The networking mode of the NSA, part of the services and functions of which need to be realized through the 4G network, is a 5G network realized after the 4G infrastructure is modified. From the view of network transmission speed alone, the network has the characteristic of high speed as the SA network, and the network speed is 10 times that of the 4G network.

The networking mode of the SA, all in the network is redesigned and constructed, and only serves the 5G network. Compared with the NSA network, the SA network not only has the advantage of high speed, but also has the characteristics of low time delay and wide connection, and is very important for the field of industrial Internet.

The 5G SA has three application scenes of eMB (enhanced mobile broadband), URLLC (high reliability and low time delay), mMTC (massive large connection) and 5G brand-new characteristics of network slicing, edge computing, cloud network fusion and the like, and can provide various 5G applications such as VR (virtual reality), AR (enhanced reality), ultra-high definition video, smart industry, smart medical treatment, smart education, smart business and the like for a great number of users.

According to the 3GPP protocol requirement specification and the implementation policy of the chip manufacturer, the communication protocol stacks are all access technologies that preferentially reside in the highest-level network, i.e., compared with 4G, a terminal with 5G capability preferentially or actively tries to search for and reside in 5G. This will cause the terminal to search/detect the 5G SA network with "invalidity" in the aforementioned area due to low 5G network distribution (only partial hot spot area deployment), which will cause the power consumption of the terminal to increase, and at the same time, since most of the dual-card terminals in the market are only one set of RF receiver, which will cause the situation that the service of another card is affected due to the RF resource occupation.

In the current scheme of accessing the terminal to the network, generally, after the terminal resides in the corresponding network, whether to close the 5G path is determined according to the content of the network air interface signaling transmission, and the scheme cannot solve the above pain point problem and cannot avoid the unnecessary optimal network detection process.

Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a solution, which can solve the problems of 'invalid' network search and power consumption increase caused by the fact that the existing network 5G SA network deployment ratio is low and the terminal supporting 5G needs to meet the high-priority access technology residence strategy.

The first embodiment:

referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a first embodiment of the processing method of the present application.

In this embodiment, the processing method of the present application is applied to the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a terminal), such as a UE, as described above, where the terminal establishes a communication connection with a network device in a network communication system where the terminal is located, and the network device may be a base station, and the like.

As shown in fig. 3, the processing method of the present application includes the following steps:

s20: whether to close the SA path is determined based on the network environment information.

The main execution body of the method of this embodiment may be a terminal, such as a UE, where the UE is an electronic device supporting a fifth generation mobile communication technology non-independent networking 5G NSA and/or a fifth generation mobile communication technology independent networking 5G SA networking mode and a networking mode of more than 5G.

Optionally, the communication protocol stacks are all access technologies that preferentially camp on the highest-level network, that is, compared to 4G, a terminal with 5G capability preferentially or actively attempts to search for and camp on 5G.

In the scheme of the embodiment, a 5G SA access start strategy is configured, and the 5G SA access start strategy is to close 5G or more network modes, so that an unnecessary optimal network detection process is avoided, power consumption is reduced, and the standby time of the whole device is prolonged.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined based on network environment information of a network environment in which the terminal is located.

For example, if the network environment information of the network environment where the terminal is located includes SA network deployment in a 5G or above 5G network mode, the SA access is not closed, so that the terminal executes a network search residing policy of high-priority access; and/or if the network environment information of the network environment of the terminal does not comprise SA network deployment in a 5G or more than 5G network mode, closing an SA passage so that the terminal does not execute a network search resident strategy in the 5G or more than 5G network mode.

One embodiment is as follows:

if the 5G SA network deployment does not exist in the home or company of the user, the terminal supporting the 5G SA access technology does not try 5G network search (including foreground and background search), and therefore, unnecessary network search can be reduced and the power consumption of a terminal system can be reduced by intelligently identifying the network environment.

Optionally, if the network environment where the terminal last resided in the network includes an SA network deployment in a network mode of 5G or more than 5G, the SA access is not closed, so that the terminal executes a network search residence policy accessed to the network environment where the terminal last resided in the network; and/or if the network environment information of the terminal for the last network residence does not comprise SA network deployment in a 5G or more than 5G network mode, closing an SA passage so that the terminal does not execute a network search residence strategy in the 5G or more than 5G network mode.

