Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to an access control method and a base station.
Background
Currently, there are two deployment modes for 5G networks, namely Stand Alone (SA) networking and Non-Stand Alone (NSA) networking. In a 5G public network, there are two network structures, an SA network and an NSA network. The two may or may not be co-sited in coverage. In this context, public network refers to a common commercial network, for example, a commercial network in urban or rural areas.
The SA networking is designed based on the architecture of the 5G core network, and may be understood as a set of network standard which is rebuilt, including the 5G access network, the 5G core network and the related backhaul link. The NSA networking is based on a 4G core network, and only 5G wireless access network construction is carried out so as to realize rapid network deployment. NSA networking is typically supported by newly building 5G base stations and upgrading 4G base stations to support 5G. Under the NSA network, a dual connection may be established between the terminal and the network, where a base station in charge of a control plane in the dual connection is a control plane anchor point, and generally, the control plane anchor point is a 4G base station. For example, the terminal establishes connections with the 4G cell and the 5G cell, respectively, where the terminal establishes a primary connection with the 4G cell and an auxiliary connection with the 5G cell, and the auxiliary connection may be established by adding a new air interface (NR) auxiliary carrier to establish a connection based on the NR auxiliary carrier. Because of the difficulty of full deployment of 5G, most operators around the world choose to deploy NSA locally first and then evolve to the SA.
Based on the evolution process from NSA to SA, 5G terminals, such as mobile phones, have NSA single mode terminals supporting only the NSA mode, SA single mode terminals supporting only the SA mode, and NSA/SA dual mode terminals supporting both the NSA mode and the SA mode.
In the boundary area of the NSA network and the SA network, for the NSA single mode terminal, when it moves from the NSA network coverage area to the SA network coverage area, since it does not support the SA mode, it is equivalent to moving from the NSA network coverage area to the 4G network coverage area. In order to enable the NSA single-mode terminal to reside in the 5G network as much as possible to maintain higher rate experience, the addition and deletion thresholds of the NR secondary carrier in the existing scheme are generally set to be lower, so that the NR secondary carrier-based secondary connection is maintained as much as possible. This causes the NSA single-mode terminal to enter the SA network coverage area from the NSA network coverage area, and there still exists an NR auxiliary carrier-based auxiliary connection, and when the NSA single-mode terminal extends to a strong signal position of the SA cell in a dual-connection mode, co-channel interference with the SA cell will be generated, which affects communication performance of the terminal and the network.
In addition, there may be overlapping coverage areas in the border areas of the 4G network, the NSA network, and the SA network, for example, for the neighboring cell of the 4G cell, there may be a network scenario in which the NSA cell and the SA cell exist at the same time, that is, the 4G cell supports the NSA function and the 4/5G interoperation function at the same time. When an NSA/SA dual-mode terminal enters a 5G network from a 4G network, the prior scheme can not ensure that the NSA/SA dual-mode terminal is preferentially accessed to the SA network.

The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or configuration set forth in the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements discussed without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. For example, the described methods may be performed in an order different than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.
As described in the background art, in the boundary area between the NSA network and the SA network in the prior art, when an NSA single-mode terminal enters the SA network coverage area from the NSA network coverage area, the NSA single-mode terminal may still carry an NR-based auxiliary carrier, so that co-channel interference is generated with an SA cell, and communication performance of the terminal and the network is affected.
To avoid this, if the NR secondary carrier deletion threshold is simply increased (so that the secondary carrier of the terminal is released more easily), and accordingly the NR secondary carrier addition threshold is also increased, the NR secondary carrier is released in advance at any position of the NSA cell even if the terminal moves in a direction away from the SA network due to the increase of the threshold, thereby resulting in a serious degradation of the user experience. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the number of the existing network stations is large, and in the initial stage of network construction, the networking environment is constantly changed, the NSA cell threshold adjacent to the SA cell is modified, and great workload is brought to network optimization and maintenance work. It can be seen that, in the prior art, the method for reducing the interference between the NSA and the SA boundary by optimizing the parameter configuration for adding and deleting the secondary carriers of the nsar has the problem of affecting the experience of the NSA user in the whole cell.
In order to solve at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an access control method, which can improve communication performance of a terminal and a network, and particularly, effectively improve communication performance of an NSA single-mode terminal at a boundary between an NSA network and an SA network, improve user experience of the network, and simplify optimization and maintenance work of the network.
Some concepts involved herein are first presented below.
Herein, the access capability of the terminal includes:
1) a cell supporting a first network can be accessed.
The terminal may now access a cell supporting the first network but may not access a cell supporting the second network.
2) A cell supporting the second network can be accessed.
The terminal may now access a cell supporting the second network but may not access a cell supporting the first network.
3) A cell supporting a first network and a second network can be accessed.
