As shown in fig. 1b, a schematic structural diagram of an indoor wireless access management entity 300, an indoor wireless access management entity 300 provided in this embodiment of the present application includes a processor 310, a memory 320, a communication interface 330, and one or more programs 321, where the one or more programs 321 are stored in the memory 320 and configured to be executed by the processor 310, and the program 321 includes instructions for executing a method performed by an indoor enhanced access device in this embodiment of the present application.

Starting from a third generation 3G mobile communication system, an indoor Home base station (Home NodeB) is introduced to enhance indoor signal coverage, and a fourth generation 4G mobile communication system is further enhanced to be a Home eNodeB, because a frequency band adopted by 5G is higher, a penetration loss is higher, and an indoor coverage effect is worse under the same condition, currently, 5G is also researching an indoor enhancement scheme, and one of the schemes is to use a deployed broadband to connect a small base station or AP deployed indoors to enhance indoor coverage. The small cell or the AP may have a complete base station function, or may have only a partial base station function, and may be connected to a 3GPP core network, or may inherit a partial core network function. When the small cell or AP is only used for data offloading and is not connected to the 3GPP core network, the cooperation and management of multiple small cells or APs is a problem.

At present, the problem of mobility management to a certain extent can be overcome by using a Mesh networking mode of a wireless Mesh network, each Wi-Fi AP of the Mesh networking ensures that a user can access the Wi-Fi AP in each Mesh group through a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and a password, and the user is instructed to reconnect to a more proper Wi-Fi AP when needed through link measurement collection between UE and the AP and client adjustment instruction.

The existing Wi-Fi Mesh networking has the defects that access control is performed by adopting an SSID plus password mode, no authorized user management scheme adopted by 3GPP (third generation partnership project) is available, such as closed subscriber group CSG (closed subscriber group), closed access group CAG (computer access group), and the like, and the configuration related to an indoor small base station or AP (access point) and a Wi-Fi AP (wireless fidelity access point) has great difference and cannot be directly multiplexed.

In view of the foregoing problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an authorization information updating method, which is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an authorization information updating method according to an embodiment of the present application, applied to the mobile communication system 10 shown in fig. 1a, including the following steps:

in step 201, an indoor wireless access management entity receives an authorization information change message from a first indoor enhanced access device, where the authorization information change message is used to indicate addition and/or deletion of members of an authorized user group in a network topology of the indoor wireless access management entity.

The network topology indoor refers to a service cell provided by indoor enhanced access equipment managed by the indoor wireless access management entity.

Wherein the indoor enhanced access device comprises a mobile communication access network device; the device type of the mobile communication access network device comprises any one of the following types: a home access point AP, a commercial AP and a home base station. The indoor service scene suitable for the indoor enhanced access device may specifically include common scenes such as a home and an office.

Step 202, the indoor wireless access management entity updates member information of an authorized user group stored in a local terminal according to the authorization information change message, and sends the authorization information change message to other indoor enhanced access devices except the first indoor enhanced access device in the network topology.

And the authorization information change message is used for indicating the other indoor enhanced access equipment to update the member information of the authorized user group stored in the local terminal according to the authorization information change message.

For example, it is assumed that the indoor enhanced access device managed by the indoor wireless access management entity includes an indoor enhanced access device 1, an indoor enhanced access device 2, and an indoor enhanced access device 3, the indoor enhanced access device 1 sends an authorization information change message to the indoor wireless access management entity, the indoor wireless access management entity receives the authorization information change message, updates member information of an authorized user group stored at its own terminal, and sends the authorization information change message to the indoor enhanced access device 2 and the indoor enhanced access device 3, respectively, the indoor enhanced access device 2 receives the authorization information change message, updates member information of the authorized user group stored at its own terminal, and similarly, the indoor enhanced access device 3 receives the authorization information change message, and updates member information of the authorized user group stored at its own terminal.

In one possible example, the authorization information change message is used to indicate that a first user is newly added among members of an authorized user group within the network topology; the method further comprises the following steps: the indoor wireless access management entity sends the set of cells of the network topology to a first user equipment of the first user.

In this possible example, the transmission mode of the cell set of the network topology includes an over-the-air technology OTA.

The cell set of the network topology refers to a set of serving cells provided by the indoor enhanced access device managed by the indoor wireless access management entity.

As can be seen, in this example, after the indoor wireless access management entity detects a newly added authorized user, the indoor wireless access management entity may issue the cell set of the current network topology to the user equipment of the newly added authorized member.

In one possible example, the authorization information change message is used to indicate deletion of a second user of the members of the authorized user group within the network topology; the authorization information change message is used for indicating the target indoor enhanced access equipment which completes the authorization information update to execute the following operations: receiving an access request from a second user equipment of the second user; and authenticating that the access request does not pass, and sending an access rejection response to the second user equipment, wherein the access rejection response is used for indicating the second user equipment to delete the cell set of the network topology.

It can be seen that, in this example, after the target indoor enhanced access device deletes the second user from the authorized user group, the second user device is rejected when requesting access again, so that the second user device can synchronously delete the cell set of the network topology according to the access rejection response, thereby implementing synchronous update of authorized cell information.

In one possible example, before the indoor wireless access management entity receives the authorization information change message from the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further includes: the indoor wireless access management entity receives equipment related information reported by first indoor enhanced access equipment; the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device.

