Detailed Description

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

With the development of technology, a new generation of mobile communication technology is coming into the field of view of people. The new generation mobile communication technology has higher speed, lower power consumption and lower time delay compared with the previous generation mobile communication technology. However, the efficiency of the new generation mobile communication technology is to be improved in practical use. The present disclosure exemplifies, but is not limited to, a new generation mobile communication technology, the fifth generation mobile communication technology (the 5th generation mobile communication technology,5G), and a previous generation mobile communication technology, the fourth generation mobile communication technology (the 4th generation mobile communication technology,4G). For example, writing a preferred 4G in the old card of some terminals results in the user selecting to use 5G, but later not registering with 5G. For another example, the local public land mobile network (home public land mobile network, NPLMN) of the terminal is a non-independent networking (non-standalone, NSA) network, and the terminal can register with the independent networking (standalone, SA) network and support SA roaming, where the time for the terminal to register with the SA network is longer and less efficient. For another example, a terminal may register with a public land mobile network (REGISTERD PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORK, RPLMN) radio access technology (radio access technology, RAT) of 4G, or may not register with 5G late.

In one embodiment, the terminal periodically searches for networks and attempts to connect to the network according to priority. For example, if the preferred 4G is written in the old card of the terminal. The terminal will preferentially try to make the network connection based on 4G, resulting in that the terminal is still making the network connection based on 4G, although the operator opens 5G.

Registration 5G in this disclosure may be understood as network connection based on 5G, both of which have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably. The 5G in the present disclosure may be SA. The 5G or SA in the present disclosure may be understood as a mobile network communication technology, and may also be understood as a network system.

Therefore, the present disclosure proposes a network connection method, when a terminal performs network connection based on a first network system and the set network system is a second network system, in response to receiving a system message, the network system supported by a cell where the terminal is located is determined according to the system message, and if the cell supports the second network system, network connection may be performed based on the second network system. The problem that network connection cannot be performed based on the second network system due to delay caused by network connection according to the priority is avoided. The second network system can be 5G, so that the efficiency of network connection based on 5G is effectively improved.

The network connection method disclosed by the invention can be applied to a terminal. A terminal may also be referred to as a terminal device, a Mobile Station (MS), a Mobile Terminal (MT), etc., and is a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, e.g., a handheld device, a vehicle mounted device, etc., with wireless connectivity. Currently, some terminals are exemplified by a smart phone (mobile phone), a pocket computer (pocket personal computer, PPC), a palm computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or a vehicle-mounted device. In addition, in the case of a vehicle networking (vehicle to everything, V2X) communication system, the terminal device may also be an in-vehicle device. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the specific technology and specific device configuration adopted by the terminal.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a network connection method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, the network connection method includes the following steps.

In step S11, in response to receiving the system message sent by the network device, the network system supported by the cell in which the terminal is located is determined according to the system message.

In one embodiment, when the terminal performs network connection based on the first network system and the network system set by the terminal is the second network system, in response to receiving the system message, the network system supported by the cell in which the terminal is located may be determined according to the system message. The first network system may be 4G. The second network type may be 5G or SA. The network system set by the terminal can be understood as a network system started by the terminal user, that is, a network system preset by the terminal user when the terminal is used. In some cases, the network system set by the terminal is a second network system. However, since the preferred first network system is written in the old card of the terminal, the terminal may still perform network connection based on the first network system. Or because the RPLMN RAT of the terminal is the first network system, namely the network system of the terminal which successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is the first network system, the terminal still has the possibility of performing network connection based on the first network system.

Wherein the network connection based on the first network system includes a case where, for example, the network connection is based on the first network system, but the network connection is not completed. I.e. network connections are being attempted. For another example, the network connection is successfully made based on the first network format. At this time, communication services, such as uploading or downloading data, may be performed based on the first network system. The terminal may receive a system message at the time of initializing registration. The system message may also be received when a change in the system message is prompted in a paging (paging) message, or may be received when predefined data in the system message has not changed within a preset duration.

In step S12, in response to the network system supported by the cell being the second network system, network connection is performed based on the second network system.

In one embodiment, if the network system supported by the cell is the second network system, the network connection may be performed based on the second network system. For example, if the terminal performs network connection based on the first network system, but the network connection is not completed, the terminal may not attempt to perform network connection based on the first network system any more and directly perform network connection based on the second network system. For another example, if the terminal successfully performs network connection based on the first network system, it may attempt to perform network connection based on the second network system.

When the terminal performs network connection based on the first network system and the set network system is the second network system, the network system supported by the cell where the terminal is located is determined according to the system information in response to receiving the system information, and if the cell supports the second network system, the network connection can be performed based on the second network system. The problem that network connection cannot be performed based on the second network system due to delay caused by network connection according to the priority is avoided. The second network system can be 5G, so that the efficiency of network connection based on 5G is effectively improved.