One application scenario is as follows:

before the terminal is powered off or is in a stay-away network (DETACH), if the environment connected with the network is 5G, the terminal does not turn off 5G SA network search; if the terminal is connected in a dual link manner including LTE technology before being powered off or being detached from the internet (DETACH), for example: EN-DC (EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, LTE-NR Dual Connectivity), NGEN-DC (NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, LTE-NR Dual Connectivity of NR core network), NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, NR-LTE Dual Connectivity), or connected only in LTE, WCDMA, GSM, etc., the terminal closes the 5G SA network search.

Optionally, the terminal determines the network environment information according to the information stored in the SIM card. Optionally, the terminal reads the SIM card PLMN information and the corresponding access information to determine whether to close the SA access. Optionally, if the SIM card indicates that the access information of the corresponding PLMN contains 5G, the terminal does not close the SA access; and/or if the SIM card indicates that the access information of the corresponding PLMN does not contain 5G, the terminal closes the SA access.

Therefore, whether the SA access is closed or not is determined based on the network environment information, so that the problem that the power consumption of the terminal is increased due to 'invalid' 5G SA network search/detection when the terminal supporting the 5G and above network modes covers the area with low occupancy rate in the 5G network is solved, an unnecessary optimal network detection process is avoided, the power consumption is reduced, and the standby time of the whole machine is prolonged.

Compared with the related technology, the scheme of the embodiment of the invention determines whether to close the SA access or not according to the identified network environment information by forward judgment, namely intelligent identification of the regional network distribution of the terminal, solves the problems of invalid network search and power consumption increase caused by the fact that the existing network 5G SA network is low in deployment duty ratio and the terminal supporting 5G needs to meet the high-priority access technology resident strategy, avoids the unnecessary optimal network detection process, effectively reduces the power consumption of UE, improves the whole machine standby time of the UE and improves the user experience.

Optionally, the S20 step may include:

if the network environment has SA network deployment in a first preset network mode, not closing an SA passage so as to enable the terminal to execute a network search resident strategy of high-priority access; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,

Optionally, the first preset network mode may be a 4G or 5G or greater network mode.

Optionally, the network environment information may include at least one of:

the first preset network mode exists in the area where the terminal is located;

the first preset network mode does not exist in the area where the terminal is located;

the first preset network mode exists in a conventional area where the terminal is located;

the first preset network mode does not exist in the conventional area where the terminal is located;

the information acquired by the terminal from the SIM card comprises the first preset network mode;

and the information acquired by the terminal from the SIM card does not contain the first preset network mode.

Optionally, the area where the terminal is located may be a regular area or an irregular area.

Optionally, the regular area in which the terminal is located may include at least one of: a user resident place, a two-point one-line commuting line/place which is daily established by the user.

The non-regular area where the terminal is located may be another temporary area to which the terminal leaves the regular area, such as other areas to which business trips, tourism, etc. go.

Compared with the related technology, the scheme of the embodiment of the invention determines whether to close the SA access or not according to the identified network environment information by advancing the judgment, namely, through intelligent identification of the regional network distribution of the terminal, solves the problems of invalid network search and power consumption increase caused by the fact that the existing network 5G SA network deployment ratio is low and the terminal supporting 5G needs to meet the high-priority access technology residence strategy, avoids the unnecessary optimal network detection process, effectively reduces the power consumption of UE, improves the whole machine standby time of the UE and improves the user experience.

the first preset network mode does not exist in the conventional area where the terminal is located;

the information acquired by the terminal from the SIM card comprises the first preset network mode;

and the information acquired by the terminal from the SIM card does not contain the first preset network mode.

Optionally, the first preset network mode may be a 4G or 5G or more network mode.

Optionally, the S10 step may include: and acquiring the network environment information of the area where the terminal is located through a network detection module on the terminal.

Optionally, the S10 step may include: and acquiring the network environment information configured by the SIM card of the terminal through a network detection module on the terminal.

Optionally, the step S10 includes:

Optionally, the method further comprises at least one of:

and in response to the fact that the cell or adjacent cell communication data are not consistent with the local network deployment map, determining network environment information of an unconventional area where the terminal is located based on the cell or adjacent cell communication data, and/or updating the local network deployment map corresponding to the unconventional area according to the cell or adjacent cell communication data.

comparing the cell or neighbor cell communication data with a local network deployment map corresponding to the unconventional area;

if the cell or adjacent cell communication data is inconsistent with the local network deployment map, the network environment information of the unconventional area where the terminal is located can be determined based on the cell or adjacent cell communication data, and/or the local network deployment map corresponding to the unconventional area is updated according to the cell or adjacent cell communication data, so that the network environment information of the area where the terminal is located can be accurately obtained through the scheme.

