Here, the LTE network device may also be referred to as an evolved Node B (eNB), and the NR network device may also be referred to as a next generation network device (gNB). It should be noted that the present application may not be limited to the relationship between the coverage areas of the primary network device and the secondary network device, for example, the primary network device and the secondary network device may overlap.
As for the actual type of the terminal 101, the present application may not be limited, and it may be any user equipment that supports the above dual connection mode, for example, a smart phone, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a portable wearable device, and the like.
The following describes in detail the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems by embodiments and with reference to the drawings. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
An embodiment of the present application provides a network connection method, which may be applied to the terminal 101 shown in fig. 1, please refer to an alternative flow diagram of the network connection method shown in fig. 3, where the method includes the following steps:
The terminal mentioned in the embodiment of the application can support a dual connection mode, and under the dual connection mode, the terminal is simultaneously connected with a first communication network and a second communication network; it will be appreciated that the terminal communicates with both the first network device (i.e. the network device in the first communication network) and the second network device (i.e. the network device in the second communication network).
In one possible implementation, the first communication network is a secondary network and the second communication network is a primary network. Specifically, the secondary network is used for transmitting data, and the primary network is mainly used for transmitting signaling.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first communication network and the second communication network may be different types of networks or may be the same type of network. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the first communication network is an NR network (i.e., a 5G network), and the second communication network is an LTE network (i.e., a 4G network). It should be noted that the type of the second communication network in the embodiment of the present application is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In the embodiment of the application, the entity structure of the terminal comprises a screen for displaying information; specifically, the terminal can acquire the screen state of the terminal in real time; in a possible example, the terminal may obtain and recognize the screen status through the system application layer code logic.
In the embodiment of the application, the screen state represents the screen use condition of the terminal.
Generally, the screen state may include a bright screen state and a dead screen state. In the bright screen state, a display panel of a screen of the terminal is lightened to display a current application program interface; in the screen-off state, the display panel of the terminal screen is off and does not display any image.
In practical application, when a terminal screen is in a bright screen state, the relevant information of a user concerning the terminal is shown; when the terminal screen is in the screen-off state, the related information of the terminal is not concerned by the user.
Here, the first threshold is used to determine whether the first signal quality is good or bad, and when the first signal quality is smaller than the first threshold, it indicates that the current first signal quality is bad, and the network of the terminal needs to be reconfigured.
Based on the description in step 310, the terminal screen is in the off-screen state, which indicates that the user is not interested in the relevant information of the terminal. Therefore, the terminal can send the first indication information to the network device to inform the network device that the signal quality of the current first communication network is poor under the condition that the screen is in the screen-off state, so that the network device is guided to reconfigure the network, the terminal is disconnected from the first communication network, the first communication network is deactivated, the connection of one communication network is reduced, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal is achieved.
It should be noted that the first indication information may be any type of uplink data; for example, the first indication information may be a reconfiguration response message, or may be a measurement report of any measurement event; the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the first indication information here.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may indicate that the first signal quality of the first communication network is less than the first threshold value by any one of the following manners:
1. the terminal indicates whether the first signal quality is less than the first threshold value by setting different values for a certain identification bit in the first indication information.
In a possible example, the terminal may set a value of an identification bit in the first indication information to 0, indicating that the first network signal quality is greater than or equal to a first threshold; or, the terminal sets the value of the flag bit to 1, and indicates that the first network signal quality is less than the first threshold.
2. The terminal indicates whether the first signal quality is less than the first threshold value through the magnitude of the parameter value of the first signal quality by encapsulating the parameter value of the first signal quality in the first indication information.
In a possible example, the terminal directly encapsulates the parameter value of the first signal quality in the first indication information and sends the first indication information to the network device. After receiving the first indication information, the network device analyzes the first indication information to obtain a parameter value of first signal quality of the first communication network, compares the parameter value of the first signal quality with a first threshold value, and determines whether the first signal quality is smaller than the first threshold value.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first threshold may be determined by, but is not limited to, any one of the following manners:
1. the terminal determines the first threshold by receiving configuration information of the network device, where the configuration information configures the first threshold.
2. A terminal manufacturer sets a first threshold value in a terminal system; and the first threshold is a value agreed by the terminal and the network equipment.
In the embodiment provided by the application, after the terminal sends the first indication information to the network to inform the network device that the signal quality of the current first communication network is poor, the network device may reconfigure the network state of the terminal in order to ensure that the terminal can normally communicate, so that the terminal is disconnected from the first communication network with poor signal quality.
It can be understood that, after receiving the first indication information, the network device determines that the quality of the first communication network currently accessed by the terminal is poor, and then sends the second indication information to the terminal; and instructing the terminal to deactivate the first communication network through the second indication information. In this way, after receiving the second indication information sent by the network, the terminal deactivates the first communication network based on the second indication information, and disconnects the connection with the first communication network, that is, releases the first communication network.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the second indication information is carried in radio resource control, RRC, connection reconfiguration information. That is, the network device may instruct the terminal to release the first communication network through the RRC connection reconfiguration information.