In some embodiments, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a network system determining method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the network connection method provided in the present disclosure determines a network system supported by a cell in the following manner.

In step S21, in response to the first system message including the second system message, it is determined that the network system supported by the cell in which the terminal is located is the second network system.

In one embodiment, the system message includes a first system message. For example, the first system message may be SIB1. If the first system message includes the second system message, it may be determined that the network system supported by the cell in which the terminal is located is the second network system. The second system message is used for reselecting the terminal from the first network system to the second network system. For example, the second system message may be SIB24.

In step S22, in response to the first system message not including the second system message, it is determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system.

In one embodiment, if the first system message does not include the second system message, it may be determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system. If the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system, network connection can be continued based on the first network system.

The method and the device for determining the cell of the terminal according to the second network system determine whether the cell of the terminal supports the second network system by determining whether the first system message comprises the second system message or not, and if the second system message comprises the second system message, the cell of the terminal can be determined to support the second network system because the second system message is used for reselecting the first network system to the second network system. Whether the cell in which the terminal is located supports the second network system can be determined efficiently.

In some embodiments, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a network system determining method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 3, the network connection method provided in the present disclosure determines a network system supported by a cell in the following manner.

In step S31, in response to the first system message not including the second system message and the third system message including the predefined identifier, it is determined that the network system supported by the cell in which the terminal is located is the second network system.

In one embodiment, the system messages include a first system message and a third system message. For example, the first system message may be SIB1 and the third system message may be SIB2. If the second system message is not included in the first system message, it may be further determined whether a predefined identifier is included in the third system message. In some cases, the first system message does not include the second system message, and the cell in which the terminal is located may also have the second network system. The predefined identifier is used to identify the cell corresponding to the third system message as a cell supporting the second network system. The predefined identifier may be upper layer indication, for example. If the first system message does not include the second system message, but the third system message includes the predefined identifier, it may be determined that the cell in which the terminal is located supports the second network system.

In one embodiment, the terminal may also directly read the third system message, and if the third system message includes the predefined identifier, the cell in which the terminal is located may be considered to support the second network system. However, the power consumption for reading the predefined identifier in the second system message is larger, so that the problem of larger power consumption can be effectively avoided by first reading whether the first system message includes the second system message.

In step S32, in response to the first system message not including the second system message and the third system message not including the predefined identifier, it is determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system.

In one embodiment, if the first system message does not include the second system message and the third system message does not include the predefined identifier, it may be determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system. The terminal may also determine, directly based on the third system message not including the predefined identifier, that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system. However, based on the dual determination of whether the first system message includes the second system message and whether the third system message includes the predefined identifier, it may be more accurately determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system. The problem that network connection is not performed based on the second network system due to the fact that judgment is performed according to only one condition and judgment errors occur can be avoided.

In one embodiment, if it is determined that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system, the terminal may continue to perform network connection based on the first network system.

The method and the device can further determine whether the cell in which the terminal is located supports the second network system by judging whether the third system message comprises the predefined identifier or not, so that whether the cell in which the terminal is located supports the second network system or not can be determined more accurately. The network connection based on the second network system can be ensured as much as possible.

In some embodiments, the network connection method provided by the disclosure includes responding that a cell where the terminal is located does not support the second network system and performing network connection based on the first network system.

In one embodiment, if the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system, network connection may be continued based on the first network system.

In the method, the terminal is prevented from performing invalid attempts by responding to the situation that the cell in which the terminal is located does not support the second network system and performing network connection based on the first network system, so that smooth network use of a terminal user is ensured.

In some implementations, fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a network connection method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, including the following steps.

In step S41, a network system in which network connection is successfully performed at the terminal history time is determined.

In one embodiment, a network format in which network connection is successfully performed at a terminal history time may be determined. I.e. determining the RPLMN RAT of the terminal.

In step S42, if it is determined that the network system of the terminal that successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is other network systems than the first network system, or that the terminal does not have the network system of successfully performing network connection at the historical moment, network connection is performed based on the second network system.

In one embodiment, if the network system in which the terminal successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is the first network system, the terminal may successfully connect to the network based on the first network system faster. The terminal may first successfully connect to the network based on the first network format so that the terminal user may use the network based on the first network format. If the network system of the terminal which successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is other network systems or the terminal does not have the network system of the terminal which successfully performs network connection at the historical moment, the rate of the terminal which successfully connects the network based on the first network system is not obviously faster. The terminal can determine that the cell supports a second network system, and establish network connection directly based on the second network system.

