The communication system 100 further comprises at least one terminal device 120 located within the coverage area of the access network device 110.

Optionally, in some scenarios, the communication system 100 may further include an access network device 130, and the access network device 130 may also provide network services for the terminal device 120. For example, the access network device 120 and the access network device 130 may provide services to terminal devices through multiple connections (DC), and as an example, the access network device 120 may be a primary access network device and the access network device 130 may be a secondary access network device. Optionally, the communication system may further comprise a plurality of secondary access network devices. The terminal device may establish a connection with the primary access network device and the secondary access network device simultaneously. The connection established between the terminal equipment and the main access network equipment is the main connection, and the connection established between the terminal equipment and the auxiliary access network equipment is the auxiliary connection. The control signaling of the terminal device can be transmitted through the main connection, and the data of the terminal device can be transmitted through the main connection and the auxiliary connection at the same time, or can be transmitted through the auxiliary connection only.
As an example, the access network device 120 may be an access network device of an LTE network, e.g., an evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (E-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, E-UTRAN), and the access network device 130 may be an access network device of an NR network. As another example, the access network device 120 may be an access network device of an NR network and the access network device 130 may be an access network device of an LTE network. Or the access network device 120 and the access network device 130 are both access network devices of an NR network, or are both access network devices of an LTE network, etc.
In other embodiments, the access network device 120 and the access network device 130 may also be access network devices in a 2G or 3G network, for example, the access network device 120 may be an access network device of a GSM network, an access network device of a CDMA network, or the like, and the access network device 130 may also be an access network device of a GSM network, an access network device of a CDMA network, or the like.

In some embodiments, the communication system may further comprise a core network device 150, which core network device 150 may be, for example, a 5G core network (5G Core Network,5GC), e.g., an access and mobility management function (ACCESS AND Mobility Management Function, AMF), further e.g., an authentication server function (Authentication Server Function, AUSF), further e.g., a user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), etc.
Fig. 1 illustrates four network devices and one terminal device by way of example, and the communication system 100 may alternatively include more network devices and may include other numbers of terminal devices within the coverage area of each network device, as embodiments of the application are not limited in this regard.
In some scenarios, the deployment of the network may include independent (Standalone, SA) networking and Non-independent (Non-standalone, NSA) networking, and FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of one way of connecting SA networking and NAS networking.
For the SA networking approach, as an example, a next generation access network (Next Generation Radio Access Network, NG-RAN) is connected to a core network of the 5G network, i.e. the 5GC, and the NR-RAN may include, for example, an E-UTRAN (i.e. an access network device of the LTE network) and an access network device of the NR network, where the E-UTRAN and the 5GC may communicate through N2/N3 messages, and the NR and the 5GC may communicate through N2/N3 messages. The terminal device may initiate a registration procedure with the 5GC using an N1 Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message.
In the SA network, a terminal device using a 5GC network may be referred to as an N1 UE, and the N1 UE may transmit control information or data only through the E-UTRAN, or may transmit control information or data only through the NR access network, or may transmit control information or data through the E-UTRAN and the NR access network.
For NSA networking, as an example, the E-UTRAN may be connected to the EPC as a primary access network device (or anchor node), and the access network device of the NR network may provide data transmission over the air as a secondary access network device, where the E-UTRAN and the EPC may communicate via S1 messages, and the NR and the E-UTRAN may communicate via the X2 interface. The terminal device may initiate a registration procedure with the EPC using the EPC NAS message.
In NSA networks, terminal devices using EPC networks may be referred to as EPC UEs, which may transmit control plane and user plane data only through E-UTRAN, or may transmit user plane data through E-UTRAN and NR access networks.
Optionally, in the SA network and NSA network, EPC and 5GC may also be connected to a co-located network element of a home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS) and Unified data management (Unified DATA MANAGEMENT, UDM), i.e. the co-located network element has functions of both HSS and UDM, and the co-located network element of HSS and UDM may be used to authenticate and store the identity of a user and manage the authentication data of the user.
