Description

一种用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法和装置
本申请要求于2018年5月21日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810491046.6、申请名称为“一种用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法和装置”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,更具体地,涉及通信领域中一种用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法和装置。
背景技术
在第五代(the fifth generation,5G)移动通信系统中,当终端设备接入5G网络时,终端设备会向接入和移动性管理功能AMF发起注册流程,接着,AMF选择执行策略控制功能PCF,并与选择的PCF建立接入和移动性管理AM策略关联,实现AMF与PCF之间的数据传输。
在一种场景中,当终端设备由于移动等原因,使得为该终端设备提供服务的AMF改变,例如,为该终端设备提供服务的AMF由第一AMF变为第二AMF。在该第二AMF有可能重用与该第一AMF建立AM策略关联的第一PCF的情况下,该第一AMF可以将该第一PCF的标识发送给该第二AMF,以使得该第二AMF在选择PCF的时候可以重复使用第一PCF,这样,不需要删除存储在该第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
但是,在上述场景中,若该第二AMF选择的PCF不是该第一PCF,该第一PCF与该第一AMF之间的AM策略关联无法删除,该第一PCF和该第一AMF中存储的针对该终端设备的AMF策略控制信息也就无法删除,浪费了系统资源。
因此,需要提供一种技术,能够节省系统资源。

为了方便描述,以上述网络架构为例,结合图2,对本申请实施例涉及的终端设备接入网络后的注册流程做一简单介绍。
S201,终端设备向(R)AN发送注册请求;
S202,(R)AN为该终端设备选择合适的能够服务该终端设备的AMF。
S203,(R)AN向第二AMF发送注册请求。
S204,第二AMF向第一AMF发送用于请求第一AMF中存储的终端设备的上下文的信息。
这里,该终端设备由于移动等原因,使得为该终端设备提供服务的AMF由原来的第一AMF变为当前为该终端设备服务的第二AMF,由于第一AMF中已经存储了关于该终端设备的上下文,因此,第二AMF可以向第一AMF请求该终端设备的上下文。
其中,终端设备的上下文可以理解为:终端设备或各个网络功能实体之间相互联系的与该U终端设备相关的参数,例如,参数可以是是接口参数的集合。
S205,第一AMF将该终端设备的上下文反馈给第二AMF。
其中,该终端设备的上下文还可以包括与第一AMF之间建立AMF策略关联的PCF(为了便于区分与理解,记为第一PCF)的标识信息。
S206,若该第二AMF没有从该终端设备或该第一AMF处获取订阅永久标识(Subscription Permanent Identifier,SUPI),则该第二AMF向终端设备发送用于请求订阅加密标识(Subscription Concealed Identifier,SUCI)的请求信息。
S207,该终端设备向该第二AMF发送用于指示SUCI的响应信息。
S208,第二AMF选择AUSF。
S209,AUSF对该终端设备进行鉴权。
S210,第二AMF将用于指示第二AMF已经接收到该终端设备的上下文的信息发送给第一AMF。
S211,若该第二AMF没有从该终端设备或该第一AMF处获取永久设备标识(Permanent Equipment Identifier,PEI),则该第二AMF向该终端设备发送用于请求PEI的信息。
S212,该第二AMF发起移动设备(Mobile Equipment,ME)标识鉴定。
S213,第二AMF选择UDM。
S214,第二AMF在选择后的UDM中进行注册并获取签约信息。
S215,UDM通知第一AMF删除该终端设备的上下文。
S216,第二AMF选择能够为该终端设备提供服务的PCF(例如,第二PCF)。
这里,AMF选择PCF需要考虑终端设备所在的地理位置。
具体而言,在非漫游场景下,即,终端设备位于家乡或归属公共陆地移动网络(Home Public Land Mobile Network,H-PLMN)网络,AMF只需要选择一个位于H-PLMN中的H-PCF。在漫游场景下,即,终端设备位于拜访或者访问PLMN(V-PLMN)网络,AMF需要选择两个PCF,一个PCF是位于V-PLMN中的V-PCF,另一个PCF是位于H-PLMN中的H-PCF。
需要说明的是,第二AMF选择的第二PCF有可能是之前与第一AMF建立AM策略关联的第一PCF,也有可能是与第一PCF相异的PCF。
S217,第二AMF和第二PCF建立AM策略关联。
图3所示为AMF与PCF建立AMF策略关联的流程示意图。如图3所示,
S2171,第二AMF确定要建立与第二PCF之间的AM策略关联;
S2172,第二AMF向第二PCF发送用于请求建立与第二PCF之间的AM策略关联的关联请求信息;
S2173,第二PCF向第二AMF发送AM策略;
