The scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be widely applied to wireless communication systems so as to provide various types of communication contents or intelligent computing services, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasting and the like. These systems are capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Such multiple access systems include, for example, fourth generation (4G) systems (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems or LTE-advanced (LTE-a) systems) and fifth generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ techniques such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or discrete fourier transform spread OFDM. A wireless multiple-access communication system may include multiple base stations or network access nodes, each of which simultaneously supports communication for multiple communication devices, which may be referred to as User equipments, UEs (or User terminals, or terminals).

Fig. 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 100 in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communication system 100 includes base stations 105, UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be an LTE network, an LTE-a network, an NR network, or a 6G network, a 7G network, or the like. In some cases, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission critical) communications, low latency communications, or communications with low cost and low complexity devices.

In addition, a terminal as referred to in embodiments of the present disclosure refers to a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device having wireless connection capability, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminals may be mobile terminals such as mobile telephones (or so-called "cellular" telephones) and computers with mobile terminals, e.g. portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included or car-mounted mobile devices, which exchange voice and/or data with a radio access network.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a network information processing method according to an example embodiment. The method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed by any electronic device having a computing processing capability and a communication capability in a target network system (for example, the wireless communication system 100 described above), for example, the method may be executed by the electronic device corresponding to the core network in the embodiment of fig. 1 described above, or may be executed by the electronic device corresponding to a certain network element in the core network, in the following embodiments, the electronic device corresponding to a certain network element in the core network is taken as an execution subject for example, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 2, a network information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps.

In some embodiments, the target network system may include a target core network, which may serve multiple subscription objects. The target network system may be a 4G network system, a 5G network system, an evolved 5G-ADVANCED network of a 5G network, a 6G network system, a 7G network, or any other network that can be used for communication.

Step S202, the target core network collects communication information of a plurality of signed objects.

The communication information may be any communication information related to user communication, and may include at least one of user subscription information of a plurality of subscription objects, a user access control context, a session control context, a mobility management context, a connection control context, a case where a user uses an application, and a user network connection usage context, for example, which is not limited in this disclosure.

The above signed object may refer to all objects signed with the target network system, and may also refer to a user signing for a same purpose of using the subnet service in the target network system, and a person skilled in the art may set a range of the signed object according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3, the target core network may include a core network intelligent control plane, a core network user plane, and the like.

The core network intelligent control plane may be configured and implemented for intelligent requirements in the target network system, for example, according to link management requirements of the network control plane, which is not limited in this disclosure. The core network intelligent control plane can comprise an intelligent control function network element, an intelligent data acquisition function network element, an intelligent analysis function network element, an analysis data storage function network element, an access intelligent function network element and the like.

The core network control plane is a module that can control a network in a target network system, and for example, may collect user subscription data through a user subscription database as shown in fig. 3; the authentication and authorization process of the user can be managed by an authentication and authorization control function network element as shown in fig. 3; for example, the mobility process of the user may be controlled and managed by a mobility control function network element as shown in fig. 3, and the network control plane of the core network proposed in this embodiment may be consistent with the network control plane of the core network in the 5G system, which is not described in detail in this disclosure.

In some embodiments, the target core network may collect, by the core network intelligent control plane, the core network user plane, or a target access network of the target network system, information of the multiple subscribed objects (for example, at least one of subscription information of the subscribed objects, a user access control context, a session control context, a mobility management context, a connection control context, and a user network connection usage context is used as the information of the multiple subscribed objects). The communication information of the plurality of signed objects acquired by the target core network may be stored in the target core network, for example, in an analysis data storage function network element of a core network intelligent control plane of the target core network, so that information acquisition is not required in next analysis, or multiple analyses are not required for the same signed object.

In some other embodiments, the communication information of the above-mentioned multiple signed objects, or the communication information of a part of the signed objects, or the partial communication information of a part of the signed objects may have been collected and stored in advance in the core network. For example, all or part of the communication information in the above signed objects has been stored by an analysis data storage function network element in the core network intelligent control plane; the target core network may directly obtain the communication information of the plurality of objects from the analysis data storage function network element of the core network intelligent control plane. Of course, in the case of incomplete data, the target core network may also continue to collect data to the target access network of the target network system, which is not limited in this disclosure.

