具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
图1为本发明实施例的一个通信系统100的结构示意图,如图1所示,本实施例的通信系统100可以包括移动性管理功能实体101和会话管理功能实体102,其中,移动性管理功能实体101与会话管理功能实体102通信连接,移动性管理功能实体101可以根据第一多接入指示信息和标识信息确定用户设备在第一通信网络已注册且发起了在第二通信网络的注册,或者可以根据接入类型指示信息和标识信息确定用户设备在第一通信网络已注册且发起了在第二通信网络的注册,执行所述用户设备在所述第二通信网络的注册流程,从而实现用户设备在第一通信网络和第二通信网络的多接入注册,以满足用户设备在第一通信网络与第二通信网络多注册的需求。在用户设备在第一通信网络与第二通信网络注册成功后,会话管理功能实体102可以接收移动性管理功能实体101发送的第二传输消息,所述第二传输消息包括用户设备的永久标识和PDU会话建立请求信息,所述PDU会话建立请求信息包括所述会话标识和所述第二多接入指示信息,所述第二多接入指示信息用于指示所述用户设备请求为所述会话标识对应的会话业务建立多接入PDU会话,会话管理功能实体102根据所述PDU会话建立请求信息为所述会话标识对应的会话业务建立多接入会话,从而可以实现多接入会话的建立。
可选的,图1所示的系统还可以包括用户设备、第二通信网络的接入网设备等,其中,用户设备在第一通信网络注册成功且需要在第二通信网络注册时,向第二通信网络的接入网设备发送注册请求消息,该注册请求消息具体包括第一多接入指示信息和标识信息,接入网设备根据所述标识信息选择所述第一通信网络的移动性管理功能实体101,所述接入网设备向所述移动性管理功能实体101发送该第一传输消息,该第一传输消息包括注册请求消息和接入类型指示信息,所述移动性管理功能实体101接收该第一传输消息,以实现用户设备在第一通信网络和第二通信网络的多接入注册。可选的,该第一传输消息还可以包括上述PDU会话建立请求信息,以实现多接入会话的建立。
需要说明的是,上述图1所示的系统中的移动性管理功能实体、会话管理功能实体等仅是一个名字,名字对设备本身不构成限定。在未来的5G网络以及未来其它的网络中,移动性管理功能实体、会话管理功能实体所对应的网元或实体也可以是其他的名字,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,该移动性管理功能实体还有可能被替换为移动性管理功能或者移动性管理等,该会话管理功能实体还有可能被替换为会话管理功能或者会话管理等,在此进行统一说明,以下不再赘述。在5G网络中该移动性管理功能实体的具体表现形式可以是接入与移动性管理功能实体(Core Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF),该会话管理功能实体的具体表现形式可以是会话管理功能实体(Session Management Function,SMF)。下述实施例具体采用AMF和SMF对本发明实施例的多接入场景中的连接处理方法进行具体解释说明。
图2为本发明实施例的另一个系统架构示意图,图2所示的系统架构可以是图1所示的通信系统的一种具体表现形式,如图2所示,本实施例的系统架构可以称为5G网络架构,该网络架构不但支持3GPP标准组定义的无线技术(如LTE,5G RAN等)接入核心网络侧,本发明实施例的核心网络侧可以称为5G核心网络侧(5G Core network),而且支持non-3GPP接入技术通过non-3GPP转换功能实体(non-3GPP Interworking Function,N3IWF)或下一代接入网关(next Generation packet data Gateway,ngPDG)或固网接入网关或可信non3GPP接入网关接入核心网络侧。即本发明实施例的系统架构支持UE通过不同的接入技术接入5G核心网络侧。其中核心网功能分为用户面网元功能实体(User plane function,UPF)与控制面网元功能实体(Control plane function,CPF)。用户面网元功能实体主要负责分组数据包的转发、QoS控制、或计费信息统计等。控制面网元功能实体主要负责用户注册认证、移动性管理、向用户面(UPF)下发数据包转发策略、或QoS控制策略等。其中,CPF可以进一步细分为接入与移动性管理功能实体(Core Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)与会话管理功能实体(Session Management Function,SMF)。具体的,AMF负责用户接入时的注册流程及用户移动过程中的位置管理。SMF负责用户发起业务时核心网络侧建立相应的会话连接,为用户提供具体服务等。此外,核心网络侧还可以包括独立的鉴权认证功能实体(Authentication Server Function,AUSF),负责用户注册时基于用户签约数据中的鉴权向量对用户真实性进行认证。用户签约数据存储在用户签约数据管理功能实体(Subscriber/User Data Management,SDM/UDM)中,其中鉴权认证相关的密钥和鉴权向量存储在鉴权证书库中(Authentication Credential Repository and Processing Function,ARPF)。

