US 2021/0243677 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING NETWORK ACCESS

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for controlling network access. According to the method, a target type carrier carrying traffic to be transmitted is determined when a traffic request is to be initiated, where the target type carrier includes a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier, or a non-SUL carrier, Target AC configuration information applicable to the target type carrier is determined according to access control AC configuration information issued by a base station. It is determined whether the user equipment is allowed to perform an AC process through the target uplink carrier by matching the target AC configuration information against access detection information of the user equipment.

Dependent claims

A method for controlling network access, applicable to user equipment, comprising:

determining a target type carrier carrying traffic to be transmitted when a traffic request is to be initiated, wherein the target type carrier comprises:
a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier, or a non-SUL carrier;
determining target access control (AC) configuration information applicable to the target type carrier according to AC configuration information issued by a base station;
and
determining whether the user equipment is allowed to perform an AC process through the target uplink carrier by matching the target AC configuration information against access detection information of the user equipment.

A method for controlling network access, applicable to a base station, comprising:

determining access control (AC) configuration information applicable to a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier and a non-SUL carrier, wherein the AC configuration information comprises first AC configuration information applicable to the non-SUL carrier, and second AC configuration information applicable to the SUL carrier;
and
sending the AC configuration information to user equipment to enable the user equipment to determine target AC configuration information according to a target type carrier for carrying traffic to be transmitted and perform an AC process based on the target AC configuration information.

An apparatus for controlling network access, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory for storing processor executable instructions;
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a target type carrier carrying traffic to be transmitted when a traffic request is to be initiated, wherein the target type carrier comprises:
a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier, or a non-SUL carrier;
determine target access control (AC) configuration information applicable to the target type carrier according to AC configuration information issued by a base station;
and
determine whether the user equipment is allowed to perform an AC process through the target uplink carrier by matching the target AC configuration information against access detection information of the user equipment.