Optionally, the step of obtaining the conventional network deployment hotspot map corresponding to the conventional area may further include:

and determining a conventional network deployment hotspot map of a conventional area where the terminal is located.

Optionally, the determining of the conventional network deployment hotspot map of the conventional area where the terminal is located includes at least one of:

determining based on a local network deployment map corresponding to the conventional area;

the terminal communication method is determined based on historical communication information of the terminal in a conventional area and combined with AI machine learning training.

Optionally, based on historical communication information of the terminal in a conventional area, and in combination with a scheme of determining a conventional network deployment hotspot map of the conventional area where the terminal is located in association with AI machine learning training, on the basis of ensuring that the rules of a 3GPP protocol are not violated, in combination with a user personal portrait and big data historical communication information, a terminal network search strategy supporting 5G SA is optimized through AI intelligent prediction, so that the use experience of a user is improved, and meanwhile, the power consumption of the terminal is ensured to be reduced.

Optionally, in the scheme of determining the conventional network deployment hotspot map of the conventional area where the terminal is located based on the historical communication information of the terminal in the conventional area and in combination with AI machine learning training, an individual user network representation of the conventional area (or referred to as conventional environment) is formed through AI machine learning training, and the conventional network deployment hotspot map of the conventional area where the terminal is located is constructed.

After the network representation of the individual users in the conventional area is formed, if communication data of the unconventional area (or unconventional environment) is received, the communication data is compared with local network deployment map information input by the cloud end, judgment is carried out according to a comparison result, and meanwhile, the local network deployment map of the unconventional area can be reversely updated according to the received communication data.

One embodiment is as follows:

when a user goes from a conventional area to other hot spot areas, the network environment cognition/identification of the unconventional area outside the conventional environment of the user can be expanded by deploying the hot spot map through the built-in local network. And comparing the identified network environment communication data of the unconventional area with local network deployment map information of the unconventional area input by a cloud terminal, and judging according to a comparison result.

Meanwhile, the network deployment hotspot map of the unconventional area can be reversely updated according to the measured current cell environment, so that the decision making judgment is more accurate. By the method, the time consumed by AI machine learning within a period of time is avoided, the decision output is more timely, and the power consumption of the terminal system is reduced.

Optionally, when the evaluation is performed according to the comparison result, the decision of closing the 5G channel is mainly evaluated, for example, if it is determined that the non-conventional area where the terminal is located has the network mode of 5G or more than 5G according to the comparison result, the SA access is not closed, so that the terminal executes the network search residence policy of the high-priority access, and if it is determined that the non-conventional area where the terminal is located does not have the network mode of 5G or more than 5G according to the comparison result, the SA access is closed, so that the terminal does not execute the network search residence policy of the network mode of 5G or more than 5G.

Optionally, when the above evaluation is performed according to the comparison result, the following evaluation may be output: based on the stability index of the cell, a decision is made whether to change the RAT, the serving cell and the reselection/handover path. For example: in a 3G connection state, due to lack of network 4G neighbor cell configuration, a 4G cell cannot reside, and in such a scenario, it is necessary to decide whether to change an RAT, a serving cell, and a reselection/handover path based on a stability index of the cell.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

and (4) residing in a 2G/3G/4G/5G network mode, and stability indexes (including cell residence time, switching frequency, call completing rate, packet loss reselection rate, BLER and the like) of a terminal residing state.

Optionally, the step of obtaining the conventional network deployment hotspot map corresponding to the conventional area may include:

and in response to that the conventional network deployment hot spot map corresponding to the conventional area is not obtained, determining the conventional network deployment hot spot map corresponding to the conventional area through AI machine learning training based on historical communication information of the terminal in the conventional area.

Optionally, when the area where the terminal is located is determined to be a conventional area, if the conventional network deployment hot spot map corresponding to the conventional area is not obtained, historical communication information of the terminal in the conventional area is obtained, the conventional network deployment hot spot map corresponding to the conventional area is determined through AI machine learning training based on the historical communication information of the terminal in the conventional area, and therefore an individual user network representation of the conventional area can be formed through continuous obtaining of the historical communication information of the terminal in the conventional area and the AI machine learning training, and the conventional network deployment hot spot map of the conventional area where the terminal is located is constructed.

