Description

一种选择核心网设备的方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种选择核心网设备的方法及装置。
背景技术
在未来通信系统中,网络可以通过切片技术将核心网的同一套物理设备切分出多个逻辑的核心网网络切片实例,每个核心网网络切片实例可以根据具体的商业场景或用户需求做定制化,从而满足多样性业务,且同时保证了网络切片实例之间的相互隔离。因此,运营商可以通过对速率、容量、覆盖率、延迟、可靠性、安全性和可用性等网络性能指标进行自由灵活组合,定制不同的网络切片实例,从而满足各个业务的具体要求。
现有技术中,网络会部署多个专用核心网(Dedicated Core Network,DCN),这里的专用核心网即上述的核心网网络切片实例。每个DCN服务于某一类型或某一群组的用户。网络为每个属于某一类型或群组的用户定义了一个使用类型(Usage Type)。如图1所示,
步骤101:eNB将UE的NAS请求消息发送至MME1。
步骤102:MME1根据该UE的Usage Type向HSS查询自身能否为该UE提供服务。
步骤103:HSS向MME1回复查询结果,该查询结果指示MME1不能为该UE提供服务,携带能够为UE提供服务的MME标识信息为MME2。
步骤104:MME2向eNB发送重定向命令,携带MME2的标识信息。
步骤105:eNB根据MME2的标识信息,将终端的NAS请求发送至MME2。
因此,当终端通过无线接入网节点接入某个专用核心网时,该专用核心网根据终端的Usage Type确定能够服务该终端的专用核心网。如果能够服务该终端的专用核心网为自身,则该专用核心网继续为该终端提供服务。如果能够服务该终端的专用核心网非自身,则该专用核心网通知无线接入网节点正确的专用核心网标识,由无线接入网节点重新将该终端的接入请求转发到正确的专用核心网。
现有技术中需要终端接入专用核心网后,由专用核心网判断接入的专用核心网是否正确,当接入的专用核心网不正确时,通过重定向过程将终端的接入请求转发到正确的专用核心网,因此带来额外的信令开销,并导致接入时延增加。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图,对本申请的实施例进行描述。
图2为本申请的具体应用场景示意图。须知,图2中的核心网网络切片实例仅为举例,不作为本申请的限定。
具体的,运营商网络部署了四个核心网网络切片实例,分别针对于增强型移动互联网(Enhance Mobile Broadband,eMBB),泛在物联网(Massive Internet of Things,mIoT),车对外界的信息交换(Vehicle to X,V2X),和超高可靠性与超低时延通信(Ultra Reliable&Low Latency Communication,uRLLC)四种商业场景。其中,eMBB和mIoT的核心网网络切片实例存在共享的控制面功能,记为Common CP 1。V2X和URLLC的核心网网络切片实例也存在一个共享的控制面功能,记为Common CP 2。RAN Node被所有的核心网网络切片实例共享。
基于图2的应用场景,UE1具备同时接入eMBB和mIoT的业务需求时,可通过RAN Node首先接入Common CP 1,UE2具备同时接入V2X和URLLC的业务需求时,可通过RAN Node首先接入Common CP 2。
本申请中的终端为支持5G网络的终端设备,但本申请能够应用的终端不受限于此,还可以应用于所有种类的终端设备,包括手机、物联网设备,智能家居设备,工业控制设备,车辆设备等。本申请中的RAN Node为接入网节点,可以是3GPP无线接入网节点,也可以是非3GPP的接入点,比如Wi-Fi接入点,或固网接入点。
图2中,切片实例共享部分(Slice instance Common Part)是指一个或多个切片实例共 享的控制面设备或网络功能,例如移动性管理设备或网络功能(Mobility Management Function,MMF)。切片实例独享部分(Slice instance Dedicated Part)是指核心网切片实例独享的控制面设备或网络功能,例如会话管理设备或网络功能(Session Management Function,SMF)。本申请实施例为简单起见,仅以MMF代表Slice instance Common Part,以SMF代表Slice Instance Dedicated Part,不作为本申请的限定。
参阅图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种选择核心网设备的方法,包括:
步骤300:接入网节点接收终端发送的消息,接入层消息包括非接入层(Non Access Stratum,NAS)请求消息和网络选择辅助参数;网络选择辅助参数用于指示接入网节点为终端选择移动管理设备。
应理解的是,这里的接入层消息可以为无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)消息。
步骤310:接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数查询配置信息,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,配置信息包括网络选择辅助参数与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系。
步骤320:接入网节点根据至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识确定目标移动管理设备的设备标识。
步骤330:接入网节点向目标移动管理设备的设备标识指示的移动管理设备发送NAS请求消息。
在一种可能的设计中,在执行步骤300之前,接入网节点获取配置信息,具体的,配置信息是由各个移动管理设备发送给接入网节点,或由网络管理设备为接入网节点配置的。
