Background

In the related art, when a device communicates with a network side through a gateway, the network side cannot know the situation of the device behind the gateway, and it is difficult to configure the device behind the gateway.

The configuration method, terminal and network side device of the data processing rule provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application provides a method 200 for configuring a data processing rule, where the method for configuring a data processing rule may be performed by a network side device, in other words, the method for configuring a data processing rule may be performed by software or hardware installed in a network side device, and the method for configuring a data processing rule includes the following steps.

S202: the first network function instructs the second network function to execute a first operation of the data processing rule according to first instruction information or state information related to the second terminal, the first instruction information is used for indicating the state of the first terminal, and the first terminal is connected with the network side through the second terminal; wherein the first operation comprises any one of: configuring a data processing rule; the data processing rules are de-configured.

The second terminal may be a network-capable terminal, and the at least one first terminal may communicate with the network side through the second terminal. For example, the second terminal may be a personal networking gateway (PEGC), and the other one or more first terminals may communicate with the network side through the second terminal.

The first network function may be an access mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), a session management function (Session Management Function, SMF), a policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF), unified data management (Unified Data Management, UDM), unified data repository (Unified Data Repository, UDR), an application function (Application Function, AF), a network opening function (Network Exposure Function, NEF), and the like.

The second network function may be a user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF).

The first indication information may be sent by the second terminal to the first network function, and the first indication information may be used to indicate a state of the first terminal. Alternatively, the first indication information may be used to indicate a connection state between the first terminal and the second terminal, where the connection state may be any of the following:

an idle state; the connection is lost; connected; and (5) connecting.

The idle state may be a state in which the first terminal is idle, the connection loss may be the first terminal losing the connection with the second terminal, the connected state may be the first terminal entering the connected state from the idle state, and the connected state may be the first terminal being in a state of being connected with the second terminal.

The second terminal related status information may be determined by the first network function, and the second terminal related status information may include one of:

a state of the second terminal;

the state of the protocol data unit (protocol data unit, PDU) session of the second terminal.

The state of the second terminal may be a connection state between the second terminal and the network side, the connection state may be an idle state or a connection state, the idle state may be a state in which the second terminal is not connected to the network side, and the connection state may be a state in which the second terminal is connected to the network side.

The PDU session of the second terminal may be used for forwarding the data packets of the first terminal and the network side, and the state of the PDU session may be an active state or an inactive state. In the scenario that the PDU session forwards the data messages between the first terminal and the network side, the first terminal may use the IP address of the second terminal, and different first terminals correspond to different ports, or the first terminal may use a different IP address or a different mandatory access control (Mandatory Access Control, MAC) transmission address with the second terminal.

Optionally, a first network function instructs the second network function to perform the first operation based on the type of the first terminal.

The type of the first terminal may be any one of the following: a first type and a second type.

The first type is used for indicating that the terminal supports the connection with the first network through the access network device, or that the terminal has a condition of receiving information (such as that there are other functions in the connection access network), or that the terminal is in a state of monitoring a direct connection air interface, so that the direct connection air interface connection request initiated by other terminals can be received. When the type of the first terminal is a first type, the first network function may instruct the second network function to perform the first operation.

The second type is used for indicating that the terminal does not support the connection to the first network through the access network device, or does not have a condition of receiving information (such as that only the function in the connection access network exists), or the terminal is not in a state of monitoring the direct connection air interface, so that the direct connection air interface connection request initiated by other terminals cannot be received.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first network function may instruct the second network function to perform a first operation on the data processing rule according to the first instruction information or the information related to the second terminal, where the first operation may be to configure the data processing rule or cancel configuring the data processing rule. That is, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure or cancel the configuration data processing rule according to the first instruction information or the second terminal-related information. Optionally, the data processing rule may include a data reporting rule, where the second network function configures the data processing rule, when the data addressed to the first terminal/second terminal arrives, the second network function may report the data to the first network function, so that the first network function may activate the first terminal/second terminal, so that the first terminal/second terminal may receive the data, and where the second network function cancels the configuration data processing rule, and where the second network function may cancel reporting the data to the first network function when the data addressed to the first terminal/second terminal arrives.

The following will describe the specific application scenario in detail.

In a first implementation, in the case that the second terminal is in a connection state or the state of the PDU session is in an active state, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure or cancel the data processing rule for a plurality of first terminals, which may be all first terminals related to the second terminal, and the plurality of first terminals may communicate with the network side through the second terminal. The first network function instructing the second network function to perform a first operation on the data processing rule according to the first instruction information or the state information related to the second terminal may include:

in case the first indication information indicates an idle state or a connection loss, indicating a second network function to configure data processing rules; or alternatively, the first and second heat exchangers may be,

in case the first indication information indicates a connected or connected state, the second network function is instructed to cancel the configuration data processing rule.

The first indication information herein may indicate states of all the first terminals related to the second terminal. The first network function may instruct the second network function to configure the data processing rule in case the first indication information indicates that the state of all the first terminals is idle state or that the connection is lost. For example, in the case that the second terminal does not turn on the WiFi hotspot, the first indication information may indicate that the states of all the first terminals are idle states, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function configures the data processing rule. For another example, after the second terminal opens the WiFi hotspot and accesses the plurality of first terminals, the second terminal closes the WiFi hotspot, and the first indication information may indicate that the states of all the first terminals are connection loss, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function configures the data processing rule.

In the case that the first network function indicates that the second network function configures the data processing rule, the data processing rule may include a first data reporting rule or a second data reporting rule, where the first data reporting rule is used for reporting, by the second network function, a received data packet addressed to the second terminal, and the second data reporting rule is used for reporting, by the second network function, a received data packet addressed to all the first terminals related to the second terminal.

Optionally, in the case that the first terminal uses the IP address of the second terminal, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure the data processing rule, and may instruct the second network function to configure a first data reporting rule, where the first data reporting rule may include port numbers of all the first terminals or port number intervals corresponding to port numbers of all the first terminals, where the port numbers or the port number intervals are used to identify the first terminal. When the IP address or the MAC address of the first terminal is different from the IP address or the MAC address of the second terminal, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure the data processing rule, which may be to instruct the second network function to configure the first data reporting rule and the second data reporting rule, where the second data reporting rule may include transmission addresses of all the first terminals or transmission address intervals corresponding to the transmission addresses of all the first terminals, where the transmission addresses or the transmission address intervals are used to identify the first terminal, and the transmission addresses may be IP addresses, MAC addresses, IP addresses, port numbers, and so on.

In case the first indication information indicates that the status of all the first terminals is connected or connected, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule. For example, after the second terminal closes the WiFi hotspot, the second terminal opens the WiFi hotspot and accesses the plurality of first terminals, and the first indication information may indicate that the states of all the first terminals are connected, where in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function cancels the data processing rule configured before. For another example, in the case that the second terminal opens a WiFi hotspot and has access to a plurality of first terminals, the first indication information may indicate that the states of all the first terminals are connected, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function cancels the previously configured data processing rule.

In the case where the first network function instructs the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule, the data processing rule may include the first data reporting rule or the second data reporting rule described above. Alternatively, in the case that the first terminal uses the IP address of the second terminal, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule, and may be a first data reporting rule that instructs the second network function to cancel the previous configuration. In the case that the IP address or MAC address of the first terminal is different from the IP address or MAC address of the second terminal, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule, and may instruct the second network function to cancel the first data reporting rule and the second data reporting rule configured before.

In a second implementation, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure or de-configure the data processing rules for a certain first terminal in case the second terminal is in a connected state or the state of the PDU session is in an active state. In this case, the first indication information may further include information related to the first terminal, where the information related to the first terminal may be terminal information of the first terminal (such as a device identifier of the first terminal), session information of the first terminal (such as a PDU session identifier of the first terminal), connection information of the first terminal (such as an IP of the first terminal), data transmission port information (such as a port number or a transmission address of the first terminal), and the like. The first network function instructing the second network function to perform a first operation on the data processing rule according to the first instruction information or the state information related to the second terminal may include:

The first indication information here may indicate a state of a certain first terminal. The first network function may instruct the second network function to configure the data processing rule in case the first indication information indicates that the state of the first terminal is an idle state or a connection is lost. For example, in a case where the first terminal is not connected to the WiFi hotspot of the second terminal, the first indication information may indicate that the state of the first terminal is idle, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function configures the data processing rule. For another example, after the first terminal connects to the WiFi hotspot of the second terminal, the first indication information may indicate that the state of the first terminal is a connection loss due to the first terminal dormancy or other reasons, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function configures the data processing rule.

In the case that the first network function indicates that the second network function configures the data processing rule, the data processing rule may include a third data reporting rule, where the third data reporting rule may be used for reporting, by the second network function, a received data packet addressed to the transmission address of the first terminal, and the third data reporting rule may include a transmission address, or a port number interval of the first terminal, where the transmission address, the port number, or the port number interval may be used to identify the first terminal, and the transmission address may be an IP address, or an MAC address, or an IP address and a port number.

In case the first indication information indicates that the state of the first terminal is connected or connected, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule. For example, when the first terminal changes from a WiFi hotspot not connected to the second terminal to a WiFi hotspot connected to the second terminal, the first indication information may indicate that the state of the first terminal is connected, in which case the first network function may indicate that the second network function cancels the previously configured data processing rule. For another example, in the case where the first terminal maintains a connection with the WiFi hotspot of the second terminal, the first indication information may indicate that the state of the first terminal is a connected state, and in this case, the first network function may indicate that the second network function cancels the previously configured data processing rule.

