- Figure 3 is a network registration method in a roaming scenario of the prior art provided by an embodiment of the present application.
- the terminal device roams to the roaming area and needs to access the network of the roaming area through roaming.
- Operator B is the operator of the roaming area.
- Access network device A supports the 4G network of operator B, and access network device B supports the 3G network and 2G network of operator B.
- step S310 the terminal device roams to a roaming location and searches for a 4G network of the PLMN of operator B in the roaming location.
- the terminal device searches for networks in descending order of network standards, and preferentially searches for the 4G network of the PLMN of operator B. It should be understood that compared with 3G and 2G networks, the 4G network is a high-standard network.
- step S320 the terminal device sends a registration request for the 4G network to the access network device A to request registration to the 4G network of the PLMN of the operator B.
- step S330 in response to the registration request, the access network device A sends a registration rejection message to the terminal device, indicating that the terminal device has not successfully registered with the 4G network of the PLMN of the operator B.
- the registration rejection message includes a reason value for network registration failure.
- the terminal device fails to register with the network, there are generally two reasons: one is the network reason, such as network interruption, system failure, etc.; the other is the user reason, such as the user not signing a GPRS function contract leading to network rejection, the user not signing a roaming agreement leading to network rejection, etc.
- the terminal device will determine the reason for the registration failure based on the cause value in the registration rejection message fed back by the access network device.
- the common cause values of user reasons are: Cause#7, indicating that GPRS service is not allowed; Cause#11, indicating that PLMN is not allowed;.
- the common cause values of network reasons are: Cause#16, indicating that the mobile switching center (MSC) is temporarily inaccessible; Cause#17, indicating network failure; Cause#111, indicating protocol error.
- the reason value included in the registration rejection message may be a network registration failure caused by a network reason such as Cause#16, Cause#17, and Cause#111.
- the terminal device executes step S340 based on the reason value.
- step S340 the terminal device disables the 4G network of the PLMN of operator B within a preset time (for example, 12 minutes), and preferentially searches for a low-standard 3G network or 2G network on the PLMN of operator B.
- a preset time for example, 12 minutes
- the terminal device receives the registration rejection message sent by access network device A.
- the reason for the network registration failure can be determined based on the reason value in the registration rejection message.
- the terminal device disables the 4G network of operator B within a preset time (for example, 12 minutes) and prioritizes searching for 3G or 2G networks with network standards lower than 4G on operator B's PLMN.
- the search for low-standard 3G networks or 2G networks on the PLMN of operator B is prioritized here, which means that after failing to successfully register with the 4G network of the PLMN of operator B, the terminal device will first search for low-standard 3G networks or 2G networks on the PLMN of operator B.
- the terminal device searches for the 3G network or 2G network on the PLMN of operator B to try to register the 3G network or 2G network on the PLMN of operator B. During this period, the terminal device will not search for any network on the PLMN of other operators. Only when the registration on the 3G network or 2G network of the PLMN of operator B fails or the 3G network or 2G network is not searched, the terminal device will try to search for the network on the PLMN of other operators.
- step S350 the terminal device searches for the 3G network of the PLMN of operator B.
- step S360 the terminal device sends a registration request for the 3G network to the access network device B to request to register with the 3G network of the PLMN of the operator B.
- step S370 access network device B sends a registration success message to the terminal device.
- step S380 after the preset time expires, the terminal device releases the disabled state of the 4G network of the operator B's PLMN, performs reselection or redirection processes to return to the 4G network and retry to register with the 4G network. If the registration fails, step S340 and subsequent steps are continued to finally register to the 3G network. If the registration is successful, it stays in the 4G network.
- the terminal device if the terminal device preferentially searches for a high-standard network (for example, a 4G network) on the PLMN of a roaming operator (for example, operator B) but fails to register with the high-standard network of the PLMN of the roaming operator, the terminal device will respond to the received registration rejection message including, for example, a reason value #111, and will suspend the use of the high-standard network of the roaming operator and suspend the search for networks on the PLMNs of other roaming operators. Instead, the terminal device will preferentially search for low-standard networks (for example, 2G networks or 3G networks) on the PLMN of the roaming operator. If a low-standard network is searched on the PLMN of the roaming operator, the terminal device will register to the low-standard network of the roaming operator through roaming.
- a high-standard network for example, a 4G network
- a roaming operator for example, operator B
- the terminal device will respond to the received registration rejection message including, for example, a reason value #1
- the terminal device itself supports roaming registration to the high-standard network of the PLMN of other roaming operators (for example, operator C), but because the terminal device fails to register with the high-standard network of the PLMN of a certain roaming operator (for example, operator B) and receives a registration rejection message including, for example, reason value #111, the search for the PLMN of other roaming operators will be suspended, resulting in the terminal device being able to register only to the low-standard network and unable to register to the high-standard network of other roaming operators, resulting in a poor user experience.
- the terminal device itself supports roaming registration to the high-standard network of the PLMN of other roaming operators (for example, operator C)
- the terminal device fails to register with the high-standard network of the PLMN of a certain roaming operator (for example, operator B) and receives a registration rejection message including, for example, reason value #111

- a terminal device fails to register with a high-standard network of a PLMN of a roaming operator in the roaming area
- the terminal device searches for a high-standard network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators in the roaming area to attempt to register with the high-standard network.
- the terminal device has more opportunities to register with the high-standard network first, thereby improving the user experience.
- the network registration method in the roaming scenario of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to any roaming scenario.
- the method can be applied to scenarios such as the first network access of a terminal device in a roaming location, network reselection in a roaming location, and network access after a terminal device is restarted in a roaming location.
- the method 400 is described in detail by taking the terminal device as the execution subject of the method 400.

- the terminal device can automatically search for a network or perform a network search according to a network search instruction input by the user. If the user is currently in a roaming location, the user's terminal device searches for a first network of a PLMN of a first roaming operator in the roaming location, and the terminal device sends a first registration request to the access network device to request registration to the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator currently searched. It should be understood that the first roaming operator is any operator in the roaming location.
- the terminal device can search for networks in order of network standards from high to low. Therefore, the first network searched by the terminal device can be considered to be the network with the highest network standard that the terminal device can (or is allowed to) search.
- the first network is a 4G network, and it can be considered that the 4G network is the network with the highest network standard that the terminal device can currently search.
- the terminal device may not have successfully searched for the 5G network due to reasons such as previous registration failure or failure to search for a signal.
- the first network is a 5G network, and it can be considered that the 5G network is the network with the highest network standard that the terminal device can search.
- the first network is a 3G network
- the 3G network is the network with the highest network standard that the terminal device can search.
- the terminal device may not have successfully searched for the relevant network due to reasons such as previous registration failure or failure to search for a signal.
- the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator searched by the terminal device is the first network of any PLMN of the first roaming operator. No limitation is made here, and the specific PLMN searched by the terminal device in the actual scenario shall prevail.
- step S411 when the first network is searched on the PLMN of the first roaming operator in the roaming area, the terminal device sends a first registration request to the access network device #1.
- step S420 the terminal device receives a registration rejection message in response to the first registration request, wherein the registration rejection message is used to indicate that the terminal device has not successfully registered with the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator, and is used to instruct the terminal device to search for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the second network is a low-standard network and the first network is a high-standard network.
- the access network device receives the first registration request, and in response to the first registration request, sends a registration rejection message to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the registration rejection message.
- the terminal device knows the following two things: first, the terminal device has not successfully registered with the first network (e.g., 4G network) of the PLMN of the first roaming operator (e.g., mobile) for which registration is requested; second, the terminal device needs to search for a second network (e.g., 3G network or 2G network) with a network standard lower than the first network (e.g., 4G network) on the PLMN of the first roaming operator (e.g., mobile).
- a second network e.g., 3G network or 2G network
- the registration rejection message indicates that while the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator, the terminal device will not search for a network with any network standard on the PLMN of other roaming operators.
- the registration rejection message includes a reason value indicating a registration failure.
- the present application does not impose any restrictions on the specific content of the reason value, as long as the reason value can express the meaning of "the terminal device failed to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator" and can express the meaning of "the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator".
- the reason value in the registration rejection message of the present application indicates the reason value for the registration failure due to network reasons.
- the reason value may be any of the following: reason value #111, reason value #16, reason value #17.
- Reason value #111 indicates protocol error
- reason value #16 indicates that the MSC is temporarily unreachable
- reason value #17 indicates network failure.
- the terminal device can execute step S430 after a registration failure, that is, the terminal device can execute step S430 after receiving the first registration rejection message including the reason value #111.
- the protocol stipulates that the terminal device can have 5 consecutive opportunities to register with the network, that is, as long as the network registration is not successful, the terminal device can initiate 5 registration requests to request to register with the network. Therefore, in order to comply with the protocol to the greatest extent, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can execute step S430 after sending the registration request for the fifth time and failing to successfully register with the network, that is, the terminal device can execute step S430 after receiving the fifth registration rejection message including reason value #16 or reason value #17.
- step S421 after the access network device #1 receives the first registration request sent by the terminal device, it responds to the first registration request and sends a registration rejection message to the terminal device.
- step S430 in response to the registration rejection message, the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators except the first roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the terminal device when it receives the registration rejection message sent by the access network device, it will not search for a second network (e.g., 3G network or 2G network) with a network standard lower than the first network (e.g., 4G network) on the PLMN of the first roaming operator (e.g., China Mobile) as in the prior art, but will search for the first network (e.g., 4G network) on the PLMN of other roaming operators (e.g., China Unicom, China Telecom, or China Broadcasting, etc.) in the roaming area except the first roaming operator (e.g., China Mobile).
- the terminal device searches for a high-standard first network on other roaming operators, which can give the terminal device more opportunities to access the high-standard first network as soon as possible to improve user experience.
- the other roaming operators here can be at least one roaming operator in the roaming area except the first roaming operator, and not necessarily all operators in the roaming area except the first roaming operator.
- the other roaming operators can be at least one of China Unicom, China Telecom and Radio and Television.
- the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators, which means that the terminal device can search for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators, and the terminal device does not necessarily search through each of the other roaming operators.
- the other roaming operators include three roaming operators.
- the terminal device first searches for and successfully registers to the first network on one of the roaming operators. Then, the terminal device does not need to continue searching for the first network on the remaining two roaming operators.
- the terminal device While the terminal device is searching for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators, the terminal device will not search for any network of any standard on the PLMN of the first roaming operator. Only when the first network is not found on the PLMNs of other roaming operators or the registration for the first network fails, is it possible to search for a lower-standard network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- step S440 when the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of the second roaming operator among other roaming operators, the terminal device sends a second registration request to register the terminal device with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the terminal device searches for the first network of the higher standard on the PLMN of the operator of the second roaming location, then the terminal device sends a second registration request to the access network device to register the terminal device with the operator of the second roaming location.
