Detailed Description

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the foregoing figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein may be capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

Before describing the service information determining method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario and an implementation framework related to the embodiment of the present disclosure are first described briefly.

First, an application scenario related to the present disclosure will be briefly described.

In related wired networks, there are a large number of LANs (local area network, local area networks), such as WLAN (wireless local area network ), and VLAN (virtual local area network, virtual local area network). Different UEs in the VLAN can access each other, and broadcast messages can be sent in the VLAN; and different VLANs are isolated and broadcast messages cannot be directly sent, so that mutual access between UEs is also required to be realized through a specific switch. With the development of networks, 5G networks also define the concept of 5G LANs (5G local area network,5G local area networks), which directly implement similar applications to the WLAN and VLAN traffic described above through 5G wireless technology.

In the 5G architecture application, when the service requirement exists, a data transmission channel between the user equipment UE and the data network DN is established by establishing a corresponding PDU session so as to meet the service requirement. For example, when there is a service requirement of the WLAN application and VLAN, a corresponding PDU session is established to implement the WLAN application and VLAN service.

However, in the related protocol, when the user equipment and the operator sign a plurality of service contracts, the PDU session established according to the session information in the related technology can only determine the session information according to the subscription information queried by the unified data management function UDM network element of the core network, so as to select a certain service operated by the user equipment from the plurality of service contracts, and the subscription information of the user is only visible in each network element of the core network and cannot be visible to the user, so that the service operated by the user equipment cannot be flexibly set according to the selection of the user, and the service using experience of the user equipment is greatly reduced. Therefore, how to solve the problem that the service mode of the user equipment is single and the flexibility is poor.

In view of the above problems, the present disclosure provides a method for determining service information, where a server first receives a request for accessing a service information display page, and determines page data according to one or more service information included in the request. The server then sends the page data to the user device. The user equipment displays a service information display page according to the received page data, so that the service information display page displayed by the user equipment for the user comprises one or more service information. Therefore, the user using the user equipment can select the target service information of the service which the user needs to use from one or more service information. After the user determines the target service information, the user equipment sends the target service information to the server, and the server sends a session establishment instruction to the user equipment according to the received target service information so as to trigger the user equipment to establish a PDU session based on the target service information.

By the communication interaction mode between the server and the user equipment, the PDU session can be established based on the target service information, so that the user equipment can establish the PDU session according to the service requirement of the user. Therefore, the method can flexibly configure the service of the user equipment according to the diversified service requirements of the user, thereby improving the diversity and flexibility of the service configuration method of the user equipment and further greatly improving the service use experience of the user on the user equipment.

Next, an implementation architecture to which the present disclosure relates is briefly described below.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th generation mobile communica tion technology,5G) network architecture provided by the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the 5G network architecture includes an authentication server function (authentication server function, AUSF) network element; an access and mobility management function (access and mobility management function, AMF) network element; a network slice selection function (network slice selection function, NSSF) network element; -a network opening function (network exposure function, NEF) network element; a control policy function (policy control function, PCF) network element; a session management function (sessionmanagement function, SMF) network element; a unified data management (unified data management, UDM) network element; a user plane function (user pl ane function, UPF) network element; -an application function (application function, AF) network element; -a network response function (network repository function, NRF) network element; a User Equipment (UE); (radio) access network (R) AN); a Data Network (DN) and a Service Communication Proxy (SCP).

The AUSF network element is responsible for carrying out user authentication and authentication on the user; the UDM network element is used for storing user subscription data; the DN may be an operator service, internet access or a third party service.

The User Equipment (UE) establishes communication with the AMF network element through an N1 interface; (R) the AN establishes communication with the AMF network element through AN N2 interface; (R) the AN establishing communication with the UPF network element over the N3 interface; the UPF network element establishes communication with the SMF network element through an N4 interface; the UPF network element establishes communication with the data network DN through an N6 interface.