The target access network may include at least one access device such as a base station, a satellite, a fixed network, an air network (i.e., an air network in space-ground based air), and the like, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

For example, the core network intelligent control plane may collect data from a storage unit (e.g., an analysis data storage function network element) in each control function network element of the target access network, the core network control plane, and the core network user plane or in the core network intelligent control plane through the intelligent data collection function network element, so as to be used for network intelligent analysis.

Step S204, the target core network analyzes the communication information of the plurality of signed objects, and groups the plurality of signed objects to determine a plurality of signed groups.

In some embodiments, the target core network may analyze communication information of the plurality of subscription objects to group the plurality of subscription objects to determine a plurality of subscription groups.

In some embodiments, the plurality of signed objects may be grouped according to a grouping rule; the plurality of signed objects may also be grouped through model training, for example, the grouping model may be trained in advance according to user requirements, and then communication information of the plurality of signed objects is input into the model during grouping to determine a grouping result of each signed object, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the plurality of subscription objects may be grouped by path characteristics; for example, a plurality of subscription objects may be grouped according to service features; a plurality of signed objects can be grouped according to the mobile characteristics; and the like, the present disclosure does not limit the grouping method of the plurality of subscription objects. It is assumed that the plurality of subscription groups includes a third subscription group, the sub-networks include a third sub-network, and the third subscription group corresponds to the third sub-network. Then, the communication information of the plurality of signed objects can be analyzed, and the signed objects with the same service characteristics are divided into a third signed group, so as to generate a third sub-network which accords with the same service characteristics for the third signed group; the communication information of a plurality of signed objects can be analyzed, and the signed objects which use the fixed network for communication are divided into a third signed group, so that a third sub-network which does not provide a mobility control function is generated for the third signed group; the communication information of the plurality of signed objects may be analyzed to classify the signed objects having the same path characteristics into a third signed group, so as to generate a third sub-network conforming to the same path characteristics for the third signed group.

In short, the present disclosure does not limit the above grouping method for multiple signed objects.

In some embodiments, after the target core network analyzes the plurality of subscription objects, all the subscription objects may be successfully classified into the plurality of subscription groups, so as to provide services for the successfully classified subscription objects through the sub-networks.

In some other embodiments, after analyzing the plurality of subscription objects, the target core network successfully distributes part of the subscription objects into the plurality of subscription groups so that the sub-network can provide services for the successfully grouped subscription objects; if part of the signed objects fail to be grouped, the signed objects which fail to be grouped are provided with services through the core network.

For example, assume that the plurality of signed objects may include a seventh signed object and an eighth signed object; wherein grouping the plurality of subscription objects to determine a plurality of subscription groups comprises: grouping a plurality of signed objects; determining that the seventh signed object successfully distributes into at least one signed group in a plurality of signed groups so as to provide service for the seventh signed object through a sub-network; and if the eighth signed object is determined to be unsuccessfully grouped, providing service for the eighth signed object through the target core network.

The grouping process described above may be implemented, for example, by the intelligent analysis function network element shown in fig. 3, which is not limited by this disclosure.

In step S206, the target core network respectively generates sub-networks for each subscription group according to the communication characteristics of the subscription objects in each subscription group, so that the multiple subscription objects access the sub-networks corresponding to the subscription group in which the target core network is located.

The sub-networks may refer to dedicated, virtualized, and mutually isolated logical networks, and are used to meet the requirement of different subscription groups on differentiation of network capabilities.

In some embodiments, the communication features may refer to communication service features (for example, all the subscribed objects in the subscribed group are communicated through a fixed network), communication path features (for example, all the subscribed objects in the subscribed group are communicated near a certain line), and communication time features (for example, all the subscribed objects in the subscribed group are communicated within a certain time period).

In some embodiments, after the target core network determines the communication characteristics of a certain group, communication resources may be individually allocated to the group according to the communication characteristics of the group to generate a sub-network for the group in the target network system, so that a plurality of subscription objects access the sub-network corresponding to the subscription group where the plurality of subscription objects are located, thereby implementing private network dedication and better providing services for the subscription objects in each subscription group.

For example, if the signed objects in one signed group are all communicated through the fixed network, a subnet without a mobility control function can be generated for the signed group, and network resources are saved (without setting the mobility control function) under the condition that the communication quality of each signed object in the signed group is ensured; for another example, if the signed objects in a signed group only communicate between the a place and the B place, a communication network resource covering only the communication between the a place and the B place can be generated for the group, so that the communication quality of each signed object in the signed group is improved, and the network resource is saved.

