具体实施方式
图1为终端设备接入数据网络的网络架构图。如图1所示，RG可以通过固定网络接入，获取数据业务。因此，用户可以使用用户端设备(例如手机、平板电脑等)，通过RG接入， 以获取数据业务。其中，RG、固定网络属于同一家运营商。数据网络中设置有自动配置服务器(auto-configuration server，ACS)。RG可以根据ACS的地址信息通过固定网络与本运营商的自动配置服务器(auto-configuration server，ACS)建立连接，以使ACS可以通过该连接向RG传输配置信息，对RG进行自动配置。RG在与ACS建立连接之前，需要进行ACS的发现的过程，以获得ACS的地址信息。目前，RG可以通过与DN中的动态主机配置协议(dynamic host configuration protocol，DHCP)服务器(server)交互，获取ACS的地址信息。
图2为本申请实施例涉及的网络架构图。如图2所示，3GPP标准组发布的5G网络架构包括：接入网设备、用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)网元、接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)网元、会话管理功能(session management function，SMF)网元、策略控制功能(policy control function，PCF)网元、统一数据管理功能(unified data management，UDM)网元、网络开放功能(network exposure function，NEF)网元、DHCP服务器。本领域技术人员可以理解，图2中示出的5G网络架构并不构成对该5G网络架构的限定，具体实现时，该5G网络架构可以包括比图示更多或更少的网元，或者组合某些网元等。
上述5G网络架构中，接入网设备为接入网络侧的设备，AMF网元、SMF网元、PCF网元、UDM网元、NEF网元、DHCP服务器为核心网络侧的网元(简称：核心网网元)。这里所说的接入网络可以是无线接入网络或固定宽带接入网络。因此，上述5G网络架构也可以称为固移融合的架构。在一些实施例中，上述DHCP服务器在上述5G网络架构中也可以独立于核心网络之外存在。即，DHCP服务器可以属于核心网络，也可以不属于核心网络。
终端设备可以通过5G网络架构接入与5G网络架构中的核心网络连接的DN。这里所说的终端设备可以为：机顶盒(set top box，STB)、RG、客户终端设备(customer premise equipment，CPE)、物联网(internet of things，IoT)中的终端设备、带无线收发功能的电脑、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等。这里所说的DN可以是任意能够为用户提供数据服务的网络，例如因特网(Internet)网络，IPTV网络，IP多媒体子系统(ip multimedia subsystem，IMS)网络等。终端设备也可以包括用户端设备，例如：终端设备为图1中的用户端。在本申请实施例中，DN相对于5G网络架构来说为第三方网络。在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备与ACS属于同一家运营商。ACS网元可以对与ACS网元建立连接的终端设备进行自动配置。
具体地，接入网设备用于将终端设备接入核心网络。当接入网设备对应的接入网络为固定宽带接入网络时，接入网设备可以是固定宽带接入网络中的固定接入网关功能(fixed access gateway function，FAGF)网元。当接入网设备对应的接入网络为无线接入网络时，接入网设备可以是无线接入网设备。这里所说的无线接入网设备是终端设备通过无线方式接入到该5G网络架构中的接入设备，例如可以是网络侧NodeB、演进型网络侧eNodeB、5G移动通信系统中的网络侧、未来移动通信系统中的网络侧或WiFi系统中的接入节点等，本申请的实施例对无线接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。需要说明的是，若接入网设备对应的接入网络为固定宽带接入网络终端设备也可以通过固定宽带接入网络中的固定移动互通功能(fixed-mobile interworking function，FMIF)网元与上述5G 网络架构中的核心网网元进行通信。
