技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及网络接入方法、相关装置及系统。
背景技术
通用化的功能设计和前向兼容的“接入网络——核心网”接口使得通用化的5G核心网络(the 5th generation core,5GC)能够与不同的接入网络一起工作。除了支持无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)外,5GC还需支持固定网络/有线网络的接入,如5G家庭网关(5G residential gateway,5G RG)/客户终端设备(customer premise equipment,CPE)通过有线5G接入网络(wireline 5G access network,W-5GAN)接入5GC。
在家庭网关通过有线5G接入网络接入到5GC的场景下,5GC能力用户设备(5GC capable UE)可以通过5G家庭网关接入5GC。此时,5GC能力用户设备为远端设备,5G家庭网关为中继设备。为了实现远端设备通过中继设备接入5GC,目前亟待一种技术方案来支持这种接入方式。

不限于5G通信系统,图1A-1C示出的系统架构还可以是未来演进的新空口(new radio,NR)系统,机器与机器通信(machine to machine,M2M)系统等。如图图1A-1C所示,该系统架构可包括5GC能力用户设备、5G RG、NG RAN设备、W-5G AN设备和核心网设备。其中:
5GC能力用户设备(5G capable UE):是一种用户设备(userequipment,UE),具备接入3gpp定义的5G核心网(5GC)的能力。5GC能力用户设备可以通过NG RAN接入 核心网,也可以通过5G RG接入核心网。5GC能力用户设备可以为手持终端、用户单元(subscriberunit)、蜂窝电话(cellularphone)、智能电话(smartphone)、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端设备等。无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptopcomputer)、无绳电话(cordlessphone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台、或是其他可以接入网络的设备。除了5GC能力用户设备,该系统架构还可以支持仅具有3gpp定义的无线接入能力的终端设备接入核心网,还可以支持仅具有non-3gpp定义的接入能力的终端设备(如平板电脑)接入核心网。
5G RG:是一种家庭网关,可以通过W-5G AN接入到5GC。本申请中,5G RG还可支持5GC能力用户设备通过5G RG接入5GC。家庭网关是整个家庭网络的核心,它主要实现Internet接入和家庭内部异构子网的连接,以及远程控制与管理等功能。

W-5G AN设备:是一种有AN设备。AN设备可以是non-3GPP定义的接入网设备。AN设备允许终端设备和3GPP核心网之间采用非3GPP技术互连互通,其中,非3GPP技术例如:无线保真(wirelessfidelity,Wi-Fi)、全球微波互联接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)网络等。除了W-5G AN设备,该系统架构还可以支持其他non-3GPP定义的接入网设备,如Wi-Fi路由器。
核心网设备可如图1A-1C所示包括UPF、AMF、UDM、SMF、PCF、AUSF等。这些核心网设备构成5GC,能够支持3gpp接入网和non-3gpp接入网。其中:
用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元:负责数据包的转发和接收。UPF网元可以从数据网络接收用户数据,通过接入网设备传输给终端设备;UPF网元还可以通过接入网设备从终端设备接收用户数据,转发到数据网络。UPF网元中为终端设备提供服务的传输资源和调度功能由SMF网元管理控制的。UPF网元可以缓存数据包。
接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元:属于核心网网元,主要负责信令处理部分,例如:接入控制、移动性管理、附着与去附着以及网关选择等功能。AMF网元为终端设备中的会话提供服务的情况下,会为该会话提供控制面的存储资源,以存储会话标识、与会话标识关联的SMF网元标识等。
统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)网元:统一的数据管理,由两部分构成,一部分叫应用前段(FE),另一部分叫用户数据仓库(UDR)。FE可以访问存储在UDR中的订阅用户信息,并支持鉴权信用处理、用户标识处理、访问授权、订阅管理、 短消息管理等。UDR是一个用户订阅数据存储服务器,提供订阅数据存储服务。
会话管理功能(sess ion management function,SMF)网元:负责用户面网元选择,用户面网元重定向,因特网协议(internetprotocol,IP)地址分配,数据传输通道的建立、修改和释放以及QoS控制。SMF网元可以缓存数据包。
策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)网元:主要支持提供统一的策略框架来控制网络行为,提供策略规则给控制层设备以及终端设备提供策略信息,同时负责获取与策略决策相关的用户签约信息。
鉴权服务器功能(authentication server function,AUSF)网元:主要提供认证和鉴权功能。
另外,该系统架构还包括数据网络(data network,DN),DN为由应用功能组成的向终端设备提供应用数据服务器的网络。
为了简化附图,核心网中的非结构化数据存储网络功能(unstructured data storage network function,UDSF)、结构化数据存储网络功能(structured data storage network function,SDSF)和NF存储功能(NF repository function,NRF)未示出。
图1A-1C示出的系统架构中的各个成员(如5G capable UE、5G RG、W-5G AN等)的命名在未来通信标准中可能发生变化,这不影响本申请提供的技术方案的适用性。
图1A-1C示出的系统架构仅仅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。
本申请提供一种网络接入方法,可实现用户设备(UE)通过家庭网关接入5GC,使得5GC支持更多接入方式,提升固网和移动网络的融合度。
在UE通过家庭网关接入核心网的场景中,UE可以为图1A-1C所示的系统架构中的5GC capable UE,家庭网关可以为图1A-1C所示的系统架构中的5G RG。
本申请的主要发明原理可包括:基于5G RG的签约数据来确定以下两个问题:1)判断家庭网关是否允许UE接入。2)当5G RG允许UE接入时,判断UE的接入模型(包括签约用户接入、非签约用户接入)。签约用户接入为家庭成员通过5G RG接入5GC,非签约用户接入为非家庭成员(如访客用户或陌生人)通过5G RG接入5GC。
本申请中,5G RG的签约数据可指示5G RG的签约用户有哪些。5G RG的签约数据可指示5G RG允许哪些用户接入。
具体的,5G RG的签约数据可包括以下信息:
1)签约用户列表:即5G RG的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息。签约用户列表中的用户设备的标识信息表示该用户设备为签约用户,即家庭成员。用户设备的标识信息可以为UE的永久标识信息或UE的移动签约用户的国际ISDN/PSTN号码(Mobile Subscriber International ISDN/PSTN number,MSISDN)中的至少一个。这里,ISDN是综合业务数字网(Integrated Service Digital Network)的简称,PSTN是公共交换电话网络(Public Switched Telephone Network)的简称。