- the access network device sends a registration success message to the terminal device to indicate that the terminal device is successfully registered to the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the terminal device can communicate on the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the second roaming operator is any operator in the roaming area except the first roaming operator.
- the second roaming operator and the first roaming operator can jointly build and share the same access network device, such as the access network device 123 shown in Figure 1, and the second roaming operator and the first roaming operator can share the first network of the same access network device.
- the terminal device sends the first registration request and the second registration request to the same access network device.
- the second roaming operator and the first roaming operator each use different access network devices.
- the terminal device sends a second registration request to access network device #2 to request registration to the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator. If the terminal device is successfully registered, in step S450, access network device #2 sends a registration success message to the terminal device to indicate that the terminal device is successfully registered to the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator. Thereafter, the terminal device can communicate on the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator searched by the terminal device is the first network of any PLMN of the second roaming operator. No limitation is made here, and the specific PLMN searched by the terminal device in the actual scenario shall prevail.
- the home operator of the terminal device is the TMO of Irish Bengal, and the user of the terminal device moves from Germany to China.
- the four operators in China (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Broadcasting) are the roaming operators of the terminal device.
- the terminal device After the terminal device is turned on, it searches for a 4G network (an example of the first network) of a PLMN of China Mobile (an example of the first roaming operator) and sends a registration request to request registration to the 4G network of China Mobile's PLMN.
- the terminal device After the terminal device receives a registration rejection message including, for example, a reason value #111 for the failure to register with China Mobile's 4G network, the terminal device stops searching for the 4G network on China Mobile's PLMN, and does not search for a 3G network or a 2G network on China Mobile's PLMN like the prior art, but searches for the 4G network on the PLMN of at least one operator among China Unicom, China Telecom and China Broadcasting. After searching for the 4G network on China Telecom's PLMN, it sends a registration request to register the terminal device to China Telecom's 4G network.
- a registration rejection message including, for example, a reason value #111 for the failure to register with China Mobile's 4G network
- the terminal device when the terminal device fails to register with a high-standard first network (e.g., 4G network) of the PLMN of the first roaming operator (e.g., China Mobile) and receives a registration rejection message for instructing to search for a second network (e.g., 3G network or 2G network) with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator, in response to the registration rejection message, the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators other than the first roaming operator in the roaming area.
- a high-standard first network e.g., 4G network
- a second network e.g., 3G network or 2G network
- the terminal device when a high-standard first network is searched on the PLMN of the second roaming operator (e.g., China Telecom) of other roaming operators, the terminal device sends a registration request to request registration to the high-standard first network, so that the terminal device has more opportunities to preferentially register with the high-standard first network, avoiding the problem in the prior art that the terminal device searches for a low-standard second network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator and finally registers with the low-standard second network, resulting in poor user experience, and effectively improving user experience.
- the second roaming operator e.g., China Telecom
- the terminal device when the terminal device fails to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator, the terminal device searches for a network with a lower network standard than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area. That is to say, if the terminal device fails to register, the terminal device will search for a second network of a low standard on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the at least one roaming operator of the roaming area here may be part or all of the operators of the roaming area, without any limitation.
- the at least one roaming operator of the roaming area may include the first roaming operator, or may not include the first roaming operator, without any limitation.
- the explanation of "at least one roaming operator of the roaming area” in the similar description "searching for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network (or searching for a second network with a lower standard) on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator of the roaming area" is the same as here, and will not be repeated later.
- the terminal device searches for the second network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area, which means that the terminal device can search for the second network on the PLMN of the at least one roaming operator, and the terminal device does not necessarily have to traverse and search each of the at least one roaming operator.
- the at least one roaming operator includes three roaming operators.
- the terminal device first searches for and successfully registers to the second network on one of the roaming operators. Then, the terminal device does not need to continue searching for the second network on the remaining two roaming operators.
- operator priority is given, and for a roaming operator, in order from high to low network standards, the terminal device attempts to search for second networks of all network standards on the PLMN of a roaming operator, and initiates a registration request to request network registration when a second network of any network standard is found. If the registration is successful, networks of other network standards are no longer searched, and if the registration is not successful, networks of other network standards are continued to be searched; if second networks of all network standards are not found on the PLMN of the roaming operator, an attempt is made to search for second networks of all network standards on the PLMN of another roaming operator, until a second network of any network standard is found on the PLMN of any roaming operator.
- the terminal device can search for a 3G network or 2G network with a network standard lower than the 4G network on the PLMNs of China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Radio and Television.
- 3G and 2G can be regarded as two network standards of the second network.
- the terminal device first searches for 3G network on the mobile PLMN. If a 3G network is found, a registration request for the 3G network is initiated to request registration to the 3G network. If the registration is successful, the mobile 2G network is no longer searched.
- the terminal device continues to search for 2G network on the mobile PLMN. Similarly, if a 2G network is found, a registration request for the 2G network is initiated to request registration to the 2G network. If the registration is successful, the network of other roaming operators is no longer searched. If the registration is not successful or the mobile 2G network is not found, the 3G network or 2G network is searched on the PLMN of another roaming operator (for example, China Unicom) in the order of network standards from high to low, until a 3G network or 2G network is found on the PLMN of any roaming operator.
- another roaming operator for example, China Unicom
- the network standard is prioritized.
- the terminal device attempts to search for a second network under the network standard on the PLMN of each roaming operator, and initiates a registration request to request network registration when the second network of the network standard is searched on the PLMN of any roaming operator. If the registration is successful, the terminal device no longer searches for the second network under the network standard of other roaming operators, and continues to search if the registration is unsuccessful.
- the terminal device can search for a 3G network or a 2G network with a network standard lower than the 4G network on the PLMN of China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Broadcasting Corporation.
- 3G and 2G can be regarded as two network standards of the second network.
- the 3G network is searched first.
- the terminal device searches for the 3G network on the PLMN of China Mobile. If a 3G network is found, a registration request for the 3G network is initiated to request registration to the 3G network.
- the terminal device searches for the 3G network on the PLMNs of China Unicom, China Telecom and China Broadcasting Corporation until a 3G network is found and registration is successful on the PLMN of any roaming operator. If a 3G network is not found on the PLMN of any roaming operator, the terminal device starts searching for the 2G network on the PLMNs of China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Broadcasting Corporation until a 2G network is found on the PLMN of any roaming operator.
- the terminal device in the step of the terminal device searching for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area, the terminal device preferentially searches for the second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the at least one roaming operator includes the first roaming operator.
- the terminal device when searching for a second network of a low standard, preferentially searches for the second network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator that has previously searched for the first network.
- the terminal device initiates a registration request to attempt to register with the second network.
- the terminal device can continue to search for the second network on the PLMN of other roaming operators. In this way, the process of searching for a second network of a low standard can comply with the existing protocol as much as possible, reduce changes to the protocol, and achieve the purpose of simplifying the design.
- the terminal device preferentially searches for the second network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the terminal device preferentially attempts to search for the second network of all network standards on the PLMN of the first roaming operator; in another example, for the above-mentioned method 2, it can be understood that when searching for the second network of the same network standard on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator, the terminal device preferentially attempts to search for the second network of the network standard on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- a second network with a lower network standard than the first network is searched on the PLMNs of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the terminal device when the terminal device fails to search for the first network, the terminal device will search for a second network of a lower standard on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the at least some of the roaming operators here refer to some or all of the other roaming operators. Due to some conditional restrictions (such as the time limit of the method 600 below) or network problems, the terminal device may not be able to search for all other roaming operators. Therefore, the terminal device may search for a second network with a lower standard after searching for some of the roaming operators.
- the registration rejection message is also used to instruct the terminal device to prohibit the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator within a second preset time period, and, in the above-mentioned step S430, that is, the step of searching for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators in response to the registration rejection message, the terminal device prohibits the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator within the second preset time period in response to the registration rejection message, and searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators.
- the second preset duration can be any duration, and is not limited here. Exemplarily, the second preset duration is less than or equal to 15 minutes. For example, the second preset duration can be 14 minutes, 13 minutes, 12 minutes, 10 minutes, 9 minutes, 8 minutes, 7 minutes, etc.
- a second preset time period is limited. During the second preset time period, the terminal device is prohibited from using the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator, and during the period of disabling the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator, the first network is preferentially searched on the PLMNs of other roaming operators.
- the terminal device releases the disabled state of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator, so that the terminal device can return to the first network by performing a reselection or redirection process to retry to register with the first network. If the registration fails, step S430 and subsequent steps are continued to be performed, and if the registration is successful, the terminal device resides in the first network. In this way, if the terminal device ultimately fails to successfully register with the first network, after the disabled state of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator is released, the terminal device has a chance to return to the first network of the high standard again to try to register with the first network, so as to improve the user experience as much as possible.
- a timer (defined as a second timer) may be set, and the second preset duration may be controlled by the timer.
- the terminal device in response to the registration rejection message, starts a second timer, prohibits the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming location within the duration of the second timer, and the duration of the second timer is a second preset duration; the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators. And after the second timer times out, the terminal device releases the disabled state of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- step S410 no matter which PLMN of the first roaming operator the terminal device searches for the first network, after receiving the registration rejection message, the terminal device will prohibit the use of the first network on all PLMNs of the first roaming operator.
- the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators within a first preset time period in response to the registration rejection message.
- the first preset time length is less than or equal to 2 minutes.
- the first preset time length may be 2 minutes, 1.5 minutes, 1 minute, 0.5 minutes, etc.
- the first preset duration of different durations can be set, and the first preset duration of the first network of different network standards is not specifically limited and can be flexibly set based on actual conditions.
- the first preset duration is duration 1
- the first preset duration is duration 2
- the first preset duration is duration 3
- duration 1, duration 2, and duration 3 are all different.
- networks with higher network standards have more frequency points, and it takes longer to search for these networks. Therefore, in order to enable the terminal device to search for higher-standard networks as much as possible, the higher the network standard of the first network, the longer the first preset duration is set. For example, the first preset duration for a 5G network is longer than the first preset duration for a 4G network.
- the problem of the terminal device being unable to access the network due to long-term continuous search for the first network can be avoided, thereby further improving the user experience.
- a timer (defined as a first timer) may be set, and the first preset duration may be controlled by the timer.
- the terminal device in response to a registration rejection message, starts a first timer, where the duration of the first timer is a first preset duration; the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators within the duration of the first timer.
- the terminal device prohibits the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator within the second preset duration in response to the registration rejection message, and searches for the first network on the PLMNs of the other roaming operators within the first preset duration, wherein the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration.
