Description

Communication method and access network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and an access network device.

Background

The fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th-generation, 5G) network provides multiple slicing modes, which can satisfy the demands of both customers (2C) and enterprises (2B).

The transceiver devices (e.g. access network devices) in a 5G network are typically multi-antenna devices, such as: 64 Transceiver and Receiver (TR) devices, resulting in very high networking costs. Therefore, operators are seeking a solution for co-establishing a base station by multiple operators and performing network deployment by using the co-established base station. The co-building of the base station means that one base station can meet the requirements of multiple operators, and the equipment of the multiple operators is not centralized in the same base station.

How the base station after being co-constructed distinguishes the 2B and the 2C of each operator, and accesses the 2B and the 2C of each operator to the corresponding core network becomes a problem to be solved urgently.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention provides a communication method and access network equipment, which solve the problem of how to distinguish 2B and 2C of each operator by a base station after co-construction and access the 2B and 2C of each operator to a corresponding core network.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present invention provides a communication method, where a core network device supports at least one operator core network. When the access network device acquires the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from the core network device, the access network device needs to determine the service type of the terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier. Because each operator core network corresponds to one network identifier, when the access network device determines that the service type and the network identifier meet the preset conditions, the terminal needs to be accessed to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network device.

According to the scheme, in the communication method provided by the invention, the core network equipment supports at least one operator core network. When the access network device is a base station and the service types include 2B and 2C, the base station may distinguish the service type of the terminal indicated by the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier obtained from the core network device, thereby realizing the distinction between 2B and 2C of the operator.

It is well known that the operator core networks that serve different types of traffic differ. Therefore, after determining the service type of the terminal, it is further required to determine the operator core network to which the terminal needs to access through the service type and the network identifier. When the service type and the network identifier meet the preset conditions, the base station accesses the terminal to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network equipment, so that the terminals with different service types are accessed to the corresponding operator core network. Therefore, the problem of how to distinguish the 2B and the 2C of each operator by the base station after the co-construction and access the 2B and the 2C of each operator to the corresponding core network is solved.

In a second aspect, the present invention provides an access network device, including: an acquisition unit and a processing unit.

Specifically, the obtaining unit is configured to obtain the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from the core network device. The core network device supports at least one operator core network, and each operator core network corresponds to a network identifier.

The processing unit is configured to determine the service type of the terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier acquired by the acquiring unit.

The processing unit is further configured to access the terminal to an operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network device when the service type and the network identifier obtained by the obtaining unit meet the preset condition.

In a third aspect, the present invention provides an access network device, including: communication interface, processor, memory, bus; the memory is used for storing computer execution instructions, and the processor is connected with the memory through a bus.

When the access network device is operating, the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored by the memory to cause the access network device to perform the communication method as provided in the first aspect above.

In a fourth aspect, the invention provides a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions. The instructions, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform the communication method as provided in the first aspect above.

In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides a computer program product which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to perform the communication method as set forth in the first aspect.

It should be noted that all or part of the above computer instructions may be stored on the first computer readable storage medium. The first computer readable storage medium may be packaged with the processor of the access network device or may be packaged separately from the processor of the access network device, which is not limited in the present invention.

Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.

For the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, in the embodiments of the present invention, the words "first", "second", and the like are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and actions, and those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second", and the like do not limit the quantity and execution order.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method, which is applied to a network system shown in fig. 1, where the network system may include: a terminal 1, an access network device 2 and a core network device 3. Wherein each core network device supports at least one operator core network.

For example, taking the access device 2 as a base station and the core network device 3 supporting at least one operator core network of a preset operator as an example for description, a specific implementation process is as follows:

specifically, the operator core network may be a private network core network (also referred to as a private network) or the operator core network may be a public network core network.

Specifically, the first network type is different from the second network type. Illustratively, the first network type is a private network and the second network type is a public network.

Specifically, the network identifier includes a public network identifier and a private network identifier, each public network core network corresponds to one public network identifier, and each private network core network corresponds to one private network identifier.

When the base station 2 acquires the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from the core network device 3, the base station 2 needs to determine the service type of the terminal 1 corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier.

When the base station 2 determines that the service type is a service of a public network (also referred to as a public network service or 2C), and the network identifier is a public network identifier, the base station 2 accesses the terminal 1 to a public network core network corresponding to the public network identifier through the core network device 3.

When the base station 2 determines that the service type is a service of a private network (also referred to as a private network service or 2B), and the network identifier is a private network identifier, the base station 2 accesses the terminal 1 to a private network core network corresponding to the private network identifier through the core network device 3.

Fig. 2 shows an architecture of the access network device 2 in the above communication method. As shown in fig. 2, the access network device 2 includes: the device comprises a radio frequency unit and a baseband processing unit. The radio frequency unit is connected to the base station processing unit through a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), and the private network core networks of the operator a, the operator B, the operator a, and the operator B are connected to the baseband processing unit of the access network device 2 through NG interfaces.

