Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention.

In order to facilitate understanding of those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a plurality of implementations for clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments provided in the present disclosure can be implemented alone, or in combination with other embodiments of the methods in the present disclosure, or in combination with some methods in other related technologies; the disclosed embodiments are not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 1, this embodiment provides a cell control method for a terminal, where the method includes:

s110: determining whether the switching times of the terminal between a first type cell and a second type cell in a preset time length reach a switching threshold value or not according to a cell switching record of the terminal in the preset time length; the first type cell and the second type cell are different system cells;

s120: if the switching times reach a switching threshold value, determining the cell switching scene type of the terminal according to the cells related to the first cell and the second cell which are switched by the terminal for multiple times within the preset time length;

s130: and executing the cell switching control operation of the cell switching scene of the corresponding type according to the cell switching scene type.

Here, the terminal may be a user equipment UE, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, and the like. The cell is a service area that provides resources such as a wireless communication network for the terminal through a device such as a base station, and is used for the terminal to access for performing terminal service processing, for example, the cell may include an SA cell or an LTE cell.

In one embodiment, as a 5G independent networking (SA) technology starts to be widely deployed, a core network and an access network thereof are completely independent from a 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, and can access the 5G SA network without support of LTE. Although this provides a better 5G service experience, it also causes a series of problems. For example, SA/LTE inter-system handover is becoming more and more problematic due to poor network optimization. Not only the SA/LTE inter-system handover in a dynamic scenario, but also the inter-system handover is likely to occur in a static scenario. The inter-system handover between the SA and the LTE base station may cause additional delay and even cause current interruption.

Compared to the 4G era, where the UE is mostly on 4G LTE, inter-system handover occurs only rarely. In the 5G SA era, network deployment of SA is not yet mature, and network deployment of LTE is very mature. Coverage, performance, etc. in the early SA stage cannot be compared with LTE, which results in a simple inter-system handover strategy that cannot meet the requirements.

As shown in fig. 2, there are generally two states for a UE. The first state is static, i.e. the user equipment UE will only be stationary or moving to a very small extent around position 1. The second state is dynamic, i.e., the UE will move from location 1 to location 2. In this scenario, the coverage of the SA and LTE base stations exists at the same time, and the SA and LTE base stations configure different system measurement configurations. The UE measures the different systems no matter whether the UE is in a static state or a dynamic state, and reports the measurement result. And simultaneously, switching to the corresponding cell according to the instruction of the base station side. In a static state, due to the fact that the inter-system measurement configuration is abnormal, the UE may frequently switch between the LTE base station and the SA base station in the static state. In a dynamic situation, due to high-speed movement and changes in SA and LTE coverage, switching between SA and LTE is also frequently performed. Based on this, frequent inter-system switching may cause problems such as more time delay and interruption to the normal service process of the UE.

In one embodiment, the first type of cell and the second type of cell are inter-system cells, i.e. different types of communication networks are provided. The first-type cell and the second-type cell use different communication systems, different system frequency bands, different communication technologies, and the like.

For example, the first type of cell may be a 5G network cell and the second type of cell may be a 4G network cell. For example, the first type of cell may be an SA cell, the second type of cell may be an LTE cell, and the like. The number of handovers may represent a cell handover situation of the terminal, for example, a handover of the terminal from an SA cell to an LTE cell, or a handover from an LTE cell to an SA cell, which may be denoted as a handover.

Also for example, the first type of cell may also be a 4G cell, while the second type of cell may be a 3G cell.

In an embodiment, the preset time duration may be a time duration set according to a cell switching frequency of the terminal, a location change condition of the terminal, or a communication quality requirement of the terminal, and may be, for example, 30s, or 60s, or 2min, or 5 min. For example, the preset time period may be inversely related to the terminal cell switching frequency in the first time period, for example, the higher the terminal cell switching frequency in 1 day, the shorter the preset time period may be set. Therefore, the cell switching times within the preset time can be reduced, and the working efficiency of the cell control of the terminal is improved.

For example, the preset time period may also be determined according to the position change condition of the terminal in the second time period, and may include that the preset time period is inversely related to the movement speed of the terminal in the second time period. For example, the higher the movement speed of the terminal is determined from the terminal position information within 1 hour, the shorter the preset time period can be set. Therefore, the cell change times in the preset time can be reduced, and the control accuracy is improved.

For example, the preset duration may also be determined according to the communication quality requirement of the terminal, and may include that the preset duration is inversely related to the bandwidth required by the terminal for communication. For example, the higher the system bandwidth required by the terminal in the third period, the shorter the preset time period can be set.

