Detailed Description
The present disclosure now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the disclosure are shown. The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
The following "first", "second", etc. are used merely to describe differences and are not otherwise specifically meant.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating an embodiment of a terminal access control method according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1:
step 101, the amf (Access and Mobility Management function ) obtains location information of the terminal during a process that the terminal connects to the 3GPP network through the selected first non-3GPP network node.
In one embodiment, the terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like; the first non-3GPP network node includes an N3IWF or the like; the location information of the terminal includes tracking area TA (Tracking Area) information of the 3GPP access network corresponding to the location of the terminal, namely TA information of the 5G network corresponding to the location of the terminal; the 3GPP network may be a 5GC network or the like.
The AMF may obtain address information and/or domain name information corresponding to the non-3GPP network node during establishment of an NG interface connection with the non-3GPP network node, or during a radio access network configuration update with the non-3GPP network node. The AMF may acquire the location information of the terminal in various methods. For example, if the terminal selects based on location when selecting the N3IWF, the terminal transmits current location information to the AMF in a registration procedure.
The terminal may send an authorization request message to the first non-3GPP network node by using an existing method, where the authorization request message carries a registration request. The AMF receives a registration request sent by the terminal through a first non-3GPP network node, the information carried by the registration request comprises the position information of the terminal, and the AMF extracts the position information of the terminal from the registration request.
Step 102, the amf reselects the second non-3GPP network node and informs the terminal based on the location information of the terminal and the information of the first non-3GPP network node, so that the terminal accesses the 3GPP network through the second non-3GPP network node.
In one embodiment, the second non-3GPP network node includes an N3IWF or the like. The AMF can obtain the IP addresses and/or the fully qualified domain names FQDN of all available N3 IWFs in the network. The AMF acquires the current position of the terminal, and can reselect a proper new N3IWF for the terminal by combining the position information, wherein the reselected N3IWF is possibly nearest to the terminal, so that the terminal is guided to be connected to the 5GC through the new N3IWF by adopting various existing methods.
Fig. 2 is a flow diagram of a reselection of a second non-3GPP network node in one embodiment of a terminal access control method according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2:
step 201, the amf determines a second non-3GPP network node based on the location information of the terminal and the information of the first non-3GPP network node and according to the node selection rule.
In one embodiment, the AMF is in a registration procedure for non-3GPP access of the terminal, if the AMF considers that the current use of the N3IWF by the terminal is unsuitable (e.g., is far away from the terminal and cannot support the services required by the terminal) and needs to reselect a new N3IWF. The node selection rules used by the AMF include rules that meet service requirements and/or distance requirements of the terminal, and the distance requirements may include requirements that are closer to the terminal.
For example, when the terminal accesses in a non-3GPP manner, the AMF can reselect a more suitable N3IWF for the terminal according to the network and the service requirement and in combination with the current location of the terminal, so as to help the terminal select a better N3IWF (for example, can satisfy the location more recently and satisfy the service requirement) through the non-3GPP access, so that the new N3IWF satisfies both the service requirement and the new N3IWF with the location more recently, so that the terminal accesses to the core network through the new N3IWF.
In step 202, the amf sends information of the second non-3GPP network node to the terminal through the first non-3GPP network node.
In one embodiment, the first non-3GPP network node information and the second non-3GPP network node information include an IP address and/or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name, full name). After receiving the information of the second non-3GPP network node, the terminal disconnects the first non-3GPP network node, and connects the second non-3GPP network node based on the information of the second non-3GPP network node for accessing the 3GPP network.
Fig. 3 is a schematic signaling interaction flow diagram of one embodiment of a terminal access control method according to the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3:
in step 301, the terminal sends an ike_auth request to the N3IWF1, and the N3IWF1 sends a registration request to the AMF. The ike_auth request carries various parameters and a registration request including TA information of the terminal in the current 3GPP network.
In one embodiment, after the terminal selects the N3IWF1 based on the location by using existing methods, the terminal carries the location information of the current terminal in the registration request sent to the AMF through the selected N3IWF1, where the location information is TA information of the current 3GPP network. For example, the terminal selects an N3IWF based on its own policy (e.g., access network discovery and selection policy ANDSP configured in the terminal), and selects the N3IWF1 closest to the terminal based on its current location. The terminal initiates a registration flow to the AMF through the N3IWF1, and the registration request is contained in an IKE_AUTH request message sent to the N3IWF1 by the terminal. The terminal carries the current location of the terminal in the registration request Registration Request, and the location of the terminal may be represented by TA information of the 3GPP network.
In step 302, the amf decides to reselect the target N3IWF and selects a new N3IWF based on TA information of the terminal's current 3GPP network.
In one embodiment, if the AMF considers that the N3IWF1 needs to be reselected (e.g., the N3IWF1 cannot support the service required by the terminal, or the N3IWF1 is far from the terminal), the AMF selects the N3IWF2 that can meet the service requirement, or is closer to the terminal, in combination with the received location information of the current terminal.
In step 303, the amf sends Registration Accept/Reject message to the terminal through the N3IWF1, and the Registration Accept/Reject message carries the identification information or IP address of the N3IWF2. The AMF sends the information (FQDN identification or IP address) of the reselected N3IWF2 to the terminal, which initiates registration with the AMF using the new N3IWF2, and registers to the 5GC through the N3IWF2.
In step 304, the terminal sends Registration Request message to the AMF through the N3IWF2. The terminal receives the information of the N3IWF2, disconnects the connection with the N3IWF1 and reconnects to the N3IWF2, and initiates a registration flow to the 5GC.
The amf sends Registration Accept a message to the terminal through the N3IWF2, step 305. The terminal completes registration at 5GC.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the present disclosure provides an AMF40 comprising an information acquisition module 41 and a node reselection module 42. The information obtaining module 41 obtains location information of the terminal in a process that the terminal connects to the 3GPP network through the selected first non-3GPP network node. The node reselection module 42 reselects the second non-3GPP network node based on the location information of the terminal and the information of the first non-3GPP network node and informs the terminal so that the terminal accesses the 3GPP network through the second non-3GPP network node.
In one embodiment, the information obtaining module 41 receives a registration request sent by the terminal through the first non-3GPP network node, where the information carried by the registration request includes location information of the terminal. The information acquisition module 41 extracts the location information of the terminal from the registration request. The node reselection module 42 determines a second non-3GPP network node based on the location information of the terminal and the information of the first non-3GPP network node and according to the node selection rule. The node reselection module 42 sends information of the second non-3GPP network node to the terminal through the first non-3GPP network node.