In some embodiments, the plurality of subscription groups may include group C and group D. As shown in fig. 4, the target core network may generate a sub-network E and a sub-network F for the contracted group C and the contracted group D respectively according to the communication characteristics of the contracted object in the group C and the communication characteristics of the contracted object in the group D, and set a sub-network control plane, a sub-network intelligent control plane, a sub-network user plane, and the like in the sub-network E and the sub-network F, and each sub-network control plane or user plane may also be correspondingly set with a functional network element (for example, an intelligent control functional network element, an intelligent data acquisition functional network element, an intelligent analysis functional network element, an access intelligent functional network element, and the like may be set in the sub-network intelligent control plane, so that a plurality of contracted objects access the sub-networks corresponding to the contracted groups in which the contracted objects are located, which is not limited by this disclosure.

Certainly, a person skilled in the art can group a plurality of subscription objects according to other requirements, and then set a subnet for each subscription group according to the grouped characteristics, so that the subscription objects in the subscription group can access to the subnet corresponding to the subscription group in which the subscription object is located, thereby realizing private network specialization, ensuring communication quality, saving communication resources, and improving user experience.

The method provided by the embodiment provides a new intelligent control plane, introduces an intelligent related flow into a core flow of a network, and supports the network to dynamically generate a branch network/a sub-network/a private network according to a strategy. The intelligent function is embedded into the core flow of the network, the self-formation of the network is supported, and the goal of the intelligence generation of the future network (such as 6G) is met.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, a new intelligent control plane is introduced on the basis of a traditional network control plane and a traditional user plane, and the functions and the flow of the intelligent control plane are embedded into the core flow of the network, so that endogenous intelligence of the network is realized.

The method provided by the embodiment assists the network to intelligently analyze the network operation condition and the condition that the user uses the network based on the newly introduced intelligent control surface function, and can dynamically generate the exclusive branch network of the user/user group as required, thereby further improving the intelligence of the network and meeting the diversified network use requirements of the user.

In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, a plurality of subscription objects can be grouped by the core network to determine at least one subscription group, and then a corresponding sub-network is determined and generated for each subscription group according to the grouping characteristics, so that the subscription object can access the sub-network used by the subscription group in which the subscription object is located, and thus, the sub-network provides service for the subscription object, and private network specialization is realized, thereby improving the communication experience of the subscription object.

Referring to fig. 5, the above-described network information processing method may include the following steps.

Step S502, the target core network collects the communication information of a plurality of signed objects.

Step S504, the target core network analyzes the communication information of the plurality of signed objects, and groups the plurality of signed objects to determine a plurality of signed groups.

In some embodiments, after grouping the plurality of subscription objects to determine the plurality of subscription groups, the target core network may respectively generate a sub-network for each subscription group according to the communication characteristics of the subscription objects in each subscription group, so that the plurality of subscription objects access the sub-network corresponding to the subscription group in which the plurality of subscription objects are located.

In some embodiments, the plurality of subscription groups may include a first subscription group, the subnetworks corresponding to the plurality of subscription groups may include a first subnetwork, the first subscription group corresponds to the first subnetwork, and the target network system further includes a target access network.

The step of generating the sub-networks for the respective subscription groups by the target core network according to the communication characteristics of the subscription objects in the respective subscription groups may include steps S506 to S512.

Step S506 is performed to generate a candidate sub-network generation policy for the first subscription group according to the communication information of the subscription target in the first subscription group.

In some embodiments, the target core network may generate a candidate sub-network generation policy for the first subscription group according to the communication information of the subscription objects in the first subscription group, where the candidate sub-network generation policy is used for generating a candidate sub-network. For example, the intelligent analysis function network element in the target core network may determine a candidate sub-network generation policy for the first subscription group according to the communication information of the subscription object in the first subscription group acquired by the intelligent data acquisition function.

Step S508, receiving the network status information sent by the target access network.

The network state information may refer to a network state of each access device in the target access network.

In some embodiments, the target core network may receive, from the access network, each access device and network state information between the access devices through the access intelligent functional network element, and then obtain, from the access intelligent functional network element, the network state information through the intelligent analysis functional network element.