AMF网元用于对终端设备能否接入核心网络进行管理。SMF网元用于对终端设备通过核心网络建立的会话连接进行管理，每个会话连接用于传输终端设备的用户面数据。UPF网元用于传输用户面数据。PCF网元用于提供终端设备接入核心网络的策略，如服务质量(quality of service，QoS)策略。UDM网元用于存储终端设备的签约数据。NEF网元为5G网络架构中的能力开放网元，第三方网络设备可以调用运营商提供的API，通过NEF向5G系统订阅事件。DHCP服务器用于为终端设备提供与5G网络架构中的核心网络连接的DN的接入服务。
以终端设备为RG为例，如前述描述所说，上述图2所示的5G网络架构支持RG通过无线接入网络或者固定宽带接入网络接入5G核心网络，进而接入与5G核心网络连接的DN。然而，5G核心网络中设置的DHCP服务器除了为RG提供DN的接入服务，可能还会为其他运营商的终端设备提供DN的接入服务，或者，5G核心网络所属的运营商与RG所属的运营商并非同一家运营商，导致现有的5G网络架构无法进行RG的自动配置。
本申请实施例提供了一种网络配置方法，可以向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息，以使得终端设备可以从5G网络架构中获取该配置服务网元的信息。其中，该配置服务网元的信息包括：该配置服务网元的地址信息。这样，终端设备可以根据配置服务网元的地址信息与配置服务网元建立连接，以使配置服务网元可以通过该5G网络架构对终端设备自动进行配置。在一种可能的实现方式中，配置服务网元与终端设备属于同一家运营商。本领域可以理解的是，本申请实施例所提供的方法包括但不限于RG通过5G网络架构接入DN网络的场景，只要是涉及到终端设备通过上述图2所示的5G网络架构接入DN的场景，都可以采用本申请实施例所提供的方法。
下面基于图2所示的5G网络架构，通过一些实施例对本申请实施例的方法进行详细说明。下面这几个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3为本申请实施例提供的一种网络配置方法的流程图。本实施例涉及的是配置服务网元向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息的具体过程。本实施例涉及的网元包括：配置服务网元(例如ACS)、5G网络架构中与外部网络进行交互的网络开放网元(例如NEF网元)、5G网络架构中的核心网网元。如图3所示，该方法包括：
S101、配置服务网元生成配置请求消息。
其中，配置请求消息包括：配置服务网元的信息，配置服务网元的信息包括：配置服务网元的地址信息。
S102、配置服务网元向网络开放网元发送该配置请求消息。
相应地，网络开放网元可以接收该配置请求消息。
S103、网络开放网元向核心网网元发送配置请求消息。
S104、核心网网元根据配置请求消息，对配置服务网元的信息进行处理。
具体的，DN中的配置服务网元可以生成携带有配置服务网元的信息的配置请求消息。其中，配置服务网元的信息包括配置服务网元的地址信息，例如，配置服务网元的统一资源定位符(uniform resource locator，URL)，和/或，配置服务网元的网络之间互连的协议(internet protocol，IP)地址等。在生成配置请求消息后，配置服务网元可以向5G网络架 构中用于与外部网络进行交互的网络开放网元发送该配置请求消息，以向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息。例如，配置服务网元可以通过调用网络开放网元的应用程序编程接口(application programming interface，API)，将配置请求消息发送给网络开放网元。
网络开放网元在接收到配置请求消息后，可以向核心网络侧的核心网网元发送该配置请求消息。其中，这里所说的核心网网元可以是5G网络架构中用于配置该配置服务网元的信息的核心网网元(简称：配置网元)，例如下述任一网元：统一数据库(unified data repository，UDR)网元、数据管理网元(例如UDM网元)、策略控制网元(例如PCF网元)、DHCP服务器等。或者，上述核心网网元还可以是与配置网元连接的核心网网元。例如，配置网元为：数据管理网元(例如UDM网元)或策略控制网元(例如PCF网元)，与配置网元连接的核心网网元为UDR网元。可以理解，若5G网络架构中设置有多个DHCP服务器，每个DHCP服务器对应一个或多个运营商，则上述网络开放网元可以将上述配置请求消息转发给与配置服务网元所属的运营商对应的DHCP服务器。