At this time, the terminal may access a cell supporting the first network, and may also access a cell supporting the second network.
Herein, the first network operates in a first frequency band. The second network includes cells operating in a first frequency band and cells operating in a second frequency band. When accessing a cell supporting a second network, the terminal may establish a dual connection with the second network, including a first connection and a second connection, where the first connection operates in the first frequency band.
Taking the prior art NSA network and SA network as an example, the first network may be an SA network, and the second network may be an NSA network. The first connection may be a secondary connection established between the terminal and the NSA network on a secondary carrier, and the second connection may be a primary connection established between the terminal and the NSA network. The terminal capable of accessing the cell supporting the first network is an SA single mode terminal, the terminal capable of accessing the cell supporting the second network is an NSA single mode terminal, and the terminal capable of accessing the cells supporting the first network and the second network is an NSA/SA dual mode terminal. It should be noted that the first network and the second network according to the embodiment of the present invention are not limited to the SA network and the NSA network, and only the foregoing description needs to be satisfied.
Referring to fig. 1, an access control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a base station, and includes:
Here, the access capability of the first terminal is: supporting access to cells of the second network. The first network and the first connection both operate in a first frequency band. The first terminal is connected to a second network through a first connection and a second connection, the second connection works in a second frequency band, and the second frequency band is different from the first frequency band. The base station is a base station to which a cell corresponding to the second connection belongs.
Through the above steps, when the first terminal accesses the second network through the first connection and the second connection, if a measurement report carrying a cell only supporting the first network and reported by the first terminal is received, it indicates that the first terminal detects a neighboring cell only supporting the first network and having a stronger signal quality, and at this time, the first connection of the first terminal and the first network both work in the first frequency band and will generate a relatively serious co-frequency interference with each other.
Before step 11, the base station may further receive a measurement report sent by the first terminal, and then perform step 11 when the measurement report includes a cell supporting only the first network.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station may further send a measurement control message to the first terminal, where the measurement control message is used to configure the first terminal to perform measurement on the first frequency band of the first connection operation, so as to implement configuration of measurement reporting for the terminal.
Considering that the mobile speed of the terminal is usually limited and the network environment in which the terminal is located changes relatively slowly, the first terminal is likely to be in the same network environment for a period of time after sending the first indication message, and in order to avoid the situation of repeatedly deleting and adding the first connection, after sending the first indication message, the base station may start a timer to start timing, and before the timer expires, the first terminal is no longer instructed to establish the first connection with the second network. Here, the timeout time of the timer may be set according to the moving speed of the first terminal, and is generally inversely related to the moving speed of the first terminal, i.e., the greater the moving speed, the smaller the timeout time. In addition, the timeout time of the timer may also be set with reference to a radius of a cell supporting only the first network, and the timeout time is positively correlated with the radius, for example, the larger the radius, the larger the timeout time.
The measurement report sent by the terminal usually carries a neighbor Cell Identifier, such as a Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) of a Cell, and in order to facilitate identifying a network support condition of a certain Cell, in the embodiment of the present invention, a Cell attribute of the Cell may be preconfigured at the base station side, where the Cell attribute specifically may include: a cell supporting only the first network, a cell supporting only the second network, and a cell supporting both the first network and the second network. Taking SA network (first network) and NSA network (second network) as an example, for each PCI cell, the base station identifies in the neighbor configuration that the cell is a cell supporting only NSA network, a cell supporting only SA network, and a cell supporting both SA network and NSA network.
In addition, the base station may further receive terminal capability information sent by the first terminal, where the terminal capability information is at least used to indicate access capability of the first terminal, and the access capability includes: a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the first network, a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the second network, a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the first network and the second network.
In the step 11, when the access capability of the first terminal is a cell supporting access to the second network, if the measurement report reported by the first terminal includes a cell only supporting the first network, a first indication message for releasing the first connection in the dual connectivity is sent to the first terminal, so that co-channel interference between the first connection and the first network can be avoided or reduced.
Based on the above method, an apparatus for implementing the above method will be further provided below.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a base station 20 shown in fig. 2, including:

and sending a first indication message for releasing a first connection in dual-connection to the first terminal under the condition that a measurement report reported by the first terminal comprises cells only supporting a first network.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when being executed by the processor 301, the computer program can implement the processes of the access control method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and can achieve the same technical effects, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.

In the device, the transceiver 302 and the memory 303, and the transceiver 302 and the processor 301 may be communicatively connected through a bus interface, and the functions of the processor 301 may also be implemented by the transceiver 302, and the functions of the transceiver 302 may also be implemented by the processor 301. It should be noted that, the apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present invention can implement all the method steps implemented by the method embodiment and achieve the same technical effect, and detailed descriptions of the same parts and beneficial effects as the method embodiment in this embodiment are omitted here.
