)允许的接入类型中包括与第一接入类型(即终端当前接入的serving network的接入类型)不同的第二接入类型,表明两者不发生冲突或者可能发生/不发生冲突,则第一核心网设备可以触发核心网向终端发送选网信息,所述选网信息用于指示第二接入类型,这样,当终端基于该选网信息选择hosting network后,根据该第二接入类型,通过第二接入类型对应的接入网接入hosting network,从而可以保证hosting network的接入类型与该终端的serving network的接入类型不同,因此终端当前执行的业务不会被中断,保证了业务的连续性。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步的详细描述。
应理解,本申请中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。在本申请的文字描述中,字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a、b和c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,或,b,或,c,或,a和b,或,a和c,或,b和c,或,a、b和c。其中a、b和c分别可以是单个,也可以是多个。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。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。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。
下面先对本申请实施例中涉及的相关技术进行说明。
(一)本地化服务和hosting network架构。
本地化服务(localized service)是一种网络服务,本地化服务由运营商或第三方服务提供商提供,当终端订阅本地化服务后,可以在指定时间和/或地点使用本地化服务。本地化服务由hosting network提供连接,终端需要接入hosting network,并且满足本地化服务的时间和/或地点的要求,才能使用本地化服务。本地化服务具有灵活的部署方式,便于第三方服务提供商在限定的时间和/或地点范围内部署特定的服务。
Hosting network即本地化服务中为终端提供服务的网络。图1示例性示出了一种hosting network的架构。hosting network是提供连接以获取本地化服务的网络。hosting network可以是非公共网(non-publicnetwork,NPN),也可以是公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN)。该网络可能仅在特定地理位置和/或特定时间内提供覆盖(可能与本地化服务相关)。本地化服务可以是由hosting network运营商提供,也可以是由第三方服务提供商提供。
当用户想要通过hosting network获取本地化服务时,需要先接入hosting network,再通过hosting  network获取本地化服务。由于本地化服务可能是在特定地理位置和/或特定时间内才可获取,或者hosting network是在特定地理位置和/或特定时间内才有覆盖,因此终端需要在特定地理位置和/或特定时间内接入hosting network,从而获取本地化服务。
(二)网络重选以及选网优先级。
网络选择分为两种情况:一种是自动选网,即终端按照可用的候选网络(比如包括PLMN和/或NPN)的优先级顺序自动选择一个网络(比如选择一个PLMN或NPN),在该网络下选择最好的小区进行注册;另一种是手动选网,即,将当前的所有候选网络呈现给用户,由用户选择一个网络,在该网络下选择最好的小区进行注册。
自动选网主要分为三个过程:网络选择、小区选择、位置登记。简言之,当终端选中一个网络后,就开始选择属于这个网络的小区。当搜索(或扫描)到属于该网络的小区后,从系统信息广播中获取邻近小区的信息,终端在所有这些小区中选择一个信号最好的小区进行驻留,然后终端发起位置登记过程。位置登记成功后,终端入网成功,即成功驻留在小区中。
在进行网络选择时,终端按照选网列表中的候选网络的优先顺序,从中选择优先级高的网络。图2示例性示出了一种网络优先级顺序。选网列表中的网络,遵循以下优先级顺序:
注册的PLMN(registered PLMN,RPLMN):指上次注册的PLMN,优先级最高;
等效PLMN(equivalent PLMN,EPLMN):是RPLMN的等效PLMN,由于终端中可能保存着RPLMN的小区信息(比如频点、扰码等),这些信息可以帮助后续小区选择的速度,所以EPLMN优先级低于RPLMN;
归属PLMN(home PLMN,HPLMN)/等效归属PLMN(equivalent home PLMN,EHPLMN):EHPLMN是HPLMN的等效PLMN,存储在终端的全球用户识别卡(universal subscriber identity module,USIM)中,EHPLMN与HPLMN优先级相同;若RPLMN是HPLMN,则EPLMN与EHPLMN相同,若RPLMN不是HPLMN,则EPLMN与EHPLMN不同;
用户控制的PLMN(User controlled PLMN,UPLMN):为用户控制的PLMN,即为终端在手工选网时注册过的PLMN,终端的USIM中存储有UPLMN信息;
运营商控制的PLMN(operator controlled PLMN,OPLMN):为运营商控制的PLMN,OPLMN的信息存储在终端的USIM中,当用户与归属运营商签署漫游协议时,运营商的PLMN的信息被存储在终端的USIM中;
拜访地PLMN(visited PLMN,VPLMN);
禁用PLMN(forbidden PLMN,FPLMN):指禁止PLMN,终端不能进行注册的PLMN。
当终端执行网络选择时,按照上述优先级顺序,从选网列表中选择合适的网络,如果选择出的网络在所在位置有覆盖,则终端接入该网络,否则,终端继续按照上述优先级顺序从选网列表中选择网络。当终端执行选网流程时,需要处于空闲态,即终端将释放当前的所有会话,结束所有业务,然后进行网络重选。
(三)协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)/非3GPP(non-3GPP,N3GPP)接入间切换的流程。
目前,切换流程可以分为PDU会话从3GPP接入切换到non-3GPP接入,或是从non-3GPP接入切换到3GPP接入两种。
如图3所示,PDU会话从non-3GPP连接切换到3GPP连接的过程可以包括:
步骤301:如果终端还未通过3GPP接入完成注册,则按照协议23502中4.2.2.2.2的流程完成注册;
步骤302:终端根据需要切换的PDU会话的会话ID,通过3GPP接入建立一个新的会话,这一部分可以参考协议23502中4.3.2.2.1的相关内容;
步骤303:如果此时用户面仍然在non-3GPP接入中激活,则按照协议23502中4.3.4.2步骤4至步骤7以及4.3.4.2步骤7a的流程来释放non-3GPP接入的资源,由于此时释放会话并不是为了释放整个PDU会话,因此在这一步骤中不会涉及任何终端侧的会话释放。
如图4所示,PDU会话从3GPP连接切换到non-3GPP连接的过程可以包括:
步骤401:如果终端还未通过non-3GPP接入完成注册,则按照协议23502中4.12.2的流程完成注册;
