Description

一种网络注册模式切换的方法及终端
本申请要求于2018年1月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810069375.1、申请名称为“一种网络注册模式切换的方法及终端”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种网络注册模式切换的方法及终端。
背景技术
当前第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信标准协议中,为了支持与长期演进技术(long term evolution,LTE)的异系统互操作,同时支持LTE和新的5G接入技术(new radio,NR)的终端,可以工作在单注册模式或者双注册模式。
N26接口为第五代移动通信技术核心网(5th-generation core,5GC)设备和演进型分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)设备之间的一个接口,如果终端工作在单注册模式下,网络不存在N26接口时,终端进行异系统操作,即终端在不同的接入技术之间转换时,需要重新发起注册流程,增加了异系统互操作的时延。当网络存在N26接口,网络可以通过N26接口获取终端的上下文,此时如果终端还工作在双注册模式下,就会浪费系统资源。
如果终端工作在不合理的网络注册模式下,会增加互操作时延或者浪费系统资源。因此如何合理确定终端适宜的网络注册模式就成为一个问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种网络注册模式切换的方法及终端,用于终端根据5G核心网设备发送的指示信息,对终端工作在单或者双注册模式下,进行合理的切换,降低互操作时延,节约系统资源。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例第一方面提供一种网络注册模式切换的方法,可以包括:当终端检测到第一通信网络时,该终端可以向该第一通信网络的核心网设备发送第一注册请求;该终端接收该第一通信网络的核心网设备发送的第一注册结果,第一注册结果是与第一注册请求对应的注册结果,该第一注册结果包含该第一通信网络的核心网设备与第二通信网络的核心网设备之间是否存在网络接口的指示信息,该网络接口用于该第一通信网络的核心网设备获取该终端在该第二通信网络覆盖区域时该终端的上下文,或者,该网络接口用于该第二通信网络的核心网设备获取该终端在该第一通信网络覆盖区域时该终端的上下文;该终端根据该指示信息,在单注册模式和双注册模式之间完成切换,该单注册模式为终端在该第一通信网络或者在该第二通信网络注册的模式,该双注册模式为终端在该第一通信网络和该第二通信网络的至少一种网络中注册的模式。示例性的,第一通信网络可以为5G网络,第二通信网络可以为LTE网络,网络接口可以为N26接口。
在本申请实施例中,第一注册请求中可以携带终端的标识(identifier,ID),信道能 力参数,注册类型等信息。第一注册结果可以携带注册是否成功的指示信息、网络与终端协商的信道能力、可提供的服务、5GC为终端重新分配的身份标识、网络中是否存在N26接口的指示信息等。终端根据核心网设备发送的关于网络接口的指示信息,对终端工作在不同注册模式下进行合理的切换,降低了互操作时延,节约了系统资源。
在一种可能的设计中,当该终端当前工作模式为该单注册模式时,该终端根据该指示信息,在单注册模式和双注册模式之间完成切换,包括:若该终端根据该指示信息确定不存在该网络接口,则该终端从该单注册模式切换到该双注册模式。
在一种可能的设计中,该终端从该单注册模式切换到该双注册模式之后,该方法还可以包括:当该终端检测到该第二通信网络时,该终端在该双注册模式下向该第二通信网络的核心网设备发送第二注册请求;该终端接收该第二通信网络的核心网设备发送的第二注册结果;当该终端移出该第一通信网络的覆盖区域时,该终端根据该第二注册结果通过该第二通信网络进行通信。
在本申请实施例中,因为双注册模式是可以向第一通信网络和第二通信网络中的至少一个网络发起注册,这里双注册模式以终端向第一通信网络和第二通信网络都发起注册为例来进行说明。因为之前终端向第一通信网络的核心网设备已经发送过第一注册请求了,也接收了第一通信网络设备的核心网设备发送的第一注册结果,这里切换到双注册模式后,如果检测到第二通信网络,可以向第二通信网络的核心网设备发起第二注册请求,此时终端还未进行异系统互操作,终端再接收第二通信网络的核心网设备发送的第二注册结果。当终端移出第一通信网络的覆盖范围时,终端可以直接根据第二注册结果通过第二通信网络进行通信。因为在终端移出第一通信网络之前,终端已经向第二通信网络的核心网设备完成了注册,所以,终端在异系统互操作时,直接根据第二注册结果使用第二通信网络即可,可以降低终端进行异系统操作的时延。需要说明的是,异系统互操作可以包括5GC与LTE两个系统间切换(handover)、小区重选、小区改变(cell change)。