这里,AM策略包括:接入和移动性相关策略信息(Access and mobility related policy  information)和UE接入选择和分组数据单元会话选择相关策略信息(UE access selection and Packet Data Unit(PDU)Session selection related policy information),其中,UE接入选择和PDU选择相关策略信息包括接入网发现和选择策略(Access Network Discovery&Selection Policy,ANDSP)和UE路由选择策略(UE Route Selection Policy,URSP)。
S2174,第二AMF部署AM策略,或,第二AMF部署AM策略和终端设备的上下文。其中,该第二AMF会存储将AM策略中的接入和移动性相关策略信息,将UE接入选择和PDU会话选择相关策略信息发送给该终端设备。
如上所述,AMF基于该终端设备所处的地理位置选择的PCF的类型不同,那么,AMF和PCF可以基于PCF的类型建立AMF与PCF之间针对该终端设备的策略关联。其中,第二PCF可以是第二V-PCF和第二H-PCF中的至少一个。
若该终端设备处于非漫游场景,由于第二AMF仅需要选择一个位于H-PLMN中的H-PCF,因此,第二AMF仅需要建立第二AMF与第二H-PCF之间的AM策略关联。
若该终端设备处于漫游场景,由于AMF需要选择一个位于H-PLMN中的H-PCF和一个位于V-PLMN中的V-PCF,则,在一种可能的实现方式中:在S2172中,第二AMF该关联请求信息发送给第二V-PCF,第二V-PCF将该关联请求信息发送给第二H-PCF;在S2173中,第二H-PCF将第二H-PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略发送给第二V-PCF,第二V-PCF可以将第二V-PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略和第二H-PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略做相关处理,将处理后的针对该终端设备的AM策略发送给AMF,进而,AMF部署AM策略。
需要说明的是,若第二AMF选择的第二PCF是之前与第一AMF关联的第一PCF,即第一PCF被重用,则第二AMF可以仅部署AM策略;若第二AMF选择的第二PCF与第一PCF相异,即,第一PCF未被重用,则第二AMF需要部署AM策略和该终端设备的上下文。
S218,第二AMF向SMF发送会话管理上下文更新请求,以激活协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话。
S219,若在S205中,若第一AMF未将与第一AMF关联的第一PCF的标识发送给第二AMF,则第一AMF向与第一PCF发送用于请求删除AM策略关联的删除请求信息,使得第一PCF删除存储在第一PCF中针对该终端设备的策略信息。
具体而言,图4所示为AMF与PCF删除AM策略关联的流程示意图。如图4所示,
S2191,第一AMF确定终止或删除AM策略关联;
S2192,第一AMF向第一PCF发送用于请求删除针对该终端设备的AM策略关联的删除请求信息,该删除请求信息中包括该终端设备的标识;
S2193,第一PCF删除存储在第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,并且,向第一AMF发送响应信息,以告知第一AMF已经完成针对AM策略的删除操作;
其中,第一PCF中存储的针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息至少包括:该终端设备的标识,AM策略以及对应的AM策略的标识。
S2194,第一AMF删除存储在第一AMF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
其中,第一AMF中存储的该终端设备的AM策略控制信息至少包括:第一PCF的标识和AM策略。可选地,第一AMF还可以删除第一AMF检测到的AM策略关联所请求 的事件的订阅。
应理解,第一PCF可以是第一V-PCF或第一H-PCF中的任意一个。
在漫游场景下,若仅第一H-PCF被重用,第一V-PCF未被重用,则第一AMF向第一V-PCF发送删除请求信息,使得第一V-PCF删除该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,第一H-PCF不需要删除该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,此种情况下,第一PCF为V-PCF;若H-PCF和V-PCF都未被重用,则该第一AMF向第一V-PCF发送该删除请求信息,并且,通过第一V-PCF将该删除请求信息发送给第一H-PCF,使得第一H-PCF和第一V-PCF都删除该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,此种情况下,第一PCF为第一V-PCF或第一H-PCF中的任意一个。在非漫游场景下,第一PCF仅为第一H-PCF。