步骤402:终端根据需要切换的PDU会话的会话ID,通过non-3GPP接入建立一个新的会话,这 一部分可以参考协议23502中4.12.5的相关内容;
步骤403:如果此时用户面仍然在3GPP接入中激活,则按照协议23502中4.3.4.2步骤3b以及4.3.4.2步骤4至步骤7a/7b的流程来释放3GPP的资源,由于此时释放会话并不是为了释放整个PDU会话,因此在这一步骤中不会涉及任何终端侧的会话释放。
(四)漫游切换(steering of roaming,SOR)。
当终端注册至HPLMN或者VPLMN后,HPLMN向终端发送更新的选网列表,以便终端根据该选网列表进行网络重选,该过程称为SOR过程。图5示例性示出了SOR过程,该过程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤500:若HPLMN网络中的统一数据管理功能(unifieddata management,UDM)支持从SOR应用功能(SORapplication function,SOR-AF)获取选网列表(该选网列表称为首选PLMN与接入技术结合(preferred PLMN/access technology combinations)的列表),则SOR-AF可以向HPLMN UDM(即HPLMN中的UDM)发送选网列表。SOR-AF向HPLM NUDM发送更新请求(Nudm_ParameterProvision_Update request)消息,该消息中包括了更新的选网列表。
步骤501:HPLMN UDM获取更新的选网列表(可能是由SOR-AF发送,也可能是从统一数据仓库功能(unifieddata repository,UDR)获取)。HPLMN UDM向接入与移动管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)通知用户资料更新。该AMF为终端注册的网络的AMF(即如果终端注册至HPLMN,则该AMF为HPLMN中的AMF;若终端在VPLMN注册,则该AMF为VPLMN中的AMF)。HPLMN UDM向AMF发送通知请求(Nudm_SDM_Notification request)消息,该消息中包括需要向终端发送的更新的选网列表。一种可能的实现方式中,该更新的选网列表包括于SOR信息(steering of roaming information)中。
步骤502:AMF向终端(user equipment,UE,也称用户设备)发送下行非接入层(non-access-stratum,NAS)消息,该消息中包括从UDM获取的信息。即AMF将从UDM获取的信息透传至终端。若UDM向AMF发送更新的选网列表,则该下行NAS消息中包括该选网列表。若UDM向AMF发送SOR信息,该SOR信息包括更新的选网列表,则AMF向终端发送的下行NAS消息中包括该SOR信息。
步骤503:当终端接收该SOR信息(或选网列表)后,终端执行安全检查,确认该信息是由HPLMN提供的。若安全检查成功,则终端将该信息上传至USIM中,或者替换终端中存储的OPLMN选择列表,该列表称为Operator Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology列表。
步骤504:若UDM请求终端反馈一个响应消息,则终端在上行NAS消息中包括该响应消息。可选的,该响应消息包含于上行NAS消息中的SOR透传容器(SOR transparent container)。
步骤505:AMF向UDM发送SOR透传容器中包括的信息(Nudm_SDM_Info消息)。该信息是终端发送的上行NAS消息中的SOR透传容器包括的信息。其中,SOR透传容器中包括终端发送的响应消息。UDM验证该响应消息是由终端发送的。
步骤506:若该更新的选网列表是由SOR-AF提供的,则HPLMN UDM可以向SOR-AF发送消息,表示该选网列表已成功传输至终端。HPLMN UDM向SOR-AF发送Nsoraf_SoR_Info消息,其中包括成功传输的信息。
(五)临时网络重选(temporarynetworkreselection,TNR)流程。
图6示例性示出了一种TNR流程,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤600:终端已经通过AMF注册到VPLMN或HPLMN中。
步骤601:终端通过NAS消息发送TNR信息,向网络侧请求鉴权。一种可能的实现方式中,终端通过注册请求发送该信息。所述TNR信息包括:

步骤604至步骤610:按照上述图5所示的SOR流程对终端进行SOR信息更新。

终端为了获取本地化服务,需要接入hosting network。目前,当终端满足本地化服务的条件,并且处于hosting network的覆盖范围内时,终端即可执行网络重选。在这种情况下,如果终端正在执行一些业务,基于选网机制,终端将在当前网络释放所有会话,执行去注册,进入空闲态,然后重新进行选网,这就导致当前正在执行的业务将会被中断,影响业务连续性,因此如何减小或避免重新选网对当前正在进行的业务的影响,是目前需要解决的问题。
为此,本申请实施例提供了通信方法以及相关装置,用以减小重新选网操作对终端正在进行的业务的影响。
本申请实施例中,可以通过不同类型的接入网接入核心网,比如可以通过非3GPP接入网接入核心网(比如通过Wi-Fi进行接入),也可以通过3GPP接入网接入核心网(比如通过蜂窝网络,比如基站,进行接入)。基于接入网络的不同,其接入类型也不同,比如针对通过3GPP接入的情况,对应的接入类型为3GPP接入,针对通过非3GPP接入的情况,对应的接入类型为非3GPP接入。当然,根据接入网络的不同,也可能包括更多种接入类型,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
下面结合附图,对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
参见图8,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该流程中,在终端满足本地化服务的条件后,网络侧对终端动态下发hosting network的选网信息。在此过程中,网络侧获取hosting network允许的接入类型,并识别终端当前接入服务网络(serving network)的接入类型,如果hosting network允许的接入类型与终端当前接入服务网络的接入类型发生冲突,则网络侧指示终端进行接入类型的切换,即从当前的接入网络切换到另一接入网络来接入该serving network,使终端在进行网络重选时,在选择hosting network进行接入时,接入hosting network的接入类型与接入serving network的接入类型不发生冲突,进而可以保证终端的业务连续性。
可以理解,本文中的“切换”可以理解为接入网的切换,比如从一种接入类型对应的接入网切换到另一种接入类型对应的接入网。以接入类型包括3GPP接入和非3GPP接入为例,所述“切换”包括从3GPP接入对应的接入网切换到非3GPP接入对应的接入网,或者从非3GPP接入对应的接入网切换到3GPP接入对应的接入网。由于通过上述切换操作,接入类型发生了变化,因此在本申请的一些实施例中,将上述“切换”简单称为接入类型的切换,比如,上述切换可以包括3GPP接入到非3GPP接入的切换,或者非3GPP接入到3GPP接入的切换。