在一种可能的设计中,该终端根据该第二注册结果通过该第二通信网络进行通信,可以包括但不限于以下几种实现方式:
(1)若该终端处于空闲状态,则该终端向该第二通信网络发起随机接入,并根据该第二注册结果通过该第二通信网络进行通信;或者,
(2)当该终端处于连接状态时,该终端在该第一通信网络的核心网设备的切换指示下从该第一通信网络切换到该第二通信网络;该终端根据该第二注册结果通过该第二通信网络进行通信。
终端根据第二注册结果通过第二通信网络进行通信时,还需考虑终端的状态,当终端处于空闲状态且移出第一通信网络的覆盖区域时,终端向第二通信网络发起随机接入进行跟踪区更新,并根据该第二注册结果通过第二通信网络进行通信。当该终端处于连接状态时,该终端根据第一通信网络的核心网设备发送的切换指令,从该第一通信网络切换到该第二通信网络,终端无需向第二通信网络发起随机接入,只进行跟踪区更新即可根据该第二注册结果通过该第二通信网络进行通信。提供了多种可能的实现方式,增加了方案的可行性。
在一种可能的设计中,当该终端当前工作模式为双注册模式时,该终端根据该指示信息,在单注册模式和双注册模式之间完成切换,具体的实现方式可以包括:若该终端根据该指示信息确定存在该网络接口,则该终端从该双注册模式切换到该单注册模式。
在本申请实施例中,如果终端工作在双注册模式下,网络存在网络接口,那么终端从双注册模式切换到单注册模式下,可以通过网络接口获取终端通信所需的上下文,从双注册模式切换到单注册模式可以节省系统资源。
在一种可能的设计中,若该双注册模式为在该第一通信网络和该第二通信网络中注册的模式,该终端从该双注册模式切换到该单注册模式之后,该方法还可以包括:当该终端检测到该第二通信网络时,该终端在该单注册模式下向该第二通信网络的核心网设备发送去注册请求;该终端接收该第二通信网络的核心网设备发送的去注册结果;当该终端移出该第一通信网络的覆盖范围时,该终端通过该网络接口从该第一通信网络获取该终端的上下文信息,该上下文信息包括该终端的身份标识、注册状态和终端UE能力;该终端根据该上下文信息通过该第二通信网络进行通信。
在本申请实施例中,因为双注册模式是可以向第一通信网络和第二通信网络中的至少一个网络发起注册,这里双注册模式以终端向第一通信网络和第二通信网络都发起注册为例来进行说明。因为之前终端向第一通信网络的核心网设备已经发送过第一注册请求了,也接收了第一通信网络设备的核心网设备发送的第一注册结果,默认的也向第二通信网络的核心网设备发送了第二注册请求,接收了第二通信网络发送的第二注册结果。所以,这里切换到单注册模式后,如果检测到第二通信网络,可以向第二通信网络的核心网设备发起去注册请求,此时终端还未进行异系统互操作,终端再接收第二通信网络的核心网设备发送的去注册结果。当终端移出第一通信网络的覆盖范围时,终端可以通过该网络接口从该第一通信网络获取该终端的上下文信息,该上下文信息包括该终端的身份标识、注册状态和终端UE能力;该终端根据该上下文信息通过该第二通信网络进行通信。因为在终端移出第一通信网络之前,终端已经向第二通信网络的核心网设备完成了去注册,所以,终端在异系统互操作时,直接根据第二注册结果使用第二通信网络即可,可以节约系统资源。
在一种可能的设计中,该终端根据该上下文信息通过该第二通信网络进行通信,可以包括但不限于以下几种实现方式:
(1)若该终端处于空闲状态,则该终端向该第二通信网络发起随机接入,并根据该上下文信息通过该第二通信网络进行通信;或者,
(2)当该终端处于连接状态时,该终端在该第一通信网络的核心网设备的切换指示下从该第一通信网络切换到该第二通信网络;该终端根据该上下文信息通过该第二通信网络进行通信。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种网络注册模式切换的方法,用于终端降低互操作的时延,节约系统的资源。
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本申请方案,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分的实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,都应当属于本申请保护的范围。
先对本申请所涉及的关键术语做一个简要的说明,如下所示:
单注册模式:工作在单注册模式下的终端只有一个激活的移动管理(mobile management,MM)状态,可选的,该移动管理状态可以是5G中的注册管理(register management,RM)状态或者LTE中的演进型分组系统移动管理(evolved packet system mobility management,EMM)状态,工作在单注册模式下的终端只能注册在一个系统中,例如可以只注册在第五代移动通信技术核心网(5th-generation core,5GC)非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)模式,或者只注册在演进型分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)NAS模式。工作在单注册模式下的终端为5GC和EPC维护一个单一协调的注册上下文。与通常说的单通区别在于只有一张卡,即一个用户身份,注册一个系统,单通是两张卡,注册两个系统,但同时只有一张卡可以进行业务。
双注册模式:在这种模式下,终端可以仅注册在5GC,也可以仅注册在EPC,可选的,终端也可以既注册在5GC,又注册在EPC。也就是终端可以同时在两个系统上发起注册流程,但实际作业时终端只能在一个系统中进行通信。双注册模式下的终端只有一张卡,即一个用户身份,注册两个系统,但业务只在一个系统上进行;双通是终端有两张卡,注册两个系统,两张卡可以同时进行业务。
其中,终端在LTE网络和5G网络进行互操作时,支持存在N26接口的互操作和不存在N26接口的互操作,两种互操作都需要为异系统操作的终端提供互联网协议(internet protocol,IP)地址连续性。
可选的,存在N26接口的互操作可以是:当存在N26接口时,终端在5GC和EPC之间进行异系统重选或切换,即终端从5GC重选或切换到EPC时,只需要执行跟踪区更新(tracking area update,TAU)或注册流程,网络之间可以通过N26接口进行终端信息同步,例如,当终端从5GC重选到EPC时,终端无需向EPC重新进行注册,EPC可以通过N26接口从5GC处获取终端的上下文信息,可选的,终端的上下文信息包括终端的身份标识、注册状态、支持的能力等信息,从而在异系统之间实现终端信息同步。
可选的,不存在N26接口的互操作可以是:当不存在N26接口时,终端在5GC和EPC之间进行异系统重选或切换,需要重新在目标系统进行注册和切换(handover)的会话(session)建立,例如,当终端从5G网络覆盖区移动到只有LTE网络(也可以称作4G网络)覆盖区时,终端需要从5GC切换到EPC,此时,由于EPC并不知道终端的上下文信息,也无法通过N26接口获取终端的上下文信息,因此终端需要向EPC重新进行注册,从而确保终端可以与EPC正常通信。
当终端工作在单注册模式,而网络不存在N26接口时,终端在5GC和EPC间进行异系统互操作时,需要重新进行注册和附着(Attach)流程,增加了互操作时延。当终端工作 在双注册模式,而网络存在N26接口时,由于终端通过N26接口就可以获取异系统切换所需的终端上下文而无需在两个网络中都进行注册,浪费系统资源。
如图1所示,图1示例性示出了一种通信系统架构示意图。
其中,移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)为LTE网络(即4G网络)的核心网设备,主要负责用户及会话管理的控制平面功能,包括非接入层(non access stratum,NAS)信令及安全,跟踪区列表(tracking area list)的管理,以及分组数据网络网关(packet date network gateway,PGW)与网关(service gateway,SGW)的选择等。
接入与移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)为5G网络的核心网设备,AMF可以为终端提供注册管理,链接管理,可达管理,移动性管理,接入鉴权和授权等功能。通过N1接口与终端相连,通过N2接口与5G接入网(radio access network,RAN)相连。
应当理解,4G和5G网络的核心网设备并不限定于以上网络设备,可以包含其他核心网设备,本申请实施例对此不做限定,并且,上述所使用的各个核心网设备的名称,在未来通信系统中可能会有所演变。
