Description

一种窄带物联网中eUICC数据传输方法和装置
本申请要求于2018年6月8日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201810589619.9、发明名称为“一种窄带物联网中eUICC数据传输方法和装置”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,并且更具体地,涉及一种窄带物联网中eUICC数据传输方法和装置。
背景技术
全球移动通信联盟系统(global system for mobile communications alliance,GSMA)制定的嵌入式通用集成电路卡(embedded universal integrated circuit card,eUICC)标准允许远程配置eUICC上的用户数据,如eUICC远程从应用服务器下载用户在某一运营商网络签约的用户数据,并进而使配置该eUICC的用户设备接入该运营商的通信网络。随着窄带物联网(narrowband internet of things,NB-IoT)技术的发展,窄带物联网中的终端设备也急需应用eUICC技术标准,使得窄带物联网终端无需更换SIM卡就可以接入不同运营商的网络。
然而,NB-IoT网络的带宽和传输速率较低,以实现广覆盖和低功耗。现有的传输协议多不适合在NB-IoT网络中进行数据传输,如超文本传送安全协议(hyper text transfer protocol secure,HTTPS)消息头较大,对带宽要求较高,所以在NB-IoT网络下不适合通过HTTPS建立应用服务器与eUICC之间的会话。其次,由于HTTPS三次握手协议中有定时器保护,而NB-IoT网络的速率较低,导致定时器超时,所以在NB-IoT网络下不适合通过HTTPS建立应用服务器与eUICC之间的会话。
因此,如何在NB-IoT网络下建立应用服务器与M2M通信装置上的eUICC之间的会话,从而完成数据传输成为当前亟需解决的问题。

本申请实施例对终端设备的类型不做具体限定,例如可以是用户设备、接入终端、终端设备、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、无线网络设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端可以包括但不限于移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动电话(mobile telephone)、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、手机(handset)、便携设备(portable equipment)、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、物流用的射频识别(radio frequency identification,RFID)终端设备,具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、物联网、车辆网中的终端设备以及未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
作为示例而非限定,在本发明实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。

图1是一种实现eUICC远程配置和管理的体系架构的示意性框图。
图1所示的实现eUICC远程配置和管理的体系架构可以包括签约管理(subscription management,SM)平台110、eUICC 120。在GSMA的制定的eUICC标准中,SM平台110可以建立与eUICC 120之间的会话。SM平台110可以基于空中接口(over the air,OTA)切换eUICC 120上加载的简介profile,从而可以实现eUICC 120从当前的移动网络运营商(mobile network operators,MNO)切换至目标MNO。
应理解,profile为通信领域的一个专用术语,可以理解为用户签约数据集,或用于在某个运营商网络签约的个人签约业务数据的集合,是一个移动用户信息的数据集合,可以包括用户识别信息(例如用户身份、认证参数等信息)和业务签约信息。
profile中包含的数据例如可以包括但不限于:profile类型,例如,用户身份识别(subscriber identification module,SIM)联盟简介包(SIM profile alliance package);国际移动用户识别(international mobile subscriber identification,IMSI)码;集成电路卡识别(integrate circuit card identity,ICCID)码;安全数字(secure digital,SD)存储卡的可执行文件加载辅助(aide,AID)程序(executable load file AID for SD);SD存储卡的可执行模块辅助(executable module AID for SD)等。
具体地,SM平台110可以在收到目标MNO或用户发送的profile下载请求之后,可以通过短信将生成的profile下发至eUICC 120,SM平台110对eUICC 120中的profile进行管理。例如,SM平台110可以通知eUICC 120下载或激活profile,从而实现eUICC 120从当前的MNO切换至目标MNO。