该流程可以应用于图7所示的系统架构,此种情况下,该流程中的第一核心网设备可以是AMF,第二核心网设备可以是UDM。该流程也可以应用于演进的系统架构或其他系统架构,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
下面结合图8对该流程进行详细描述。如图8所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
S801:第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。
所述第一本地化服务,可以是任意一种本地化服务。本申请实施例对第一本地化服务的类型不做限制。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件为该终端进入第一本地化服务的服务区域,则当第一核心网设备确定终端移动进入第一本地化服务的服务区域时,第一核心网设备确定该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。比如,终端通过移动性注册,更换了跟踪区(tracking area,TA),新的TA在第一本地化服务的服务区域之内,此时第一核心网设备确定该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,若该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件为达到服务开始时间,则当第一核心网设备确定达到该时间时,第一核心网设备确定该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,若该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件为该终端进入第一本地化服务的服务区域并且达到服务开始时间,则当第一核心网设备确定终端移动进入第一本地化服务的服务区域并且当前达到服务开始时间时,第一核心网设备确定该终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。
S803:第一核心网设备获取该终端当前接入的网络的接入类型,以及第一网络允许的接入类型。
所述终端当前接入的网络,也称该终端当前的服务网络(serving network),比如该服务网络可以是HPLMN。本实施例中,为方便描述,将终端当前接入的网络的接入类型称为第一接入类型。示例性的,第一接入类型可能是3GPP接入或非3GPP接入。
第一网络为用于提供第一本地化服务的网络。基于图1所示的hosting network架构,可以理解,第一网络是提供第一本地化服务的hosting network。
可以理解,第一网络允许的接入类型为第一网络可以使用的接入类型,或者说可以使用何种接入类型接入第一网络。第一网络允许的接入类型可能仅包括一种接入类型,也可能包括多种接入类型。可选的,针对不同终端,第一网络允许的接入类型可能相同也可能不同。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以根据该第一核心网设备存储的该终端的上下文,获取该终端当前接入的网络的接入类型。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以从第二核心网设备获取第一网络允许的接入类型。示例性的,第一核心网设备向第二核心网设备发送请求信息(为便于与下文中其它请求信息进行区分,这里称该请求信息为第二请求信息),该第二请求信息包括该终端的标识和第一网络的标识;第二核心网设备基于该第二请求信息向第一核心网设备发送第二响应信息,第二响应信息中包括第一网络允许的接入类型的指示信息。可选的,第一网络允许的接入类型是指针对该终端而言的。
可选的,第一网络允许的接入类型的指示信息,可以是接入类型的标识(不同接入类型可以使用不同的标识进行区分),也可以是一个编码值,用于指示一个或多个接入类型。比如,在接入类型的总数量为两个的情况下,该编码值可以是3比特的信息,当该编码值等于0时,表示3GPP接入,当该编码值等于1时,表示非3GPP接入,当该编码值等于2时,表示3GPP接入和非3GPP接入。本申请实施例对此不作限制。
可选的,第二请求信息中还可以包括指示信息(为便于与下文中其它指示信息进行区分,这里称该指示信息为第四指示信息),第四指示信息用于指示第二核心网设备向第一核心网设备返回第一网络允许的接入类型,第二核心网设备可以根据该第四指示信息查询第一网络允许的接入类型,并将查询结果返回给第一核心网设备。
S804:若第一核心网设备确定第一网络允许的接入类型与第一接入类型相同,则指示该终端根据第二接入类型从所述第一接入类型对应的接入网(即当前的接入网)切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网,所述第二接入类型与所述第一接入类型不同。
第一网络允许的接入类型与第一接入类型相同的情况,包括:第一网络允许的接入类型为一个,且该接入类型与第一接入类型相同。例如,第一网络允许的接入类型为3GPP接入,第一接入类型也为3GPP接入,或者,第一网络允许的接入类型为非3GPP接入,第一接入类型也为非3GPP接入。
若第一网络允许的接入类型与第一接入类型相同,则表明第一网络允许的接入类型与终端当前接入的网络的接入类型发生冲突,这种情况下,当终端进行网络重选时有可能导致终端正在进行的业务被中断。为了保证终端的业务连续性,第一核心网设备指示该终端从当前接入网络切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网络,所述第二接入类型与所述第一接入类型不同,从而使得终端从第一接入类型对应的接入网络(即当前的接入网)切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网络,即通过第二接入类型对应的接入网络接入上述serving network。示例性的,若第一接入类型为3GPP,则第一核心网设备指示终端切换到非3GPP接入网络,如果第一接入类型为非3GPP接入网络,则第一核心网设备指示终端切换到3GPP接入网络。一种可能的实现方式中,终端从非3GPP接入切换到3GPP接入的流程可以参考图3所示的流程,由于该过程不涉及终端侧的PDU会话释放,因此可以保证终端当前正在进行的业务的连续性。一种可能的实现方式中,终端从3GPP接入切换到非3GPP接入的流程可以参考图4所示的流程,由于该过程不涉及终端侧的PDU会话释放,因此可以保证终端当前正在进行的业务的连续性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以向该终端发送通知,该通知用于指示终端从当前第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网。可选的,该通知中还可以包括第二接入类型的指示信息。