- the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators within the first preset time period. After the first preset time period expires, regardless of the terminal device being in various states (successfully registering the first network, or unsuccessfully registering the first network, or not searching for the first network, etc.), the terminal device stops searching for the first network on the PLMNs of any roaming operator of other roaming operators, and since the second preset time period has not expired, the terminal device is still prohibited from using the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the second preset time length is 12 minutes, and the first preset time length is less than or equal to 2 minutes.
- the first preset time length may be 2 minutes, 1.5 minutes, 1 minute, 0.5 minutes, etc.
- the terminal device in response to the registration rejection message, starts the second timer, prohibits the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming location within the duration of the second timer, and starts the first timer, searches for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators within the duration of the first timer.
- the duration of the first timer is the first preset duration
- the duration of the second timer is the second preset duration
- the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration.

- various situations in which the terminal device searches for a network are described in detail in combination with the first preset duration and the second preset duration.
- step S611 the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming location.
- step S612 when the first network is searched on the PLMN of the first roaming operator, a registration request #1 is sent to the access network device 1, where the registration request #1 is used to request registration to the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the registration request #1 here may correspond to the first registration request mentioned above.
- step S613 in response to registration request #1, access network device 1 sends registration rejection message #1, and the terminal device receives registration rejection message #1.
- the registration rejection message #1 is used to indicate that the terminal device has not successfully registered with the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator, and is used to instruct the terminal device to search for a second network whose network standard is lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the registration rejection message #1 includes a reason value #111, a reason value #16, or a reason value #17.
- step S614 in response to the registration rejection message #1, the terminal device prohibits the use of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator within the second preset duration, and searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators within the first preset duration.
- step S615 the terminal device determines whether the first network is searched within the first preset time period.
- the terminal device determines whether it has searched for a 4G network before the first preset time expires.
- the terminal device executes step S620.
- the terminal device can choose one of the two situations to execute. In the first situation, the terminal device executes step S641, or in the second situation, the terminal device executes step S642.
- the purpose is to search for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network when the first network is not found.
- step S620 when the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN operated by the second roaming operator of other roaming operators, it sends a registration request #2 to the access network device 2, where the registration request #2 is used to request registration to the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the registration request #2 here may correspond to the second registration request above.
- the access network device 1 and the access network device 2 can be the same device or different devices, which mainly depends on whether the first roaming operator and the second roaming operator share the same access network device.
- the access network device 1 and the access network device 2 can be the same device, and the terminal device will send the registration request #1 and the registration request #2 to the same access network device; in the case where the first roaming operator and the second roaming operator do not share the same access network device, different access network devices support their respective roaming operators, the access network device 1 and the access network device 2 are different devices, and the terminal device will send the registration request #1 and the registration request #2 to the access network device 1 and the access network device 2 supported by the first roaming operator and the second roaming operator, respectively.
- step S621 the terminal device determines whether the registration is successful.
- the terminal device determines whether the terminal device is successfully registered with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator.
- the terminal device When the terminal device is successfully registered, the terminal device communicates through the first network of the second roaming operator until the second preset time period times out, and step S660 is executed.
- step S623 and step S631 or step S632 are executed to determine whether the first preset time has timed out, and to execute different steps if it has timed out or not.
- the terminal device determines whether the terminal device is successfully registered based on the message fed back by the access network device. If the terminal device receives a registration rejection message #2 for registration request #2, it means that the registration is unsuccessful; if the terminal device receives a registration success message for registration request #2d, it means that the registration is successful.
- step S623 when the terminal device fails to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator, the terminal device determines whether the first preset duration has timed out.
- step S632 When the first preset time duration times out, the terminal device executes step S632; when the first preset time duration does not time out, the terminal device executes step S631.
- step S631 when the terminal device fails to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator and the first preset time has not timed out, the terminal device continues to search for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators except the second roaming operator among other roaming operators within the first preset time.
- step S615 and subsequent related steps are repeatedly executed to try to register with the first network of a higher standard or the second network of a lower standard.
- the terminal device searches for the first network on the PLMN of a roaming operator other than the second roaming operator among other roaming operators, for example, a third roaming operator, a new registration request is initiated, and if the registration is successful, the first network of the PLMN of the third roaming operator is used for communication; if the first network of the PLMN of the third roaming operator is not successfully registered and the first preset time period has not expired, the terminal device continues to search for the first network on the PLMN of roaming operators other than the second roaming operator and the third roaming operator among other roaming operators until the first network is found within the first preset time period or a second network of a lower standard is searched after the first preset time period expires.
- the terminal device when the terminal device fails to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator and the first preset time period has not timed out, the terminal device continues to search for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators except the second roaming operator among other roaming operators within the first preset time period, which can increase the chance of the terminal device searching for the first network, thereby increasing the chance of registering with the first network and improving the user experience.
- step S632 when the terminal device fails to successfully register with the first network of the PLMN of the second roaming operator and the first preset time has expired, the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- step S650 is executed to register with the second network of a low standard.
- the terminal device in the step where the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area, the terminal device preferentially searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- step S641 when the first preset time has not timed out and the first network has not been searched on the PLMN of any roaming operator in other roaming operators, before the first preset time has timed out, the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the terminal device has traversed all roaming operators in other roaming operators before the first preset duration expires, and the traversal result is that the first network has not been searched on the PLMN of any roaming operator.
- the terminal device does not need to wait for the first preset duration to end before searching for the second network of a lower standard, but ends the search duration (i.e., the first preset duration) in advance.
- the terminal device searches for the second network of a lower standard on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area in advance.
- the search duration is ended in advance so that the second network of a lower standard can be searched on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area in advance, thereby reducing unnecessary search duration, so that the terminal device can search for other networks as soon as possible to access the network as soon as possible, thereby improving user experience.
- the first preset duration has not timed out means a time that does not exceed the end time of the first preset duration
- before the first preset duration times out means a time before the end time of the first preset duration exceeds the end time of the first preset duration
- the terminal device in the step where the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area, the terminal device preferentially searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the terminal device starts the first timer and searches for the first network on the PLMNs of other roaming operators within the duration of the first timer; if the first timer has not timed out and the first network has not been searched on the PLMNs of any other roaming operators, the terminal device turns off the first timer in advance; after turning off the first timer, the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMNs of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the early closing of the first timer described here means closing the timer before the first timer expires.
- the terminal device can search for the second network with a low standard in advance before the first preset time expires.
- step S642 when the first preset time expires and the first network has not been found on the PLMNs of other roaming operators, the terminal device searches for a second network with a lower network standard than the first network on the PLMNs of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the terminal device when the first preset time has expired, the terminal device has not searched for the first network on the PLMN of other roaming operators, but the first preset time has expired. In this case, the terminal device no longer searches for the first network, but searches for a low-standard second network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area.
- the terminal device in the step where the terminal device searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of at least one roaming operator in the roaming area, the terminal device preferentially searches for a second network with a network standard lower than the first network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- step S650 when the terminal device searches for a second network with a lower network standard than the first network on any PLMN of the roaming operator, the terminal device sends a registration request #3 to request that the terminal device be registered to the second network of the PLMN of the roaming operator.
- any roaming operator here is any roaming operator among the at least one roaming operator mentioned above.
- the terminal device preferentially searches for the second network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator, if If the terminal device searches for the second network on the PLMN of the first roaming operator, then any one of the roaming operators is the first roaming operator.
- step S660 when the second preset time period expires, the terminal device releases the disabled state of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator.
- the terminal device can return to the first network by performing a reselection or redirection process to search and try to register the first network again. If the registration fails, the terminal device continues to search the first network or the second network to try to connect the terminal device to the network. If the registration is successful, the terminal device stays in the first network. In this way, if the terminal device ultimately fails to successfully register with the first network, after the disabled state of the first network of the PLMN of the first roaming operator is released, the terminal device has a chance to return to the first network of the high standard again to try to register with the first network, so as to improve the user experience as much as possible.

