Method and device for locking cell by fixed wireless terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for locking a cell by a fixed wireless terminal. The method includes: obtaining current location information of the fixed wireless terminal when a network service enabling instruction arrives; and judging whether distance between the current location information and reference location information is smaller than or equal to a preset distance threshold, if yes, allowing the fixed wireless terminal to initiate the network service normally, and if no, forbidding the fixed wireless terminal to initiate the network service. The method for locking the cell by the fixed wireless terminal adopts a region of a fixed area, as long as customized preset distance thresholds are the same, even if for different fixed wireless terminal, the ranges of locking cells are certainly the same, and the network effective coverage area determined by the method for locking the cell is only related to the reference location and the distance threshold, thereby preventing the problem that cell locking fails or an optimal cell cannot be used at a cell junction, and ensuring accuracy of the range of cell locking.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for locking a cell by a fixed wireless terminal. Background technique [0002] At present, many mobile operators have launched fixed wireless terminal products and related tariff packages, taking advantage of low tariffs and small-scale mobility to occupy the original fixed-line market share. However, in order to avoid the impact of the low-cost fixed wireless terminal products on the existing mobile wireless terminal users, the operator hopes to restrict these fixed wireless terminal users to use only in a specific area. After leaving this area, the fixed wireless terminal will be use is prohibited. [0003] In order to achieve the above goals, mobile operators usually use the scheme of locking cells to maintain a list of available cells on the fixed wireless terminal. IDs are compared, and if the currently camped cell is in the list of available cel...

Problems solved by technology

However, this solution has several disadvantages. Due to the inconsistent coverage of different cells, the range of locked cells for different fixed wireless terminals is also different, and the accuracy of the network coverage of fixed wireless terminals cannot be guaranteed.

In order to ensure that users at the junction of cells can use the network normally through fixed wireless terminals, multiple available cells are generally allowed. However, this also creates a loophole. Users can use cell a in place A, and then turn off the fixed wireless terminal and move After arriving at location B, cell b can be used, and when the fixed wireless terminal is turned off and moved to location C, cell c can be used again, which cannot achieve the operator's intended purpose of locking the cell

At the same time, due to the limitation of the number of available cells stored by fixed wireless terminals, users may not be able to use the optimal cell in a complex network environment at the junction of multiple cells.

In addition, when a certain place re-plans the network, fixed wireless terminals may not be able to use the network normally
