Description

核心网控制面设备选择方法和装置
本申请要求于2017年03月17日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710162069.8、申请名称为“核心网控制面设备选择方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种核心网控制面设备选择方法和装置。
背景技术
网络切片技术是一种利用虚拟网络功能(Virtual Network Function,VNF),在同一网络基础设施上提供多种虚拟逻辑网络切片的技术,不同种类的网络切片在功能、性能、安全、运维等方面具有不同的网络特征,使得不同用户设备可以按照各自的需求接入不同的网络切片,保障了不同业务的服务质量需求。
用户设备需通过注册在管理设备上以接入到网络切片中。通常根据用户设备的签约数据确定用户设备接入的源网络切片以及注册的源管理设备。当用户设备的签约数据发生变化时,可能存在用户设备接入的源网络切片无法满足用户设备的需求的情况。此时需根据用户设备更新的签约数据,触发用户设备发起重定向流程,以重定向到新网络切片中的新管理设备上。
终端设备在上述重定向过程中,源管理设备可以根据签约数据确定目标网络切片的目标管理设备,由于源管理设备存储有终端设备的上下文信息,新管理设备可以向源管理设备请求获取终端设备的上下文。但是当源网络切片和新网络切片之间具有隔离性需求时,会出现源网络切片无法根据签约数据确定目标网络切片的情况,在这种情况下,若终端设备仍采用上述重定向方法,则存在新管理设备访问源管理设备以获取终端设备的上下文的现象,影响了源网络切片和新网络切片之间的隔离性,降低了网络切片的安全。
发明内容
本申请提供一种核心网控制面设备选择方法和装置,用于解决现有终端设备在重定向过程中,影响了网络切片的安全性的问题。
第一方面,本申请提供一种核心网控制面设备选择方法,包括:
源核心网控制面设备获取终端设备的第一网络切片选择辅助信息,
若所述源核心网控制面设备无法确定所述第一网络切片选择辅助信息所索引的目标核心网控制面设备,所述源核心网控制面设备向所述终端设备发送所述第一网络切片选择辅助信息以及第一指示信息,以触发所述终端设备发送第一注册请求消息,其中,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述终端设备的临时标识无效,所述第一注册请求消息携带所述第一 网络切片选择辅助信息和所述终端设备的永久标识。
源核心网控制面设备在接收到指示目标核心网控制面设备的第一NSSAI,若无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备之后,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送用于指示终端设备的临时标识设置无效的第一指示信息,使得终端设备向接入网设备发送携带有第一NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识的注册请求消息,从而避免了目标核心网设备在接收到临时标识后,向源核心网控制面设备请求终端设备的上下文信息,杜绝了源核心网控制面设备和目标核心网控制面设备之间的信息交互,提高了网络切片之间的安全性,也提高了终端设备重定向到目标核心网控制面的流程效率,节约了信令。
在一种可能的实施方式中,源核心网控制面设备获知源核心网控制面设备与目标核心网控制面设备之间需要隔离之后,方法还包括:
所述源核心网控制面设备将所述终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
由于源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效,后续终端设备发起注册请求消息时,该注册请求消息中将不再携带终端设备的临时标识。避免了目标核心网控制面设备根据临时标识获取源核心网控制面设备的地址,并访问源核心网控制面设备以获取终端设备的上下文,从而提高了网络切片安全隔离性。

具体实施方式
本申请描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请的技术方案,并不构成对本申请提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
下面结合图1对本申请实施例可能适用的系统架构进行介绍。图1示出了本申请实施例可能适用的一种系统架构。如图1所示,本实施例提供的系统架构包括至少一个终端设备、至少一个接入网设备、至少一个核心网控制面设备、至少一个缺省核心网控制面设备,以及至少一个用户数据管理中心设备。
在通信系统中,为适应不同的业务对网络性能不同的要求,网络需要具备按需制定的能力,需要能实现不同功能的网络切片。通信系统的发展趋势是通过虚拟化技术,为不同类型的业务建立不同的网络切片。每个网络切片可以看作是一个完整的网络,不同类型的业务所对应的网络切片可以采用不同的网络形态。例如,在数据面或信令面采用不同的协议栈结构,以更好地匹配业务的特征。网络切片在数据面进行划分,共享共同的控制面功能。网络切片由包括一组一个或多个网络功能和能运行这些网络功能的资源组成。