Description
本申请要求于2023年11月30日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202311637625.4、申请名称为“一种漫游场景下的网络注册方法和终端设备”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。
本申请涉及通信领域,更具体地,涉及通信领域中一种漫游场景下的网络注册方法和终端设备。
移动通信是目前全球广泛采用的通信方式。终端设备(例如,手机)需要搜索公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN),在PLMN上完成网络注册后,才能进行正常的网络通信。目前,各个运营商之间允许国际漫游或国内漫游,简称运营商之间的漫游,不同的运营商具有不同的PLMN。例如,终端设备的归属运营商为运营商A,终端设备可以通过漫游方式注册至与运营商A签约漫游协议的其他运营商的网络。
在一种漫游场景中,若终端设备优先在漫游地的某个运营商(例如,运营商B)的PLMN上搜索到高制式网络(例如,4G网络)但在该运营商的PLMN的高制式网络注册失败,终端设备接收到包括例如原因值#111的注册拒绝消息,响应于该注册拒绝消息,终端设备会暂停禁用该运营商的PLMN上的高制式网络以及暂停漫游地的其他运营商的PLMN上的网络搜索,而是会优先在之前已经搜索到网络的该运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式网络(例如,2G网络或3G网络),若该运营商支持终端设备漫游注册至低制式网络,那么,在终端设备搜索到该运营商的低制式网络且注册成功的情况下,终端设备会在低制式网络下通信,导致用户体验差。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种漫游场景下的网络注册方法和终端设备,终端设备在漫游地的一个漫游地运营商的PLMN的高制式网络注册失败时,响应于接收到的注册拒绝消息,终端设备会在漫游地的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索高制式网络以尝试注册至高制式网络,这样,在漫游地的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上存在高制式网络的情况下,终端设备有更多的机会优先注册至高制式网络,提高了漫游场景下用户使用网络的体验。
第一方面,提供了一种漫游场景下的网络注册方法,包括:在漫游地的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第一注册请求,第一注册请求用于请求将终端设备注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络;接收响应于第一注册请求的注册拒绝消息,注册拒绝消息用于指示终端设备未成功注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第
一网络,且用于指示终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络;响应于注册拒绝消息,在漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络;在其他漫游地运营商中的第二漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第二注册请求,以将终端设备注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,终端设备在例如第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)的PLMN的高制式的第一网络(例如,4G网络)注册失败,且接收到用于指示在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络(例如,3G网络或2G网络)的注册拒绝消息的情况下,响应于注册拒绝消息,终端设备会在漫游地的除该漫游地运营商以外的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索高制式的第一网络,这样,在例如第二新漫游地运营商(例如,电信)的PLMN上搜索到高制式的第一网络的情况下,终端设备发送注册请求以请求注册至第二漫游地运营商的高制式的第一网络,使得终端设备有更多的机会优先注册至高制式的第一网络,避免了现有技术中终端设备在例如第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络且最终注册至低制式的第二网络导致的用户体验差的问题,有效地提高了漫游场景下用户使用网络的体验。
在一些实施例中,在上述响应于注册拒绝消息,在漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络的步骤中,响应于注册拒绝消息,在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,通过设置第一预设时长,限定在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,可以避免终端设备由于长时间持续搜索第一网络导致终端设备迟迟无法入网的问题,进一步提高了漫游场景下用户使用网络的体验。
在一些实施例中,在上述在其他漫游地运营商中的第二漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第二注册请求,以将终端设备注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的步骤之后,方法还包括:在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且第一预设时长未超时的情况下,在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商中除第二漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上继续搜索第一网络。
这样,能够提高终端设备搜索到第一网络的机会,以提高注册至第一网络的机会,提高漫游场景下用户使用网络的体验。
在一些实施例中,在上述在其他漫游地运营商中的第二漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第二注册请求,以将终端设备注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的步骤之后,方法还包括:在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且第一预设时长超时的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,在第一预设时长超时的情况下终端设备也并未成功注册至例如第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,为了使得终端设备尽快入网,终端设备不再搜索第一网络,而是在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络,以注册至第二网络,降低了终端设备长时间无法入网的风险,以提高终端设备尽快入网的概率。
在一些实施例中,方法还包括:在第一预设时长未超时且在其他漫游地运营商中任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,在第一预设时长超时之前,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,在第一预设时长未超时在其他漫游地运营商中任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,意味着终端设备在第一预设时长超时之前已经遍历了其他漫游地运营商中的所有漫游地运营商,遍历结果是在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络,这样,在已经确知其他漫游地运营商的PLMN均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,提前结束搜索时长(即第一预设时长)以能够提前(即在第一预设时长超时之前)在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络,减少了不必要的搜索时长,以便于终端设备更早地搜索其他网络以尽早接入网络,提高漫游场景下用户使用网络的体验。
在一些实施例中,方法还包括:在第一预设时长超时且在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上还未搜索到第一网络的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,在第一预设时长超时后不再搜索第一网络,而是在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络,可以使得终端设备通过搜索其他网络以尽量接入网络,降低终端设备长时间无法入网的风险,以提高终端设备尽快入网的概率。
在一些实施例中,方法还包括:在其他漫游地运营商的至少部分漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到第一网络的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
这样,可以使得终端设备通过搜索其他网络以尽量接入网络,降低终端设备长时间无法入网的风险,以提高终端设备尽快入网的概率。
在一些实施例中,方法还包括:在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
这样,可以使得终端设备通过搜索其他网络以尽量接入网络,降低终端设备长时间无法入网的风险,以提高终端设备尽快入网的概率。
在一些实施例中,在上述在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的网络的步骤中,优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,在搜索低制式的第二网络的过程中,终端设备优先在之前已经搜索到第一网络的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络,这样,对于搜索低制式的第二网络的过程可以尽可能遵守现有协议,减少对协议的改动,达到简化了设计的目的。
在一些实施例中,在上述响应于注册拒绝消息,在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,包括:响应于注册拒绝消息,在第二预设时长内禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,第一预设时长小于第二预设时长。
本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,由于第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络注册失败,通过限定一个第二预设时长,在第二预设时长内禁止终端设备使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,可以避免短时间内终端设备可能多次尝试注册第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且均未成功导致终端设备迟迟无法入网的问题。
在一些实施例中,在上述响应于注册拒绝消息,在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络的步骤中,响应于注册拒绝消息,开启定时器,定时器的时长为第一预设时长;在定时器的时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
在一些实施例中,注册拒绝消息包括以下任一个原因值:原因值#111、原因值#16、原因值#17。
在一些实施例中,第一网络为5G网络或4G网络。
在一些实施例中,第一网络为6G网络或更高制式的网络。

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
首先,对本申请实施例涉及的相关概念或术语做简单介绍。
公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)
PLMN是由政府或其批准的经营者为公众提供陆地移动通信业务而建立、经营的网络。PLMN与公众交换电话网互连,形成整个地区或国家规模的通信网。PLMN是移动通信网络的代名词,具体到我们国家,每个移动通信的运营商的网络整体上可以看做一个PLMN,中国移动、中国联通和中国电信的网络是不同的PLMN。
PLMN由移动国家号码(mobile contrary code,MCC)和移动网号(mobile netcode,MNC)组成。MCC唯一表示移动用户的所属国家。例如,中国的MCC为460。MNC可以唯一表示该国家中的网络。例如,中国移动(简称移动)的MNC可以包括00,中国联通(简称联通)的MNC包括01,中国电信(简称电信)的MNC包括11,中国广电(简称广电)的MNC包括15。每个运营商可以包括至少一个PLMN。
表1示出的是不同运营商对应的不同PLMN。
表1
如表1所示,移动的PLMN可以包括46000、46002、46004、46007以及46008;联通的PLMN可以包括46001、46006、46009和46010。电信的PLMN可以包括46003、46011和46012;广电的PLMN可以包括46015。未来各运营商的PLMN还可以包括其他更多的PLMN,本申请在此不做限定。
归属PLMN(home PLMN,HPLMN)
HPLMN为终端设备归属的PLMN,称为归属PLMN。终端用户的全球用户身份模块(universal subscriber identity module,USIM)卡(也可称为全球用户识别卡)上的国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identification number,IMSI)号中包含的MCC和MNC与HPLMN上的MCC和MNC是一致的。对于某一终端设备来说,该终端设备的归属PLMN只有一个。例如,移动的PLMN包括4个PLMN,某一终端设备的归属PLMN是4个PLMN中的一个PLMN。
归属地运营商和漫游地运营商
归属地运营商是终端设备的卡的运营商,或者说,归属地运营商是终端设备的HPLMN所属的运营商。例如,终端设备的卡是中国移动的卡,那么,中国移动就是该终端设备的归属地运营商。
漫游地运营商是漫游地的运营商,是归属地运营商以外的其他运营商。例如,以国际漫游为例,小王是移动的用户,移动是小王的手机的归属地运营商,如果他出差在德国,那么,位于德国本地的例如TMO的运营商即为漫游地运营商。
若归属地运营商与某个漫游地运营商签约了漫游协议,那么,在漫游场景下,终端设备是能够接入该漫游地运营商的PLMN的。例如,若终端设备的归属地运营商是移动,移动与德国电信的TMO签约了漫游协议,那么,当该终端设备漫游至德国后,该终端设备能够漫游接入TMO的PLMN。
应理解,本申请实施例不仅可以应用于国际漫游场景,也可以应用于国内漫游场景中。为了节省网络建设的成本,运营商之间允许国内漫游是一种降低网络建设成本的一种重要手段。在国内漫游场景中,例如,终端设备的归属地运营商是联通,联通与移动签订漫游协议,那么,移动是漫游地运营商,联通的终端设备可以通过漫游方式接入移动的网络。
本申请实施例的技术方案适用于任何支持漫游服务的通信系统。例如:全球移动通讯(global system for mobile communications,GSM)系统,通用分组无线服务(general packet radio service,GPRS)系统,宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)、时分码分多址(time-division code division multiple access,TD-SCDMA)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、第五代新无线(5th generation new radio,5G NR)或未来的第六代(6th generation,6G)系统等。