In an embodiment, the cell switching record of the terminal within the preset time duration may be obtained through an operation log of the terminal, and the like. The switching threshold may be a fixed value, and may be, for example, 3 times, 5 times, or the like. The handover threshold may also be determined according to a cell handover record in a preset duration, for example, the handover threshold may be positively correlated with a cell handover frequency of the terminal in the preset duration. Therefore, when the switching times reach the switching threshold, it can be considered that the switching between the inter-system cells of the terminal is frequent within the preset time, and there is a need to control the cell switching.

In an embodiment, if the number of times of handover reaches the handover threshold, the cells related to the first type cell and the second type cell that the terminal switches for multiple times within the preset time duration may be the first type cell and the second type cell that all the times of handover within the preset time duration relate to, or the first type cell and the second type cell that the number of times of handover corresponding to the closest handover threshold from the current time within the preset time duration relate to.

For example, when the handover threshold is 3 times and the number of handovers in the preset duration is 5 times, the cells related to the first cell type and the second cell type that are handed over by the terminal for multiple times in the preset duration may be the cells related to the first cell type and the second cell type in 5 handovers, or may be the cells related to the first cell type and the second cell type in 3 handovers closest to the current time.

If the switching between the first type cell and the second type cell within the preset time reaches the threshold of times, it indicates that the UE is currently located in the common coverage area of the first type cell and the second type cell.

In one embodiment, the cell switching scene type determined based on the cells involved in the first type cell and the second type cell which are switched by the terminal for multiple times can be used for characterizing the motion state of the terminal.

For example, in the first type of cells, that is, SA cells, which are switched by the terminal within the preset time duration, the SA cells switched for multiple times are all the same cells, and/or the LTE cells switched for multiple times are all the same cells, which indicates that the terminal does not move to other SA cells and/or LTE cells within the preset time duration, it may be determined that the cell switching scenario type is a static scenario representing a static motion state or a small-range motion. Correspondingly, if the SA cells switched for multiple times within the preset time duration are not the same cell and/or the LTE cells switched for multiple times within the preset time duration are not the same cell, it may be determined that the cell switching scene type is a dynamic scene representing that the motion state is cross-cell motion.

Here, determining the cell switching scene type of the terminal according to the cells related to the first type cell and the second type cell that the terminal switches for multiple times within the preset time period may include determining the cell switching scene type of the terminal according to the number of different cells related to the first type cell and the second type cell that the terminal switches for multiple times within the preset time period.

Therefore, the determined cell switching scene type can better represent that the motion state of the terminal belongs to a dynamic scene or a static scene based on the cells related to the first type cell and the second type cell to which the terminal is switched within the preset time length, so that a more accurate reference basis is provided for cell switching control operation.

In one embodiment, S130 may include: and executing cell switching control operation corresponding to the type of the cell switching scene according to the cell switching scene type and the current resident cell type of the terminal, or according to the cell switching scene type and the current resident cell communication quality of the terminal.

The cell switching control operation herein is at least for reducing the number of times the terminal switches between the first type cell and the second type cell.

In an embodiment, reducing the number of times that the terminal switches between the first type cell and the second type cell may be implemented in various ways, for example, a function of closing the terminal to access the certain type cell is turned off, or a threshold for determining that the signal quality of the certain type cell is good is raised, so as to reduce the frequency of triggering cell switching when the signal quality of the different system cell is detected to be good.

In one embodiment, the cell switching control operation performed in S130 may be a cell switching control operation performed for a certain period of time. For example, the access function of the first-type cell and/or the second-type cell of the terminal is closed for a certain time, or a measurement event for triggering measurement and/or handover of the inter-system cell is stopped reporting for a certain time, and the like.

Here, the duration for performing the cell switching control operation may be determined according to the number of times that the terminal is switched between the first type cell and the second type cell within a preset duration, and/or the communication quality of the first type cell and the second type cell to which the terminal is switched within the preset duration.

Therefore, under the condition that the inter-system cell switching of the terminal is determined to be frequent, the cell access condition of the terminal within the preset time can be more accurately represented according to the cell switching scene type determined by the cell involved in the cell switching of the terminal, and the motion state of the terminal within the preset time can be further reflected. On the basis, the corresponding cell switching control operation is executed for the terminals in different motion states, so that the flexibility and the accuracy can be effectively improved, and the more targeted switching control operation is adopted for the terminals in different state scenes. Therefore, unnecessary cell switching can be reduced, and the reliability of terminal cell switching control and the stability of terminal service progress can be improved.