For different operators, there are differences in network deployment, e.g. in the early stages of 5G network deployment, since different networks may support different services, e.g. part of the services do not have support in the SA network, the terminal Device still needs to perform these services in the LTE network, e.g. the 5G SA network may support only enhanced mobile ultra wideband (Enhance Mobile Broadband, eMBB) services, while for other services, e.g. cellular physical network (Cellular Internet of Things, CIoT), vehicle-to-other devices (Vehicle to Everything, V2X), terminal-to-terminal (D2D) services, still need to be performed under the EPC network.
When the area where the terminal device is located includes both SA and NSA networks, i.e. the network device is covered by the 5GC and EPC, the terminal device may initiate a registration procedure to the 5GC and may also initiate an attach procedure to the EPC, but any selection of the core network to be accessed may cause access failure. Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a scenario in which a terminal device performs core network registration.
Step 21, the ue selects a core network for registration, for example, the terminal device selects to send a registration request to the 5 GC;
correspondingly, the 5GC receives the registration request and determines that the terminal device is not allowed to use the 5GC.
Further in step 22, the 5GC sends a registration request rejection message to the UE, the registration request rejection message including a specific cause value, e.g., the 5GC should not be used.
In step 23, the UE initiates a registration request to another core network after receiving the specific cause value, e.g. the terminal device may initiate a registration request to the EPC, which may also be referred to as an attach request for the EPC network.
In step 24, the EPC sends an attach request reply message to the UE indicating that the UE attached the EPC successfully.
In other embodiments, the UE may first choose to initiate a registration request to the EPC, and after the registration fails, may further initiate a registration request to the 5GC, and if the registration is successful, the terminal device may use the 5GC to perform communication.
The core network registration failure may cause multiple interactions, bring unnecessary signaling overhead, increase the time for accessing the network by the UE, and affect the user experience.
In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for wireless communication, where a terminal device may register a core network according to network device configuration or history information of core network selection, so as to reduce probability of core network registration failure and improve user experience.
It should be understood that, the application scenario of the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, and the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a scenario where multiple networking modes coexist, where the multiple networking modes include, but are not limited to, the networking mode shown in fig. 2, or may also be applied to other scenarios where multiple core networks coexist and need to perform core network selection, for example, a scenario where a core network is selected to perform session connection establishment, and so on.
It should be understood that a device having a communication function in a network/system according to an embodiment of the present application may be referred to as a communication device. Taking the communication system 100 shown in fig. 1 as an example, the communication device may include an access network device, a terminal device, and a core network device with communication functions, where the access network device, the terminal device, and the core network device may be the specific devices described above, which are not described herein again.
It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are used interchangeably herein. The term "and/or" is herein merely an association relationship describing an associated object, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are an "or" relationship.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a method of wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 may be performed by a terminal device in the communication system shown in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 4, the method 200 may include at least part of the following:
S210, the terminal equipment determines a preferred core network type according to first information or second information, wherein the first information is information configured by the network equipment and used for core network selection, and the second information is history information selected by the core network of the terminal equipment;
S220, the terminal equipment preferentially selects to initiate a registration process to the core network of the preferred core network type.
It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application may be applied to core network selection during core network registration, or may also be applied to other scenarios where core network selection is required, such as a session establishment scenario, where session establishment may also be referred to as protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU) connection establishment, PDU session establishment, or the like in a 5G network.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the preferred core network type, the terminal device may preferably perform subsequent NAS actions with the core network of the preferred core network type, for example, may initiate a registration procedure with the core network of the preferred core network type, or may also initiate a session establishment procedure with the core network of the preferred core network type, which is described below by taking a core network registration scenario as an example, but the present application is not limited thereto.
It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, there may be a plurality of core network types, and the plurality of core network types may include core networks of different networks, for example, at least two of the following, a core network in an LTE network (i.e., EPC), a core network in an NR network (i.e., 5 GC), a core network in a 2G or 3G network, a core network in an SA network (i.e., EPC), and a core network in an NSA network (5 GC), which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.