需要说明的是,若第一AMF的删除请求信息可以是请求第一H-PCF删除该终端设备的AM策略关联,第一AMF向第一H-PCF发送删除请求信息可以解释为为第一AMF通过第一V-PCF向第一H-PCF发送该删除请求信息。
S220,第二AMF向该终端设备发送用于指示该终端设备的注册请求已经被接受的信息。
S221,该终端设备向第二AMF发送用于指示注册已经完成的信息。
从上述注册流程以及背景技术的描述可以看出,若第一AMF将第一PCF的标识发送给第二AMF,但是,实际上第二AMF选择的PCF并不是与第一AMF建立AM策略关联的第一PCF,而是与第一PCF相异的第二PCF,这种情况下,第一AMF与第一PCF之间的AM策略关联无法删除,浪费了系统资源。
因此,本申请实施例提供了一种用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,有助于解决上述问题。
以下,结合图5至图14,详细描述本申请实施例。
在本申请实施例中,第二AMF是当前服务该终端设备的AMF,第二PCF是当前服务该终端设备的PCF,第二PCF与第二AMF之间建立了AM策略关联;第一AMF是在第二AMF服务该终端设备之前服务该终端设备的AMF,第一PCF是在该第二PCF服务该终端设备之前服务该终端设备的PCF,第一PCF与第一AMF之间建立了AM策略关联。
也就是说,第一AMF、第二AMF、第一PCF和第二PCF都是服务该终端设备的网元,由于终端设备的移动等原因,使得服务该终端设备的AMF由第一AMF变为第二AMF,对应地,服务该终端设备的PCF由第一PCF变为第二PCF。
此外,第一AMF可以对应图2中的第一AMF,第二AMF对应图2中的第二AMF,第一PCF可以对应图2中的第一PCF,第二PCF对应图2中的第二PCF。
图5所示为本申请实施例提供的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法300的交互性示意图。下面,结合图5和图2,对方法300中的每个步骤进行详细说明。
在S310中,第一AMF向第二AMF发送第一PCF的第一PCF标识信息;
具体而言,S310可以对应图2中的S205,第一PCF标识信息可以承载于该终端设备的上下文中,由之前为该终端设备服务的第一AMF向当前为该终端设备服务的第二AMF发送第一PCF标识信息,以使得第二AMF在选择PCF时可以选择第一PCF,以便于重用第一PCF。
在S320中,第一AMF向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息,第一删除请求信息用于 请求第一PCF删除第一PCF和第一AMF之间针对终端设备的AM策略关联,第一PCF与第二PCF相异。
具体而言,第一AMF在确定第二AMF未选择第一PCF(即,第一PCF与第二PCF相异)的情况下,第一AMF会向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息,指示第一PCF删除第一PCF与第一AMF之间针对该终端设备的AM策略关联,或者说,指示第一PCF终止第一PCF与第一AMF之间针对该终端设备的AM策略关联。
因而,在S330中,第一PCF删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息;在S340中,第一AMF删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
也就是说,第一PCF在接收到第一AMF发送的第一删除请求信息后,删除存储在第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。其中,第一PCF中存储的针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息至少包括:该终端设备的标识,AM策略以及对应的AM策略的标识。
第一AMF在发送第一删除请求信息后,也会删除存储在第一AMF中的AM策略控制信息。其中,第一AMF中的AM策略控制信息至少包括:第一PCF的标识和AM策略。可选地,第一AMF还可以删除第一AMF检测到的AM策略关联所请求的事件的订阅。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一删除请求信息包括该终端设备的标识。
下面,对终端设备处于漫游场景和非漫游场景下,关于第一PCF做进一步描述。
若终端设备处在非漫游场景下,第一PCF是第一H-PCF。
若终端设备处在漫游场景下,第一PCF可以是第一H-PCF或第一V-PCF中的任意一个。当第一AMF认为第二AMF都可以重用第一H-PCF和第一V-PCF时,可以向第二AMF发送第一H-PCF的标识和第一V-PCF的标识,第一AMF最终向未被重用的PCF(V-PCF或H-PCF中的至少一个)发送第一删除请求。
若第一V-PCF未被重用,则第一AMF向第一V-PCF发送第一删除请求信息,此种情况下,第一PCF为第一V-PCF;但是,第一AMF可以向第二AMF发送第一H-PCF的标识和第一V-PCF的标识,或者,第一AMF可以仅向第二AMF发送第一V-PCF的标识,本申请实施例并不限于此。