针对步骤320,在一种可能的设计中,接入网节点根据至少一个移动管理设备的组标识确定目标移动管理设备的设备标识可以采用如下方法:接入网节点从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组。然后,接入网节点对目标移动管理设备组中的各个移动管理设备执行NAS节点选择功能确定目标移动管理设备的设备标识。
具体的,移动管理设备组中的各个移动管理设备将自身的权重信息配置给接入网节点,接入网节点根据负载均衡原则确定一个移动管理设备。例如,一个移动管理设备组中包括三个移动管理设备A1、A2、A3,A1、A2、A3的权重信息分别为10%、60%、30%,因此,每10个分配至该移动管理设备组的NAS请求消息中,RAN Node将1个NAS请求消息分配给A1,6个NAS请求消息分配给A2,3个NAS请求消息分配给A3。
应理解的是,本申请中提到的移动管理设备的类型用于指示移动管理设备的处理机制或行为,以支持一个或多个切片所提供的功能和服务,例如,Type of MMF、AMF Type。切片类型用于指示网络切片的处理机制或行为,以支持切片所提供的功能和服务,例如,Type of SMF,Slice Type,Service Type。移动管理设备组的组标识可以用MMF Group ID表示。移动管理设备的设备标识可以用MMF Instance ID表示。每个移动管理设备的设备标识可以在该移动管理设备向接入网节点发送配置信息时携带,或者,网络管理设备为接入网节点配置配置信息时携带。此外,终端可以通过移动管理设备获得移动管理设备的类型和/或切片类型,或者,终端提前配置好移动管理设备的类型和/或切片类型。应理解的是,本申请中提到的移动管理设备也可以是接入和移动性管理设备(Core Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)。移动管理设备的类型也可以是AMF Type,相应的,移动管理设备组的组标识可以用AMF Group ID表示,移动管理设备的设备标识可以用AMF Instance ID表示。
下面针对本申请实施例中步骤310的几种可能实现方式进行说明。
第一种实现方式:网络选择辅助参数包括移动管理设备的类型,配置信息包括移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系。
此时,针对步骤310,接入网节点根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系如表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2017077586-appb-000001
表1中的移动管理设备的类型给出字段eMBB+mIoT和V2X+URLLC,只是为了便于理解,实际实现时可能采用数值或标量的方式表示,例如用C001代表eMBB+mIoT,D001代表eMBB,D002代表mIoT等。需理解,表1列出的多种信息仅是例举,并不对本申请构成限定。
下面以图4为例说明第一种实现方式的具体实现流程。
S401:RAN Node接收MMF 1和MMF 2发送的配置消息。
具体的,在RAN Node与MMF的接口配置过程中,RAN Node当前连接的MMF,如图4包括MMF 1和MMF 2,MMF 1和MMF 2分别向RAN Node发送配置消息,MMF1发送的配置消息中包括MMF1支持的Type of MMF与MMF Group ID的对应关系,MMF2发送的配置消息中包括MMF2支持的Type of MMF与MMF Group ID的对应关系,如表1所示。这里假设MMF 1Group仅包括一个移动管理设备MMF1,MMF 1Group仅包括一个移动管理设备MMF2。当MMF 1Group包括多个移动管理设备时,MMF 1Group中的每个移动管理设备都会向RAN Node发送配置信息,RAN Node统计发送相同配置信息的MMF的数量,获知MMF 1Group包括的MMF数量和每个MMF的Instance ID。须知这里仅以各MMF将配置信息发送给RAN Node为例进行说明,还可以通过网络管理设备为RAN Node提前配置各个配置信息。
S402:UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息和Type of MMF,例如Type of MMF为eMBB+mIoT。
S402具体可参考步骤300。
S403:RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of MMF查询配置信息,即表1,得到MMF 1Group ID。
S403具体可参考第一种实现方式。
S404:RAN Node根据MMF 1Group ID执行NAS节点选择功能获得MMF 1Instance ID。
S404具体可参考步骤320。
S405:RAN Node向MMF 1Instance ID指示的MMF转发UE的NAS请求消息。
S405具体可参考步骤330。
S406:MMF 1向UE发送NAS接受消息(NAS accept),其中包括Type of MMF。该NAS信息可能与UE提供Type of MMF一致,也可能不一致,例如MMF 1需要更新Type of MMF。
须知,当RAN Node未能根据UE提供的Type of MMF从配置信息中查询到匹配的MMF Group时,RAN Node可根据缺省的MMF Group,执行NAS节点选择功能获得一个MMF Instance ID,向该MMF Instance ID指示的MMF转发UE的NAS请求消息。应理解的是,NAS节点选择功能与现有技术一致,重复之处不再赘述。
此外,此时的网络选择辅助参数还可包括至少一个切片类型,配置信息还包括切片类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系。当RAN Node未能根据UE提供的Type of MMF从配置信息中查询到匹配的MMF Group时,RAN Node可以根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,具体参阅第二种实现方式。
