The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The processing method of fig. 2 may be performed by a terminal. As shown in fig. 2, the processing method may include the steps of:

step 201, a terminal acquires first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to determine the terminal to use the minimumservice interruption MINT function.

In this embodiment, the terminal may use a Disaster Roaming Service (Disaster Roaming Service) through a minimum of Service Interruption (MINT) function. Thus, the use of the MINT function by a terminal can be understood as: the use of the disaster roaming service by the terminal, i.e. the first configuration information may be used to determine (determine or judge) how the terminal uses the disaster roaming service.

In implementation, the manner of the terminal acquiring the first configuration information may be any one of the following: reading and acquiring from a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) installed on a terminal; reading and acquiring from Mobile Equipment (ME) of a terminal; reading and acquiring from a protocol; the acquisition is received from a network side device.

Step 202, the terminal executes a first operation corresponding to the first configuration information.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may perform a first operation related to the disaster roaming service according to the first configuration information, that is, behavior of the terminal with the disaster roaming service may be determined based on the first configuration information. As can be seen, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may be controlled or configured to process the MINT function through the first configuration information, and the terminal may be controlled to use the disaster roaming service.

According to the processing method, a terminal acquires first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining the use of an MINT function by the terminal; and the terminal executes a first operation corresponding to the first configuration information. It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, the behavior of the terminal is determined based on the first configuration information, so that a large number of terminals in a network where DC occurs can be avoided from simultaneously attempting to access another network, and thus the resource shortage of the network can be alleviated.

The first configuration information in the embodiment of the present application is explained below.

Optionally, the first configuration information may be used to determine at least one of:

1) Whether the terminal is prevented (pre) from using the MINT functionality;

2) Whether the terminal is prevented from attempting (attempt to) to use the MINT function;

3) A usage behavior of the terminal for the MINT function.

For 1), the following implementations may be included:

in a first implementation manner, the first configuration information is used to configure and prevent the terminal from using the MINT function, that is, the first configuration information prevents the terminal from using the disaster roaming service.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the first configuration information may be obtained from a Network side device, that is, the Network may prevent the terminal from using a disaster roaming service (Network use configuration information) by using the configuration information.

In this implementation, the terminal cannot use the disaster roaming service, so that the network resource tension can be relieved.

In a second implementation manner, the first configuration information is used for configuring the terminal not to be prevented from using the MINT function. In this case, the terminal may use part or all of the disaster roaming service, that is, the terminal may use the disaster roaming service without limitation or with limitation, which may be determined according to the actual situation, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For 2), the following implementations may be included:

in a first implementation, the first configuration information is used to configure the prevention terminal to attempt to use the MINT function, i.e. the first configuration information prevents the terminal from attempting to use the disaster roaming service.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the first configuration information may be obtained from a Network side device, that is, the Network may prevent the terminal from attempting to use a disaster roaming service (Network use configuration information) by using the configuration information.

In this implementation, the terminal cannot attempt to use the disaster roaming service, and thus cannot use the disaster roaming service, so that the network resource shortage can be alleviated.

In a second implementation manner, the first configuration information is used for configuring the terminal not to be prevented from attempting to use the MINT function.

In this implementation, although the terminal may attempt to use the MINT function, whether the terminal may ultimately use the MINT function may be further constrained by other conditions. That is, even if the terminal allows an attempt to use the MINT function, the terminal may or may not be able to use the MINT function. Such as: if the terminal requests the network side equipment to attempt to use the MINT function, if the network side equipment receives the request, the terminal can use the MINT function; if the network side equipment refuses the request, the terminal can not use the MINT function.

In addition, under the condition that the terminal can use the MINT function, the terminal may use part or all of the disaster roaming service, that is, the use of the disaster roaming service by the terminal may be unlimited or limited, which may be determined according to the actual situation, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For 3), the usage behavior of the terminal on the MINT function can be characterized by the usage behavior of the terminal on a first message, where the first message is a message carrying information related to the MINT function. In the embodiment of the present application, the information related to the MINT function may also be referred to as MINT information (MINT information) or disaster roaming related information, but is not limited thereto.

