Example 1

This embodiment mainly describes a method of acquiring PIN configuration service information (PIN Configuration server information) and/or address information of a PIN server.

Since the number of IP addresses of the PIN server is relatively large, this embodiment provides an additional PIN configuration server for providing the IP address of the PIN server for the terminal such as PEMC or PEGC.

In addition, the embodiment also provides a method for directly transmitting the address information of the PIN server to the terminal.

The terminal can acquire the IP address of the PIN configuration server by acquiring the PIN configuration service information; the PIN configuration service information comprises an IP address of the PIN configuration server or a FQDN of the PIN configuration server. Or the terminal directly acquires the address information of the PIN server.

The PIN configuration server and/or PIN server may be an application function (Application Function, AF), the network element that may obtain the address of the PIN configuration server and/or PIN server's address information comprising: PEMC, PEGC, PIN network elements (elements), etc., which also include PEMC enabler, PEGC enabler, PIN element enabler, and UE terminals.

The method for obtaining the PIN configuration service information and/or the address information of the PIN server comprises at least one of the following steps:

method 1: pre-configuration. For example, the PIN configuration service information includes an IP address of the PIN configuration server, and the IP address of the PIN configuration server and/or the address information of the PIN server may be preconfigured in the PEMC, PEGC, or the like.

Method 2: and sending PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server through an ePCO field of the 5GC NAS message. The sender may be SMF or AMF, etc.; the recipient may be a terminal, including PEMC, PEGC, etc.

Method 3: DNS procedure. And obtaining the IP address of the PIN configuration server and/or the address information of the PIN server through DNS inquiry. For example, the PIN configuration service information includes an IP address of the PIN configuration server, and the terminal obtains the IP address of the PIN configuration server through DNS query. The DNS query process may require the FQDN of the PIN configuration server, the terminal itself knows the FQDN of the PIN configuration server, or the terminal may derive the FQDN of the PIN configuration server according to its own location information.

Method 4: a PIN enabler (e.g., PEMC enabler, PEGC enabler) on the UE may sense the IP address of the PIN configuration server or PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server and then issue to the UE.

In the above design, the PIN configuration service information includes an IP address or FQDN of the PIN configuration server.

Specifically, the PIN configuration service information mainly includes the following contents: one is an IP address or FQDN containing one or more PIN configuration servers; then also the ID of the service provider of a PIN configuration server, i.e. who the PIN configuration server is provided by, or who the service provider of the PIN is; finally, there is also first space effective condition information, where the first space effective condition information is location information, such as Tracking Area (TA), and the first space effective condition information is used to indicate that the PIN configuration service information is effective in a location corresponding to the first space effective condition information.

Optionally, the PIN configuration service information may also be used as UE subscription data. In the UE subscription data, session management subscription data includes PIN configuration service information, and specific content of the PIN configuration service information may be referred to in the foregoing description.

Example two

In method 2 of embodiment one, it is mentioned that PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server is transmitted by NAS message of 5GC. This embodiment will mainly describe how the 5GC obtains PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server, that is: the AF provides PIN configuration service information to the 5GC. As shown in fig. 7, this embodiment includes the following steps.

Step 0: the SMF/AMF subscribes to notification of UDM, the subscription content is a change in PIN configuration service information and/or address information of PIN server (including a change in the data) of a single UE and/or a group of UEs, or any one UE. The SMF/AMF uses Nudm_SDM_subsciences to Subscribe to changes in PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server in the UDM.

Step 1: the AF provides PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server or updates PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server to the NEF (since the AF is a third party untrusted AF, it must be given to the NEF first). The following NEF service signaling is adopted, and PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server are contained in the NEF service signaling: for example, nnef_parameter definition_create, providing PIN configuration server IP address; nnef_parameterProvisions_update, update PIN configuration server IP information; nnef_parameterProvisions_delete, PIN configuration server IP information. The added parameters in the three signaling are PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server, and the parameters are optional.