当上述核心网网元为配置网元时，则上述核心网网元在接收到网络开放网元发送的配置请求消息后，可以根据该配置请求信息，存储该配置请求消息中携带的配置服务网元的信息。一种可能的实现方式，上述配置请求消息还可以包括第一指示信息，第一指示信息用于指示对配置服务网元的信息的操作。该操作包括下述任一项：新增配置服务网元的信息、更改配置服务网元的信息、删除配置服务网元的信息。则在该实现方式，上述核心网网元可以根据配置请求消息中的第一指示信息，对该配置请求消息中携带的配置服务网元的信息执行相应的操作。例如，若第一指示信息用于指示新增配置服务网元的信息，则核心网网元可以存储该配置服务网元的信息。若第一指示信息用于指示更改配置服务网元的信息，则核心网网元可以使用该配置服务网元的信息，替换之前存储的该配置服务网元的信息。若第一指示信息用于指示删除配置服务网元的信息，则核心网网元可以从本地删除该配置服务网元的信息。
当上述核心网网元为与配置网元连接的核心网网元时，则上述核心网网元在接收到网络开放网元发送的配置请求消息后，可以将该配置请求消息发送给配置网元(例如数据管理网元或策略控制网元)进行处理。配置网元在接收到该配置请求消息后，可以存储该配置请求消息中携带的配置服务网元的信息。可选的，若配置请求消息包括用于指示对配置服务网元的信息的操作的第一指示信息，配置网元可以根据配置请求消息中的第一指示信息，对该配置请求消息中携带的配置服务网元的信息执行相应的操作。
一种可能的实现方式，上述配置请求消息还可以包括：配置服务网元所属的运营商的标识和/或配置服务网元的标识，则上述网络开放网元还可以在接收到配置请求消息后，先根据配置服务网元所属的运营商的标识和/或配置服务网元的标识，对配置服务网元进行鉴权，以确定配置服务网元是否具有向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息的权限。在该实现方式下，网络开放网元可以在配置服务网元鉴权通过之后，再向核心网网元发送该配置请求消息。通过这种方式，可以避免非法数据网络的配置服务网元向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息。
可以理解，上述配置服务网元的信息还可以包括配置服务网元的其他信息，本申请实施例对此不进行限定。一种可能的实现方式，上述配置服务网元的信息还可以包括：DN的标识，该DN可以为终端设备接收配置服务网元发送的配置信息的会话所属的网络。这样， 后续终端设备在从5G网络架构中获取到上述配置服务网元的信息后，在根据配置服务网元的地址信息与配置服务网元建立连接时，可以基于该DN的标识，快速建立用于接收配置服务网元发送的配置信息的会话。这样，配置服务网元可以通过该会话，向终端设备传输配置信息，对终端设备进行自动配置，提高了自动配置终端设备的效率。
通过上述方式，可以使数据网络的配置服务网元向5G网络架构配置该配置服务网元的信息。
下面对终端设备如何从5G网络架构中获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息进行说明。图4为本申请实施例提供的另一种网络配置方法的流程图。如图4所示，该方法包括：
S201、终端设备向第一核心网网元发送第一请求消息。
其中，该第一请求消息用于获取配置服务网元的信息。
S202、第一核心网网元获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息。
其中，S201和S202的执行顺序可以互换，图2示出的是以先执行S201后执行S202为例的流程图。
S203、第一核心网网元向终端设备发送第一响应消息。
其中，该响应消息包括：配置服务网元的信息。
具体的，上述终端设备可以向第一核心网网元发送请求消息，请求获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息。这里所说的终端设备对应的配置服务网元为与终端设备属于同一运营商，且对终端具有配置权限的配置服务网元。这里所说的第一核心网网元可以为接入管理网元(例如AMF网元)或会话管理网元(例如SMF网元)。