当核心网部署了网络切片,终端设备初始接入到网络时,就会触发网络切片的选择过程。网络切片的选择过程取决于终端设备的签约数据、本地配置信息、漫游协议、运营商的策略等等。终端设备可能接入一个或者多个网络切片,多个网络切片可以共享部分控制面功能,实现终端粒度的功能,如移动性管理等。当终端设备需要接入到某个网络切片时,终端设备可以提供网络切片选择辅助信息(Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,NSSAI)给核心网,用于核心网为终端设备选择网络切片实例。
其中,终端设备通过接入网设备与核心网进行通信。终端设备可以是无线终端或有线终端。无线终端可以是指向用户提供语音和/或其他业务数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终端可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,无线终端可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(Personal Communication Service,简称PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(Session Initiation Protocol,简称SIP)话机、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)、站点设备(Station,STA),在此不作限定。图1示意性的绘出了一种可能的示意,以该终端设备为移动电话为例进行了绘示。
其中,接入网设备是一种提供网络接入服务的设备,可允许终端设备通过接入网设备接入到无线网络中。终端设备通过接入网设备与核心网进行通信。接入网设备可以是全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)或码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,简称BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,简称eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点(Access Point,AP),或无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN),或者未来5G网络中的基站等,在此并不限定。图1示意性的绘出了一种可能的示意,以该接入网设备为基站为例进行了绘示。
其中,核心网控制面设备是一种为终端设备提供服务的设备,主要功能包括:移动性管理功能。例如,移动性管理功能包括移动状态管理功能、用户临时身份标识分配功能、认证和授权用户功能。一个核心网控制面设备与一个或多个网络切片关联,即,多个网络切片共享一个核心网控制面设备;终端设备通过注册在特定的核心网控制面设备来接入特定的网络切片。核心网控制面设备可以为接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)设备。
其中,用户数据管理中心设备用于存储终端设备的签约数据。例如,终端设备的签约数据包括移动管理相关的签约数据以及会话管理相关的签约数据。当终端设备的签约数据发生变化时,用户数据管理中心设备可将变化的签约数据发送给终端设备当前注册的核心网控制面设备。
其中,缺省核心网控制面设备为可以与任一核心网控制面设备通信的核心网控制面设备通信,且缺省核心网控制面设备与任一核心网控制面设备之间不存在安全隔离需求,即缺省核心网控制面设备与任一核心网控制面设备可以通信。。
结合图1,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法可以应用于以下场景中:当终端设备需要进行的业务从第一种类型的业务更新为第二种类型的业务时,终端设备原本接入的网络切片1的性能已经无法满足第二种类型的业务需求,终端设备需要重定向至 网络切片3,即终端设备需要重定向至网络切片3的核心网控制面设备4。终端设备在重定向过程中,由于源管理设备(例如核心网控制面设备1)存储有终端设备的上下文信息,新管理设备(例如核心网控制面设备4)可以向源管理设备请求获取终端设备的上下文,但是当源网络切片无法确定目标网络切片时,源网络切片和新网络切片之间可能具有隔离性需求,若终端设备仍采用上述重定向方法,则存在新管理设备访问源管理设备以获取终端设备的上下文的现象,影响了源网络切片和新网络切片之间的隔离性,降低了网络切片的安全。
其中,终端设备发起的重定向流程中,终端设备可以发送携带终端设备临时标识的注册请求消息,目标核心网控制面设备根据终端设备的临时标识确定分配该临时标识的源核心网控制面设备的标识,并向源核心网控制面设备发送终端设备的临时标识,以向源核心网控制面设备请求存储的终端设备的上下文信息。但是,当源核心网控制面设备无法确定目标核心网控制面设备时,目标核心网控制面设备与源核心网控制面设备之间可能存在隔离性需要导致二者不能通信,这样会出现目标核心网控制面设备向源核心网控制面设备请求终端设备的上下文信息失败的情况,进而影响了终端设备的重定向。只能由终端设备再次发起携带终端设备永久标识的注册请求消息,以使目标核心网控制面设备向用户数据管理中心请求终端设备的签约数据以完成重定向。故在源核心网控制面设备与目标核心网控制面设备之间存在隔离性需求导致源核心网控制面设备无法确定目标核心网控制面设备时,上述重定向方式还存在重定向步骤复杂,信令开销较大的问题。