2)5G RG的接入类型的指示信息。5G RG的接入类型可包括开放(open)类型,封 闭类型/私有(private)类型。封闭类型/私有类型表示5G RG只允许签约用户接入,不允许非签约用户接入。开放类型表示5G RG不但允许签约用户接入,还允许非签约用户接入。
其中,签约用户列表可用于网络侧确定UE的签约类型(签约用户或者非签约用户),从而确定UE的接入模型,即是签约用户接入还是非签约用户接入。
其中,5G RG的接入类型可用于网络侧确定UE是否被允许接入5G RG。如果5G RG的接入类型为开放类型,则表示UE被允许接入5G RG。如果5G RG的接入类型为封闭类型/私有类型,则还需要结合签约用户列表确定UE是否被允许接入5G RG。如果UE的标识信息属于签约用户列表,该UE被允许接入5G RG,否则,该UE不被允许接入5G RG。
应理解的,如果连接到5G RG的UE的标识信息属于签约用户列表,则网络侧可以确定该UE被允许接入5G RG。即签约用户被允许接入5G RG,不论该5G RG的接入类型为开放类型还是封闭类型/私有类型。
不限于1)和2),5G RG的签约数据的内容还可以实现成其他形式,具体可参考后续实施例,这里先不赘述。
本申请中,签约类型的指示信息可以为终端设备分类信息,上述终端设备分类信息为终端设备分类列表信息,或终端设备分类的指示信息。具体来说,终端设备分类列表信息包含至少一个终端设备标识,上述终端设备属于相同的终端设备分类。例如,上述终端设备分类列表为签约的终端设备列表或非签约的终端设备列表。终端设备分类的指示信息可以为终端设备分类的标识。如终端设备分类的指示信息为签约的终端设备指示信息或非签约的终端设备指示信息。这样,核心网设备判断便可以基于终端设备的分类判断出该终端设备是否被允许接入或者进行策略控制(例如Qos策略控制或者家庭网关本地策略控制)。具体的,若终端设备的标识信息属于签约的终端设备分类列表,则允许远端设备接入;若终端设备的标识信息不属于签约的终端设备分类列表,则不允许远端设备接入。
本申请中,5GC能够对UE执行不同的主机策略(Host policy)或访客策略(Guest policy),例如不同的QoS控制,使用特定资源(如打印机)的许可,或者被允许接入互联网(Internet)。主机策略被提供给属于5G RG的签约用户的UE,例如,家庭成员的用户设备。访客策略被提供给不属于5G RG的签约用户的UE,例如,访客的用户设备。
可以理解的,网络侧区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制,例如不同的QoS控制。尤其当网络资源受限时,网络侧可优先保证签约用户的接入,限制非签约用户接入。关于5GC对UE执行的差异化的业务管理策略(如主机策略和访客策略),本申请不作限制,具体可根据5G或NR支持的应用场景来确定。
下面通过实施例来详细说明本申请提供的网络接入方法。后续实施例将涉及UE注册的UDM、5G RG注册的UDM网元,二者可以是同一个UDM网元,也可以是不同的UDM网元。在UE、5G RG分别属于不同网络运营商的情况下,UE、5G RG所注册的UDM网元 是不同的UDM网元。在UE、5G RG都属于同一个网络运营商的情况下,UE、5G RG所注册的UDM网元可以是同一个UDM网元或者不同的UDM网元。同样的,后续实施例将涉及的服务于UE的AMF网元、服务于5G RG的AMF网元可以是同一个AMF网元,也可以是不同的AMF网元。后续内容中,将UDM网元简化称为UDM,将AMF网元简化称为AMF。
为了区别,后续实施例中将5G RG注册的UDM称为UDM1,将UE注册的UDM称为UDM2,。类似的,将服务于5G RG的AMF称为AMF1,将服务于UE的AMF称为AMF2。
(一)实施例一
本实施例中,由UDM负责确定UE的接入模型(包括签约用户接入、非签约用户接入),以及确定家庭网关是否允许UE接入。如图2所示,实施例一提供的网络接入方法可包括:
(1)第一阶段:UE发起接入请求。具体可包括:
S101,UE与5G RG建立连接,如通过WLAN接口建立连接。可选的,5G RG或者5G RG接入的W-5G AN设备可以为UE分配IP地址。
在S101之前,5G RG可以注册到5GC,5G RG注册的核心网网元为AMF1。关于5G RG注册到5GC的流程,具体可参考3gpp标准协议定义的注册流程,这里不赘述。
S103-S105,UE与W-5G AN设备建立连接。
本申请不限制UE与W-5G AN设备建立连接的方式。
例如,UE可以通过IKEv2消息建立与W-5G AN设备之间的连接。如S103-S105所示,UE发送IKE安全连接初始(IKE_SA_INIT)消息给W-5G AN设备,然后W-5G AN设备发送IKE_SA_INIT回复消息。然后,UE发送鉴权请求(IKE_AUTH request)消息给W-5G AN设备。这里,IKE表示因特网秘钥交换(Internet Key Exchange)协议。
又例如,在UE与5G-RG建立连接后,UE可以与5G-RG、W-5GAN之间交互扩展认证协议(Extensible Authentication Protocol,EAP)消息,用以建立W-5G AN设备之间的连接。该EAP消息可包括EAP-request/response消息,EAP-request/identity消息,或EAP-response/identity消息,或EAP-Request/5G start消息,或EAP-Response/5G-NAS消息等。UE发送该EAP消息给W-5GAN,其中携带AN参数(AN-parameter)、及非接入层(Non-access stratum,NAS)消息。该NAS消息为注册请求消息或移动注册更新请求消息或周期性位置更新请求消息或服务请求消息等。
S106,UE可以基于UE与W-5G AN设备建立的连接,向W-5G AN设备发送请求消息。该请求消息可以是NAS消息。该请求消息可以携带在EAP消息中发送给W-5GAN,详见S103-105。该请求消息可包括UE的标识信息,用于请求接入核心网(5GC)。W-5G AN设备可以转发该NAS消息到AMF2,具体可以参考S109。
(2)第二阶段:网络侧获取5G RG的标识信息和5G RG的签约数据。具体可包括:
S107,5G RG向W-5G AN设备发送5G RG的临时标识信息。
5G RG的临时标识信息可用来在核心网侧索引到5G RG的上下文。5G RG的临时标识可以包括全球唯一临时标识(globally unique temporary identifier,GUTI),即网络侧(5GC)为5G RG分配的临时标识。关于5G RG如何发送5G RG的临时标识信息,本申请对此不作限制。例如,5G RG发送基于以太网的点对点消息(Point-to-Point over  Ethernet,PPPoE),或其他控制面消息,该消息可以携带5G RG的临时标识信息。可选的,该消息还可携带UE的IP地址。
可选的,S106中UE向W-5G AN设备发送的请求消息中还可携带5G RG的临时标识信息,该5G RG的临时标识信息可由UE获取到。如S102所示,在与5G RG建立连接之后,UE可以通过接入网查询协议(Access Network Query Protocol,ANQP)查询获取5G RG的临时标识信息。具体的,UE可接收到5G RG发送的ANQP消息或EAP消息,这些消息中含有5G RG的临时标识。或者,UE可以通过EAP消息获取5G-RG的临时标识信息。具体的,5G-RG在发送给UE的EAP消息中携带5G-RG的临时标识。该EAP消息可以为EAP-Request/Identity消息或EAP-request/5G-start消息。
S108,W-5G AN设备可以为UE选择AMF2。具体的,W-5G AN设备可以基于切片选择信息或者UE的标识信息或者AMF的标识信息选择AMF2。基于切片选择信息时,UE发送给W-5GAN的消息中含有UE请求的切片信息。网络侧不同的AMF负责不同的切片,因此W-5GAN可以基于切片信息选择到负责该切片的AMF2。或者,UE发送UE的标识信息给W-5GAN,上述UE的标识信息中含有AMF的标识,W-5GAN选择该AMF标识对应的AMF2。或者,UE直接发送AMF的标识信息给W-5GAN,W-5GAN选择该AMF标识对应的AMF2.
