Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. The components of embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method for quickly deactivating a mobile network is applied to a mobile terminal, and an SIM card in the mobile terminal may Access a network of at least two systems, such as a 4G mobile network in which the SIM card can support LTE (Long term evolution), a 5G mobile network in NR (new radio, new air interface technology) system, and a 3G mobile network in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system. Certainly, with the rapid development of mobile communication technology, the SIM card of the mobile terminal may also be accessed to a mobile network of more systems, such as a 6G mobile network, a 7G mobile network, and the like, which is not limited herein.
In order to better embody the technical solution of the present application, the prior art is simply described by taking a 5G mobile network as an example, and certainly, in the future mobile communication technology, the mobile network described herein may also be a 6G mobile network, a 7G mobile network, and the like, which is not described herein again.
In order to save expenses and improve the utilization rate of the existing 4G base station, an operator under the current internet usually adopts the NSA networking mode of the Option3 and the Option3X to deploy the network, wherein the Option3 and the Option3X are the NSA networking mode.
As shown in fig. 1, the path of the mobile terminal accessing the NSA network includes: in the Option3 and Option3X networking modes, the mobile terminal first accesses the 4G mobile network and resides in the 4G cell, and when the mobile terminal needs to receive and transmit data, the mobile terminal accesses the 4G mobile network and enters an RRC (Radio Resource Control protocol) connection state, and in some cases, the 4G cell adds a 5G cell link to the mobile terminal. Under the current network, whether a mobile terminal is accessed to a 5G mobile network is completely controlled by a network terminal, the network terminal provides 5G cell measurement configuration for the mobile terminal through a 4G mobile network, the mobile terminal measures 5G cell signals through the 5G cell measurement configuration, after the mobile terminal enters an area covered by the 5G mobile network, the mobile terminal reports the measured 5G signals to the 4G cell, the 4G cell reports the measured 5G signals to the network terminal through the 4G mobile network, and the network terminal determines whether to activate 5G cell link according to the signal intensity of the reported 5G signals.
When the mobile terminal receives a configuration signaling of adding a 5G cell issued by a network end through a 4G baseband, the 5G baseband is switched to an activated state, and data is received and transmitted through a 5G mobile network; when the mobile terminal receives a 5G cell configuration release signaling sent by a network end through a 4G baseband, the 5G cell measurement result report is closed, the current 5G cell link is released, the 5G mobile network is deactivated, and data is received and transmitted through the 4G mobile network.
However, in a predetermined working mode in which some 4G mobile networks can meet service requirements and the 5G signal strength is good, after monitoring the 5G signal, the mobile terminal often cannot trigger a measurement event related to a 5G deactivation operation to be reported to the network due to the large 5G signal strength, so that the network cannot issue a 5G cell configuration release signaling in a delayed manner, and further cannot execute the 5G network deactivation operation, thereby greatly increasing the power consumption of the mobile terminal, reducing the duration of the mobile phone, and greatly reducing the user experience.
Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention provides an interface of a method for quickly deactivating a mobile network, which generates a deactivation enabling signal in a first mobile network when it is monitored that a mobile terminal is in a predetermined working mode, automatically generates a weak signal signaling in the first mobile network when the mobile terminal is currently accessed to the first mobile network, and reports the weak signal signaling to a network terminal, so that the network terminal releases a signaling configured in the first mobile network according to the weak signal in time, and the mobile terminal releases a link for transmitting information in the first mobile network according to the signaling configured in the first mobile network, so that the first mobile network is quickly switched from an active state to an inactive state, thereby reducing power consumption of the mobile terminal, prolonging duration of the mobile terminal, and improving user experience.
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings.
Example 1
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for quickly deactivating a mobile network according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The method for quickly deactivating the mobile network comprises the following steps:
in step S110, when it is monitored that the mobile terminal is in the predetermined operating mode, a deactivation enabling signal for the first mobile network is generated.
The mobile terminal can access mobile networks corresponding to at least two systems, wherein the first system corresponds to a first mobile network, and the second system corresponds to a second mobile network. At the same time, the mobile terminal can only communicate through the mobile network corresponding to one of the systems.
In this embodiment, the first standard is an NR standard, and the first mobile network is a 5G mobile network; the second standard is an LTE standard, and the second mobile network is a 4G mobile network. In some other embodiments, the first mobile network may be a 6G mobile network and the second mobile network may be a 5G mobile network. And are not limited herein.
In this embodiment, for convenience of description, only the 4G mobile network and the 5G mobile network are used to describe the scheme, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the scheme may also be described through the 3G mobile network and the 4G mobile network, the 5G mobile network and the 6G mobile network, and details are not described herein again.
Because the power consumption required by the mobile terminal to communicate in the 5G mobile network is far greater than the power consumption required by the mobile terminal to communicate in the 4G mobile network, when an AP (Application Processor) of the mobile terminal monitors that the mobile terminal is currently in a predetermined working mode, the predetermined working mode may be a low-speed working mode, and in the low-speed working mode, a deactivation enable signal of the 5G mobile network is generated to trigger a subsequent 5G mobile network deactivation operation.
In step S120, it is determined whether the mobile terminal is currently accessed to the first mobile network.
Specifically, after generating a first mobile network deactivation enabling signal, determining whether the mobile terminal is currently accessed to a first mobile network, and if the mobile terminal is currently accessed to the first mobile network, proceeding to step S130; and if the mobile terminal is not accessed to the first mobile network currently, the subsequent deactivation operation is not executed.
It is to be noted that step S120 may be performed before step S110, and may also be performed before "generating a deactivation enabling signal for the first mobile network", which is not limited herein.
In step S130, weak signal signaling in the first mobile network is generated according to the deactivation enabling signal.
In this embodiment, in order to accelerate the deactivation speed of the mobile terminal currently accessing the first mobile network, after monitoring the deactivation enabling signal of the first mobile network, the mobile terminal automatically generates a weak signal signaling in the first mobile network, where the weak signal signaling at least includes the signal strength of the weak signal, and the signal strength of the weak signal is smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
For example, the mobile terminal currently communicates through a 5G mobile network, however, the current mobile terminal can completely meet network requirements required by various applications (such as WeChat, QQ, browser, and the like) operated by the mobile terminal through a 4G mobile network, at this time, the 5G mobile network currently accessed by the mobile terminal is deactivated, in the process of deactivation, in order to accelerate a process of a 5G signal measured by the mobile terminal, a weak signal instruction under the 5G mobile network can be actively generated, and the signal strength of the generated weak signal is smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
In step S140, the weak signal signaling is reported to the network, so that the network generates a release network configuration signaling for the first mobile network according to the weak signal signaling.
Specifically, the mobile terminal monitors a 5G signal in a 5G mobile network, and reports the 5G signal to the network after receiving a weak signal signaling of the 5G mobile network.
And when receiving the weak signal signaling, the network terminal generates a network configuration releasing signaling aiming at the first mobile network and sends the network configuration releasing signaling to the mobile terminal.
In step S150, the first mobile network is switched to an inactive state according to the release network configuration signaling received from the network end, so that the mobile terminal accesses the second mobile network.
Specifically, the mobile terminal stops monitoring the 5G signal in the 5G mobile network according to the received release network configuration signaling, and releases the 5G mobile network link on the wireless side.
Fig. 3 shows a simplified signaling diagram of the deactivation process of the 5G mobile network. In the figure, the deactivation process of the 5G mobile network that is networked by using the NSA networking mode is described only by simple steps, and it is noted that the deactivation process of the 5G mobile network further includes more detailed and complicated steps, and for convenience of describing the embodiment, the more detailed and complicated steps are not described in detail here.
The process of deactivating the 5G mobile network comprises the following steps:
A1. a BP (Baseband Processor ) of a 4G Baseband of the mobile terminal monitors a deactivation enabling signal 5G _ Inactive _ on which a 5G mobile network enters an Inactive state from an active state and is sent by a mobile terminal AP through a 4G mobile network;
wherein, the BP of the 4G baseband and the BP of the 5G baseband can be the same.
A2. A network side sends a file of 5G cell measurement configuration to a BP of a 4G baseband of a mobile terminal through a 4G mobile network;
it should be noted that the execution sequence of step a1 and step a2 can be interchanged, and is not limited herein.
A3. The BP of a 4G baseband of the mobile terminal monitors a 5G signal of the mobile terminal through a 4G mobile network;
A4. the BP of the mobile terminal 5G baseband automatically generates a 5G weak signal instruction under a 5G mobile network;
specifically, the 5G weak signal instruction includes the signal strength of the 5G weak signal.
A5. The BP of the mobile terminal 5G baseband respectively compares the signal strength of the 5G weak signal with the threshold value of each measurement event, and generates at least one measurement event according to the comparison result;
the at least one measurement event includes an a2 measurement event.
A6. A network terminal issues a 5G cell configuration releasing signaling to a BP of a 4G baseband of a mobile terminal;
A7. when the A2 measurement event meets the reporting condition, the BP of the mobile terminal 5G baseband only reports the A2 measurement event, and does not report the A3 measurement event, the A4 measurement event, the A5 measurement event or the A6 measurement event which meets the reporting condition.
A8. After receiving the A2 measurement event, the network terminal issues a BP for releasing 5G cell configuration signaling to a 4G baseband of the mobile terminal;
A9. and the BP of the mobile terminal 5G baseband switches the 5G mobile network to an inactive state according to a release 5G cell configuration signaling sent by the BP of the mobile terminal 4G baseband, so that the mobile terminal accesses the 4G mobile network and receives and transmits data through the 4G mobile network.
Example 2
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for quickly deactivating a mobile network according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
The method for quickly deactivating the mobile network comprises the following steps:
in step S210, current operation information of the mobile terminal is obtained, and a predetermined operation mode is identified according to the operation information.
In particular, the predetermined operating mode may be identified by:
the first mode is as follows: the operation information comprises an accumulated value of flow values transmitted by the mobile terminal in a preset time.
The mobile terminal AP determines whether the accumulated value is smaller than a predetermined traffic threshold, wherein the traffic threshold may be obtained through statistics or according to an allowed transmission traffic value of the 4G network.
If the accumulated value is smaller than the traffic threshold value, it means that the mobile terminal is in a practical small traffic service, such as chatting, browsing web pages, etc., within a certain time, and therefore, it is determined that the mobile terminal is in the predetermined operating mode under such a condition.
And if the accumulated value is greater than or equal to the traffic threshold value, determining that the mobile terminal is in a non-preset working mode under the condition.
In this embodiment, the predetermined time may be 5 s. In some other embodiments, the predetermined time may also be 1s, 2s, or 3s, and the like, which is determined according to application requirements and is not limited herein.
For example, when the predetermined time is 5s, the accumulated flow value is the sum of all flow values transmitted within 5 s.
The second mode is as follows: the operation information includes application identifiers of all application software currently operated by the mobile terminal, and an application list allowing delay is also stored in the mobile terminal in advance, for example, the application list may include application identifiers of application software such as WeChat, QQ, a browser and the like;
judging whether all application identifications exist in the application list or not; and if all the application identifications do not exist in the application list, the mobile terminal is in the preset working mode.
Specifically, an AP in a mobile terminal obtains all application identifiers currently used, searches an application list by using the application identifiers as an index, and if all application identifiers do not exist in the application list, determines that the mobile terminal does not currently use an application with a low delay requirement, so that the mobile terminal in this case is in a predetermined working mode; if at least one application identity is present in said list of applications, it means that at least one application with low latency requirements is in use in said mobile terminal, and therefore the operating mode of the mobile terminal in this case is a non-predefined operating mode.
In step S220, when it is monitored that the mobile terminal is in the predetermined operating mode, a deactivation enabling signal for the first mobile network is generated.
This step is the same as step S110, and is not described herein again.
In step S230, it is determined whether the mobile terminal currently accesses the first mobile network.
When the mobile terminal accesses the first mobile network, go to step S240; when the mobile terminal does not access the first mobile network, the deactivation operation is not executed.
In step S240, weak signal signaling in the first mobile network is generated according to the deactivation enabling signal.
This step is the same as step S130, and is not described herein again.
In step S250, the weak signal signaling is reported to the network, so that the network generates a release network configuration signaling for the first mobile network according to the weak signal signaling.
This step is the same as step S140, and is not described herein again.
In step S260, the first mobile network is switched to an inactive state according to the release network configuration signaling received from the network end, so that the mobile terminal accesses the second mobile network.
This step is the same as step S150, and is not described herein again.
Example 3
Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for quickly deactivating a mobile network according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
In step S310, current operation information of the mobile terminal is obtained, and a predetermined operation mode is identified according to the operation information.
This step is the same as step S210, and is not described herein again.
In step S320, when it is monitored that the mobile terminal is in the predetermined operating mode, a deactivation enabling signal for the first mobile network is generated.
This step is the same as step S110, and is not described herein again.
In step S330, it is determined whether the mobile network currently accesses the first mobile network.
When the mobile terminal accesses the first mobile network, go to step S340; and when the mobile terminal does not access the first mobile network, the deactivation operation is not executed, and the process is ended.
In step S340, weak signal signaling in the first mobile network is generated according to the deactivation enabling signal.
This step is the same as step S130, and is not described herein again.
In step S350, it is determined whether the signal strength indicated by the weak signal instruction satisfies the reporting condition of each measurement event.
Specifically, the first mobile network corresponds to a plurality of measurement events, and each measurement event corresponds to a corresponding threshold value.
And comparing the signal strength indicated by the weak signal instruction with the threshold value corresponding to each measurement event respectively, and judging whether the signal strength indicated by the weak signal instruction meets the reporting condition corresponding to each measurement event. Wherein the measurement event comprises at least a first measurement event indicating that a serving cell signal strength is below a certain threshold value.
For example, an a1 measurement event, an a2 measurement event, an A3 measurement event, an a4 measurement event, an a5 measurement event, and an a6 measurement event are included in the 5G mobile network.
Wherein, the A1 measurement event represents that the signal strength of the serving cell is higher than a certain threshold;
the a2 measurement event indicates that the serving cell signal strength is below a certain threshold, and the a2 measurement event is the first measurement event;
a3 measurement event indicates that the quality of the same frequency/different frequency adjacent cell is higher than that of the service cell;
a4 measurement event indicates that the quality of the pilot frequency adjacent region is higher than a certain threshold;
a5 measurement event indicates that the quality of service cell is lower than a certain threshold and the quality of adjacent cell is higher than a certain threshold;
the service quality of the A6 neighbor cell is better than that of the secondary cell.
As can be seen from the step of generating the weak signal command, the signal strength of the 5G weak signal indicated by the weak signal command satisfies the reporting condition of the a2 measurement event.
In addition, as can be seen from the comparison, the 5G weak signal indicated by the weak signal command may also satisfy the reporting conditions of the A3 measurement event, the a4 measurement event, the a5 measurement event, and the a6 measurement event.
In step S360, a measurement event in the first mobile network is generated for the signal strength indicated by the weak signal signaling.
And generating the measurement events meeting the reporting conditions according to the judgment results of the steps, such as an A2 measurement event, an A3 measurement event, an A4 measurement event, an A5 measurement event and an A6 measurement event.
In step S370, only the first measurement event is reported to the network, and reporting of other measurement events except the first measurement event is suppressed.
Only reporting the A2 measurement event to the network and inhibiting the A3 measurement event, the A4 measurement event, the A5 measurement event and the A6 measurement event from reporting, so that the network only receives the A2 measurement event.
In step S380, the first mobile network is switched to an inactive state according to the release network configuration signaling received from the network end, so that the mobile terminal accesses the second mobile network.
For example, in order to maintain the fast establishment of the 5G mobile network link, the inactive state may retain the connection state between the mobile terminal and the core network, and delete the connection state between the mobile terminal and the wireless side, thereby greatly reducing the transition delay from the original idle state to the connection state.
Further, the predetermined threshold value may be modified according to a setting of a technician at the network side, and may be obtained by learning according to a plurality of groups of activation threshold value data or a plurality of groups of deactivation threshold value data counted in advance.