It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, the methods provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

As shown in fig. 3, the S120 may include:

s121: after the switching times reach a switching threshold value, if the times of switching the first type of cell to the first cell for multiple times within the preset time length reach a first time number and the times of switching the second type of cell to the second cell for multiple times within the preset time length reach a second time number, determining that the cell switching scene type of the terminal is a first scene type;

s122: and after the switching times reach a switching threshold value, if the times of switching the first cell to the first cell for multiple times in the preset time duration do not reach the first times, and/or if the times of switching the second cell to the second cell for multiple times in the preset time duration do not reach the second times, determining that the cell switching scene type of the terminal is the second scene type.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type cell of the multiple handovers may be the first type cell involved in the multiple handovers. When the number of times that the first-class cell is switched for multiple times is equal to a first time number, the representation terminal is always or more in the first cell when being accessed to the first-class cell in the movement process within the preset time length, and at this time, the terminal can be considered to be in the first scene type. The same is true for the determination based on the second number. Therefore, the first scene type may represent a static scene in which the motion state of the terminal within the preset duration is a static state or a small-range motion, and the second scene type may represent a dynamic scene in which the motion state of the terminal within the preset duration is a dynamic scene in which there is much cross-cell motion.

In one embodiment, the first number and the second number may be determined according to the number of handovers within a preset time period and/or a handover threshold. For example, when a cell is handed over from a cell a to a cell B in a cell handover, the cell a that resides before the handover is a source cell, and the cell B that resides after the handover is a target cell. The cells related to the first type cell or the second type cell which are switched for multiple times within the preset time length comprise a source cell and a target cell. Therefore, the first number may be less than or equal to the number of switching times within the preset time period, and the second number may also be less than or equal to the number of switching times within the preset time period.

In an embodiment, the number of times that the first type cell that is handed over for multiple times within the preset duration is the first cell may be the number of times that a target cell in the first type cell that is involved in the multiple handovers within the preset duration is the first cell, or may be the number of times that a source cell in the first type cell that is involved in the multiple handovers within the preset duration is the first cell.

In an embodiment, the number of times that the second type cell of the multiple handovers within the preset duration is the second cell may be the number of times that the target cell in the second type cell involved in the multiple handovers within the preset duration is the second cell, or may also be the number of times that the source cell in the second type cell involved in the multiple handovers within the preset duration is the second cell. In one embodiment, the first number of times and/or the second number of times may be a fixed value, such as 3 times, 5 times, etc.

In one embodiment, the first number and/or the second number may be determined according to a preset time duration, for example, the first number and/or the second number may be positively correlated with the preset time duration.

In an embodiment, when the cells related to the first cell type and the second cell type that are switched by the terminal for multiple times within the preset duration are the first cell type and the second cell type that are related to the number of times corresponding to the switching threshold value that is closest to the current time within the preset duration, the first number of times and/or the second number of times may also be determined according to the switching threshold value. For example, the first number of times and the second number of times may both be less than or equal to the handover threshold.

In an embodiment, determining a cell handover scenario type of the terminal according to cells related to the first cell and the second cell that are handed over by the terminal for multiple times within the preset time length may further include: and if the first type of cells related to the multiple times of switching of the terminal in the preset time length are the first cells for N times continuously, and/or if the second type of cells related to the multiple times of switching in the preset time length are the second cells for N times continuously, determining that the cell switching scene type of the terminal is the first scene type.

Wherein N is a positive integer, and N may be determined according to the first number and/or the second number. For example, N +1 is equal to the first number of times, and if the first type of cell that the terminal switches for multiple times within the preset duration is the first cell for N consecutive times, the continuous change degree of the terminal position may be considered to be low, and the terminal position may be considered to be in a static scene.

In an embodiment, the first number may also be determined according to the number of times of switching to the first type of cell within a preset time duration, and/or the second number may also be determined according to the number of times of switching to the second type of cell within the preset time duration. For example, the first number may be equal to the number of times of switching to the first type of cell within a preset time period, and the second number may be equal to the number of times of switching to the second type of cell within the preset time period.

Illustratively, the number of handovers within the preset duration is 5, where the number of handovers to the first type of cell within the preset duration is 3, and the number of handovers to the second type of cell is 2. In this case, the first number may be 3 times, and the second number may be 2 times.

Therefore, the first times and the second times can be used for measuring whether different cells exist in the same type of cells accessed by the terminal within the preset time length, so that the motion state of the terminal can be accurately reflected. The method can be used for executing different cell control operations based on cell switching scenes corresponding to different motion states.