进一步地,在一种可能的设计中,配置信息还包括每个移动管理设备组对应于移动管理设备类型的权重信息,此时接入网节点从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组可以采用以下方法:接入网节点根据至少一个移动管理设备组中每个移动管理设备组对应于移动管理设备类型的权重信息,从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组。
例如,确定出三个移动管理设备组分别为G1、G2、G3,这三个移动管理设备的类型相同,G1、G2、G3对应于移动管理设备类型的权重信息分别为20%、50%、30%,因此,每10个分配至该种类型移动管理设备组的NAS请求消息中,RAN Node将2个NAS请求消息分配给G1,5个NAS请求消息分配给G2,3个NAS请求消息分配给G3。
第二种实现方式:网络选择辅助参数包括至少一个切片类型,配置信息包括切片类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系。
此时,针对步骤310,接入网节点根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系如表2所示。
表2
Figure PCTCN2017077586-appb-000002
需理解,表2列出的多种信息仅是例举,并不对本申请构成限定。
上述图4所示的实施例中,RAN Node根据Type of MMF为UE选择MMF。但在某些情况下,例如漫游场景或跨省场景,运营商很可能没有部署这种共享类型的MMF。这样RAN Node就无法根据Type of MMF来进行选择。此时,采用如图5所述的实施例就能实现为终端选择MMF。
下面以图5为例说明第二种实现方式的具体实现流程。
S501:RAN Node接收MMF 1和MMF 2发送的配置消息。
具体的,在RAN Node与MMF的接口配置过程中,RAN Node当前连接的MMF,如图5包括MMF 1和MMF 2,MMF 1和MMF 2分别向RAN Node发送配置消息,MMF1发送的配置消息中包括MMF1支持的Type of SMF与MMF Group ID的对应关系,MMF2发送的配置 消息中包括MMF2支持的Type of SMF与MMF Group ID的对应关系,如表2所示。须知这里仅以各MMF将配置信息发送给RAN Node为例进行说明,还可以通过网络管理设备为RAN Node提前配置各个配置信息。
S502:UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息和Type of SMF,例如Type of SMF为eMBB。
S502具体可参考步骤300。
S503:RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of SMF查询配置信息,即表2,得到MMF 1Group ID。
S503具体可参考第二种实现方式。
S504:RAN Node根据MMF 1Group ID执行NAS节点选择功能获得MMF 1Instance ID。
S504具体可参考步骤320。
S505:RAN Node向MMF 1Instance ID指示的MMF转发UE的NAS请求消息。
S505具体可参考步骤330。
S506:MMF1向UE发送NAS接受消息,其中包括Type of MMF。
因此,通过S506,UE可以获得移动管理设备的类型,下次UE发送向RAN Node发送接入层消息时,RRC可以包括NAS请求消息和Type of MMF。
此外,此时的网络选择辅助参数还可包括移动管理设备的类型,配置信息包括移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,当RAN Node未能根据UE提供的Type of SMF从配置信息中查询到匹配的MMF Group时,RAN Node可以根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,具体参阅第一种实现方式。
进一步地,在一种可能的设计中,至少一个切片类型包括一个缺省的切片类型,缺省的切片类型由终端指定或由网络配置设定。针对步骤310,接入网节点根据缺省的切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。此时,考虑到需首先满足终端接入缺省的切片类型的切片的需求,根据缺省的切片类型,为终端确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
例如,UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息和Type of SMF,其中,Type of SMF包括eMBB和V2X,eMBB为缺省的切片类型,由于运营商可能没有部署eMBB+V2X这种共享类型的MMF,此时接入网节点可能无法找到同时支持eMBB和V2X的MMF。因此,当eMBB为缺省的切片类型时,接入网节点可根据eMBB查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。这里的eMBB为缺省的切片类型可以由终端指定或由网络配置设定。
此外,在一种可能的设计中,配置信息还包括每个移动管理设备组对应于切片类型的权重信息。此时,接入网节点从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组,可根据至少一个移动管理设备组中每个移动管理设备组对应于缺省的切片类型的权重信息,从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组。
如图6所示,说明配置信息还包括每个移动管理设备组对应于切片类型的权重信息时,如何确定目标移动管理设备组。
S601:RAN Node接收MMF 1、MMF 2、MMF3发送的配置消息,如表3所示,此外,每个MMF发送的配置信息中还包括该MMF对应于切片类型的权重信息,例如图6中的负载 信息(Weight Factor per SMF type)。
表3
Figure PCTCN2017077586-appb-000003