Optionally, the usage behavior comprises at least one of:

receiving (receive) a first message;

accepting (accept) the first message;

processing (process) the first message;

ignoring (ignore) the first message;

providing an upper layer (upper layer) and/or a user (user) of the terminal with at least one of: information related to the MINT function carried in a first message; the terminal can use the MINT function; the terminal cannot use the MINT function;

wherein the first message carries information related to the MINT function. In practical applications, the first message may be any message carrying information related to the MINT function.

In a specific implementation, ignoring the first message may specifically be represented by any one of: forgoing receiving the first message; after receiving the first message, discarding the first message, which may be determined according to actual conditions, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The manner of providing (provider) information to the upper layer and/or the user of the terminal may include at least one of: display (display); notification (info or notify); sending (forward or send); indication (indicator); the present disclosure may be determined according to actual situations, and is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment of the application, optionally, the first message may satisfy at least one of the following:

b) Associated with at least part of the network.

That is, the usage behavior may include, but is not limited to, at least one of:

receiving a first message received from at least a portion of a network;

accepting a first message received from at least a portion of a network;

processing a first message received from at least a portion of a network;

receiving a first message associated with at least a portion of a network;

accepting a first message relating to at least part of a network;

processing a first message associated with at least a portion of a network;

ignoring a first message associated with at least a portion of a network;

providing information related to the MINT function carried in a first message related to at least a part of a network to an upper layer of the terminal and/or a user.

In practical applications, the first message sent by one network may be related to itself, or may be related to other networks, which may be determined specifically according to practical situations, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Such as: in one implementation, the first message sent by network 1 may be associated with network 1; in another implementation, the first message sent by network 1 may be associated with network 2; in yet another implementation, the first message sent by network 1 may be related to network 1 and network 2.

In a specific implementation, the receiving from at least part of the network in a) may specifically be as follows: from a portion of the network, or from the entire network (i.e., all of the networks). b) May be embodied as: associated with a portion of the network, or, associated with the entire network.

Optionally, the at least part of the network may comprise at least one of:

disaster to (applicable to) networks;

a network capable of providing disaster roaming services;

the home network or non-home network of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network to which the disaster situation applies may be understood as: a network in which a disaster occurs, the network failing to provide normal services to terminals in the network due to the disaster. For a network that can provide disaster roaming service, it can provide normal service for a terminal in the network in which a disaster occurs.

In particular implementations, the network may include at least one of: public Land Mobile Network (PLMN); independent Non-Public networks (SNPN). The home network may include at least one of: a local Home network (Home PLMN); peer-to-peer Home network (EHPLMN). The non-home network may include at least one of: visited public land mobile networks (Visited PLMN, VPLMN); a User Controlled public land mobile network (User Controlled PLMN, UPLMN); operator Controlled PLMN (Operator Controlled PLMN, OPLMN); a designated network, etc.

In practical applications, at least part of the network in a) and at least part of the network in b) may be the same or different, and may be determined according to practical situations, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Such as: the usage behavior comprises: receiving a first message received from a network a, the network a being a network capable of providing disaster roaming service; the first message associated with network b, which is a network for which the disaster situation applies, is rejected.

In this embodiment of the application, the information related to the MINT function carried in the first message may be: some or all of the information related to MINT function. The information related to the MINT function may include at least one of: information about whether the disaster is applicable to a certain network; information about whether the network can provide disaster roaming services.

Optionally, the information related to the MINT function may include at least one of:

first sub-information indicating that a disaster condition applies to the first object;

second sub-information indicating that the disaster condition is not applicable to the second object;

third sub-information indicating an object for which the disaster situation applies;

fourth sub-information indicating an object for which the disaster condition is not applicable;

fifth sub-information indicating an object capable of providing the disaster roaming service;

sixth sub-information indicating an object that cannot provide the disaster roaming service;

the object includes at least one of: a network; a cell (cell); tracking Area (TA); a geographic location.

