步骤 401 : 当基站与 UE进行信令交互时, 将获取 AP的信号质量测量结果 和 AP的当前负载信息作为检测指示, 通过无线资源控制协议 ( RRC )信令向 UE下发所述检测指示。
这里, 所述基站与 UE进行交互可以是承载管理过程或移动管理过程等。 所述向 UE下发所述检测指示包括:获取 AP的信号质量测量结果和 AP的 当前负载信息, 指示 UE上报全部 AP的测量结果, 并且指示 UE获取 AP信号 检测结果时使用 AP的接入特性值描述。 本例中使用的 RRC信令为 RRC连接 重配置消息, 并在其中添加检测指示信元后传递给 UE。

进一步的, 为减少 UE因不必要的检测带来的电量消耗, 基站还可以为 UE 配置定时器或依据当前所述 UE的位置信息对 UE检测 AP的信号情况进行控 制。比如,基站为 UE配置的定时器为 40ms,即 UE检测 AP的时长限制在 40ms 内。
假设,需要检测的 AP的数量为 2, UE在 40ms之内完成了两个 AP的检测, 并按照网络的要求生成检测结果;所述检测结果为 API对应的接入特性值为 "可 接入", 当前的负载为轻负载; AP2对应的接入特性值为 "不可接入", 当前的 负载为轻负载。
步骤 403: UE将各个 AP的服务质量检测结果使用 RRC信令上报至基站。
UE将检测结果使用 RRC信令发送给 3GPP接入网络, 本例中 UE在于接 入网络进行交互的过程中使用上行 RRC信令将检测结果发送给接入网络,可以 使用 UE信息响应 ( Information Response )上报检测结果。
步骤 404: 所述基站利用 UE上报的 AP的服务质量检测结果, 控制网络网 络资源分配。

这里, 所述基站与 UE进行交互可以是承载管理过程或移动管理过程等并 指示 UE执行 AP信息检测, 其中仅包括 AP的信号质量测量结果, 进一步的指 出 AP信号检测结果使用 AP的接入特性值描述;指示此 UE执行检测并将检测 后的结果上报并在其中添加检测指示信元后传递给 UE,同时基站还需要 UE上 报是否从接入网发现和选择功能单元(ANDSF )获得相应信息
步骤 502: UE根据网络侧设备发来的检测指示, 对 AP的服务质量进行检 测。
进一步的, 为减少 UE因不必要的检测带来的电量消耗, 基站还可以为 UE 配置定时器或依据当前所述 UE的位置信息对 UE检测所述 AP链表中的各个 AP的信号情况进行控制。 比如, 基站为 UE配置的定时器为 40ms, 即 UE检 测各个 AP的时长限制在 40ms内。
假设,需要检测的 AP的数量为 2, UE在 40ms之内完成了两个 AP的检测, 并按照网络的要求生成检测结果;所述检测结果为 API对应的接入特性值为 "可 接入", AP2对应的接入特性值为 "不可接入"。
本例中 UE从 ANDSF获得了配置信息, 因此需要将这一信息上报给基站 步骤 503: UE将 AP的服务质量检测结果和从 ANDSF获得的配置信息使 用 RRC信令发送给网络侧设备。
本例中 UE在于接入网络进行交互的过程中使用上行 RRC信令将检测结果 发送给接入网络, 可以使用 UE Information Response消息将检测的结果上报, 并告知 UE在之前的过程中从 ANDSF获得的配置信息。
步骤 504: 所述网络侧设备利用 UE上报的 AP的服务质量检测结果, 控制 网络资源分配。

本例中, 所述网络侧设备可以为基站, 即当基站与 UE进行交互可以是承 载管理过程或移动管理过程等指示 UE执行 AP信息检测,其中包括 AP的信号 质量测量结果和是否从 ANDSF获得信息作为检测指示, 进一步的指出检测结 果使用 AP的接入特性值描述;
所述通过 MAC CE配置给 UE可以为根据 MAC CE对应的逻辑信道标识 ( LCID, Logical Channel Identity )进行配置, 比如表 1所示的下行链路共享信 道 LCID,
序号 LCID值
00000 公共控制信道
00001-01010 逻辑信道 ID
01011-11010 保留序号
11011 激活 /去激活
11100 UE竟争解决标识 11101 定时提前命令
11110 DRX命令

即在保留序号中划出 1个序号,比如选出序号 01100定义为检测指示信息。 本例中基站指示 UE只上报满足接入条件的 AP
步骤 602: UE根据网络侧设备发来的检测指示, 对 AP的服务质量进行检 测。
为减少 UE因不必要的检测带来的电量消耗, 网络设备还可以为 UE配置 定时器或依据当前 UE的位置信息对 UE检测 AP信息进行控制。 本例中,基站 为 UE配置的定时器为 60ms, 即 UE检测各个 AP的时长限制在 60ms内。
本例中需要检测的 AP的数量为 3 , UE在 60ms之内完成了三个 AP的检测, 并按照网络的要求生成检测结果。 其中 API对应的接入特性值为 "可接入"、 AP2对应的接入特性值为 "不可接入", AP3对应的接入特性值为 "不可接入", 此时 UE只上报 API的测量结果。
步骤 603: UE将 AP的服务质量检测结果和从 ANDSF获得的配置信息使 用 MAC CE上报至网络侧设备。
UE将检测的结果使用 MAC CE信令发送给 3GPP接入网络, 本例中 UE 在于接入网络进行交互的过程中使用上行 MAC CE信令将检测结果发送给接入 网络。
所述使用 MAC CE信令发送给网络侧设备比如基站,可以为根据表 2中所 示的上行链路共享信道 LCID表中的保留序号中携带, 比如在保留序号中划出 序号 01100用于定义 AP的服务质量检测结果, 01101用于定义是否从 ANDSF 获得信息。
序号 LCID值
00000 公共控制信道 00001-01010 逻辑信道 ID

3GPP接入网络根据 UE上报的 AP检测信息, 为接下来 UE的分流或 AP 接入进行控制。 本例中 UE的移动速度较快超过了网络设置的阈值, 此时网络 侧需要让 UE离开已经驻留的 WLAN AP或禁止 UE接入 WLAN AP
实施例四、 UE利用 MAC CE信令向接入网络发送不包含负载信息的服务 质量检测结果, 当网络侧设备为基站时, 如图 7所示, 具体步骤为:
步骤 701 : 基站将获取 AP的信号质量测量结果和 AP的当前负载信息作为 检测指示, 通过***消息向 UE下发所述检测指示。
本例中, 接入网络通过***消息将检测指示配置给 UE, 并指示 UE执行 AP信息检测, 其中包括 AP的信号质量测量结果, 进一步的指出 AP信号检测 结果使用 AP的测量值描述。

UE将检测的 AP2的结果使用 MAC CE信令发送给 3GPP接入网络,本例 中 UE在于接入网络进行交互的过程中使用上行 MAC CE信令将检测结果发送 给接入网络。