上述接入技术可以通过接入类型信息或无线接入类型信息进行指示。其中,接入类型信息也可以称之为接入类型指示信息。
具体的,如图2所示,UE可以通过RAN和/或N3IWF与AMF连接,AMF分别与SMF、SDM/UDM和ARPF连接,SMF与UPF连接,UPF与数据网络(Data Network,DN)连接,DN具体可以是Internet,也可以是IMS网络。
如图2所示,系统架构中的接口和连接包括:NG1、NG2、NG3、NG4、和NG11。其中,NG1为用户设备和AMF之间的控制面连接,用于传输用户设备和核心网控制面之间的控制信令,具体的NG1连接中的消息可以由UE和RAN之间的连接、RAN和AMF之间的NG2连接进行传输,或者可以由UE和N3IWF之间的连接、N3IWF和AMF之间的NG2连接进行传输。NG2为RAN和AMF之间的控制面连接,N3IWF和AMF之间的控制面连接,用于传输核心网控制面和RAN或者N3IWF之间的控制信令,以及支持UE和核心网控制面之间的NG1连接。NG3为RAN、N3IWF和用户面功能之间的连接,用于支持为用户设备建立的协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,简称PDU)会话连接。NG4为SMF和用户面功能之间的连接,用于传递SMF和用户面功能之间的控制信令。NG11为AMF和SMF之间的连接,用于传输会话业务相关的控制信令。
具体的,如图2所示的AMF、SMF以及UE可以执行下述方法实施例的步骤以实现UE从non-3GPP注册成功后再次连接到3GPP侧时,网络侧可以实现UE在3GPP侧与non-3GPP侧多注册。或者,实现UE从3GPP注册成功后再次连接到non-3GPP侧时,网络侧可以实现UE在3GPP侧与non-3GPP侧多注册。
进一步的,还可以实现在UE多注册的前提下同时实现多接入会话建立,节省会话建立时延,有效提升用户业务体验。

本文所涉及的“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所涉及的Non-3GPP接入网关名称可以为上述N3IWF,也可以为ngPDG,还可以是其他支持non-3GPP接入的名称,本发明实施例对此不作限制。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所涉及的多接入注册,也可以称之为多区域注册,即“多接入”可以采用“多区域”替换,本发明实施例对此不作限制。
需要说明的是,本发明实例所涉及的“第一传输消息”和“第二传输消息”仅用于区分不同接口的传输消息,其消息名称并不以此作为限制。
图3为本发明实施例提供的一种AMF 200的结构示意图,该AMF 200包括:至少一个处理器201、至少一个网络接口203、存储器204和至少一个通信总线202。通信总线202用于实现这些组件之间的连接通信。存储器204可以包括只读存储器和随机存取存储器,并向处理器201提供指令和数据。存储器204的一部分还可以包括非易失性随机存取存储器(NVRAM)。
在本发明实施例中,通过调用存储器204存储的程序或指令,处理器201用于执行下述方法实施例的步骤,从而可以实现用户设备在第一通信网络注册成功后再次连接注册至第二通信网络,进而实现用户设备在第一通信网络和第二通信网络的多接入注册,以满足用户设备在第一通信网络与第二通信网络多注册的需求,具体实现过程可以参见下述各方法实施例。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例的上述AMF也可以采用网络功能虚拟化(Network Function Virtualization,简称NFV)技术实现。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所涉及的AMF、SMF和UPF,均可能由一个实体设备实现,也可能由多个实体设备共同实现,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。即,可以理解的是,本发明实施例中的AMF、SMF、UPF等,都可能是实体设备内的一个逻辑功能模块,也可能是由多个实体设备组成的一个逻辑功能模块,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
本文所涉及的“第一通信网络”和“第二通信网络”仅用于区分不同的通信网络,其中,“第一通信网络”用于表示UE已注册的网络,“第二通信网络”用于表示UE已注册到第一通信网络后,向另一个通信网络的注册的网络。第一通信网络和第二通信网络可以是不同的接入网相同的核心网,即如图2所示,UE可以通过不同的接入网设备接入核心网。举例而言,当第一通信网络为3GPP网络,第一通信网络的接入网设备即为RAN设备,那么第二通信网络为Non-3GPP网络,第二通信网络的接入网设备即为N3IWF,换言之,当第一通信网络为Non-3GPP网络,第一通信网络的接入网设备即为N3IWF,那么第二通信网络为3GPP网络,第二通信网络的接入网即为RAN。
图4为本发明实施例一种多接入场景中的连接处理方法的流程图,如图4所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
步骤101、用户设备在第一通信网络注册成功且需要在第二通信网络注册时,所述用户设备向所述第二通信网络的接入网设备发送注册请求消息或参数。第二通信网络的接入 网设备接收该注册请求消息或参数。
其中,所述注册请求消息或参数中具体可以包括第一多接入指示信息和标识信息。

其中,如果用户设备向所述第二通信网络的接入网设备发送的是上述参数,第二通信网络的接入网设备接收该参数,则由该接入网设备根据该参数生成该注册请求消息。
步骤102、所述接入网设备根据所述标识信息选择所述第一通信网络的AMF。
具体的,由于用户设备已经在第一通信网络注册成功且需要在第二通信网络注册,要实现用户设备在第二通信网络的注册,首先接入网设备需要根据标识信息确定AMF,该AMF为用户设备在第一通信网络注册的AMF,该AMF上存储有该UE的上下文信息和签约信息。

方式三,所述AMF根据所述接入类型指示信息、所述第一多接入指示信息和所述标识信息确定所述用户设备在第一通信网络已注册且发起了在第二通信网络的注册。
本实施例,用户设备在第一通信网络注册成功且需要在第二通信网络注册时,向第二通信网络的接入网设备发送注册请求消息,该注册请求消息具体包括第一多接入指示信息和标识信息,接入网设备根据所述标识信息选择所述第一通信网络的AMF,所述接入网设备向所述AMF发送第一传输消息,所述第一传输消息包括注册请求消息和接入类型指示信息,所述AMF根据所述接入类型指示信息和所述标识信息、或者所述第一多接入指示信息和所述标识信息确定所述用户设备在第一通信网络已注册且发起了在第二通信网络的注册,执行所述用户设备在所述第二通信网络的注册流程,从而可以实现用户设备在第一通信网络注册成功后再次连接注册至第二通信网络,从而实现用户设备在第一通信网络和第二通信网络的多接入注册,以满足用户设备在第一通信网络与第二通信网络多注册的需求。