In a specific implementation, the first sub-information is used to indicate that the disaster condition applies to an object, and the first object may be any object. Optionally, in a case that the first message is related to a first network, the first object corresponds to the first network. In particular, the first object may comprise at least one of: the first network; at least a portion of cells of the first network; at least a partial TA of the first network; at least a partial geographic location of the first network. In the case where the first object is the first network, a disaster situation applies to the entire first network; in case the first object is at least part of a cell, at least part of a TA or at least part of a geographical location of the first network, the disaster situation may apply to the entire first network or to a part of an area of the first network.

The second sub-information is used for indicating that the disaster condition is not applicable to a certain object, and the second object can be any object. Optionally, in a case that the first message is related to a first network, the second object corresponds to the first network. In particular, the second object may comprise at least one of: the first network; at least a partial cell of the first network; at least a partial TA of the first network; at least a partial geographic location of the first network.

Optionally, the second sub information may indicate at least one of:

a disaster condition does not occur at the second object;

a disaster condition ceases or disappears at the second object;

a disaster condition is when the second object stops or disappears.

In particular implementations, in one implementation, the second sub-information may indicate that a disaster condition did not occur at the second object. In this case, the second object has not been DC-enabled and can always provide normal service to the terminal.

In another implementation, the second sub information may indicate at least one of: a disaster condition ceases or disappears at the second object; a disaster situation is at a time when the second object stops or disappears. In this case, the second object has DC occurred, but DC has stopped or disappeared, and the service of the second object is not affected, i.e. the second object can provide normal service for the terminal again.

Optionally, the first configuration information may satisfy any one of:

obtaining from a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) installed on the terminal;

stored in the USIM;

obtaining from the mobile equipment ME of the terminal;

storing in the ME;

set by the manufacturer of the terminal;

appointing by a protocol;

and obtaining the data from the network side equipment.

In this embodiment, the USIM and/or the ME of the terminal may store therein MINT configuration information, such as the first configuration information, used for determining the usage of the MINT function by the terminal. Optionally, in a case that the first configuration information is not stored in the USIM or ME, the terminal may store the first configuration information in the USIM and/or ME after acquiring the first configuration information.

In practical applications, the MINT configuration information stored in the USIM and/or ME of the terminal may be changed or updated, such as: the MINT configuration information initially stored in the USIM or ME of the terminal may be set by the manufacturer of the terminal or agreed by a protocol, and then, the network side device may modify or update the MINT configuration information. In implementation, the MINT configuration information received by the terminal from the network side device may cover the USIM or ME of the terminal, or may be added to the USIM or ME of the terminal, which may be determined specifically according to actual situations, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In the case where the MINT configuration information is stored in the ME of the terminal, when the USIM or Certificate (CREDENTIAL) of the terminal is changed, the MINT configuration information currently stored by the ME is highly likely to be inapplicable to a new USIM or a new certificate and to be in a failed state, and therefore, the terminal can delete the MINT configuration information currently stored by the ME, and thus the storage reliability of the ME can be improved.

In the case that the terminal stores the MINT configuration information through the USIM, the USIM may define a first file for storing the MINT configuration information, such as a define a USIM data file for configuring the processing function of the MINT message (define a USIM data file for configuration of MINT messages, which may improve the efficiency of the terminal reading the MINT configuration information.

In a specific implementation, when the first file exists in the USIM, the terminal may perform a first operation according to the latest MINT configuration information stored in the first file.

In a case that a first file does not exist in a USIM installed by the terminal or the first file is empty, and the first file is used for configuring the first configuration information, optionally, the method may further include at least one of:

the terminal receives first messages of all networks;

the terminal ignores the first messages of all networks;

wherein the first message carries information related to the MINT function.

