Embodiment
Because in the prior art; UE is when initiating the Attach processing; Only can to current register to mobile control and management entity report a cover temporary mark parameter (for example only report GUTI, or only report P-TMSI and Old RAI), with so that current register to mobile control and management entity unique one overlap the temporary mark parameter according to what UE reported; Be positioned at the preceding MME that service is provided for UE of this Attach; Or for UE provides the GPRS of service, promptly current register to mobile control and management entity can only move the control and management entity to a Geju City and send Identification Request message, with the IMSI of request UE; Thereby make current register to mobile control and management entity obtain less than the probability of the IMSI of UE bigger; And then increase to the probability of UE request IMSI through eating dishes without rice or wine, the probability that the IMSI of UE is stolen also increases, and has increased network security hidden danger.
And in the concrete actual moving process of network, after idle state signaling optimization (ISR, the IdleSignaling Reduction) function of UE is activated; UE can be registered to respectively on SGSN and the MME, makes UE like this after removing Attach, stores P-TMSI and the Old RAI of SGSN for its distribution respectively; With MME be the GUTI of its distribution; That is to say after UE removes Attach have two to exist in the EPS system, i.e. MME and SGSN for this UE provided the mobile control and management entity of service; The Context a period of time that can store UE respectively in these two mobile control and management entities, and the time span that keeps is not necessarily identical.When old MME deleted the Context of this UE, old SGSN still might remain with the Context of this UE like this.Therefore; When UE initiates Attach; The mobile control and management entity that current register arrives sends the IMSI of Identification Request message with request UE to old MM/E; And old MME is can not provide the IMSI of this UE because of the Context that has deleted this UE the time; The mobile control and management entity that current register arrives can also send the IMSI of Identification Request message with request UE to old SGSN then, if old SGSN still remains with the Context of UE, then old SGSN can provide the IMSI of this UE in the Identification Response message of responding.Like this current register to mobile control and management entity just need not to obtain its IMSI through eating dishes without rice or wine to UE again, and then reduced the probability that the IMSI of UE is stolen, increased the fail safe of system, reduced the potential safety hazard of system.
Except the UE of above-mentioned introduction after activating the ISR function; It possibly store at least two covers at every turn and be used to locate outside the temporary mark of different mobile control and management entities when initiating Attach; Also exist other situation to make UE when initiating Attach, possibly store at least two cover temporary marks at every turn; For example UE successively is registered to different mobile control and management entities, and its stores synchronized has the temporary mark of different mobile control and management entities for its distribution.This shows make UE when each Attach of initiation, store at least two covers to be used to locate the implementation of the different temporary marks that move the control and management entities a lot; Here no longer give to introduce in detail one by one, just make that also the enforcement scene of technical scheme of the present invention is many accordingly.
Technical scheme of the present invention proposes two kinds of methods of in the Attach process, obtaining the IMSI of UE here, can increase the fail safe of Attach process through these two kinds of methods, and improves the execution speed of Attach process, at first introduces first kind of scheme below.
As shown in Figure 1, be first kind of process chart that in the Attach process, obtains the method for ID that the present invention proposes, wherein implementation procedure is following:
Step 10; In current Attach process; The mobile control and management entity that the UE current register arrives (maybe be for MME, also possibly be SGSN; Also possibly carry out the entity etc. of mobile management for other to UE) receive at least two cover different effective temporary marks that this UE reports, wherein the effective temporary mark of every suit is used to be positioned at a mobile control and management entity of initiating before this Attach to provide for this UE service;
Wherein UE report current register at least two cover different effective temporary marks of mobile control and management entity include but not limited to following two covers:
One cover is used to locate the GUTI parameter of this MME for when mobile control and management entity is MME;
One cover is used to locate (P-TMSI, Old RAI) parameter of this SGSN for when mobile control and management entity is SGSN.
Step 11, this current mobile control and management entity that is registered to is according to the above-mentioned at least two cover different effective temporary marks that receive, at least two different mobile control and management entities that the location is corresponding;
Step 12, this current mobile control and management entity that is registered to is to the ID (following in the specific embodiment elaborate process, as will to be that IMSI is an example with the ID) of different mobile this UE of control and management entity requests of above-mentioned at least two of navigating to;
Step 13 judges whether to have at least a mobile control and management entity to feed back the ID of this UE, if obtain the ID of this feedback; Otherwise execution in step 14;
Step 14; Current register to mobile this UE of control and management entity requests through eating dishes without rice or wine report of user sign; And (this step is optional to obtain the ID that this UE reports; Because current register to mobile control and management entity when having no the ID of this UE of mobile control and management entity feedback, except request UE through the report of user sign of eating dishes without rice or wine, not getting rid of has other to obtain implementation).