为解决上述问题,本申请第一方面提供一种核心网控制面设备选择方法,解决了源核心网控制面设备无法确定目标核心网控制面设备时,如何解决终端设备的重定向问题。下面采用详细的实施例,对本申请提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法进行详细说明。下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
图2为本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法的信令交互图。如图2所示,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法包括如下步骤:
S201、源核心网控制面设备获取终端设备的第一NSSAI,
例如,本申请实施例中的源核心网控制面设备为终端设备当前注册的核心网控制面设备,终端设备当前接入的网络切片为源网络切片。当终端设备的签约数据变化时,源核心网控制面设备根据签约数据获取终端设备的第一NSSAI。
其中,签约数据包含鉴权信息、签约业务接入点名称信息、接入点名称对应的服务等级信息、接入限制数据信息、漫游限制信息等。示例性的,签约数据发生变化,可以为签约数据中的任一项发生了变化。当终端设备的签约数据发生变化时,代表终端设备提出了新的网络性能需求,因而可能存在源网络切片无法满足终端设备的新的需求的情况,需要重新为终端设备选择合适的网络切片。
NSSAI可用于辅助核心网为终端设备选择合适的网络切片。示例性的,NSSAI可以是预设的标准化值或公用陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)内的特定值。NSSAI还可以是会话管理网络片选择辅助信息(Session Management-NSSAI,SM-NSSAI)的集合。
当终端设备的签约信息变化时,源核心网控制面设备可确定终端设备的新的签约信息 对应的NSSAI,根据NSSAI确定目标网络切片类型,进而可为终端设备确定与目标网络切片类型关联的目标核心网控制面设备。
或者,终端设备的新的签约信息包含了第一NSSAI,源核心网控制面设备从新的签约信息直接获取第一NSSAI。
S202、源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,不同的网络切片对安全等级的要求不同,为保证安全等级要求高的网络切片中数据的安全性,该网络切片与其他网络切片之间存在隔离性需求,即两个网络切片各自包含的设备之间无法通信。当两个网络切片之间存在安全隔离时,两个网络切片之间不存在共享的核心网控制面设备。且两个网络切片内部的核心网控制面设备之间均不能通信。
为避免具有隔离性需求的网络切片之间存在交互,本申请中源核心网控制面设备触发终端设备在发起重定向流程之前,源核心网控制面设备需根据第一NSSAI判断该第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。如前所述,如果源网络切片和目标网络切片之间存在安全隔离时,源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
S203、源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备的临时标识无效。可选的,参照图2,源核心网控制面设备可以通过接入网设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息。以下各实施例中的源核心网控制面设备与终端设备之间的信令交互,均可通过接入网设备,本申请不再赘述。
可选的,在S203之前,本申请实施还包括:
S2031、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。由于终端设备的临时标识设置为无效,后续终端设备发起注册请求消息时,该注册请求消息中将不再携带终端设备的临时标识,从而避免了目标核心网控制面设备根据临时标识获取源核心网控制面设备的地址,并访问源核心网控制面设备以获取终端设备的上下文,提高了网络切片安全隔离性。
可选的,在S203之后,本申请实施还包括:
S2032、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册。例如,源核心网控制面设备删除源核心网控制面设备存储的终端设备的上下文信息,以将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册。
例如,源核心网控制面设备在向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息之后,将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册,使得源核心网控制面设备不再为终端设备提供服务。源核心网控制面设备中不再存储有终端设备的上下文信息。因此,该终端设备或任意核心网控制面设备均无法向源核心网控制面设备请求终端设备的上下文信息,避免了业务交互,提高了安全性。