若第一V-PCF和第一H-PCF都未被重用,则第一AMF向第一V-PCF发送第一删除请求信息,并且,通过第一V-PCF将第一删除请求信息发送给第一H-PCF,使得第一H-PCF和第一V-PCF都删除该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,此种情况下,第一PCF为第一V-PCF或第一H-PCF中的任意一个。第一AMF可以向第二AMF发送第一H-PCF的标识和第一V-PCF的标识。最终,由于由于第一H-PCF和第一V-PCF都未被重用,第一AMF向第一V-PCF发送删除请求信息,对于第一H-PCF来说,第一AMF通过第一V-PCF向第一H-PCF发送该第一删除请求信息。
因此,本申请实施例提供的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,在第二AMF选择的第二PCF和第一PCF相异的情况下,第一AMF通过向第一PCF发送用于指示该第一PCF删除AM策略关联的第一删除请求信息,可以使得该第一PCF删除对应的AM策略控制信息,有效地节省了系统资源。
在S320中,第一AMF1可以通过以下两种方式(即,方式1和方式2)确定第一PCF 和第二PCF是否相同,下面,分别对方式1和方式2进行说明。
方式1
在第一AMF在预设时长内未接收到第一PCF发送的第二删除请求信息的情况下,第一AMF向第二AMF发送第一删除请求信息,其中,第二删除请求信息用于请求第一AMF删除第一PCF和第一AMF之间针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
在本申请实施例中,为了节省系统资源,不仅可以通过第一AMF向第一PCF发送删除请求信息(例如,第一删除请求信息),也可以通过第一PCF向第一AMF发送删除请求信息(例如,第二删除请求信息)。不同之处在于:第一AMF是在第一PCF与第二PCF相异的情况下,向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息,使得第一PCF删除第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息;第一PCF是在第一PCF与第二PCF相同的情况下,向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息,目的是仅让第一AMF删除第一AMF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,但是,由于第一PCF被重用了,所以,第一PCF会保存第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
因此,若第一AMF在预设时长内未接收到第一PCF发送的删除请求信息,则表示第一PCF与第二PCF相异,第一AMF可以向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息。
此外,由于需要确认第一PCF与第二PCF是否相同,需要第二AMF完成选择PCF的过程,因此,该预设时长大于或等于第二AMF选择PCF占用的时长。
具体实现过程中,第一AMF可以在任意可能的时间通过开启定时器来设置预设时长,下面,作为举例示意性说明,通过方式1A和方式1B描述第一AMF开启定时器的时间。
方式1A
在第一AMF接收到统一数据管理UDM发送的去注册信息之后,第一AMF开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
参考图2,第一AMF接收UDM发送的去注册消息的步骤可以对应图2中的S215。
由于UDM向第一AMF发送去注册消息的时间与第二AMF选择PCF的时间较近,因此,在第一AMF接收到去注册消息后开启定时器,可以节省时间。
方式1B
在第一AMF向第二AMF发送第一PCF标识信息后,第一AMF开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
继续参考图2,第一AMF向第二AMF发送第一PCF标识信息的步骤可以对应在图2中的S205。
作为示例而非限定,第一AMF在确定自己不再服务该终端设备之后,都可以开启定=定时器设置预设时长,只是不同时间开始的定时器对应的预设时长不相同而已。例如,第一AMF也可以在接收到第二AMF发送用于请求该终端设备的上下文的消息后,开启定时器,开启的定时器对应的预设时长大于方式1A和方式1B中定时器对应的预设时长。
方式2
在第一AMF向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息之前,第一AMF可以通过接收第二AMF发送的信息来确定第一PCF和第二PCF是否相同。
下面,作为举例示意性说明,通过方式2A和方式2B描述第一AMF接收到的信息。
方式2A
第一AMF接收第二AMF发送的第二PCF的第二PCF标识信息。
如图6所示,在S310之后,在S311中,第一AMF接收第二AMF发送的第二PCF标识信息。也就是说,第二AMF只要完成选择PCF的过程,可以将选择好的PCF(例如,第二PCF)的标识发送给第一AMF,使得第一AMF可以通过接收到的第二PCF的标识和第一AMF已经确知的第一PCF的标识进行比较,若第一PCF的标识与第二PCF的标识相异,则表示第一PCF没有被重用,就可以向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息。