The baseband processing unit includes a Control Plane (CP) and a User Plane (UP).

The control plane CP includes a carrier frequency detection module, a network identifier detection module, and a core network selection module. The network identifier detection module is used for acquiring the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from the core network device 3; the carrier frequency detection module is used for determining the working frequency point of the terminal 1 indicated by the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier acquired by the network identifier detection module; the core network selection module is used for determining the service type of the terminal 1 according to the working frequency point determined by the carrier frequency detection module; and when the service type and the network identifier are determined to meet the preset conditions, accessing the terminal 1 to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network equipment 3.

The radio frequency unit comprises an antenna unit, a switch, a first combiner for processing uplink data, a second combiner for processing downlink data and at least two transceivers.

Each transceiver includes a Digital Up Conversion (DUC), a digital to analog converter (DAC), a transmit antenna (TX), a receive antenna (RX), an analog to digital converter (ADC), and a Digital Down Conversion (DDC).

Specifically, in the communication method provided by the present invention, a plurality of communication links are provided for each operator, and each communication link is used for carrying service data of the same service type of the operator.

For example, referring to fig. 2, taking an example that an operator a and an operator b access an access network device 2 through an NG interface at the same time, a specific implementation process is as follows:

when the service types of the operator a and the operator B both include services of a public network and services of a private network, the access network device 2 needs to include 4 communication links (e.g., a first communication link including a baseband processing unit, a first transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit, a second communication link including a baseband processing unit, a second transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit, a third communication link including a baseband processing unit, a third transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit, and a fourth communication link including a baseband processing unit, a fourth transceiver, a first combiner, a second combiner, a switch, and an antenna unit) for respectively carrying service data (also referred to as private network service data) generated by the operator a 2B and service data (also referred to as public network service data) generated by the operator B, And private network service data and public network service data of operator B.

Specifically, each of the first communication link, the second communication link, the third communication link, and the fourth communication link includes a carrier link for transmitting uplink data and a carrier link for transmitting downlink data. Such as: the first communication link comprises a carrier link composed of a baseband processing unit, a DUC1, a DAC1, a TX1, a first combiner, a switch and an antenna unit and used for transmitting uplink data, and a carrier link composed of a baseband processing unit, a DDC1, an ADC1, an RX1, a second combiner, a switch and an antenna unit and used for transmitting downlink data.

It is assumed that the access network device 2 carries the public service data of the operator a through the first communication link, carries the private network service data of the operator a through the second communication link, carries the public network service data of the operator b through the third communication link, and carries the private network service data of the operator b through the fourth communication link.

As can be seen from fig. 2, when the terminal 1 of the operator a initiates 2B, the access network device 2 transmits private network service data through the first communication link. Wherein, the uplink data in the private network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator a is transmitted through the carrier link for transmitting the uplink data in the first communication link.

When the terminal 1 of the operator a initiates 2C, the access network device 2 transmits public network service data through the second communication link. Wherein, the uplink data in the public network service data of the terminal 1 in the operator a is transmitted through the carrier link for transmitting the uplink data in the second communication link.

And then, combining uplink data in the service data of the public network and uplink data in the service data of the private network together through a first combiner, and outputting the combined uplink data to an antenna unit.

When the terminal 1 of the operator a or the operator b transmits uplink data, the access network device 2 receives downlink data responding to the uplink data. When the antenna unit of the access network device 2 receives the downlink data, the downlink data needs to be distinguished through the second combiner. When it is determined that the downlink data includes downlink data of the private network of the terminal 1 of the operator a, the downlink data needs to be transmitted to the terminal 1 through the carrier link for transmitting the downlink data in the first communication link. When it is determined that the downlink data includes downlink data of the public network of the terminal 1 of the operator a, the downlink data needs to be transmitted to the terminal 1 through the carrier link for transmitting the downlink data in the second communication link.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the access network device 2 may be an access network device (BTS) in a global system for mobile communication (GSM), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), an access network device (Node B, NB) in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), an access network device (evolved Node B, eNB) in a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE), an access network device (eNB) in an internet of things (IoT) or a narrowband internet of things (IoT-NB-B-n-network, an access network device in a future 5G mobile communication network or a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) in a future Evolution, which is not limited in this respect.

The terminal 1 is used to provide voice and/or data connectivity services to a user. The terminal 1 may have different names such as User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a terminal unit, a terminal station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a vehicular user equipment, a terminal agent, or a terminal device. Optionally, the terminal 1 may be various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, and computers with communication functions, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the handheld device may be a smartphone. The in-vehicle device may be an in-vehicle navigation system. The wearable device may be a smart bracelet. The computer may be a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) computer, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.

The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the network system shown in fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 3, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S11-S13:

s11, the access network device 2 obtains the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from the core network device 3. The core network device 3 supports at least one operator core network, and each operator core network corresponds to a network identifier.