应理解,SM平台110可以是一种应用服务器。
下面分别对SM平台110、eUICC 120进行介绍。
SM平台110是eUICC远程管理的核心,SM平台110可以根据MNO或用户发起的请求对profile进行下载、安装、激活、去激活、删除等管理操作。SM平台110的功能主要包括两部分:签约管理数据准备(subscription management data preparation,SM-DP)、签约管理安全路由(subscription management secure routing,SM-SR)。其中,SM-DP主要负责根据目标MNO提供的数据生成和存储profile。SM-SR主要负责建立到eUICC 120的通道,并可以将SM-DP生成的profile路由下载到eUICC 120上。
eUICC 120可以是嵌入式UICC卡,可以与终端设备中的如调制解调器modem(可以是电路或基带芯片)连接。eUICC 120可以通过modem与终端设备外的其它装置或设备通信。eUICC 120可以给用户提供基于空中接口(over the air,OTA)实现MNO变更的能力,而不需要更换eUICC物理实体本身。eUICC 120可以提供与普通智能卡类似的移动网络接入鉴权和用户身份认证的安全服务,并可以用于远程管理多个移动网络运营个人管理服务。
下面对profile的几种管理操作进行描述。
profile下载:SM平台可以根据MNO或用户请求,可以将生成的profile通过建立的传输通道传送到eUICC中。
profile安装:eUICC可以将下载的profile安装为可执行的应用和文件系统,profile安装可以和profile下载同时进行,成功安装的profile可以进入去激活状态。
profile激活:根据MNO或用户请求,SM平台可以将eUICC上当前处于去激活状态profile激活,使得profile中的文件和应用可以通过终端设备和eUICC之间的接口进行选择。
profile去激活:根据MNO或用户请求,SM平台可以将eUICC上当前处于激活状态的profile去激活,使得profile中的文件和应用不可以通过终端设备和eUICC之间的接口进行选择。
轻量机器到机器(light weight machine to machine,LwM2M)是开放移动联盟(open mobile alliance,OMA)定义的物联网协议。
LwM2M的协议栈结构可以参见图2。其中,LwM2M协议210属于应用层协议,位于约束应用协议(constrained Application protocol,CoAP)220之上。CoAP 220可以进行数据包传输层安全性协议(datagram transport layer security,DTLS)230加密的处理,最后可以通过用户数据包协议(user packet protocol,UDP)240或短消息业务(short message service,SMS)250或SMS255的方式传送。该LwM2M协议可以将消息打包到对象(objects,Obj)260中,并可以通过上述协议进行传输。后面会具体描述Objects,此处不再赘述。
应理解,SMS250可以是位于设备(on device)上的短消息业务,SMS255可以是位于智能卡(on smartcard)上的短消息业务。
LwM2M协议的消息头较HTTPS的消息头较小,且LwM2M协议不需要通过多次握手就可以建立物联网IoT平台(作为服务器sever)和终端设备上的M2M通信装置(作为客户端client)之间的会话。因此在NB-IoT网络中,可以通过LwM2M协议建立应用服务器(例如,SM平台)与终端设备上的eUICC之间的会话,从而实现数据传输。
下面以图3为示例,详细描述通过LwM2M协议建立应用服务器(例如,SM平台)与终端设备上的eUICC之间的会话。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种基于LwM2M协议建立SM平台与eUICC之间的会话的示意性框图。
图3可以包括SM平台310、IoT平台320、终端设备330、M2M通信装置340、eUICC 350。
SM平台310可以对应到图1中的SM平台110,可以将MNO发送的profile下载请求通过IoT平台发送至终端设备330。SM平台310可以将MNO发送的profile下载请求转换成LwM2M消息(例如,可以将profile下载请求打包到LwM2M Objects)后发送至IoT平台320,也可以将MNO发送的profile下载请求转换成其它类型的消息发送至IoT平台320。
IoT平台320可以作为LwM2M协议中的设备管理平台,IoT平台320可以将SM平台310发送的消息通过LwM2M协议发送至终端设备330,当SM平台310和IoT平台320间不是通过LwM2M协议进行消息传输时,IoT平台320需要将SM平台310发送的消息转换为LwM2M消息后发送至终端设备330,IoT平台320收到的终端设备330的LwM2M消息,也要先进行协议转换后,才能转发给SM平台310。
终端设备330中配置了M2M通信装置340和eUICC350,终端设备330接收到的LwM2M 消息可以由终端设备330上的M2M通信装置340处理。终端设备330的示意性结构图可以如图4所示。
M2M通信装置340可以是芯片,也可以是集成电路或其他装置,M2M通信装置340可以将接收到的LwM2M消息转发至eUICC350。M2M通信装置340的示意性结构图可以如图5所示。