In some embodiments, the S130 may include:

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one event type for triggering the terminal to perform cell handover may include at least one measurement event for triggering inter-system cell measurement and/or handover, for example, an a2 measurement event, a B1 measurement event, and the like. For a terminal in a first scene type, i.e. a static scene, since the motion state of the terminal is static or small-range motion, the terminal may continuously measure the cell communication quality and report a related measurement event based on the measurement result. Therefore, it is necessary to control the terminal to report the measurement event, thereby reducing unnecessary inter-system cell handover performed by the terminal.

In an embodiment, the suspending triggering the reporting of the at least one event type for cell handover by the terminal may be suspending the reporting of the at least one event type for cell handover by the terminal according to the communication quality of the cell where the terminal currently resides.

For example, when at least one of communication parameters, such as system bandwidth, Signal-to-noise ratio, Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), and the like, of a cell in which the terminal currently resides satisfies a preset condition, at least one event type that triggers the terminal to perform cell handover is suspended from reporting. Therefore, the communication quality of the current resident cell is monitored, the measurement event report of the terminal is reasonably controlled, the measurement event report of the terminal and the measurement and switching of the inter-system cell triggered further can be more reasonable, and unnecessary cell switching is reduced.

In an embodiment, the reporting of the at least one event type that triggers the terminal to perform the cell handover may be suspended, or the reporting of the at least one event type that triggers the terminal to perform the cell handover in the cell of the type may be suspended according to a reporting control policy corresponding to the type of the cell in which the terminal currently resides.

For example, when the current resident cell of the terminal is a first-class cell, determining a reporting threshold corresponding to the first-class cell and a corresponding measurement event according to a reporting control strategy corresponding to the first-class cell; and when the RSRP of the first type cell where the terminal resides currently reaches the corresponding reporting threshold value, the reporting of the corresponding measurement event is suspended.

Therefore, different reporting control strategies are adopted for the current resident cells of different types of terminals, the accuracy and flexibility of event reporting control and cell switching control can be further improved, and unnecessary cell switching can be better reduced.

In an embodiment, for a terminal in a second scenario type, that is, in a dynamic scenario, since a motion state is a wide range of fast motion, in a scenario of inter-system handover based on different cells of the same system, the terminal may frequently generate frequent cell handover based on changes in coverage of SA, LTE, and the like in the dynamic scenario.

Therefore, compared with the control of the reporting of the measurement event, the access function of the first-class cell and/or the second-class cell is selected to be closed in the dynamic scene, and unnecessary frequent cell switching generated by the terminal can be reduced more quickly and efficiently.

In one embodiment, turning off at least one of the first-type cell access function and the second-type cell access function of the terminal may include turning off the first-type cell access and/or the second-type cell access of the terminal based on a type of a cell in which the terminal currently camps and/or communication parameters. For example, if the RSRP of the current cell where the terminal resides and the like reach the preset conditions corresponding to the type of the current cell where the terminal resides, the access function of another type of cell different from the current cell where the terminal resides is turned off. For example, if the RSRP of the current cell where the terminal resides and the like reach the preset condition corresponding to the type of the current cell where the terminal resides, the method may include: the RSRP of the current resident cell of the terminal is higher than the RSRP lower limit value corresponding to the type of the current resident cell, which indicates that the communication quality of the current resident cell of the terminal is good, and the access function of the different system cell can be closed at the moment without switching the different system cell. In this way, the number of cell handovers can be reduced by turning off the cell access.

In one embodiment, turning off at least one of the first-type cell access function and the second-type cell access function of the terminal may include turning off the first-type cell access function and/or the second-type cell access function of the terminal based on the communication parameters of the cell in which the terminal currently resides and/or the current service communication quality requirement of the terminal.

In an embodiment, turning off at least one of the first-class cell and the second-class cell access function of the terminal may also include turning off the first-class cell access function and/or the second-class cell access function of the terminal for a first duration, where the first duration may be determined according to a type of a cell in which the terminal currently camps and/or RSRP. For example, the first type cell and/or the second type cell of the terminal are/is switched off for 5 min.

Therefore, the frequency of switching the cells of different systems can be reduced within a certain time, the service stability is ensured, the long-term influence of closing the cell access on other service processes of the terminal can be reduced, and the reliability of the whole service process of the terminal is improved.

In an embodiment, turning off at least one of the first-type cell and the second-type cell access function of the terminal may further include turning off the first-type cell access function of the terminal for a second duration, and/or turning off the second-type cell access function of the terminal for a third duration, where the second duration and/or the third duration may be determined according to a type of a cell in which the terminal currently camps and/or a communication parameter.