In this optional embodiment, if the first file does not exist In the USIM, or the first file is empty, that is, no MINT configuration information is stored, in the first implementation, the terminal may receive first messages (In case of an a non-existence or empty USIM data file, the MS/UE access all MINT messages on all PLMNs) of all networks; in another implementation manner, the terminal may ignore the first messages of all networks, which may be determined specifically according to an actual situation, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In some embodiments, it may pass through EF _MINT The first file is identified. EF _MINT Can be valid or invalid if EF _MINT Is valid, indicating that the first file exists; if EF _MINT Is invalid, indicating that the first file does not exist.

Alternatively, the format of the first file may be as shown in table 1.

Table 1: a format of the first file.

In practical applications, the MINT configuration information may be identified by one or more (at least two) bytes, different bits in the bytes may be used to configure the usage behavior of the terminal on the MINT messages of different networks, and different values of the bits may be used to determine the specific representation form of the usage behavior. Such as: bit 1 may be used to configure the usage behavior of the terminal for the MINT messages of all HPLMNs or EHPLMNs, and if the value of bit 1 is 0, it indicates that the MINT messages of the HPLMNs or EHPLMNs are processed; if bit 1 is set to 1, it indicates to ignore the neighbor message of HPLMN or EHPLMN. Bit 2 may be used to configure the usage behavior of the terminal for the MINT message of the VPLMNs, and if the value of bit 1 is 0, it indicates that the MINT message of the VPLMNs is processed; if bit 1 is set to 1, it means to ignore MINT message of VPLMNs.

In some embodiments, the USIM may indicate the network by table 2.

Table 2: indicating the format of a network

In practical applications, the USIM may instruct the terminal to receive, accept, process or ignore the first message received from the network corresponding to the PLMN ID 1, … …, PLMN ID n or instruct the terminal to receive, accept, process or ignore the first message of the network associated with the PLMN ID 1, … …, PLMN ID n through table 2, but is not limited thereto.

The following describes a case where the first configuration information is acquired from a network-side device.

In this case, the first configuration information may be stored in advance in a network-side device, such as a Unified Data Management entity (UDM), a Unified Data Repository (UDR), or an Application Function (AF), and then transmitted to the terminal by the network-side device.

Optionally, in a case that the first configuration information is acquired from a network side device, the first configuration information may be acquired by at least one of: non-access stratum (NAS) signaling procedures; radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling procedures.

Further, the NAS signaling procedure comprises at least one of: a registration process; a general terminal Configuration Update (UCU) procedure; a terminal parameter update (UPU) procedure; a Roaming of Roaming maneuvering (SOR) procedure; NAS direct transfer procedure.

Such as: under the condition that the first configuration information is obtained through the REGISTRATION process, the network side device may bear the first configuration information in a REGISTRATION result message, such as a REGISTRATION acceptance (REGISTRATION ACCEPT) message or a REGISTRATION rejection (REGISTRATION REJECT) message, and send the REGISTRATION result message to the terminal.

Under the condition that the first Configuration information is obtained through the UCU process, the network side device may bear the first Configuration information in a UE Configuration update command (UE Configuration update command) message and send the UE Configuration update command message to the terminal.

In a case where the first configuration information is acquired through a NAS direct transfer process, the network side device may send the first configuration information to the terminal by bearing the first configuration information in a downlink NAS Transport (DL NAS Transport) message.

Optionally, in a case that the first configuration information is obtained from a network side device, the first configuration information is carried by at least one of:

a first information element dedicated to carrying the first configuration information;

a first container dedicated to carrying the first configuration information;

Of course, it can be understood that the first cell, the first container, and the ith column may also be expanded to carry other information, which may be determined according to actual situations, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in a case that the first configuration information is obtained from the network-side device, after the terminal obtains the first configuration information, the method may further include at least one of:

the terminal carries out security check or authentication on the first configuration information;

and the terminal sends first feedback information to the network side equipment, and the first feedback information is used for feeding back that the terminal receives the first configuration information or successfully completes security check or authentication of the first configuration information.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may store the first configuration information in the USIM or the ME to change or update the MINT configuration information stored in the terminal. Specifically, the first configuration information may cover the last-stored MINT configuration information of the terminal, or may be stored in the terminal together with the last-stored MINT configuration information of the terminal.