eUICC 350可以对应到图1中的eUICC 120。eUICC350和M2M通信装置340可以进行通信和信息交换。物理形态上,eUICC 350可以是独立于M2M通信装置340的装置,eUICC350也可以是与M2M通信装置340中绑定在一起的装置(例如,通过焊接的方式或其他方式将eUICC350嵌入在M2M通信装置340中)。eUICC350通过M2M通信装置340上的收发器将接收到的LwM2M消息转发至eUICC350上的应用。
图4是一种可能的终端设备的示意性框图。图4中的终端设备330可以包括应用处理器(application processor,AP)410、调制解调器(modem)420、无线收发器430、eUICC480,可选的,还包括用户接口440、存储器450、相机460、语音输入输出接口470。
AP 410可以是在低功耗的中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)的基础上扩展时频功能和专用接口的超大规模集成电路,AP 410上运行了操作系统和应用软件。
modem 420可以对应于图3中的M2M通信装置340。modem 420可以被称为基带芯片,主要的作用是发送和接受各种数据,如实现第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)等无线通信标准中的主要功能。modem 420相当于一个通信协议处理器,可以负责数据处理。
modem 420可以作为单独的芯片,也可以与其他芯片或电路在一起形成系统级芯片或集成电路。该芯片或集成电路可以应用于所有实现无线通信功能的终端设备。
终端设备330可以通过无线收发器430进行数据的接收和发送。
存储器450可以用于存储计算机程序指令、预设的参数、计算机中间运算得到的数据等中间的一个或多个。
下面以M2M通信装置340为modem 420,对modem 420的内部逻辑结构进行描述。
图5是本申请实施例提供的一种调制解调器modem的示意性框图。图5所示的调制解调器(modem)420可以包括接收数据处理器510、控制器520、发送数据处理器530。
数据接收器510可以通过物理层(physical layer,PHY)协议接收IoT平台发送的数据,并可以经过信道解码、解调、均衡、信道估计等功能对接收到的数据进行解调。
处理器520可以通过协议层对数据进行处理,处理器520可以通过介质访问控制(media access control,MAC)层协议、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层协议、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层协议对数据进行处理。
数据发送器530可以经过信道编码、调制、符号生成等处理之后的数据进行调制,并可以通过PHY层协议向与modem 420相连的UICC发送数据。
图5所示的modem 420中还可以内置存储,称为片内存储器,例如,终端设备至计算机多路转接器(terminal device to computer multiplexer,TCM)、静态随机存取存储器(static random access memory,SRAM)等。
modem 420还可以与片外存储器进行通信,片外存储器可以包括但不限于:只读存储器(read-only memory,ROM)、随机存取存储器(random access memory,RAM)、U盘、移动硬盘、光盘、磁性存储装置等。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法可以在NB-IoT网络下建立应用服务器(如SM平台)与M2M通信装置上的eUICC之间的会话,从而完成数据传输。
下面对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行描述。
图6是本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的示意性流程图。图6的方法可以包括步骤610-630,下面分别对步骤610-630进行描述。
在步骤610中,M2M通信装置接收IoT平台发送的LwM2M消息。
本申请实施例对IoT平台发送的LwM2M消息不做具体限定。作为一个示例,该LwM2M消息可以包括SM平台下发给eUICC用户在目标运营商签约的profile或所述profile的激活信息。作为另一个示例,eUICC上运行的个人支付应用和应用服务器间还可以通过IoT平台和M2M通信装置间的LwM2M消息传输个人支付和消费信息。
本申请实施例中的M2M通信装置是终端设备中的一个通信模块,该M2M通信装置可以是一个芯片,也可以是集成电路或其他装置。该M2M通信装置可应用于所有实现无线通信功能的设备。作为一个示例,该M2M通信装置可以是调制解调器modem,具体有关modem的描述请参见图5的描述,此处不再赘述。
LwM2M消息可以包括一个应用指示(例如,App ID),M2M通信装置可以根据应用指示将LwM2M消息转发至eUICC上的应用。
具体地,IoT平台可以将LwM2M消息转发至机器到机器M2M通信装置,LwM2M消息中的应用指示(例如,App ID)可以用于指示本次通信为SM平台与eUICC上的应用之间的通信。所谓eUICC上的应用,指在eUICC上运行的应用实例或应用进程或应用程序。
以LwM2M消息为profile或所述profile的激活信息为例,M2M通信装置在向IoT平台发送上行消息的过程中,该应用指示可以用于指示将返回的对目标运营商的profile或所述profile的激活信息的响应结果发送至SM平台。M2M通信装置在接收IoT平台发送的下行消息的过程,该应用指示可以用于指示M2M通信装置将目标运营商的profile或所述profile的激活信息转发至所述eUICC上的应用。