方式2B
第一AMF接收第二AMF发送的第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于标识第一PCF与第二PCF相异。
继续如图6所示,在S310之后,在S311中,第一AMF接收第二AMF发送的第一指示信息。
同理,第二AMF只要完成选择PCF的过程,就能确知与第二AMF建立AM策略关联的PCF,第二AMF将从第一AMF发送的该终端设备的上下文中携带的第一PCF的标识和第二PCF的标识进行比较,将比较结果(例如,第一指示信息)发送给第一AMF,或者,只有在第一PCF与第二PCF相异的情况下,才发送第一指示信息,使得第一AMF在接收到第一指示信息后,就能确定第一PCF与第二PCF是否相同,在第一PCF与第二PCF相异的情况下,则表示第一PCF没有被重用,就可以向第一PCF发送第一删除请求信息。
以上,结合图5和图6,对本申请实施例进行了详细描述;下面,结合图7至图9,通过注册过程的具体流程对本申请实施例进行详细说明。

以上,结合图5至图9,描述了本申请实施例的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,下面,结合图10,描述本申请另一实施例的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法。
同理,下文中针对第一AMF、第二AMF、第一PCF和第二PCF的解释同方法200中对第一AMF、第二AMF、第一PCF和第二PCF的解释,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
图10所示为本申请另一实施例提供的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法700的交互性示意图。下面,对方法700中的每个步骤进行详细说明。
在S701中,第一AMF向第二AMF发送用于标识第一PCF的第一PCF标识信息。
这里,S710可以对应图2中的S205,具体描述可以参考S205的描述。
在S710中,第二AMF向第二PCF发送关联请求信息,该关联请求信息用于请求建 立与第二PCF的针对终端设备的AM策略关联,该关联请求信息还包括用于确定该第二PCF与第一PCF是否相同的第二指示信息。
也就是说,第二AMF在和选择好的第二PCF建立AM策略关联过程中,可以将从第一AMF中接收到的该第二指示信息通过该关联请求信息发送给第二PCF。
该第二指示信息可以直接用于指示该第一PCF与该第二PCF是否相同,例如,“1”表示相同,“0”表示相异。这种情况下,该第二AMF可以通过在S701中获取的第一PCF的标识和该第二AMF选择的第二PCF的标识进行比较,确定该第一PCF与该第二PCF是否相同,从而将生成的该第二指示信息发送给该第二PCF,以使得该第二PCF确定自己是否被重用;或者,
该第二指示信息可以包括该第一PCF的第一PCF标识信息。这种情况下,该第二AMF可以将在S701中接收到的该第一PCF标识信息作为该第二指示信息发送给该第二PCF,使得该第二PCF可以将该第一PCF的标识与该第二PCF的标识进行比较,从而确定该第一PCF与该第二PCF是否相同。
在S720中,第二PCF根据该第二指示信息,向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息,其中,第二删除请求信息用于请求第一AMF删除第一PCF和第一AMF之间针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
即,该第二PCF根据该第二指示信息确定该第一PCF与该第二PCF是否相同,从而确定是否向该第一AMF发送删除请求信息。
下面,分别对发送第二删除请求信息和不发送第二删除请求信息做一说明。
在S720中,在第一PCF与第二PCF相同的情况下,第二PCF向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息;此外,
在S730中,第二PCF保存针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息;
在S740中,第一AMF删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
也就是说,若该第二PCF根据该第二指示信息确定该第一PCF与该第二PCF相同,则表示第一PCF被重用,第二PCF即为第一PCF,这种情况下,第一PCF(或,第二PCF)向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息,但是,第一PCF保存存储在第一PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,以便于重用该终端设备的AM策略控制信息;第一AMF在接收到第二删除请求信息后,确知自己不再与第一PCF之间存在AM策略关联,因此,删除存储在第一AMF中的AM策略控制信息。
下面,对终端设备处于漫游场景下,对第一PCF的相关步骤做进一步描述。
在漫游场景下,第一PCF是第一V-PCF或第一H-PCF中的任意一个。