其中,N26接口是用于LTE核心网设备EPC和5G核心网设备(5GC)进行通信的接口,LTE网络或者5G网络可以通过N26接口获取终端的上下文信息,终端的上下文信息可以包括终端的身份标识、注册状态、支持的能力等信息。在一种可选的方案中,移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)和接入与移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)之间可以通过N26接口互连,N26接口是可选存在的。可选的,N26接口可以是一个纯物理接口,可选的,N26接口也可以是一个配和协议或使能信令使用的物理接口,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
示例性的,N26接口可以是对外提供的普通网口,然后通过网线连接到交换机上,最后再通过交换机连接到其它设备上;可选的,N26接口可以是网口,也可以为光口。
接入网设备主要负责为终端设备提供无线连接,保证终端设备的上下行数据的可靠传输等,可选的,在LTE网络中的接入网设备为演进的通用陆地无线接入网(evolved universal terrestrial radio access network,EUTRAN),EUTRAN是由多个演进型基站(evolved nodeB,eNodeB)组成的网络,用于实现无线物理层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理功能。eNodeB之间可以通过X2接口相连,并基于X2接口来传输数据。eNodeB通过用户面接口S1-U和服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)相连,使用GPRS隧道协议用户面(GPRS tunneling protocol user plane,GTP-U)来传送用户面数据;EUTRAN通过控制面接口S1-MME和移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)相连。可选的,接入网设备包括基站,具体的,例如包括但不限于:5G中的下一代基站(g NodeB,gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved node B,或Home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU)、传输 点(transmitting and receiving Point,TRP)、发射点(transmitting point,TP)、移动交换中心等。
终端设备可以指用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的终端设备等。图1中为方便描述,只示例出2个终端设备,实际通信网络中可能存在多个终端设备共存,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本申请并不限定于图1所示的通信系统架构,还可以应用于未来其它的通信系统,例如6G通信系统架构等。并且,本申请上述所使用的各个网元的名称,在未来通信系统中,可以保持功能相同,但名称可能会改变。
如图2所示,图2为本申请实施例所应用的系统架构图。如图2所示,无线通信系统包括公共接入网设备网络210,所述公共接入网设备网络210包括可通信连接至一个或多个小区的接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备。其中,所述接入网设备在相应的小区内与终端230进行通信。本实施例所示的小区是指移动通信中无线信号覆盖的区域。

本实施例所示的所述终端230可为手机、平板电脑、PDA(personal digital assistant,个人数字助理)、车载电脑等任意终端。
所述RAN设备在不同的系统对应不同的设备,比如第二代手机通信技术规格(2-generation wireless telephone technology,2G)中对应基站和基站控制器,在第三代移动通信技术(3rd-generation,3G)中对应基站和无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC),在4G中对应演进型基站(evolved node B,eNB),在5G中对应新空口基站(new radio nodeB,gNB)。

下面结合图3A对终端的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍:

在本申请实施例中,终端在单注册模式下,而网络不存在N26接口时,终端从单注册模式切换到双注册模式,可以降低终端在5GC和LTE间互操作时延;或者,终端在双注册模式下,而网络存在N26接口时,终端从双注册模式切换到单注册模式,终端在5GC和LTE 之间切换或者重选时,可以通过N26接口获取终端通信所需的上下文,从双注册模式切换到单注册模式可以节省系统资源。这里的互操作包括5GC与LTE两个系统间切换(handover)、小区重选、小区改变(cell change)。如图3B所示,图3B为本申请实施例所应用的场景示意图。