S602:UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息和Type of SMF,例如Type of SMF为eMBB。
S602具体可参考步骤300。
S603:RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of SMF查询配置信息,即表3,得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID。
S603具体可参考步骤310。
S604:RAN Node根据MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID分别对应于eMBB的权重信息,即weight factor,选择MMF 3Group ID。
具体的,假设MMF 1设定eMBB的weight factor为3,MMF 2设定eMBB的weight factor为7,那么RAN Node将占总数30%的eMBB业务交由MMF 1处理,将占总数70%的eMBB业务交由MMF 3处理。
S605:RAN Node根据MMF 3Group ID执行NAS节点选择功能获得MMF 3Instance ID。
S604和S605具体可参考步骤320。
S606:RAN Node向MMF 3Instance ID指示的MMF转发UE的NAS请求消息。
S606具体可参考步骤330。
S607:MMF3向UE发送NAS接受消息,其中包括Type of MMF。
上述实施例中,Type of SMF包括一种切片类型,可直接作为缺省的切片类型。当Type of SMF包括多个切片类型时,需要确定缺省的切片类型,根据Type of SMF包括eMBB和URLLC,根据eMBB查询表3得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID,根据URLLC查询表3得到MMF 2Group ID,当eMBB为缺省的切片类型时,采用如图6所示的方法确定MMF,当URLLC为缺省的切片类型时,RAN Node根据MMF 2Group ID执行NAS节点选择功能获得目标移动管理设备的设备标识。或者,由于Type of SMF包括eMBB和URLLC,首先根据缺省的切片类型查询表3,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,然后再根据如图6所示的方法进一步确定目标移动设备组的组标识。
第三种实现方式:网络选择辅助参数包括移动管理设备的类型和至少一个切片类型;配置信息包括移动管理设备的类型、切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系;配置信息还包括指示信息,指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数选择移动管理设 备组;
应理解的是,这里的配置信息可以包括移动管理设备的类型、切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系三者之间的对应关系,又或者,这里的配置信息可以包括移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识两者之间的对应关系,以及切片类型与移动管理设备组的组标识两者之间的对应关系。
根据指示信息的不同,这里又可具体分为三种情况:
第一种情况:当指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数中的移动管理设备的类型选择移动管理设备组时,接入网节点根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
第一种情况的具体实现方法与第一种实现方式一致。
第二种情况:当指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数中的至少一个切片类型选择移动管理设备组时,接入网节点根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识;
第二种情况的具体实现方法与第二种实现方式一致。
第三种情况:当指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数中的移动管理设备的类型和至少一个切片类型选择移动管理设备组时,接入网节点根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为第一组标识组;接入网节点根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为第二组标识组;接入网节点根据第一组标识组与第二组标识组的交集或并集确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
须知,针对第三种情况,接入网节点确定第一组标识组合第二组标识组的次序不作限定。
表4
Figure PCTCN2017077586-appb-000004
如表4所示,配置信息包括移动管理设备的类型、切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系。
例如,UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息,和Type of SMF和Type of MMF,Type of MMF为eMBB+mIoT,Type of SMF为eMBB。当指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数中移动管理设备的类型和至少一个切片类型选择移动管理设备组时,RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of SMF查询配置信息,即表4,得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID。RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of MMF查询表4,得到MMF 1Group ID。 RAN Node根据上述查询结果取交集确定MMF 1Group ID为匹配度最高的MMF Group。