In the embodiment of the present application, the EPC may be a core network in a single LTE network, or may be a core network in NSA, and the EPC may be connected to only an LTE base station, or may also be connected to the EPC by a dual connection manner between the LTE base station and an NR base station.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, preferentially selecting to initiate the registration procedure with the core network of the preferred core network type may refer to preferentially selecting to initiate the registration procedure with the core network of the preferred core network type, and in case of registration failure with the core network of the preferred core network type, may select to initiate the registration procedure with the core networks of other core network types. Or preferably initiates the registration procedure with the core network of the preferred core network type may also mean that only the core network of the preferred core network type is able to initiate the registration procedure.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also determine, according to the first information or the second information, a NAS message type that is preferably used for performing core network registration, further, may preferably use the NAS message type to initiate a core network registration process, and in the case of registration failure, may use other NAS message types to initiate a core network registration process, and a manner of determining the NAS message type may refer to the specific implementation of determining the preferred core network type hereinafter.
The manner in which the preferred core network type is determined is described below in connection with specific embodiments.
Example 1: the terminal device may determine a preferred core network type among the plurality of core networks based on the first information configured by the network device.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of:
1. The prioritization of the core network types, or the use prioritization of the core network types, i.e. which core network type is used preferentially, or may be the priority information of the core network types.
Taking the example that the core network type includes 5GC and EPC, the priority order of the core network type may be arranged in order from high to low, for example, may be 5GC and EPC, which indicates that the priority of 5GC is higher than EPC, and may be EPC and 5GC, which indicates that the priority of EPC is higher than 5GC; or may be arranged in a low-to-high order, and will not be described in detail herein.
As an example, the priority information of the core network type may be that the priority of 5GC is a first priority, the priority of EPC is a second priority, where the first priority may be higher than the second priority, or the first priority may be lower than the second priority;
2. The priority of the use of the NAS message types of the non-access stratum, or the priority of the use of the NAS message types, i.e. which NAS message type is used preferentially, or may be priority information of the NAS message types.
Taking the example that the NAS message types include an N1 NAS message and an EPC NAS message, the priority ordering of the NAS message types may be arranged in order from high to low, for example, may be an N1 NAS message and an EPC NAS message, which indicate that the priority of the N1 NAS message is higher than that of the EPC NAS message, or may be an EPC NAS message and an N1 NAS message, which indicate that the priority of the EPC NAS message is higher than that of the N1 NAS message; or may be arranged in a low-to-high order, and will not be described in detail herein.
As an example, the priority information of the NAS message type may be that the priority of the N1 NAS message is a first priority, and the priority of the EPC NAS message is a second priority, where the first priority may be higher than the second priority, or the first priority may be lower than the second priority.
3. The priority orders of the access SA network and the NSA network, or the use priority orders of different networking modes, i.e. which networking mode core network is preferentially used, or the priority information of the networking modes may also be used.
The priority order of the access SA network and the NSA network may be arranged in the order from high to low, for example, the access SA network and the NSA network may be represented by the priority of the access SA network being higher than the NSA network, or the access SA network and the NSA network may be represented by the priority of the access NSA network being higher than the SA network; or may be arranged in a low-to-high order, and will not be described in detail herein.
As an example, the priority information of the networking manner may be that the priority of the SA network is a first priority, and the priority of the NSA network is a second priority, where the first priority may be higher than the second priority, or the first priority may be lower than the second priority.
4. A particular core network type, e.g., 5GC or EPC;
Alternatively, the specific core network type may be a core network type that allows the terminal device to register, or a core network type that the terminal device is expected to access, or a core network type that the terminal device can only access or must access,
5. A particular NAS message type, e.g., N1 NAS or EPC NAS;
Alternatively, the specific NAS message type may be a NAS message type that is allowed to be used by the terminal device, a NAS message type that is expected to be used by the terminal device, or a NAS message type that can only be used or must be used by the terminal device, etc.
6. Specific networking means, such as SA or NSA.
Alternatively, the specific networking mode may be a networking mode that allows the terminal device to use, a networking mode that is expected to be used by the terminal device, a networking mode that can only be used or must be used by the terminal device, or the like.
It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the NAS message type may have a correspondence with the core network type, for example, the N1 NAS message may correspond to a core network type of 5gc, and the core network type corresponding to EPC NAS is EPC.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the network device determines the first information according to information such as a service condition supported by a core network, subscription information of a terminal device, service information supported by the terminal device, a congestion condition of a current network, a number of users supported by the core network, and the like.
The specific description will be given taking as an example the determination of a preferred core network type among the first core network type and the second core network type.
