Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a slice ordering method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to the user terminal, and the user terminal can be a smart phone or other mobile communication equipment supporting an operator card, and the invention is not limited to the method. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following step S101.

S101, sending a slice ordering request for ordering a special network slice for other users by a local user to a service platform, wherein the slice ordering request comprises a local user identifier and other user identifiers, so that the service platform obtains the relationship between the local user and the other users based on the local user identifier and the other user identifiers, judges whether the relationship between the local user and the other users meets a preset affinity condition, and if yes, provides special network slice service for the other users based on the slice ordering request.

The service platform comprises an operator platform and an application platform, wherein the application platform can be arranged in the operator platform or independent of the operator platform. The user identification may be a mobile phone number, an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity ) or other identification capable of distinguishing between different user identities. The preset affinity condition can be set and adjusted by a person skilled in the art according to actual requirements.

In this embodiment, for a user who does not perform a slice subscription operation (i.e., the other user is hereinafter referred to as a second user), another person (i.e., the local user is hereinafter referred to as a first user) may subscribe a slice for the second user on his own terminal, specifically, the first user sends a slice subscription request for subscribing a dedicated network slice for the second user to the service platform, and after receiving the slice subscription request, the service platform determines whether the relationship between the first user and the second user is intimate, if so, provides a dedicated network slice service for the second user, thereby solving the problem that in the prior art, only the local user may subscribe a slice service.

In a specific embodiment, the following steps S102 and S103 are further included before step S101.

S102, displaying a slice ordering page, wherein the slice ordering page comprises an input area;

s103, receiving other user identifications input by the local user in the input area of the slice ordering page.

In this embodiment, the first user may submit an application for ordering a slice for the second user to the service platform through the slice ordering page on the own terminal.

The slice order page may be an APP (Application) page, a web page, a sms page, a mms page, a 5G message page, a WeChat public number page, etc. The slicing ordering page comprises an area for inputting the user identification of the second user, and if the user identification of the second user is a mobile phone number, the first user can manually input the mobile phone number of the second user in the area, or can call the mobile phone number of the second user in an address book of the first user and paste the mobile phone number in the area. Then, the first user terminal may generate a slice subscription request based on the inputted second user identifier and the own first user identifier and send the slice subscription request to the service platform.

In a specific embodiment, the slice subscription page further includes multiple types of dedicated network slice options.

Accordingly, after step S102, the following step S104 is also included.

S104, receiving a selection result of the local user in the slice ordering page aiming at the multiple types of special network slice options, and adding the selection result into the slice ordering request.

In this embodiment, in order to provide diversified slice subscription services, multiple types of dedicated network slice options are displayed on a slice subscription page of the first user terminal, and one type of dedicated network slice may be selected according to the actual requirement of the second user. The special network slices of different types can be divided according to security, time delay and speed, and can be specifically set and adjusted according to actual requirements by a person skilled in the art.

And the service platform can provide the required slicing service for the second user when the special network slicing service is provided for the second user based on the slicing subscription request because the slicing subscription request is added with the selection result of the special network slicing required by the second user. For example, if the second user is a confidential user, the service should use a dedicated network slice with high security, then the service platform provides the second user with a slice service with high security based on the selection result in the slice subscription request, so as to avoid the potential safety hazard caused by the second user using a common slice.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of another slice ordering method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to a service platform, wherein the service platform comprises an operator platform and also comprises an application platform, and the application platform can be arranged in the operator platform or can be arranged independently of the operator platform. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps S201 to S204.

s202, acquiring the relation between the local user and the other users based on the local user identification and the other user identification;

s203, judging whether the relationship between the two satisfies a preset affinity condition, if so, executing a step S204, otherwise, ending the current flow;

s204, providing special network slicing service for the other users based on the slicing subscription request.

Wherein, the preset affinity condition can be set and adjusted by a person skilled in the art according to the actual requirement.

In one embodiment, if the determination result in step S203 is no, the following step S205 is performed.

S205, sending prompt information about slice ordering failure to the user terminal (namely the first user terminal).

In this embodiment, when the first user orders the slice for the second user, if the relationship between the first user and the second user is not intimate, the service platform refuses to order the slice for the second user by the first user and notifies the first user, so that the situation that the unauthorized user orders the slice for other people maliciously can be avoided.

In a specific embodiment, the preset affinity condition is any one or more of the following five conditions:

and the local user and the other users correspond to the same person in real-name authentication under the condition of first condition.

Under the condition, the local user and the other users have a specific relation on real-name authentication, and the user identifications of the local user and the other users correspond to the same person in the real-name authentication, wherein the person can be a personal user or an enterprise user.

And in the second condition, the local user shares a package with the other users or corresponds to the same package.