终端从上图3B中5G信号和4G信号均覆盖的区域(301)移动到仅4G信号覆盖区域(302)时,终端会检测到5G信号越来越弱。即当终端检测到5G信号小于某一阈值,或者,终端检测到5G信号小于该阈值,而4G信号又大于某预设阈值时,终端会从5G小区重选到4G小区,此时就会发生5G到4G的异系统重选,终端最终驻留4G小区。如果终端没有进行异系统重选时,可能会产生断网等情况。
在本申请实施例中,第一通信网络以5G网络、第二通信网络以LTE网络、网络接口以N26接口为例进行说明。如果终端工作在单注册模式下,网络不存在N26接口,那么终端切换到双注册模式下,可以降低异系统互操作的时延。如果终端工作在双注册模式下,网络存在N26接口,那么,终端可以从双注册模式切换到单注册模式,因为网络可以通过N26接口获取终端的上下文,节约系统资源。
终端在异系统重选时,当终端检测到第五代移动通信5G网络时,所述终端向5G核心网设备发送第一注册请求;所述终端接收所述5G核心网设备发送的第一注册结果,所述第一注册结果包含所述5G核心网设备与长期演进LTE核心网设备之间是否存在N26接口的指示信息;所述终端根据所述指示信息,在单注册模式和双注册模式之间完成切换。即终端根据5G核心网设备发送的指示信息,对终端工作在单或者双注册模式下,进行合理的切换,降低互操作的时延,节约系统的资源。
下面以实施例的方式,对本申请技术方案做进一步的说明。如图4所示,图4为本申请实施例中网络注册模式切换的方法的一个实施例示意图,包括:
401、终端当前在单注册模式下工作。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以包括但不限于:移动电话、平板电脑(tablet personal computer)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、数码相机、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,简称PDA)、导航装置、移动上网装置(mobile internet device,MID)或可穿戴式设备(wearable device)。5GC指的是5G系统中核心网;EPC指的是LTE系统中核心网。
该终端支持单注册模式和双注册模式,终端开机时初始化在单注册模式。即该终端当前在单注册模式下工作。在本申请实施例中,终端当前工作在5GC NAS模式。
402、终端向5GC发送第一注册请求。
若所述终端检测到5G网络,则所述终端向5GC发送第一注册请求。需要说明的是,本申请实施例所应用的场景示意图包括上述图3B,在上述图3B中,301表示的是5G信号和4G信号共同覆盖的区域,在301中,终端优先使用的网络是5G网络,所以,当终端检测到5G网络时,终端向5GC发送第一注册请求。
可以理解的是,第一注册请求中可以携带终端的标识(identifier,ID)、信道能力参数、注册类型等信息。
403、5GC向终端发送第一注册结果。
5GC接收终端发送的第一注册请求后,根据第一注册请求向终端发送第一注册结果;所述终端接收所述5GC发送的所述第一注册结果。第一注册结果可以携带注册是否成功的指示信息、网络与终端协商的信道能力、可提供的服务、5GC为终端重新分配的身份标识、网络中是否存在N26接口的指示信息等。
404、若终端根据第一注册结果,确定不存在N26接口,则终端从当前工作的单注册模式切换到双注册模式。
可以理解的是,第一注册结果可以是指示网络存在N26接口的指示信息,也可以是指示网络不存在N26接口的指示信息。当第一注册结果指示网络不存在N26接口时,终端可以从当前工作的单注册模式切换到双注册模式,所述第一注册结果为5GC根据终端的第一注册请求发送的注册结果。关于第一注册结果所携带的信息,可以参考上述步骤403的说明,此处不再赘述。
405、若终端检测到LTE网络,则终端在所述双注册模式下向EPC发起第二注册请求。
需要说明的是,虽然在上述图3B所示的301中,LTE网络和5G网络都存在,但对于终端来说,是不知道是否存在的,需要去检测。如果终端检测到LTE网络,则该终端在双注册模式下向EPC发起第二注册请求。
在现有技术中,终端向EPC发送第二注册请求是在5GC与LTE进行互操作的时候,而在本申请中,在5GC与LTE进行互操作之前,已经向5GC发送了注册请求,所以,在5GC与LTE进行互操作的时候,减少了发送注册请求的信令传输,可以降低5GC与LTE进行互操作的时延。
