Description

基于异网漫游的接入方法和装置
本申请要求于2022年8月30日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202211061621.1、申请名称为“基于异网漫游的接入方法和装置”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于异网漫游的接入方法和装置。
背景技术
异网漫游是一项服务,通过该服务,给定公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)的终端设备能够从同一国家的任何地方或区域的另一个PLMN获得服务。目前,存在两种漫游场景,在一种漫游场景下,当终端设备在归属网络无信号覆盖时,终端设备需要漫游到拜访网络,由拜访网络为终端设备提供服务;在另一种漫游场景下,终端设备在归属网络的覆盖范围内只有第四代移动通信(the 4th generation mobile communication technology,4G)信号,没有第五代移动通信(the 5th generation mobile communication technology,5G)信号,终端设备需要漫游到拜访网络,由拜访网络为终端设备提供5G服务。通常,归属网络和拜访网络分别属于不同的运营商。
但是,上述拜访网络只有5G信号,没有4G信号,且存在一些不支持新无线的语音服务(voice over new radio,VoNR)的终端设备,当不支持VoNR的终端设备漫游到拜访网络时,终端设备将无法进行语音通话,用户体验较差。
发明内容

应理解,终端设备支持VoNR是终端设备支持异网漫游的一个必要条件,换句话说,支持VoNR的终端设备不一定支持异网漫游,但是,支持异网漫游的终端设备一定支持VoNR。
还应理解,上述核心网能力信息是终端设备先发送给接入网设备,再由接入网设备发送给核心网设备的,即上述核心网能力信息是接入网设备透传给核心网设备的。示例性地,核心网能力信息可以通过非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)信令发送。
本申请实施例提供的基于异网漫游的接入方法,终端设备向核心网设备发送核心网能力信息,在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,终端设备会接收到核心网设备发送的EPLMN列表,若终端设备不支持异网漫游,终端设备不会接收到核心网设备发送的EPLMN列表,终端设备会依旧驻留在归属网络,这样,对于不支持VoNR或异网漫游的终端设备而言,若归属网络存在4G信号,该终端设备可以继续使用归属网络下的4G信号进行语音通话,对于支持异网漫游的终端设备而言,该终端设备可以漫游到拜访网络,使用拜访网络下的5G信号进行语音通话,获得更高质量、更高速率的语音业务体验。因此,本申请实施例的基于异网漫游的接入方法,有利于保障终端设备在异网漫游场景下的语音通话,从而提升用户体验。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该第一指示信息或该第二指示信息为该核心网能力信息中的空闲比特。
示例性地,当核心网能力信息中的空闲比特为第一值时,第一指示信息指示终端设备支持VoNR,或者,第二指示信息指示终端设备支持异网漫游;当核心网能力信息中的空闲比特为第二值时,第一指示信息指示终端设备不支持VoNR,或者,第二指示信息指示终端设备不支持异网漫游。示例性地,上述空闲比特可以为1比特,第一值为1,第二值为0,或者,第一值为0,第二值为1,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,核心网能力信息包括该第二指示信息;该终端设备确定该第二指示信息,包括:该终端设备根据下列信息中的至少一个,判断该终端设备是否支持异网漫游:该终端设备是否支持VoNR;该终端设备是否支持承载异网漫游的频段;该终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射;该终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络的快速紧急呼叫策略;该终端设备的归属网络是否为预设网络。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该终端设备接收来自该核心网设备的等效公共陆地移动网络EPLMN列表。
进一步地,终端设备可以按照EPLMN列表中的PLMN网络进行搜网,从而漫游到拜访网络上。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,该方法还包括:在该终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,该终端设备开启对异网漫游频段的搜网,和/或,接入EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络;或者,在该终端设备不支持异网漫游的情况下,该终端设备关闭对异网漫游频段的搜网,和/或,禁止接入EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络。

应理解,在上述通信系统中,终端设备、接入网设备和核心网设备都可以有多个,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
应理解,图1只是示意图,该通信系统100中还可以包括其它网络设备,例如,无线中继设备和无线回传设备,图1中未示出。本申请实施例对该通信系统100中包括的核心网设备、接入网设备和终端设备的数量不做限定。