在步骤620中,M2M通信装置将LwM2M消息发送至与之关联的eUICC。
应理解,eUICC可以M2M通信装置相连,eUICC可以通过M2M通信装置与终端设备外的其它装置或设备通信。
本申请实施例中M2M通信装置将LwM2M消息发送至eUICC的实现方式不做具体限定。作为一个示例,可以根据LwM2M消息中的应用指示,将所述SM下发的LwM2M消息发送至所述eUICC。作为一个示例,还可以根据LwM2M消息中的第一指示,将所述SM下发的LwM2M消息发送至所述eUICC。下面会结合图7至图8进行详细描述,此处不再赘述。
在步骤630中,eUICC根据应用指示将LwM2M消息中的目标数据发送至eUICC上的应用。
本申请实施例中,应用服务器可以通过LwM2M协议建立应用服务器与M2M通信装置上的eUICC之间的会话,从而完成数据传输。
可选地,在一些实施例中,LwM2M消息可以包括签约管理SM平台下发给eUICC的目标 运营商的profile或所述profile的激活信息。
下面以LwM2M消息包括profile或所述profile的激活信息为例进行说明。
IoT平台可以将SM平台发送的请求消息转换至LwM2M协议下的LwM2M消息。例如,本申请可以将SM平台发送的请求消息打包到LwM2M应用数据对象(App Data Container Obj)中,可以实现将SM平台发送的请求消息转换至LwM2M协议下的LwM2M消息。
应理解,在LwM2M协议中,对于每一个LwM2M实体(例如,每一个支持LwM2M协议的设备),可访问服务被抽象为一个一个的对象,每一个对象局可以有三种层次。作为一个示例,一个对象可以包括若干个提供不同功能的对象(Object),例如,若干个不同的传感器。作为另一个示例,上述每一种功能可能由多个对象实例(Object-Instance)提供,例如,对个温度传感器,都提供温度读取功能。作为另一个示例,上述对象实例实际可以完成的功能可以称为资源(Resource)。
在LwM2M协议中,统一资源标识符(universal resource identifier,URI)的格式可以如下所示:</Object ID/Object-Instance ID/Resource ID>。例如,常用的URI格式可以有</1/0>、</1/1>、</2/0>、</2/1>、</2/2>、</2/3>、</2/4>、</3/0>、</4/0>、</5/0>、</19/0>、</19/1>。
需要注意的是,URI分别标识了访问资源的Object ID、Object-Instance ID、Resource ID,其中,后两个ID可以是可选地。
本申请实施例中签约管理SM平台可以将目标运营商的简介profile的下载或激活请求信息发送至IoT平台。发送的下载或激活请求信息中可以包括目标eUICC的信息,以便于目标eUICC可以将目标运营商的简介profile下载、安装或激活,可以使得目标eUICC从当前运营商的profile切换至目标运营商的profile。
可选地,在一些实施例中,第一LwM2M消息还包括第一标识,所述第一标识用于指示所述M2M通信装置将所述目标运营商的profile的下载或激活信息转发至所述eUICC。
本申请实施例中,可以在IoT平台向M2M通信装置发送第一LwM2M消息之前,IoT平台可以接收第一LwM2M注册请求。IoT平台还可以接收第二LwM2M注册请求,该第二LwM2M注册请求可以用于M2M通信装置请求向IoT平台进行LwM2M注册。
下面以eUICC请求向IoT平台LwM2M注册为例进行详细说明。
本申请实施例中eUICC可以请求直接向IoT平台LwM2M注册,此时,由于eUICC与M2M通信装置关联,该M2M通信装置可以将eUICC向IoT平台请求注册的第一LwM2M注册信息转发至IoT平台,该M2M通信装置可以称为支持LwM2M网关(getway,GW)路由(route)模式。
可选地,在一些实施例中,可以通过预先配置,M2M通信装置可以支持LwM2M GW route模式,eUICC支持LwM2M协议,IoT平台支持LwM2M协议。
具体地,如果M2M通信装置可以支持LwM2M GW route模式,可以对M2M通信装置、IoT平台、eUICC进行预先配置。
作为一个示例,可以通过软件代码实现对M2M通信装置的预先配置,该M2M通信装置可以支持LwM2M gateway route的功能,该M2M通信装置能够解析eUICC卡的LwM2M消息,实现支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。
作为另一个示例,可以通过软件代码实现对IoT平台的预先配置,该IoT平台支持在LwM2M协议下进行数据传输。例如,可以预先配置eUICC App可以作为LwM2M服务器(server)上的某个APP,IoT平台可以将该LwM2M消息转发至LwM2M client上的某个App,实现支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。又如,可以预先配置该IoT平台支持解析新的应用标识(例如,第一标识(例如?sd=)),实现支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。