It should be noted that the interface names between the network elements in fig. 1 are only an example, and the interface names may be other names in the specific implementation, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The device of the (R) AN in the 5G network may also be referred to as AN access device, where the access device refers to a device accessing the core network, and may be, for example, a base station, a broadband network service gateway (broadband network gateway, BNG), a convergence switch, a non-3 GPP access device, or the like. The base station may include various forms of base stations, such as: macro base stations, micro base stations (also referred to as small stations), relay stations, access points, etc., as embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited.

As an implementation manner, in the PDU session establishment process, subscription information of the user is transmitted to the SMF network element and the AMF network element by the UDM network element. The UPF network element receives preset redirection information issued by the UDM network element, and inserts subscription information into header information of a network protocol between the user equipment and the server.

Illustratively, a 5G VN group (virtual network group) contains a group of UEs that can implement 5G LAN type traffic through private communications, and DNN (data network name ) is 1 with the 5G VN group: 1. The UE's 5G VN group parameters may be configured in the UE's subscription data and transmitted by the UDM to the AMF and SMF along with other subscription information. During session establishment, the UE provides DNN and S-nsai (single network slice selection assistanceinformation, single network slice information) associated with the 5G VN group, enabling the session to access 5G LAN type services of the 5G VN.

As another embodiment, during the PDU session establishment procedure, control policy information for implementing the service function is transmitted to the SMF network element and the AMF network element by the PCF network element. The UPF network element receives preset redirection information issued by the PCF network element, and inserts control strategy information into the header information of the network protocol between the user equipment and the server.

The service information determining method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to each network element in the implementation architecture shown in fig. 1. For easy understanding, the service information determining method provided in the present disclosure is specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a service information determining method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the service information determining method may be used in each network element in the above-mentioned 5G network architecture, and includes the following steps.

In step S201, the server receives a request for accessing a service information presentation page.

The request for accessing the service information display page comprises header information of a protocol, wherein the protocol is a network protocol between the server and the user equipment, and the header information comprises one or more service information associated with the user equipment. For example, for multiple VN group selections, each VN group corresponds to a set of VN group information, so the header information may include multiple sets of VN group data, where each set of VN group data includes a VN group ID and corresponding DNN and S-nsai, etc. It should be noted that, the request for accessing the service information display page received by the server is sent by a network element (e.g., a UPF network element) in the network side.

In some embodiments, the above protocol may be a network protocol whose header information has an insertion function. Such as the HTTP protocol (hyper text transfer protocol ). Further, based on this embodiment, one or more kinds of service information may be inserted into header information of the HTTP protocol, so as to implement transmission of the one or more kinds of service information.

It should be noted that, VN group information corresponding to a plurality of VN group IDs (identity document, identification numbers) is preconfigured in the UE, and then in the process of inserting one or more service information into the HTTP header information, the VN group ID may also be inserted, so as to determine the VN group to which the interactive user equipment belongs.

Optionally, the service information is included in the protocol header information by inserting one or more service information into the header information of the protocol by the UPF network element.

In some embodiments, the service information may unify subscription information of the user equipment and the operator stored in the UDM network element. For example, its subscription information may be information of a signed QoS (quality of service ) level network communication package of the user equipment with the operator, or a signed 5G network group type of the user equipment with the operator, such as a 5G VN group. Or, the service information may also include control policy information stored by the PCF network element for implementing the service function of the ue, for example, the control policy information may include policies or charging rules corresponding to different service functions, for example, a traffic charging rule or a call charging rule under a certain service. Alternatively, the service information may further include a combination of the subscription information and the control policy information, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. Therefore, according to the embodiment, the diversified service information provided by the application provides more comprehensive service information for the use of the service information in the subsequent steps.

It should be noted that, for different service scenarios, the service information acquisition modes are also different, so as to enrich sources of service information, and ensure that the acquired service information more accords with the service scenario.