异网漫游是一项服务,通过该服务,给定公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)的终端设备能够从同一国家的任何地方或区域的另一个PLMN获得服务。目前,存在两种漫游场景,在一种漫游场景下,当终端设备在归属网络无信号覆盖时,终端设备需要漫游到拜访网络,由拜访网络为终端设备提供服务;在另一种漫游场景下,终端设备在归属网络的覆盖范围内只有第四代移动通信(the 4th generation mobile communication technology,4G)信号,没有第五代移动通信(the 5th generation mobile communication technology,5G)信号,终端设备需要漫游到拜访网络,由拜访网络为终端设备提供5G服务。
但是,上述拜访网络只有5G信号,没有4G信号,且存在一些不支持新无线的语音服务(voice over new radio,VoNR)的终端设备,当不支持VoNR的终端设备漫游到拜访网络时,终端设备将无法进行语音通话,用户体验较差。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提出了一种基于异网漫游的接入方法,有利于保障终端设备在异网漫游场景下的语音通话,从而提升用户体验。
为便于理解,首先对本申请实施例所涉及的术语进行简单介绍。
1、公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN):由政府或其所批准的经营者,为公众提供陆地移动通信业务目的而建立和经营的网络。该网络通常与公众交换电话网互连,形成整个地区或国家规模的通信网。
2、等效公共陆地移动网络(equivalent public land mobile network,EPLMN):是与终端设备当前所选择的PLMN处于同等地位的PLMN。EPLMN主要解决共享网络与原网络的用户驻留和漫游策略。运营商可以配置EPLMN,这些网络之间可以实现通信网络资源共享。从业务的角度,它使得不同运营商的网络资源之间,或者同一运营商定义的不同PLMN之间可以实现通信网络资源共享。
应理解,归属网络和拜访网络会互发EPLMN。例如,终端设备的归属网络的PLMN为PLMN1,拜访网络的PLMN为PLMN2,拜访网络和归属网络会互发对方网络PLMN为EPLMN,这样,当PLMN1下无网络或者只有4G网络时,按照现有标准规定的搜 网流程,终端设备会漫游到EPLMN(即PLMN2)的5G网络下驻留。
3、新无线的语音服务(voice over new radio,VoNR):也称为新空口的语音服务、新空口承载语音、5G网络的目标语音解决方案等,支持VoNR的终端设备可以基于NR网络直接进行语音通话,无需回落到4G网络,从而获得更高质量的语音业务体验和更高速率的数据业务体验。
下面将详细说明本申请提供的各个实施例。
本申请实施例以终端设备、接入网设备和核心网设备为例进行描述,应理解,终端设备可以替换为能够实现与终端设备类似的功能的装置或芯片,接入网设备也可以替换为能够实现与接入网设备类似的功能的装置或芯片,核心网设备也可以替换为能够实现与核心网设备类似的功能的装置或芯片,本申请实施例对其名称不作限定。
图2是本申请实施例提供的一种基于异网漫游的接入方法200的示意性流程图。该方法可以应用于上述通信系统100中。该方法200包括下列步骤:
S201,终端设备确定第一指示信息或第二指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备是否支持新无线的语音服务VoNR,第二指示信息用于指示终端设备是否支持异网漫游。
应理解,终端设备支持VoNR是终端设备支持异网漫游的一个必要条件,换句话说,支持VoNR的终端设备不一定支持异网漫游,但是,支持异网漫游的终端设备一定支持VoNR。
S202,终端设备向核心网设备发送核心网能力信息,该核心网能力信息包括上述第一指示信息或第二指示信息。对应地,核心网设备接收来自终端设备的核心网能力信息。
应理解,上述核心网能力信息是终端设备先发送给接入网设备,再由接入网设备发送给核心网设备的,即上述核心网能力信息是接入网设备透传给核心网设备的。示例性地,核心网能力信息可以通过非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)信令发送。
S203,核心网设备基于核心网能力信息,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。
在核心网能力信息包括第一指示信息(即指示终端设备是否支持VoNR)的情况下,核心网设备可以根据该第一指示信息以及其他信息进行判断。在核心网能力信息包括第二指示信息(即指示终端设备是否支持异网漫游)的情况下,核心网设备可以基于该第二指示信息直接判断出终端设备是否支持异网漫游。
S204,在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,核心网设备向终端设备发送EPLMN列表;对应地,终端设备接收来自核心网设备的EPLMN列表。
进一步地,终端设备可以按照EPLMN列表中的PLMN网络进行搜网,从而漫游到拜访网络上。
在本申请实施例中,核心网设备只有在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,才会向终端设备发送EPLMN列表,若终端设备不支持异网漫游,核心网设备不会向终端设备发送EPLMN列表,终端设备依旧驻留在归属网络。这样,对于不支持VoNR或异网漫游的终端设备而言,若归属网络存在4G信号,该终端设备可以继续使用归属网络下的4G信号进行语音通话,对于支持异网漫游的终端设备而言,该终端设备可以漫游到拜访网络,使用拜访网络下的5G信号进行语音通话,获得更高质量、更高速 率的语音业务体验。因此,本申请实施例的基于异网漫游的接入方法,有利于保障终端设备在异网漫游场景下的语音通话,从而提升用户体验。
下面,按照上述核心网能力信息的具体内容,分两种可能的实现方式进行解释说明。
在一种可能的实现方式中,核心网能力信息包括第一指示信息,上述S203,核心网设备基于核心网能力信息,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游,包括:核心网设备根据下列信息中的至少一个,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游:
(1)第一指示信息,即终端设备是否支持VoNR;
(2)终端设备是否支持承载异网漫游的频段;
(3)终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射;
(4)终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络的快速紧急呼叫策略;
(5)终端设备的归属网络是否为预设网络。
示例性地,核心网设备可以仅根据上述信息中的(1)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持VoNR时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
示例性地,核心网设备可以根据上述信息中的(1)和(2)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR且支持承载异网漫游的频段时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持VoNR和/或不支持承载异网漫游的频段时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
应理解,上述承载异网漫游的频段可以为700M的n28频段,由当前网络部署决定,终端设备会向核心网设备上报自身所支持的频段(例如,通过核心网能力信息上报),以便核心网设备进行判断。
示例性地,核心网设备可以根据上述信息中的(1)、(2)和(3)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR、支持承载异网漫游的频段、且支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持(1)、(2)和(3)中的任一项时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
示例性地,核心网设备可以根据上述信息中的(1)、(2)和(5)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR、支持承载异网漫游的频段、且终端设备的归属网络不是预设网络时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持(1)和/或(2)、或者终端设备的归属网络是预设网络时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
应理解,这里的预设网络可以表示为特定运营商,在特定运营商下,即便归属网络为4G信号,但由于该特定运营商在归属网络下4G信号的覆盖、网速和通话连续性都相对于拜访网络的5G信号要好,不必使终端设备漫游到拜访网络上。
示例性地,核心网设备可以根据上述信息中的(1)~(4)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR、支持承载异网漫游的频段、支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射、且支持异网漫游后拜访网络的快速紧急呼叫策略时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持(1)~(4)中的任一项时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
应理解,上述快速紧急呼叫策略具体可以为在拜访网络下直接以普通呼叫的流程 发起紧急呼叫。
示例性地,核心网设备可以根据上述信息中的(1)~(5)判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。当终端设备支持VoNR、支持承载异网漫游的频段、支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射、支持异网漫游后拜访网络的快速紧急呼叫策略、且终端设备的归属网络不是预设网络时,终端设备支持异网漫游;当终端设备不支持(1)~(5)中的任一项、或者终端设备的归属网络是预设网络时,终端设备不支持异网漫游。
在本申请实施例中,信息(1)~(5)可以任意组合,由核心网设备根据组合后的信息进行判断,上述示例仅以其中一些可能的情况进行了说明,其他情况类似,此处不再一一列出。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,核心网能力信息包括第二指示信息,上述S201,终端设备确定第二指示信息,包括:
终端设备根据下列信息中的至少一个,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游:
(1)终端设备是否支持VoNR;
(2)终端设备是否支持承载异网漫游的频段;
(3)终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络和归属网络之间的切片映射;
(4)终端设备是否支持异网漫游后拜访网络的快速紧急呼叫策略;
(5)终端设备的归属网络是否为预设网络。
终端设备判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游的方法与核心网设备判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游的方法相同,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
作为一个可选的实施例,上述第一指示信息或第二指示信息为核心网能力信息中的空闲比特。