S805:第一核心网设备确定该终端切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网后,触发核心网向该终端发送第一选网信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一选网信息中包括第一网络的信息,比如第一网络的标识,使得终端可以根据第一选网信息选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以适应第一网络提供的本地化服务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一选网信息还用于指示推荐给该终端进行网络重选的至少一个网络以及所述至少一个网络的优先级,所述至少一个网络中包括第一网络,第一网络的优先级最高,使得终端可以根据第一选网信息,优先选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以使用第一网络提供的本地化服务。可选的,所述第一选网信息为选网列表,该选网列表中包括推荐给该终端进行网络重选的一个或多个网络,其中包括优先级最高的第一网络。可选的,该选网列表中,除了第一网络以外,其它网络的优先级顺序,可以按照图2所示的优先级顺序设置。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以根据该终端的接入网络连接信息,确定该终端是否切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网,即确定该终端是否完成接入网的切换。第一核心网设备可以用于移动性管理和接入管理,因此在终端进行接入网切换的过程中,第一核心网设备可以获取到该终端的接入网连接信息(比如通过新的接入网进行会话建立的信息,对原有接入网的接入资源进行释放的信息等),因此可以根据这些信息判断终端是否完成接入网的切换。举例来说,在终端从非3GPP接入切换到3GPP接入的过程中,第一核心网设备(比如AMF)可以获取到终端通过3GPP接入建立的新会话的相关信息,还可以获取到终端释放非3GPP接入的资源的相关信息,从而可以根据这些信息确定终端是否完成从非3GPP接入到3GPP接入的切换过程。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以通过以下方式确定终端是否完成切换:第一核心网设备向终端发送第一指示信息,并接收该终端发送的第二指示信息。所述第一指示信息用于指示终端在完成上述切换后向第一核心网设备发送第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示终端已经完成了上述切换。
可选的,第一核心网设备可以将第一指示信息包含在用于指示终端进行接入网切换的消息中发送给终端,也可以使用单独的消息发送所述第一指示信息,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以通过以下方式触发核心网向该终端发送第一选网信息:第一核心网设备在确定终端切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网后,第一核心网设备向第二核心网设备发送通知,以触发第二核心网设备开启SOR流程,从而可以从第二核心网设备获取第一选网信息。第一核心网设备获取到第一选网信息后,将其发送给该终端。一种可能的实现方式中,SOR流程的具体实现方式可以参考图5或图6所示的流程。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,还可以执行以下步骤:S802:第一核心网设备获取该终端的业务状态。在S803中,若第一核心网根据该终端的业务状态确定该终端有业务正在进行,则获取第一网络允许的接入类型。
所述终端的业务状态,可以包括第一状态和第二状态,第一状态表明终端当前有业务正在进行,第二状态表明终端当前没有业务正在进行。当然,还可以根据终端正在进行的业务的类型,进一步对第一状态进行划分,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以通过以下方式获取终端的业务状态:第一核心网设备向终端发送第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于请求查询终端的业务状态;终端基于该第一请求信息发送第一响应信息,该第一响应信息用于指示该终端的业务状态。可选的,第一响应信息中可以包括第三指示信息,该第三指示信息用于指示终端的业务状态。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若第一核心网设备获取到该终端的业务状态后,根据该终端的业务状态确定该终端当前没有业务正在进行,则第一核心网设备跳过S803(即不执行S803),而是直接触发核心网设备向该终端发送第一选网信息。也就是说,只有在终端当前有业务正在进行的情况下,第一核心网设备才会指示该终端切换接入网,以保证当前正在进行的业务的连续性,在终端当前没有业务正在进行的情况下,无需指示终端进行接入网的切换,从而可以节省终端侧和网络侧的开销,并可以节省信令开销。
图8所示流程中,各步骤的时序关系仅为一种示例,本申请实施例对各步骤间的时序关系不做限制。比如,第一核心网设备获取终端当前接入的网络的接入类型的步骤,也可以在S801之前。
基于图8所示的流程,当终端满足本地化服务的条件时,如果第一网络(即提供该本地化服务的网络,也即hosting network)允许的接入类型与第一接入类型(即终端当前接入的serving network的接入类型)相同,表明两者发生冲突,则第一核心网设备可以指示终端从第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到与第一接入类型不同的接入类型对应的接入网,并在切换完成后触发核心网向终端发送第一选网信息,这样,由于在终端基于选网信息进行网络重选之前,已经进行了接入类型的切换,当终端基于选网信息选择hosting network进行网络接入时,hosting network的接入类型与终端的serving network的接入类型不同,因此终端当前执行的业务不会被中断,保证了业务的连续性。
图8所示流程的一个示例,可以如图9所示。图9中各步骤的具体实现方式可以参考图8所示流程中的相关内容。如图9所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤901:AMF确定UE满足第一本地化服务的条件。
步骤902:当UE满足第一本地化服务的条件时,AMF向UE发送第一请求信息,用于向UE发起询问,以请求获取UE的业务状态,以便确定UE当前是否有业务正在执行。
一种可能的实现方式中,AMF向UE发送NAS消息,其中包含所述第一请求信息。
步骤903:UE向AMF发送第一响应信息,用于反馈UE的业务状态,以便AMF确定该UE当前是否有业务正在进行。
一种可能的实现方式,UE向AMF发送NAS消息,其中包含所述第一响应信息。可选的,第一响应信息中包括UE的业务状态的指示信息,用于指示UE当前是否有业务正在进行。
步骤904:若UE当前有业务正在进行,则AMF向UDM请求UE想要接入的hosting network(即提供第一本地化服务的网络)允许使用的接入类型。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF向UDM发送Nudm_SDM_Get request消息,该消息中包含UE的标识、hosting network的标识,进一步的还包含用于指示UDM返回允许该UE使用的该hosting network的接入类型的指示信息(即图8所示流程中的第四指示信息)。
步骤905:UDM向AMF反馈hosting network允许的接入类型。
一种可能的实现方式,UDM向AMF发送Nudm_SDM_Get response消息,该消息包括hosting network的标识、UE的标识以及hosting network允许的接入类型的指示信息。