又例如,UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息,和Type of SMF和Type of MMF,Type of MMF为eMBB,Type of SMF为eMBB。当指示信息指示接入网节点根据网络选择辅助参数中的移动管理设备的类型和至少一个切片类型选择移动管理设备组时,RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of SMF查询配置信息,即表4,得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF3Group ID。RAN Node根据UE提供的Type of MMF查询表4,无法匹配到合适的MMF group,因为,在实际应用中,各个Type of MMF通常用数值标量表示,eMBB+mIoT定义的值为003,eMBB定义的值为002。此时。RAN Node根据上述查询结果取不到交集,此时根据上述查询结果取并集,确定MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID为匹配度最高的MMF Group。进一步地,若配置信息还包括每个移动管理设备组对应于切片类型的权重信息时,接入网节点从至少一个移动管理设备组中选取出目标移动管理设备组。
应理解的是,该指示信息也可默认配置在RAN Node中,RAN Node根据默认的配置规则执行上述过程,不需要每个MMF发送的配置信息单独指示。
下面以图7为例说明第三种实现方式的具体实现流程。
S701:RAN Node接收MMF 1、MMF 2,MMF3分别发送的配置消息,如表4所示。此外,每个配置信息中还包括相同的指示信息。
S702:UE向RAN Node发送RRC消息,其中包括NAS请求消息、Type of SMF和Type of MMF,例如Type of MMF为eMBB+mIoT,Type of SMF为eMBB。
S702具体可参考步骤300。
S703:RAN Node根据指示信息确定根据哪个或哪几个网络选择辅助参数选择移动管理设备组,得到MMF1Group ID。
具体可以参考第三种实现方式:
例如,当指示信息指示RAN Node根据Type of MMF选择移动管理设备组时,RAN Node查询表4,得到MMF 1Group ID;
又例如,当指示信息指示RAN Node根据Type of SMF选择移动管理设备组时,RAN Node查询表4,得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID;
又例如,当指示信息指示RAN Node根据Type of SMF和Type of MMF选择移动管理设备组时,RAN Node查询表4,第一组标识组包括MMF 1Group ID,第二组标识组包括MMF1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID,RAN Node根据第一组标识组和第二组标识组取交集,得到MMF 1Group ID,或者,根据第一组标识组和第二组标识组取并集,得到MMF 1Group ID和MMF 3Group ID。
须知,这里仅以最终确定MMF 1Group ID为例进行说明,还可以为MMF 3Group ID。
S704:RAN Node根据MMF 1Group ID执行NAS节点选择功能获得MMF 1Instance ID。
S704具体可参考步骤320。
S705:RAN Node向MMF 1Instance ID指示的MMF转发UE的NAS请求消息。
S505具体可参考步骤330。
S706:MMF1向UE发送NAS接受消息,其中包括Type of MMF。
第四种实现方式:网络选择辅助参数包括移动管理设备的类型和至少一个切片类型;配置信息包括移动管理设备的类型、切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系;
此时,针对步骤310,具体又可分为以下两种情况:
第一种情况:接入网节点根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为第一组标识组;接入网节点根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为第二组标识组;接入网节点根据第一组标识组与第二组标识组的交集或并集确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
第一种情况的具体实现方法与第三种实现方式中第三种情况一致,只是无需MMF发送指示信息。
第二种情况:当接入网节点根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为第一组标识组时,不再根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,将第一组标识组中包括的至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识作为最终确定的至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
因此,接入网节点可先根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,若查询到至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,则无需再次根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,因此,匹配方式更加简便灵活,匹配效率更高。