The embodiment may provide PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server for a single UE, or may provide PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server for a group of UEs, or for any UE. The PIN configuration service information and/or the address information of the PIN server may be provided to a single UE (for example, GPSI is provided), a group of UEs (for example, AF is provided External Group ID), or any UE.

Step 2: if the AF is authorized by the NEF, parameters may be provided, the NEF requesting generation, updating, saving or deleting of the provided PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server and sending this information as part of the subscription data to the UDM, providing PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server using the server signaling of the UDM, e.g. nudm_parameter provision_create; nudm_parameter provisioning_update, updating PIN configuration service information and/or address information of PIN server; nudm_parameter provisioning_delete Request, deleting PIN configuration service information and/or PIN server address information. The added parameters in the three signaling are PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server, and the parameters are optional.

The embodiment may provide PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server for a single UE, or may provide PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server for a group of UEs, or for any UE.

Step 3: the UDM may read PIN configuration service information and/or PIN server address information from the UDR by: nudr_dm_query. This reading operation is mainly to confirm the corresponding subscription information in order to verify the data update of the required PIN configuration service information and/or the address information of the PIN server.

Step 4: if the AF is authorized by the UDM, parameters can be provided, then PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server is provided to the UDR, or data in the UDR is updated, through the server signaling of the UDR. Signaling with UDR: the Nudr_DM_Create/Update/Delete Request contains PIN configuration service information and/or address information of a PIN server.

Step 5-6: if the parameter provides success, a success response is sent.

Step 7: if the parameter provisioning is successful, the UDM informs the network element subscribing to the parameter, which in this example may be an SMF. The UDM transmits PIN configuration service information provided by the AF and/or address information of a PIN server or updated PIN configuration service information and/or address information of the PIN server to the SMF or the AMF. The method of transmission is through nudm_sdm_ Notification Notify.

Example III

This embodiment mainly describes how the terminal obtains the address information of the PIN server, and will be described in two sub-embodiments.

Example three-1

This embodiment will mainly describe the PEMC acquiring the IP address of the PIN server. With the IP address of the PIN configuration server, the IP address of the PIN server can be obtained. As shown in fig. 8, this embodiment includes the following steps.

Step 1: the PEMC (also possibly PEGC, PIN element, etc.) sends a service configuration request (Service provisioning request) to the PIN configuration server, this service request comprising: UE ID (such as GPSI), UE location (PEMC location), information of clients on PEMC, and security credentials.

The information of the client on the PEMC includes: client ID, client type, such as gaming service, PIN configuration service provider list, i.e. who the PIN configuration server is provided by whom it is intended to use.

Step 2: after the PIN configuration server receives the service configuration request, it is verified whether the PEMC is legal or not, and whether the service configuration request can be executed or not.

Meanwhile, the PIN configuration server may use the capabilities of the 3GPP network, for example, the PIN configuration server may be able to obtain the current location information of the UE, such as PEMC, through the NEF-open location service.

The PIN configuration server can also identify which PIN server's IP address to provide to this PEMC based on the above client's information provided by the PEMC.

Step 3: if the service configuration request is granted, a service configuration response (service provisioning response) is sent, including the IP address of the PIN server, the FQDN, and information of the data network (data network) where the PIN server is located, such as: an ID of the data network, a service area of the data network, etc.

If the service configuration request is not agreed, the sent service configuration response is a failure response, and the failure response includes the reason for the failure of the request.

Example III-2

This embodiment mainly describes that PEGC (or PIN element) acquires the IP address of the PIN server through PEMC, where PEGC may also acquire the IP address of the PIN server from the PIN configuration server. However, there is one more PEGC method to get the address from the PEMC. As shown in fig. 9, the following steps are included.

Step 1: the PEMC requests the PIN to be established and agreed upon by the PIN server.

Step 2: the PEMC triggers a gateway message to be sent to the PEGC, and sends the IP address of the PIN server, the ID of the PIN, and the routing information, access control information, etc. of the gateway.

Step 3: PEGC replies whether the reception was successful or failed.