In some other embodiments, the target core network stores communication information of each subscribed object in advance, or stores communication information of a part of subscribed objects, or stores partial communication information of a part of subscribed objects, so that the target core network may first obtain the communication information of the plurality of subscribed objects from its own storage unit, and the insufficient part may be continuously obtained from the target access network.

Step S510, determining that the access network coverage on the line corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation strategy accords with the sub-network generation condition according to the network state information.

In some embodiments, the target core network may analyze the network state information through the intelligent analysis module to determine whether a network state in the candidate subnet meets a standard, so as to determine that access network coverage on a line corresponding to the candidate subnet generation policy meets a subnet generation condition, and further determine whether a subnet corresponding to the first subscription group may be generated according to the candidate subnet generation policy.

Step S512, the candidate sub-network generation policy is used as a first sub-network generation policy, so as to generate the first sub-network for the first subscription group according to the first sub-network generation policy.

In some embodiments, if the coverage of the access network on the line corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation policy meets the sub-network generation condition, and it is determined that the network state in the candidate sub-network corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation policy meets the criterion, the candidate sub-network generation policy may be used as the first sub-network generation policy, so as to generate the first sub-network for the first subscription group according to the first sub-network generation policy.

In some embodiments, if the coverage of the access network on the line corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation policy does not meet the sub-network generation condition, it is determined that the network state in the candidate sub-network corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation policy does not meet the standard, and the candidate sub-network generation policy is adjusted until the coverage of the access network on the line corresponding to the candidate sub-network generation policy meets the sub-network generation condition.

In some embodiments, after the candidate sub-network generation policy is used as the first sub-network generation policy, the target core network may actively issue the first sub-network generation policy directly to the target access network so that the subscription object in the first subscription group is directly accessed or redirected to the first sub-network.

In other embodiments, the first sub-network generation policy may be issued to the access network only when certain subscription tasks are triggered (e.g., a certain region subscribes to the task); or the first sub-network is generated into a strategy issuing condition at a specific moment based on the pre-configuration; or periodically issue the first sub-network generation policy to the access network, etc., which is not limited by this disclosure.

In some embodiments, after the candidate sub-network generation policy is used as the first sub-network generation policy, the target core network may actively generate the first sub-network according to the first sub-network generation policy; the first sub-network can also be generated according to the first sub-network generation strategy when certain subscription tasks are triggered (for example, a certain region subscribes to the task); or generating the first sub-network according to the first sub-network generation strategy based on the pre-configuration; or periodically generate the first subnet in accordance with the first subnet generation policy, and so on, which is not limited by this disclosure.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, whether the network state of the line corresponding to the candidate sub-network meets the requirement can be determined through the acquired network state information, so that the finally determined network state of the first sub-network meets the requirement.

In some embodiments, the target network system may include a network orchestration module, and the plurality of subscription groups may include a second subscription group, the sub-networks including a second sub-network, the second subscription group corresponding to the second sub-network.

Referring to fig. 6, the above-described subnet generation method may include the following steps.

Step S602 is to generate a second sub-network generation policy for the second subscription group according to the communication characteristics of the subscription objects in the second subscription group.

Step S604, the second sub-network generation policy is issued to the network arrangement module, so that the network arrangement module generates the second sub-network for the second subscription group according to the second sub-network generation policy.

In some embodiments, the target core network may issue the second sub-network generation policy to the network orchestration module, so that the network orchestration module generates the second sub-network for the second subscription object configuration according to the second sub-network generation policy.

In some embodiments, the target core network may actively issue the second sub-network generation policy to the network orchestration module; or when some subscription tasks (for example, a certain region subscribes to the task) are triggered, the second sub-network generation strategy can be issued to the network arranging module; or based on the pre-configuration, the second sub-network generation strategy is issued to the network arranging module; or periodically issue the second sub-network generation policy to the network scheduling module, and so on, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In the related art, the arrangement of the network is independent of the network itself, and is deployed during the network construction, or the network is updated through an operation and maintenance system based on the network planning requirement. In the core network flow, the technical party provided by this embodiment dynamically arranges the network according to the sub-network generation strategy, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the network.

In some embodiments, the network orchestration module may configure cloud-edge computing resources for the second sub-network according to the second sub-network generation policy so that the second sub-network provides smart computing services for the signed objects in the second signed group.

