Description

Network switching method, terminal equipment and storage medium

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, and more specifically relates to a network switching method, a terminal device and a storage medium.

Background technique

Due to reasons such as Internet access speed, users prefer to use a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, Wireless Fidelity) network indoors, and switch to a mobile network in outdoor scenarios where there is no WiFi hotspot. Most of the switching technologies between the WiFi network and the mobile network will first disconnect the WiFi network and then connect to the mobile network, or disconnect the mobile network and then connect to the WiFi network. During this period, the IP address of the terminal device will change, and the upper layer business needs Rebuilding a session will result in an obvious process of disconnecting the current line of business, which will have a great impact on users such as games and live video.

Currently proposed solutions for smooth handover between WiFi and mobile networks all involve the transformation of the core network of mobile operators. For example, when accessing the mobile network, the mobile network assigns IP1 to the terminal device, and then when the terminal device accesses a WiFi hotspot, the WiFi hotspot assigns IP2 to the terminal device, and the terminal device disconnects from the operator's mobile network, but retains IP1 . After the mobile network obtains the information such as IP2 of WiFi, it establishes the mapping relationship between IP1 and IP2. At this time, the data packet sent to the terminal device is sent by the mobile network through the tunnel technology. Similar technologies need to be modified to support mobile operators' core networks, routers, and terminal equipment, which not only involves network protocol compatibility issues, but also involves huge network transformation costs, making implementation difficult. Therefore, the problem of service disconnection in the process of switching between WiFi and mobile network always exists.

It should be understood that the invention can be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the/the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "consists of" and/or "comprising", when used in this specification, identify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or parts, but do not exclude one or more other Presence or addition of features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts and/or groups. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, a detailed structure will be provided in the following description to illustrate the technical solution proposed by the present invention. Alternative embodiments of the invention are described in detail below, however the invention may have other embodiments beyond these detailed descriptions.

In the following, firstly, a network switching method 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 . The network switching method 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is used for a terminal device. As shown in FIG. 1, the network switching method 100 may include the following steps:

In step S110, when connecting to the mobile network through the mobile communication port, monitor the connection status between the wireless communication port and the wireless network;

In step S120, when it is detected that the wireless communication port is connected to the wireless network, the connection between the mobile communication port and the mobile network is maintained, and the wireless communication port is set as the connection between the mobile communication port and the Internet network node;

In step S130, receiving data to be received sent to the application program of the terminal device through the wireless communication port, and forwarding the data to be received to the mobile communication port;

In step S140, the mobile communication port provides the data to be received to a corresponding application program.

The network switching method 100 of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the characteristics of separation of network access control and data packet routing and forwarding. When the wireless communication port accesses the wireless network, the connection between the mobile communication port and the operator's mobile network is maintained at the access control level. Connection, at the level of data forwarding, the mobile communication port is abstracted as a network card, and the wireless communication port is abstracted as another network card, which is used as a gateway to forward data for the mobile communication port. Since the wireless communication port is always connected to the mobile network, neither the application program nor the mobile operator can know that the network used for data forwarding has been switched There will be service disconnection, smooth network switching can be realized, and user experience is improved; moreover, the embodiment of the present invention only needs to modify the software of the terminal equipment, and does not need to modify the core network of the mobile operator, so the cost is low and the implementability is strong.

Among them, mobile networks are also called cellular networks, mainly including 3G networks, 4G networks, 5G networks, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks, etc. Referring to FIG. 2 , taking a 4G network as an example, the 4G core network mainly consists of a Mobility management entity (MME), a Service gateway (S-GW), and a Packet data gateway (P-GW). Wherein, the S-GW and the P-GW can be set up together or separately. The 4G core network architecture adheres to the concept of separation of control and bearer, and separates the mobility management, signaling control functions and data forwarding functions of SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node, Serving GPRS Support Node) in the packet domain. The MME is responsible for functions such as mobility management and signaling processing, and the S-GW is responsible for functions such as data flow processing and forwarding. The signaling control system is called the control plane, and the data forwarding system is called the user plane.

When connecting to the 4G network, the terminal device will send control signaling and user data to the base station (4G base station is eNB). In the 4G scenario, the control plane and the user plane start offloading from the eNB side, where the eNB in the control plane is connected to the MME (Mobility Management Entity), and the eNB in the user plane is connected to the S-GW (Serving Gateway). It can be seen that the mobile network has the characteristics of separation of network access control and data packet routing and forwarding. Based on the above characteristics, the embodiment of the present invention integrates the mobile network architecture shown in FIG. 2 with the wireless network architecture shown in FIG. 3 , Replace the user plane of the mobile network with a wireless network, so as to realize smooth handover between the mobile network and the wireless network.

Referring to Fig. 4, a network architecture of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the wireless communication port is connected to the wireless hotspot, the connection between the mobile communication port and the mobile network is maintained, that is, the control plane of the mobile network remains unchanged, and the mobile communication port continues to send control signaling to the base station of the mobile network, so that The base station forwards the control signaling to the Mobility Management Entity (MME), so that the operator considers that the terminal device is always connected to the mobile network and cannot perceive the network handover process. At the same time, the user plane has been replaced by a wireless network, and the wireless communication port is a network node between the mobile communication port and the Internet, which is equivalent to a router newly inserted into the network providing data routing services for the mobile communication port, receiving and sending data from the wireless hotspot. The data to be received to the mobile communication port is forwarded to the mobile communication port, and then provided to the corresponding application program by the mobile communication port. The application program continues to obtain data from the mobile communication port, so it cannot perceive the network switching process.

For a terminal device that has accessed the operator's mobile network, the IP address allocated by the operator is recorded as IP_M. When it is detected that the wireless communication port establishes a connection with the wireless hotspot, the gateway corresponding to the wireless communication port IP_M is set as the wireless communication port from the gateway of the mobile network, and then the wireless communication port updates the routing table to inform the network of the waiting list sent to the wireless communication port IP_M. The received data is sent to the wireless communication port, and the wireless communication port forwards the data to be received to the wireless communication port IP_M, and then the wireless communication port IP_M sends it to the corresponding application program.

In addition to receiving data for the mobile communication port, the wireless communication port is also used for sending data for the mobile communication port. Specifically, the mobile communication port acquires the data to be sent generated by the application program, and sends the data to be sent to the wireless communication port, and the wireless communication port sends the data to the wireless hotspot, thereby realizing normal data transmission. It is also possible to avoid transmission interruption.

Further, after the wireless communication port is connected to the wireless hotspot, continue to monitor the connection status between the wireless communication port and the wireless hotspot. When it is detected that the wireless communication port is disconnected from the wireless hotspot, it will directly send and receive data through the mobile communication port again, that is, receive the data to be received sent to the mobile communication port through the connection between the mobile communication port and the mobile network, and send the data generated by the application program. data to be sent. Since the wireless communication port is not disconnected from the mobile network when connecting to the wireless hotspot, the IP address assigned by the mobile network is also reserved, so there is no need to re-establish the connection when receiving data through the mobile network again, making it switch from the wireless network to the mobile network The process can also achieve smooth switching.

As mentioned above, when a terminal device moves from an area covered only by a mobile network to an area covered by a wireless hotspot, the gateway of the mobile communication port can be modified to a wireless communication port, thereby increasing the wireless communication between the wireless communication port and the Internet. Ports constitute network nodes. Conversely, when moving from an area covered by a wireless hotspot to an area covered only by a mobile network, you only need to re-modify the gateway corresponding to the mobile communication port from the wireless communication port to the gateway of the mobile network, and you can reconnect with the mobile network through the mobile communication port. The upper-layer business will not be interrupted, and the user will not feel the switching process.

In some embodiments, after the wireless communication port is connected to the wireless network, the connection status between the mobile communication port and the mobile network can also be monitored. If the mobile communication port is disconnected from the mobile network, the wireless communication port will no longer serve as a mobile communication port The gateway of the port is used to send and receive data normally, that is, the wireless communication port receives the data to be received sent to the terminal device, and directly provides it to the corresponding application program, and directly obtains the data to be sent generated by the application program, and sends it to the wireless hotspot .

In previous communication solutions, when the wireless communication port is connected to the wireless network, the connection event will be reported to the application program. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the wireless communication port is successfully connected to the wireless hotspot, the connection success event is not reported to the application program, and the application program does not need to perceive that the wireless communication port is successfully connected to the wireless network. Unless the mobile network is disconnected, the application always considers the currently used network to be the mobile network, and the connection of the wireless network cannot affect the application.

Similarly, when the wireless communication port is disconnected from the wireless hotspot, the disconnection event will not be reported to the application program. The application program does not need to sense the disconnection of the wireless network and continues to use the mobile network to send and receive data. There is no effect on the application.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, FIG. 5 shows a data transmission path of a current terminal device, and FIG. 6 shows a data transmission path of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the wireless communication module and the mobile communication module are hardware structures, and the wireless communication port and the mobile communication port are software structures. In the current terminal equipment, when connected to the mobile network, the mobile communication module provides the data to be received to the mobile communication port, and the mobile communication port provides the data to be received to the corresponding application program; when connected to the wireless network, the wireless communication module will The data to be received is provided to the wireless communication port, and the wireless communication port provides the data to be received to a corresponding application program. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the wireless network is connected, the wireless communication module provides the data to be received to the wireless communication port, the wireless communication port forwards the data to be received to the mobile communication port, and the mobile communication port provides the data to be received to the corresponding It can be seen that the network switching method 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention does not need to improve the hardware structure, and the smooth switching between the mobile network and the data network can be realized by configuring the software of the terminal device.

In addition, according to the network switching method 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, after switching to the wireless network, the user data is transmitted through the wireless network. For the mobile network, the user is always connected but not using the data service line, so there will be no Data traffic is generated, which saves traffic billing compared with the way of establishing a tunnel between the core network and WiFi.

In summary, the network switching method 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention uses the wireless communication port as a network node between the mobile communication port and the Internet, and performs data forwarding for the mobile communication port, so that it can be realized by configuring the software of the terminal device The smooth switching between the mobile network and the wireless network has low cost and strong implementability.