In some embodiments of the invention, there is also provided a computer readable storage medium having a program stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, performs the steps of:
and sending a first indication message for releasing a first connection in dual-connection to the first terminal under the condition that a measurement report reported by the first terminal comprises cells only supporting a first network.
When executed by the processor, the program can implement all implementation manners in the access control method of fig. 1, and can achieve the same technical effect, and is not described herein again to avoid repetition.
As described in the background art, when the NSA/SA dual mode terminal in the prior art enters the 5G network from the 4G network, the prior art cannot guarantee that the NSA/SA dual mode terminal has a priority access to the SA network. In the prior art, a base station generally issues a pilot frequency measurement control message based on adding an NR secondary carrier and a inter-system measurement control message based on interoperation at the same time. Generally, the measurement reporting condition of interoperation to the SA network is stricter than that of adding the NR secondary carrier. However, since the measurement control message itself does not distinguish between the NSA and the SA, the terminal directly performs measurement and report according to the received measurement control message, and does not distinguish between different measurement control messages and cells, so the terminal usually accesses to the 5G network that performs measurement and report first, and thus it cannot be guaranteed that the terminal preferentially accesses the SA network that can provide better communication performance from the 4G cell.
In order to solve at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an access control method, which is applied to a base station, and can improve the probability that a terminal preferentially accesses a certain target network and improve the communication performance of the terminal. Referring to fig. 4, the method includes:
Here, please refer to the above description for the description of the first network and the second network, which is not described herein again. The first cell and the second cell work in a first frequency band, the base station comprises a third cell supporting a second network, a first connection is established between the first terminal and the third cell, and the working frequency band of the third cell is different from the first frequency band.
Through the steps, the embodiment of the invention can control the terminal to preferentially access the first cell supporting the first network in a certain time period, even if the terminal receives the measurement report containing the second cell firstly, thus ensuring that the terminal preferentially accesses a better cell when the first cell has better communication performance, improving the communication performance of the terminal and improving the use experience of a user on the network.
Specifically, in step 41, the base station may control the terminal to preferentially access the first cell according to the following manner.
For example, the base station receives the second measurement report first, that is, the base station does not receive the first measurement report when receiving the second measurement report, and at this time, the base station starts a timer after receiving the second measurement report sent by the first terminal. Before the timer is overtime, if the first measurement report sent by the first terminal is received, the first terminal is switched or redirected to the first cell. Therefore, the base station can be ensured to wait for the measurement report of the first cell even if the measurement report of the second cell is received within a preset time, and the base station can be preferentially accessed to the first cell after receiving the measurement report of the first cell.
Considering that the base station may not receive the first measurement report when the timer expires, the base station may instruct the first terminal to establish the second connection with the second cell according to the second measurement report. In this case, there are two connections between the first terminal and the network, respectively a first connection with the third cell and a second connection with the second cell. The base station is a base station to which the third cell belongs. As an implementation manner, when the second network is an NSA network, the first terminal may establish a primary connection with a 4G cell supporting the NSA network and establish a second connection with a 5G cell supporting the NSA network.
In addition, in this embodiment of the present invention, the base station may further send a first measurement control message and a second measurement control message to the first terminal, where the first measurement control message is used to configure the first terminal to measure on the first frequency band based on a first threshold, and the second measurement control message is used to configure the first terminal to measure on the first frequency band based on a second threshold. That is, the base station configures the first terminal to perform measurement and reporting on the same frequency band (the first frequency band) based on different reporting thresholds.
Here, the signal quality requirement of the first threshold on the cell is higher than the signal quality requirement of the second threshold on the cell. The base station supports establishing dual connectivity between the terminal and the second network, and supports handover or redirection of the terminal from a cell supporting the second network to a cell supporting the first network. For example, the first threshold is an interoperability threshold for a cell supporting the first network; the second threshold adds a threshold for a secondary carrier of a cell supporting the second network.
And switching or redirecting the terminal to the first cell supporting the first network, because the base station may receive the first measurement report and the second measurement report at the same time or the base station does not receive the second measurement report when receiving the first measurement report.
In this embodiment, the access capability of the first terminal is: a cell supporting the first network and a second network can be accessed. Before step 41, the base station may further receive terminal capability information sent by the first terminal, where the terminal capability information is at least used to indicate access capability of the first terminal, and the access capability includes: a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the first network, a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the second network, a cell capable of accessing a cell supporting the first network and the second network. And then, under the condition that the first terminal can access the cells supporting the first network and the second network, sending the first measurement control message and the second measurement control message to the first terminal, so that the network can issue measurement configuration based on different thresholds aiming at the dual-mode terminal, and control the dual-mode terminal to preferentially access the target cell according to the measurement report, thereby improving the communication performance of the terminal and improving the use experience of the user on the network.
Based on the above method, an apparatus for implementing the above method will be further provided below.