步骤906:AMF对hosting network允许的接入类型和UE当前接入serving network的接入类型(称为第一接入类型)进行比较,确定两者是否产生冲突,若产生冲突,则指示UE切换接入类型,即切换到另一接入网,该接入网对应的接入类型与第一接入类型不同。
例如,若第一接入类型为3GPP接入,hosting network允许的接入类型也是3GPP接入,则AMF指示UE将当前的第一接入类型(3GPP接入)切换为非3GPP接入。若第一接入类型为非3GPP接入,hosting network允许的接入类型也是非3GPP接入,则AMF指示UE将当前的第一接入类型(非3GPP接入)切换为3GPP接入。
一种可能的实现方式中,AMF向UE发送NAS消息,此消息中包含用于指示UE进行接入网切换的指示信息。
步骤907:UE执行接入类型切换过程。
步骤908:AMF通知UDM,触发UDM开启SOR流程。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF向UDM发送Namf_EventExposure_Notify消息,其中包含UE标识、hosting network的标识以及用于指示UDM触发SOR流程的指示信息。
步骤909:UDM向SOR-AF请求SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,UDM向SOR-AF发送Nsoraf_SoR_Getrequest消息,该消息用于请求SOR-AF下发SOR信息。
步骤910:SOR-AF向UDM返回SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,SOR-AF向UDM发送Nsoraf_SoR_Getresponse消息,该消息用于响应UDM的请求,向UDM发送SOR信息。
步骤911:UDM将SOR信息发送给AMF。
一种可能的实现方式中,UDM向AMF发送Nudm_SDM_Notification消息,该消息包含第一选网信息。可选的,第一选网信息可以包括一个选网列表,当UE使用该选网列表进行网络选择时,可以选择hosting network进行接入。
步骤912:AMF将SOR消息发送给UE。
一种可能的实现方式中,AMF通过NAS消息将SOR信息发送给UE。
步骤913:UE接收SOR信息后,根据AMF发送的SOR信息,基于选网列表进行网络重选,从而接入hosting network。
基于图9所示的流程,在网络侧动态下发选网信息时,考虑UE当前是否正在执行业务,以及hosting network允许的接入类型,若hosting network的接入类型与serving network冲突,则针对serving network切换接入类型,使hosting network可以使用不同的接入类型接入网络,从而不会对当前业务产生影响。
参见图10,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图。该流程中,在终端满足本地化服务的条件后,网络侧对终端动态下发hosting network的选网信息。在此过程中,网络侧获取hosting network允许的接入类型,并识别终端当前接入服务网络(serving network)的接入类型,如果hosting network允许的接入类型与终端当前接入服务网络的接入类型不发生冲突或者可能发生/不发生冲突,则指示终端使用与当前接入serving network的接入类型不同的接入类型来接入hosting network,从而使终端在进行网络重选时,在选择hosting network进行接入时,接入hosting network的接入类型与接入serving network的接入类型不发生冲突,进而可以保证终端的业务连续性。
该流程可以应用于图7所示的系统架构,此种情况下,该流程中的第一核心网设备可以是AMF,第二核心网设备可以是UDM。该流程也可以应用于演进的系统架构或其他系统架构,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
下面结合图10对该流程进行详细描述。如图10所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
S1001:第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件。
该步骤的具体实现方式,可以参考图8所示流程中的相关内容。
S1003:第一核心网设备获取该终端当前接入的网络的接入类型,以及第一网络允许的接入类型。
该步骤的具体实现方式,可以参考图8所示流程中的相关内容。
S1005:若第一网络允许的接入类型中包括第二接入类型,则第一核心网设备触发核心网向该终端发送第二选网信息,所述第二选网信息用于指示所述第二接入类型。所述第一接入类型和所述第二接入类型不同。
可以理解,所述第二选网信息指示的第二接入类型,是应用于第一网络的,即,终端根据第二选网信息,通过与第二接入类型对应的接入网来接入第一网络。
在一种可能的场景中,第一网络允许的接入类型仅为一个,且与第一接入类型不同,即第一网络允许的接入类型为上述第二接入类型。这种情况表明第一网络允许的接入类型与终端当前接入服务网络的接入类型不发生冲突。例如,第一网络允许的接入类型为3GPP接入,第一接入类型为非3GPP接入;又例如,第一网络允许的接入类型为非3GPP接入,第一接入类型为3GPP接入。
在另一种可能的场景中,第一网络允许的接入类型为多个,其中包括一个与第一接入类型不同的第二接入类型。这种情况表明第一网络允许的接入类型与终端当前接入服务网络的接入类型有可能发生冲突,或者说有可能不发生冲突。例如,第一网络允许的接入类型包括3GPP接入和非3GPP接入,第一接入类型为非3GPP接入。
针对上述各种场景,本申请实施例中,第一核心网设备发送给终端的第二选网信息指示与第一接入类型不同的第二接入类型,可以使得终端接入第一网络的接入类型与接入serving network的接入类型不发生冲突,进而可以保证终端的业务连续性。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二选网信息中包括第一网络的信息,比如第一网络的标识,使得终端可以根据第二选网信息选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以适应第一网络提供的本地化服务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二选网信息还用于指示推荐给该终端进行网络重选的至少一个网络以及所述至少一个网络的优先级,所述至少一个网络中包括第一网络,第一网络的优先级最高,使得终端可以根据第二选网信息,优先选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以使用第一网络提供的本地化服务。可选的,该至少一个网络中,除了第一网络以外,其它网络的优先级顺序,可以按照图2所示的优先级顺序设置。
可选的,所述第二选网信息为选网列表,该选网列表中包括推荐给该终端进行网络重选的至少一个网络以及所述至少一个网络的优先级,该至少一个网络中包括优先级最高的第一网络,以及用于指示第 一网络的接入类型的信息。本实施例中,该信息用于指示第二接入类型,即该信息用于指示第一网络的接入类型为第二接入类型。示例性的,该选网列表的一个示例如表1所示。
