Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

The method is applied to the network element equipment, and comprises the following steps:

step S110, under the condition that the first USIM and at least one second USIM are determined to be on the same mobile equipment and registered in the same mobile operator network, the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are controlled in a unified manner.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can uniformly control the first USIM and the at least one second USIM under the condition that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are determined to be on the same mobile device and registered in the same mobile operator network, thereby overcoming the defect that in the related technology, network element equipment can only perform independent management and control on the USIMs on the mobile device.

The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific type of the Mobile operator Network, and in an example, the Mobile operator Network may include a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), an Equivalent PLMN (Equivalent PLMN), and an Equivalent Home PLMN (EHPLMN), according to the Network type classification; the mobile network operator category may include a china mobile operator network, a china unicom mobile operator network, a china telecom mobile operator network, and the like, and of course, the above description is exemplary, and the mobile operator network may also include other networks, for example, mobile operator networks of other countries, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Any USIM of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM may be a USIM issued by a mobile operator of a current mobile operator network, and the USIM issued by the current mobile operator may be registered in the current mobile operator network, thereby using a service provided by the current mobile operator network. Of course, any USIM of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM may also be a USIM issued by another mobile operator, for example, a USIM issued by a mobile network operator of another country, and in this case, the USIM issued by the mobile network operator of another country may access the roaming service of the current mobile operator network, so as to use the service provided by the current mobile operator network.

In step S110, in a case that it is determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device and registered in the same mobile operator network, there may be multiple control manners for the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, and a unified control manner for the first USIM and the at least one second USIM will be exemplarily described below. The unified control is different from single card management in the related art, and is a way of unified management and control for at least two USIMs registered on the same mobile device and in the same mobile operator network.

In a possible embodiment, the step S110 of performing unified control on the first USIM and the at least one second USIM may include:

In one example, in case the network element apparatus determines that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile apparatus and are both registered in the current mobile operator network, the registration status of at least two USIMs of said first USIM and said at least one second USIM may be changed, e.g. the at least two USIMs may be changed from a registered status to an unregistered status, i.e. the at least two USIMs are deregistered (Deregistration).

In an example, when a user finds that a mobile device is lost, the card number of any one USIM on the mobile device may be notified to a mobile network operator, so that the mobile network operator may unregister all USIMs registered on the mobile device in the case of determining that all USIMs registered on the mobile device are USIMs of a current mobile operator network, thereby avoiding loss of the user, and unregistering of multiple USIMs may be rapidly implemented in a unified control manner, so as to prevent some USIMs from being unregistered due to forgetting the card number of the USIM by the user, thereby eliminating security vulnerabilities in related technologies.

In one example, the resources may include, for example, time resources, network traffic resources, etc., e.g., when multiple USIM cards all need to handle the same service, the network may allocate USIM priority handling service issued by the mobile network operator of the current mobile operator network; alternatively, when multiple USIM cards all require network services, the network may allocate sufficient network traffic, bandwidth, etc. to the USIM issued by the mobile network operator of the current mobile operator network.

Of course, the above description of resources is exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure, and one skilled in the art can determine the type of resources as desired.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can set the priority of the USIMs in the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, thereby ensuring the service capability of the USIMs issued by the mobile operators of the current mobile operator network.

In one example, assuming that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM include one USIM issued by a current mobile network operator and include USIMs issued by other mobile network operators (e.g., mobile network operators in other countries), when the network element apparatus determines that two USIMs are on the same mobile apparatus and registered in the current mobile operator network, the service priority of the USIM issued by the mobile network operator may be set to be the highest, so that in case of lack of resources (e.g., network resources), the mobile operator network may preferentially secure the service of the USIM issued by the current mobile network operator (e.g., the USIM issued by the other mobile network operators may be slowed down in case of securing the wire speed of the USIM issued by the current mobile network operator).

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can match a suitable USIM for the current service according to the package type of the USIM and the service type of the current service in the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, thereby improving the utilization rate of resources.

In one example, the package type of the USIM may be used to indicate the maximum network traffic and/or the maximum talk time of the USIM over a preset period of time.

In one example, the traffic type of the current traffic includes at least one of a network service type, a telephone service type, and the like.

The present embodiment does not limit the package type and the service type of the USIM.

Determining the USIM to perform the current service according to the service type of the current service and the package type of each USIM may include various embodiments, which are exemplarily described below.

In a possible embodiment, the determining a USIM to perform current service according to a service type of current service and a package type of each USIM may include:

The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of the network traffic threshold, and those skilled in the art can set the value as needed.