For example, if the terminal device does not sign up for the first core network type and signs up for the second core network type, the first information may indicate that the second core network type has a higher priority than the first core network type, or that NAS messages of the second core network type have a higher priority than NAS messages of the first core network type.
For another example, if the terminal device supports the first service, the first core network type supports the first service, and the second core network type does not support the first service, the first information may indicate that the priority of the first core network type is higher than that of the second core network type, or that the priority of the NAS message type corresponding to the first core network type is higher than that of the NAS message type of the second core network type.
For another example, if the number of users supported by the first core network type is larger, the number of users supported by the second core network type is smaller, that is, the first core network type supports access of more terminal devices, the first information may indicate that the priority of the first core network type is higher than that of the second core network type, or that the priority of the NAS message type corresponding to the first core network type is higher than that of the NAS message type corresponding to the second core network type.
As an embodiment, if the first information indicates a usage prioritization of core network types, the terminal device may determine, according to the usage prioritization of core network types, a core network type with a highest priority as a preferred core network type.
For example, if the first information indicates that the priority of 5GC is higher than EPC, the terminal device may determine that 5GC is the target core network type.
As another embodiment, if the first information indicates the usage prioritization of NAS message types, the terminal device may determine, according to the usage prioritization of NAS message types, a core network type corresponding to a NAS message type with a highest priority as a preferred core network type.
For example, if the first information indicates that the priority of the N1 NAS message is higher than that of the EPC NAS message, the terminal device may determine that the core network type corresponding to the N1 NAS message is the preferred core network type. Or if the first information indicates that the priority of the N1 NAS message is higher than that of the EPC NAS message, the terminal device may directly use the N1 NAS message to initiate a registration procedure to the 5 GC.
As still another embodiment, if the first information indicates the priority order of accessing the SA network and the NAS network, the terminal device may determine the core network type corresponding to the networking mode with the highest priority as the preferred core network type.
For example, if the priority of accessing the SA network is higher than the priority of accessing the NSA network, the terminal device determines the core network type of the SA network as the preferred core network type; for another example, if the priority of accessing the SA network is lower than the priority of accessing the NSA network, the terminal device determines the core network type of the NSA network as the preferred core network type.
As still another embodiment, if the first information indicates a core network type for which the terminal device is allowed to register, the terminal device may determine the core network type for which the terminal device is allowed to register as a preferred core network type.
As still another embodiment, if the first information indicates a NAS message type that is allowed to be used by the terminal device, the terminal device may determine a core network type corresponding to the NAS message type that is allowed to be used by the terminal device as a preferred core network type. Or the terminal device may initiate the registration procedure directly using the NAS message type.
As still another embodiment, if the first information indicates a networking mode that allows the terminal device to access, the terminal device may determine a core network type corresponding to the networking mode that allows the terminal device to access as a preferred core network type.
For example, if the terminal device is allowed to access the SA network, the terminal device may determine the core network type of the SA network as a preferred core network type; for another example, if the terminal device is allowed to access the NSA network, the terminal device determines the core network type of the NSA network as a preferred core network type.
The following describes a configuration manner of the first information with reference to a specific embodiment.
As an embodiment, the first information may be sent by a core network device, for example, the core network device may send the first information to a terminal device through a downlink NAS message. Specifically, the NAS of the terminal device may receive a NAS message sent by the NAS of the core network device, where the NAS message may include the first information.
Optionally, the core network device is a core network device registered by the terminal device. As an example, the core network device may be a core network device that the terminal device last registered.
For example, the core network device may send the first information to the terminal device during a registration process of the terminal device, where the registration process may be an initial registration process or may be a registration process caused by a location update of the terminal device. For example, the core network device may carry the first information through a registration request reply message or a location update request reply message.
For another example, the core network device may send a first message to the terminal device after the terminal device is successfully registered, in which case the first message may be transmitted through any one of the downlink NAS messages.
As another embodiment, the first information may be sent by an access network device, for example, the access network device may send the first information to a terminal device through an RRC message or a broadcast message or other downlink message or downlink channel. Specifically, an Access Stratum (AS) of the terminal device may receive the first information sent by an AS of an Access network device.
Optionally, the access network device is an access network device where the terminal device resides. As an example, the access network device may be an access network device where the terminal device last resides.