S109,W-5G AN设备可以向AMF2发送请求消息,该请求消息可以包括UE的标识信息、5G RG的临时标识信息,用于UE请求接入核心网。该请求消息可以是N2消息,N2是W-5G AN设备与AMF之间的参考点。可选的,W-5G AN设备可以将UE发送的NAS消息(可参考S106)携带在该N2消息中,这样W-5G AN设备可以转发该NAS消息到AMF2,用于UE向AMF2请求接入核心网。
S110-S111,AMF2基于5G RG的临时标识信息获取5G RG的永久标识信息。5G RG的永久标识信息用于后续获取5G RG的签约数据。
综合前述步骤可以看出,AMF2可以通过如下方式先获取5G RG的临时标识信息:
方式1,AMF2从UE发送的NAS信令中获取5G RG的临时标识信息。
具体的,UE获取5G RG的临时标识信息(可参考S102),然后通过NAS消息(经W-5G AN设备转发)携带5G RG的临时标识信息并发送到AMF2。
方式2,AMF2从W-5G AN设备获取5G RG的临时标识信息。该临时标识信息可以是5G RG发送给W-5G AN设备的,具体可参考S107。
在获得5G RG的临时标识信息之后,AMF2可以基于该临时标识信息从5G RG的上下文(context)中获取5G RG的永久标识信息。
在AMF1和AMF2不是同一个AMF的情况下,如S110-S111所示,5G RG的上下文存储于AMF1上,AMF2可以基于5G RG的临时标识信息查找到服务5G RG的AMF1,并向AMF1发送请求消息。可选的,该请求消息还可以包括SUPI请求指示,表示请求获得5G RG的永久标识信息。相应的,AMF1可以基于5G RG的临时标识信息查找5G RG的上下文,并从上下文中获取5G RG的永久标识信息,并将该永久标识信息发送给AMF2。该请求消息中携带有5G RG的临时标识信。可选的,该请求消息中还可以携带请求永久标识信息的指示。永久标识信息可以是签约用户永久标识(subscriber permanent identifier,SUPI)。
应理解的,在AMF1和AMF2是同一个AMF的情况下,S110-S111所示的交互过程不再需要,AMF可以基于5G RG的临时标识信息直接从本地存储的5G RG的上下文中获取到5G RG的永久标识信息。
S112,AMF2可以基于鉴权认证流程完成UE的鉴权认证。具体的,AMF2基于UE的标识信息查找出负责存储UE的签约数据的UDM2。然后,UDM2与AUSF基于UE的签约数据中的鉴权向量完成UE的鉴权认证流程。该鉴权认证流程可具体参考3gpp标准中的相关协议,这里不再赘述。
S113,AMF2基于5G RG的永久标识信息查找出负责存储5G RG的签约数据的UDM1,并向UDM1发送请求消息,该请求消息可包括UE的标识信息以及5G RG的永久标识信息。可选的,该请求消息还可携带接入请求指示,表示该UE的标识信息所表征的UE请求使用该5G RG SUPI所表征的5G RG接入核心网。可选的,该请求消息中还可携带AMF2的标识信息,这样UDM1可以存储AMF2的标识信息,可用于在后续5G RG的签约数据发生更新的条件下通知AMF2更新UE的签约类型。相应的,UDM1接收到AMF2发送的该请求消息。
(3)第三阶段:核心网基于5G RG的签约数据确定UE的接入模型。具体可包括:
S114-S115,在接收到AMF2发送的请求消息之后,UDM1可以基于5G RG的永久标识信息确定5G RG的签约数据。然后,UDM1可以基于5G RG的签约数据确定UE的签约类型。UDM1还可以基于5G RG的签约数据确定UE是否被允许接入5G RG。
5G RG的签约数据可包括以下信息:
1)签约用户列表:5G RG的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息。签约用户列表中的用户设备的标识信息表示该用户设备为签约用户,即家庭成员。
2)5G RG的接入类型的指示信息。5G RG的接入类型可包括开放(open)类型,封闭类型/私有(pr ivate)类型。封闭类型/私有类型表示5G RG只允许签约用户接入,不允许非签约用户接入。开放类型表示5G RG不但允许签约用户接入,还允许非签约用户接入。也即是说,接入类型可用于指示5G RG是否允许非签约用户接入。
具体的,UDM1可以基于签约用户列表的接入模型确定UE的接入模型。如果UE的标识信息属于签约用户列表中的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息,则UDM1可以确定该UE为5G RG的签约用户。
具体的,UDM1可以通过以下方式确定UE是否被允许接入5G RG:
1)如果UE的标识信息属于上述签约用户列表(即5G RG的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息),则UDM1可确定该UE被允许接入5G RG,不论该5G RG的接入类型为开放类型还是封闭类型/私有类型。
2)如果UE的标识信息属于上述签约用户列表(即5G RG的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息),但5G RG的接入类型指示5G RG允许非签约用户接入(即接入类型为开放类型),则UDM1可确定该UE被允许接入5G RG。
3)如果UE的标识信息不属于上述签约用户列表(即5G RG的签约用户的用户设备的标识信息),且5G RG的接入类型指示5G RG不允许非签约用户接入(即接入类型为私有类型),则UDM1可确定该UE不被允许接入5G RG。
不限于上述签约用户列表和5G RG的接入类型的指示信息,5G RG的签约数据的内容还可以实现成其他形式,只要能够指示5G RG的签约用户有哪些,5G RG允许哪些用户接入即可。例如,该签约数据可包括一个映射表,该映射表中有多个UE的标识信息以及这多个UE的标识信息各自的对应的签约类型的指示信息,其中,这多个UE的标识信息可包括签约用户的UE的标识信息,还可包括非签约用户的UE的标识信息。这样,UDM1可以根据特定UE的标识信息从这个映射表中查找出该特定UE对应的签约类型。
S116,UDM1可以向AMF2发送响应消息。该响应消息含可包括UE的签约类型的指示信息。相应的,AMF2可以接收到UDM1发送的该响应消息,并根据UE的签约类型确定该UE的业务管理策略(如QoS控制)。这样可实现网络侧区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制。
可选的,在UE为签约用户的条件下,AMF2还可以确定该UE被允许接入5G RG。
具体的,该响应消息还可包括接入指示信息,该接入指示信息指示UE是否被允许接入5G RG。当不允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为拒绝接入指示;当允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为允许接入指示。可选的,对于允许接入的UE,AMF2可以将该UE的签约类型存储在该UE的上下文中。