Optionally, before the step S10, the method further includes the step of:

and prefabricating a local network deployment map corresponding to each area.

Alternatively, the local network deployment map corresponding to each area may be constructed by collecting historical communication information of each area, including cell or neighboring cell communication data and the like. So that the network environment information of the area where the terminal is located can be determined according to the local network deployment map corresponding to each area.

Optionally, the method may further include:

Alternatively, the second network mode may be ranked lower than the 4G network mode.

One embodiment is as follows:

if a user resides in a 3G network and initiates a service request, the 4G neighbor configuration is lost in a 3G network connection state, and a terminal cannot be switched to 4G, so that the user cannot acquire larger bandwidth and speed (for example, 4G or 5G).

The following describes in detail the processing principle of the terminal in the solution of this embodiment with reference to fig. 5:

optionally, the network mode set by the terminal is 5G preferred or at least 5G supported.

As shown in fig. 5, the terminal system includes 4 modules: cloud control module, AI network detection module, power consumption control module, modem communication protocol layer, wherein:

the cloud control module has the functions that: the method comprises the steps that a public open global network deployment map is collected based on an operator/Google map and a test, and a target market terminal user is pushed through a cloud control interface (4);

the AI network detection module has the following functions: receiving information input by a Modem communication protocol layer through an interface (1), receiving information input by a cloud control module through a cloud control interface (4), training through a built-in AI (artificial intelligence) model based on the information input by the Modem communication protocol layer and the cloud control module, and outputting a decision;

the power consumption control module has the functions of: receiving the decision output by the AI network detection module through the interface (2), and controlling the action of a Modem communication protocol layer through the interface (3) based on the decision of the AI network detection module;

modem communication protocol layer functions: on one hand, AI training data required by the AI network detection module is collected and reported, and on the other hand, the instruction of the power consumption control module is executed and responded;

the detailed scheme is as follows:

for the Modem communication protocol layer, the data to be reported by the Modem communication protocol layer includes, but is not limited to, the following:

resident network mode, serving cell and neighbor cell signal strength and cell (and neighbor) relationship distribution;

the serving cell detects the result for the 5G SA background network after the 2G/3G/4G network mode is reserved;

the method comprises the steps that (1) neighbor cell measurement of a 5G SA cell configured by a network is reserved in a 2G/3G/4G network mode;

and (4) residing in a 2G/3G/4G/5G network mode, and stability indexes of a residing state (including cell residing duration, switching frequency, call completing rate, packet loss reselection rate, BLER and the like).

For the AI network detection module, after the AI network detection module receives the data of the Modem communication protocol layer, AI model training is carried out to form a network portrait of an individual user in a conventional environment.

After the network portrait of the individual user in the ' conventional environment ' is formed, if communication data in the non- ' conventional environment ' is received, the communication data in the ' conventional environment ' is compared with the local network deployment map information input by the cloud control module, judgment is carried out according to a comparison result, and meanwhile, the network deployment map in the non-conventional environment ' can be reversely updated according to the received communication data.

Optionally, the output evaluation result may include: 5G channel switch decision; and/or deciding whether to change the RAT, the serving cell, the reselection/handover path and the like based on the stability index of the cell.

For example: in a 3G connection state, due to lack of network 4G neighbor cell configuration, a 4G cell cannot reside, and in such a scenario, it is necessary to decide whether to change an RAT, a serving cell, and a reselection/handover path based on a stability index of the cell.

Alternatively, a "conventional environment" refers to a commute line/place, resident place, of a user on a daily basis, on a two-point-by-one basis.

And for the power consumption control module, after receiving the decision instruction of the AI network detection module, the power consumption control module converts the decision instruction into an instruction which can be identified by the Modem communication protocol layer and sends the instruction to the Modem communication protocol layer to execute action/receive response.

Optionally, the step S20 includes:

determining whether to close the SA access based on the network environment information and combining at least one of the following items:

a terminal state;

the user has historical usage.

Optionally, the terminal state may include: battery level, communication quality, bandwidth requirements, subscription traffic, mobility state.

Alternatively, whether to shut down the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the battery power of the terminal.

Compared with the 4G LTE,5G SA, the power consumption is larger, so that the SA access can be closed when the battery power of the terminal is lower than a preset threshold value.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the communication quality of the terminal.

Considering the communication quality provided by the 5G SA, whether to shut down the SA path is determined in conjunction with the communication quality provided by the 5G SA. The method specifically comprises the following steps: BLER/terminal received signal quality is poor, or the bandwidth provided by the network makes 5G signal quality poor or provides insufficient network resources, such as: when the BLER is high, or the quality of the 5G signal received by the cell edge is poor, or the provided network resources are insufficient, the experience under the 5G SA is poor, and then the SA path may be closed.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the bandwidth requirements of the terminal.

For example, for app applications with low traffic demand (e.g., web applications or instant chat applications, which may be satisfied by a 4G network), the SA path may be closed;

alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the subscription traffic of the terminal.

For example, the SA may be turned off when the monthly subscription package traffic of the terminal is below a preset threshold. Because the 5G flow is consumed quickly, the situation that the use of a user is influenced due to insufficient flow of the terminal at the end of a month can be avoided by adopting the mode.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the moving state of the terminal.

Considering that a high frequency band is used by 5G, the coverage of a cell is small, and when a terminal is in a high-speed mobile state, in order to ensure service continuity, there are many cell reselections/handovers, which may have a certain influence on service experience of a user (for example, influence on continuity of a call).

Therefore, after the terminal detects the high-speed moving state, the SA path may be closed to ensure continuity/fluency of the service experience.

Optionally, the user historical usage may include (in conjunction with D1) at least one of:

1) User experience (including application blocking situation, voNR voice call quality detection, call connection rate/call drop rate index and the like) in a 5G SA network residing at a certain time period/certain place can be recorded locally and an SA access can be closed if the experience is not good;

2) Setting a terminal network mode by a user in a certain period;

3) User specific terminal mode (such as conference mode, do not disturb mode, drive mode, etc.) settings for terminal network mode.

EXAMPLE III

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a third embodiment of the processing method of the present application.

In this embodiment, the processing method of the present application is applied to the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a terminal), such as UE, as described above, where the terminal establishes a communication connection with a network device in a network communication system where the terminal is located, the network device may be a base station, and the like.

As shown in fig. 6, the processing method includes the steps of:

s200: whether to close the SA path is determined based on the network map.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined based on a network map of the network environment in which the terminal is located.

For example, if the network map of the network environment in which the terminal is located includes SA network deployment in a 5G or more than 5G network mode, the SA access is not closed, so that the terminal executes a network search residing policy of high-priority access; and/or closing the SA access if the network map of the network environment of the terminal does not comprise the SA network deployment of the network mode of 5G or more than 5G, so that the terminal does not execute the network search resident strategy of the network mode of 5G or more than 5G.

One embodiment is as follows:

if the situation that the 5G SA network deployment does not exist in the home or company place of the user is determined through the network map, the terminal supporting the 5G SA access technology does not try 5G network searching (including foreground and background searching), and therefore unnecessary network searching can be reduced and power consumption of a terminal system can be reduced through intelligent identification of the network environment.

Therefore, whether the SA access is closed or not is determined based on the network map, so that the problem that the power consumption of the terminal is increased due to 'invalid' 5G SA network search/detection in the area with low coverage ratio of the 5G network of the terminal supporting the 5G and above network modes is solved, an unnecessary optimal network detection process is avoided, the power consumption is reduced, and the standby time of the whole machine is prolonged.

Compared with the related technology, the scheme of the embodiment of the invention carries out forward judgment, namely, intelligent identification of network distribution is carried out through a network map of the area where the terminal is located, whether an SA access is closed or not is determined according to the identified network distribution, the problems of invalid network search and power consumption increase caused by the fact that the existing network 5G SA network deployment ratio is low and the terminal supporting 5G needs to meet a high-priority access technology residence strategy are solved, an unnecessary optimal network detection process is avoided, the power consumption of UE is effectively reduced, the whole machine standby time of the UE is prolonged, and the experience degree of a user is improved.

Optionally, the S200 step may include:

Optionally, the network map comprises at least one of:

a local network deployment map corresponding to the area where the terminal is located;

a local network deployment map corresponding to a conventional area where the terminal is located;

and the local network deployment map corresponding to the unconventional area where the terminal is located.

