Network access method and apparatus
The embodiment of the present invention discloses a network access method and apparatus. The method comprises: a UE receiving WLAN access auxiliary information sent by a 3GPP access network; according to the information, the UE measuring WLAN radio signal quality and performing an access judgment to obtain a judgment result; and the UE accessing to the WLAN according to the judgment result. The present invention can accelerate the access of the UE to the WLAN and enable the UE to acquire subsequent data joint transmission and/or services, thereby improving the user experience.
1. A network access method, comprising:
a user equipment (UE) receiving wireless local access network (WLAN) access auxiliary information transmitted by a 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access network;
said UE performing a measurement and an access judgment based on said WLAN access auxiliary information and obtaining a judgment result;
said UE accessing said WLAN according to said judgment result;
wherein, said UE performing said measurement and access judgment according to said WLAN access auxiliary information comprises:
said UE measuring said WLAN's signal quality according to said WLAN access auxiliary information;
said UE performing an access judgment according to said WLAN's signal quality and acquired WLAN access condition to obtain said judgment result;
wherein said WLAN access condition is configured by a network side for said UE or preset in said UE; said WLAN access condition is judged out by said UE after said UE performs comprehensively sorting according to acquired information items, wherein said information items comprise at least one of the following: WLAN's signal quality measurement result, WLAN's load information, priorities of WLAN access points.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, said UE receiving said WLAN access auxiliary information from said 3GPP access network comprising: said UE receiving said WLAN access auxiliary information sent by said 3GPP access network via a system message or a dedicated signaling.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, said 3GPP access network comprises one of the following: long term evolution (LTE) network, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) network, global system for mobile communications (GSM) network.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein, said WLAN access auxiliary information comprises at least one of the following: said WLAN's Basic Service Set type, said WLAN's Basic Service Set Identifier, said WLAN's service set identifier, said UE's scan type, ProbeDelay before sending a probing frame when said UE performs an active scanning, ChannelList detected when said UE scans said basic service set, MinChannelTime taken by said UE scanning each channel, MaxChannelTime taken by said UE scanning each channel, WLAN load information, a Media Access Control address of said WLAN access point, and priorities of WLAN access points.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, said 3GPP access network comprises one of the following: long term evolution (LTE) network, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) network, global system for mobile communications (GSM) network.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, said WLAN access auxiliary information comprises at least one of the following: said WLAN's Basic Service Set type, said WLAN's Basic Service Set Identifier, said WLAN's service set identifier, said UE's scan type, ProbeDelay before sending a probing frame when said UE performs an active scanning, ChannelList detected when said UE scans said basic service set, MinChannelTime taken by said UE scanning each channel, MaxChannelTime taken by said UE scanning each channel, WLAN load information, a Media Access Control address of said WLAN access point, and priorities of WLAN access points.
7. A network access apparatus, applied to a UE, comprising:
a receiving module, configured to receive a WLAN access auxiliary information sent by a 3GPP access network;
a processing module, configured to perform measurement and access judgment according to said WLAN access auxiliary information to obtain a judgment result; and
an accessing module, configured to access said WLAN according to said judgment result;
wherein, said processing module comprises:
a measuring sub-module, configured to measure said WLAN's signal quality according to said WLAN access auxiliary information; and
a judging sub-module, configured to execute an access judgment in accordance with said WLAN's signal quality and acquired WLAN access condition, to obtain said judgment result
said WLAN access condition is configured by said network side for said UE or preset by said UE; said WLAN access condition is judged out by said UE after said UE performs comprehensively sorting according to acquired information items, wherein said information items comprise at least one of the following: WLAN's signal quality measurement result, WLAN's load information, and priorities of said WLAN access points.