In one example, assuming that the first USIM is a traffic card, which specifies that network traffic is 20G/month, the second USIM specifies that network traffic is 300M/month, and the network traffic threshold is assumed to be 3G/month, when the network element apparatus determines that the current service is an internet service (e.g., a download service), it may be determined that the USIM executing the current service is the first USIM.

Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure can reasonably allocate resources and improve the utilization rate of the resources.

In a possible implementation manner, the determining a USIM performing current services according to the service type of the current services and the package type of each USIM may include:

The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of the call duration threshold, and those skilled in the art can set the value as needed.

In one example, assuming that the second USIM is a call card, which specifies a call duration of 500 minutes/month, the first USIM specifies a call duration of 80 minutes/month, and assuming that the threshold of the call duration is 300 minutes/month, when the network element apparatus determines that the current service is a call service (e.g., initiates a call), it may be determined that the USIM executing the current service is the second USIM.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can reasonably allocate resources and improve the utilization rate of the resources.

It should be understood that the above description is exemplary, and in other embodiments, the package type of USIM may include other types, and the service type of USIM may include other types, without limiting the present disclosure.

and respectively controlling each group of USIMs.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can group the first USIM and at least one second USIM to obtain multiple groups of USIMs, and respectively control the multiple groups of USIMs, thereby improving the flexibility.

The grouping basis for grouping the first USIM and the at least one second USIM in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited, and those skilled in the art can determine the grouping basis as needed to implement efficient and independent control of USIMs grouped in different ways.

The control method for controlling each USIM group may include the aforementioned multiple control methods, which are not described herein again.

In summary, the embodiments of the present disclosure may include various unified control methods for the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, so as to improve resource utilization and security of multiple USIMs registered on the same mobile device and the same mobile operator network.

In the above, an exemplary description is given of a unified control manner of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, and in the following, an exemplary description is given of a possible implementation manner of determining that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device and registered in the same mobile operator network.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method may further include:

step S120, receiving a first Location Registration Request (Location Registration Request) of a first USIM, wherein the first Location Registration Request is used for registering the Location of the first USIM in a current mobile operator network;

step S130, in a case that the first location registration request includes a Mobile equipment Identity (Mobile Identity) corresponding to the first USIM and a Mobile equipment Identity corresponding to at least one second USIM, determining that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same Mobile equipment.

By the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can determine whether the first USIM and at least one second USIM are on the same mobile equipment by using the first location registration request of the first USIM, the method is simple and reliable, and whether the first USIM and at least one second USIM are on the same mobile equipment can be quickly judged.

In one example, after the mobile device accesses a cell and selects a mobile operator network, a location registration request may be initiated to register the USIM for location.

In one example, when the mobile device performs location registration, the mobile device identity corresponding to the first USIM and the mobile device identities corresponding to other second USIMs on the current mobile device may be written in the location registration request, and the location registration request may be sent to the network element device.

In one example, the mobile device identity of each USIM may be stored in a USIM card, or may be stored in other storage media, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the present disclosure does not limit an embodiment of how to obtain the mobile device identity of at least one second USIM in the mobile device, and those skilled in the art may determine the mobile device identity as needed.

It should be noted that the mobile device identity may include multiple types, the present disclosure does not limit the specific type of the mobile device identity, and those skilled in the art may refer to the definition of the mobile device identity in the protocol, for example, refer to 3GPP TS 24.008/24.301/24.501.

In the case that the network element apparatus receives the first location registration request of the first USIM through step S120, it may be determined through step S130 whether multiple USIMs are included in the mobile apparatus, and if it is determined that the mobile apparatus identities corresponding to the multiple USIMs are included in the first location registration request, the network element apparatus may determine that the multiple USIMs are on the same mobile apparatus.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can conveniently and quickly determine whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile equipment.

Of course, when it is determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device by the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure may also authenticate the result that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device by other methods, and a possible implementation of authentication will be described below.

In one possible embodiment, the method may further include:

positioning the first USIM and the at least one second USIM respectively;

When the network element device determines that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device through the first location registration request, the network element device may initiate a positioning procedure to position the first USIM and the at least one second USIM respectively, and obtain respective positioning results of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM, and when the positioning results of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are the same, it may be determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are indeed on the same mobile device.

Of course, it should be understood that the positioning results of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are the same, and it can be understood that the positioning deviation of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM is within a preset range, and since the USIMs are usually small and the first USIM and the at least one second USIM on the same mobile device are usually disposed close to each other, the positioning deviation thereof is small and can be ignored.

And when the positioning results of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are different (or have larger deviation), determining that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are not on the same mobile equipment any more.