Optionally, the unified data management function UDM network element stores subscription information of the user equipment and the operator. On the basis, in the process of registering to the UDM network element, the SMF network element acquires the subscription information signed by the user from the UDM network element, wherein the subscription information can be the information of a new service signed by or subscribed by the user, can be the information of an old service signed by the user, and can also be the information combination of the old service signed by the user and the new service, and the embodiment of the application is not particularly limited to the information combination.

Optionally, the PCF network element stores control policy information for implementing service functions of the ue. On the basis, in the process of registering to the PCF network element, the SMF network element acquires the control policy information signed by the user from the PCF network element, where the control policy information may be policy information for implementing a function of a new service subscribed by the user, may also be policy information for implementing a function of an old service subscribed by the user, or may be policy information combination for implementing a function of an old service subscribed by the user and a new service, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Based on the two service scenarios, the request for accessing the service information presentation page may include the service information, i.e. the control policy information and/or the subscription information, obtained by the session management function SMF network element.

In step S202, the server returns page data to the user equipment according to one or more service information.

In this step, page data is returned according to one or more kinds of service information, and it is understood that the page data includes one or more kinds of service information.

In step S203, the user equipment receives page data sent by the server in response to the request for accessing the service information presentation page.

In combination with the step S202 and the step S203, since the page data includes one or more service information, when the user equipment displays the service information display page according to the page data, the service information display page can include at least one service information.

Step S204, the user equipment displays the service information display page according to the page data.

In step S205, the user equipment transmits the target service information to the server in response to an operation of selecting the target service information from at least one service information by the user.

As an implementation mode, the user equipment firstly displays the service information to be displayed on a service information display page; and determining target service information from the service information to be displayed according to a user input selection instruction of the user equipment.

In this embodiment, the user device first displays the service information to be displayed on the service information display page. And the user using the electronic equipment selects the service information required by the user from the displayed service information to be displayed, and the user equipment responds to the user input selection instruction to determine the service information required by the user selected by the user as target service information. The user equipment and the user interact to determine the target service information, so that the determined target service information is ensured to be more in line with the service requirement of the user, and the user experience is improved.

In step S206, the server receives the target service information sent by the user equipment.

The target service information is service information selected by a user at the user equipment side based on the service information display page.

In step S207, the server sends a session establishment instruction to the user equipment.

The session establishment instruction is used for triggering the user equipment to establish the PDU session based on the target service information.

It should be noted that, the session establishment instruction is to send a session establishment instruction to the user equipment, and not initiate session establishment, that is, the session establishment instruction sent to the user equipment is used to instruct the user equipment to establish a session according to the target service information.

In step S208, when the user equipment receives the session establishment instruction sent by the server, the PDU session is established based on the target service information.

It should be noted that, the PDU session is established based on the target service information, and it can be understood that the user equipment initiates the PDU session flow based on the target service information.

It should be noted that, the establishment of the PDU session procedure may refer to a PDU session establishment procedure in the related art, where at least the user equipment and each functional network element of the network layer are required to interact. This application is not repeated.

In the above embodiment, the server first receives a request for accessing the service information display page, and determines page data according to one or more service information included in the request. The server then sends the page data to the user device. The user equipment displays a service information display page according to the received page data, so that the service information display page displayed by the user equipment for the user comprises one or more service information. Therefore, the user using the user equipment can select the target service information of the service which the user needs to use from one or more service information. After the user determines the target service information, the user equipment sends the target service information to the server, and the server sends a session establishment instruction to the user equipment according to the received target service information so as to trigger the user equipment to establish a PDU session based on the target service information.

Through the communication interaction mode between the server and the user equipment, the PDU session establishment mode based on the target service information is realized, so that the user equipment can establish the PDU session according to the service requirement of the user. Therefore, the mode can flexibly configure the service of the user equipment according to the diversified service demands of the user, thereby improving the diversity and flexibility of the service configuration mode of the user equipment and greatly improving the service using experience of the user to the user equipment.

