Description

User terminal access method, initial mobile management entity and base station
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a user terminal access method, an initial mobility management entity, and a base station.
Background
In order to satisfy operators to deploy dedicated core networks to serve some specific users, the third Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) introduced the Dedicated Core Network (DCN) function in version R13.
When an Evolved Node B (eNodeB) receives an Attach Request (Attach Request) message of a User Equipment (UE), the eNodeB first sends the Attach Request message to an initial Mobility Management Entity (MME). The initial MME first obtains a Dedicated Core Network Identity (DCN ID) corresponding to the UE, and determines whether the MME allows providing a service for a DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the UE. If the initial MME does not allow providing a service to the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the UE, the initial MME determines a target MME Group ID corresponding to the DCN ID corresponding to the UE according to a mapping relationship between the DCN ID and a Mobility management entity Group identifier (MME Group ID), and sends the target MME Group ID to the eNodeB through a Request for reselecting a dependent Architecture (Request no-dependent Architecture Request, route NAS Request) message. Wherein, the MME in the Mobility Management Entity Pool (MME Pool) indicated by the target MMEGroup ID allows providing services for the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the UE. Further, the eNodeB selects a target MME from the MMEPool according to Dedicated Core Network Capacity (DCN Capacity) of each MME in the MME Pool, and accesses the UE to the target MME.
According to the 3GPP standard, different DCNs are attributed to different MME Pool, i.e. all MME within the same MME Pool allow the same DCN for the service. Therefore, the target MME selected according to the above scheme is not in the same MME Pool as the initial MME. Therefore, the scheme can not realize the reselection of the MME in the same MME Pool.

As an optional implementation manner, the determining the identifier includes a globally unique mobility management entity identifier of the target mobility management entity, and the generating the reselection non-independent architecture request message including the determined identifier of the target mobility management entity includes:
generating a global unique mobile management entity identifier of the target mobile management entity, and adding the global unique mobile management entity identifier into an additional global unique temporary user terminal identifier cell;

Detailed Description
The following description will be made with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture for accessing a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the architecture includes a user terminal 11, a base station 12, an initial mobility management entity 13, and a target mobility management entity 14. The user terminal 11 may be various types of intelligent terminals, and for example, may be a Mobile phone (e.g., an Android Mobile phone, an iOS Mobile phone, etc.), a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), and other terminal devices. In the embodiment of the present application, the base station 12 is an eNodeB. The initial mobility management entity 13 and the target mobility management entity 14 are two different MMEs within the same MME Pool, and the DCNs allowed to be served by the initial mobility management entity 13 and the target mobility management entity 14 are different.
When there is an attachment requirement, the ue 11 may first determine the bs 12 and then send an Attach Request message to the bs 12.
Specifically, the user terminal 11 may determine the base station 12 according to Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) code and signal measurement of an operator to which the user terminal belongs. The PLMN Code includes a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network number (MNC) of the ue 11.
Upon receiving the Attach Request Message, the base station 12 may send an Initial user terminal Message (Initial UE Message) to the Initial mobility management entity 13. Wherein, the Initial UE Message includes the Attach Request Message.
Specifically, the base station 12 may first determine a target MME Pool corresponding to the user terminal 11 from a plurality of MME pools managed by the base station, and then determine an initial mobility management Entity 13 corresponding to the user terminal 11 from the target MME Pool according to mobility management Entity Capacity (MME Capacity) of each MME in the target MME Pool.
As an optional implementation manner, the base station 12 may randomly select one MME Pool from a plurality of MME pools managed by the base station to determine as the target MME Pool corresponding to the user terminal 11.
As another optional implementation manner, the base station 12 may determine the target MMEPool corresponding to the user terminal 11 from the multiple MME Pool according to the total mobile management entity capacity of each MME Pool in the multiple MME pools managed by the base station. Wherein, the total Capacity of the mobility management entity is the sum of MME capacities of all MME in the MME Pool.
Specifically, if the base station 12 receives the Attach Request messages of 1 UE, the base station 12 may determine the MME Pool with the highest total capacity of the mobility management entity as the target MME Pool corresponding to the UE; if the base station 12 receives the Attach Request messages of multiple UEs, the base station 12 may determine target MME Pool corresponding to the multiple UEs according to a ratio of total capacity of the mobility management entities of each MME Pool.
For example, when the base station 12 manages a first MME Pool and a second MME Pool, and the total capacities of the mobility management entities of the first MME Pool and the second MME Pool are 2000 and 1000, respectively, if the base station 12 receives an Attach Request message only receiving 1 UE, the base station 12 may determine the first MME Pool as a target MMEPool corresponding to the UE; if the base station receives Attach Request messages of 3 UEs, the base station 12 may determine the first MME Pool as a target MME Pool corresponding to any two UEs, and determine the second MME Pool as a target MME Pool corresponding to another UE.