表1:选网列表的示例:
其中,优先级ID从高到低的顺序为:1,2,3……。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一核心网设备可以通过以下方式触发核心网向该终端发送第二选网信息:第一核心网设备向第二核心网设备发送该终端的标识、第一网络的标识、第二接入类型的指示信息;第二核心网设备根据该终端的标识、第一网络的标识获取该终端对应的选网列表,比如,将该终端的标识和第一网络的标识发送给SOR-AF,并从SOR-AF接收对应的选网列表,该选网列表中包括第一网络的标识,并且第一网络的优先级最高;第二核心网设备根据该选网列表以及第二接入类型的指示信息生成第二选网信息,比如第二核心网设备可以将第二接入类型的指示信息添加到该选网列表中,得到第二选网信息,第二选网信息的一个示例可参见表1;第二核心网设备将第二选网信息发送给第一核心网设备;第一核心网设备将第二选网信息发送给终端。
可选的,第一核心网设备还将第五指示信息发送给第二核心网设备,所述第五指示信息用于指示第二核心网设备根据第二接入类型的指示信息以及该终端对应的选网列表生成第二选网信息,比如指示第二核心网设备将第二接入类型的指示信息添加到该终端的选网列表中。
第一核心网设备向第二核心网设备发送通知,以触发第二核心网设备开启SOR流程,从而可以从第二核心网设备获取第二选网信息。第一核心网设备获取到第二选网信息后,将其发送给该终端。一种可能的实现方式中,SOR流程的具体实现方式可以参考图5或图6所示的流程。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,还可以执行以下步骤:S1002:第一核心网设备获取该终端的业务状态。在S1003中,若第一核心网根据该终端的业务状态确定该终端有业务正在进行,则获取第一网络允许的接入类型。可选的,第一核心网设备获取终端的业务状态的实现方式,可以参考图8所示流程中的相关内容。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若第一核心网设备获取到该终端的业务状态后,根据该终端的业务状态确定该终端当前没有业务正在进行,则第一核心网设备触发核心网设备向该终端发送第三选网信息。所述第三选网信息包括第一网络的信息,比如第一网络的标识,使得终端可以根据第二选网信息选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以适应第一网络提供的本地化服务。
可选的,所述第三选网信息还用于指示推荐给该终端进行网络重选的至少一个网络以及所述至少一个网络的优先级,所述至少一个网络中包括第一网络,第一网络的优先级最高,使得终端可以根据第二选网信息,优先选择第一网络(即第一本地化服务的hosting networ)进行接入,从而可以使用第一网络提供的本地化服务。可选的,该至少一个网络中,除了第一网络以外,其它网络的优先级顺序,可以按照图2所示的优先级顺序设置。
图10所示流程中,各步骤的时序关系仅为一种示例,本申请实施例对各步骤间的时序关系不做限制。比如,第一核心网设备获取终端当前接入的网络的接入类型的步骤,也可以在S1001之前。
基于图10所示的流程,当终端满足本地化服务的条件时,如果第一网络(hosting network,即提供该本地化服务的网络)允许的接入类型中包括与第一接入类型(即终端当前接入的serving network的接入类型)不同的第二接入类型,表明两者不发生冲突或者可能发生/不发生冲突,则第一核心网设备可以触发核心网向所述终端发送选网信息,所述选网信息用于指示第二接入类型,这样,当终端基于该选网信息选择hosting network后,根据该第二接入类型,通过第二接入类型对应的接入网接入hosting network,从而可以保证hosting network的接入类型与该终端的serving network的接入类型不同,因此终端当前执行的业务不会被中断,保证了业务的连续性。
图10所示流程的一个示例,可以如图11所示。图11中各步骤的具体实现方式可以参考图10所示流程中的相关内容。如图11所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1101:AMF确定UE满足第一本地化服务的条件。
步骤1102:当UE满足第一本地化服务的条件时,AMF向UE发送第一请求信息,用于向UE发起询问,以请求获取UE的业务状态,以便确定UE当前是否有业务正在执行。
一种可能的实现方式中,AMF向UE发送NAS消息,其中包含所述第一请求信息。
步骤1103:UE向AMF发送第一响应信息,用于反馈UE的业务状态,以便AMF确定该UE当前是否有业务正在进行。
一种可能的实现方式,UE向AMF发送NAS消息,其中包含所述第一响应信息。可选的,第一响应信息中包括UE的业务状态的指示信息,用于指示UE当前是否有业务正在进行。
步骤1104:若UE当前有业务正在进行,则AMF向UDM请求UE想要接入的hosting network(即提供第一本地化服务的网络)允许使用的接入类型。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF向UDM发送Nudm_SDM_Get request消息,该消息中包含UE的标识、hosting network的标识,进一步的还包含用于指示UDM返回允许该UE使用的该hosting network的接入类型的指示信息。
步骤1105:UDM向AMF反馈hosting network允许的接入类型。
一种可能的实现方式,UDM向AMF发送Nudm_SDM_Get response消息,该消息包括hosting network的标识、UE的标识以及hosting network允许的接入类型的指示信息。
步骤1106:AMF对hosting network允许的接入类型和UE当前接入servingnetwork的接入类型(称为第一接入类型)进行比较,确定两者是否产生冲突,若不产生冲突,则AMF通知UDM开启SOR流程。
例如,若第一接入类型为3GPP接入,hosting network允许的接入类型是非3GPP接入,则两者不产生冲突,AMF通知UDM开启SOR流程。若第一接入类型为非3GPP接入,hosting network允许的接入类型是3GPP接入,则两者不产生冲突,AMF通知UDM开启SOR流程。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF向UDM发送Namf_EventExposure_Notify消息,其中包含UE标识、hosting network的标识,还可以包含第二接入类型的指示信息(第二接入类型与上述第一接入类型不同),进一步的,还可以包含用于指示UDM触发SOR流程的指示信息。
步骤1107:UDM向SOR-AF请求SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,UDM向SOR-AF发送Nsoraf_SoR_Getrequest消息,该消息用于请求SOR-AF下发SOR信息。
步骤1108:SOR-AF向UDM返回SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,SOR-AF向UDM发送Nsoraf_SoR_Getresponse消息,该消息用于响应UDM的请求,向UDM发送SOR信息。
步骤1109:UDM将SOR信息发送给AMF。