在一些可选的实施例中,UDM1还可以将5G RG的签约数据发送给AMF2,由AMF2来确定UE的签约类型,以及UE是否被允许接入5G RG。具体的,AMF2确定UE的签约类型以及UE是否被允许接入5G RG的实现方式和UDM1采用的方式可以相同,具体可参考S114-S115,这里不再赘述。
在一些可选的实施例中,UDM1还可以在确定出UE被允许接入5G RG之后,将签约用户列表发送给AMF2,这样AMF2便可以根据该签约用户列表确定出接入5G RG的UE的接入模型,从而采用相应的业务管理策略,如QoS控制。
S117-S118,AMF2基于现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程完成UE的接入过程,如允许接入流程或拒绝接入流程。关于该现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程,可具体参考3gpp标准中的相关协议,这里不再赘述。
可选的,AMF2可以向W-5G AN设备或者5G RG发送接入指示信息,该接入指示信息用于指示UE是否被允许接入5G RG。具体的,该指示信息可以为安全秘钥(key),这样W-5GAN可以基于收到安全Key确定UE的鉴权认证成功,因此确定UE被允许接入。或者,该指示信息可以为EAP-Success消息,这样5G-RG基于收到EAP-success消息可以判断UE的鉴权认证成功,因此确定UE被允许接入。可选的,AMF2还可以向W-5G AN设备或者5G RG或UE发送UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略(如QoS控制,或本地资源访问权限等)的指示信息。具体的,上述接入指示信息、或/和UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略通过N2接口消息由AMF2发送给W-5GAN,或者,通过NAS(Non-Access-Stratum)消息由AMF2发送给5G-RG或UE。
可选的,在接收到接入指示信息、UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略的指示信息之后,W-5G AN设备可以向5G RG或者UE发送接入指示信息、UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略的指示信息。具体的,该指示信息可以为安全秘钥(key),这样W-5GAN可以基于收到安全Key确定UE的鉴权认证成功,因此确定 UE被允许接入。或者,该指示信息可以为EAP-Success消息,这样5G-RG或UE基于收到EAP-success消息可以判断UE的鉴权认证成功,因此确定UE被允许接入。或者,该指示信息可以为NAS成功消息,这样UE基于NAS成功消息可确定UE被允许接入。具体的,接入指示信息、或/和UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略由W-5GAN通过接入侧消息发给5G-RG或UE。该接入侧消息如PPPoE消息或EAP消息或其他固网接入侧消息。
可选的,在接收到接入指示信息、UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略的指示信息之后,5G RG可以向UE发送接入指示信息、UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略的指示信息。具体的,该指示信息可以为EAP-Success消息,这样UE基于收到EAP-success消息可以判断UE的鉴权认证成功,因此确定UE被允许接入。或者,该指示信息可以为NAS成功消息,这样UE基于NAS成功消息可确定UE被允许接入。具体的,接入指示信息、或/和UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略由5G-RG通过空口侧消息发给UE。该空口侧消息如PC5接口消息或EAP消息或WLAN接口消息或蓝牙接口消息等。
(4)第四阶段:5G RG的签约数据发生更新。具体可包括:
S119,UDM1上存储的5G RG的签约数据发生更新。例如,5G RG的接入类型由开放类型变成了私有类型,或者签约用户列表发生更新。
可选的,UDM1可以基于更新后的5G RG的签约数据重新确定UE的签约类型,以及重新确定UE是否被允许接入5G RG。
可选的,UDM1还可以将更新后的5G RG的签约数据发送给AMF2,由AMF2基于更新后的5G RG的签约数据重新确定UE的签约类型以及UE是否被允许接入5G RG。
S120,在5G RG的签约数据发生更新的条件下,UDM1可以根据AMF2的标识信息向AMF2发送接入更新消息。
具体的,该接入更新消息实现如下:
1)如果5G RG的接入类型由开放类型变为私有类型,且UE的签约类型为非签约用户,则该接入更新消息可包括拒绝接入指示。
2)如果更新后的5G RG的签约用户列表表明UE的签约发生改变,则该接入更新消息可包括UE的更新后的签约类型的指示信息,用以通知AMF2调整UE的接入模型,以及UE的业务管理策略。
3)该接入更新消息可包括更新后的5G RG的接入类型和更新后的签约用户列表中的至少一项,由AMF2基于更新后的5G RG的接入类型和/或更新后的签约用户列表确定UE的签约类型,以及UE是否被允许接入5G RG。
S121,AMF2向UE发送通知消息。该通知消息可用于将UE的变化后的签约类型通知给UE。在UE不能再使用5G RG接入核心网的条件下,该通知消息可携带重选指示,该重选指示用于通知UE重新选择5G RG进行接入。
S122,可选的,如果接收到AMF2发送的重选指示,则UE可释放与源5G RG的连接,并选择其他5G RG接入5GC。
通过图2所示的实施例一,UDM可以基于5G RG的签约数据区分UE的不同接入模 型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制,例如不同的QoS控制。尤其当网络资源受限时,网络侧可优先保证签约用户的接入,限制非签约用户接入。这样可实现5GC对更多接入方式的支持,提升了固网和移动网络的融合度。
(二)实施例二
实施例二与实施例一的主要区别在于,AMF2获取5G RG的标识信息的方式不同。
如图3所示,实施例二提供的网络接入方法可包括:
(1)第一阶段:UE发起接入请求。
S201,UE与5G RG建立连接,如通过WLAN接口建立连接。可选的,5G RG或者5G RG接入的W-5G AN设备可以为UE分配IP地址。

S205,UE可以基于UE与W-5G AN设备建立的连接,向W-5G AN设备发送请求消息。该请求消息可包括UE的标识信息,用于请求接入核心网(5GC)。该请求消息可以是NAS消息。W-5G AN设备可以转发该NAS消息到AMF1,具体可以参考S207。
(2)第二阶段:网络侧获取5G RG的标识信息和5G RG的签约数据。具体可包括:
S206-S207,W-5G AN设备识别5G RG,获得5G RG的线路标识(line ID)、或5G RG GUTI或N2接口5G RG临时标识等临时标识信息。此外,W-5GAN确定5G RG上下文,从5G RG上下文中获取5G RG连接的AMF1,并向AMF1发送请求消息。该请求消息可以包括UE的标识信息、5G RG的临时标识信息。上述5G RG的临时标识信息包括5G RG的线路标识(line ID)、或5G RG GUTI、或N2接口5G RG临时标识中的至少一个。该请求消息可以是N2消息,N2是W-5G AN设备与AMF之间的参考点。可选的,W-5G AN设备可以将UE发送的NAS消息(可参考S205)携带在该N2消息中,这样W-5G AN设备可以转发该NAS消息到AMF2,用于UE向AMF2请求接入核心网。
相应的,AMF1接收到W-5G AN设备发送的该请求消息,并基于5G RG的临时标识信息索引到5G RG上下文,并从5G RG的上下文中获取5G RG的永久标识信息。
具体的,W-5GAN识别5G RG的方案包括但不限于如下几种:
1)W-5GAN基于UE的local IP地址识别5G RG,即识别上述IP地址所属的IP地址空间由哪个5G RG分配,从而确定5G RG。
2)UE的IP地址由W-5G AN设备基于DHCP流程分配。在该IP地址分配过程中,W-5G AN设备可以从DHCP消息中获得5G RG连接的线路标识,即line ID。W-5G AN设备可以基于line ID与5G RG对应关系识别5G RG。
可选的,W-5G AN设备还可以基于5G RG的虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Network,VLAN)标识或UE当前的接入点标识识别出5G RG。
S208,AMF1可以为UE选择AMF2。具体的,AMF1可以基于切片选择信息或者UE的标识信息选择AMF2。
S209,AMF1向AMF2发送通知消息,该通知消息可以包括UE的标识信息、5G RG的永久标识信息。该通知消息可以是N1通知消息(N1messageNotify),N1是UE与AMF之间的参考点。可选的,AMF1可以将UE发送的NAS消息(可参考S205)携带在该N1通知消息中。
相应的,AMF2可以接收到AMF2发送的该通知消息,并获得其中携带的5G RG的永久标识信息。
后续流程(S210-S220)与实施例一中的S112-S122相同,这里不再赘述。
(三)实施例三
本实施例中,由AMF1负责确定UE的接入模型(包括签约用户接入、非签约用户接入),以及确定家庭网关是否允许UE接入。与实施例一、实施例二不同的是,实施例无需AMF2与UDM1交互来确定5G RG的签约数据。
如图4所示,实施例三提供的网络接入方法可包括:
S301-S306:UE发起接入请求。
具体可参考实施例一中的第一阶段,这里不再赘述。

在确定出UE的签约类型以及UE是否被允许接入5G RG之后,AMF1可以向AMF2发送响应消息。该响应消息含可包括UE的签约类型的指示信息。相应的,AMF2可以接收到AMF1发送的该响应消息,并根据UE的签约类型确定该UE的业务管理策略(如QoS控制)。这样可实现网络侧区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制。
可选的,在UE为签约用户的条件下,AMF2还可以确定该UE被允许接入5G RG。
具体的,该响应消息还可包括接入指示信息,该接入指示信息指示UE是否被允许接入5G RG。当不允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为拒绝接入指示;当允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为允许接入指示。可选的,对于允许接入的UE,AMF2可以将该UE的签约类型存储在该UE的上下文中。
S314,可选的,如AMF 1可以存储AMF2的标识信息,可用于在后续5G RG的签约数据发生更新的条件下通知AMF2更新UE的签约类型。AMF1还可以存储UE的标识信息,可用于判断该UE的签约数据是否发生改变。如果该UE的签约类型从签约用户变为非签 约用户,则需要有针对性的通知该UE。
S315,AMF2可以基于鉴权认证流程完成UE的鉴权认证。关于鉴权认证流程,可具体参考3gpp相关协议,这里不再赘述。
S316-S317,AMF2基于现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程完成UE的接入过程,如允许接入流程或拒绝接入流程。关于该现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程,可具体参考3gpp标准中的相关协议,这里不再赘述。

S323,可选的,如果接收到AMF2发送的重选指示,UE可释放与源5G RG的连接,并选择其他5G RG接入5GC。
通过图4所示的实施例一,AMF可以基于5G RG的签约数据区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制,例如不同的QoS控制。尤其当网络资源受限时,网 络侧可优先保证签约用户的接入,限制非签约用户接入。这样可实现5GC对更多接入方式的支持,提升了固网和移动网络的融合度。
不限于图4所示,在实施例三中,AMF2还可以采用实施例二中描述的方式来获取5G RG的临时标识信息。
另外,本申请还提供了另一种网络接入方法。在该方法中,可以基于UE的签约数据来确定UE是否可以使用当前接入点接入5GC,以及UE的签约类型。如图5所示,该方法可包括:

(2)第二阶段:网络侧获取UE的当前接入点的标识信息和签约数据。具体可包括:
S407,5G RG向W-5G AN设备发送UE的当前接入点的标识信息。UE的当前接入点为UE当前连接到的5G RG。UE的当前接入点的标识信息可用来在核心网侧索引到UE的签约数据。接入点标识可以包括服务集标识(service set identifier,SSID),统一扩展服务集标识(homogeneous extended service set,HESSID)等。关于如何获取UE的当前接入点的标识,本申请不作限制。例如,5G RG发送PPPoE消息,或其他控制面消息,该消息可以携带UE的当前接入点的标识信息。可选的,该消息还可携带UE的IP地址。
可选的,S406中UE向W-5G AN设备发送的请求消息中还可携带UE的当前接入点的标识信息,该当前接入点的标识信息可由UE获取到。如S402所示,在与5G RG建立连接之后,UE可以通过过ANQP查询获取该当前接入点的标识信息。具体的,UE可接收到5G RG发送的ANQP消息或EAP消息,这些消息中含有当前接入点的标识信息。

本申请中,UE的签约数据可用于指示UE为哪些接入点的签约用户。
具体的,UE的签约数据可包括以下信息:
1)签约接入点列表:包含至少一个接入点的标识信息,表示UE为这至少一个接入点的签约用户。如果UE的当前接入点的标识信息属于这至少一个接入点的标识信息,则表明UE为当前接入点的签约用户。应理解的,如果UE为当前接入点的签约用户,则UE被允许接入当前接入点。