图1是本申请实施例提供的移动通信系统的示意性场景图。参考图1,该移动通信系统包括终端设备、至少一个接入网设备和至少一个核心网设备,本申请的实施例对移动通信系统中核心网设备、接入网设备和终端设备的数量不做限定。终端设备通过无线的方式与接入网设备相连,接入网设备通过无线或有线方式与核心网设备连接。核心网设备与接入网设备可以是独立的不同的物理设备,也可以是将核心网设备的功能与接入网设备的逻辑功能集成在同一个物理设备上,还可以是一个物理设备上集成了部分核心网设备的功能和部分的接入网设备的功能。终端设备可以是固定位置的,也可以是可移动的。
接入网设备是终端设备通过无线方式接入到该移动通信系统中的设备,可以是基站NodeB、演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、5G移动通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB,gNB)、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入节点,还可以是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器,还可以是中继站、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。本申请的实施例对接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
终端设备是任意可以使用SIM卡进行通信的设备,终端设备也可以称为终端Terminal、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终
端(mobile terminal,MT)等。终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、智能手表等等。本申请的实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
不同的核心网设备支持不同的运营商。如图1所示,核心网设备131、核心网设备132、核心网设备133和核心网设备134支持各自对应的运营商,即,核心网设备131支持运营商B、核心网设备132支持运营商C、核心网设备133支持运营商D以及核心网设备134支持运营商A。
对于一个运营商,该运营商的核心网设备通过该运营商的接入网设备与终端设备通信连接。
一个接入网设备可以支持一个或多个运营商。当一个接入网设备支持多个运营商时,该多个运营商共建共享该接入网设备的网络,以减少网络建设的成本。尤其对于目前的5G网络的接入网设备,同样的覆盖范围,所需的5G网络的接入网设备的数目是4G网络的接入网设备的3-4倍,通过共建共享接入网设备的方式能有效减少网络建设的成本。
在一示例中,如图1所示,接入网设备121、接入网设备122、接入网设备124和接入网设备125分别支持一个运营商,每个运营商建立了各自的接入网设备。
在另一示例中,如图1所示,接入网设备123支持两个运营商:运营商B和运营商C,即,运营商B和运营商C共建接入网设备123,这样,运营商B和运营商C可以共享接入网设备123的网络,以减少网络建设的成本。例如,电信和联通可以联合共建5G独立组网(standalone,SA)基站,这样,电信和联通可以共享同一个基站的5G网络。再例如,广电和移动可以联合共建5G SA基站,这样,广电和移动也可以共享同一个基站的5G网络。
需要说明的是,若接入网设备支持多个网络,多个运营商仅共享双方共建的网络。例如,某个接入网设备支持4G网络和5G网络,4G网络是运营商B独立建设的,运营商B和运营商C仅共建了5G网络,那么,运营商B和运营商C只能共享5G网络,运营商C无法使用该接入网设备的4G网络。
在非漫游场景中,终端设备可以接入归属地运营商的接入网设备的网络中,在漫游场景中,终端设备可以接入与归属地运营商签订漫游协议的漫游地运营商的接入网设备的网络中。如图1所示,终端设备110的归属地运营商是运营商A,接入网设备121是运营商B的接入网设备,接入网设备122是运营商C的接入网设备,接入网设备123是运营商B和运营商C共建的5G网络的接入网设备,接入网设备124是运营商D的接入网设备,接入网设备125是运营商A的接入网设备。
假设,运营商A与运营商B和运营商C均签订有5G网络的漫游协议,接入网设备121、接入网设备122和接入网设备123均支持各自运营商的5G网络。那么,终端设备110可以通过漫游方式接入接入网设备121、接入网设备122和接入网设备123的各个运营商的5G网络,可直接接入归属地运营商(运营商A)的接入网设备125的网络,无法接入接入网设备124的网络。需要说明的是,由于接入网设备123是运营商B和运营商C共建共享的5G网络的接入网设备,且运营商A与运营商B和运营商C均签订有5G网络的漫游协议,因此,在漫游场景中,终端设备110在运营商B和运营商C之间漫游时,均可通过漫游方式接入接入网设备123,即终端设备110通过漫游方式接入同一个接入网设备的
5G网络。
再假设,运营商A与运营商B签订有4G网络的漫游协议,运营商A与运营商C签订有5G网络的漫游协议,接入网设备121支持运营商B的4G网络,接入网设备122支持运营商C的5G网络,接入网设备123支持运营商C的5G网络以及支持运营商B的4G网络。那么,终端设备110可以通过漫游方式可以接入接入网设备121的4G网络、接入接入网设备122的5G网络、接入接入网设备123的运营商C的5G网络,无法接入接入网设备123的运营商B的5G网络以及接入网设备124的网络,可直接接入归属地运营商(运营商A)的接入网设备125的网络。需要说明的是,虽然接入网设备123是运营商B和运营商C共建共享的5G网络的接入网设备,但运营商A仅与运营商C签订有5G网络的漫游协议,因此,在漫游场景中,终端设备110只能通过漫游方式接入接入网设备123的运营商C的5G网络而无法接入接入网设备123的运营商B的5G网络。
应理解,图1示出的移动通信系统仅为示意性说明,不应对本申请实施例构成限定。例如,移动通信系统中还可以更多或更少的核心网设备、接入网设备以及终端设备。
图2示出了终端设备110的结构示意图。终端设备110可以包括但不限于处理器111、天线1、天线2、移动通信模块112、无线通信模块113、用户标识模块(subscriber identification module,SIM)卡接口114等部件。示例性地,终端设备110还可以包括音频模块115、显示屏116、摄像头117、传感器模块118、外部存储器接口、内部存储器、通用串行总线(universal serial bus,USB)接口、充电管理模块、电源管理模块、电池、按键、马达、指示器等部件。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例示意的结构并不构成对终端设备110的具体限定。在本申请另一些实施例中,终端设备100可以包括比图示更多或更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者拆分某些部件,或者不同的部件布置。图示的部件可以以硬件,软件或软件和硬件的组合实现。
处理器111可以包括一个或多个处理单元,例如:处理器111可以包括应用处理器(application processor,AP),调制解调处理器,图形处理器(graphics processing unit,GPU),图像信号处理器(image signal processor,ISP),控制器,存储器,视频编解码器,数字信号处理器(digital signal processor,DSP),基带处理器,和/或神经网络处理器(neural-network processing unit,NPU)等。其中,不同的处理单元可以是独立的器件,也可以集成在一个或多个处理器中。其中,控制器可以是终端设备110的神经中枢和指挥中心。控制器可以根据指令操作码和时序信号,产生操作控制信号,完成取指令和执行指令的控制。
处理器110中还可以设置存储器,用于存储指令和数据。在一些实施例中,处理器110中的存储器为高速缓冲存储器。该存储器可以保存处理器110刚用过或循环使用的指令或数据。如果处理器110需要再次使用该指令或数据,可从存储器中直接调用。避免了重复存取,减少了处理器110的等待时间,因而提高了系统的效率。
在本申请实施例中,处理器110在漫游场景下搜索网络,搜索到漫游地的一个漫游地运营商的PLMN的高制式网络(例如,4G网络或5G网络)后发送注册请求以请求注册网络,在注册成功的情况下驻留在该网络下进行通信,在注册失败的情况下可
以在漫游地的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索相同网络制式的网络,以尝试注册至高制式网络。以及,在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到高制式网络的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式较低的低制式网络(例如,3G网络或2G网络),以让终端设备尽量接入网络。
终端设备110的无线通信功能可以通过天线1、天线2、移动通信模块112、无线通信模块113、调制解调处理器以及基带处理器等实现。
天线1和天线2用于发射和接收电磁波信号。终端设备110中的每个天线可用于覆盖单个或多个通信频带。不同的天线还可以复用,以提高天线的利用率。例如:可以将天线1复用为无线局域网的分集天线。在另外一些实施例中,天线可以和调谐开关结合使用。
移动通信模块112可以提供应用在终端设备110上的包括2G/3G/4G/5G等无线通信的解决方案。移动通信模块112可以包括至少一个滤波器,开关,功率放大器,低噪声放大器(low noise amplifier,LNA)等。移动通信模块112可以由天线1接收电磁波,并对接收的电磁波进行滤波,放大等处理,传送至调制解调处理器进行解调。移动通信模块112还可以对经调制解调处理器调制后的信号放大,经天线1转为电磁波辐射出去。在一些实施例中,移动通信模块112的至少部分功能模块可以被设置于处理器111中。在一些实施例中,移动通信模块112的至少部分功能模块可以与处理器111的至少部分模块被设置在同一个器件中。
无线通信模块113可以提供应用在终端设备110上的包括无线局域网(wireless local area networks,WLAN)(如无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)网络),蓝牙(bluetooth,BT),全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system,GNSS),调频(frequency modulation,FM),近距离无线通信技术(near field communication,NFC),红外技术(infrared,IR)等无线通信的解决方案。无线通信模块113可以是集成至少一个通信处理模块的一个或多个器件。无线通信模块113经由天线2接收电磁波,将电磁波信号调频以及滤波处理,将处理后的信号发送到处理器111。无线通信模块113还可以从处理器111接收待发送的信号,对其进行调频,放大,经天线2转为电磁波辐射出去。
在一些实施例中,终端设备110的天线1和移动通信模块112耦合,天线2和无线通信模块113耦合,使得终端设备110可以通过无线通信技术与网络以及其他设备通信。所述无线通信技术可以包括GSM、GPRS、WCDMA、TD-SCDMA、LTE、FDD、TDD、5G NR或6G系统、BT、GNSS、WLAN、NFC、FM、和/或IR技术等。所述GNSS可以包括全球卫星定位系统(global positioning system,GPS),全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system,GLONASS),北斗卫星导航系统(beidou navigation satellite system,BDS),准天顶卫星系统(quasi-zenith satellite system,QZSS)和/或星基增强系统(satellite based augmentation systems,SBAS)。
终端设备的SIM卡支持各个运营商的不同的移动网络,终端设备可以通过SIM卡以及移动通信模块112与各个移动网络交互,实现移动通话和数据通信。例如,终端设备的SIM卡是电信的卡,终端设备可以通过SIM卡以及移动通信模块112与电信网络交互,实现在电信网络的移动通话和数据通信。
SIM卡接口114用于连接SIM卡。SIM卡可以通过插入SIM卡接口114,或从SIM
卡接口114拔出,实现和终端设备110的接触和分离。终端设备110可以支持1个或N个SIM卡接口,N为大于1的正整数。SIM卡接口114可以支持Nano SIM卡,Micro SIM卡,SIM卡等。同一个SIM卡接口114可以同时插入多张卡。所述多张卡的类型可以相同,也可以不同。SIM卡接口114也可以兼容不同类型的SIM卡。SIM卡接口114也可以兼容外部存储卡。终端设备110通过SIM卡和各个运营商的网络交互,实现通话以及数据通信等功能。
图3是本申请实施例提供的现有技术的漫游场景下的网络注册方法。其中,终端设备漫游至漫游地,需要通过漫游方式接入漫游地的网络中,运营商B是漫游地的运营商,接入网设备A支持运营商B的4G网络,接入网设备B支持运营商B的3G网络和2G网络。
在步骤S310中,终端设备漫游至漫游地,搜索到漫游地的运营商B的PLMN的4G网络。
在漫游场景中,终端设备按照网络制式由高到低的顺序搜索网络,优先搜索到运营商B的PLMN的4G网络。应理解,相比于3G网络和2G网络,4G网络是高制式网络。
在步骤S320中,终端设备向接入网设备A发送4G网络的注册请求,以请求注册至运营商B的PLMN的4G网络。
在步骤S330中,响应于该注册请求,接入网设备A向终端设备发送注册拒绝消息,用于指示终端设备未成功注册至运营商B的PLMN的4G网络。其中,注册拒绝消息中包括网络注册失败的原因值。
需要说明的是,如果终端设备注册网络失败,一般有两种原因,一种是网络原因,比如网络中断、系统失败等原因;另一种是用户原因,比如用户没有签约GPRS功能导致网络的拒绝、用户没有签约漫游协议导致网络的拒绝等。终端设备会根据接入网设备反馈的注册拒绝消息中的原因值(cause value)来判定注册失败的原因。
示例性地,比较常见的用户原因的原因值为:Cause#7,表示GPRS服务不允许;Cause#11,表示PLMN不允许;。比较常见的网络原因的原因值为:Cause#16,表示移动交换中心(mobile switching center,MSC)暂时无法访问;Cause#17,表示网络失败(network failure);Cause#111,表示协议异常(protocol error)。
在上述步骤S330中,注册拒绝消息中包括的原因值可以是例如Cause#16、Cause#17和Cause#111等的网络原因导致的网络注册失败。终端设备基于原因值,执行步骤S340。
在步骤S340中,终端设备在预设时长(例如,12分钟)内禁用运营商B的PLMN的4G网络,且优先在运营商B的PLMN上搜索低制式的3G网络或2G网络。
终端设备接收到接入网设备A发送的注册拒绝消息,根据注册拒绝消息中的原因值能够确定出网络注册失败的原因,基于协议规定,终端设备在预设时长(例如,12分钟)内禁用运营商B的4G网络,且优先在运营商B的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于4G的3G或2G网络。
应理解,这里的优先在运营商B的PLMN上搜索低制式的3G网络或2G网络,表示的是,在未成功注册至运营商B的PLMN的4G网络后,终端设备会首先在运营
商B的PLMN上搜索3G网络或2G网络,以尝试在运营商B的PLMN上注册3G网络或2G网络,在此期间,终端设备暂时不会在其他运营商的PLMN上搜索任意制式的网络,只有在运营商B的PLMN的3G网络或2G网络上注册失败或者未搜索到3G网络或2G网络的情况下,终端设备才会尝试在其他运营商的PLMN上搜索网络。
在步骤S350中,终端设备搜索到运营商B的PLMN的3G网络。
在步骤S360中,终端设备向接入网设备B发送3G网络的注册请求,以请求注册至运营商B的PLMN的3G网络。
在步骤S370中,接入网设备B向终端设备发送注册成功的消息。
此时,意味终端设备成功注册至运营商B的3G网络。
在步骤S380中,在预设时长超时后,终端设备解除运营商B的PLMN的4G网络的禁用状态,执行重选、或重定向等过程回到4G网络重新尝试注册4G网络,若注册失败则继续执行步骤S340以及后续步骤最终注册至3G网络,若注册成功则驻留在4G网络。