According to the method and the device, whether the network system for successfully performing network connection at the historical moment of the terminal is the first network system is determined, so that the terminal can use the network based on the first network system under some conditions, and user experience is improved. In other cases, the network connection may be made directly based on the second network format, and the network connection may be made faster based on the second network format. The second network system can be 5G, and the method and the device can effectively improve the efficiency of registering 5G.

In some implementations, fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a network connection method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, including the following steps.

In step S51, if it is determined that the network system of the terminal that successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is the first network system, and the network connection is successful in the preset time, the network connection is performed based on the second network system.

In one embodiment, if it is determined that the network system in which the network connection is successfully performed at the terminal history time is the first network system, and the network connection is successfully established within a preset time. The terminal may attempt to make a network connection based on the second network system while being used to use the network based on the first network system. That is, while the user uses the network, an attempt is made to improve a better network.

In step S52, if it is determined that the network system of the terminal that successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is the first network system and the network connection is unsuccessful beyond the preset time, performing network connection based on the second network system.

In one embodiment, if the network connection is unsuccessful beyond a preset time, no waiting is required. The network connection may be made directly based on the second network format. The preset time can be set according to actual conditions.

According to the method and the device, network connection is successfully conducted based on the first network system in response to the historical moment of the terminal, network connection is attempted based on the first network system within preset time, so that the terminal can be connected to a network faster, a terminal user can use the network faster, and user experience is improved. If the network connection is still not successfully performed based on the first network system after the preset time is exceeded, network connection is performed directly based on the second network system. The second network format may be 5G. The efficiency of registering 5G can be effectively improved.

In some embodiments, the network connection method provided by the disclosure includes determining, according to the system message, a network system supported by a cell in which the terminal is located, in response to the cell in which the terminal is located not being in a preset blacklist.

In one embodiment, before performing network connection based on the second network system, the terminal may determine whether a cell corresponding to the terminal is in a preset blacklist. Cells in the blacklist often fail to connect to the network based on the second network system. For example, after determining that the cell in which the terminal is located supports the second network system, determining whether the cell is in a preset blacklist. For another example, the terminal may determine whether the cell is in the preset blacklist after determining that the network system of the terminal that successfully performs network connection at the historical moment is other network systems except the first network system or that the terminal does not have the network system of the terminal that successfully performs network connection at the historical moment. For another example, the terminal may determine whether the cell is in a preset blacklist after determining that the network system of the network connection is successful at the terminal history time is the first network system and the network connection is successful in the preset time. For another example, the terminal may determine whether the cell is in a preset blacklist after determining that the network system of the network connection is successful at the terminal history time is the first network system and the network connection is unsuccessful beyond a preset time. This disclosure does not list all possible ways, but it should be understood that it is not limited to the above-described examples.

In one embodiment, if the cell in which the terminal is located is not in the preset blacklist, network connection is performed based on the second network system. If the cell in which the terminal is located is in the preset blacklist, network connection can be continuously performed based on the first network system.

In the disclosure, if the cell in which the terminal is located is not in the preset list, network connection can be performed based on the second network system, so that the efficiency of performing network connection based on the second system is improved. If the cell in which the terminal is located is in the preset list, the network is continuously conducted based on the first network system, so that invalid attempts are avoided, and power consumption is wasted.

In some embodiments, the network connection method provided by the disclosure includes that a terminal performs network connection based on a first network system, the network connection is successful, and the network system supported by a cell where the terminal is located is determined according to a system message in response to the throughput rate being less than or equal to a threshold value.

In one embodiment, if the terminal performs network connection based on the first network system, and the network connection is successful. The throughput rate of the terminal can be determined. If the throughput rate is less than or equal to the threshold, the terminal may be considered to have less ongoing communication traffic, and network connection may be attempted based on the second network system. If the throughput rate is greater than the threshold, it may be considered that the terminal has a large number of ongoing communication services, and network connection may be temporarily continued based on the first network system. And when the terminal throughput rate is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, performing network connection based on the second network system.

It will be appreciated that when the throughput rate of the terminal is equal to the threshold, network connection may be performed based on continuing to perform network connection based on the first network system, or network connection may be attempted based on the second network system.

In the method, whether the throughput rate of the terminal is smaller than or equal to the threshold value can be determined in response to the terminal being successfully connected with the network based on the first network system, so that the problem of poor user experience caused by disturbing a user is avoided.

In some embodiments, the network connection method provided by the present disclosure includes adding a cell to a preset blacklist in response to unsuccessful network connection based on a second network system.

In one embodiment, if the network connection is unsuccessful based on the second network system, the corresponding cell may be added to a preset blacklist.

In one embodiment, a timer may be set to release the cells added to the preset blacklist, so as to avoid the situation that the cells in the blacklist may be connected to the network based on the second network system and ignored.