406、EPC向终端发送第二注册结果。
EPC接收终端发送的第二注册请求后,根据该第二注册请求,向终端发送第二注册结果;所述终端接收所述EPC发送的第二注册结果。该第二注册结果可以理解为完成注册信息。第二注册结果可以携带注册是否成功的指示信息、网络与终端协商的信道能力、可提供的服务、EPC为终端重新分配的身份标识等。
407、当终端移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端根据第二注册结果通过LTE网络进行通信。
当该终端移出5G网络的覆盖区域,移动到只有LTE网络覆盖的范围内时,终端根据所述第二注册结果通过所述LTE网络进行通信。
其中,所述终端根据第二注册结果通过所述LTE网络进行通信,可以包括:
(1)若所述终端处于空闲状态,则所述终端向所述LTE网络发起随机接入,并根据所述第二注册结果通过所述LTE网络进行通信。示例性的,当终端处于空闲状态且移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端自己重选到LTE网络,终端向LTE网络发起随机接入进行跟踪区更新(tracking area update,TAU),并根据所述第二注册结果通过LTE网络进行通信。
或者,
(2)当所述终端处于连接状态时,所述终端在所述5G核心网设备的切换指示下从所述5G网络切换到所述LTE网络;所述终端根据所述第二注册结果通过所述LTE网络进行通 信。示例性的,当终端处于连接状态时,终端接收所述5GC发送的切换指令;终端根据切换指令,从5G网络切换到LTE网络,终端根据第二注册结果,通过LTE网络进行通信,终端不向LTE网络发起随机接入,只进行跟踪区更新即可。
需要说明的是,因为终端向EPC发送的注册请求,在这之前已经完成了,参考上述步骤405和406,所以,在切换的过程中,不需要再向EPC发送注册请求,只需要进行切换就可以了,因此,降低了终端在5GC和LTE之间互操作的时延。
在本申请实施例中,终端在单注册模式下,确定网络不存在N26接口时将终端切换到双注册模式,终端在5GC和LTE都进行注册,在终端需要从5GC重选或切换到LTE时,不用向EPC发送注册请求,只需要发起切换就可以了,降低了终端在5GC和LTE互操作的时延。
如图5所示,图5为本申请实施例中网络注册模式切换的方法的另一个实施例示意图,包括:
501、终端当前在单注册模式下工作。
502、终端向5GC发送第一注册请求。
503、5GC向终端发送第一注册结果。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中步骤501-步骤503与上述图4所示的实施例中步骤401-步骤403相同,此处不再赘述。
504、若终端根据第一注册结果,确定存在N26接口,则终端保持单注册模式。
当第一注册结果指示网络存在N26接口时,网络之间可以通过N26接口进行终端信息同步,例如,当终端从5GC重选到EPC时,终端无需向EPC重新进行注册,EPC可以通过N26接口从5GC处获取终端的上下文信息,终端保持当前工作的单注册模式即可。所述第一注册结果为5GC根据终端的注册请求发送的注册结果。需要说明的是,第一注册结果可以携带注册是否成功的指示信息、网络与终端协商的信道能力、可提供的服务、5GC为终端重新分配的身份标识、网络中是否存在N26接口的指示信息等。
505、当终端在单注册模式下移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端通过LTE网络进行通信。
当该终端移出5G网络的覆盖区域,移动到只有LTE网络覆盖的范围内时,终端无需向LTE核心网设备重新进行注册,LTE核心网设备可以通过N26接口从5G核心网设备处获取终端的上下文信息,终端基于该上下文信息在单注册模式下通过所述LTE网络进行通信。
在本申请实施例中,终端在单注册模式下,确定网络存在N26接口时,在5GC和LTE互操作之前,因为5GC向终端反馈的注册结果指示网络存在N26接口,那么,5GC和LTE核心网设备之间可以通过N26接口交换终端的上下文信息,因此终端无需向核心网设备发送注册请求,终端在5GC和LTE互操作时,只需要发起切换就可以了,降低了终端在5GC和LTE互操作的时延。
如图6所示,图6为本申请实施例中网络注册模式切换的方法的另一个实施例示意图,包括:
601、终端当前在双注册模式下工作。
该终端支持单注册模式和双注册模式,开机时初始化在单工作模式。然后,进行某些 工作,当前在双注册模式下工作。在本申请实施例中,双注册模式默认为注册在5GC NAS模式和EPC NAS模式两种模式下。