Further, if the target MME Pool corresponds to a UE, the base station 12 may determine the MME with the highest MMECapacity in the target MME Pool as the initial MME corresponding to the UE; if the target MME corresponds to multiple UEs, the base station 12 may determine the initial MMEs corresponding to the multiple UEs according to the ratio of MME capacities of the MMEs in the target MME Pool.
For example, when the target MME Pool includes a first MME and a second MME, and the mmecapacities of the first MME and the second MME are 200 and 100, respectively, if the target MME Pool corresponds to only one UE, the base station 12 may determine the first MME as the initial MME corresponding to the UE; if the target MME Pool corresponds to 3 UEs, the base station 12 may determine the first MME as an initial MME corresponding to any two UEs, and determine the second MME as an initial MME corresponding to another UE.
When receiving the Initial UE Message, the Initial mobility management entity 13 may respond to the Attach Request Message to obtain the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11.
The DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 is the DCN ID of the DCN to which the user terminal 11 belongs, and the DCN to which the user terminal 11 belongs is the DCN capable of providing the service for the user terminal 11.
For example, when the ue 11 is a fourth Generation mobile communication technology (4th Generation Evolved, 4G) terminal, the DCN to which the ue 11 belongs may be a Dedicated Core Network (4G EPC DCN) of a fourth Generation Evolved Packet Core (EPC Network). Alternatively, when the ue 11 is a fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation Evolved, 5G) terminal, the DCN to which the ue 11 belongs may be a dedicated Core Network (5th Generation Non-standard architecture-specified Core Network, 5G NSADCN) of a Non-independent architecture of the fifth Generation mobile communication technology.
As an alternative embodiment, the initial mobility management entity 13 may obtain a target user terminal application Type (UE Usage Type) subscribed to by the UE 11 from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) by initiating an Authentication Information Request (AIR) procedure. Further, the initial mobility management entity 13 may obtain a target DCN ID corresponding to the target UE Usage Type according to a mapping relationship between the UE Usage Type and the DCN ID configured in advance locally, and determine the target DCN ID as the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11.
If the HSS does not support the subscribed UE Usage Type, as another optional implementation, the initial mobility management entity 13 may obtain an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the UE 11, determine a terminal Type to which the UE 11 belongs according to the Number segment of the IMSI, and then configure a DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11 according to the terminal Type. Wherein the terminal type is used to indicate that the user equipment 11 is a 4G terminal or a 5G terminal.
If the HSS does not support the subscribed UE Usage Type, as another optional implementation, the initial mobility management entity 13 may obtain a UE Network Capability (UE Network Capability) of the UE 11, and determine a DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11 according to the UE Network Capability.
For example, when the UE Network Capability indicates that the UE 11 has 5G Capability, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the DCN ID of the 5G NSADCN as the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11. Alternatively, when the UENetwork Capability indicates that the ue 11 does not have the 5G Capability, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the DCN ID of the 4GEPC DCN as the DCN ID corresponding to the ue 11.
As another optional implementation manner, the initial mobility management entity 13 may obtain the UE Network Capability possessed by the UE 11 and the target UE Usage Type subscribed by the UE 11, and determine the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11 according to the UE Network Capability and the target UE Usage Type.
For example, if the UE Network Capability indicates that the UE 11 has 5G Capability and the target DCN ID corresponding to the target UE usage Type is the DCN ID of 5G NSADCN, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the DCN ID of 5G NSADCN as the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11; if the UE Network Capability indicates that the UE 11 does not have the 5G Capability or the target DCN ID corresponding to the target UE Usage Type is the DCN ID of the 4G EPC DCN, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the DCN ID of the 4G EPC DCN as the DCN ID corresponding to the UE 11.
When obtaining the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine whether the MME (i.e., the initial mobility management entity 13) is configured to allow providing a service for the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 (i.e., the DCN to which the user terminal 11 belongs).
In the embodiment of the present application, the initial mobility management entity 13 is configured with a DCN ID set corresponding to the MME in advance. And the DCN ID set corresponding to the MME comprises the DCN ID of each DCN in the DCN set which the MME allows to serve. If the DCN ID set corresponding to the initial mobility management entity 13 includes the DCN ID corresponding to the user equipment 11, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine that the MME is configured to allow the service to be provided for the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the user equipment 11; if the DCN ID set corresponding to the initial mobility management entity 13 does not include the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine that the MME is configured to disallow the service to be provided for the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11.
