Description

Authorization information configuration method, device, network element device and computer storage medium

Technical field

The present invention relates to a mobile communication technology, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a network element device, and a computer storage medium for configuring authorization information.

Background technique

With the development of wireless multimedia services, people's demand for high data rates and user experience is increasing, which puts high demands on the system capacity and coverage of traditional cellular networks. On the other hand, the popularity of applications such as social networking, near-field data sharing, and local advertising has led to an increasing demand for people who understand and communicate with nearby people (such as proximity services). Traditional base station-centric cellular networks have significant limitations in supporting high data rates and Proximity Services. In this context, devices and devices that represent a new direction for future communication technologies (D2D, Device) -to-Device) technology came into being. The application of D2D technology can reduce the burden of cellular networks, reduce the battery power consumption of user equipment, increase the data rate, and improve the robustness of the network infrastructure, which satisfies the requirements of the above high data rate services and proximity services.

In the architecture of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the network elements related to the D2D service mainly include: a terminal, also called a user equipment (UE, User Equipment); a base station, also called an evolved system. The eNB (evolved NodeB) functions to provide radio resources for the access of the terminal, and communicates with the mobility management unit of the core network through the S1 interface. The core network provides non-access layer management, and the Prose server provides functions such as registration and authorization of D2D services. The process of the service authorization is performed by the terminal through the PC3 interface of the Prose function of the Prose server, and the authorization information is based on a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN); therefore, at a certain A terminal that is authorized by a PLMN is not necessarily authorized in another PLMN.

A multi-PLMN (Multiple PLMN) scenario is supported in the prior art. For example, for a single UE, the UE may reside in multiple networks, and the supported Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list is called, etc. Price PLMN list (EPLMN list, Equivalent PLMN list). Although the UE may camp or establish a connection in the equivalent PLMN list network, since the authorization of the D2D service is based on the PLMN, the terminal is not allowed to use the D2D service if the unlicensed PLMN resides. The base station that supports the D2D function needs to perform authorization check on the D2D service request sent by the terminal. In the handover process, it is also required to check whether the cut-in PLMN satisfies the authorization of the UE. The existing protocol does not consider how to configure D2D authorization information when the base station supports multiple PLMN scenarios. That is to say, in the prior art, the D2D authorization function cannot support multiple PLMN scenarios.

Embodiment 1

In this embodiment, the method for configuring the D2D authorization information is further described in detail by taking the UE accessing the network as an example. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for configuring authorization information according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

Step 21: After the eNB and the MME establish an S1 link, or after the eNB and the MME establish an S1 link, the eNB sends indication information indicating whether the D2D function is supported to the MME.

Here, the method for sending the indication information that supports the D2D function to the MME is: when the eNB and the MME establish an S1 link, specifically, the eNB sends an S1 setup request (S1SETUP REQUEST) message to the MME. The S1 setup request carries indication information that the eNB supports the D2D function; the MME receives and saves the indication information.

Another way of transmitting the indication information supporting the D2D function to the MME is that after the eNB and the MME establish an S1 link, the eNB sends a base station configuration upgrade (eNB CONFIGURATION UPDATE) message to the MME, The base station configuration upgrade message carries indication information about whether the eNB supports the D2D function, and the MME receives and saves the indication information.

Step 22: The UE initiates a radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment procedure in the cell under the eNB, and completes the establishment of the radio connection. The current serving PLMN (ie, Serving PLMN, or RPLMN) of the UE is completed. Recorded as PLMN1.

And other business.

Step 25: The MME sends an initial UE context setup request (Initial UE Context Setup Request) message to the eNB, where the initial UE context setup request message carries the D2D license permission range indication information of the UE.

Here, the MME queries the saved indication information of whether the D2D function is supported, and determines whether the eNB supports the D2D function. When the judgment result is that the eNB supports the D2D function, the MME carries the initial UE context setup request message. The D2D authorization indication information of the UE, and the D2D authorization permission range indication information of the UE, the D2D authorization permission range indication information includes PLMN list information for allowing D2D service; and the eNB receives the initial UE context establishment. After the request message, the D2D authorization permission range indication information of the UE carried in the initial UE context setup request message is stored;

When the result of the judgment is that the eNB does not support the D2D function, the D2D authorization indication information of the UE is not carried in the initial UE context setup request message, and the D2D authorization permission range indication information of the UE is not carried.

The D2D authorization indication information of the UE is specifically the authorization information that the UE is allowed to use the D2D service in the current serving PLMN (PLMN1); the D2D authorization permission range indication information of the UE is that the UE is allowed to use the D2D service. Information about all PLMNs, including the current serving PLMN (ie PLMN1).

The D2D authorization permission range indication information may be combined with the D2D authorization indication information in a process of transmitting the D2D authorization indication information and the D2D authorization permission range indication information by using the initial UE context setup request message. In the field, you can also be in a separate field. The merging in one field means that the PLMN list information that the terminal is allowed to use the D2D service is added in the authorization indication field of the initial UE context setup request message. The independent field in a field means that two fields are carried in the same message body, one field is used to carry the authorization indication information, and the other field is used to carry the D2D authorization permission range indication information; The message body is, for example, the initial UE in the embodiment. The text establishes a request message.

In this embodiment, the initial UE context setup request message carries the D2D authorization permission range indication information and the D2D authorization information, and in another implementation manner, the initial UE context setup request message may also be The D2D authorization indication information is carried in the network, and the D2D authorization indication information may be omitted in the initial UE context establishment request message.

Specifically, the D2D license permission range indication information may be an index or bitmap information of a PLMN having an authorized license, and the index or the object of the bitmap may be an equivalent PLMN list supported by the UE, for example, All PLMN lists supported by the eNB; the eNB may find corresponding PLMN identification information according to the index or the bitmap. For example, the PLMN list supported by the UE and/or the PLMN indicated by all PLMN lists supported by the eNB include: PLMN1, PLMN2, and PLMN3.

Step 26: The eNB initiates an RRC connection reconfiguration process to the UE, and completes establishment of the radio bearer.

Step 27: The eNB sends an Initial UE Message Response (MME) message to the MME to complete the context establishment of the UE.