可以看出,在上述漫游场景中,若终端设备优先在一个漫游地运营商(例如,运营商B)的PLMN上搜索到高制式网络(例如,4G网络)但在该漫游地运营商的PLMN的高制式网络注册失败时,终端设备响应于接收到的包括例如原因值#111的注册拒绝消息,会暂停使用该漫游地运营商的高制式网络以及暂停在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络,而是会优先在该漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式网络(例如,2G网络或3G网络),在该漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到低制式网络的情况下终端设备会通过漫游方式注册至该漫游地运营商的低制式网络。
然而,在上述漫游场景的网络注册过程中,若终端设备本身支持漫游注册至其他漫游地运营商(例如,运营商C)的PLMN的高制式网络,但由于终端设备在某个漫游地运营商(例如,运营商B)的PLMN的高制式网络注册失败且接收到的包括例如原因值#111的注册拒绝消息后会暂停其他漫游地运营商的PLMN的搜索,导致终端设备只能注册至低制式网络而无法注册至其他漫游地运营商的高制式网络,用户体验较差。
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种漫游场景下的网络注册方法,终端设备在漫游地的一个漫游地运营商的PLMN的高制式网络注册失败时,响应于接收到的注册拒绝消息,终端设备会在漫游地的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索高制式网络,以尝试注册至高制式网络,这样,在漫游地的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上存在高制式网络的情况下,终端设备有更多的机会优先注册至高制式网络,提高了用户体验。
本申请实施例的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,可以应用于任意的漫游场景。例如,该方法可以应用于终端设备在漫游地初次入网、在漫游地进行网络重选、在漫游地重启终端设备再次入网等场景中。
以下,结合图4至图7,对本申请实施例的漫游场景下的网络注册方法做详细描述。
在本申请实施例中,以终端设备作为执行方法400的执行主体为例,对方法400做详细描述。作为示例而非限定,执行方法400的执行主体也可以是对应终端设备的芯片或处理器。
图4是本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法400的示例性流程图。图5是本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法400的设备间交互的示意性流程图。
在步骤S410中,在漫游地的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第一注册请求,第一注册请求用于请求注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
在上述步骤中,终端设备可以自动搜索网或根据用户输入的搜网指令进行网络搜索,若用户当前处于漫游地,用户的终端设备搜索到漫游地的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,终端设备会向接入网设备发送第一注册请求,以请求注册至当前搜索到的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。应理解,第一漫游地运营商为漫游地的任一个运营商。
在搜索网络的过程中,终端设备可以按照网络制式由高到低的顺序搜索网络,因此,终端设备搜索到的第一网络可以认为是终端设备当前能够(或允许)搜索到的网络制式最高的网络。例如,第一网络为4G网络,可以认为4G网络是终端设备当前能够搜索到的网络制式最高的网络,对于5G网络,可能由于之前注册失败或未搜索到信号等原因导致终端设备当前并未成功搜索到5G网络。再例如,第一网络为5G网络,可以认为5G网络是终端设备能够搜索到的网络制式最高的网络。再例如,第一网络为3G网络,可以认为3G网络是终端设备能够搜索到的网络制式最高的网络,对于4G网络或5G网络,可能由于之前注册失败或未搜索到信号等原因导致终端设备当前并未成功搜索到相关网络。
应理解,对于第一漫游地运营商包括多个PLMN的情况,终端设备搜索到的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络是第一漫游地运营商的任一个PLMN的第一网络,此处并不做任何限定,以实际场景中终端设备搜索到的具体的PLMN为准。
参考图5,以接入网设备#1支持第一漫游地运营商的第一网络为例。示例性地,在步骤S411中,在漫游地的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到的第一网络的情况下,终端设备向接入网设备#1发送第一注册请求。
在步骤S420中,终端设备接收响应于第一注册请求的注册拒绝消息。其中,注册拒绝消息用于指示终端设备未成功注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且用于指示终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
可以理解,相比于第一网络,第二网络是低制式网络,第一网络是高制式网络。
在该步骤中,接入网设备接收到第一注册请求,响应于第一注册请求,向终端设备发送注册拒绝消息,终端设备接收注册拒绝消息。根据该注册原因消息,终端设备确知以下两个事情:第一,终端设备未成功注册至请求注册的第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)的PLMN的第一网络(例如,4G网络);第二,终端设备需要在第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络(例如,4G网络)的第二网络(例如,3G网络或2G网络)。
应理解,注册拒绝消息指示终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的期间,终端设备是不会在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索任意网络制式的网络的。
注册拒绝消息包括用于指示注册失败的原因值。本申请对于原因值的具体内容不做任何限定,只要该原因值能够表达“终端设备未成功注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络”,且能够表达“终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络”的含义即可。一般情况下,本申请的注册拒绝消息中的原因值表示的是由于网络原因导致注册失败的原因值。
示例性地,原因值可以是以下任一种:原因值#111、原因值#16、原因值#17。其中,
原因值#111表示协议异常(protocol error),原因值#16表示MSC暂时无法访问,原因值#17表示网络失败(network failure)。这3个原因值均表示的是由于网络原因导致注册失败的原因。
对于原因值#111,终端设备在一次注册失败后就可以执行步骤S430,即,终端设备在接收到第一个包括原因值#111的注册拒绝消息后就可以执行步骤S430。
对于原因值#16和原因值#17,协议规定,终端设备可以有连续5次机会进行网络注册,也就是说,只要未成功进行网络注册,终端设备可以发起5次注册请求以请求注册至网络。因此,为了最大程度地遵守协议,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以在第5次发送注册请求且未成功注册网络后执行步骤S430,即,终端设备在接收到第5个包括原因值#16或原因值#17的注册拒绝消息后就可以执行步骤S430。
参考图5,继续以接入网设备#1支持第一漫游地运营商的第一网络为例,示例性地,在步骤S421中,接入网设备#1接收到终端设备发送的第一注册请求后,响应于该第一注册请求,向终端设备发送注册拒绝消息。
在步骤S430中,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,在漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
在该步骤中,终端设备接收到接入网设备发送的注册拒绝消息,并不会类似现有技术中在第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络(例如,4G网络)的第二网络(例如,3G网络或2G网络),而是在漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)以外的其他漫游地运营商(例如,联通、电信或广电等)的PLMN上搜索第一网络(例如,4G网络)。这样,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商上搜索高制式的第一网络,可以使得终端设备有更多机会尽早接入高制式的第一网络,以提高用户体验。
需要说明的是,这里的其他漫游地运营可以是漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的至少一个漫游地运营商,不一定是漫游地的除第一漫游地运营以外的全部运营商,此处不做任何限定。例如,终端设备从国外漫游至中国,中国有4个漫游地运营商,第一漫游地运营为移动,那么,其他漫游地运营商可以是联通、电信和广电中的至少一个。
还需要说明的是,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,表示的是终端设备能够在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,终端设备不一定遍历搜索完其他漫游地运营商中的每个漫游地运营商。例如,其他漫游地运营商包括3个漫游地运营商,搜网过程中,终端设备首先在其中一个漫游地运营商上搜索且成功注册到第一网络,那么,终端设备就没必要在其余2个漫游地运营商上继续搜索第一网络。
应理解,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络的期间,终端设备是不会在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索任意制式的网络的,只有在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到第一网络或针对第一网络注册失败的情况下,才有可能在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的网络。
在步骤S440中,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商中的第二漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发送第二注册请求,以将终端设备注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
也就是说,终端设备在第二漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到了高制式的第一网络,那么,终端设备向接入网设备发送第二注册请求,以将终端设备注册至第二漫游地运
营商的PLMN的第一网络。在终端设备成功注册的情况下,接入网设备向终端设备发送注册成功消息,以指示终端设备成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,此后,终端设备可以在第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络上进行通信。其中,第二漫游地运营商是漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的任一个运营商。
在一示例中,第二漫游地运营商与第一漫游地运营商可以共建共享同一个接入网设备,例如图1所示的接入网设备123,第二漫游地运营商与第一漫游地运营商可以共享同一个接入网设备的第一网络。在该示例中,终端设备向同一个接入网设备发送第一注册请求和第二注册请求。
在另一示例中,第二漫游地运营商与第一漫游地运营商各自使用不同的接入网设备。参考图5,以接入网设备#1支持第一漫游地运营商的第一网络以及接入网设备#2支持第二漫游地运营商的第一网络为例,在步骤S441中,终端设备向接入网设备#2发送第二注册请求,以请求注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,在终端设备成功注册的情况下,在步骤S450中,接入网设备#2向终端设备发送注册成功消息,以指示终端设备成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。此后,终端设备可以在第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络上进行通信。
应理解,对于第二漫游地运营商包括多个PLMN的情况,终端设备搜索到的第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络是第二漫游地运营商的任一个PLMN的第一网络,此处并不做任何限定,以实际场景中终端设备搜索到的具体的PLMN为准。
作为一个具体示例,终端设备的归属地运营商是德国电信的TMO,该终端设备的用户从德国到中国,中国的4个运营商(移动、联通、电信和广电)是该终端设备的漫游地运营商,该终端设备开机后搜索到移动(第一漫游地运营商的一例)的一个PLMN的4G网络(第一网络的一例),发送注册请求,以请求注册至移动的PLMN的4G网络。在该终端设备对移动的4G网络注册失败接收到包括例如原因值#111的注册拒绝消息后,终端设备停止在移动的PLMN上搜索4G网络,也不会类似现有技术在移动的PLMN上搜索3G网络或2G网络,而是在联通、电信和广电中的至少一个运营商的PLMN上搜索4G网络,在电信的PLMN上搜索到4G网络后,发送注册请求,以将终端设备注册至电信的4G网络。
在上述提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法,终端设备在第一漫游地运营商(例如,移动)的PLMN的高制式的第一网络(例如,4G网络)注册失败,且接收到用于指示在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络(例如,3G网络或2G网络)的注册拒绝消息的情况下,响应于注册拒绝消息,终端设备会在漫游地的除第一漫游地运营商以外的其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,这样,在其他漫游地运营商的第二漫游地运营商(例如,电信)的PLMN上搜索到高制式的第一网络的情况下,终端设备发送注册请求以请求注册至高制式的第一网络,使得终端设备有更多的机会优先注册至高制式的第一网络,避免了现有技术中终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络且最终注册至低制式的第二网络导致用户体验差的问题,有效地提高了用户体验。
在一些实施例,在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的情况下,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络
的第二网络。也就是说,在终端设备未注册成功的情况下,终端设备会在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络。
需要说明的是,这里的漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商可以是漫游地的部分或全部运营商,不做任何限定。漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商可以包括第一漫游地运营商,也可以不包括第一漫游地运营商,也不做任何限定。下文类似描述“在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络(或搜索低制式的第二网络)”中关于“漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商”的解释同此处,后续不再赘述。