If the initial mobility management entity 13 is configured to allow the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the ue 11 to be served, the initial mobility management entity 13 may access the ue 11 and continue to complete the attach procedure of the ue 11.
As an optional implementation manner, if the initial mobility management entity 13 is configured to not allow the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 to be provided with a service, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine, based on the first local preconfigured configuration information, a MME set that allows the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 to be provided with a service, and acquire the DCN Capacity of each MME in the MME set.
In this embodiment, the first configuration information includes DCN ID sets corresponding to other MMEs in the MME Pool where the initial mobility management entity 13 is located and DCN capacities of other MMEs. The DCN Capacity of the MME includes a DCN Capacity corresponding to each DCN ID in the DCN ID set corresponding to the MME, and the DCN Capacity corresponding to the DCN ID refers to a DCN Capacity of a DCN indicated by the DCN ID.
The DCN ID sets corresponding to other MMEs and the DCN capacities of other MMEs may be obtained by the initial mobility management entity 13 through local static configuration, or may be obtained by the initial mobility management entity 13 from other MMEs through an interaction (Echo) procedure.
Further, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the target mobility management entity 14 corresponding to the user terminal 11 from the MME set according to the DCN Capacity of each MME in the MME set.
Specifically, if it is determined that the MME set allows providing a service for a DCN indicated by a DCN ID corresponding to a UE with an attachment requirement, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine, as a target MME corresponding to the UE, an MME with a highest DCN Capacity corresponding to the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 in the MME set; if it is determined that the MME set allows providing a service to the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to the UE with an attachment requirement, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the target MME corresponding to the UE according to a ratio of DCN Capacity corresponding to the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 in each MME of the MME set.
For example, when the MME set includes a third MME and a fourth MME, the DCN ID set corresponding to the third MME includes DCN3 and DCN4, and the DCN ID set corresponding to the fourth MME includes DCN3 and DCN5, where DCN capacities corresponding to DCN3 and DCN4 in the third MME are 20 and 30, respectively, DCN capacities corresponding to DCN3 and DCN5 in the third MME are 10 and 30, respectively, and the DCN ID corresponding to the user terminal 11 is DCN3, if it is determined that the MME set only allows to serve the DCN indicated by the DCN ID corresponding to one UE with an attachment requirement, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the third MME as the target MME corresponding to the UE; if it is determined that the MME set allows providing services for DCNs indicated by DCN IDs corresponding to 3 UEs requiring attachment, the initial mobility management entity 13 may determine the third MME as a target MME corresponding to any two UEs, and determine the fourth MME as a target MME corresponding to another UE.
In a specific embodiment, when the initial Mobility Management Entity 13 determines the target Mobility Management Entity 14, the initial Mobility Management Entity 13 may generate a Globally Unique Mobility Management Entity Identity (GUMMEI) of the target Mobility Management Entity 14 and add the generated GUMMEI to an Additional GUTI cell.
Wherein, the GUMMEI includes the MCC and MNC of the user terminal 11 and the mmeroup ID and the Mobility Management Entity Code (MME Code) of the target Mobility Management Entity 14.
Wherein, the MME Group ID is an identifier of the MME Pool where the target MME 14 is located, and the mmeco is a unique identifier of the target MME 14 in the MME Pool.
Further, the initial mobility management entity 13 may generate a route NAS Request message including the Additional GUTI cell, and send a route NAS Request message including the Additional GUTI cell to the base station 12.
When receiving the route NAS Request message including the Additional GUTI cell, the base station 12 may parse the Additional GUTI cell to determine the target mobility management entity 14 according to the GUMMEI included in the Additional GUTI cell.
In another specific embodiment, when the initial mobility management entity 13 determines the target mobility management entity 14, the initial mobility management entity 13 may generate an MME Code information element. Further, the initial mobility management entity 13 may acquire the MME Code of the target mobility management entity 14 and add the acquired MME Code to the MME Code information element.
Further, the initial mobility management entity 13 may generate a route NAS Request message including the MME Code cell and transmit the route NAS Request message including the MME Code cell to the base station 12.
When the base station 12 receives the route NAS Request message including the MME Code cell, the base station 12 may parse the MME Code cell to determine the target mobility management entity 14 according to the MME Code included in the MME Code cell.
In this embodiment, the initial mobility management entity 13 directly determines the MME (i.e. the target mobility management entity 14) serving the ue 11, and instructs the base station 12 to directly determine the target mobility management entity 14 through the GUMME carrying the target mobility management entity 14 in the existing Additional GUTI cell or through the MME Code carrying the target mobility management entity 14 in the newly added MME Code cell, so as to reduce the dependence on the wireless side (i.e. the base station 12).