602、终端向5GC发送注册请求。
同步骤402。
603、5GC向终端发送注册结果。
同步骤403。
604、若终端根据注册结果,确定存在N26接口,则终端从当前工作的双注册模式切换到单注册模式。
当该注册结果指示网络存在N26接口时,异系统网络设备之间即5GC和EPC之间可以通过N26接口交换终端的上下文信息,例如终端从5G网络切换到4G网络时,EPC可以通过N26接口从5GC处获取终端的上下文信息,因此终端无需在EPC进行注册即可接入4G网络进行通信,因此终端可以从当前工作的双注册模式切换到单注册模式,关于注册结果所携带的信息,可以参考上述步骤603的说明,此处不再赘述。
605、若终端检测到LTE网络,则终端在单注册模式下向演进型分组核心网EPC发送去注册请求。
需要说明的是,虽然在上述图3B所示的301中,LTE网络和5G网络都存在,但对于终端来说,是不知道是否存在的,需要去检测。如果终端检测到LTE网络,则该终端在单注册模式下向EPC发起去注册请求。
606、终端接收EPC发送的去注册结果。
EPC接收终端发送的去注册请求后,根据该去注册请求,向终端发送去注册结果;所述终端接收所述EPC发送的去注册结果。去注册结果可以携带去注册是否成功的指示信息。
607、当终端移出5G网络的覆盖范围时,通过LTE网路进行通信。
当所述终端移出5G网络的覆盖范围时,所述终端通过所述N26接口从所述5G网络获取所述终端的身份标识和支持能力的上下文信息;所述终端根据所述上下文信息通过所述LTE网路进行通信。
其中,所述终端根据所述上下文信息通过所述LTE网路进行通信,可以包括:
(1)若所述终端处于空闲状态,则所述终端向所述LTE网络发起随机接入,并根据所述上下文信息通过所述LTE网路进行通信。示例性的,当终端处于空闲状态且移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端自己重选到LTE网络,终端向LTE网络发起随机接入进行跟踪区更新(tracking area update,TAU),并根据所述上下文信息通过LTE网络进行通信。
或者,
(2)当所述终端处于连接状态时,所述终端在所述5G核心网设备的切换指示下从所述5G网络切换到所述LTE网络;所述终端根据所述上下文信息通过所述LTE网络进行通信。示例性的,当所述终端处于连接状态时,所述终端接收所述5GC发送的切换指令;所述终端根据所述切换指令,从所述5G网络切换到所述LTE网络,所述终端根据所述上下文信息,通过所述LTE网络进行通信,终端不向LTE网络发起随机接入,只进行跟踪区更新即可。
在本申请实施例中,因为终端在双注册模式下,确定存在N26接口时,终端从双注册 模式切换到单注册模式,无需在5GC和EPC都进行注册,节省了系统资源。
如图7所示,图7为本申请实施例中网络注册模式切换的方法的另一个实施例示意图,包括:
701、终端当前在双注册模式下工作。
702、终端向5GC发送注册请求。
703、5GC向终端发送注册结果。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中步骤701-步骤703与上述图6所示的实施例中步骤601-步骤603相同,此处不再赘述。
704、若终端根据注册结果,确定不存在N26接口,则终端保持双注册模式。
当该注册结果指示网络不存在N26接口时,终端保持当前工作的双注册模式即可。该注册结果为5GC根据终端的注册请求发送的注册结果。
需要说明的是,该注册结果可以携带注册是否成功的指示信息、网络与终端协商的信道能力、可提供的服务、5GC为终端重新分配的身份标识、网络中是否存在N26接口的指示信息等。需要说明的是,当前的双注册模式可以认为是终端向5G核心网设备发起注册,也向LTE核心网设备发起注册。
705、当终端在双注册模式下移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端通过LTE网络进行通信。
其中,当终端在双注册模式下移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,所述终端通过所述LTE网络进行通信,可以包括:当终端处于空闲状态或者连接状态,且移出5G网络的覆盖区域时,终端自己重选到LTE网络,终端向LTE网络发起随机接入进行跟踪区更新(tracking area update,TAU),并通过LTE网络进行通信。当终端处于LTE网络的覆盖范围后,若终端之前为空闲状态,则终端释放连接,再次处于空闲状态;若终端之前处于连接状态,则终端不会释放连接,继续处于连接状态。
需要说明的是,对于上述的实施例,在具体的实现方式中,可以任意组合成新的一个实施例,此处不再详细赘述。