2)非签约接入点列表:包含至少一个接入点的标识信息,表示UE为这至少一个接入点的非签约用户。如果UE的当前接入点的标识信息属于这至少一个接入点的标识信息,则表明UE为当前接入点的非签约用户。
本申请中,如果UE的当前接入点的标识信息不属于上述任一列表,则表明UE不被允许连接到当前接入点。接入点列表(签约接入点列表或非签约接入点列表)包含UE可以接入的接入点的标识。当UE只被允许在少数几个接入点接入时,可以采用白名单方式缩短列表长度,节省参数存储空间。这里,白名单仅记录有UE能够接入的接入点的标识信息。
S412,UDM2可以基于UE的签约数据中的鉴权向量完成UE的鉴权认证流程。关于鉴权认证流程,可具体参考3gpp标准中的相关协议,这里不再赘述。
S413,UDM2可以向AMF2发送响应消息。该响应消息含可包括UE的签约类型的指示信息。相应的,AMF2可以接收到UDM2发送的该响应消息,并根据UE的签约类型确定该UE的业务管理策略(如QoS控制)。这样可实现网络侧区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制。
可选的,在UE为签约用户的条件下,UDM2还可以确定该UE被允许接入5G RG。
具体的,该响应消息还可包括接入指示信息,该接入指示信息指示UE是否被允许接入当前接入点。当不允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为拒绝接入指示;当允许UE接入时,该接入指示信息为允许接入指示。可选的,对于允许接入的UE,UDM2可以将该UE的签约类型存储在该UE的上下文中。
在一些可选的实施例中,UDM2还可以将上述签约接入点列表和/或上述非签约接入点列表发送给AMF2,由AMF2来确定UE的签约类型,以及UE是否被允许接入当前接入点。具体的,AMF2确定UE的签约类型以及UE是否被允许接入当前接入点的实现方式和UDM2采用的方式可以相同,这里不再赘述。
S414-S415,AMF2基于现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程完成UE的接入过程,如允许接入流程或拒绝接入流程。关于该现有注册流程或移动注册更新流程或周期性注册更新流程,可具体参考3gpp标准中的相关协议,这里不再赘述。
可选的,AMF2可以向W-5G AN设备或者5G RG发送UE的签约类型的指示信息和/或UE的业务管理策略(如QoS控制)。可选的,AMF2还可以向W-5G AN设备或者5G RG发送接入指示,该接入指示用于指示UE是否被允许接入当前接入点。

S417,在UE的签约数据发生更新的条件下,UDM2可以根据AMF2的标识信息向AMF2发送接入更新消息。
具体的,该接入更新消息实现如下:
1)如果更新后的签约接入点列表和/或非签约接入点列表表明UE的签约发生改变,则该接入更新消息可包括UE的更新后的签约类型的指示信息,用以通知AMF2调整UE的接入模型,以及UE的业务管理策略。
2)如果当前接入点的标识信息不属于更新后的签约接入点列表和非签约接入点列表中任一项,则该接入更新消息可包括拒绝接入指示。
S418,AMF2向UE发送通知消息。该通知消息可用于将UE的变化后的签约类型通知给UE。在UE不能再使用当前接入点接入核心网的条件下,该通知消息可携带重选指示,该重选指示用于通知UE重新选择接入点进行接入。
S419,可选的,如果接收到AMF2发送的重选指示,则UE可释放与当前接入点的连接,并选择其他接入点接入5GC。
通过图5所示的实施例四,核心网可以基于UE的签约数据区分UE的不同接入模型以便于后续进行不同的业务控制,例如不同的QoS控制。尤其当网络资源受限时,网络侧可优先保证签约用户的接入,限制非签约用户接入。这样可实现5GC对更多接入方式的支持,提升了固网和移动网络的融合度。
在前述基于5G RG的签约数据来确定家庭网关是否允许UE接入的方案中,网络侧还可以通过下述方式获取5G RG的标识信息:UE向核心网发送NAS消息,该NAS消息中包含5G-RG标识信息。该5G-RG的标识信息可以是5G-RG发送给UE的,也可以是5G-RG经由W-5G AN设备发送给UE的。上述5G RG的标识信息(即5G RG ID)包括如5G RG 5G-GUTI,或5G RG SUCI(Subscription Concealed Identifier签约的加密的标识),或5G-RG N2接口标识等。
如图11所示,网络侧获取5G RG的标识信息的具体流程可包括:
S501,UE与5G-RG建立层2(layer 2,L2)连接。
S502,5G-RG向UE发送EAP请求或者Identity请求。可选的EAP请求或者Identity请求可以包含5G RG的标识信息,如5G-RG ID。
S503,在接收到5G-RG发送的EAP请求消息或者Identity请求消息后,UE回复EAP响应消息/Identity消息给5G-RG。
S504,5G-RG向W-5G AN发送鉴权、授权和记账(Authentication、Authorization、Accounting,AAA)消息,如鉴权请求消息。该AAA消息可以携带EAP消息给W-5GAN。可选的,AAA消息还可以携带5G-RG ID。
S505,W-5G AN发送EAP请求/5G-Start消息。该EAP请求/5G-Start消息可以包含5G-RG ID。该5G-RG ID可以是在S504中接收到的,如5G RG 5G-GUTI,或5G RG SUCI(Subscription Concealed Identifier签约的加密的标识)。该5G-RG ID也可以是其他5G-RG标识,如5G-RG N2接口标识。
S506-S507,5G-RG转发EAP请求/5G-Start消息给UE。可选的,如S506所示,5G-RG可以解析EAP请求/5G-Start消息,如果EAP请求/5G-Start消息中没有5G-RG ID,则5G-RG可以在EAP请求/5G-Start消息中添加5G-RG ID。
S508,UE收到EAP-Req/5G-Sart消息,从消息中获取5G-RG ID,并发送NAS消息,NAS消息中携带有5G-RG ID。上述5G-RG ID用于AMF查找5G RG上下文信息,从而获取5G RG永久标识(即5G RG SUPI)。
可选的,NAS消息还可以携带Host UE指示。该Host UE指示该UE请求以host UE身份(即签约用户身份)接入核心网。这样,核心网可以基于Host UE指示触发UE接入模型的确定流程,具体可参考前述实施例一至三。可选的,5G-RG ID可以作为Host UE指示,即5G-RG ID指示该UE请求以host UE身份接入核心网。AMF基于Host UE指示或基于上述NAS消息中含有5G-RG ID信息判断UE请求以host UE身份接入核心网。网络侧基于前文实施例方案判断UE是否为host UE。如果UE请求以host身份接入,但上述UE不是Host UE,则AMF拒绝UE的接入请求。此外,5G-RG ID也可以用来表示UE通过5G RG接入核心网。AMF基于上述NAS消息中含有5G-RG ID信息判断UE通过5G RG接入核心网。当UE通过5G RG接入核心网时,AMF判断UE的设备类型,即判断UE为签约的用户设备或非签约的用户设备。
