The present application claims a priority of the Chinese patent application No. 201611110499.7 filed on Dec. 6, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication access technology, in particular to an access processing method, a base station and a mobile communication terminal.
Mobile communication has profoundly changed our daily lives, and people have never stopped seeking for high-performance mobile communication. A 5th-Generation (5G) mobile communication system has emerged, so as to meet the requirements on an explosive growth of mobile data traffic, the connection among a huge number of devices as well as the continuous appearance of new services and application scenarios.
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has defined three typical application scenarios for the 5G mobile communication system, and formulated eight key abilities. How to meet the requirements on these scenarios and the key abilities has become a critical issue to the communication industry. Considering such factors as the requirements, a technical development trend and smooth evolution, there shall concurrently exist two routes for the 5G mobile communication system, i.e., new air interface and evolved air interface on the basis of a 4th-Generation (4G) mobile communication system. Before the commercial use of the 5G mobile communication system, the 4G mobile communication system will evolve continuously so as to meet the increasing requirement on system capacity. Hence, the 4G mobile communication system and the 5G mobile communication system will coexist and interoperate within a long time period.
Considering the evolution of the 4G mobile communication system to the 5G mobile communication system in the related art, as shown in
However, in terms of the evolution, a future mobile communication terminal needs to support the access to the EPC and the access to the 5G new core network simultaneously, and the LTE eNB and an evolved LTE (eLTE) eNB need to coexist too.

According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, upon the receipt of an access request carrying a target NAS message from a mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to a first network and a second network simultaneously, a base station may transmit the target NAS message to a target core network to which the base station is connected, and the target core network may determine whether the mobile communication terminal is allowed to be connected to the target core network in accordance with the target NAS message. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to various core networks to access to the core network through different base stations, thereby to provide services to a user.
The present disclosure provides in some embodiments an access processing method for use in a base station which, as shown in
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, upon the receipt of the access request carrying the target NAS message (e.g., the first NAS message corresponding to the first network, the second NAS message corresponding to the second network, or both) from the mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to the first network and the second network simultaneously, the base station may transmit the target NAS message to the target core network to which the base station is connected, and the target core network may determine whether the mobile communication terminal is allowed to be connected to the target core network in accordance with the target NAS message. On the basis of the above procedure, the mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to various core networks may access to the core network through different base stations, and thereby the code network may determine whether the mobile communication terminal is allowed to access to the core network.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target NAS message may include one of the first NAS message and the second NAS message, or both. The NAS message, which belongs to an NAS, is unknown to a base station which belongs to an access stratum. Hence, a network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station may probably be different from a network corresponding to the target NAS message. In this case, the target core network may reject the access of the mobile communication terminal thereto. In order to enable the mobile communication terminal to access to an appropriate core network, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, an access rejection message may be fed back to the mobile communication terminal, so as to notify the mobile communication terminal to re-initiate an access procedure in accordance with a new NAS message.
As shown in
According to the access processing method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message (i.e., there is NAS mismatching), the base station may forward the access rejection message from the target core network to the mobile communication terminal, so that the mobile communication terminal may select the new NAS message to re-initiate the access procedure. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to the target core network.
Detailed description will be illustratively given as follows.
When the second NAS message corresponding to the second network is carried in the access request from the mobile communication terminal and the target core network selected by the base station corresponds to the first core network corresponding to the first network (because the base station is merely capable of being connected to the first core network corresponding to the first network, or the base station, which is capable of being connected to the first core network and the second core network simultaneously, selects the first core network in accordance with a selection policy), i.e., when the first network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station is different from the second network corresponding to the target NAS message, the first core network may reject the access of the mobile communication terminal thereto.
Upon the receipt of the access rejection message, the mobile communication terminal may re-transmit the access request carrying the first NAS message corresponding to the first network. At this time, the first network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station may be the same as the first network corresponding to the target NAS message, so it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to the first core network, thereby to provide services to the user.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message, the mobile communication terminal may re-initiate the access procedure in accordance with the new NAS message. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to an appropriate core network, thereby to provide services to the user.
It is found from the above-mentioned procedures that, multiple access procedures may occur and thereby an access speed may be reduced. One circumstance for an access failure lies in that the base station is merely capable of being connected to one core network and the network corresponding to the NAS message from the mobile communication terminal is different from the network corresponding to the only core network to which the base station is capable of being connected.
Hence, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to prevent the occurrence of access failure due to the above reason, the base station may notify the mobile communication terminal of network information about a network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so that the mobile communication terminal is capable of selecting the NAS message corresponding to the network during the initiation of the access procedure.
As shown in
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may notify in advance the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so as to enable the mobile communication terminal to select the NAS message corresponding to the network. As a result, it is able to prevent the re-access procedure caused when the network corresponding to the only core network to which the base station is capable of being connected is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message, thereby to accelerate the access.
When the base station is merely capable of being connected to the first core network and the mobile communication terminal has been notified of this fact, the mobile communication terminal may merely initiate the access procedure in accordance with the NAS message corresponding to the first network rather than the NAS message corresponding to the second network, and vice versa.
It is found from the above-mentioned procedures that, when the target NAS message and the target core network are selected randomly, a re-access procedure may occur, especially in another circumstance where the base station is capable of being connected to the first core network and the second core network simultaneously but the network corresponding to the core network selected by the base station in accordance with a selection policy is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message.
In order to solve the above problem, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a network identify of a the network corresponding to the target NAS message may be carried in the access request, so as to enable the base station to select a matched core network (i.e., enable the network corresponding to the core network to be the same as the network corresponding to the NAS message), thereby to prevent the occurrence of access failure.
As shown in
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may notify in advance the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so as to enable the mobile communication terminal to select the NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected. As a result, it is able to prevent the re-access procedure caused when the network corresponding to the only core network to which the base station is capable of being connected is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message, thereby to accelerate the access. In addition, the network identity of the network corresponding to the target NAS message is carried in the access request, so the target core network determined by the base station may be the same as the network corresponding to the target NAS message. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to the core network through a single access procedure, thereby to accelerate the access.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected may be transmitted through a system information block (SIB) or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
Corresponding to the method for use in the base station, the present disclosure further provides in some embodiments an access processing method for use in the mobile communication terminal.
As shown in
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, upon the receipt of the access request carrying the target NAS message (e.g., the first NAS message corresponding to the first network, the second NAS message corresponding to the second network, or both) from the mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to the first network and the second network simultaneously, the base station may transmit the target NAS message to the target core network to which the base station is connected, and the target core network may determine whether the mobile communication terminal is allowed to be connected to the target core network in accordance with the target NAS message. On the basis of the above procedure, the mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to various core networks may access to the core network through different base stations, and thereby the code network may determine whether the mobile communication terminal is allowed to access to the core network.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target NAS message may include one of the first NAS message and the second NAS message, or both. The NAS message, which belongs to an NAS, is unknown to a base station which belongs to an access stratum. Hence, a network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station may probably be different from a network corresponding to the target NAS message. In this case, the target core network may reject the access of the mobile communication terminal thereto. In order to enable the mobile communication terminal to access to an appropriate core network, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobile communication terminal may re-initiate an access procedure in accordance with a new NAS message upon the receipt of an access rejection message.
As shown in
According to the access processing method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the network corresponding to the target core network determined by the base station is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message (i.e., there is NAS mismatching), the base station may forward the access rejection message from the target core network to the mobile communication terminal, so that the mobile communication terminal may re-initiate the access procedure. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to the target core network.
Identically, in order to solve the problems in the re-access procedure, the following improvements will be provided with respect to the two circumstances where the access failure occurs.
As shown in
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may notify in advance the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so as to enable the mobile communication terminal to select the NAS message corresponding to the network. As a result, it is able to prevent the re-access procedure caused when the network corresponding to the only core network to which the base station is capable of being connected is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message, thereby to accelerate the access.
The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments an access processing method which, as shown in
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may notify in advance the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so as to enable the mobile communication terminal to select the NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected. As a result, it is able to prevent the re-access procedure caused when the network corresponding to the only core network to which the base station is capable of being connected is different from the network corresponding to the target NAS message, thereby to accelerate the access. In addition, the network identity of the network corresponding to the target NAS message is carried in the access request, so the target core network determined by the base station may be the same as the network corresponding to the target NAS message. As a result, it is able for the mobile communication terminal to access to the core network through a single access procedure, thereby to accelerate the access.
In the step of receiving the network information from the base station, the network information may be received through an SIB or RRC signaling.
In order to prevent the re-access procedure, the present disclosure further provides in some embodiments an access processing method. A target NAS message includes a first NAS message corresponding to a first network and a second NAS message corresponding to a second network. As shown in
Detailed description will be given as follows.
When there are two target NAS messages, a processing procedure will be described as follows. The mobile communication terminal may transmit the access request carrying both the first NAS message and the second NAS message. Upon the receipt of the access request, the base station may randomly select the target core network. The target core network may process one of the first NAS message and the second NAS message in accordance with the network corresponding to the target core network, and return the response message to the mobile communication terminal. The mobile communication terminal may then determine the target core network to be accessed in accordance with the format of the response message.
For the LTE eNB, it may merely forward the NAS message to the EPC. Upon the receipt of the access request, the EPC may perform security authentication on the mobile communication terminal in accordance with the first NAS message. Upon the receipt of the NAS message, when the mobile communication terminal determines that the NAS message is in an EPC format, the mobile communication terminal may access to the EPC through the LTE eNB, and the subsequent interaction may be performed in accordance with the EPC NAS message.
For the eLTE eNB, it may forward the NAS message from the mobile communication terminal to the EPC or the 5G new core network. Upon the receipt of the access request, the EPC or the 5G new core network may perform the security authentication on the mobile communication terminal in accordance with the corresponding NAS message. Upon the receipt of the NAS message, when the mobile communication terminal determines that the NAS message is in the EPC format, the mobile communication terminal may access to the EPC through the eLTE eNB, and the subsequent interaction may be performed in accordance with the EPC NAS message. When the NAS message is in a 5G Core Network (CN) format, the mobile communication terminal may access to the 5G CN, and the subsequent interaction may be performed in accordance with the 5G CN NAS message.
The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a base station which, as shown in
Of course, in order to ensure the access procedure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may further include: a second reception module configured to receive an access rejection message from the target core network when a network corresponding to the target NAS message is different from a network corresponding to the target core network; and a second transmission module configured to transmit the access rejection message to the mobile communication terminal and notify the mobile communication terminal to re-initiate an access procedure in accordance with a new NAS message.
In order to prevent the access failure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station may further include a third transmission module configured to transmit network information indicating a network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, so as to enable the mobile communication terminal to select an NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected from the first NAS message and the second NAS message as the target NAS message in accordance with the network information.
In order to further prevent the re-access procedure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a network identity of a network corresponding to the target NAS message may be further carried in the access request. The first selection module is further configured to determine a core network corresponding to the network indicated by the network identity as the target core network. The third transmission module is further configured to transmit the network information through an SIB or RRC signaling.
The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a mobile communication terminal capable of being connected to a first network and a second network, which, as shown in
Of course, in order to ensure an access procedure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile communication terminal may further include a re-access module configured to, when the response message is an access rejection message indicating that a network corresponding to the target NAS message is different from a network corresponding to the target core network, select an NAS message different from the target NAS message from the first NAS message and the second NAS message as a new target NAS message, and re-initiate an access procedure.
In order to prevent the access failure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile communication terminal may further include a fourth reception module configured to receive network information from the base station, and the network information indicates a network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected. The second selection module is further configured to select an NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected from the first NAS message and the second NAS message as the target NAS message in accordance with the network information.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to further prevent the re-access procedure, a network identity of a network corresponding to the target NAS message may be further carried in the access request, so as to enable the base station to determine a core network corresponding to the network indicated by the network identity as the target core network.
The fourth reception module is further configured to receive the network information through an SIB or RRC signaling.
In order to prevent the re-access procedure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target NAS message may include the first NAS message corresponding to the first network and the second NAS message corresponding to the second network. The mobile communication terminal may further include a target core network determination module configured to determine the target core network in accordance with a network corresponding to the response message.
Detailed description will be given as follows when the first network is a 4G mobile communication network and the second network is a 5G mobile communication network.
When there is merely one target NAS message, the following circumstances may be involved.
1. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network, the base station is an LTE eNB in a 4G mobile communication system, and the target core network is an EPC corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network.
2. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network, the base station is an eLTE eNB in a 5G mobile communication system, and the target core network is the EPC corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network.
3. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network, the base station is the eLTE eNB in a 5G mobile communication system, and the target core network is a 5G CN corresponding to the 5G mobile communication network.
4. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 5G mobile communication network, the base station is the LTE eNB in the 4G mobile communication system, and the target core network is the EPC corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network.
5. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 5G mobile communication network, the base station is the eLTE eNB in a 5G mobile communication system, and the target core network is the EPC corresponding to the 4G mobile communication network.
6. The target NAS message is an NAS message corresponding to the 5G mobile communication network, the base station is the eLTE eNB in a 5G mobile communication system, and the target core network is the 5G CN corresponding to the 5G mobile communication network.
The above-mentioned six circumstances are all possible combinations when the target NAS message and the target core network are selected randomly.
In the first, second and sixth circumstances, the network corresponding to the target NAS message is the same as the network corresponding to the target core network, so the mobile communication terminal may access to the target core network successfully.
In the third, fourth and fifth circumstances, the network corresponding to the target NAS message is different from the network corresponding to the target core network, so the mobile communication terminal may not access to the target core network successfully for the first time. At this time, the mobile communication terminal needs to select a new target NAS message such that a network corresponding to the new target NAS message is the same as the network corresponding to the target core network, so as to access to the target core network successfully.
When the base station notifies the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, the mobile communication terminal may select the NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected during the initiation of the access procedure. At this time, the above six circumstances may be reduced to five circumstances, i.e., the fourth circumstance, in which it is necessary to re-initiate the access procedure, may not exist.
The network information may be transmitted in conjunction with an access procedure in
When the base station notifies the mobile communication terminal of the network information about the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected, the mobile communication terminal may select the NAS message for the network corresponding to the core network to which the base station is capable of being connected during the initiation of the access procedure. At this time, when the network identity of the network corresponding to the target NAS message is further carried in the access request the above six circumstances may be reduced to three circumstances, i.e., the third, fourth and fifth circumstance, in which it is necessary to re-initiate the access procedure, may not exist.
In the above circumstances, the mobile communication terminal may directly carry the NAS message, as well as an identifier of the NAS message, in an attachment request message carried in an RRC connection setup completion message, as shown in
When there are two target NAS messages, the processing procedure will be described as follows. The mobile communication terminal may transmit the access request carrying both the first NAS message and the second NAS message. Upon the receipt of the access request, the base station may randomly select the target core network. The target core network may process one of the first NAS message and the second NAS message in accordance with the network corresponding to the target core network, and return the NAS message in a corresponding format to the mobile communication terminal. The mobile communication terminal may determine the target core network to be accessed in accordance with the format of the NAS message.
For the LTE eNB, it may merely forward the NAS message to the EPC. Upon the receipt of the access request, the EPC may perform security authentication on the mobile communication terminal in accordance with the first NAS message.

For the eLTE eNB, it may forward the NAS message from the mobile communication terminal to the EPC or the 5G new core network. Upon the receipt of the access request, the EPC or the 5G new core network may perform the security authentication on the mobile communication terminal in accordance with the corresponding NAS message. Upon the receipt of the NAS message, when the mobile communication terminal determines that the NAS message is in the EPC format, the mobile communication terminal may access to the EPC through the eLTE eNB, and the subsequent interaction may be performed in accordance with the EPC NAS message. When the NAS message is in the 5G CN format, the mobile communication terminal may access to the 5G CN, and the subsequent interaction may be performed in accordance with the 5G CN NAS message.