示例性地,当核心网能力信息中的空闲比特为第一值时,第一指示信息指示终端设备支持VoNR,或者,第二指示信息指示终端设备支持异网漫游;当核心网能力信息中的空闲比特为第二值时,第一指示信息指示终端设备不支持VoNR,或者,第二指示信息指示终端设备不支持异网漫游。示例性地,上述空闲比特可以为1比特,第一值为1,第二值为0,或者,第一值为0,第二值为1,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
下面结合表一给出核心网能力信息的各个字段的具体含义。
表一
在表一中,选定一个空闲比特位的字段,用于携带上述第一指示信息或第二指示信息,当该字段的比特为0时,终端设备不支持VoNR或不支持异网漫游;当该字段的比特的字段为1时,终端设备支持VoNR或支持异网漫游。
作为一个可选的实施例,在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,终端设备开启对异网漫游频段的搜网,和/或,接入EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络;或者,在终端设备不支持异网漫游的情况下,终端设备关闭对异网漫游频段的搜网,和/或,禁止接入EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络。
这里的异网漫游的频段例如可以为700M的n28频段,由当前网络部署决定。这里的EPLMN列表中可以包括至少一个拜访网络的网络标识。
假设终端设备不支持异网漫游,但核心网设备为终端设备下发了EPLMN列表,终端设备可以禁止接入该EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络,即终端设备不驻留在该EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络。
在本申请实施例中,在终端设备不支持异网漫游的情况下,无论核心网设备是否为该终端设备下发EPLMN列表,终端设备可以关闭对异网漫游频段的搜网,和/或,禁止接入EPLMN列表中包括的网络标识所对应的拜访网络,确保终端设备不会漫游到拜访网络,且节省了终端设备的能耗。
下面以上述信息(1)和(5)组合,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游为例,对本申请实施例进行说明。
图3是本申请实施例提供的另一种基于异网漫游的接入方法300的示意性流程图。该方法300可以应用于上述通信系统100中,由终端设备执行。该方法300包括下列步骤:

图4是本申请实施例提供的另一种终端设备的接入方法400的示意性流程图。该方法可以应用于上述通信系统100中。该方法400包括下列步骤:
S401,核心网设备向接入网设备发送无线能力查询请求,无线能力查询请求用于 请求查询终端设备的无线能力。对应地,接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的无线能力查询请求。
应理解,终端设备的能力信息包括无线能力信息和核心网能力信息,其中,无线能力信息可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令上报,核心网能力信息可以通过NAS信令上报。无线能力信息中包括了用于指示终端设备是否支持VoNR或是否支持异网漫游的信息,但核心网设备无法解析,需要向接入网设备发送无线能力查询请求。
S402,接入网设备基于上述无线能力查询请求,向核心网设备发送无线能力查询响应,该无线能力查询响应包括第一指示信息或第二指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备是否支持VoNR,第二指示信息用于指示终端设备是否支持异网漫游。对应地,核心网设备接收来自接入网设备的无线能力查询响应。
应理解,当接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的无线能力查询请求之后,接入网设备对终端设备的无线能力信息进行解析,获得上述第一指示信息或第二指示信息,向核心网设备发送无线能力查询响应。
S403,核心网设备基于无线能力查询响应,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游。
在无线能力查询响应包括第一指示信息(即指示终端设备是否支持VoNR)的情况下,核心网设备基于该第一指示信息以及其他信息进行判断。在无线能力查询响应包括第二指示信息(即指示终端设备是否支持异网漫游)的情况下,核心网设备可以基于该第二指示信息直接判断出终端设备是否支持异网漫游。
S404,在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,核心网设备向终端设备发送EPLMN列表。
进一步地,终端设备接收来自核心网设备的EPLMN列表,终端设备可以按照EPLMN列表中的PLMN网络进行搜网,从而漫游到拜访网络上。
在本申请实施例中,核心网设备只有在终端设备支持异网漫游的情况下,才会向终端设备发送EPLMN列表,若终端设备不支持异网漫游,核心网设备不会向终端设备发送EPLMN列表,终端设备依旧驻留在归属网络。这样,对于不支持VoNR或异网漫游的终端设备而言,若归属网络存在4G信号,该终端设备可以继续使用归属网络下的4G信号进行语音通话,对于支持异网漫游的终端设备而言,该终端设备可以漫游到拜访网络,使用拜访网络下的5G信号进行语音通话,获得更高质量、更高速率的语音业务体验。因此,本申请实施例的基于异网漫游的接入方法,有利于保障终端设备在异网漫游场景下的语音通话,从而提升用户体验。
下面,按照上述无线能力查询响应的具体内容,分两种可能的实现方式进行解释说明。
在一种可能的实现方式中,无线能力信息包括第一指示信息,无线能力查询响应包括第一指示信息,上述S403,核心网设备基于无线能力查询响应,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游,包括:核心网设备根据下列信息中的至少一个,判断终端设备是否支持异网漫游:

(5)终端设备的归属网络是否为预设网络。