应理解,该IoT平台可以持解析新的应用标识,当该IoT平台受到具有相同的互联网协议(internet protocal,IP)和端口(port)的两个客户端(client)模块,该IoT平台可以根据解析出的第一标识(例如?sd=)确定其中一个client可以是eUICC。
作为另一个示例,可以通过软件代码实现对eUICC的预先配置。eUICC支持在LwM2M协议下进行数据传输。例如,可以预先配置的eUICC可以作为LwM2M client,可以完成数据传输功能。又如,可以预先配置eUICC会话描述协议(session description protocol,SDP)文件,设置LwM2M业务,让eUICC与终端设备之间可以支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。又如,可以配置嵌入式用户身份模块(embeddedsubscriber identity module,eSIM)App作为LwM2M client上的某个App,eUICC可以在收到LwM2M消息后,可以将该LwM2M消息转发至LwM2M client上的某个App,实现支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。又如,可以建立eUICC到M2M通信装置的通道(服务描述service declaration),实现支持通过LwM2M协议进行数据传输。
应理解,可以设置该eUICC作为client所支持的资源以及服务(service ID),该service ID为LwM2M。
在一些实施例中,如果M2M通信装置可以称为支持GW route模式,该M2M通信装置可以将eUICC向IoT平台请求注册的第一LwM2M注册信息转发至eUICC,该第一LwM2M注册信息可以包括所述第一标识(例如?sd=)。IoT平台接收到所述第一LwM2M注册信息,可以根据该第一标识(例如?sd=)确定M2M通信装置发送的注册信息可以包括eUICC向IoT平台请求注册的第一LwM2M注册信息。下面结合图5对这种实现方式进行详细描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例对M2M通信装置可以将第一LwM2M注册信息转发至eUICC的具体实现方式不做具体限定。作为一个示例,M2M通信装置可以仅将该第一LwM2M注册信息转发至eUICC,IoT平台接收到所述第一LwM2M注册信息中的第一标识(例如?sd=eUICC)确定该注册请求是eUICC向IoT平台请求注册。作为另一个示例,M2M通信装置可以将第一LwM2M注册信息和M2M通信装置向IoT平台请求注册的注册消息都打包发送至IoT平台,IoT平台可以根据打包消息中的第一标识(例如?sd=eUICC)确定M2M通信装置发送的注册信息eUICC向IoT平台请求注册的第一LwM2M注册信息。下面结合图8对这种实现方式进行详细描述。
下面结合具体的例子,更加详细地描述本申请实施例中,M2M通信装置可以支持LwM2M GW route模式时,可以通过LwM2M协议完成profile的下载和激活的具体实现方式。应注意,下文的例子仅仅是为了帮助本领域技术人员理解本申请实施例,而非要将申请实施例限制于所示例的具体数值或具体场景。本领域技术人员根据文所给出的例子,显然可以进行各种等价的修改或变化,这样的修改和变化也落入本申请实施例的范围内。
图7是本申请实施例提供的一种可能的通信方法的示意性流程图。图7的方法可以包 括步骤710-790,下面分别对步骤710-790进行详细描述。
应理解,本申请实施例中,eUICC可以支持LwM2M协议、M2M通信装置支持LwM2M GW路由(route)模式,eUICC和M2M通信装置可以同时注册到IoT平台。可以通过LwM2M协议完成profile的下载和激活,从而可以支持eUICC。
如图7所示的协议栈,IoT平台可以作为LwM2M协议的服务器(sever),eUICC可以作为LwM2M协议的客户端(client),M2M通信装置可以作为LwM2M协议的服务器(sever)/客户端(client)。IoT平台和eUICC可以具有应用层协议(App ID),IoT平台可以通过LwM2M层协议可以实现应用层数据的传输。
步骤710:eUICC向M2M通信装置发起与承载无关的协议(bearer independent protocol,BIP)通道。

M2M通信装置可以在收到eUICC发送的请求向IoT平台进行注册的消息之后,可以将M2M通信装置请求向IoT平台进行注册的新消息与eUICC发送的请求向IoT平台进行注册的消息打包至一个会话发送给IoT平台。
该M2M通信装置可以修改注册消息中的URI,可以在发送给IoT平台的一个会话中增加第一标识。作为一个示例,该第一标识可以是例如,?sd=eUICC。该第一标识(例如?sd=eUICC)可以用于表示当IoT平台受到具有相同的IP+port的两个client,该IoT平台可以根据解析出的第一标识(例如?sd=eUICC)确定其中一个client可以是eUICC。
也就是说,IoT平台可以根据解析出的第一标识(例如?sd=eUICC)确定M2M通信装置发送的两个注册请求中有一个注册请求可以是eUICC请求进行注册的。
应注意,该注册消息中的token ID可以与原消息相同。
步骤720的具体实现方式可以如下所示:

步骤735的具体实现方式如下所示:
created location:/rd/5a3f,
payload:location?sd=/rd/5b4a
其中,location:/rd/5a3f可以用于指示M2M通信装置将该注册响应结果返回模组,location?sd=/rd/5b4a可以用于指示M2M通信装置将该注册响应结果返回至eUICC。