For example, the access network device may send the first information to the terminal device during a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection Setup procedure, e.g., the access network device may carry the first information through an RRC connection Setup (ConnectionSetup) message, which may alternatively be referred to as an RRC Setup (Setup) message.
For another example, the access network device may send a first message to the terminal device after the RRC connection establishment is successful, in which case the first message may be transmitted via any one of the downlink RRC messages.
Further, after the AS of the terminal device receives the first information sent by the access network device, the AS of the terminal device may further send the first information to the NAS of the terminal device, and further, the NAS of the terminal device may determine the preferred core network type according to the first information, where a specific determination manner refers to the foregoing related description.
Example 2: the history information of the core network selection, i.e. the second information, stored by the terminal device determines a preferred core network type among a plurality of core network types.
In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate at least one of:
a core network type which is successfully registered or a NAS message type corresponding to the core network type;
the number of successful registrations to the core network type of successful registrations;
a core network type with failed registration or a NAS message type corresponding to the core network type;
the core network type that failed the first registration but that was successful again;
the number of registration failures to the core network type for which registration failed;
a cause of a registration failure to the core network type of registration failure;
the network type corresponding to the core network type which is successfully registered, such as an SA network or an NAS network;
The network type corresponding to the core network type of registration failure.
Optionally, in some embodiments, if the terminal device initiates a registration procedure with a core network of a first core network type, and if the registration fails, initiates a registration procedure with a core network of a second core network type, and if the registration is successful, the core network type that fails to register for the first time but that registers successfully again may be the second core network type, for example, for the example shown in fig. 3, if the terminal device fails to register with a 5GC and then registers successfully with an EPC, the second information may include information of the EPC, or if the terminal device fails to register with an EPC first and then registers successfully with a 5GC, the second information may include information of the 5 GC.
It should be noted that, here, the core network type that is successfully registered may include core network types that are successfully registered in the SA network and the NAS network, that is, core network types that are successfully registered in a scenario in which a plurality of networking modes coexist, or core network types that are successfully registered in a case in which a plurality of networks coexist (are independent between different networks), and similarly, core network types that are failed in registration may also include core network types that are failed in a scenario in which a plurality of networking modes coexist.
Specifically, after registering with the core network, the terminal device may save the registration result to obtain the second information, where the second information may include registered type information of the core network, and a registration result of the core network type, that is, whether the registration is successful or failed, and optionally, the number of times of registration success, or the number of times of registration failure, and a reason for registration failure, for example, may be that the UE cannot use the core network type.
Optionally, as an embodiment, if the second information indicates that the core network type of the successful registration is a first core network type, the terminal device determines the first core network type as the preferred core network type.
Optionally, as another embodiment, if the number of times of successful registration with the first core network type indicated by the second information is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the terminal device determines the first core network type as the preferred core network type.
Alternatively, as yet another embodiment, the terminal device may also determine a core network type that fails the first registration but that is successful in re-registration as the preferred core network type.
Further, in some embodiments, the terminal device may update the second information according to a registration result with the core network of the preferred core network type, i.e. whether the registration is successful or failed.
In the embodiment of the present application, if the preferred core network type is a packet core evolved EPC, the NAS of the terminal device may preferably initiate a registration request to the EPC using an EPC NAS message; or (b)
And if the type of the preferred core network is 5GC, the NAS of the terminal equipment preferably uses an N1 NAS message to send a registration request to the 5 GC.
In some embodiments, a terminal device initiating a registration request to the EPC using an EPC NAS message may trigger the terminal device to establish a connection with only an LTE base station, and in other embodiments, the terminal device initiating a registration request to the EPC using an EPC NAS message may trigger establishment of a dual connection between the terminal device and both an LTE base station and an NR base station.
It should be understood that the above embodiments 1 and 2 may be implemented separately or may be combined, for example, when the first information indicates that the EPC has a higher priority than 5GC, but the second information indicates that the number of registration failures of 5GC is higher, the terminal device may determine that the preferred core network type is EPC, and may further initiate a registration procedure with the EPC.
Therefore, according to the wireless communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment can register the core network according to the network equipment configuration or the history information of the core network selection, thereby being beneficial to reducing the probability of core network registration failure and improving the user experience.