In an embodiment, the second duration and/or the third duration may be further determined according to at least one of a number of times of handover between the first cell type and the second cell type within a preset duration of the terminal, a first difference between the number of times of handover of the first cell and the first number of times within the preset duration, and a second difference between the number of times of handover of the second cell and the second number of times within the preset duration. Therefore, the time length for closing the access functions of the first-class cell and the second-class cell can be fully related to the switching frequency of the inter-system cells of the terminal, so that the pertinence of the switching control of the terminal cells is improved.

Therefore, different cell control operations are adopted for the terminal under different dynamic and static scenes, the cell switching requirements under different scenes can be met more pertinently, and the different system cell switching of the terminal can be controlled more flexibly.

In some embodiments, the suspending reporting of the at least one event type triggering the terminal to perform cell handover includes:

or,

In this disclosure, taking the first-class cell as an SA cell as an example, the first event corresponding to the first-class cell may be an a2 event for triggering the terminal to switch from the SA cell to the LTE cell.

In one embodiment, the measurement of the a2 event may be suspended for terminals in SA cells in a static scenario. For example, the measurement of the a2 event is stopped for a certain time duration, and the terminal does not measure and report the a2 event within the time duration, so that the inter-system cell handover triggered by the reporting of the measurement event is reduced. Here, the a2 event may be one of the aforementioned first events.

In one embodiment, the first reporting condition of the first event may be that the measurement is started and the inter-system cell is switched to when the communication quality of the currently camped cell is lower than a threshold value. For a terminal in an SA cell in a static scenario, the reporting operation of an a2 event may also be masked when it is detected that the communication quality of the currently camped cell meets the a2 event reporting condition within a certain time period. For example, after it is determined that the cell handover scenario is the first scenario type and the current camped cell is the first category cell, reporting of the a2 event may be stopped when it is detected that the first RSRP of the current camped cell is lower than the threshold corresponding to the a2 event reporting condition within 5 min.

In an embodiment, the step of masking the reporting operation of the first event when the cell signal quality of the currently camped cell meets the reporting condition may include determining whether the cell signal quality meets the masking condition when the cell signal quality of the currently camped cell meets the reporting condition; and if the cell signal quality meets the shielding condition, shielding the reporting operation of the first event.

Here, the shielding condition may be used to determine whether the cell signal quality of the currently camped cell may support the traffic of the terminal, for example, the shielding condition may include a lower limit value of the cell RSRP. If the first RSRP of the current resident cell is higher than the lower limit value, shielding the reporting operation of the first event; and if the first RSRP of the current resident cell is lower than or equal to the lower limit value, continuing to report the first event.

Therefore, for the terminal in the SA cell under the static scene, the cell switching of the terminal can be comprehensively and efficiently controlled by completely shielding the measurement of the first event or shielding the reporting operation when the reporting condition of the first event is met, and the unnecessary cell switching triggered by the reporting of the measurement event is reduced.

In some embodiments, the operation of reporting to mask the first event when the cell signal quality of the currently camped cell satisfies the reporting condition includes:

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the first-class cell as an SA cell as an example, the terminal in a static scene may report an a2 event in the SA cell, so as to trigger measurement and handover of an LTE cell when RSRP of the SA cell meets a certain condition. Therefore, for the terminal in the SA cell, when meeting the a2 event reporting condition, the trigger sensitivity of a2 measurement event reporting is reduced by further determining the threshold value of RSRP, thereby reducing the frequency of switching to the LTE cell. Meanwhile, reporting the report information of the first event when the RSRP is higher than the second threshold value can better reduce the signal quality of the current resident cell from being poor, and the terminal still can not switch the different system cells in time to cause the inefficient service processing.

Here, the report information of the first event may be the first event that needs to be reported, or other report information indicating that inter-system cell measurement is started, where the report information may carry information such as identification information of the terminal and/or RSRP of the currently camped cell.

In an embodiment, the operation of shielding reporting information of the first event may be to suspend reporting of the reporting information of the first event for a fourth time, for example, suspend for 1 min. The fourth time duration may be determined according to a third difference between the first RSRP and the second threshold, for example, the fourth time duration is positively correlated with the third difference between the first RSRP and the second threshold.

In one embodiment, the second Threshold is an RSRP lower limit corresponding to the SA cell, and is represented by Threshold _ SA _ RSRP, and when the first RSRP of the SA cell, i.e., Service _ RSRP > Threshold _ SA _ RSRP, is greater, it may be considered that the communication quality of the SA cell where the terminal currently resides is better, and cell handover is not required. Thus, the reporting information of the first event reported, for example, the a2 measurement event, is masked at this time.

In one embodiment, the second threshold value may be preset according to actual requirements and the like. For example, the second threshold may be determined based on terminal communication quality requirements and/or RSRP of cells of the first class that the terminal has historically accessed. For example, the second threshold may be an average RSRP value of a first type of cell that the terminal has historically accessed within a preset time period, and the like.

Therefore, when the terminal in the static scene resides in the first-class cell, based on the comparison between the RSRP of the first-class cell and the second threshold value, when the currently residing first-class cell is determined to have good communication quality, reporting of the report information of the corresponding first event can be suspended, and unnecessary inter-system cell switching is reduced.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

Here, when the first RSRP is lower than or equal to the second threshold, the signal quality of the currently camped cell is too poor, and report information of the first event needs to be reported to trigger inter-system cell handover. The report information may include a current measurement event, for example, a first event, an instruction indicating to start inter-system cell measurement, and identification information of the terminal, and may also include a type of a cell where the terminal currently resides and/or a first RSRP of the currently residing cell.

In one embodiment, if the first RSRP is lower than or equal to the second threshold, report information of the first event may be reported, and the RSRP of the second type cell may be measured; and determining whether to switch the cell based on the RSRP of the second type cell.

In an embodiment, if the first RSRP is lower than or equal to the second threshold and the difference between the first RSRP and the second threshold reaches the preset value, it may be considered that the communication quality of the currently camped cell is sufficiently poor, and the report information of the first event is reported.

Therefore, when the RSRP of the current resident cell is lower than the second threshold value, the communication quality of the current resident cell can be considered to be incapable of supporting the terminal service, the report of the report information of the first event is not shielded at the moment, the stable operation of the terminal service can be facilitated, and the negative influence caused by the fact that the terminal continuously resides in the cell with poor communication quality and cannot be switched is reduced.

or,

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the second type of cell as an LTE cell as an example, the second event corresponding to the second type of cell may include: a B1 event for triggering handover of the terminal from the LTE cell to a first type of cell, e.g., an SA cell.

In one embodiment, for a terminal in an LTE cell in a static scenario, measurement or reporting of a B1 event may be suspended. For example, the B1 event measurement is stopped for a certain duration, so that the terminal does not measure and report the B1 event within the duration, and the inter-system cell handover triggered by reporting the measurement event is reduced.

In one embodiment, the second reporting condition of the second event is to trigger inter-system cell handover when the measured communication quality of the inter-system cell is higher than a threshold value. For a terminal in an LTE cell in a static scenario, the reporting operation of a B1 event may also be shielded when the communication quality of the first type cell is measured to meet the B1 event reporting condition within a certain time period. For example, after it is determined that the cell handover scenario is the first scenario type and the current camped cell is the second type cell, when the RSRP of the first type cell measured within 5min is higher than the threshold corresponding to the reporting condition of the B1 event, the reporting of the B1 event may be masked.

In an embodiment, the operation of shielding reporting of the second event when the measured cell signal quality of the first type cell meets the reporting condition may include determining whether the signal quality of the currently camped cell and/or the cell signal quality of the first type cell meets the shielding condition when the measured cell signal quality of the first type cell meets the reporting condition; and if the shielding condition is met, shielding the reporting operation of the second event.

Here, the shielding condition may be used to determine whether the cell signal quality of the currently camped cell may support the traffic of the terminal, for example, the shielding condition may include a lower limit value of the RSRP of the currently camped cell and/or an upper limit value of the RSRP of the first type cell. And if the first RSRP of the current resident cell is higher than the lower limit value and the second RSRP of the first class cell is lower than the upper limit value, indicating that the current resident cell can support the terminal service without being switched to the first class cell, and shielding the report of the second event.

Therefore, for the terminal in the LTE cell under the static scene, the cell switching of the terminal can be comprehensively and efficiently controlled by completely shielding the measurement of the second event or shielding the reporting operation when the reporting condition of the second event is met, and unnecessary cell switching triggered by the reporting of the measurement event is reduced.

In some embodiments, the operation of reporting to block the second event when the measured cell signal quality of the first type of cell meets the reporting condition includes:

when the measured second RSRP of the first-class cell is higher than a third threshold value indicated by a reporting condition, comparing the second RSRP with a fourth threshold value corresponding to the first-class cell; the fourth threshold is higher than the third threshold;

In this disclosure, taking the second type of cell as an LTE cell as an example, the terminal in a static scenario may report a B1 measurement event in the LTE cell, so as to trigger a handover to the SA cell when a first RSRP of the LTE cell and a second RSRP of the measured SA cell satisfy a certain condition.