Alternatively, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining service information according to an exemplary embodiment. The request of the service information presentation page received by the server in step S201 may be implemented by the steps shown in fig. 3.

Step S31, the user equipment sends an operation request sent based on the protocol to the UPF network element.

The operation request sent based on the protocol is used for triggering the UPF network element to send a request for accessing the service information display page to the server, so that the page to be accessed by the user equipment is redirected to the service information display page.

Step S32, the UPF network element determines the request of the service information display page according to the operation request sent based on the protocol and the preset redirection information.

The preset redirection information is used for pointing to a service information display page.

Step S33, the UPF network element sends a request of a service information display page to the server.

In the above manner of determining the request of the service information display page, the request of the service information display page is sent by the user plane function UPF network element when receiving the operation request sent by the user equipment based on the protocol, that is, the time and the application scenario for sending the request are determined. Further, the service information display page is requested by the UPF network element according to the operation request sent based on the protocol and preset redirection information, so that when the user starts the service associated protocol to perform service, the user display page is redirected to the service information display page, and service information related to the service is displayed by the user.

As an implementation manner, the preset redirection information may include the following information: the preset redirection information comprises a redirection link, and the redirection link is predefined in the UPF network element; alternatively, the redirection link is configured by the UDM network element and/or the PCF network element and issued by the session management function SMF to the UPF network element. In particular, the preset redirection information comprises a preset link predefined at the UPF network element. Or, the preset redirection information comprises that the session management function SMF network element is a UDM network element. The preset redirection information comprises a link configured by the PCF network element to the UPF network element by the session management function SMF network element. Or the preset redirection information comprises a link configured by the session management function SMF network element to issue the link configured by the UDM network element and the PCF network element to the UPF network element. The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited as to the specific content composition form of the preset redirection information.

In one embodiment, the preset link may be a redirected link. Optionally, at least one service information in the page data related in the step S202 is determined in combination with different application scenarios. The following describes the determination process of the page data in detail with reference to the following first and second embodiments, taking the detection result of the identification of the service information as an example.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of internal functions of a server, as shown in fig. 4, the server has four functions: the device comprises an identification and identification function, a preset configuration function, an information display function and a message filling function.

First, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a service information determining method according to an exemplary embodiment, and in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 5, the above step S202 may be implemented by the following steps S202-1 and S202-2.

In step S202-1, the server determines, in the case where the service information in the header information has the identifier, the service information having the target identifier in one or more service information as the service information to be displayed.

In one embodiment, the server uses an identification recognition function to recognize the identification of the service information in the header information to determine whether there is service information of the target identification.

In a specific implementation, the type of the service information in the above embodiment may be combined to identify the service information that may be displayed to the user in the service information. For example, different types of service information can be identified directly by adopting different identifiers, or the identifiers can be arranged in a table, and then the identifiers in the table are associated with the service information in a one-to-one correspondence. If the A-type service information is marked by '01', the B-type service information is marked by '10'; the C-type service information is identified by 11, wherein the identifications 01, 10 and 11 can be directly arranged at a certain preset position in the service information or in a certain preset table for storing identifiers. Therefore, the specific identification manner is not specifically limited in this application.

As an example, the unified data management function UDM network element identifies subscription information that can be displayed to the user from among the subscription information, and the server determines the subscription information with the target identification as service information to be displayed.

As an example, the PCF network element of the control policy function identifies control policy information that can be presented to the user in the control policy information, and the server determines the control policy information with the target identification as service information to be presented.

Step S202-2, the server returns page data to the user equipment according to the service information to be displayed.

In some embodiments, the server matches the service information with the target identifier (i.e., the service information to be displayed) with a preset display template through a preset configuration function, so as to determine that the service information with the target identifier is to be displayed at a first preset position of the service information display page. And the server fills the identified business information in a first preset position of the business information display page through a message filling function, so as to determine the display form of the business information to be displayed in the process of accessing the business information display page. And finally, the server displays the service information with the target identifier in the determined display form through the information display function. The first preset position may be set according to a specific display requirement, which is not specifically limited in this application.

