Field 103: IMSI; Field 104: IMEI;

Field 105: authentication check code;

Field 106: Subscription Agent Server IP Address; And

Field 107: Subscription agent server application port number.

Based on the above-described server-side component, the service subscription process of the MTC device according to the present embodiment may include the following processing:

1. Initialize the MTC device to obtain configuration information.

The MTC device is also referred to as an MTC terminal, and is an Internet of Things communication terminal based on a 3GPP wireless cellular network.

The configuration information includes IMEI, the country code IMSI_MCC in the SIM card, and the network code IMSI_MNC, IMSI.

MTC devices generally have two modes of operation: WAKE-UP MODE and Sleep Mode. MTC devices generally do not have a large amount of data transmission, and due to power saving and low mobility requirements, MTC devices Is mainly operated in dormant mode, i.e., there is no direct signaling or data connection to the system network, only when operating in wake-up mode, and only when data or signaling is transmitted, an access connection to the system core network is established.

2. The MTC device performs initial network access and initial network registration.

The MTC device transmits a registration message to the core network element, and the core network element checks the authentication result to the MTC server, and the MTC server is deployed by a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) operator, or by the administrator of the MTC server. It can be provided and uses one specific APN (Access Point Name, Access Point). In general, the MTC server is connected to the core network element of the operator's network, manages and maintains MTC devices, and processes MTC application data.

3. After the MTC device is normally registered, it sleeps periodically and enters the sleep mode according to the discontinuous reception (DRX) period transmitted by the core network element and the sleep strategy of the MTC server.

The MTC device periodically sleeps according to the DRX cycle of the paging message transmitted by the network, disconnects the network, releases network resources, reduces the power consumption of the terminal, and wakes the network UE power saving mode. Only when the power saving wakeup timer times out, the MTC device wakes up to check whether a data connection or signaling connection is required, and then enters an operation mode.

4. When the user needs to modify the service provider information of the MTC device, an application is sent, and the administrator modifies the service provider of the target MTC device through the device management module.

The administrator modifies the service provider application of the target MTC device through the service configuration module.

5. The device management module sends a wake-up request to the target MTC device, forcibly wakes up the target device, and transmits agent service subscription server information to the target MTC device.

The device management module is a series of application programs in the device management server, and provides a series of operable interfaces so that the administrator can check the service subscription status provided in the MTC terminal device.

Sending a paging message (PAGING REQUEST) to the MTC device to request a wake-up, including subscription information IMSI and IMEI of the target MTC device, and agent subscription service information including an agent server address and a target port number; The server address is the network address of the subscribing agent server, the different service providers have different port number information in the agent subscription service information element, and the port number represents the processing process of different operators or service providers.

The subscription agent module is a series of applications in the subscription agent server, provides a series of application program processes for client-side connection, can provide the necessary protocol gateway data conversion, and transmits a request to the target operator subscription server. At the same time, requesting the target operator to issue a number or providing a list of operator service numbers, a cancellation request is sent to the original subscription operator.

6. The MTC device is the current wake-up authentication information (the authentication information includes IMEI, IMSI, and a check authentication code, also known as an authentication code, and the authentication code is generated by the network, and the MTC receives the authentication code and then the SIM Calculates the result according to the operator subscription data algorithm in the card and transmits the network verification), and after the security authentication passes, it responds to a confirmation message to the network, and access includes the target operator information, that is, the port number. Sends a request message to the target agent subscription server.

7. The subscription agent module sends a request for issuance of a number to the target operator's network according to the connection request message, and at the same time sends a service cancellation request to the original operator. You can know the original operator.

The subscription agent module parses the information of the current connection and distributes it to different processing processes according to the port number information, and the different port numbers represent the processing processes of different operators or service providers, and are included in IMEI and IMSI. Accordingly, after confirming the target device, transmits a request to the target operator network; At the same time, it sends a request for number release to the original service provider to withdraw from the required service.

8. After receiving the number issuance request, the target operator performs identity authentication, then issues the number, and sends number issuance data (ie, subscription data) to the requested MTC device.

Number issuance data is mainly transmitted to the MTC device through TCP/IP data packets, and the MTC device performs identity authentication, updates the operator information and authentication information in the virtual SIM circuit through the SIM management module, and switches to a new subscription operator. do.

9. After the original request MTC device receives the number issuance data, it notifies the SIM management module to update the operator information in the virtual SIM circuit and performs service switching at the same time.

Virtual SIM is a SIM management method without a traditional real SIM. It realizes simulation of various functions of the SIM card and data storage through a series of hardware circuits, and the virtual SIM is directly embedded in the terminal at the time of shipment, and a series of security application programming It provides an interface to modify SIM card information and applications.

Can be prevented.

Step 906: The identity authentication result of the server is checked, and if the identity authentication passes, step 907 is executed, otherwise step 902 is executed.

Step 907: The access module initiates an access request to the target subscription agent service.

The access module sends a connection request to the subscription agent server included in the forced wakeup paging message, and includes its own IMEI, IMSI, and port number information during the request.

Step 908: The access request result is checked, and if the access is successful, step 909 is executed, and if the access is unsuccessful, step 907 is executed.

Step 909: It is determined in a loop whether or not number issuance data has been issued, and if there is, step 910 is executed, otherwise step 909 is executed.

Step 910: The virtual SIM management module performs SIM update and updates number issuance data.

The virtual SIM management module updates number issuance data, subscription data, new key data, and operator SIM card file information transmitted by the server, records and stores it in the virtual SIM circuit, and deletes the original subscription data.

Step 911: After rebooting, the update result is notified to the server side.