AMF基于5G RG ID查找5G RG上下文。如果AMF上没有存储上述5G RG的上下文信息,则AMF基于5G RG ID选择存储5G RG上下文的另一AMF(目标AMF)。具体的,AMF发送请求消息给目标AMF,上述请求消息中含有5G RG ID与永久标识请求指示(如SUPI requested)。目标AMF基于5G RG ID查找5G RG上下文,并回复5G RG永久标识给AMF。
在前述实施例一至三中,AMF所执行的流程也可以让SMF来执行,即前述实施例一至三中的AMF可以替换成SMF。或者,AMF也可以将Host UE指示通知给SMF,具体的:AMF2可以将Host UE或Guest UE指示发送给PCF或者SMF,PCF基于Host UE或Guest UE指示下发QoS策略。如果AMF2将Host UE或Guest UE指示发送给SMF,则由SMF将Host UE或Guest UE指示上报PCF,PCF基于Host/Guest UE指示下发不同的QoS策略。例如,对于Host UE,PCF在QoS策略中分配高优先级参数,如QoS参数设置为资源不允许被抢占,或可以抢占其他用户资源等。对于Guest UE,PCF在QoS策略中分配低优先级参 数,如QoS参数设置为资源允许被抢占,或不可以抢占其他用户资源等。
此外,当5G RG ID为SUCI时,AMF2可以基于SUCI查找存储5G RG签约数据的UDM。并发送请求消息给UDM。上述消息中含有5G RG SUCI与UE标识。UDM基于5G RG SUCI查找5G RG签约数据,并基于上述签约数据判断UE的设备类型,同前文实施例。UDM发送回复消息给AMF2,上述回复消息中除含有前文实施例中描述的参数之外,还含有5G RG附着的AMF1标识,即为5G RG服务的AMF1标识。AMF2存储5G RG ID与AMF1标识。
在网络侧执行UE接入模型的确定流程之前,终端设备(UE或者5G RG)还需要注册到网络,并获取PDU会话相关的接入网侧参数。下面以5G RG为例,描述相关技术方案(UE涉及同样的流程,不赘述)。如图12所示,具体包括:
S601,5G-RG注册到AMF1。AMF1为5G-RG提供服务。
S602,W-5G AN在获知5G-RG鉴权成功(如W-5GAN从N2接口获取鉴权成功指示,该指示可以为安全秘钥Key)后,W-5GAN可以分配对应5G-RG的NAS IP地址信息。W-5GAN还可以分配对应5G RG的用户面地址,如用户面IP地址(user plane IP address)。然后,W-5G AN可以向5G-RG对发送消息(如EAP消息),该消息中可以携带对应5G-RG的NAS IP地址信息。可选的,该消息还可以包括对应5G RG的用户面地址信息。
其中,对应5G-RG的NAS IP地址信息用于承载后续的5G-RG发送的NAS消息。对应5G-RG的用户面地址信息用于承载后续5G-RG发送的用户面数据包。在5G-RG封装用户面数据包时,增加IP头,并将上述新增IP头中的目的地址设置为5G-RG对应的用户面IP地址。
可选的,W-5GAN可以为5G RG分配UE IP地址。该消息(如EAP消息)还可以携带为5G RG分配UE IP地址。
S603,5G-RG向W-5G AN发送请求消息,该请求消息可以为DHCP discover消息或DHCP request消息等,用于请求W-5G AN为5G-RG分配UE IP地址。该请求消息可以携带UE标识信息,如UE的网络接入标识(Network Access Identity,NAI),或UE MAC地址,或UE IP地址(可以从S602中获取)。
可选的,该请求消息可以携带5G-RG对应的NAS IP地址和/或5G-RG对应的用户面IP地址。可选的,该请求消息还可以携带NAS指示或用户面指示中的至少一个,NAS指示用于指示该消息中携带的地址是NAS IP地址,用户面指用于指示该消息中携带的地址是用户面IP地址。
S604,W-5GAN基于5G RG的标识信息为5G RG分配UE IP地址。
具体的,W-5GAN可以从S603中发送的DHCP消息头中获取5G RG的标识信息,并基于5G RG的标识信息查找UE上下文,UE上下文中包含5G RG鉴权成功的指示信息。W-5GAN为鉴权成功的5G RG分配UE IP地址。如果在S602中已经为5G RG分配了UE IP地址,则W-5GAN可以在当前步骤中分配相同的或不同的UE IP地址。
S605,W-5GAN向5G RG发送响应消息(EAP消息或DHCP ACK消息),该响应消息携带有W-5GAN为5G RG分配的UE IP地址。
S606,5G-RG发起NAS消息,如PDU会话建立请求消息。将W-5GAN为5G RG分配的UE IP地址作为封装该NAS消息的源地址,将W-5GAN分配的对应5G RG的NAS IP地址作为封装该NAS消息的目的地址。
这样,W-5GAN便可以根据IP头中的NAS IP地址识别IP数据包携带的为NAS消息,并将该NAS消息通过N2接口转发给AMF。然后,AMF可以处理该NAS消息,基于现有流程完成5G-RG的PDU会话建立流程。在该流程中,AMF通过N2接口向W-5GAN发送PDU会话的标识信息(如PDU会话ID),这样W-5GAN便可获取到PDU会话的PDU会话ID。
S607,在5G-RG接收到PDU会话建立接受消息(PDU session establishment Accept)后,5G-RG向W-5GAN发起请求消息,该请求消息可以为DHCP请求消息(DHCP request)或DHCP信息消息(DHCP information)。该请求消息中可以携带PDU会话的标识信息(如PDU会话ID)。该请求消息用于请求W-5GAN分配PDU会话对应的W-5GAN IP地址。
S608,在收到5G-RG发送的请求消息之后,W-5GAN可以基于该请求消息中的PDU会话ID分配PDU会话对应的W-5GAN IP地址,并存储该W-5GAN IP地址与该PDU会话ID对应关系。该PDU会话对应的W-5GAN IP地址即W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息。
可选的,PDU会话对应的W-5GAN IP地址可以作为PDU会话的标识信息,可以用于用户面建立W-5GAN为该PDU会话分配的会话资源与该PDU会话的对应关系。
S609,W-5GAN向5G-RG发送响应消息(如DHCP ACK消息),该响应消息中可以携带W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息。可选的,该响应消息中还可以携带该W-5GAN IP地址对应的PDU会话ID。
其中,W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息用作5G-RG发送该PDU会话的用户面数据包的目标IP地址。