In case the first network function instructs the second network function to cancel the configuration data processing rule, the data processing rule may include the third data reporting rule described above, i.e. the first network function instructs the second network function to cancel the previously configured third data reporting rule.

In a third implementation manner, in a case where the second terminal is in a connection state or the state of the PDU session is in an active state, after a plurality of first terminals (all the first terminals related to the second terminal may communicate with the network side through the second terminal) are in an idle state or lose connection with the second terminal, when a certain first terminal is connected with the second terminal, the first network function may instruct the second network function to configure or cancel the configuration of the data processing rule for the first terminal.

Specifically, in the case where the first indication information indicates that the states of the plurality of first terminals connected to the second terminal are idle states or connection loss, when a certain first terminal is connected to the second terminal, the first network function may receive second indication information of the second terminal, which may indicate which first terminal or terminals of all the first terminals have established a connection with the second terminal and/or which first terminals have not been connected to the second terminal and are still in an idle state or connection loss state. Alternatively, the second indication information may include information related to the first terminal and third indication information. The information related to the first terminal may be information related to the first terminal connected to the second terminal, and may include terminal information of the first terminal, session information of the first terminal, connection information of the first terminal, data transmission port information, and the like. The third indication information may be used to indicate a connection state between at least a part of the first terminals and the second terminal, where the at least part of the first terminals may include the first terminals connected to the second terminal and/or the first terminals not connected to the second terminal, and the connection state may include any one of the following: an idle state; the connection is lost; connected; and (5) connecting.

After the first network function receives the third indication information, if the third indication information indicates that a certain first terminal is connected or in a connected state, the first network function instructs the second network function to execute a first operation of the data processing rule according to the first indication information or the state information related to the second terminal, and the first operation may include any one of the following three operations:

operation 1: canceling configuration of the first data reporting rule or the second data reporting rule and configuration of the fourth data reporting rule;

operation 2: canceling configuration of a third data reporting rule;

operation 3: and configuring the data message of the transmission address which is stopped reporting and is sent to the first terminal.

In operation 1, the first data reporting rule and the second data reporting rule may be the first data reporting rule and the second data reporting rule in the first implementation manner. If the state of all the first terminals is idle state or the connection is lost, the first network function indicates that the second network function configures the first data reporting rule or the second data reporting rule, and when the state of a certain first terminal is changed from idle state or connection loss to connected state, the first network function may indicate that the second network function cancels the first data reporting rule or the second data reporting rule configured before, and may also indicate that the second network function configures the fourth data reporting rule. The fourth data reporting rule may be used for reporting, by the second network function, the received data packet addressed to the transmission address of the other first terminal related to the second terminal (i.e. the first terminal whose connection state is changed from the idle state or the connection loss to the connected or connected state), where the fourth data reporting rule includes the transmission address or the transmission address interval of the other first terminal.

Optionally, the first network function may include a port number interval in the first data reporting rule when the second network function is instructed to cancel configuring the first data reporting rule, where the port number interval may include a port of the first terminal connected to the second terminal. That is, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the configuration of the first data reporting rule, which may be the first data reporting rule for all the first terminals before instructing the second network function to cancel.

Optionally, the first network function may include a transmission address interval in the second data reporting rule when the second network function is instructed to cancel configuring the second data reporting rule, where the transmission address interval may include a transmission address of a first terminal connected to the second terminal. That is, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel configuring the second data reporting rule, which may be the second data reporting rule for all the first terminals before instructing the second network function to cancel.

In operation 2, only the data processing rule previously configured for the first terminal (the first terminal whose connection state is changed from the idle state or the connection loss to the connected or connected state) may be canceled, i.e., if the data processing rule is previously configured for the first terminal, the data processing rule previously configured for the first terminal may be canceled. For example, when the state of the first network function before the first terminal is idle state or the connection is lost, the first network function instructs the second network function to configure the third data reporting rule for the first terminal, and when the state of the first terminal is changed from idle state or the connection is lost to connected state or connected, the first network function may instruct the second network function to cancel the third data reporting rule configured for the first terminal before. The third data reporting rule is used for reporting the received data message of the transmission address sent to the first terminal by the second network function, and the third data reporting rule comprises a port number or the transmission address of the first terminal.

In operation 3, in the case that the first terminal is changed from the idle state or the connection loss to the connected or connected state, the first network function may not cancel the data reporting rule configured for all the first terminals when the states of all the first terminals are the idle state or the connection loss before, but perform separate configuration for the first terminal, specifically, configure to stop reporting the data packet of the transmission address sent to the first terminal.