一种可能的实现方式中,UDM向AMF发送Nudm_SDM_Notification消息,该消息包含第二选网信息。可选的,第二选网信息可以包括一个选网列表,该选网列表中包括第二接入类型的指示信息,当UE使用该选网列表进行网络选择时,可以选择hosting network并根据第二接入类型进行网络接入。
步骤1110:AMF将SOR消息发送给UE。
一种可能的实现方式中,AMF通过NAS消息将SOR信息发送给UE。
步骤1111:UE接收SOR信息后,根据AMF发送的SOR信息,基于选网列表进行网络重选,从而选择hosting network并根据第二接入类型进行网络接入。
基于图11所示的流程,在网络侧动态下发选网信息时,考虑UE当前是否正在执行业务,以及hosting network允许的接入类型,当hosting network可以采用与当前serving network不同的接入类型接入网络时,则不会对当前业务产生影响。
在一种可能的实现方式中,图8所示的流程以及图10所示的流程可以结合使用。换言之,当第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,若确定第一网络允许的接入类型与所述第一接入类型相同,则参照图8所示的流程执行相关步骤;若第一网络允许的接入类型中包括第二接入类型,则参照图10所示的流程执行相关步骤。
本申请另外的一些实施例还提供了一种通信方法,该方法中,针对选网信息动态下发的情况,通过增强选网信息的下发条件,以避免终端当前正在进行的业务被中断。比如,当第一核心网设备确定终端 满足本地化服务的条件且当前没有业务正在执行时,才触发核心网向终端下发选网信息,使得终端可以选择hosting network进行网络接入。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一核心网设备确定终端满足第一本地化服务的条件时,指示终端不存在正在进行的业务时通知第一核心网设备;第一核心网设备接收到该终端发送的用于通知该终端不存在正在进行的业务的指示信息后,触发核心网向该终端发送选网信息。
可选的,所述选网信息包括第一网络的信息,所述第一网络为提供所述第一本地化服务的网络。
可选的,所述选网信息用于指示推荐给终端进行网络重选的至少一个网络以及所述至少一个网络的优先级,所述至少一个网络中包括第一网络(即提供所述第一本地化服务的网络),所述第一网络的优先级最高。
该流程可以应用于图7所示的系统架构,此种情况下,该流程中的第一核心网设备可以是AMF,第二核心网设备可以是UDM。该流程也可以应用于演进的系统架构或其他系统架构,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
图12示例性的示出了上述流程的一种可能的实现方法。该流程中,在终端满足本地化服务的条件后,网络侧对终端动态下发hosting network的选网信息。在此过程中,网络侧在确定终端没有业务进行时,才触发核心网向该终端发送选网信息。
如图12所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1201:AMF确定UE满足本地化服务的条件。
第一核心网设备确定UE是否满足本地化服务的条件的具体实现方式,可以参考图8所示流程中的相关内容。
步骤1202:当UE满足本地化服务的条件时,AMF向UE发送指示信息,该信息指示用于指示UE在当前业务全部结束后向AMF进行反馈。
该步骤中,若UE当前有业务正在进行,则UE可以等待正在进行的业务全部结束后,向AMF进行反馈;若UE当前没有业务正在进行,则可以在收到指示信息后立即向AMF进行反馈。
一种可能的实现方式中,该指示信息可以是通过下行NAS消息发送给UE,例如UE通过移动性注册触发该流程时,AMF可以在注册接受消息中包含该指示信息。
步骤1203:UE根据接收到的指示信息,当结束当前的所有业务后,向AMF进行反馈,用以通知AMF该UE当前没有业务正在进行。
一种可能的实现方式,UE可以通过NAS消息向AMF反馈该信息。
步骤1204:AMF向UDM发送通知,指示当前UE已经满足重新选网的条件,触发UDM开启SOR流程。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF向UDM发送Namf_EventExposure_Notify消息,其中包含UE当前满足本地化服务的信息、本地化服务的标识以及hosting network的标识(该hosting network即为提供该本地化服务的网络)。
步骤1205:UDM向SOR-AF请求SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式,UDM向SOR-AF发送Nsoraf_SoR_Get request消息,该消息用于请求SOR-AF下发SOR信息。
步骤1206:SOR-AF向UDM返回SOR信息。
一种可能的实现方式,SOR-AF向UDM发送Nsoraf_SoR_Get response消息,该消息用于响应UDM的请求,向UDM发送SOR信息。
步骤1207:UDM将SOR信息下发给AMF。
一种可能的实现方式,UDM向AMF发送Nudm_SDM_Notification消息,该消息包含选网列表,该选网列表中包括hosting network的标识,且该hosting network的优先级最高,当UE根据该选网列表进行选网时,可以选择hosting network进行接入。
步骤1208:AMF将SOR消息下发给UE。
一种可能的实现方式,AMF通过NAS消息将SOR信息发送给UE,其中包含上述选网列表。
步骤1209:UE接收SOR信息后,根据AMF下发的SOR消息,根据该选网列表进行网络重选,从而接入hosting network。
上述流程中,在网络侧动态下发选网信息的条件上进行了强化,在原有的需要满足本地化服务对应 的条件之外,增加了需要UE当前没有业务正在执行的条件。当UE满足本地化服务对应的条件后,网络侧不会立即发送hosting network的选网信息,而是会等待UE当前的所有业务都结束后再下发选网信息。通过额外的条件限制了UE在有业务执行时不重新选网,从而避免了对UE当前业务的影响。
本申请的一些实施例还提供了一种通信方法,该方法中,针对选网信息预配置到终端上的情况,可以由终端自身判断当前是否有业务正在进行,若有业务正在进行,则终端通过与用户交互,获得用户的选择,根据用户的选择确定是否开启网络重选。若用户选择开启网络重选,则终端在等待正在使用的业务全部结束后才开启网络重选,从而根据预配置的选网列表重新进行选网。
可选的,在终端上预配置的选网信息,可以包括但不限于本地化服务的标识、本地化服务的条件和用于选择hosting network的选网列表。可选的,本地化服务的条件可以是基于本地化服务要求的服务地点的条件,或者是基于本地化服务的服务起始时间的条件,还可以是基于服务地点和服务起始时间的条件。可选的,该选网列表中包括hosting network的标识,可选的,hosting network的优先级最高。
图13示例性示出了该方法的一种可能的实现流程。如图所示,该流程可以包括以下步骤:
S1301:终端确定满足第一本地化服务的条件。
判断是否满足本地化服务的条件的方法,与前述实施例基本相同,不同之处在于,由于本地化服务的条件的相关信息预配置在终端上,因此终端自身可以确定该终端是否满足本地化服务的条件。