还需要说明的是,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络,表示的是终端设备能够在该至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络,终端设备不一定遍历搜索完该至少一个漫游地运营商中的每个漫游地运营商。例如,该至少一个漫游地运营商包括3个漫游地运营商,搜网过程中,终端设备首先在其中一个漫游地运营商上搜索且成功注册到第二网络,那么,终端设备就没必要在其余2个漫游地运营商上继续搜索第二网络。下文关于类似描述的解释同此处,不再赘述。
关于终端设备在至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的过程,以下示例两种可能的实现方式。
方式1
在一些实施例中,运营商优先,针对一个漫游地运营商,按照网络制式由高到低的顺序,终端设备在一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上尝试搜索所有网络制式的第二网络,在搜索到任一网络制式的第二网络的情况下发起注册请求以请求注册网络,在注册成功的情况下不再搜索其他网络制式的网络,在未注册成功的情况下继续搜索其他网络制式的网络;在该一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到所有网络制式的第二网络的情况下,在另一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上尝试搜索所有网络制式的第二网络,直到在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到任一个网络制式的第二网络。
假设,第一网络为4G网络,终端设备在移动的PLMN上注册失败且第一预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备可以在移动、联通、电信和广电的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于4G网络的3G网络或2G网络,这里,3G和2G可视为第二网络的两种网络制式。在搜索3G网络或2G网络的过程中,终端设备首先在移动的PLMN上搜索3G网络,若搜索到3G网络,则发起3G网络的注册请求以请求注册至3G网络,在注册成功的情况下不再搜索移动的2G网络,若未注册成功或者未搜索到移动的3G网络,终端设备继续在移动的PLMN上搜索2G网络;同理,若搜索到2G网络,则发起2G网络的注册请求以请求注册至2G网络,在注册成功的情况下不再搜索其他漫游地运营商的网络,若未注册成功或者未搜索到移动的2G网络,在另一个漫游地运营商(例如,联通)的PLMN上按照网络制式由高到低的顺序搜索3G网络或2G网络,直到在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到3G网络或2G网络。
方式2
在另一些实施例中,网络制式优先,针对一个网络制式,终端设备尝试在各个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索该网络制式下的第二网络,在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到该网络制式的第二网络的情况下发起注册请求以请求注册网络,在注册成功的情况下不再搜索其他漫游地运营商的该网络制式下的第二网络,在未注册成功的情况下继续搜索
其他漫游地运营商的该网络制式下的第二网络;在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到该网络制式的第二网络的情况下,针对另一个网络制式,尝试在各个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索该另一个网络制式下的第二网络,直到在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到任一个网络制式的第二网络。
假设,第一网络为4G网络,终端设备在移动的PLMN上注册失败且第一预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备可以在移动、联通、电信和广电的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于4G网络的3G网络或2G网络,这里,3G和2G可视为第二网络的两种网络制式。在搜索3G网络或2G网络的过程中,优先搜索3G网络。终端设备在移动的PLMN上搜索3G网络,若搜索到3G网络,则发起3G网络的注册请求以请求注册至3G网络,在注册成功的情况下不再搜索联通、电信和广电的3G网络,若未注册成功或者未搜索到移动的3G网络,终端设备在联通、电信和广电的PLMN上搜索3G网络,直到在其中任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到3G网络且注册成功,若未在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到3G网络,则开始在移动、联通、电信和广电的PLMN上搜索2G网络,直到在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到2G网络。
示例性地,在上述终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的步骤中,终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。可以理解,该至少一个漫游地运营商包括第一漫游地运营商。
在该实施例中,终端设备在搜索低制式的第二网络的过程中,终端设备优先在之前已经搜索到第一网络的第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络,在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第二网络的情况下,终端设备发起注册请求以尝试注册至第二网络;在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到第二网络的情况下,终端设备可以在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上继续搜索第二网络。这样,对于搜索低制式的第二网络的过程可以尽可能遵守现有协议,减少对协议的改动,达到简化了设计的目的。
终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络,在一示例中,对于上述方式1,可以理解为终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上尝试搜索所有网络制式的第二网络;在另一示例中,对于上述方式2,可以理解为,在至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索同一网络制式的第二网络时,终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上尝试搜索该网络制式的第二网络。
在一些实施例中,在其他漫游地运营商的至少部分漫游地运营商的PLMN上未搜索到第一网络的情况下,在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
也就是说,在终端设备未搜索到第一网络的情况下,终端设备会在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络。
应理解,这里的至少部分漫游地运营商,表示的是其他漫游地运营商的部分或全部漫游地运营商。出于一些条件限制(例如下文方法600的时长限制)或网络等问题,终端设备并不一定能搜索完其他漫游地运营商,因此,终端设备有可能搜索一部分漫游地运营商后就去搜索低制式的第二网络。
关于终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一
网络的第二网络的具体描述可参考上文的相关描述,不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,注册拒绝消息还用于指示终端设备在第二预设时长内禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,以及,在上述步骤S430,即响应于注册拒绝消息,在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络的步骤中,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,在第二预设时长内禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
第二预设时长可以是任意时长,此处不做任何限定。示例性地,第二预设时长小于或等于15min。例如,第二预设时长可以是14min、13min、12min、10min、9min、8min、7min等。
由于第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络注册失败,为了避免短时间内终端设备可能多次尝试注册第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且均未成功导致终端设备迟迟无法入网的问题,通过限定一个第二预设时长,在第二预设时长内禁止终端设备使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且在禁用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的期间内,优先在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
在上述实施例中,在第二预设时长超时后,终端设备解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态,这样,终端设备可以通过执行重选、或重定向等过程回到第一网络以重新尝试注册第一网络,若注册失败则继续执行步骤S430以及后续步骤,若注册成功则驻留在第一网络。这样,若终端设备最终并未成功注册到第一网络,解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态后,终端设备还有机会再次回到高制式的第一网络以尝试注册至第一网络,尽量提高用户体验。
在上述实施例中,可以设置定时器(定义为第二定时器),通过定时器控制第二预设时长。
示例性地,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,开启第二定时器,在第二定时器的时长内禁止使用第一漫游地的PLMN的第一网络,第二定时器的时长为第二预设时长;终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。以及,在第二定时器超时后,终端设备解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态。
需要说明的是,在第一漫游地运营商包括多个PLMN的情况下,在步骤S410中无论终端设备搜索到的是第一漫游地运营商的哪个PLMN上的第一网络,在接收到注册拒绝消息后,终端设备会禁止在第一漫游地运营商的所有PLMN上使用第一网络。
在一些实施例中,在上述步骤S430,即响应于注册拒绝消息,在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络的步骤中,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
示例性地,第一预设时长小于或等于2min,例如,第一预设时长可以是2min、1.5min、1min、0.5min等。
在本申请实施例中,对于不同网络制式的第一网络,可以设置不同时长的第一预设时长,针对不同网络制式的第一网络的第一预设时长,具体不做任何限定,可以基于实际情况灵活设置。例如,针对5G网络,第一预设时长的时长为时长1,针对4G网络,第一预设时长为时长2,针对3G网络,第一预设时长为时长3,时长1、时长2和时长3均不同。
在一些实施例中,一般来说,网络制式越高的网络的频点更多一些,搜索这些网络需要的时间更长一些,因此,为了使得终端设备尽可能搜索到高制式的网络,第一网络的网络制式越高,第一预设时长的时长设置的更长一些。例如,针对5G网络的第一预设时长的时长大于针对4G网络的第一预设时长的时长。
在上述实施例中,通过设置第一预设时长,限定在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,可以避免终端设备由于长时间持续搜索第一网络导致终端设备迟迟无法入网的问题,进一步提高了用户体验。
在上述实施例中,可以设置定时器(定义为第一定时器),通过定时器控制第一预设时长。
示例性地,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,开启第一定时器,第一定时器的时长为第一预设时长;终端设备在第一定时器的时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
结合上述用于限制第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的第二预设时长,在一些实施例中,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,在第二预设时长内禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且在第一预设时长内在所述其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,其中,第一预设时长小于第二预设时长。
也就是说,在禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的第二预设时长内,终端设备在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。在第一预设时长超时后,无论终端设备处于各种状态(成功注册第一网络、或未成功注册第一网络、或并未搜索到第一网络等),终端设备均停止在其他漫游地运营商的任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,且由于第二预设时长还未超时,终端设备依然禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
示例性地,第二预设时长为12min,第一预设时长小于或等于2min,例如,第一预设时长可以是2min、1.5min、1min、0.5min等。
结合上述定义的第一定时器和第二定时器,示例性地,终端设备响应于注册拒绝消息,开启第二定时器,在第二定时器的时长内禁止使用第一漫游地的PLMN的第一网络;开启第一定时器,在第一定时器的时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。第一定时器的时长为第一预设时长,第二定时器的时长为第二预设时长,第一预设时长小于第二预设时长。
应理解,终端设备开启第二定时器和开启第一定时器的步骤可以是同时进行的,也可以是先开启第二定时器再开启第一定时器,此处不做任何限定。
图6是本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法600的示意性流程图。在方法600中,结合上述第一预设时长和第二预设时长,对终端设备搜索网络的各种情况做详细描述。
在步骤S611中,终端设备在第一漫游地的PLMN上搜索到第一网络。
在步骤S612中,在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,向接入网设备1发送注册请求#1,注册请求#1用于请求注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
这里的注册请求#1可对应上文的第一注册请求。
在步骤S613中,响应于注册请求#1,接入网设备1发送注册拒绝消息#1,终端设备接收注册拒绝消息#1。
注册拒绝消息#1用于指示终端设备未成功注册至第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且用于指示终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。示例性地,注册拒绝消息#1包括原因值#111、原因值#16或原因值#17。