According to the first embodiment, the service information to be displayed in the page data is determined for the application scene in which the server can detect that the service information has the target identifier.

In the second embodiment, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a service information determining method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 6, the above step S202 may be further implemented by the following steps S202-a and S202-B. The step S202-B is identical to the step S202-2, so the description of the step S202-B is referred to the step S202-2, and will not be repeated.

In step S202-a, in the case that the service information in the header information does not have the identifier, the server determines, according to the preset display rule, the service information to be displayed from one or more service information.

The preset display rules are used for determining the display mode and the display content of one or more service information by the server.

In one embodiment, the service information is configured in a preset configuration template, where the preset configuration template includes a location where each service information is displayed. And determining the service information of the second preset position in the preset configuration template as the service information to be displayed according to the preset display rule, and simultaneously displaying the determined service information to be displayed at the third preset position of the service information display page. The second preset position and the third preset position may be set according to specific display requirements, which is not specifically limited in this application.

In detail, the server matches the service information with a preset configuration template through a preset configuration function, so as to determine the service information of a second preset position in the preset configuration template as the service information to be displayed. And the server fills the business information of the second preset position in a third preset position of the business information display page through a message filling function, so that the display form of the business information of the second preset position in the business information display page is determined. And finally, the server displays the service information of the second preset position in the determined display form through the information display function.

Further, the case where the service information in the header information does not have an identifier is classified into two types: first, all traffic information sets are not identified. For example, the unified data management function UDM network element does not identify subscription information among the subscription information that can be presented to the user. As another example, the control policy function PCF network element does not identify control policy information that may be presented to the user in the control policy information. Second, part of the service information is not identified, and the target identification is not included in the identification. For example, the unified data management function UDM network element does not target the subscription information that can be presented to the user among the subscription information. As another example, the PCF network element does not perform the target identification on the control policy information that may be displayed to the user in the control policy information.

It should be noted that, for the information with the same attribute, the display priority of the information in the header information is higher than the display priority of the information in the preset configuration template of the server. Illustratively, the VN group data information in the header information is as follows: one VN group name is office (which may be displayed), the corresponding VN group ID is VN group 1, the corresponding DNN is 5Gnet, and the corresponding S-NSSAI is 1. The other VN group name is entertainment (which may be displayed), the corresponding VN group ID is VN group 2, the corresponding DNN is 5Gnet, and the corresponding S-NSSAI is 2. The preset configuration template of the server is as follows: VN group name: XX (format: chinese character, attribute: displayable), VN group ID: XX (format: character string, attribute: displayable), DNN: XX (format: character string, attribute: not displayable), S-NSSAI: XX (format: character string, attribute: not displayable). If the attribute of the VN group ID in the header information is not displayed, the attribute (i.e. display) of the VN group ID in the server is inconsistent with the attribute of the header information, and if the information display priority in the header information is higher, the VN group ID is not displayed to the user, and if the information finally displayed to the user is as follows: VN group name: office work; VN group name: entertainment.

At the same time, the user-selected "VN group name: office "is used by the server to return the user selection" office "to the UE via a header message. For example, a new PDU session establishment message is initiated by adopting DNN, S-NSSAI, VN group ID and the like corresponding to office, so that subsequent communication is completed, and the previous PDU session is released.

Step S202-B, the server returns page data to the user equipment according to the service information to be displayed.

Through the second embodiment, the service information to be displayed in the page data is determined for the application scenario in which the server can not detect that the service information has the target identifier.

Based on the two embodiments, the server can give different determination modes for determining the target service information according to different detection results, so that the flexibility of the mode for acquiring the target service information is ensured.

As a specific implementation manner, taking the protocol as an HTTP protocol and the preset redirection information as an example, the service information determining manner of the present application is implemented in combination with the PDU establishment procedure in the related art. The following detailed description is made of the implementation process as shown in fig. 7 in conjunction with fig. 1. In the implementation process, interaction is performed between the UE, the Server and each network element at the network side. The network elements on the network side in fig. 1 may also be referred to as entities, such as AMF network elements are also referred to as AMF entities.