When the network side device sends the first configuration information, the network side device may perform security processing on the first configuration information, so that after the terminal receives the first configuration information, the terminal may perform security check (security check) or authentication (verify) on the first configuration information to detect whether the first configuration information is complete or tampered, thereby improving transmission reliability of the first configuration information.

Optionally, the security processing means may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: adding a Message Authorization Code (MAC) for integrity protection; and (4) encrypting.

After receiving the first feedback information or successfully completing the security check or authentication of the first configuration information, the terminal may send feedback information to the network side device to inform the network side device that the network side device receives the first feedback information or successfully completes the security check or authentication of the first configuration information.

In implementation, the behavior of the terminal sending the feedback information may be an autonomous behavior, or a behavior generated based on a requirement of the network side device, which may be determined specifically according to an actual situation, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in a case that the first configuration information is acquired from a network-side device, the first configuration information is determined by at least one of: subscription data of the terminal; capability information of the terminal; agreement between operators.

In specific implementation, when the MINT configuration information is determined according to the subscription data of the terminal, the terminal may obtain the disaster roaming service in a network when the terminal signs about to obtain the disaster roaming service in the network; otherwise the terminal cannot obtain disaster roaming service in the network.

In the case that the MINT configuration information is determined according to the capability information of the terminal, when the terminal has an access technology (such as a 4G access technology, a 5G access technology, etc.) for accessing a network, the terminal may acquire a disaster roaming service in the network; otherwise the terminal cannot obtain disaster roaming service in the network.

In the case where the MINT configuration information is determined according to an agreement between operators, when there is an agreement to provide the disaster roaming service between different networks, the terminal may acquire the disaster roaming service in the corresponding network. Such as: when network a and network B have an agreement to provide disaster roaming service, a terminal in network a may move to network B to obtain disaster roaming service when a disaster occurs in network a.

Controlling (e.g., allowing, limited allowing, close) how the terminal handles the MINT-related messages may be accomplished by controlling, configuring, etc., how the terminal handles the disaster roaming service.

1. For terminal

The usage information of the terminal for the MINT function (i.e., disaster roaming service) may include at least one of the following:

whether the prefix uses the MINT function by the terminal;

The information configured in the terminal includes a processing function (i.e., usage behavior) for the MINT-related message, such as different processing methods (e.g., receive, accept, process, ignore, etc.) for the MINT-related message.

The information of the processing function of the MINT-related message may include at least one of:

Alternatively, the MINT configuration information may be stored in the USIM or ME.

In the USIM, information (definitions a USIM data file for configuration of MINT messages retrieval) may be defined for configuring the processing function of MINT-related messages.

If the file does not exist or the USIM data file is empty, the terminal accept all network MINT related messages (In case of an a non-existence or empty USIM data file, the MS/UE accept all MINT services on all PLMNs); if the file does not exist or the USIM data file is empty, the terminal ignores all network MINT related messages.

2. For a network.

The network may control the use of the MINT function by the terminal, i.e. the use of the disaster roaming service by the terminal, e.g. by sending and updating information on the function of processing the messages related to the MINT by the terminal.

Alternatively, the information on the terminal's processing function for the MINT-related messages may be pre-configured in the network device, e.g. UDM, UDR, AF.

Alternatively, the information of the processing function of the terminal on the MINT-related message may be transmitted to the terminal in the signaling flow.

The signaling procedure may be: NAS signaling procedures such as registration procedure, UCU (Generic UE configuration update procedure) procedure, UPU (UE parameters update) procedure, SOR (Steering of Roaming) procedure, etc.; or RRC signaling procedure;

alternatively, the network may decide the processing of the MINT-related message by the terminal based on subscription data of the UE, capability information of the UE, an inter-operator agreement, etc., such as permission, limited permission, disaster roaming service of the pre-client terminal.

Alternatively, the network may change and update the information on the function of the terminal for processing the message related to the MINT.

Alternatively, the network transmits information of a function of processing the message related to the MINT by the terminal to the terminal.

Alternatively, the network may start a timer when the network transmits information on the terminal's function of processing the message related to the MINT to the terminal.

After the network receives the feedback information of the processing function information of the MINT related information sent to the network by the terminal, the network may stop the timer; when the timer expires, the network may transmit information of the processing function of the message related to the MINT to the terminal again.

Alternatively, the network may perform security processing on the information of the processing function of the MINT-related message, for example, adding a message authorization code MAC, performing integrity protection, and encrypting.

Alternatively, the network may perform security checks on feedback information of received information of the processing function of the MINT-related message sent by the terminal to the network.

The examples of the present application are described below with reference to examples:

example 1: and the network provides the process of the processing function information of the MINT related message in the registration process.

As shown in fig. 4, the registration process may include the following steps:

step 1, the terminal sends a registration request message to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).

And 2. The AMF executes the registration process.

In the registration process, the AMF does not need to provide the terminal with the information of the processing function of the message related to the MINT, and then the step 3 is entered; otherwise, go to step 4.

And 3, the AMF sends a registration response message to the terminal.

The registration response message may be a registration success message or a registration rejection message.

And 4, the AMF sends a first request to the first network element for requesting to acquire the information of the processing function of the information related to the MINT.

The first network may be a UDM. The first network may further obtain information of processing functions of the MINT-related message from other network elements, e.g. AF.

And 5, the first network sends the information of the processing function of the MINT related message to the AMF.

During specific implementation, the first network may perform security protection on information of a processing function of the message related to the MINT; the first network may also require the terminal to: if the terminal successfully and correctly receives the information, the network feeds back an indication of successfully receiving the information.

And 6. The AMF sends the information of the processing function of the MINT related message to the terminal.

In specific implementation, the message may be in a registration success message or a registration rejection message;

after receiving the information of the processing function of the message related to the MINT, if security check needs to be performed on the information of the processing function of the message related to the MINT, the terminal performs security check on the information of the processing function of the message related to the MINT, for example, checking whether the information is tampered or discarded; the terminal may locally store information of the processing function of the mitt-related message that is successfully checked.

And 7, the terminal sends a REGISTRATION completion (REGISTRATION COMPLETE) message to the AMF, wherein the message carries an indication that the terminal successfully receives the information of the processing function of the MINT-related message.

And 8, the AMF sends an indication of the processing function information of the message related to the MINT successfully received by the terminal to the first network element.

Example 2: the NAS message carries information of a processing function of the MINT-related message.

The mobility management message and the session management message carry information of a processing function of the message related to the MINT, for example: in a registration procedure (registration accept message), or a UCU procedure (UE Configuration update command message), or a NAS direct transfer procedure (DL NAS Transport message), the network provides the terminal with information of a processing function of an MINT-related message. The terminal can use the MINT function using the information. The terminal may also transmit information related to information of a processing function of the MINT-related message, for example, confirmation information of a processing function of the MINT-related message, which is successfully received, to the network using the mobility management message, the session management message.

The message format carried in the NAS REGISTRATION message (REGISTRATION ACCEPT, REGISTRATION complete) may be as shown in tables 3a and 3 b.

In table 4, the MAC is used to check whether the information parameter of the processing function of the MINT-related message in the container is tampered or discarded, and can be specifically calculated by the counter and the information parameter of the processing function of the MINT-related message.

Example 4: the MINT configuration information is transmitted in a UE parameters update transparent container (UE parameters update transparent container).

The format of the UE parameter update transparent transmission container can be seen in table 5.
