Access method and system, user equipment, and network side device
First Claim
1. An access method comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment, a first message that carries identifiers of a plurality of second network access points, wherein each of the second network access points can perform air interface offloading with a first network in which the user equipment is located;
selecting, by the user equipment, a second network access point from the plurality of second network access points based on information provided by the identifiers describing characteristics of the plurality of second network access points, including at least a load of each of the second network access points; and
accessing, by the user equipment, the selected second network access point.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an access method and system, a user equipment, and a network side device. The method includes: receiving, by a user equipment, a first message that carries an identifier of a second network access point, where the second network access point can perform air interface offloading on a first network in which a user equipment is currently located; and when the first message carries identifiers of a plurality of second network access points, selecting, by the user equipment, one second network access point from the plurality of second network access points according to first auxiliary information, and accessing the selected second network access point. By adopting the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, an access delay can be effectively shortened, and access efficiency can improved, thereby effectively implementing offloading.