若仅第一H-PCF被重用,第一V-PCF未被重用,则由第一H-PCF通过第一V-PCF发送删除请求信息,第一H-PCF保存该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,第一PCF为第一H-PCF。
若第一H-PCF和第一V-PCF都被重用,则只需要第一V-PCF发送删除请求信息,第一PCF为第一V-PCF。
若仅第一V-PCF被重用,第一H-PCF未被重用,第一V-PCF不仅向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息,也需要向第一H-PCF发送删除请求信息,以使得第一H-PCF删除存储在第一H-PCF中该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
在另一种情况下,若第一PCF与第二PCF相异下,第二PCF不向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息。
也就是说,第二PCF并不是重用的PCF,可以不用向第一AMF发送第二删除请求信息。
因此,本申请实施例提供的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,与第二AMF已经建立AM策略关联的第二PCF,通过接收该第二AMF发送的用于确定与第一AMF已经建立AM策略关联的第一PCF与该第二PCF是否相同的第二指示信息,其中,该第一AMF是在该第二AMF服务终端设备之前服务该终端设备的AMF,并且,该第二PCF根据该第二指示信息发送删除请求信息,可以使得该第二AMF删除该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,也节省了系统资源。
本申请实施例还提供了一种用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法。下面,结合图11至图14,对本申请再一实施例提供的方法进行说明。
首先,为了便于理解,先简单介绍下方法800和1000的方案思路。
与PCF建立AM策略关联的AMF在建立连接过程中可以向PCF发送自己的标识,PCF存储AMF的标识;若后续有新的AMF需要与PCF建立AMF策略关联,则PCF会替换之前接收到的AMF的标识;并且,在AMF发送在预设时长后,可以向PCF发送包括自己的标识的删除请求信息。这样,PCF可以通过前后两次接收到的AMF的标识是否相同,进一步确定自己是否被重用:若PCF前后两次接收到的AMF的标识相同,则表示自己被重用,则保存存储在PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,若PCF前后两次接收到的AMF的标识相异,则表示自己未被重用,则删除存储在PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
其中,方法800描述的是PCF被重用的情况的技术方案,方法1000描述的是PCF未被重用的情况的技术方案。
下面,分别对方法800和方法1000进行描述。
在方法800中,第四AMF是当前服务该终端设备的AMF,第三PCF是当前服务该终端设备的PCF,第三PCF与第四AMF之间建立了AM策略关联;第三AMF是在第四AMF服务该终端设备之前服务该终端设备的AMF,同时,在第三AMF服务该终端设备的过程中,第三PCF与第三AMF之间也建立了AM策略关联。
图11所示为本申请另一实施例提供的用于终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法800的交互性示意图。
S810,第三AMF向第三PCF发送用于请求建立与第三PCF的针对终端设备的AM策略关联的第一关联请求信息,第一关联请求信息还包括用于指示第三AMF的第三删除请求信息。
也就是说,在第三AMF和第三PCF建立AM策略关联过程中,在第一关联请求信息中携带第三AMF的标识。
S820,第四AMF向第三PCF发送用于请求建立与第三PCF的针对终端设备的AM策略关联的第二关联请求信息,第二关联请求信息还包括用于指示第四AMF的第四AMF标识信息。
当终端设备由于移动等原因,之前为该终端设备服务的AMF由第三AMF变为第四 AMF那么,第四AMF需要与第三PCF重新建立AM策略关联。同理,第三AMF在向第三PCF发送第二关联请求信息时携带第四AMF的标识。
需要说明的是,当第三PCF前后都是在与AMF建立策略关联过程中接收AMF的标识后来接收到的AMF的标识会替换之前接收到的AMF的标识,例如,第三PCF会将存储在第三PCF中的第三AMF的标识替换为第四AMF的标识。这样,可以保证第三PCF能用最近接收到的AMF的标识和在S830中接收到的AMF的标识进行比较。
S830,第三AMF在预设时长后,向第三PCF发送第三删除请求信息,第三删除请求信息用于请求第三PCF删除第三PCF和第三AMF之间针对该终端设备的AM策略关联,第三删除请求信息还包括第三AMF标识信息。