上述请求消息例如可以包括终端设备的标识和/或第二指示信息，第二指示信息用于请求获取配置服务网元的信息。这里所说的终端设备的标识可以包括下述至少一项：终端设备的ID、终端设备的国际移动用户识别码(international mobile subscriber identification number，IMSI)、终端设备的通用公共签约标识(generic public subscription identifier，GPSI)、终端设备的移动台国际用户识别码(Mobile Subscriber International ISDN number，MSISDN)等。上述第二指示信息例如可以为终端设备待接入的DN的标识，或者，1比特的标志位等。例如，在该标志位为1时，用于请求获取配置服务网元的信息。
第一核心网网元可以在接收到终端设备发送的第一请求消息之后，或者，在接收到终端设备发送的第一请求消息之前，从配置网元处获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息，并携带在第一响应消息中发送给终端设备。通过这种方式，可以使终端设备从5G网络架构中获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息。在获取到终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息后，终端设备可以根据该配置服务网元的信息中携带的配置服务网元的地址信息，与配置服务网元建立连接，以使配置服务网元可以对终端设备自动进行配置。
一种可能的实现方式，若配置网元为数据管理网元(例如UDM网元)、策略控制网元(例如PCF网元)或DHCP服务器等，则第一核心网网元可以向配置网元发送用于获取配置服务网元的信息的第二请求消息。其中，该第二请求消息可以包括：终端设备的标识和/或上述第二指示信息。配置网元在接收到该第二请求消息后，可以根据该第二请求消息，获取配置服务网元的信息，并向第一核心网网元反馈包括配置服务网元的信息的第二响应消息。
例如，若上述5G网络架构仅为一个运营商的终端设备提供接入DN的服务，此时，上述配置网元中仅会配置有该运营商的配置服务网元的信息，在该场景下，上述第二请求消息可以只包括第二指示信息。这样，配置网元根据第二指示信息，可以将其上配置的配置服务网元的信息携带在第二响应消息中发送给第一核心网网元。
例如，若上述5G网络架构为至少一个运营商的终端设备提供接入DN的服务，此时，上述配置网元中会配置有每个运营商的配置服务网元的信息，在该场景下，上述第二请求消息可以包括终端设备的标识。这样，配置网元根据终端设备的标识，可以先确定配置服务网元所属的运营商的标识，进而根据配置服务网元所属的运营商的标识，获取配置服务网元的信息。从而，配置网元可以将所获取到的配置服务网元的信息携带在第二响应消息中发送给第一核心网网元。可以理解，上述第二请求消息可以为默认的用于获取配置服务网元的信息的请求消息，或者，上述第二请求消息还可以包括用于指示获取配置服务网元的信息的第二指示信息，以通过第二指示信息指示第二请求消息用于获取配置服务网元的信息。
一种可能的实现方式，若配置网元为UDR网元，则第一核心网网元可以向与配置网元连接的第二核心网网元发送第二请求消息。第二核心网网元在接收到该第二请求消息后，可以向配置网元发送用于获取配置服务网元的信息的第三请求消息。其中，第三请求消息可以包括终端设备的标识和/或第二指示信息。配置网元在接收到该第三请求消息后，可以根据该第三请求消息，获取配置服务网元的信息，并向第二核心网网元反馈包括配置服务网元的信息的第三响应消息。第二核心网网元可以根据第三响应消息，向第一核心网网元发送包括配置服务网元的信息的第二响应消息。在该实现方式下，上述第二核心网网元例如可以为：数据管理网元(例如UDM网元)或策略控制网元(例如PCF网元)。
在终端设备通过上述方式从5G网络架构中获取终端设备对应的配置服务网元的信息之后，若配置服务网元通过执行上述图3所示的流程，向5G网络架构更新了该配置服务网元的信息，则上述配置网元在根据配置服务网元发送的配置请求消息，完成配置服务网元的信息的更新后，还可以向接入管理网元发送配置信息更新消息。其中，该配置信息更新消息用于指示更新配置服务网元的信息，配置更新消息包括：配置服务网元的更新的信息。
接入管理网元在接收到该配置更新消息后，可以将将配置更新消息转发给终端设备，以使终端设备根据配置更新消息更新本地存储的配置服务网元的信息。例如，终端设备可以根据配置更新消息携带的配置服务网元的更新的信息，替换本地存储的该配置服务网元的信息。
一种可能的实现方式，若上述配置服务网元所发送的用于更新配置服务网元的信息的消息中携带有前述所说的第一指示信息，则上述配置网元在通过接入管理网元向终端设备发送的配置更新消息中也可以包括该第一指示信息，以使得终端设备可以根据第一指示信息，执行相应的更新操作，在此不再赘述。
