Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order; also, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a basic structure of a signaling plane of an LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile communication network in the prior art.
As shown in fig. 1, in the conventional scheme, a set of network-accessing authentication data is stored in a SIM card, and the network-accessing authentication data mainly includes an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and a set of authentication keys. Correspondingly, a set of subscription data of the SIM card is also provided in the HSS (Home Subscriber Server), where the subscription data includes an IMSI, an authentication key, an MSISDN, and service parameters, and the MSISDN is called a Mobile Subscriber International ISDN/PSTN number, that is, a Mobile Subscriber International ISDN/PSTN number, which is a number that a calling Subscriber needs to dial in a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) for calling GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), and is a number that can uniquely identify the Mobile Subscriber in a Public switched telephone Network numbering plan. The ISDN is an Integrated Service Digital Network, which is a short for Integrated Service Digital Network; the PSTN is a Public Switched Telephone Network, which is an abbreviation of Public Switched Telephone Network. When a User Equipment (UE) accesses a network, the User Equipment (UE) reads an IMSI from a SIM card and sends the IMSI to an MME (Mobility Management Entity), and the MME further obtains subscription data and an authentication vector of the SIM card from an HSS, so that the UE completes an authentication process with the MME in cooperation with the SIM card, and the UE can request the MME to establish a network bearer.
The present disclosure modifies the above method, specifically, a segment of IMSI (may be referred to as IMSI segment) and the same number of MSISDNs are allocated for sharing N prepared electronic SIM cards, where the total number of IMSIs is M, then the M IMSIs may be shared by N terminals, and the number of N may be set to be much greater than M (for example, N is greater than or equal to 10 times of M), so that the prepared electronic SIM cards do not occupy the same network configuration resources as those of a common SIM card, and the resource utilization efficiency of the prepared electronic SIM cards is greatly improved. The following detailed description is given in conjunction with specific examples.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a common method for preparing an electronic SIM card according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the sharing method includes the following steps S101 to S104.

It should be noted that the IMSI segment prepared for storing the electronic SIM card should be an available IMSI segment, for example, the start IMSI and the end IMSI are stored.
S102, the user equipment reads an IMSI and an authentication key from the prepared electronic SIM card and sends the IMSI and the authentication key to the MME.
And S103, the HSS configures corresponding subscription data for the prepared electronic SIM card and sends the subscription data to the MME.
And S104, the MME completes the authentication process with the user equipment based on the IMSI and the authentication key sent by the user equipment and the subscription data sent by the HSS.
The IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) is an identity that is used to distinguish different subscribers in a cellular network and is not repeated in all cellular networks, and has a structure of MCC + MNC + MSIN. Wherein, the MCC is a Mobile Country Code and is the abbreviation of Mobile Country Code; the MNC is a Mobile Network Code and is the abbreviation of Mobile Network Code; MSIN is a Mobile Subscriber identity, and is a short for Mobile Subscriber identity Number, and its structure is CC + M0M1M2M3+ ABCD, where CCs are allocated by different operators, M0M1M2M3 and H0H1H2H3 in MDN (Mobile Directory Number ) may have a corresponding relationship, and four digits of ABCD are freely allocated.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, because the electronic SIM cards prepared by N user equipments share M IMSIs, and N is much larger than M, a fixed IMSI is not used any more when the user equipment logs in the network, but one IMSI can be selected from the M IMSIs for logging in the network, and the IMSIs selected by the user equipment each time the user equipment logs in the network can be different.
In one embodiment, the sharing method further includes the following step S105:
and S105, selecting one IMSI from the IMSI segment stored in the electronic SIM card to write into the IMSI file in the electronic SIM card when the electronic SIM card is prepared to be started each time.
Correspondingly, in step S102, the user equipment reads an IMSI from the prepared electronic SIM card, which specifically includes the following steps S1021:
and S1021, the user equipment reads the IMSI from the IMSI file in the electronic SIM card. Since the IMSI written in the IMSI file may be different each time the electronic SIM card is prepared to be activated, the IMSI read by the user equipment may be different each time, thus enabling dynamic change of the IMSI.