应理解的是,接入网节点还可先根据至少一个切片类型查询切片类型和移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,若查询到至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,则无需再次根据移动管理设备的类型查询移动管理设备的类型与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系,因此,优先匹配移动管理设备的类型还是切片类型,可根据实际网络需要灵活进行配置。
基于同一构思,本申请还提供了一种选择核心网设备的装置,该装置可以用于执行上述图3中接入网节点设备执行的步骤,因此本申请实施例提供的选择核心网设备的装置的实施方式可以参见该方法的实施方式。

应理解的是,上述单元的具体划分仅作为举例,不做为本申请的限定。
基于同一构思,本申请还提供了一种接入网节点,该设备可以用于执行上述图3中接入网节点执行的步骤,因此本申请实施例提供的接入网节点的实施方式可以参见该方法的实施方式,重复之处不再赘述。
参阅图9所示,本申请实施例提供一种接入网节点900,该设备包括收发器910,处理器920和存储器930,其中,收发器910、处理器920以及存储器930之间可以通过总线系统相连。该存储器930用于存储程序、指令或代码,处理器920用于执行存储器930中的程序、指令或代码,以具体执行:通过收发器910接收终端发送的无线资源控制接入层消息,接入层消息包括非接入层NAS请求消息和网络选择辅助参数;根据网络选择辅助参数查询配置信息,确定至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识,配置信息包括网络选择辅助参数与移动管理设备组的组标识的对应关系;以及根据至少一个移动管理设备组的组标识确定目标移动管理设备的设备标识;通过收发器910向目标移动管理设备的设备标识指示的移动管理设备发送NAS请求消息。
需要说明的是,一个具体的实施方式中,图8中的接收单元810和发送单元830的功能可以用图9中的收发器910实现,图8中的处理单元820的功能可以用图9中的处理器920实现。
因此,采用本申请实施例提供的方法能够有效避免重定向的过程,减少了各个网络设备之间的信令交互,降低了终端入网时延。特别地,当只匹配Type of MMF或者Type of SMF时,匹配成功率较高,接入网节点可以比较容易为终端选择出一个移动管理设备,但可能无法完全满足终端的接入需求。当匹配Type of MMF和Type of SMF时,匹配成功率较低, 接入网节点可以无法地为终端选择出一个满足条件的移动管理设备,此时可以设置一个缺省的移动管理设备,或从第一组标识组或第二组标识组中选择一个移动管理设备组的组标识。
此外,相较于现有技术中,终端只可以接入一个核心网网络切片实例,无法满足一些复杂终端还具有同时接入多个核心网网络切片实例的能力与需求,采用本申请实施例提供的方法,能够支持终端同时接入多个核心网网络切片实例的场景。
在上述实施例中,可以全部或部分地通过软件、硬件、固件或者其任意组合来实现。当使用软件实现时,可以全部或部分地以计算机程序产品的形式实现。所述计算机程序产品包括一个或多个计算机指令。在计算机上加载和执行所述计算机程序指令时,全部或部分地产生按照本发明实施例所述的流程或功能。所述计算机可以是通用计算机、专用计算机、计算机网络、或者其他可编程装置。所述计算机指令可以存储在计算机可读存储介质中,或者从一个计算机可读存储介质向另一个计算机可读存储介质传输,例如,所述计算机指令可以从一个网站站点、计算机、服务器或数据中心通过有线(例如同轴电缆、光纤、数字用户线(DSL))或无线(例如红外、无线、微波等)方式向另一个网站站点、计算机、服务器或数据中心进行传输。所述计算机可读存储介质可以是计算机能够存取的任何可用介质或者是包含一个或多个可用介质集成的服务器、数据中心等数据存储设备。所述可用介质可以是磁性介质,(例如,软盘、硬盘、磁带)、光介质(例如,DVD)、或者半导体介质(例如固态硬盘Solid State Disk(SSD))等。
本申请实施例是参照根据本申请实施例的方法、设备(系统)、和计算机程序产品的流程图和/或方框图来描述的。应理解可由计算机程序指令实现流程图和/或方框图中的每一流程和/或方框、以及流程图和/或方框图中的流程和/或方框的结合。可提供这些计算机程序指令到通用计算机、专用计算机、嵌入式处理机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器以产生一个机器,使得通过计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器执行的指令产生用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的装置。
这些计算机程序指令也可存储在能引导计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备以特定方式工作的计算机可读存储器中,使得存储在该计算机可读存储器中的指令产生包括指令装置的制造品,该指令装置实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能。
这些计算机程序指令也可装载到计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备上,使得在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行一系列操作步骤以产生计算机实现的处理,从而在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行的指令提供用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的步骤。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请实施例进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的精神和范围。这样,倘若本申请实施例的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