S204、终端设备根据第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息,第一注册请求消息携带第一NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识。
例如,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,其中第一 NSSAI用于索引目标核心网控制面设备,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备的临时标识无效。第一NSSAI和第一指示信息用于触发终端设备发起注册请求流程。终端设备向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息,第一注册请求中携带终端设备的永久标识。示例性的,终端设备通过接入网设备向第一NSSAI指示的目标核心网控制面设备发送第一注册请求消息,以将终端设备重定向至目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,终端设备在接收到第一NSSAI和第一指示信息之后,获知终端设备的临时标识已经失效并根据第一NSSAI向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息。示例性的,终端设备发送第一注册请求消息的方式可以为:
终端设备在向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息时,可以与终端设备和接入网设备之间的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息一起发送。RRC消息中携带了第一NSSAI和终端设备所选择的PLMN。接入网设备根据RRC消息中的第一NSSAI和终端设备所选择的PLMN,确定终端设备的目标核心网控制面设备,并将第一注册请求消息转发给目标核心网控制面设备。目标核心网控制面设备收到第一注册请求后,根据终端设备的永久标识向用户数据管理中心设备请求终端设备的签约数据,并根据签约数据完成终端设备在目标核心网控制面设备上的注册流程。
其中,第一注册请求可以为非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)消息,NAS消息中携带了终端设备的永久标识以及第一NSSAI。示例性的,终端设备的永久标识可以为国际移动识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI),也可以为用户永久标识(Subscriber Permanent Identity,SUPI)。
本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法,源核心网控制面设备在接收到指示目标核心网控制面设备的第一NSSAI,若无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备,源核心网控制面设备获知与目标核心网控制面设备之间需要隔离则源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,终端设备根据第一指示信息获知终端设备的临时标识设置为无效后,向接入网设备发送携带有第一NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识的注册请求消息,从而避免了源核心网控制面设备和目标核心网控制面设备之间进行信息交互,提高了网络切片之间的安全性,也提高了终端设备重定向到目标核心网控制面的流程效率,节约了信令。同时,源核心网控制面设备通过将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效,并将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册,使得源核心网控制面设备不再为终端设备提供服务,避免了终端设备再次与源核心网控制面设备之间进行业务交互,提高了网络切片安全性。综上,本申请提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法,提高了网络切片安全性和终端设备的重定向流程效率,节约了信令。
进一步地,在图2所示实施例的基础上,图3和图4分别基于源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备的可能的两种实现方式,进行进一步描述。图3和图4是本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法的信令交互图。
参照图3,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法包括如下步骤:
S301、源核心网控制面设备从用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
例如,源核心网控制面设备接收用户数据管理中心设备发送的终端设备的签约数据。用户数据管理中心设备发现存储在其中的终端设备的签约数据发生改变后,用户数据管理 中心设备根据终端设备的永久标识确定终端设备当前注册的源核心网控制面设备。然后,用户数据管理中心设备将终端设备的新的签约数据和终端设备的永久标识发送给源核心网控制面设备。
可选的,用户数据管理中心设备发送签约数据的方式可以为:
用户数据管理中心设备通过插入签约数据请求消息将终端设备的新的签约数据发送给源核心网控制面设备。当源核心网控制面设备接收到终端设备的新的签约数据和终端设备的永久标识时,源核心网控制面设备即可确定注册在该源核心网控制面设备上的具体哪一个终端设备的签约数据发生了变化。
可选的,在源核心网控制面设备在接收到终端设备的新的签约数据后,源核心网控制面设备还可向用户数据管理中心设备发送插入签约数据应答消息。
S302、源核心网控制面设备根据签约数据确定第一NSSAI。
示例性的,源核心网控制面设备在接收到终端设备的新的签约数据时,源核心网控制面设备比较终端设备的新的签约数据与终端设备的旧的签约数据,确定签约数据中发生变化的项目是否导致NSSAI的变化。若导致NSSAI发生变化,则源核心网控制面设备根据签约数据中发生变化的项目获取第一NSSAI。可选的实现方式中,源核心网控制面设备可以配置签约数据与NSSAI之间的对应关系,通过签约数据确定NSSAI。
或者,源核心网控制面设备在接收到终端设备的新的签约数据时,新的签约数据包含第一NSSAI,源核心网控制面设备可以直接获取到第一NSSAI。若签约数据中发生变化的项目不会导致NSSAI发生变化,则终端设备无需进行核心网控制面设备的重定向注册。
S303、源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备与第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备之间存在隔离需求,则源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
若源网络切片与目标网络切片之间不具有安全隔离需求,源核心网控制面设备与目标核心网控制面设备之间能够通信,则终端设备可向接入网设备发送携带第一NSSAI和终端设备的临时标识的注册请求消息或者跟踪区更新(Tracking Area Update,TAU)请求消息。目标核心网控制面设备可根据终端设备的临时标识向源核心网控制面设备请求终端设备的上下文信息,从而完成注册流程或者TAU流程。
进一步地,在源核心网控制面设备获取终端设备的第一NSSAI,根据第一NSSAI确定目标核心网控制面设备之前,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法还包括:
源核心网控制面设备从终端设备接收第二注册请求消息,第二注册请求消息携带第二NSSAI,第二NSSAI用于索引源核心网控制面设备。
例如,在终端设备接入PLMN之前,终端设备上预设有配置NSSAI(Configured NSSAI),即第二NSSAI。Configured NSSAI用于指示终端设备在选择的PLMN中的可选的网络切片。终端设备第一接入网络切片时,向接入网设备设备发送初始注册请求,初始注册请求中携带有Configured NSSAI,接入网设备根据Configured NSSAI,将初始注册请求中的终端设备的永久标识,发送至Configured NSSAI对应的核心网控制面设备,即源核心网控制面设备,从而完成终端设备的初始注册。
可选的,在源核心网控制面设备判断无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备之前,源核心网控制面设备还需确定源核心网控制面设备能否继续为终端设备服务。
例如,确定源核心网控制面设备能否继续为终端设备服务的方式为:
源核心网控制面设备根据最新的签约数据确定第一NSSAI,并判断第一NSSAI所关联的切片类型或者业务类型不在源核心网控制面设备所关联的切片类型或者业务类型范围之内,说明终端设备无法通过源核心网控制面设备接入到第一NSSAI指示的目标网络切片中,则判断源核心网控制面设备不能继续服务终端设备。若源核心网控制面设备确定源核心网控制面设备不能继续为终端设备服务,则进一步判断源网络切片是否可以确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。若源核心网控制面设备确定源核心网控制面设备能继续为终端设备服务,则终端设备无需进行核心网控制面设备的重定向注册,可仍注册在该源核心网控制面设备上,通过该源核心网控制面设备接入到目标网络切片上。
示例性的,若终端设备的新的签约数据与旧的签约数据相比,指示相同切片类型的网络切片,则终端设备可以由同一核心网控制面设备服务。若终端设备的第二NSSAI所关联的切片类型包括1、2和3,当终端设备的第一NSSAI所关联的切片类型包括1和/或2时,则认为源核心网控制面设备可继续服务终端设备;当终端设备的第一NSSAI所关联的切片类型包括4时,则认为源核心网控制面设备不能继续服务终端设备。