In some embodiments, the target network system comprises a cloud-edge computing system, and the network orchestration module may interact with the cloud-edge computing system to allocate resources corresponding to at least one of computing, storage, and networking for the second subnetwork.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, the network arrangement system allocates calculation, storage and network resources to the second sub-network according to the sub-network generation strategy, so that the second sub-network can perform intelligent calculation, and the intelligence of the network system is improved.

In addition, the contracted object in the contracted group can directly access the corresponding sub-network in the registration phase or can be redirected to the corresponding sub-network.

For example, assuming that the target network system further includes the target access network, the plurality of subscription groups include a second subscription group, the second subscription group includes a second subscription object, and the second sub-network generation policy includes a second sub-network first access policy, the second sub-network first access policy may be issued to the target access network corresponding to the target network system, so that the target access network accesses the second subscription object to the second sub-network according to the second sub-network first access policy in response to the network access registration request of the second subscription object.

Assuming that the target network system further includes the target access network, the second subscription group includes a third subscription object, the third subscription object has accessed to the core network of the target network system, and the second sub-network generation policy includes a second sub-network second access policy, the second sub-network second access policy may be issued to the target access network corresponding to the target network system, so that the target access network redirects the third subscription object from the target core network to the second sub-network according to the second sub-network access second policy.

The above embodiments may be used in an evolved version 5G-ADVANCED network of an existing 5G network; the system and the process of the invention can also be used in a 6G network, and accord with the vision of the current industry community to 6G, intelligent endogenesis, air-space-ground-sea solid-mobile fusion access and hierarchical network control.

In some embodiments, the plurality of subscription groups may include a fourth subscription group, the fourth subscription group may include a fourth subscription object, the sub-network may include a fourth sub-network, and the fourth subscription object has accessed the fourth sub-network by the method of fig. 3, fig. 5, and the like.

Referring to fig. 7, the above-described regrouping method may include the following steps.

Step S702 determines that the fourth sub-network does not meet the service requirement of the fourth signed object.

In some embodiments, the fourth sub-network may determine, through the subnet intelligent control plane or the subnet network control plane, whether or not it can satisfy a service requirement of the fourth signed object, for example, determine whether or not it can satisfy a business requirement, a mobility requirement, and the like of the fourth signed object, and this disclosure does not limit specific contents of the service requirement.

Step S704, the fourth sub-network initiates a first regrouping request to the target core network for the fourth subscription object.

In some embodiments, when the fourth sub-network determines that the fourth sub-network cannot satisfy the service requirement of the fourth signed object by itself, for example, when the intelligent control plane of the fourth sub-network or the network control plane of the fourth sub-network determines that the intelligent control plane of the fourth sub-network cannot satisfy the service requirement of the fourth signed object by itself, a first regrouping request is initiated to the target core network to request the regrouping of the fourth signed object.

Step S706, the target core network analyzes the communication information of the fourth signed object in response to the first regrouping request, so as to divide the fourth signed object into a fifth signed group.

In some embodiments, the target core network analyzes the related information of the fourth subscription object in response to the first regrouping request, so as to regroup the fourth subscription object into the fifth subscription group.

Step S708, the fourth signed object is redirected to the fifth sub-network corresponding to the fifth signed group.

In some embodiments, the fourth subscription object may be redirected directly into the fifth sub-network if the fifth sub-network corresponding to the fifth subscription group already exists.

In some embodiments, if the fifth sub-network corresponding to the fifth subscription group does not exist, it may be further necessary to generate the fifth sub-network for the fifth subscription group, and then redirect the fourth subscription object into the fifth sub-network.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, when the requirements of the fourth sub-network and the fourth signed object are not matched, the core network is requested to regroup the fourth signed object, so that the dynamic grouping of the fourth signed object is realized, and the requirements of the fourth signed object are met in real time.

In some embodiments, the plurality of subscription groups may include a sixth subscription group that includes a plurality of sixth subscription objects that may be served, and the sub-network may include a sixth sub-network to which the plurality of sixth subscription objects have access.

Referring to fig. 8, the above-described re-grouping method may include the following steps.

Step S802 determines that the number of sixth contracted objects served by the sixth sub-network is less than the target threshold.