S610,5G RG发送用户面数据包。具体实现在后续内容中详细介绍。
综合上述步骤可以看出,终端设备(5G RG或者UE)发送用户面数据包所需要的目的地址可以包括两种实现形式:1.对应终端设备的用户面地址信息(通过S602获得);2.W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息(通过S607-S608获得)。其中,W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息是一种更细粒度的地址,能够直接指示出用户面数据包是发向哪一个PDU会话的。
下面介绍基于目的地址的这两种实现形式,分别描述5G-RG发送用户面数据包的方式。
1)方式一:用户面数据包外封装有通用路由封装(Generic Routing Encapsulation,GRE)头,GRE头外封装有IP头。GRE头中可以携带QoS流的标识信息(QoS flow ID,QFI)/反射QoS指示(reflective QoS indication,RQI)。其中,IP头中的源地址为UE IP地址,IP头中的目的地址为W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息。
在W-5GAN接收到5G RG发送的PDU会话的用户面数据包之后,W-5GAN可以基于该W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息识别出PDU会话,并在去掉GRE头与IP头后,利用识别出的PDU会话对应的隧道发送该PDU会话的用户面数据包。
此方式一中所提及的W-5GAN对应PDU会话的地址信息是通过S607-S608获得的。
2)方式二:用户面数据包外封装有GRE头,GRE头外封装有IP头。GRE头中可以 携带QoS流的标识信息(QoS flow ID,QFI)/(reflective QoS indication,RQI)。其中,GRE头中携带PDU会话ID。IP头中的源地址为UE IP地址,IP头中的目的地址为用户面地址信息。
在W-5GAN接收到5G RG发送的用户面数据包之后,W-5GAN可以基于该PDU会话ID识别出PDU会话,并在去掉GRE头与IP头后,利用PDU会话ID对应的隧道发送该PDU会话的用户面数据包。
此方式二中所提及的用户面地址信息是通过S602获得的。
在网络侧执行UE接入模型的确定流程之后,核心网还需要下发针对UE的业务管理策略,如QoS策略或本地资源控制策略等,将细化了网络侧如何基于Host UE/Guest UE实现不同的QoS控制与本地业务控制等。下面结合图13,描述相关技术方案。
S701,在通过图12所示实施例将5G RG注册到AMF2,并且AMF2基于前述实施例一至三确定出UE的接入模型之后,AMF2可以向PCF发送第一消息,例如策略关联建立/修改消息(policy association setup\modify)。第一消息可以包括UE的设备分类的指示信息。不限于Host UE/Guest UE指示信息,该设备分类的指示信息还可以包括设备类型的指示信息,本申请不限制设备分类所基于的方式。第一消息可用于请求PCF下发针对UE的业务管理策略,业务管理策略可包括QoS策略、本地资源控制策略中的至少一个。
可选的,AMF2还可以将UE的设备分类的指示信息发送给SMF,由SMF来向PCF发送携带该设备分类的指示信息的第一消息。
S702,PCF向AMF2或SMF发送第二消息,第二消息可包括PCF基于UE的设备分类确定的针对UE的业务管理策略。也即是说,在接收到AMF或者SMF发送的第一消息后,PCF可以向SMF或AMF发送第二消息。
S703-S707,AMF2完成UE的注册路程。对于鉴权成功的UE,W-5GAN分配NAS IP地址,及可选的用户面IP地址。具体可参考图12实施例中的S602。
S708,AMF2将UE的设备分类的指示信息(如Host UE/Guest UE指示信息)与UE的标识信息发送给AMF1。其中,UE的标识信息可以为UE MAC地址,或UE 5G GUTI,或UE SUPI,或其他标识信息中的至少一个。
可选的,AMF2可以将UE的标识信息发送给AMF1。AMF1可以判断出UE的分类,如UE为Host UE或Guest UE。
S709,基于S701-S702从PCF获取到的业务控制策略,AMF1可以基于UE的设备分类的指示信息(如Host UE/Guest UE指示信息)向5G-RG下发针对UE的业务管理策略,如QoS策略或本地资源控制策略等。具体的,AMF1可以通过发送UE配置更新消息(UE configuration update)或NAS通知消息等下发针对UE的业务管理策略。UE配置更新消息或NAS通知消息中可以携带UE的标识信息,及UE的设备分类的指示信息。
可选的,本地资源控制策略可包括本地设备列表,如本地设备MAC地址列表,或本地设备IP地址列表等。本地设备可以只允许Host UE接入。本地设备可以是本地打印机等设备。
相应的,在接收到AMF1发送的UE配置更新消息或NAS通知消息后,5G-RG可以对应存储UE的标识信息与UE的设备分类的指示信息(如Host UE/Guest UE指示信息)。可选的,5G-RG还可以对应存储UE的标识信息与网络侧下发的业务策略。
在一些可选实施例中,5G-RG可以依据本地资源控制策略控制UE接入,具体流程可包括:5G-RG可接收AMF发送的UE的标识信息和UE的设备分类的指示信息,然后获取本地资源接入策略,最后根据UE的设备分类的指示信息和本地资源接入策略控制UE接入本地资源。
可选的,5G-RG可以接收AMF或者SMF发送的5G RG的本地资源接入策略。
可选的,如果AMF没有发送针对UE的本地资源控制策略,则5G-RG可以配置本地资源控制策略。该本地资源控制策略可包括本地设备MAC地址列表,或本地设备IP地址列表等,其中,本地设备可以只允许Host UE接入。本地设备可以是本地打印机等设备。
后续,UE发起本地业务,即UE发起请求到5G-RG,请求中携带有的标识信息。5G-RG可以基于的标识信息识别出UE,并基于存储的UE的标识信息与UE的设备分类的指示信息(如Host UE/Guest UE指示信息)判断出UE的分类(如UE是否为Host UE)。可选的,如果UE是host UE,则可以建立UE与本地设备之间的连接。可选的,5G-RG也可以回复本地设备MAC地址,或IP地址给UE。
S710,UE发起到核心网的PDU会话,分配相应的PDU会话ID。在PDU会话建立成功后,UE可发送请求消息给W-5GAN,以请求获取W-5GAN分配的PDU会话对应的W-5GAN IP地址,具体可参考图12实施例中S607-S609,这里不再赘述。
参考图6,图6示出了本申请的一些实施例提供的终端200。如图6所示,终端200可包括:输入输出模块(包括音频输入输出模块218、按键输入模块216以及显示器220等)、用户接口202、一个或多个终端处理器204、发射器208、接收器210、耦合器212、天线214以及存储器206。这些部件可通过总线或者其他方式连接,图6以通过总线连接为例。其中:
