After determining the target access network, the base station may send a handover command to the terminal to instruct the terminal to switch to the target access network.
- the switch command includes at least the network name of the target access network, and optionally, the DRB information that is switched to the target access network.

Specifically, the base station may determine, according to at least one of the following conditions, that the terminal is enabled to turn on the ANDSF: the load of the base station is greater than the first preset threshold or the moving speed of the terminal is lower than the second preset threshold.

- the base station detects the location (such as latitude and longitude) indicated by the access network discovery information in the ANDSF information, or the base station detects the access network name (such as the cell ID of the LTE) indicated in the access network discovery information in the ANDSF. And complying with the above-mentioned local policy, the base station allows the terminal to enable the ANDSF when the base station learns that the currently accessed LTE side network is overloaded and/or the terminal's moving speed is lower than the second preset threshold.
- the base station may simultaneously set a scan period in the indication message, so that the terminal performs scanning according to the scan period, thereby saving power consumption of the terminal.

In this way, the base station controls the terminal to select the target access network.
- the base station may also send the self-defined idle state mobility policy to the terminal through the network discovery control message.
- the idle state mobility policy refers to a policy of which access network is accessed when the terminal is in an idle state. For example, the definition of an LTE network has a higher priority than a WLAN network.
- the terminal in the idle state when the terminal in the idle state determines that the network discovery function is not allowed to be enabled according to the network discovery control message, the terminal may access the corresponding access network according to the idle state mobility policy.
- the idle state mobility policy When the terminal in the idle state judges that the network discovery function is enabled according to the network discovery control message, the idle state mobility policy is ignored, and the corresponding access network is detected according to information such as ANDSF.

为使本发明更加清楚,下面将结合说明书附图对本发明的优选实施例进行 说明, 应当理解, 此处所描述的优选实施例仅用于说明和解释本发明, 并不用 于限定本发明。 并且在不沖突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征 可以相互组合。 本发明的核心思想在于, 通过基站指示终端开启接入网发现和选择功能
(Access Network Discovery and Selection Function, ANDSF),使终端在基站的控 制下对相应的接入网进行扫描, 并通过基站确定终端要切换的目标接入网。相 对现有技术, 本发明实现了基站对终端的控制, 提高了终端的可控性。
ANDSF是核心网引入的概念, 包括数据管理和控制功能。 在本发明实施 例中, 当终端开启 ANDSF时, 会根据从核心网获取的 ANDSF信息对网络进行 扫描获取可用的接入网信息。 ANDSF信息包括:
1 ) ***间移动性策略 ***间移动性策略是一组运营商定义的规则和偏好,它能影响***间的移 动性决策。 具体地, ***间移动性策略可包括以下至少一种: a ) ***间的优先级, 如 LTE的优先级高于 WLAN。 b ) ***内不同网络的优先级, 如 WLAN SSID-1优先于 WLAN SSID-2。 c ) ***间的移动性是否允许, 如是否允许从 LTE到 WLAN的切换, 或者在一 定条件下允许从 LTE到 WLAN的切换。 d )有效的条件, 也就是指示该***间移动性策略有效的条件, 例如有效的时 间和地点。
2)接入网发现信息 当 UE请求网络选择时, ANDSF信息能够提供一组 UE周边有效的接入网络 列表, 该列表包括各种接入网络技术。有效的接入技术信息包括接入技术类型 (如 WLAN、 WiMAX)和无线接入网络。 标识符 (如 WLAN的 SSID)。 另夕卜, 还有 其他技术的具体信息, 如一个或多个载频; 约束条件, 如一些条件标识何时提
供的接入网络信息有效。 UE应保留和使用这些 ANDSF提供的接入网络信息直 到收到下一次更新信息。
3 ) ***间路由策略
ANDSF可能提供***间路由信息, 即不同业务可在不同的***接入。 UE 可根据该策略, 将不同的业务选择不同的***接入。 如一个或多个过滤规则, 即每个标识一种业务或者 APN连接的优先***的规则。 现有的 ANDSF信息主要是运营商根据用户的签约信息和历史统计信息在 核心网定义的, 该信息中并没有精确考虑接入网信息, 并不能保证接入网信息 的真实可靠, 所以用户设备在使用 ANDSF时, 需要提前进行扫描, 以获得可 用接入网的信息。 需要说明的是, 本发明中涉及的终端是指可与多个接入网连 接的终端, 例如智能手机、 智能电子阅读设备等。 其中, 接入网可以是 3G网 络, 如 LTE网络, 也可以是非 3G网络, 如无线局域网 WLAN等。 参见图 1 , 为本发明实施例一提供的一种切换方法, 该方法具体包括:
Sll、 基站指示终端开启接入网发现和选择功能 ANDSF。 本发明中, 终端只有在接收到基站的开启接入网发现和选择功能的指示 时, 才会进行网络扫描以获取接入网信息。 该终端通过所述 ANDSF获取接入 网信息, 所述接入网信息包括候选目标接入网信息。 其中, 扫描获得的接入网 信息中包括可用于后续进行切换的接入网信息即候选目标接入网信息。 本发明中基站通过发送用于指示终端是否开启 ANDSF的指示消息来指示 终端开启 ANDSF。本发明中,基站可通过如下两种方式发送指示消息至终端: 方式一: 基站广播用以指示终端是否开启 ANDSF的***消息。 如基站可 广播一位布尔(Boolean )类型的指示, 在允许终端开启 ANDSF时, 将其值设 为 "ture" , 在不允许终端开启 ANDSF时, 将其值设为 "flase"。 方式二:基站接收终端发送的用于请求基站指示终端开启 ANDSF的请求。 基站根据上述请求发送指示消息至终端。
其中, 终端可通过无线资源控制协议(Radio Resource Control , RRC ) 发送上述请求, 对应的基站可通过 RRC消息发送允许终端开启 ANDSF的指 示。 具体的, 基站可在 RRC消息中指示一位 Boolean类型的指示, 在允许终 端开启 ANDSF时, 将其值设为 "ture" , 在不允许终端开启 ANDSF时, 将其 值设为 "flase,,。
512、 所述基站接收所述终端发送的所述候选目标接入网信息。 终端根据基站的指示开启 ANDSF, 进行网络扫描获取接入网信息, 并将 符合条件的接入网确定为候选目标接入网。 上述候选目标接入网信息至少包括候选目标接入网的网络名称。 可选的,候选目标接入网信息还可包含各候选目标接入网对应的信号质量 和 /或各候选目标接入网的优先级和 /或终端决定切换到候选目标接入网的承载 信息如承载标识( DRB ID )。
513、 所述基站根据所述候选目标接入网信息确定目标接入网, 并将所述 终端切换至所述目标接入网。 基站可根据候选目标接入网信息中的信号质量确定目标接入网,如选择信 号质量最好的为目标接入网。 基站也可根据候选目标接入网信息中的优先级确定目标接入网,如确定优 先级最高的为目标接入网。 基站还可以根据上述 DRB ID确定目标接入网, 如根据该 DRB的服务质 量(Quality of Service, QoS ) 参数判断该 DRB需要的带宽大小, 然后根据所 需的带宽大小确定具有相应带宽的网络为目标接入网。 如当所需的带宽较大 时, 可选择网络负荷较轻的网络为目标接入网。 当然基站还可以结合上述多种因素确定目标接入网,如基站确定满足预设 的信号质量的接入网中优先级最高的接入网为目标接入网。
基站确定目标接入网后, 可发送切换命令至终端, 以指示终端切换到目标 接入网。 切换命令中至少包含目标接入网的网络名称, 可选的, 还可包含切换 到该目标接入网的 DRB信息。 当然,在本发明中基站也可根据接收的候选目标接入网的信息, 决定不指 示终端切换网络。 在决定不指示终端切换接入网时, 基站可不发送任何命令, 也可发送不切换命令至终端。 上述实施例一中, 基站指示终端开启 ANDSF, 本发明中基站可通过多种 方式决定是否允许终端开启 ANDSF, 以下将对其中两种进行介绍: 方式一: 基站根据本地策略决定是否允许终端开启 ANDSF。 具体的, 基站可根据以下至少一种情况确定指示终端开启 ANDSF: 基站的负载量大于第一预设门限或终端的移动速度低于第二预设门限。 如, 当基站检测到当前接入的 LTE侧网络负载过重, 超过了第一预设门 限, 需要将部分网络负载分担到其他网络, 此时基站允许终端开启 ANDSF。
又如, 基站获知终端的移动速度低于第二预设门限, 可进行网络切换, 此 时基站可允许终端开启 ANDSF。 基站可根据以下至少一种情况确定指示终端保持 ANDSF的关闭状态: 基站确认不存在可切换的接入网或终端的移动速度高于第三预设门限。 如当基站检测到当前不存在可切换的接入网时,终端无可用的接入网进行 切换, 此时, 基站可指示终端保持 ANDSF的关闭状态。 又如基站检测到终端移动速度过快, 高于第三预设门限,会在短时间内脱 离当前网络的覆盖范围, 那么基站可指示终端保持 ANDSF的关闭状态。 方式二: 基站可结合本地策略和 ANDSF信息确定是否允许终端开启
ANDSF。 基站首先从核心网获取 ANDSF信息。
然后基站结合上述本地策略和 ANDSF信息决定是否允许终端开启
ANDSF。 如基站检测到进入了 ANDSF信息中的接入网络发现信息指示的位置(如 经纬度), 或者基站检测到进入 ANDSF中接入网发现信息中所指示的接入网 络网络名称(如 LTE的小区 ID ) , 并符合上述本地策略, 如基站获知当前接入 的 LTE侧网络负载过重和 /或终端的移动速度低于第二预设门限值时, 基站允 许终端开启 ANDSF。 在本发明可选实施例中,基站可在指示消息中同时设置扫描周期, 以便终 端根据该扫描周期进行扫描, 节省终端用电。 在本发明另一可选实施例中,基站还可在指示消息中同时设置接入网发现 成功的条件, 以便终端将符合该条件的接入网确定为候选目标接入网。通过该 方式, 进一步提高了基站对终端选择目标接入网的控制。 需要说明的是,在优选实施例中,基站还可将自己定义的空闲态移动性策 略通过网络发现控制消息下发至终端。空闲态移动性策略是指当终端处于空闲 状态时接入何种接入网的策略。 比如定义 LTE网络的优先级高于 WLAN网络。 本 发明中,当处于空闲状态的终端根据网络发现控制消息判断到不允许开启网络 发现功能时可依据空闲态移动性策略接入相应的接入网。当处于空闲状态的终 端根据网络发现控制消息判断到允许开启网络发现功能时会忽略空闲态移动 性策略, 依据 ANDSF等信息检测相应的接入网。 当终端进行网络切换时,对应的基站也进行切换。如果上述基站与目标接 入网的基站均为 3GPP网络的基站时,在切换过程中,基站还将上述指示消息、 ANDSF信息中的至少一种发送至目标接入网的基站。 以便目标接入网的基站 能够据此做下一步无线资源管理( Radio Resource Management,RRM ) 策略, 而且该方式也有利于节省空开开支。 对应上述方法,本发明实施例二提供了一种基站, 参见图 2 , 该基站包括: 指示单元 11 , 用于指示终端开启接入网发现和选择功能 ANDSF, 用于所

在本发明的可选实施例中,基站还用于发送指示消息至终端, 终端还用于 接收该指示消息并根据该消息开启 ANDSF, 进行网络扫描获取接入网信息。

其中, 上述指示消息可以基站根据本地策略生成的,也可以是基站结合本 地策略和从核心网获取的 ANDSF信息生产的。 当目标接入网的基站与上述基站均为 3GPP网络的基站时,在切换过程中, 基站还用于将指示消息、 ANDSF信息中的至少一种发送至目标接入网的基站,
以便目标接入网的基站能够据此做下一步无线资源管理( Radio Resource Management,RRM )策略, 而且该方式也有利于节省空开开支。 以下为本发明中的一种具体应用场景, 其中, 终端当前所在的接入网为 LTE。 具体过程如下: 终端向核心网发送 ANDSF信息的请求消息。 核心网在接收到该请求后将该 ANDSF信息下发至终端。 其中 ANDSF信息 中定义了 LTE网络的优先级高于 WLAN网络, 接入网发现信息中包含了接入网 LTE2、 WLAN 1和 WLAN2、 WLAN3的名称以及四个接入网的位置。 终端接着向基站发送开启网络发现功能请求消息。 常见的为, 终端根据 ANDSF信息发现达到网络发现的条件, 则向基站发送网络发现请求消息。 其 中发现达到网络发现的条件有进入 ANDSF信息中接入网发现信息所指示的接 入网位置 (如经纬度),或者进入 ANDSF信息中接入网发现信息所指示的接入网 的网络名称 (如 LTE的小区 ID)。 终端可基于 RRC消息向基站发送网络发现请求 消息。 基站通过检测, 发现当前 LTE1网络的负载过重, 而且覆盖范围内有可用 的 WLAN网络, 于是设置一位 Boolean类型的指示, 并将值设置为, ture,, 通过 RRC消息将该指示下发至终端。 另夕卜,基站同时下发了网络扫描周期为 1小时, 网络发现成功的条件为网络信号质量不低于1\ 终端获取该 RRC消息, 并通过 Boolean类型指示的值判断到基站允许其开 启网络发现功能。 于是终端每隔一小时根据 ANDSF信息中接入网发现信息中 的网络位置和网络名称, 在合适的位置打开网络发现功能, 进行网络扫描, 并 根据***间移动向策略来优先扫描优先级高的网络及 LTE网络。 终端经扫描检测到 LTE2、 WLAN1和 WLAN2三个网络, 并发现 LTE2、 WLAN1网络信号质量 Tl、 Τ2均高于 Τ, 且 Τ2大于 Tl , WLAN2网络信号质量 Τ3低于 Τ。 于是根据网络发现成功条件将 LTE2、 WLAN1确定为候选接入网。
终端根据 ANDSF信息中定义的优先级顺序将候选接入网的信息按照 LTE2、 WLAN1的顺序上报至基站。 其中上报的信息包括候选接入网的名称 ( LTE2、 WLAN1 )、 位置、 网络信号质量(Tl、 Τ2 ) 以及终端决定的要切换 到目标接入网的数据承载标识 DRB ID1。 基站根据 DRB ID1的 QoS参数判断到该 DRB需要的带宽较大, 只有
WLAN1的带宽可满足。 于是, 基站将 WLAN1确定为目标接入网, 并下发切换 指示至终端。 终端获取该指示, 然后将 DRB ID1对应的承载业务路由到 WLAN1网络。 以上为终端由 LTE切换到 WLAN网络, 在实际应用中, 终端还可以根据需 要由 WLAN切换到 LTE网络。 具体过程用上, 此处不再详述。 尽管已描述了本申请的优选实施例,但本领域内的技术人员一旦得知了基 本创造性概念, 则可对这些实施例做出另外的变更和修改。 所以, 所附权利要 求意欲解释为包括优选实施例以及落入本申请范围的所有变更和修改。
明的精神和范围。这样,倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及 其等同技术的范围之内, 则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