As shown in Figure 2; For realizing the specific embodiment process chart that principle is implemented based on above-mentioned first method; When this specific embodiment is initiated Attach with UE, preserve previous for its MME that service is provided for the GUTI of its distribution be (the P-TMSI of its distribution before for it provided the SGSN of service; Old RAI) set forth for example, the implementation process of the then concrete IMSI that obtains UE is following:
Step 100 supposes that UE stores two cover temporary marks, and wherein first cover is before for it MME of service to be provided the GUTI for its distribution; Second cover is to be (P-TMSI, the Old RAI) of its distribution for it provides the SGSN of service before, and SGSN also may distribute P-TMSI Signature for UE certainly.
Step 110; UE initiates the Attach process through sending Attach Request message to new mobile control and management entity, and UE detected and self whether stored two cover effective temporary mark (GUTI) and (P-TMSI, Old RAI) this moment; Give GUTI and P-TMSI owing to defined some specific values in the TS23.003 standard; When GUTI and these specific values of P-TMSI use, it is invalid then to represent, in addition all expression is effective.For example, when the P-TMSI value is number, sexadecimal value " FFFFFFFF ", represent that then P-TMSI is invalid.Here supposing that UE detects self stores this two cover effective temporary mark (GUTI) and (P-TMSI; Old RAI); Then the effective temporary mark of this two cover of encapsulation in the Attach Request message of initiating promptly encapsulates (GUTI) and (P-TMSI, Old RAI); If UE stores P-TMSI Signature certainly, also can be encapsulated in this message.
Notice that new mobile control and management entity is different and different according to 3GPP access network that UE inserted, when UE inserted when being UTRAN or GERAN, new mobile control and management entity is SGSN; When UE inserted when being E-UTRAN, new mobile control and management entity then is MME.
Certainly, if UE this moment detects when self not storing any effective temporary mark, then UE encapsulate the IMSI of self in Attach Request message, and new mobile control and management entity gets access to direct redirect execution in step 150 behind the IMSI of UE.
Step 121a, the GUTI that new mobile control and management entity reports according to UE confirms the sign of old mobile control and management entity MME, the GTP-C IP address of promptly old MME and GTP-C TEID;
Step 122a, new mobile control and management entity sends Identification Request message according to the MME sign that above-mentioned steps 121a confirms to the MME of correspondence, and carrying this MME in this message is the GUTI that UE distributes;
Step 123a, this MME sends Identification Response message to new mobile control and management entity.
The sign that P-TMSI that step 121b, new mobile control and management entity report according to UE and Old RAI confirm old mobile control and management entity SGSN, the GTP-C IP address of promptly old SGSN and GTP-C TEID;
Step 122b, new mobile control and management entity sends Identification Request message according to the SGSN sign that above-mentioned steps 121b confirms to the SGSN of correspondence, and carrying this SGSN in this message is P-TMSI and the Old RAI that UE distributes;
Step 123b, this SGSN sends Identification Response message to new mobile control and management entity.
Wherein above-mentioned steps 121a~123a and above-mentioned steps 121b~123b can carry out in time synchronously.
Step 130; New mobile control and management entity judges that the IMSI that whether includes UE in the Identification Response message that old MME and SGSN respond identifies; If included the IMSI of UE in first Identification Response message that receives; Then new mobile control and management entity just obtains the IMSI of UE in this Identification Response message that receives; Follow-up step 150 is carried out in redirect then, and needn't wait for again and receive another Identification Response message; If all do not comprise the IMSI sign of UE in two Identification Response response messages that receive, then new mobile control and management entity redirect execution in step 140;
Step 140; New mobile control and management entity obtains the IMSI of UE through NAS Identity process; Be that new mobile control and management entity sends Identity Request message request UE to UE the IMSI of himself is provided, UE sends Identity Response message to new mobile control and management entity, comprises the IMSI of UE in this message; So that new mobile control and management entity gets access to the IMSI of UE, continue execution in step 150 then.
Step 150, new mobile control and management entity are proceeded follow-up Attach with UE and are handled according to the IMSI of the UE that gets access to.