In summary, in the screen-off state, the terminal informs the network device that the signal quality of the current first communication network is poor by sending the first indication information to the network device, so as to guide the network device to send the second indication information to the terminal, reconfigure the network of the terminal based on the second indication information, and release the first communication network; therefore, the connection of a communication network is reduced, the power consumption of the terminal is saved, and the endurance time of the terminal is prolonged.
Based on the above embodiments, in step 320, there are various specific implementation manners for the terminal to send the first indication information to the network device, and two implementation manners are described in detail below: mode one and mode two. The following were used:
in a first mode
In this embodiment of the present application, an implementation process of sending, by a terminal, first indication information to a network device is as follows:
setting a signal quality measurement of a first signal of a first communication network as a first parameter; the first parameter is less than a first threshold; and carrying the first parameter in the first indication information and sending the first parameter to the network equipment.
Here, the first Signal refers to a Reference Signal (RS) of the first communication network; the signal quality magnitude of the first signal may be indicative of a current state of the first communication network. The greater the signal quality of the first signal, the better the first communication network condition is characterized. Conversely, the smaller the signal quality of the first signal, the worse the first communication network condition is characterized.
It can be understood that when the terminal detects that the screen state is in the screen-off state, the measured value of the first signal quality is set as a first parameter; the first parameter is less than a first threshold. That is, the terminal sets the signal quality measurement value of the first signal of the current first communication network to the first parameter smaller than the first threshold value regardless of whether the signal quality measurement value of the first signal is larger than the first threshold value or smaller than the first threshold value. In this way, the first parameter indicates that the first signal quality of the current first communication network is poor, that is, the network status of the first communication network is not good. And loading the first parameter into the first indication information and sending the first parameter to the network equipment, so that the network equipment is more easily guided to reconfigure the network of the terminal, the first communication network is deactivated, and the connection of one communication network is reduced, thereby realizing the effects of saving the power consumption of the terminal and increasing the endurance time of the terminal.
In a possible implementation manner, the manner in which the terminal sets the signal quality measurement value of the first signal of the first communication network as the first parameter may include: a first parameter is obtained and used as a measure of the signal quality of the first signal.
The first parameter may be a parameter preset by the terminal, or a parameter dynamically set by the terminal based on a first threshold, or configured by the network device; as long as the first parameter is guaranteed to be smaller than the first threshold. The source of the first parameter is not limited in this embodiment.
It can be understood that, in this implementation manner, when the terminal determines that the screen state is the screen-off state, the terminal does not need to measure the signal quality of the first signal of the first communication network, directly sets the signal quality measurement value of the first signal as the first parameter, indicates that the signal quality of the first signal is poor, can reduce the processing time of the network connection, and improve the processing efficiency of the network connection.
In another implementation manner, the manner in which the terminal sets the signal quality measurement value of the first signal of the first communication network as the first parameter may include: a signal quality measurement of a first signal of the first communication network is obtained, and the signal quality measurement of the first signal of the first communication network is reduced to a first parameter.
In practical application, when a terminal just accesses a first communication network and a second communication network, the terminal can measure the signal quality of a first signal of the first communication network, a second signal of the second communication network and a signal of an adjacent cell based on measurement configuration information sent by network equipment. Here, the second signal refers to an RS of the second communication network.
In this embodiment, when the terminal detects that the screen state is the screen-off state, the terminal may obtain a signal quality measurement value of a first signal of the first communication network, modify the signal quality measurement value of the first signal, and reduce the measurement value of the first signal to be a first parameter value. That is, the reduced measurement of the signal quality of the first signal may indicate that the first signal quality of the first communication network is poor.
In practical application, the terminal generates a measurement report after detecting that the measurement values of the first signal, the second signal and the signal of the neighboring cell satisfy a certain measurement event, and reports the measurement report to the network device.
In embodiments provided herein, the first indication information may be a measurement report of a certain measurement event.
The LTE system and the NR system can support reporting of various measurement events, and specifically include the following:
event A1: the signal quality of the serving cell is above a threshold;
event A2: the signal quality of the serving cell is below a threshold;
event A3: the signal quality of the same-frequency/different-frequency neighbor cell is higher than the signal quality of the serving cell by a threshold;
event A4: the signal quality of the adjacent cell is higher than a threshold;
event A5: the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than a first threshold, and the signal quality of the neighbor cell is higher than a second threshold;
b1 event: the signal quality of the adjacent cells of different systems is higher than a threshold
B2 event: the signal quality of the serving cell is below a first threshold and the signal quality of the inter-system neighbor cells is above a second threshold.