具体而言,第三AMF在该预设时长后向第三PCF发送第三删除请求信息,其中,该预设时长大于或等于第四AMF选择PCF的时长,可以使得第三PCF在得到最新的与第三PCF建立AM策略关联的AMF的标识(即,第四AMF的标识)后,有效地将最新存储的第四AMF的标识和第三删除请求信息中的第三AMF的标识进行比较。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第三AMF接收到统一数据管理UDM发送的去注册信息之后,第三AMF开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
参考图2,第三AMF接收UDM发送的去注册消息的步骤可以对应图2中的S215。
由于UDM向第三AMF发送去注册消息的时间与第四AMF选择PCF的时间较近,因此,在第三AMF接收到去注册消息后开启定时器,可以节省时间。
作为示例而非限定,在第三AMF向第四AMF发送第三PCF标识信息后,第三AMF也可以开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
继续参考图2,第三AMF向第四AMF发送第三PCF标识信息的步骤可以对应在图2中的S205。
S840,第三PCF根据第四AMF标识信息和第三删除请求信息,不删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
即,第三PCF将第四AMF和第三AMF进行比较,确定两个AMF相异,则表示第三PCF之前已经和为该终端设备服务的第三AMF建立了AM策略关联,现在也和同样为该终端设备服务的第四AMF建立了AM策略关联,那么,意味着第三PCF被重用了,因此,第三PCF不删除第三PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息,将其保存。
S850,第三AMF删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
因此,本申请实施例提供的终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,每个需要与PCF(例如,第三PCF)建立AM策略关联的AMF(例如,第三AMF或第四AMF)在建立AM策略关联连接过程向该第三PCF发送自己的标识,并且,在预设时长后发送携带自己的标识的删除请求信息,该第三PCF通过在建立AM策略关联时接收到最近的AMF的标识(例如,第四AMF的标识)和接收到的删除请求信息中携带的AMF的标识(例如,第三AMF的标识)进行比较,在两个AMF相异的情况下,该第三PCF保存AM策略控制信息,仅第三AMF删除AM策略控制信息,不仅重用了PCF中的AM策略控制信息,也节省了系统资源。
下面,结合图12,通过注册过程的具体流程对PCF被重用的情况的实施例进行详细说明。
S9011,第三AMF在与第三PCF建立AM策略关联时向第三PCF发送第一关联请求信息,第一关联请求信息中携带第三AMF的第三AMF标识信息。

具体而言,第三AMF在该预设时长后向第三PCF发送第三删除请求信息,其中,该预设时长大于或等于第四AMF选择PCF的时长,可以使得第三PCF在得到最新的与第三PCF建立AM策略关联的AMF的标识(即,第三AMF的标识)后,有效地将最新存储的第三AMF的标识和第三删除请求信息中的第三AMF的标识进行比较。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在第三AMF接收到统一数据管理UDM发送的去注册信息之后,第三AMF开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
参考图2,第三AMF接收UDM发送的去注册消息的步骤可以对应图2中的S215。
由于UDM向第三AMF发送去注册消息的时间与第四AMF选择PCF的时间较近,因此,在第三AMF接收到去注册消息后开启定时器,可以节省时间。
作为示例而非限定,在第三AMF向第四AMF发送第三PCF标识信息后,第三AMF也可以开启定时器,该定时器的时长为该预设时长。
继续参考图2,第三AMF向第四AMF发送第三PCF标识信息的步骤可以对应在图2中的S205。
S1040,第三PCF根据第三AMF标识信息和第三删除请求信息,删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
即,第三PCF将从接收到的最近的关联请求信息(即,第一关联请求信息)中携带的AMF的标识和从第三删除请求信息中携带的AMF的标识进行比较,确定两个AMF相同,则表示PCF未被重用,第四AMF选择了其他PCF,因此,第三PCF删除第三PCF中针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
S1050,第三AMF删除针对该终端设备的AM策略控制信息。
因此,本申请实施例提供的终止接入和移动性管理策略关联的方法,每个需要与PCF建立AM策略关联的AMF(例如,第三AMF或第四AMF)在建立AM策略关联连接过程向PCF(例如,第三PCF)发送自己的标识,并且,在预设时长后发送携带自己的标识的删除请求信息,该第三PCF通过在建立AM策略关联时接收到最近的AMF的标识(例如,第三AMF的标识)和接收到的删除请求信息中携带的AMF的标识(例如,第三AMF的标识)进行比较,在两个AMF相同的情况下,该第三PCF删除AM策略控制信息,AMF也删除AM策略控制信息,节省了系统资源。