Specifically, the correspondence between the terminal identifier and the network identifier is shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

Terminal identification	Network identification
		T1	PLMN A1
T2	PLMN B1
		TN	PLMN AN

Specifically, the terminal identifier may be a mobile phone code (IMEI) of the terminal 1.

Specifically, the access network device 2 may obtain the terminal identifier and the network identifier corresponding to the terminal identifier from a system information type 1 (SIB 1) message carrying the terminal identifier and the network identifier and sent by the core network device 3.

And S12, the access network device 2 determines the service type of the terminal 1 corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier.

Specifically, S12 includes: s120, the access network equipment 2 determines the currently adopted working frequency point of the terminal 1 corresponding to the terminal identification according to the terminal identification. S121, the access network equipment 2 determines the service type of the terminal 1 according to the working frequency point.

Illustratively, the access network device 2 determines the working frequency point by checking frequency information in a Management Information Base (MIB) signaling reported by the terminal 1.

Specifically, the access network device 2 may query the first configuration table according to the working frequency point of the terminal 1, and determine a preset operator to which the terminal 1 belongs and a service type of the terminal 1. The first configuration table comprises the corresponding relation among the frequency point information, the preset operator and the service type.

Specifically, when the preset operators include an operator a, an operator B, and an operator C, and the frequency point information is a frequency point interval, the first configuration table is shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

For example, assume that the operating frequency point of terminal 1 is a. As can be seen from table 2, when the working frequency point a is within the frequency point interval a1-a2, the service type of the terminal 1 is public network service.

Specifically, when the preset operators include an operator a, an operator B, and an operator C, and the frequency point information is a frequency point set, the first configuration table is shown in table 3.

TABLE 3

For example, assume that the operating frequency point of terminal 1 is a. As can be seen from table 3, when the working frequency point a is AN, since AN is one element in the frequency point set { a1, a2, … …, AN }, it is determined that the service type of the terminal 1 is a public network service.

And S13, when the service type and the network identifier are determined to meet the preset conditions, the access network device 2 accesses the terminal 1 to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network device 3.

Specifically, in practical application, the network identifier includes any one of a private network identifier and a public network identifier, the operator core network includes at least one of a private network core network and a public network core network, each private network core network corresponds to one private network identifier, each public network core network corresponds to one public network identifier, and S13 includes: s130, the access network equipment 2 determines that the service type is the service of the first network type, and when the network identifier is the private network identifier, the terminal 1 is accessed to the private network core network corresponding to the private network identifier through the core network equipment 3. S131, the access network device 2 determines that the service type is the service of the second network type, and when the network identifier is the public network identifier, the core network device 3 accesses the terminal 1 to the public network core network corresponding to the public network identifier.

Specifically, each operator corresponds to one PLMN. In the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the core network device 3 divides PLMNs of each operator according to a preset rule, and determines different network identifiers, thereby implementing a distinction between a public network core network and a private network core network of each operator.

For example, the correspondence between the network identifier, the preset operator, and the operator core network is shown in table 4.

TABLE 4

For example, assume that the network identity is PLMN AN. As can be seen from table 3, the information carrying the terminal identifier and the network identifier is sent by the private core network N of the operator a.

For example, the description will be given by taking AN example that a private network core network N of AN operator a sends information carrying a terminal identifier and a network identifier PLMN AN to AN access network device 2 through a core network device 3.

After receiving the information sent by the core network device 3, the access network device 2 determines the working frequency point of the terminal 1 corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier in the information.

Then, the access network device 2 determines the service type of the terminal 1 according to the table 2 or the table 3 and the working frequency point of the terminal 1. When the service type is 2B and the network identifier PLMN AN is a private network identifier, the access network device 2 accesses the terminal 1 to a private network core network N of the operator a through the core network device 3.

For example, the public network core network M of the operator a sends the information carrying the terminal identifier and the network identifier PLMN AM to the access network device 2 through the core network device 3.

Then, the access network device 2 determines the service type of the terminal 1 according to the table 2 or the table 3 and the working frequency point of the terminal 1. When the service type is 2C and the network identifier PLMN AM is a public network identifier, the access network device 2 accesses the terminal 1 to a public network core network M of the operator a through the core network device 3.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, in combination with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the above S12 may include S120 and S121.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, in combination with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the above S13 may include S130 and S131.

Meanwhile, different operator core networks provide services for different types of services. Therefore, after determining the service type of the terminal, it is further required to determine the operator core network to which the terminal needs to access through the service type and the network identifier. When the service type and the network identifier meet the preset conditions, the base station accesses the terminal to the operator core network corresponding to the network identifier through the core network equipment, so that the terminals with different service types are accessed to the corresponding operator core network. Therefore, the problem of how to distinguish the 2B and the 2C of each operator by the base station after the co-construction and access the 2B and the 2C of each operator to the corresponding core network is solved.