In this possible example, the device-related information reported by the first indoor enhanced access device includes at least one of the following:

a fully qualified domain name FQDN or an Internet protocol IP address of the first indoor enhanced access device;

the maximum number of users supported by the first indoor enhanced access device; and

and the first indoor enhanced access device supports unlicensed frequency band information.

In a specific implementation, when a new indoor enhanced access device accesses, a discovery and registration process of the indoor enhanced access device to an indoor wireless access management entity is triggered.

In one possible example, after the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further comprises: the indoor wireless access management entity configures a dedicated first identity identifier for the first indoor enhanced access device, wherein the first identity identifier comprises a network identity Identifier (ID) and a cell ID.

In this possible example, the first identity further comprises group identification information of the network topology.

The group identification information may be identification information of an indoor wireless access management entity, and the like.

It can be seen that in this example, the system supports configuring the network ID and the cell ID for the first indoor enhanced access device.

In one possible example, after the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further comprises: and the indoor wireless access management entity configures a working mode unified with other indoor enhanced access equipment for the first indoor enhanced access equipment.

In this possible example, the operation mode includes any one of: open mode, closed mode, or hybrid mode.

In one possible example, after the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further comprises: the indoor wireless access management entity configures a member set of authorized user groups within the network topology for the first indoor enhanced access device.

It can be seen that in this example, the system supports setting the operating mode of the newly joined indoor enhanced access device with reference to other indoor enhanced access devices, and configuring the member set of authorized user groups within the network topology.

In this possible example, the member information in the member set of the authorized user group includes at least one of: the international mobile equipment identity IMEI, the subscriber permanent identity SUPI, the MAC address and the host name.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, an indoor wireless access management entity first receives an authorization information change message from a first indoor enhanced access device, where the authorization information change message is used to indicate addition and/or deletion of members of an authorized user group in a network topology of the indoor wireless access management entity, and then, the indoor wireless access management entity updates member information of the authorized user group stored at its own terminal according to the authorization information change message, and sends an authorization information change message to other indoor enhanced access devices except the first indoor enhanced access device in the network topology, where the authorization information change message is used to indicate other indoor enhanced access devices to update member information of the authorized user group stored at its own terminal according to the authorization information change message. As can be seen, the indoor wireless access management entity, as an access network device, can interact with the indoor enhanced access device to synchronously update the member information of the authorized user group in the current network topology.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an authorization information updating method according to an embodiment of the present application, applied to the mobile communication system 10 shown in fig. 1a, including the following steps:

step 301, an indoor wireless access management entity obtains an authorization information change message, where the authorization information change message is used to indicate addition and/or deletion of members of an authorized user group in a network topology of the indoor wireless access management entity.

And step 302, the indoor wireless access management entity updates the member information of the authorized user group stored in the local terminal according to the authorization information change message.

Step 303, the indoor wireless access management entity sends the authorization information change message to the indoor enhanced access device in the network topology.

And the authorization information change message is used for indicating the indoor enhanced access equipment to update the member information of the authorized user group stored in the local terminal according to the authorization information change message.

In one possible example, the authorization information change message is used to indicate that a first user is newly added among members of an authorized user group within the network topology; the method further comprises the following steps:

the indoor wireless access management entity sends the set of cells of the network topology to a first user equipment of the first user.

As can be seen, in this example, after the indoor wireless access management entity detects a newly added authorized user, the indoor wireless access management entity may issue the cell set of the current network topology to the user equipment of the newly added authorized member. In one possible example, the authorization information change message is used to indicate deletion of a second user of the members of the authorized user group within the network topology; the authorization information change message is used for indicating the target indoor enhanced access equipment which completes the authorization information update to execute the following operations: receiving an access request from a second user equipment of the second user; and authenticating that the access request does not pass, and sending an access rejection response to the second user equipment, wherein the access rejection response is used for indicating the second user equipment to delete the cell set of the network topology.

In one possible example, before the indoor wireless access management entity receives the authorization information change message from the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further includes:

the indoor wireless access management entity receives equipment related information reported by first indoor enhanced access equipment;

the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device.

In one possible example, after the indoor wireless access management entity stores the device-related information of the first indoor enhanced access device, the method further comprises:

the indoor wireless access management entity configures a dedicated first identity identifier for the first indoor enhanced access device, wherein the first identity identifier comprises a network identity Identifier (ID) and a cell ID.

and the indoor wireless access management entity configures a working mode unified with other indoor enhanced access equipment for the first indoor enhanced access equipment.

In this possible example, the member information in the member set of the authorized user group includes at least one of:

the international mobile equipment identity IMEI, the subscriber permanent identity SUPI, the MAC address and the host name.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, an indoor wireless access management entity first obtains an authorization information change message, where the authorization information change message is used to indicate addition and/or deletion of members of an authorized user group in a network topology of the indoor wireless access management entity; secondly, the indoor wireless access management entity updates member information of the authorized user group stored in the local terminal according to the authorization information change message; and finally, the indoor wireless access management entity sends an authorization information change message to the indoor enhanced access equipment in the network topology. Therefore, the indoor wireless access management entity serving as the access network equipment can directly acquire the authorization information change message, update the authorization user information of the local terminal, and send the authorization user information to the indoor enhanced access equipment in the network topology for information update, so that the authorization user information in the network topology is updated.