In the above, an example of possible implementations of determining whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the same mobile device is described, and in the following, an example of possible implementations of determining whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered on the same mobile operator network is described.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the method may further include:

step S140, determining the registration state of the first USIM on the current mobile operator network;

step S150, determining the registration state of the at least one second USIM on the current mobile operator network;

step S160, determining that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network when both the registration state of the first USIM in the current mobile operator network and the registration state of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network are registered.

In one example, in step S140, the network element equipment of the mobile operator network may determine the registration status of the first USIM according to the mobile equipment identity of the first USIM, and in the case that the registration status of the first USIM is a registered status, the network element equipment may determine that the first USIM is registered in the current mobile operator network.

There are various ways in which the disclosed embodiments determine whether the at least one second USIM is registered on the current mobile operator network, which will be exemplarily described below.

In one possible embodiment, the step S150 of determining the registration status of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network may include:

and under the condition that the registration state of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network is a registered state, determining that the at least one second USIM is in the current mobile operator network.

Through the method, the network system of at least one second USIM can be determined according to the mobile equipment identifier corresponding to the at least one second USIM, the registration state of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network is determined under the condition that the network system of the at least one second USIM is the network system of the current mobile operator network, and the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network is determined under the condition that the registration state of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network is the registered state. By the above method, it can be simply and quickly determined whether at least one second USIM is in the current mobile operator network.

In an example, the mobile device identifier may include network system information of the USIM, and when the network element device obtains the mobile device identifier, the network system of the USIM may be directly determined according to the mobile device identifier.

Of course, in some cases, only the range of the network standard (e.g. 2G, 3G) can be determined by the mobile device identifier, in this case, the network element device may determine the network standard of the USIM by using other methods, and as for the specific implementation manner in which the step S140 determines the network standard of the at least one second USIM according to the mobile device identifier corresponding to the at least one second USIM, the present disclosure is not limited, and those skilled in the art may refer to related technologies to implement the method.

If at least one second USIM is registered in the current mobile operator network, the current mobile operator network can label the registration state of the second USIM, and when the mobile operator network needs to judge the registration state of the second USIM, the registration state can be directly determined according to the labeling information of the registration state.

In one example, the network element device may store the registration status of the registered USIM in the storage space, and in the case that determination of the registration status of the USIM is required, the network element device may determine the registration status of the USIM in the storage space by using a mobile device identity of the USIM.

Through the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure may quickly determine whether at least one second USIM is in the current mobile operator network.

Of course, determining whether the at least one second USIM is in the current mobile operator network may include other means.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the step S150 of determining the registration status of the at least one second USIM in the current mobile operator network may further include:

step S170, acquiring a network type of the first USIM according to the mobile equipment identifier corresponding to the first USIM;

step S180, under the condition that the network type of the at least one second USIM is the same as that of the first USIM, determining that the network type of the at least one second USIM is the network type of the current mobile operator network.

Through the method, the network system of the first USIM and the network system of the at least one second USIM can be obtained, and when the network system of the at least one second USIM is the same as the network system of the first USIM, the network system of the at least one second USIM can be determined to be the network system of the current mobile operator network.

When the network type of the at least one second USIM is determined to be the network type of the current mobile operator network, the embodiment of the present disclosure may continue to determine the registration state of the at least one second USIM, and when the registration state of the at least one second USIM is the registered state, it may be determined that the at least one second USIM is registered in the current mobile operator network.

step S190, under the condition that the network system of the at least one second USIM is different from the network system of the first USIM and the network system of the at least one second USIM is a preset network system, determining that the network system of the at least one second USIM is the network system of the current mobile operator network.

The preset network type may include, for example, other network types of the current mobile operator network except the network type of the first USIM, and for example, assuming that the network type of the first USIM is 5G of the current mobile operator network, the preset network type may include 3G of the current mobile operator network, 4G of the current mobile operator network, and the like.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can further determine whether the network standard of the at least one second USIM is other network standard of the current mobile operator network when the network standard of the at least one second USIM is different from the network standard of the first USIM, and can determine that the network standard of the at least one second USIM is the network standard of the current operator network if the network standard of the at least one second USIM is other network standard of the current mobile operator network.

In a case where it is determined that the network type of the at least one second USIM is the network type of the current operator network, it may be further determined that the at least one second USIM is in the current operator network.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines whether at least one second USIM is in the current operator network, which may be at the time of location registration of the first USIM or in a case where the location registration of the first USIM is completed.

For example, in case the network element apparatus receives a first location registration request of a first USIM, a determination may be made as to whether at least one second USIM in the first location registration request is present in the current mobile operator network.