S304、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备确定源核心网控制面设备无法继续服务终端设备,且源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备时,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
例如,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效的方式具体可以为:为终端设备设置无效的临时标识,或将终端设备的临时标识从源核心网控制面设备的服务列表中删除。
S305、源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息。该第一指示信息用于指示终端设备的临时标识无效。
例如,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息的方式包括:
第一种:如果终端设备处于连接状态,源核心网控制面设备通过终端设备临时标识重分配过程将第一NSSAI和第一指示信息下发给终端设备。
第二种:如果终端设备处于空闲状态,源核心网控制面设备可等待终端设备发起TAU流程/业务请求流程,完成与源核心网控制面设备的注册,再将第一NSSAI和第一指示信息通过TAU接受消息/业务请求完成流程下发给终端设备。
第三种:如果终端设备处于空闲状态,源核心网控制面设备可以寻呼终端设备,触发终端设备发起业务请求,从空闲状态变成连接状态,从而采用第一种方式向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息。
可选的,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息还可采用其他可行的方式,以上多种可能实现的方式可以由源核心网控制面设备根据网络策略而定,本申请对此不做限定。
S306、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册。
例如,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的上下文信息从源核心网控制面设备中删除。S307、终端设备根据第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息,接入网设备将第一注册请求消息发送至目标核心网控制面设备;第一注册请求消息携带第 一NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识。
例如,终端设备在NAS消息中携带终端设备的永久标识以及第一NSSAI,RRC消息中携带第一NSSAI和终端设备所选择的PLMN。接入网设备收到RRC消息后,根据RRC消息中携带的第一NSSAI和PLMN为终端设备选择目标核心网控制面设备。接入网设备将终端设备发送的NAS消息转发给目标核心网控制面设备。
S308、目标核心网控制面设备根据终端设备的永久标识从用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
例如,目标核心网控制面设备根据终端设备的签约数据继续完成终端设备注册流程。终端设备的注册流程可采用LTE系统或5G系统中的注册流程,本申请不做详细说明。
本实施例中,用户数据管理中心设备在检测到终端设备的签约数据发生变化时,将终端设备的新的签约数据发送给源核心网控制面设备,以使源核心网控制面设备根据新的签约数据得到用于索引目标核心网控制面设备的第一NSSAI。同时,源核心网控制面设备可根据终端设备处理连接状态或空闲状态的不同,采用不同的方式向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,提高了信令交互的灵活性。本实施例中还根据第一NSSAI所关联的切片类型或者业务类型是否在源核心网控制面设备所关联的切片类型或者业务类型范围之内,来确定源核心网控制面设备能否继续服务终端设备,可避免在源核心网控制面设备能继续服务终端设备时,进行终端设备的重定向,减少了信令开销。
图4为本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法的信令交互图。
参照图4,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法包括如下步骤:
S401、源核心网控制面设备从用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
S402、源核心网控制面设备根据签约数据确定第一NSSAI。
S403、源核心网控制面设备向缺省核心网控制面设备发送第一NSSAI,以请求第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备
S404、缺省核心网控制面设备向源核心网控制面设备指示无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。例如,缺省核心网控制面设备向源核心网控制面设备发送第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。或者,缺省核心网控制面设备向源核心网控制面设备发送请求失败消息,或拒绝向源核心网控制面设备发送消息,从而告知源核心网控制面设备:无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。例如,由于源核心网控制面设备所在的切片与目标核心网控制面设备所在的切片之间需要隔离,则无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
换句话说,请求失败,源核心网控制面设备无法确定第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备可根据签约数据确定第一NSSAI,但无法根据第一NSSAI确定源核心网控制面设备与目标核心网控制面设备之间是否能够通信时,源核心网控制面设备通过上述步骤S404获知无法确定目标核心网控制面设备。
可选的,与图3所示实施例类似,源核心网控制面设备在判断第一NSSAI所索引的目标核心网控制面设备之前,源核心网控制面设备还需确定源核心网控制面设备能否继续为终端设备服务。例如,确定源核心网控制面设备能否继续为终端设备服务的方式为:
源核心网控制面设备根据最新的签约数据确定第一NSSAI,并判断第一NSSAI所关联的切片类型或者业务类型不在源核心网控制面设备所关联的切片类型或者业务类型范围之内,说明终端设备无法通过源核心网控制面设备接入到第一NSSAI指示的目标网络切片中,则判断源核心网控制面设备不能继续服务终端设备。若源核心网控制面设备确定源核心网控制面设备不能继续为终端设备服务,则判断源网络切片与目标网络切片之间是否需要隔离。若源核心网控制面设备确定源核心网控制面设备能继续为终端设备服务,则终端设备无需进行核心网控制面设备的重定向注册,可仍注册在该源核心网控制面设备上,通过该源核心网控制面设备接入到目标网络切片上。
S405、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
S406、源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第一NSSAI和第一指示信息。该第一指示信息用于指示终端设备的临时标识无效。
S407、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册。
S408、终端设备根据第一NSSAI和第一指示信息,向接入网设备发送第一注册请求消息,接入网设备将第一注册请求消息发送至目标核心网控制面设备;第一注册请求消息携带第一NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识。
S409、目标核心网控制面设备根据终端设备的永久标识从用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
其中,步骤S401至S403及S405至S409可参考图3中S301至S302及S304至S308的描述,此处不再赘述。
本实施例中,源核心网控制面设备向缺省核心网控制面设备发送第一NSSAI,以使缺省核心网控制面设备根据签约数据获取第一NSSAI,以及第一NSSAI索引的目标核心网控制面设备。缺省核心网控制面设备将无法确定目标核心网控制面设备的判断结果返回给源核心网控制面设备,使得源核心网控制面设备触发后续操作,从而解决了可能导致的终端设备重定向不成功的问题。
本申请第二方面还提供一种核心网控制面设备选择方法。与上述第一方面中的任一实施例不同的是,当源核心网控制面设备不能确定第一NSSAI时,本实施例中源核心网控制面设备将终端设备先重定向在缺省核心网控制面设备上,再由缺省核心网控制面设备服务终端设备,将终端设备重定向在目标核心网控制面设备上。下面采用详细的实施例,对本申请提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法进行详细说明。
图5为本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法的信令交互图。参照图5,本申请实施例提供的核心网控制面设备选择方法包括如下步骤:
S501、源核心网控制面设备从用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
其中,终端设备的签约数据的获取方式可以与上述任一实施例所述的方法相似,此处不再赘述。
S502、源核心网控制面设备判断不能确定第一NSSAI,第一NSSAI用于索引目标核心网控制面设备。
示例性的,源核心网控制面设备在获取到终端设备的签约数据时,源核心网控制面设 备判断是否能够确定终端设备的第一NSSAI。当源核心网控制面设备判断能够确定终端设备的第一NSSAI,则可执行上述图2至图6任一所示的实施例。
其中,源核心网控制面设备判断不能确定终端设备的第一NSSAI,可以为源核心网控制面设备自身不能根据终端设备的签约数据确定终端设备的第一NSSAI,也可以为源核心网控制面设备无法从缺省核心网控制面设备获取终端设备的第一NSSAI。
S503、源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第三NSSAI以及第一指示信息,第三NSSAI用于索引缺省核心网控制面设备,第一指示信息用于指示终端设备的临时标识无效,第三NSSAI用于索引缺省核心网控制面设备。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备判断不能确定第一NSSAI时,源核心网控制面设备通过向终端设备发送第三NSSAI以及第一指示信息。当终端设备接收到第一指示信息时,终端设备确定源核心网控制面设备为自己分配的临时标识无效。终端设备根据第三NSSAI,将终端设备重定向注册在缺省核心网控制面设备上。
例如,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第三NSSAI和第一指示信息的方式包括:
第一种:如果终端设备处于连接状态,源核心网控制面设备通过终端设备临时标识重分配过程将第三NSSAI和第一指示信息下发给终端设备。

第三种:如果终端设备处于空闲状态,源核心网控制面设备可以选择寻呼终端设备,触发终端设备发起业务请求,从空闲状态变成连接状态,从而采用第一种方式向终端设备发送第三NSSAI和第一指示信息。
可选的,源核心网控制面设备向终端设备发送第三NSSAI和第一指示信息还可采用其他可行的方式,以上多种可能实现的方式可以由源核心网控制面设备根据网络策略而定,本申请对此不做限定。
可选的,在S503之前,本申请实施还包括:
S5031、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备判断无法确定终端设备的第一NSSAI时,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效。
例如,源核心网控制面设备将终端设备的临时标识设置为无效的方式具体可以为:为终端设备设置无效的临时标识,或将终端设备的临时标识从源核心网控制面设备的服务列表中删除。
可选的,在S503之后,本申请实施还包括:
S5032、源核心网控制面设备将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册。
例如,当源核心网控制面设备判断不能确定第一NSSAI时,可直接认为源核心网控制面设备无法向终端设备提供服务,源核心网控制面设备与终端设备具有隔离性需求。可直接将终端设备从源核心网控制面设备去注册,避免了终端设备通过源核心网控制面设备访问源网络切片,隔离了源网络切片和终端设备,提高了网络切片安全性。
S504、终端设备根据第三NSSAI和第一指示信息,向接入网设备发送第三注册请求消息,第三注册请求消息携带第三NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识。
例如,终端设备在NAS消息中携带终端设备的永久标识以及第三NSSAI,RRC消息中携带第三NSSAI和终端设备所选择的PLMN。接入网设备收到RRC消息后,根据RRC消息中携带的第三NSSAI和PLMN为终端设备选择缺省核心网控制面设备。
S505、缺省核心网控制面设备从接入网设备接收第三注册请求消息。
示例性的,终端设备根据接收到的第三NSSAI,向接入网设备发送第三注册请求消息。接入网设备根据第三NSSAI为终端设备确定具体的缺省核心网控制面设备,并将第三注册请求消息转发给缺省核心网控制面设备。第三注册请求消息携带第三NSSAI和终端设备的永久标识。
S506、缺省核心网控制面设备根据永久标识向用户数据管理中心设备获取终端设备的签约数据。
例如,缺省核心网控制面设备向用户数据管理中心设备发送终端设备的永久标识,接收用户数据管理中心设备返回的终端设备的签约数据。
S507、缺省核心网控制面设备根据签约数据确定终端设备的目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,缺省核心网控制面设备根据签约数据确定终端设备的第一NSSAI,并根据第一NSSAI和终端设备选择的PLMN确定目标核心网控制面设备。

可选的,缺省核心网控制面设备将终端设备重定向至目标核心网控制面设备的过程,具体包括至少如下两种可行的实现方式:
第一种可行的实现方式:
缺省核心网控制面设备向接入网设备发送第一重定向指示消息,第一重定向指示消息用于触发接入网设备将终端设备重定向至目标核心网控制面设备。
例如,缺省核心网控制面设备向接入网设备发送第一重定向指示消息,第一重定向指示消息携带终端设备的第一NSSAI、目标核心网控制面设备的标识信息,以及终端设备的永久标识。接入网设备接收到第一重定向指示消息后,根据第一重定向指示消息中携带的目标核心网控制面设备的标识信息选择目标核心网控制面设备,并将终端设备的永久标识转发目标核心网控制面设备,使得目标核心网控制面设备完成终端设备的重定向。
第二种可行的实现方式:
缺省核心网控制面设备向目标核心网控制面设备发送第二重定向指示消息,第二重定向指示消息用于触发目标核心网控制面设备完成终端设备的重定向。
例如,缺省核心网控制面根据目标核心网控制面设备的标识信息,直接向目标核心网控制面设备发送第二重定向指示消息,第二重定向指示消息携带终端设备的第一NSSAI以及终端设备的永久标识,使得目标核心网控制面设备完成终端设备的重定向。