Optionally, the S200 step may include:

determining network environment information based on the network map;

Optionally, the network environment information includes at least one of:

the first preset network mode exists in the area where the terminal is located;

the first preset network mode does not exist in the area where the terminal is located;

the first preset network mode exists in a conventional area where the terminal is located;

and the first preset network mode does not exist in the normal area where the terminal is located.

Optionally, the area where the terminal is located may be a regular area or an irregular area.

Optionally, the regular area in which the terminal is located may include at least one of: a user resident place and a two-point one-line commuting line/place which is daily established by the user.

The non-regular area where the terminal is located may be another temporary area to which the terminal leaves the regular area, such as other areas to which business trips, tourism, etc. go.

One implementation is as follows:

before the terminal is powered off or is in a stay-away (DETACH) state, the environment connected with the network is 5G, and the terminal does not turn off 5G SA network search; if the terminal is connected in a dual link manner including LTE technology before power off or leaving network (DETACH), for example: EN-DC (EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, LTE-NR Dual Connectivity), NGEN-DC (NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, LTE-NR Dual Connectivity of NR core network), NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, NR-LTE Dual Connectivity), or connected only in LTE, WCDMA, GSM, etc., the terminal closes the 5G SA network search.

Therefore, the network environment information is determined based on the network map, and whether the SA access is closed is determined based on the network environment information, so that the problem that the power consumption of the terminal is increased due to 'invalid' 5G SA network search/detection in the area with low coverage ratio of the 5G network of the terminal supporting the 5G and above network modes is solved, the unnecessary optimal network detection process is avoided, the power consumption is reduced, and the standby time of the whole machine is prolonged.

and prefabricating local network deployment maps corresponding to the areas.

Optionally, the local network deployment map corresponding to each area may be constructed by collecting historical communication information of each area, including cell or neighboring cell communication data and the like. So that the network environment information of the area where the terminal is located can be determined according to the local network deployment map corresponding to each area.

Optionally, the method may further include:

Optionally, the second network mode may be ranked lower than the 4G network mode.

One implementation is as follows:

The terminal function structure and principle of the present embodiment may be implemented with reference to fig. 5, and reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments specifically, which are not described herein again.

Optionally, the step S200:

determining whether to close the SA passage based on the network map and combining at least one of the following items:

a terminal state;

the user has historical usage.

Optionally, the terminal state may include: battery level, communication quality, bandwidth requirements, subscription traffic, mobility state.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the battery level of the terminal.

Compared with the 4G LTE and the 5G SA, the power consumption is larger, so that the SA access can be closed when the battery power of the terminal is lower than a preset threshold value.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the communication quality of the terminal.

Considering the communication quality provided by the 5G SA, whether to shut down the SA path is determined in conjunction with the communication quality provided by the 5G SA. The method specifically comprises the following steps: BLER/terminal received signal quality is poor, or the bandwidth provided by the network is such that 5G signal quality is poor or network resources are not sufficient, such as: when the BLER is high, or the quality of the 5G signal received by the cell edge is poor, or the provided network resources are insufficient, the experience under the 5G SA is poor, and then the SA path may be closed.

Alternatively, whether to shut down the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the bandwidth requirements of the terminal.

For example, for app applications with low traffic demand (e.g., web applications or instant chat applications, which may be satisfied by a 4G network), the SA path may be closed;

alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the subscription traffic of the terminal.

Alternatively, whether to close the SA path may be determined in conjunction with the moving state of the terminal.

Considering that the high frequency band is used by 5G, the coverage area of the cell is small, and when the terminal is in a high-speed moving state, in order to ensure service continuity, there are more cell reselections/handovers, which may cause a certain influence (for example, influence on continuity of a call) on the service experience of the user.

Therefore, after the terminal detects the high-speed moving state, the SA path may be closed to ensure continuity/fluency of service experience.

Optionally, the user historical usage may include (in conjunction with D1) at least one of:

1) User experience (including application blocking situation, voNR voice call quality detection, call connection rate/call drop rate index and the like) in a 5G SA network residing at a certain time period/certain place can be performed, if the experience is poor, local recording can be performed, and an SA access can be closed;

2) Setting a terminal network mode by a user in a certain period;

3) User specific terminal mode (such as conference mode, do not disturb mode, drive mode, etc.) settings for terminal network mode.