For example, in case the location registration of the first USIM is completed, the network element apparatus may obtain the mobile equipment identity of at least one second USIM stored in the storage space and determine whether the at least one second USIM is in the current mobile operator network.

Of course, it should be appreciated that the process of the network element apparatus determining whether the first USIM, the at least one second USIM, are on the same mobile apparatus, in the same mobile operator network, may be dynamic, for example, when the network element apparatus determines that the USIM1, the USIM2 are on the same mobile apparatus, and in the same mobile operator network, the USIM1, the USIM2 may be controlled in unison. When the mobile device identity of USIM3 is acquired, it may be further determined whether USIM3 is also at the current mobile device, the current mobile operator network, and in the case where it is determined that USIM1, USIM2, USIM3 are at the same mobile device, and at the same mobile operator network, USIM1, USIM2, USIM3 may be collectively controlled.

Of course, the above description is exemplary, and the embodiments of the present disclosure may also determine whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network in other ways, and a possible implementation manner will be exemplarily described below.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the method may further include:

step S210, receiving a second location registration request of a first USIM, wherein the second location registration request is used for performing location registration on the first USIM in a current mobile operator network;

step S220, in a case that the second location registration request indicates that the first USIM and at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network, determining that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile device.

Through the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure may determine whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered on the same mobile operator network and the same mobile device according to the second location registration request of the first USIM, and determine that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered on the same mobile operator network and the same mobile device when the second location registration request indicates that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered on the same mobile operator network.

In one example, the mobile device may determine a registered mobile operator network of the USIM according to the mobile identity of the USIM, such as PLMN of china mobile (46000), (46002), (46007), and the like, and if it is determined that the mobile operator network to which the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered is a PLMN and is one of (46000), (46002), (46007), it may be determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network. Or, the mobile device may determine that the network numbers of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM that have been registered are in a preset table, that is, may determine that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in a mobile operator network, where the preset table may include all network numbers of the same mobile operator network.

In one example, where a mobile device may obtain mobile device identities of a first USIM and at least one second USIM, the mobile device may determine that both the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are on the current mobile device.

In the case where the mobile device determines that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and are on the same mobile device, the mobile device may write information indicating that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and are on the same mobile device into a second location registration request, and of course, in the second location registration request, the respective mobile device identities of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM may also be included.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a control method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the method may further include:

step S240, receiving a third location registration request of the first USIM, where the third location registration request is used to perform location registration on the first USIM in the current mobile operator network;

step S260, in a case that the third location registration request indicates that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM access the same network hotspot, it is determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered on the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile device, where the network hotspot is used for the USIM to access the mobile operator network.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure may determine whether the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile device through a third location registration request of the first USIM, and determine that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile device when the third location registration request indicates that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM access the same network hotspot.

In one example, there may be situations where: the USIM is accessed to the mobile operator network through a network hotspot set by the mobile network operator (e.g., set up with a small base station). For example, a mobile network operator may set a plurality of network hotspots distributed in various areas, and when a USIM needs to be registered (or needs to be serviced), the USIM needs to access the mobile operator network through the network hotspot, and only a USIM that obtains a mobile network operator license agreement (e.g., a USIM that subscribes to roaming services, a USIM issued by a current mobile network operator, etc.) may access the mobile operator network through the network hotspot.

In one example, the mobile device may determine that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network if it is determined that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM access the network through the same network hotspot, and may determine that both the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are currently on the mobile device if the mobile device may acquire mobile device identities of the first USIM and the at least one second USIM.

In a case where the mobile apparatus determines that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile apparatus, indication information indicating that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are registered in the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile apparatus may be written in the third location registration request.

Of course, the foregoing description is exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

The following is an exemplary description of determining that multiple USIMs are on the same mobile operator network and on the same mobile device through location registration requests.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a location registration process according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, the mobile device (MUSIM UE) upon determining the mobile operator network MNO1, sends a location REGISTRATION request of USIM1 to the mobile operator network MNO1, where the location REGISTRATION request of USIM1 may include a mobile device identity of USIM1, and upon receiving the location REGISTRATION request of USIM1, the mobile operator network MNO1 may obtain the mobile device identity of USIM1 and send a REGISTRATION request receipt response (REGISTRATION accept) of USIM1 to the mobile device, and upon receiving the USIM REGISTRATION request receipt response, the mobile device may initiate a location REGISTRATION completion procedure (REGISTRATION COMPLETE) to COMPLETE location REGISTRATION, in which case the mobile device 1 successfully registers on the MNO 1.