In a possible embodiment, the first indication may be a measurement report of the a2 event. That is, the terminal indicates that the signal quality of the current first communication network is poor by reporting a measurement report of the a2 event to the network device. And, the first threshold is the threshold for judging the quality of the serving cell set in the event of a 2.
In a possible embodiment, the measurement of the first signal of the first communication network by the terminal is implemented by a terminal modem protocol layer. In the embodiment provided in this application, the terminal is implemented by performing modulation and demodulation on the first signal by the first modem shown in fig. 2.
Mode two
In this embodiment of the present application, an implementation process of sending, by a terminal, first indication information to a network device is as follows:
acquiring a second threshold; the second threshold is greater than the first threshold; and if the signal quality measurement value of the first signal of the first communication network is smaller than the second threshold value, sending the first indication information to the network equipment.
In the embodiment provided by the application, when the terminal detects that the screen state is the screen-off state, the terminal measures the signal quality of the first signal of the first communication network, and when the signal quality of the first signal is lower than a second threshold, reports first indication information to the network device to indicate that the signal quality of the first communication network is poor.
Here, the first indication information may be a measurement report corresponding to the measurement event.
In this embodiment of the application, the second threshold is greater than the first threshold, which may be understood that the threshold (i.e., the second threshold) reported by the first indication information is increased by the terminal. For example, the original terminal sends first indication information to the network device when detecting that the signal quality of the first signal is less than-110 dbm (a first threshold), indicating that the signal quality of the first signal is poor, so as to request the network device to reconfigure the network state of the terminal; however, in this embodiment of the present application, when detecting that the signal quality of the first signal is less than-90 dbm (a second threshold), the terminal reports the first indication information to the network device, indicating that the signal quality of the current first signal is already poor, and requests the network device to reconfigure the network of the terminal.
In the embodiment of the application, the threshold value reported by the first indication information is increased, so that the terminal can more easily send the first indication information to the network device, the network device is guided to send the second indication information, the network of the terminal is reconfigured, the terminal releases the first communication network, the connection of the communication network is reduced, the power consumption of the terminal is saved, and the endurance time of the terminal is increased.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second threshold may be determined by, but is not limited to, any one of the following manners:
(1) and the terminal receives the configuration information of the network equipment, and the configuration information is used for configuring a second threshold value. The configuration information may be measurement configuration information.
(2) And setting a second threshold value in the terminal system by the terminal manufacturer.
In one possible implementation, the first indication may be a measurement report of the a2 event. That is, the terminal indicates that the signal quality of the current first communication network is poor by reporting a measurement report of the a2 event to the network device. The first threshold is a threshold for judging the quality of the serving cell set in the general event a2, and the second threshold is an updated threshold for judging the quality of the serving cell.
In a possible embodiment, the measurement of the first signal of the first communication network by the terminal is implemented by a terminal modem protocol layer. In the embodiment provided in this application, the terminal is implemented by performing modulation and demodulation on the first signal by the first modem shown in fig. 2.
In one possible example, referring to fig. 4, the network connection method provided by the present application includes:
s1, the terminal acquires the screen state and the network connection state;
s2, the terminal judges whether the screen is in the screen-off state and the double-connection EN-DC state, if so, the following step S3 is executed;
s3, the terminal sends first indication information to the network equipment, and the first indication information represents the signal quality difference of the NR network;
s4, the terminal receives the second indication information sent by the network equipment, and releases the NR network based on the second indication information.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, determining the screen state of the screen may include:
detecting whether a first instruction is received; the first instruction is used for starting an intelligent connection mode with a first communication network; and if the first instruction is received, acquiring the screen state of the terminal.
Here, the first instruction is for starting an intelligent connection mode of the terminal with the first communication network. In the smart connection mode, the terminal may determine whether to connect to the first communication network based on a state in which the terminal is in. In the implementation of the application, in the intelligent connection mode, the terminal may determine whether to connect to the first communication network based on the screen state. Therefore, after the terminal receives the first instruction, the intelligent connection mode of the first communication network is started, the terminal acquires the screen state in real time under the condition of starting the intelligent connection mode of the first communication network, and whether the first communication network is connected or not is judged according to the screen state.
During specific implementation, 1) the terminal judges whether a first instruction is received; 2) if the first instruction is received, determining whether the screen state of the screen is in a screen-off state; 3) and if the mobile terminal is in the screen-off state, sending first indication information to the network equipment.
In another optional implementation manner of the present application, if the terminal receives the first instruction and the terminal is in the screen-off state, the terminal further needs to determine whether the terminal is in an EN-DC mode; specifically, 1) the terminal judges whether a first instruction is received; 2) if the first instruction is received, further judging whether the screen is in a screen-off state; 3) and if the mobile terminal is in the screen-off state, sending first indication information to the network equipment.
In one example, the first command is a command generated when the 4G/5G switch is turned on.
An embodiment of the present application provides a network connection method, as shown in fig. 5, the method includes:
