Network access control method and apparatus, network side device, and terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a network access control method and apparatus, a network side device, and a terminal. The network access control method is used for a first network side device. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a first message which is reported by a terminal and carries terminal capability information; according to the terminal capability information, determining whether the terminal supports a Wifi optimization function, and obtaining a determination result; and when the determination result indicates that the terminal supports the Wifi optimization function, and when the terminal enters a WLAN coverage scope, issuing a WLAN measuring configuration message to the terminal to enable the terminal to carry out measuring according to measuring configuration carried in the WLAN measuring configuration message, and obtaining a measuring result for access control processing. According to the invention, related measuring configuration is only performed on a terminal which supports a Wifi optimization function and enters a WLAN coverage scope so that user experience is prevented from being affected due to generation of unnecessary signaling cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a network access control method, device, network side equipment and terminal. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of operating in the 2.4G license-free frequency band, low equipment cost, easy deployment, and high data rate, WLAN has been considered as an important means of offloading cellular network services. Using the WLAN network to offload cellular network services, especially low-value services such as web browsing, QQ, and msn, can effectively reduce the burden on the cellular network, improve indoor coverage, and provide high-speed access, thereby improving user experience. However, there are still some problems in using WLAN to offload cellular network services. For example, the WLAN network deployed by the operator is inefficient; when the UE is offloaded to the overloaded WLAN network, the user experience is relatively poor; unnecessary WLAN network sc...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, not all base stations and terminals support the Wifi Offloading function. Before adopting the optimization scheme, if there is no communication between the network and the terminal about whether there is a Wifi module and whether it supports the Wifi Offloading capability, then the network side does not know whether the terminal Whether there is a Wifi module and whether it supports the Wifi offloading function may also be configured for terminals that do not have a Wifi module and do not support the Wifi offloading function, which will cause unnecessary signaling overhead and affect user experience