In one embodiment, as a parallel scheme, the sharing method further includes the following steps S106 and S107.
S106, preparing the electronic SIM card and storing a 'use dynamic IMSI mark', wherein the use dynamic IMSI mark represents the use of dynamic IMSI when being set (for example, the value is 1), and the use dynamic IMSI mark represents the use of fixed IMSI when not being set (for example, the value is 0);
s107, preparing the electronic SIM card to select one IMSI from the IMSI segment stored in the electronic SIM card as a fixed IMSI to be written into an IMSI file in the prepared electronic SIM card.
Accordingly, the user equipment reads an IMSI from the electronic SIM card in step S102, which specifically includes the following steps S1022 to S1024.
S1022, the user equipment reads the dynamic IMSI mark from the prepared electronic SIM card;
s1023, if the dynamic IMSI flag is set, the user equipment reads an IMSI segment in the prepared electronic SIM card and selects one IMSI;
and S1024, if the using dynamic IMSI mark is not set, the user equipment reads the fixed IMSI in the IMSI file in the electronic SIM card.
It should be noted that, the aforementioned steps "S105 and S1021" and the steps "S108 to S109 and S1022 to S1024" are parallel schemes, and they can be executed alternatively.
In the two parallel schemes, there may be many methods for selecting one IMSI from M IMSIs. In one embodiment, preparing the electronic SIM card or the user equipment selects one IMSI from the IMSI segment, including: selecting a random number R from 1 to M; and selecting the IMSI with the sequence number R from the IMSI segment. Of course, other existing alternatives may be used, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In one embodiment, step S103 includes steps S1031 and S1032 as follows.
S1031, configuring M sets of signing data for preparing the electronic SIM card by the HSS, wherein each set of signing data comprises IMSI, MSISDN, an authentication key and service parameters, the authentication key and the service parameters in each set of signing data are the same, and the IMSI and the MSISDN are different;
and S1032.HSS selects a set of subscription data corresponding to the IMSI read by the user equipment from the prepared electronic SIM card from the M sets of subscription data and sends the subscription data to the MME.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the M sets of subscription data corresponds to one IMSI in the IMSI segment. And the IMSI and the MSISDN in each set of subscription data are different, and the authentication key and the service parameter are the same. This scheme does not require modification of existing HSS implementations.
In one embodiment, as a parallel scheme, step S103 includes the following steps S1033 to S1035.
S1033, the HSS configures a set of signing data for preparing the electronic SIM card, and the set of signing data comprises: IMSI segment, MSISDN segment, authentication key and service parameter; the IMSI section comprises M IMSIs, and the MSISDN section comprises M MSISDNs;
S1034.HSS selects corresponding IMSI and MSISDN from IMSI segment and MSISDN segment in the set of signing data based on IMSI read from prepared electronic SIM card by user equipment, and combines authentication key and service parameter in the set of signing data to form a set of new signing data;
and S1035, the HSS sends the new subscription data to the MME.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, a set of special subscription data is configured in the HSS, the set of subscription data does not have a fixed IMSI and MSISDN, but configures an IMSI segment and an MSISDN segment, and when the HSS receives a request for reading subscription data from the MME, if it finds that an IMSI (corresponding to an IMSI read by the user equipment from a prepared electronic SIM card) of the request is in the IMSI segment of the set of special subscription data, the HSS combines the IMSI and its corresponding MSISDN, the authentication key, and the service parameter into a set of new subscription data to be returned to the MME.
It should be noted that, the foregoing steps S1031 and S1032 and the steps S1033 to S1035 are parallel schemes, and they can be executed alternatively.
It can be seen that, in the two parallel schemes, for each IMSI, the corresponding subscription data (the authentication key, the service parameters, and the like) is completely the same except that the MSISDN is different.