S1302:当终端确定满足第一本地化服务的条件时,确定当前是否有业务正在进行,若有业务正在进行,则转入S1303,否则转入S1306。
S1303:终端通过与用户交互,获取用户的选择,所述用户的选择,包括同意切换接入类型,或者不同意切换接入类型。若用户同意切换接入类型,则转入S1304,否则转入S1305。
可选的,终端可以提供用于获取用户选择的用户界面,该用户界面可以提供同意切换接入类型的选项以及不同意切换接入类型的选项,用户可以通过人机交互,向终端提交自己的选择。
终端也可以通过其它方式获得用户的选择,比如通过语音询问的方式,根据接收到的用户应答语音,识别用户是否同意切换接入类型。
S1304:终端从第一接入类型(即终端当前接入网络的接入类型)对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网,并在完成切换后根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选,所述第二接入类型与所述第一接入类型不同。
例如,如果第一接入类型为非3GPP接入,则终端可以通过执行图3所示的流程,切换到3GPP接入;如果第一接入类型为3GPP接入,则终端可以通过执行图4所示的流程,切换到非3GPP接入。
S1305:终端在当前正在执行的业务结束后,根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。
该步骤中,若当前有业务正在执行,则终端可以暂时关闭自动选网,等待业务结束后,根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。终端也可以在等待业务结束后,由用户通过手动方式进行网络重选,比如,用户可以从预配置的选网列表中选择需要接入的网络。
S1306:终端根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。
上述流程中,UE在满足本地化服务的条件之后,需要额外对UE当前是否执行serving network中的业务做判断。当UE正在执行serving network中的业务时,则关闭自动选网,或是与用户交互询问用户是否需要进行接入类型的切换。通过上述流程可以避免在UE进行网络重选时,中断UE当前正在执行的业务,减小对当前业务的影响。
本申请的一些实施例还提供了一种通信方法,该方法中,针对选网信息预配置到终端上的情况,在网络重选时,通过选择与当前接入类型不同的接入类型来接入选择的网络,以减小或避免选网对当前业务的影响。
可选的,在终端上预配置的选网信息,可以包括但不限于本地化服务的标识、本地化服务的条件和用于选择hosting network的选网列表。可选的,本地化服务的条件可以是基于本地化服务要求的服务地点的条件,或者是基于本地化服务的服务起始时间的条件,还可以是基于服务地点和服务起始时间的条件。可选的,该选网列表中包括hosting network的标识,可选的,hosting network的优先级最高。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当终端确定满足第一本地化服务的条件时,获取终端当前接入的网络的接入类型(以下称为第一接入类型)以及第一网络(即用于提供所述第一本地化服务的网络)允许的接入类型;若第一网络允许的接入类型与第一接入类型相同,则终端从第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型(第二接入类型与第一接入类型不同)对应的接入网,并在切换到第二接入类型对应的接 入网后,根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。由于预配置的选网信息中包括第一网络,则终端可以选择第一网络进行接入,用以使用第一本地化服务。
可选的,若第一网络允许的接入类型中包括第二接入类型,则终端根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。由于预配置的选网信息中包括第一网络,则终端可以选择第一网络进行接入,用以使用第一本地化服务。
该流程可以应用于图7所示的系统架构,此种情况下,该流程中的第一核心网设备可以是AMF,第二核心网设备可以是UDM。该流程也可以应用于演进的系统架构或其他系统架构,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
图14示例性的示出了上述流程的一种可能的实现方法。在UE选网信息预配置的情况下,通过UE对hosting network的接入类型的判断,与当前serving network的接入类型进行比较,决定UE通过哪种接入类型接入hosting network,从而减小对当前业务的影响。该流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1401:UE根据预配置的本地化服务信息,判断满足第一本地化服务的条件。
步骤1402:UE将hosting network(即第一网络,用于提供第一本地化服务)允许的接入类型和第一接入类型(即UE当前正在使用的serving network的接入类型)进行比较,如果两者发生冲突,则执行步骤1403,否则执行步骤1404。
可选的,若hosting network允许的接入类型与第一接入类型相同,则表明两者发生冲突。例如,如果hosting network仅能通过3GPP接入,而第一接入类型也是3GPP接入;或者,如果hosting network仅能通过非3GPP接入,而第一接入类型也是非3GPP接入。
可选的,若hosting network允许的接入类型中包括第二接入类型(第二接入类型与第一接入类型不同),则表明两者不发生冲突,或者有可能不发生冲突。
步骤1403:终端从第一接入类型对应的接入网切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网,即执行接入类型切换。并在切换到第二接入类型对应的接入网后,根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选。
例如,如果第一接入类型为非3GPP接入,则终端可以通过执行图3所示的流程,切换到3GPP接入;如果第一接入类型为3GPP接入,则终端可以通过执行图4所示的流程,切换到非3GPP接入。
终端完成接入类型切换后,serving network和hosting network使用的接入类型不同,因此不会产生冲突,此时UE根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重选,以接入hosting network。
步骤1404:UE根据预配置的选网信息进行网络重新,在选择hosting network后,根据第二接入类型,通过第二接入类型对应的接入网接入hosting network。
上述流程通过对hosting network允许的接入类型与UE当前的serving network的接入类型进行对比,若产生冲突,则将当前serving network的接入网,从而实现接入类型的切换,使当前serving network的接入类型与hosting network允许的类型不同。当二者不产生冲突时,UE重新选择网络接入hosting network时,不会影响serving network的连接。因此,采用上述流程可以在UE重新选网接入hosting network时,避免对当前serving network中的业务产生影响。