在步骤S614中,响应于注册拒绝消息#1,终端设备在第二预设时长内禁止使用第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络,且在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络。
在步骤S615中,终端设备确定在第一预设时长内是否搜索到第一网络。
或者说,终端设备确定在第一预设时超时前是否搜索到4G网络
在第一预设时长内搜索到第一网络的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S620。
在第一预设时长内未搜索到第一网络的情况下,可以分为两种情况,终端设备可以选择这两种情况中的一种情况来执行,在第一种情况下终端设备执行步骤S641,或在第二种情况下终端设备执行步骤S642,目的是在未搜索到第一网络的情况下搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
在步骤S620中,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的第二漫游地运营的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,向接入网设备2发送注册请求#2,注册请求#2用于请求注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
这里的注册请求#2可对应上文的第二注册请求。
应理解,接入网设备1和接入网设备2可以是同一个设备,也可以是不同设备,主要在于第一漫游地运营商和第二漫游地运营商是否共享同一个接入网设备。在第一漫游地运营商和第二漫游地运营商共享同一个接入网设备的情况下,接入网设备1和接入网设备2可以是同一个设备,终端设备将注册请求#1和注册请求#2会发送至同一个接入网设备;在第一漫游地运营商和第二漫游地运营商不共享同一个接入网设备的情况下,不同的接入网设备支持各自的漫游地运营商,接入网设备1和接入网设备2是不同的设备,终端设备分别将注册请求#1和注册请求#2发送至第一漫游地运营商和第二漫游地运营商各自支持的接入网设备1和接入网设备2。
在步骤S621中,终端设备确定是否注册成功。
在该步骤中,终端设备确定终端设备是否成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络。
在终端设备注册成功的情况下,终端设备通过第二漫游地运营商的第一网络进行通信,直到第二预设时长超时,执行步骤S660。
在终端设备未注册成功的情况下,执行步骤S623以及步骤S631或步骤S632,目的在于确定第一预设时长是否超时,以及,在超时或者未超时执行不同的步骤。
终端设备根据接入网设备反馈的消息,确定终端设备是否注册成功。终端设备接收到针对注册请求#2的注册拒绝消息#2,意味着未注册成功;终端设备接收到针对注册请求#2d的注册成功消息,意味着注册成功。
在步骤S623中,在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的情况下,终端设备确定第一预设时长是否超时。
在第一预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S632;在第一预设时长未超时的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S631。
在步骤S631中,在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且第一预设时长未超时的情况下,终端设备在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商中除第二漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上继续搜索第一网络。
在该步骤中,在搜索第一网络的过程中,重复执行步骤S615以及后续相关步骤,以尝试注册至高制式的第一网络或低制式的第二网络。
具体地,在第一预设时长内,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商中除第二漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商中的例如第三漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第一网络的情况下,发起新的注册请求,在注册成功的情况下采用第三漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络进行通信;在第三漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络未注册成功以及在第一预设时长未超时的情况下,继续在其他漫游地运营中除第二漫游地运营商和第三漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络,直到在第一预设时长内搜索到第一网络或者在第一预设时长超时后搜索低制式的第二网络。
当然,若其他漫游地运营商中只有第一漫游地运营商而无其他漫游地运营商的情况下,跳过该步骤,终端设备直接搜索低制式的第二网络。
在上述实施例中,在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且第一预设时长未超时的情况下,终端设备在第一预设时长内在其他漫游地运营商中除第二漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上继续搜索第一网络,能够提高终端设备搜索到第一网络的机会,以提高注册至第一网络的机会,提高用户体验。
在步骤S632中,在终端设备未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络且第一预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
也就是说,在第一预设时长超时的情况下终端设备也并未成功注册至第二漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的情况下,为了使得终端设备尽快入网,终端设备不再搜索第一网络,而是在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络,以注册至第二网络。在搜索到低制式的第二网络的情况下执行步骤S650,以注册至低制式的第二网络。可以理解,这种情况下,意味着终端设备搜索到第二漫游地运营商的第一网络花费了一定时长,终端设备在第二漫游地运营商以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上大概率未搜索到第一网络,因此,第一预设时长超时后搜索低制式的第二网络,能提高终端设备尽快入网的概率。
在一些实施例中,在上述终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的步骤中,终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
关于终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的具体描述可参考上文的相关描述,不再赘述。
在步骤S641中,在第一预设时长未超时且在其他漫游地运营商中任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,在第一预设时长超时之前,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
也就是说,终端设备在第一预设时长超时之前已经遍历了其他漫游地运营商中的所有漫游地运营商,遍历结果是在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络,此种情况下,终端设备不需要等待第一预设时长结束后再去搜索低制式的第二网络,而是提前结束搜索时长(即第一预设时长),在第一预设时长超时之前,终端设备提前在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络。这样,在已经确知其他漫游地运营商的PLMN均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,提前结束搜索时长以能够提前在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络,减少了不必要的搜索时长,以便于终端设备尽快搜索其他网络以尽早接入网络,提高用户体验。
应理解,“第一预设时长未超时”表示的是未超过第一预设时长的结束时间,以及,“在第一预设时长超时之前”表示的是在超过第一预设时长的结束时间之前的时间。
在一些实施例中,在上述终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的步骤中,终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
关于终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的具体描述可参考上文的相关描述,不再赘述。
结合上文定义的针对第一预设时长的第一定时器,实现中,终端设备开启第一定时器,在第一定时器的时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第一网络;在第一定时器未超时且在其他漫游地运营商中任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上均未搜索到第一网络的情况下,终端设备提前关闭第一定时器;在关闭第一定时器后,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
应理解,这里描述的提前关闭第一定时器,表示的是在第一定时器超时前关闭定时器,这样,终端设备在关闭第一定时器后,就可以在第一预设时长超时前,提前搜索低制式的第二网络。
在步骤S642中,在第一预设时长超时且在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上还未搜索到第一网络的情况下,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
在该步骤中,在第一预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上还未搜索到第一网络,但第一预设时长已经超时,此种情况下,终端设备不再搜索第一网络,而是在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索低制式的第二网络。
在一些实施例中,在上述终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的步骤中,终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络。
关于终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的具体描述可参考上文的相关描述,不再赘述。
在步骤S650中,终端设备在任一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到网络制式低于第一网络的第二网络的情况下,发送注册请求#3,以请求将终端设备注册至该漫游地运营商的PLMN的第二网络。
应理解,这里的任一个漫游地运营商是上述的至少一个漫游地运营商中的任一个漫游地运营商。在终端设备优先在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索第二网络的实施例中,若
终端设备在第一漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索到第二网络,则该任一个漫游地运营商为第一漫游地运营商。
在步骤S660中,在第二预设时长超时的情况下,终端设备解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态。
这样,解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态后,终端设备可以通过执行重选、或重定向等过程回到第一网络以重新搜索以及尝试注册第一网络,若注册失败则继续搜索第一网络或搜索第二网络以尽量将终端设备接入网络,若注册成功则驻留在第一网络。这样,若终端设备最终并未成功注册到第一网络,解除第一漫游地运营商的PLMN的第一网络的禁用状态后,终端设备还有机会再次回到高制式的第一网络以尝试注册至第一网络,尽量提高用户体验。
图7是本申请实施例提供的漫游场景下的网络注册方法700的示意性流程图。
在方法700中,以第一网络为4G网络以及第二网络为3G网络或2G网络为例,以及,以漫游地运营商#1为第一漫游地运营商的一例、漫游地运营商#2为第二漫游地运营商的一例、定时器#1为第一定时器的一例、定时器#2为第二定时器的一例作为示例,示意一个具体实施例,结合上文描述,对于方法700中类似或相同内容做简单描述,不再赘述。

在步骤S715中,终端设备开启定时器#1。定时器#1的时长为第一预设时长,第一预设时长小于第二预设时长。
在上述步骤中,步骤S714和步骤S715顺序不做任何限定,步骤S714和步骤S715可以同时执行,即,终端设备可以同时开启定时器#2和定时器#1;或者,步骤S714可以在步骤S715之前执行,即,终端设备先开启定时器#2,在开启定时器#1。
在步骤S716中,终端设备在定时器#1的时长内在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索4G网络。
在步骤S717中,终端设备确定在定时器#1的时长内是否搜索到4G网络。
或者说,终端设备确定在定时器#1超时前是否搜索到4G网络。
在定时器#1的时长内搜索到4G网络的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S720;在定时器#1的时长内未搜索到4G网络的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S741或步骤S742,目的是在未搜索到4G网络的情况下搜索网络制式低于4G网络的3G网络或2G网络。
在步骤S720中,终端设备在其他漫游地运营商的漫游地运营商#2的PLMN上搜索到4G网络的情况下,向接入网设备2发送注册请求#2,注册请求#2用于请求注册至漫游地运营商#2的PLMN的4G网络。
在步骤S721中,终端设备确定是否注册成功。
应理解,终端设备确定是否注册成功,确定的是终端设备是否成功注册至漫游地运营商#2的PLMN的4G网络。
在终端设备注册成功的情况下,终端设备通过漫游地运营商#2的4G网络进行通信,直到定时器#2超时,执行步骤S760。
在终端设备未注册成功的情况下,执行步骤S723以及步骤S731或步骤S732,目的在于确定定时器#1是否超时,以及,在超时或者未超时执行不同的步骤。
终端设备根据接入网设备反馈的消息,确定终端设备是否注册成功。终端设备接收到注册拒绝消息#2,意味着未注册成功;终端设备接收到注册成功消息,意味着注册成功。
在步骤S723中,终端设备确定定时器#1是否超时。
在定时器#1超时的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S732;在定时器#1未超时的情况下,终端设备执行步骤S731。
在步骤S731中,在终端设备未成功注册至漫游地运营商#2的PLMN的4G网络且定时器#1未超时的情况下,终端设备在定时器#1的时长内在其他漫游地运营商中除漫游地运营商#2以外的漫游地运营商的PLMN上继续搜索4G网络。
在搜索4G网络的过程中,重复执行步骤S717以及后续相关步骤,最终尝试注册至高制式的4G网络,或尝试注册至低制式的3G网络或2G网络。关于该步骤的具体描述可参考方法600中关于步骤S631的相关描述,不再赘述。
在步骤S732中,在终端设备未成功注册至漫游地运营商#2的PLMN的4G网络且定时器#1超时的情况下,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索3G网络或2G网络。

应理解,这里描述的提前关闭定时器#1,表示的是在定时器#1超时前关闭定时器,这样,终端设备在关闭定时器#1后,就可以在第一预设时长超时前,提前搜索3G网络或2G网络。
关于该步骤的具体描述可参考方法600中关于步骤S641的相关描述,不再赘述。
在步骤S742中,在定时器#1超时且在其他漫游地运营商的PLMN上还未搜索到4G网络的情况下,终端设备在漫游地的至少一个漫游地运营商的PLMN上搜索3G网络或2G网络。