Of course, the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of location registration, and those skilled in the art can determine the location by referring to the relevant protocol, for example, 24.5015.5 in the case of 5G.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, when the USIM1 completes the registration procedure, the mobile device may initiate location registration procedures for USIM2, USIM3, USIM4, assuming that the target networks of USIM2 and USIM3 are both MNOs 1, and the target network of USIM4 is MNO2, the mobile device sends the location registration requests of USIM2 and USIM3 (which may be the aforementioned first location registration request, second location registration request, and third location registration request), wherein the location registration request of USIM2 may include the mobile equipment identity of USIM1, the location registration request of USIM3 may include the mobile equipment identities of USIM1 and USIM2, and after MNO1 obtains the location registration requests of USIM2 and USIM3, whether the USIM1, USIM2, and USIM3 are on the same mobile device and registered in the same mobile operator network may be determined according to the location registration requests of the USIM2 and USIM3 (for details, please refer to the previous description, and details are not described here).

In one example, as shown in fig. 8, when location registration of the USIM2 is completed, the MNO1 may collectively control the USIM1, USIM2 upon determining that the USIM1, USIM2 are on the same mobile device and are both registered on MON 1.

In one example, as shown in fig. 8, when location registration of the USIM3 is completed, the MNO1 may perform unified control of the USIM1, the USIM2, and the USIM3 when it is determined that the USIM1, the USIM2, and the USIM3 are on the same mobile apparatus and are all registered on the MON 1.

Since only USIM4 among USIM1, USIM2, USIM3, and USIM4 is registered in MNO2, MNO2 controls MNO2 alone.

Of course, the above description is illustrative, and should not be taken as limiting the disclosure.

Since the current communication protocol does not support sending the mobile device identities of other USIMs by location registration requests at the time of location registration, the protocol needs to be rewritten, and possible rewriting manners are given below so that the control method proposed by the present disclosure can be implemented.

In one example, the protocol for the 3GPP TS24.501 REGISTRATION REQUEST (REGISTRATION REQUEST) may be as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

The last row in table 1 is a newly added communication protocol, and other protocols in table 1 refer to a 3GPP TS24.501 registration request.

Here, IEI represents an information element identifier (information element identifier).

Wherein, the additional MUSIM mobile equipment identity is the mobile equipment identity of other USIMs added in the location registration request.

TABLE 2

As shown in table 2, the content of the additional MUSIM mobile device identification list reference in table 1 includes bytes 1 to N, where the first bit to the seventh bit of byte 1 are used to represent the IEI of the additional MUSIM mobile device identification list. Bytes 2 and 3 may be used to indicate the length of the additional MUSIM Mobile device identity list content, and bytes 4 to N may be used to indicate the additional MUSIM Mobile device identity list content.

The new IEI in the location update request may be an unused IEI, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific IEI.

In one example, the additional MUSIM Mobile device identity may be determined by:

additional MUSIM Mobile equipment identity OF SEQUENCE (SIZE (1..24)) OF MUSIM Mobile equipment identity

MUSIM Mobile Equipment identification: ═ CHOICE:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

mobile equipment identification OCTET STRING (SIZE (1..8)), -see 3GPP TS24.008

eps-mobile identification OCTET STRING (SIZE (4..11)), - -see 3GPP TS24.301

5 gs-Mobile identification OCTET STRING (SIZE (4..1000)), - -see 3GPP TS24.501

}。

It should be noted that the above description of the manner of determining the additional MUSIM Mobile device identity is exemplary and should not be taken as a limitation of the present disclosure.

In one example, a modification may also be made to the 3GPP TS24.008 LOCATION update REQUEST (LOCATION update REQUEST), for example, the modified 3GPP TS24.008 LOCATION update REQUEST may be as shown in table 3.

TABLE 3

In one example, a 3GPP TS24.301 contact REQUEST (ATTACH REQUEST) may also be modified, e.g., the modified 3GPP TS24.301 contact REQUEST may be as shown in table 4.

TABLE 4

The new IEI in the contact request may be an unused IEI, and the disclosure does not limit the specific IEI.

Through the modification, the communication protocol can support the network element equipment to uniformly control a plurality of USIMs which are registered on the same mobile equipment and the same mobile operator network, so that the potential safety hazard can be eliminated, and the user experience is improved.

Through the device, the embodiment of the disclosure can uniformly control the first USIM and the at least one second USIM under the condition that the first USIM and the at least one second USIM are determined to be on the same mobile equipment and registered on the same mobile operator network, thereby overcoming the defect that network element equipment in the related technology can only perform independent management and control on the USIM on the mobile equipment, and by uniformly controlling a plurality of USIMs on the same mobile equipment and registered on the same mobile operator network, the occurrence of security holes can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved while the communication security is improved.