In one embodiment, the fourth threshold is an RSRP upper limit corresponding to the SA cell, and the fourth threshold is greater than the second threshold. The operation of shielding reporting information of the second event may be to suspend reporting of the reporting information of the second event for a fifth time period, for example, suspend for 1 min. The fifth time duration may be determined according to a fourth difference between the first RSRP and a fifth threshold, and/or a fifth difference between the second RSRP and a fourth threshold.

For example, the fifth time period may be positively correlated with a fourth difference between the first RSRP and the fifth threshold, and/or the fifth time period may be positively correlated with a fifth difference between the second RSRP and the fourth threshold.

In an embodiment, the fifth Threshold is an RSRP Threshold corresponding to the LTE cell, and is represented by Threshold _ LTE _ RSRP, and when the first RSRP of the LTE cell is Service _ RSRP > Threshold _ LTE _ RSRP, it may be considered that the LTE cell where the current terminal resides is better in communication quality, and cell handover is not required.

Since the B1 measurement event relates to the communication quality judgment of the measured SA cell, it is necessary to acquire the second RSRP of the measured SA cell for further judgment at this time.

In an embodiment, when the second measured RSRP of the SA cell, i.e., Meas _ SA _ RSRP, is lower than the fourth Threshold corresponding to the SA cell, the Meas _ SA _ RSRP is less than Threshold _ SA _ RSRP, and it may be considered that if the cell handover is triggered, the communication quality of the SA cell accessed after the handover is still not good enough. Therefore, cell switching is not needed, namely reporting of the report information of the second event, such as the report information of the B1 measurement event, is suspended.

In an embodiment, the fifth threshold may be preset according to actual requirements and the like. For example, the fifth threshold value may be determined according to a communication quality requirement of the terminal and/or an RSRP of a cell of the second type historically accessed by the terminal. For example, the fifth threshold may be an average RSRP value of a second type of cell that the terminal has historically accessed within a preset time period, and the like.

In this way, when the terminal in the static scene is camped on the second-type cell, based on the comparison between the RSRP of the second-type cell and the threshold value and the measured RSRP of the first-type cell, the communication quality of the current camped cell and the inter-system cell can be determined. When the communication quality of the first-class cell which is resided at present is better, and the communication quality of the switchable second-class cell which is measured is poorer, reporting of corresponding report information can be suspended, and therefore unnecessary inter-system cell switching is reduced.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second RSRP is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, it indicates that the measured communication quality of the inter-system cell is good enough, and/or, when the first RSRP is less than or equal to the fifth threshold, it indicates that the currently camped cell has too poor communication quality, and cannot support the terminal service. At this time, reporting information of the second event and switching the inter-system cell in time are required to be reported.

In an embodiment, if the second RSRP is greater than the fourth threshold and a difference between the second RSRP and the fourth threshold is greater than a preset value, it indicates that the measured communication quality of the inter-system cell is excellent, and at this time, report information of the second event is reported.

In an embodiment, if the first RSRP is smaller than the fifth threshold and the difference between the first RSRP and the fifth threshold is greater than the preset value, it indicates that the communication quality of the currently camped cell is very poor, and at this time, report information of the second event is reported.

In an embodiment, if the second RSRP is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold and the difference between the second RSRP and the fourth threshold is less than the preset value, the report information of the second event is reported when the first RSRP is less than or equal to the fifth threshold, so that the reporting of the corresponding report information is better performed when the inter-system cell communication quality is higher than that of the currently camped cell by a large amount, so as to trigger the inter-system cell handover.

Thus, when it is detected that the RSRP of the inter-system cell is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, the communication quality of the inter-system cell may be considered to be sufficiently good; when the RSRP of the current camped cell is lower than or equal to the fifth threshold, it may be considered that the communication quality of the current camped cell is too poor to support the terminal service. When any one of the conditions is met, the report of the report information of the second event is not shielded, so that the stable operation of the terminal can be facilitated, and the negative influence caused by the fact that the terminal continuously resides in a cell with poor communication quality and cannot be switched is reduced.

In some embodiments, the turning off at least one of the first cell type and the second cell type access functions of the terminal includes:

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type cell is taken as an SA cell, and the second type cell is taken as an LTE cell. The first type of cell access function of the terminal is turned off, which may include turning off a 5G function of the terminal. The second type of cell access function of the terminal may be turned off, which may include turning off a 4G function of the terminal.