In some embodiments, when the number of the sixth signed objects served by the sixth sub-network is less than the target threshold, or the service requirement of the sixth signed objects served by the sixth sub-network is reduced, or other situations occur that may cause service redundancy or service incapability (i.e., incapability of providing the service requested by the user) in the sixth sub-network, for example, because of limited computing power, incapability of providing intelligent computing service to the user, or, for example, because of too many users, incapability of providing smooth communication quality to the user, etc., steps S804 to S810 may be performed.

Step S804, the sixth subnetwork sends a second regrouping request to the target core network.

In step S806, the target core network analyzes the communication information of the sixth contracted objects in response to the second regrouping request.

Step S808, regrouping the plurality of sixth contracted objects to determine at least one seventh contracted group where each sixth contracted object is located and a plurality of seventh sub-networks corresponding to the at least one seventh contracted group.

In some embodiments, each sixth subscribed object may be regrouped through the target core network, so as to determine a subscription group corresponding to each sixth subscribed object respectively.

Step S810, redirecting each sixth subscription object to the seventh sub-network corresponding to the subscription group in which the sixth subscription object is located.

In some embodiments, when a seventh sub-network corresponding to a subscription group in which a certain sixth subscription object is regrouped exists, the sixth subscription object may be directly redirected to the seventh sub-network; when the seventh sub-network corresponding to the subscription group in which a certain sixth subscription object is regrouped does not exist, the seventh sub-network corresponding to the group may be generated and then the seventh subscription object may be redirected to the corresponding seventh sub-network.

The specific generation process of the seventh sub-network may be implemented by the embodiments shown in fig. 2, fig. 5, fig. 6, or fig. 7, and this embodiment limits this step.

In some other embodiments, when a sixth subscription object fails to be re-grouped, the sixth subscription object may be redirected to the core network so as to provide services for the sixth subscription object through the core network.

According to the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, when the demands of the sixth sub-network and the sixth signed object are not matched, or when there is redundancy in the service provided by the sixth sub-network, the core network may be requested to regroup the plurality of sixth signed objects, so that dynamic grouping of the sixth signed objects is realized, and the demands of the sixth signed objects are met in real time.

The group of users is analyzed and obtained to meet the conditions (such as subscription support for using the branch network and the like) of adopting the exclusive branch network (or the subnet, the special subnet and the like, the specific name is not limited, and the scheme is not influenced); in another scenario, based on the statistical analysis result, a certain group of users is analyzed and specified, the network is basically used in a limited position, the used data throughput is high, the used service has a high requirement on the uplink or downlink rate, and the group of users all meet the condition of adopting a dedicated branch network.

8. And the cloud network arranging system is used for completing parameter configuration of each function of the branch network, parameter configuration of the access network and deployment of the branch network.

9. And the cloud network arranging system feeds back a response message of successful branch network arrangement to the connection control function.

10. And the connection control function sends the updated access strategy to the access network, or sends the strategy to the access intelligent function, and the access intelligent function sends the strategy to the related access network function.

11. The terminal establishes a connection with the access network.

12. The access network judges that the user accords with the use condition of the exclusive branch network according to the strategy, and establishes the connection of the branch network access control function for the user.

13. The terminal establishes connection with the access control function of the branch network, interacts with the related functions of the control plane of the branch network through the access control function of the branch network, completes authentication and authorization processes, establishes a session with the connection function of the user plane of the branch network, and completes the processes of network registration and connection establishment.

In the process, the terminal directly accesses the corresponding branch network according to the strategy when registering for the first time; in another implementation scenario, when a user accesses the network, the network may generate an exclusive branch network for the user or a group to which the user belongs, specifically as follows:

and 5a, the terminal establishes connection with the access network, and the access network defaults that the user establishes connection with the central network access control function.

And 5b, the terminal sends a network access registration request to the access control function.

The access control function requests the access policy of the user from the connection control function.

6. The connection control function judges that an exclusive branch network needs to be generated for the user or a group to which the user belongs (such as information fed back based on the history of the intelligent control function, subscription information of the user, a network connected with the current user, the current position of the user and the like), and requests the cloud network arrangement system to generate the exclusive branch network of the user (the flow of other processing is the same as the step 6 above), so that the terminal is redirected to the corresponding branch network;

and 6a-b, the connection control function puts back a strategy response to the access control function, and the terminal completes registration processes such as access authentication and authorization with the central network.