In this case, the local user and the other user have a specific relationship on the package subordination, for example, the other user is a secondary card of the local user (both sharing a primary and secondary card package), or the other user and the local user belong to the same family package.

And thirdly, the names of the local users in the terminal address book of the other users are preset names.

In practical application, the other user terminals can periodically upload their own address books to the service platform, and the service platform can find the names of the local users in the address books of the other users, and then judge whether the names of the local users are preset names.

The service platform may also send an application to the other user terminal to call the name of the local user in the address book of the other user terminal after receiving the slice subscription request sent by the local user terminal for subscribing the private network slice for the other user, and then determine whether the name of the local user is a preset name.

The preset names refer to names capable of defining specific relationships between the local user and the other users, such as relatives, friends, and the like.

And in the fourth condition, the name of the local user in the information sent by the other users to the local user is a preset name.

The information sent by the other users to the local user can be short messages, multimedia messages, 5G messages, micro messages and the like.

And fifthly, in the communication records of the other users, the local user is a close contact person of the other users.

The communication record may be a record of a short message, a multimedia message, a 5G message, a micro message, a call, etc. The communication record of the other user is specifically a record of the communication actively initiated by the other user. The close contacts can be contacts with the contact frequencies ranked at the top N, and the value of N can be set and adjusted by a person skilled in the art according to actual requirements.

In addition, the preset affinity condition may authorize the local user to order slices for the other user.

In this embodiment, after knowing the relationship between the first user and the second user, if the relationship between the first user and the second user meets any one of the above conditions, the service platform orders the private network slice for the second user through the first user, otherwise, the service platform refuses the first user to order the private network slice for the second user.

In an alternative embodiment, step S204 includes the following step S204a.

And S204a, switching and mapping the PDU session currently established by the other user terminals from the default network slice of the original bearer to the special network slice provided for the user terminal based on the slice subscription request.

Wherein, the default network slice refers to a network slice that a user can use without purchasing.

A PDU Session, i.e. PDU Session, provides Data connectivity between a UE (User Equipment/User terminal) and a DN (Data Network). All data traffic of the UE must be carried over the PDU session, in other words, the UE should establish the PDU session before transmitting the data traffic; the PDU session must be created by the UE, and after the core network accepts the UE's request and allocates the corresponding control plane and data plane resources, the UE can transmit data with the DN.

In this embodiment, the service platform updates the routing policy of the other user terminal based on the slice subscription request, specifically, switches and maps the PDU session currently established by the other user terminal from the default network slice of the original bearer to the dedicated network slice provided for the other user terminal, so that the other user uses the dedicated network slice to establish a new PDU session for the application.

In another alternative embodiment, step S204 includes the following step S204b.

And S204b, sending service information corresponding to the special network slice provided for the other user terminals based on the slice subscription request, wherein the service information corresponding to the special network slice comprises a special network slice identifier, so that the other user terminals end the original PDU session of the application in response to receiving the service information corresponding to the special network slice, and establish a new PDU session for the application by using the special network slice based on the service information corresponding to the special network slice.

The service information corresponding to the special network slice at least comprises S-NSSAI (Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information, single network slice selection auxiliary information) and TD (Traffic Descriptor, traffic flow descriptor). Wherein, S-NSSAI is the identification of the private network slice; the TD may be an identity of an application, application server network domain name information, application server address information, etc. The service information corresponding to the special network slice records the corresponding relation between the special network slice and the application which can use the special network slice, after receiving the service information corresponding to the special network slice sent by the service platform, the other user terminals end the application of the original PDU session, establish a new PDU session for the application by using the special network slice based on the service information corresponding to the special network slice, and then the application can be operated on the corresponding special network slice.

In this embodiment, after the service platform returns service information corresponding to the private network slice to the other user terminal based on the slice subscription request, the other user terminal updates its own terminal routing policy based on the service information corresponding to the private network slice, specifically, ends the application of the original PDU session, and uses the private network slice to establish a new PDU session for the application.

In a specific embodiment, the slice subscription request further includes a selection result of the local user for multiple types of private network slice selection.

Accordingly, step S204B includes the following steps B1 and B2.

B1. Generating service information corresponding to a special network slice conforming to a selection result for the other users based on the other user identifications and the selection result of the local user for the special network slices of a plurality of types in the slice subscription request;

B2. and sending the service information corresponding to the special network slice conforming to the selection result to the other user terminals.

In this embodiment, the first user may select one type of dedicated network slice from multiple types of dedicated network slices according to the actual requirement of the second user, and add the slice selection result to the slice subscription request, and send the slice subscription request to the service platform by the first user terminal; and the service platform provides corresponding special network slicing service for the second user based on the slicing selection result in the slicing subscription request, so that the second user is provided with the slicing service required by the second user.

In a specific embodiment, before step S204, the following step S206 is further included.

S206, receiving parameter information of the optimal slice sent by the other user terminals.

Accordingly, step S204B includes the following steps B3 and B4.

B3. Generating service information corresponding to a special network slice conforming to the parameter information of the optimal slice for the other user based on the other user identification and the parameter information of the optimal slice sent by the other user terminal in the slice subscription request;

B4. and sending the service information corresponding to the special network slice which accords with the parameter information of the optimal slice to the other user terminals.

Wherein, the steps B1 and B2 and the steps B3 and B4 are two parallel schemes, and one scheme can be selected and used by a person skilled in the art according to actual requirements.

In this embodiment, the second user may generate parameter information of the optimal slice according to the own requirement, and send the parameter information to the service platform; and the service platform provides corresponding special network slicing service for the second user according to the parameter information of the optimal slice sent by the second user terminal, so that the second user is provided with the slicing service required by the second user.

In addition, the second user may subscribe to the private network slice itself.

In response to the private network slice subscribed by the second user, when the private network slice subscribed by the first user for the second user is available at the same time, the second user terminal may preferentially use the private network slice subscribed by the second user or may preferentially use the private network slice subscribed by the first user for the second user. Specifically, when a plurality of special network slices are available at the same time, the second user can set the order of priority of using the special network slices in advance, or the second user terminal prompts the second user to select one special network slice through a popup window.

For a special network slice subscribed by a first user for a second user, the second user can define parameters of an optimal slice in advance and send the parameters to a service platform; the service platform selects an optimal slice from a plurality of special network slices available to the second user according to the definition of the optimal slice, and sends service information corresponding to the optimal slice to the second user terminal; the service information corresponding to the optimal slice may further include an optimal slice label in addition to a special network slice identifier (S-nsai), and then the special network slice with the optimal slice label may be preferentially used when the second user terminal has a plurality of special network slices available. The optimal slice may be a slice with highest security, a slice with lowest delay, a slice with highest speed, and the like in a plurality of special network slices available to the second user, which is not limited in the present invention.

The order page should provide a variety of slice options for user a to select.

S302, the platform judges the relation between the user A and the user B, and if any one of the following conditions (no sequence) is met, the step S303 is executed; otherwise, step S304 is performed.

1) User a and user B have a specific relationship on real-name authentication or package affiliation.

The fact that the real-name authentication has a specific relationship means that the mobile phone numbers of the user A and the user B are the same person in the real-name authentication.

The package affiliated existence specific relation means that the user B is a sub card of the user A, or the user A and the user B belong to the same family package.

2) In the address book of the terminal of the user B or in the information sent to the user A by the user B, the user A is a specific name.

The user B terminal may periodically upload the address book to the platform, or after step 1, the platform may send information for calling the mobile phone number corresponding to the user a in the address book to the user B terminal, and the information is returned to the platform by the user B.

The information sent by the user B and the user A can be short messages, multimedia messages, 5G messages, micro messages and the like.

The specific references refer to references such as dad, son, etc. that make it possible to clarify the relationship between users.

3) In the communication record for user B, user a is a close contact to his TOP N.

In this step, the communication record may be a short message, a multimedia message, a 5G message, a micro message, a call, etc. The communication record of the user B refers to a record of the communication actively initiated by the user B.

N may be 1, 2, 3, etc.

S303, the platform orders slices for the user B through the user A.

S304, the platform cannot order the slice for the user B through the user A, informs the user A, and then ends the flow.

S305, the platform sends service information corresponding to the slice to the terminal of the user B.

In this step, the service information includes at least S-NSSAI. S-NSSAI is the identity of a network slice. After receiving the service information corresponding to the slice, the terminal of the user B updates the terminal routing strategy, and then the slice can be used.

Optionally, when the slice subscribed by the user B and the slice subscribed by the user a for the user B are available at the same time, the user B may preferentially use the slice subscribed by itself, and may also use the optimal slice.

The user B may set in advance whether to use the slice ordered by itself or the optimal slice, or the terminal may prompt the user to select through a popup window when multiple selections occur.

The optimal slice may be the highest security slice, the lowest latency slice, the fastest rate slice, etc. of the plurality of slices. The definition of the optimal slice may be set in advance by the user. And selecting an optimal slice from the available slices of the plurality of users by the platform according to the definition of the optimal slice, and sending service information corresponding to the slice to the terminal of the user B, wherein the service information at least comprises S-NSSAI and an optimal slice label. When a terminal has a plurality of slices available, the slice with the best slice label is preferentially used.