Step 1, user equipment UE initiates a PDU session.

Wherein the session request is typically established using a default DNN (data network name, user network name) during session initiation.

Step 2, the AMF entity selects the SMF entity.

As an embodiment, in the process of performing SMF entity selection by the AMF entity, the AMF entity may select an appropriate SMF entity according to the network slice information. Specifically, in the course of the AMF entity performing the SMF entity selection, the AMF entity may interact with the NSSF entity to obtain network slice information, and select an appropriate SMF entity through the NRF entity.

Step 3, the AMF entity creates an SM context request.

Where SM (Session Management ) context request.

And 4, the SMF entity registers and acquires subscription information to the UDM entity.

Step 5, the UDM entity checks whether the subscription information is allowed to be displayed.

And 6, the UDM entity returns the subscription information and identifies the subscription information allowed to be displayed.

Step 7, the smf entity creates an SM context response.

Wherein the create SM context response is returned to the AMF entity.

It should be noted that, through the above steps 3 to 7, a context request for session management is created to bring the acquired subscription information to the AMF entity.

And 8, establishing PDU session authentication.

It should be noted that, the step 8 is not a single step, and includes each step in the PDU session authentication procedure in the related art, and the authentication procedure is not repeated in this application.

And 9, selecting the PCF entity and acquiring control strategy information in the PCF entity.

The implementation process of step 9 is the same as the process of selecting SMF, acquiring subscription information, and identifying subscription information in steps 2 to 7. Specifically, in step 91, the amf entity selects an SMF entity; the amf entity creates an SM context request, step 92. Step 93, the smf entity registers and acquires control policy information to the PCF entity; step 94, the pcf entity checks whether the revealed control policy information is allowed; step 95, the PCF entity returns subscription information and identifies control strategy information allowed to be displayed; in step 96, the smf entity creates an SM context response. A session management context request is created through the above steps 91 to 96 to bring the acquired control policy information to the AMF entity.

Step 10, the smf entity selects a UPF entity.

The upf entity determines a redirect link and inserts subscription information or control policy information, step 11.

The redirection link is used for determining a service information display page of the server.

As an embodiment, the UPF entity issues the redirect link and inserts subscription information or control policy information into header information of the HTTP protocol.

Step 12, the subsequent PDU session establishes a standard procedure.

It should be noted that, the step 12 is not a single step, and includes each step in the standard procedure for establishing the subsequent PDU session in the related art, and the description of the standard procedure for establishing the subsequent PDU session is omitted.

And 13, when the UE performs HTTP service, the Server redirects the display page of the user equipment to a service information display page.

As an implementation manner, when the UE performs HTTP service, the UPF entity issues the determined redirection link to the Server, and the Server redirects the display page of the user equipment to the service information display page.

Step 14, the server determines subscription information or control policy information presented to the user.

And step 15, notifying the UE to select target service information from the displayed subscription information or control strategy information.

This step involves the interaction of the user equipment UE and the server to determine the target traffic information. In particular, the method comprises the steps of,

in step 16, the ue identifies the target service information selected by the user.

And step 17, initiating a new PDU session establishment procedure according to the target service information.

It should be noted that, the step 17 is not a single step, and includes each step in the PDU session establishment standard procedure in the related art, and the description of the new PDU session establishment standard procedure is omitted. And when the UE initiates a new PDU session establishment procedure, the PDU session before step 1 is released.

By the aid of the communication interaction mode among the server, each network element of the network side and the user equipment, session information of the PDU session is established based on target service information selected by the user, so that the user equipment can flexibly configure services of the user equipment according to diversified service requirements of the user, diversity and flexibility of service configuration modes of the user equipment are improved, and service using experience of the user to the user equipment is greatly improved.
