The field 105 is an authentication check code,

Field 106 is the subscription proxy IP address and

field 107 is the subscription proxy application port number.

Based on the above-described specific components of the server, the process of subscribing to the service by the MTC device according to this embodiment may specifically include the following processing:

1. and initializing the MTC equipment and acquiring configuration information.

The MTC equipment also becomes an MTC terminal, and is an Internet of things communication terminal based on a 3GPP wireless cellular network.

The configuration information includes the IMEI, the country code IMSI _ MCC and the network code IMSI _ MNC, IMSI in the SIM card.

MTC devices generally have two modes of operation: the MTC devices usually do not have a large amount of data transmission and the requirements of power saving and low mobility, and therefore, the MTC devices mostly work in the SLEEP MODE, that is, there is no direct signaling and data connection with the system network, and only when the MTC devices are in the WAKE-UP MODE, that is, the working MODE, and there is data or signaling transmission, the MTC devices will establish access connection with the system core network.

2. The MTC device carries out initial network attachment and initial network registration.

The MTC device sends a registration message to a core Network element, the core Network element confirms an authentication result to the MTC server, and the MTC server may be deployed by a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) operator or provided by a maintainer of the MTC server, and uses a specific APN (Access Point Name, Access Point). Usually, the MTC server needs to be connected to a network element of a core network of an operator network to manage and maintain MTC devices and process MTC application data.

3. After the MTC device is normally registered, it periodically sleeps according to a DRX (Discontinuous Reception) period sent by a core network element and a sleep policy of the MTC server, and enters a sleep mode.

The MTC device conducts periodic dormancy according to a DRX period in a paging message sent by a network, disconnects network connection, releases network resources, reduces terminal power consumption, and only when a power saving wakeup timer of the network UE is overtime, the MTC device conducts wakeup check to determine whether data connection or signaling connection is needed or not, and enters a working mode.

4. When the user has MTC equipment to modify the service provider information, an application is initiated, and an administrator modifies the target MTC equipment service provider through the equipment management module.

And the administrator modifies the service provider application of the target MTC equipment through the service configuration module.

5. The equipment management module initiates a wake-up request to the target MTC equipment, forcibly wakes up the target equipment, and sends the proxy service subscription server information to the target MTC equipment.

The device management module is a group of application programs located in the device management server, and provides a group of operable interfaces for an administrator to view service subscription conditions of configured MTC terminal devices.

The awakening REQUEST initiates a PAGING message (PAGING REQUEST) to the MTC equipment, carries the target MTC equipment subscription information IMSI and IMEI, and agent subscription service information, and comprises a proxy server address and a target port number; the server address is the network address of the order proxy server, the port number information in the proxy order service information elements of different service providers is different, and the port number represents the processing process of different operators or service providers.

The order agent module is a group of application programs located in the order agent server, provides a group of application processes for connecting with the client, can provide necessary protocol gateway data conversion, sends a request to the order server of the target operator, requests the target operator to carry out number allocation or provides an operator service number list, and simultaneously initiates an order release request to the original order operator.

6. The MTC device performs safety authentication according to the awakened authentication information (the authentication information comprises IMEI, IMSI and verification authentication code, also called authentication code for short) generated by the network side, and the MTC replies a network confirmation message and initiates a connection request message to a target proxy subscription server after receiving the authentication code according to the calculation result of the operator subscription data algorithm in the SIM card, wherein the request message comprises the information of the target operator, namely port number information.

7. The subscription agent module initiates a number assignment application to a target operator network according to the connection request message, and simultaneously initiates a service logout request to the original operator, which is stated in the specification, and the subscription agent server can acquire the original operator of the MTC device according to the IMSI of the MTC device.

The order agent module analyzes the information of the connection, then distributes the information to different processing processes according to the port number information, the different port numbers represent the processing processes of different operators or service providers, and sends a request to a target operator network after confirming the connection as target equipment according to the IMEI and the IMSI carried by the connection; and meanwhile, sending a pin number request to the original service provider to log off the required service.

8. And after receiving the number allocation request, the target operator performs identity authentication and then performs number allocation, and transmits number allocation data (namely ordering data) to the requesting MTC equipment.

The number allocation data is mainly sent to the MTC equipment through a TCP/IP data packet, and the MTC equipment updates operator information and authentication information in the virtual SIM circuit through the SIM management module after identity verification and switches to a new subscription operator.

9. And after the original request MTC equipment receives the number-placing data, the SIM management module is informed to update operator information in the virtual SIM circuit, and service switching is carried out at the same time.

The virtual SIM is an SIM management method without a traditional entity SIM, various function simulations and data storage of the SIM card are completed through a group of hardware circuits, the virtual SIM is directly arranged in a terminal after leaving a factory, and a group of safe application programming interfaces can be provided for modifying information and application of the SIM card.