In one embodiment, for a terminal residing in a dynamic scenario of an SA cell, considering that the coverage of the LTE network is better than that of the SA network, the access of the SA cell is closed and the measurement of the LTE cell is started. Determining whether to access the second type of cell based on the measurement result of the second type of cell may include: and determining whether to access the second type of cells based on whether the second type of cells are measured or not, or determining whether to access the second type of cells based on the measured RSRP of the second type of cells.

For example, after the SA cell access function of the terminal is turned off, if an LTE cell is measured within a certain period of time, the LTE cell is accessed. And if the LTE cell is not measured in a certain period of time, closing the access function of the LTE cell of the terminal. The closing of the access function of the LTE cell may be a third duration of time for closing the access function of the LTE cell. And after the third time length, restarting the access function of the LTE cell.

For example, after the SA cell access function of the terminal is turned off, if the RSRP of the LTE cell measured within a certain period of time is higher than a preset threshold, the terminal is accessed to the LTE cell. And if the LTE cell with the RSRP higher than the preset threshold value is not measured in a certain period of time, the LTE cell access function of the terminal is closed. The closing of the access function of the LTE cell may be a third duration of time for closing the access function of the LTE cell. And after a third time, restarting the access function of the LTE cell.

In one embodiment, for a terminal residing in a dynamic scenario of an LTE cell, considering that the terminal is already in an LTE network with better coverage, the terminal is switched off from accessing an SA cell to reduce unnecessary inter-system cell handover. The method may include turning off an SA cell access function of the terminal for a second duration.

Therefore, the method can be better suitable for the terminal in a dynamic scene by controlling the access functions of the first-class cell and the second-class cell, not only can reduce the workload of cell measurement and switching control judgment, but also can effectively reduce unnecessary inter-system switching generated by the terminal, thereby improving the service stability of the terminal in the dynamic scene.

For a better understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following further description of the technical solution of the present disclosure is made by an exemplary embodiment:

as shown in fig. 4, the specific process provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows:

1. when the UE resides in the SA network or the LTE network, the procedure is entered.

2. Consider "SA to LTE" or "LTE to SA" as an inter-system handover. And (4) entering a flow 3 when three or more times of inter-system switching occurs within 30s, and otherwise, continuing to observe.

3. And judging whether the SA cells or the LTE cells switched by the three different systems are the same cells. When the cells are the same, judging that the UE is in a static scene, and entering a flow 4; otherwise, the UE is determined to be in a dynamic scene, and the process 5 is entered.

4. The UE is in a static scene:

4.1 when the UE is in the SA cell, controlling the A2 event, and when the following conditions are met, not reporting the A2 event to the SA cell:

Service_RSRP>Threshold_SA_RSRP；

the Service _ RSRP is a first RSRP of the current SA serving cell, and the Threshold _ SA _ RSRP may be a preset lower RSRP limit value of the SA serving cell, that is, a second Threshold value, and may be customized according to actual needs.

4.2 when the UE is in the LTE cell, controlling the B1 event, and when the following two conditions are met, not reporting the B1 event to the LTE cell:

Service_RSRP>Threshold_LTE_RSRP；

Meas_SA_RSRP<Threshold_SA_RSRP；

the Service _ RSRP is a first RSRP of the current LTE serving cell, and the Threshold _ LTE _ RSRP may be a preset RSRP lower limit value, i.e., a fifth Threshold value. The Meas _ SA _ RSRP may be a second RSRP that is an RSRP of the measured SA cell, and the Threshold _ SA _ RSRP may be a fourth Threshold that is a preset upper limit of the RSRP of the measured SA cell.

5. The UE is in a dynamic scene:

5.1 when the UE is in the SA cell, based on the current LTE coverage is better than SA, turn off 5G 5min and directly force to search for LTE.

5.2 when the UE is in LTE cell, turn off 5G 5 min.

Therefore, compared with the cell switching strategy determined only by signal quality in the prior art, the time delay caused by frequent switching can be greatly reduced, the coverage of LTE is better than that of SA is considered, the maturity of the LTE network is higher, and when the UE is in a dynamic scene and frequent inter-system switching occurs, the 5G is closed for a period of time, so that the usability of the service is preferentially ensured. And moreover, the influence of different measurement events on switching is considered, and when the UE is in a static scene and frequent inter-system switching occurs, the judgment condition of switching is increased, the UE is ensured to reside in a relatively good cell, and the user experience is optimized.

It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed alone, or may be executed together with some methods in the embodiment of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.
