具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。方法实施例中的具体操作方法也可以应用于装置实施例或系统实施例中。
参阅图1所示,为本申请适用的一种可能的网络架构示意图。该网络架构为5G网络架构。该网络架构中的网元包括终端、接入网(access network,AN)、核心网(Core)以及数据网络(data network,DN)。其中,接入网可以为无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)。在该网络架构中,终端、AN和Core是构成该网络架构的主要部分。对于AN和Core中的网元来说,从逻辑上可以分为用户面和控制面两部分,控制面负责移动网络的管理,用户面负责业务数据的传输。例如,在图1所示的网络架构中,NG2参考点位于RAN控制面和Core控制面之间,NG3参考点位于RAN用户面和Core用户面之间,NG6参考点位于Core用户面和DN之间。
在图1所示的网络架构中,终端是一种具有无线收发功能的设备,是移动用户与网络交互的入口,能够提供基本的计算能力,和存储能力,并向用户显示业务窗口、接受用户操作输入。在5G通信系统中,终端会采用新空口技术与AN建立信号连接和数据连接,从而传输控制信号和业务数据到网络。
具体地,终端可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、 无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。
在图1所示的网络架构中,AN类似于传统通信网络里面的基站,部署在靠近终端的位置,为特定区域的授权用户提供入网功能,并能够根据用户的级别、业务的需求等确定不同质量的传输隧道来传输用户数据。AN能够管理并合理利用自身的资源,按需为终端提供接入服务,并负责把控制信号和业务数据在终端和Core之间转发。
在图1所示的网络架构中,Core负责维护移动网络的签约数据、管理移动网络的网元,并为终端提供会话管理、移动性管理、策略管理、安全认证等功能。例如,在终端附着的时候,为终端提供入网认证;在终端有业务请求时,为终端分配网络资源;在终端移动的时候,为终端更新网络资源;在终端空闲的时候,为终端提供快恢复机制;在终端去附着的时候,为终端释放网络资源;在终端有业务数据时,为终端提供数据路由功能,如转发上行数据到DN,或者从DN接收下行数据并转发到AN。
在图1所示的网络架构中,DN是为用户提供业务服务的数据网络。实际通信过程中,客户端通常位于终端,服务端通常位于DN。DN可以是私有网络,如局域网,也可以是不受运营商管控的外部网络,如Internet,还可以是运营商共同部署的专有网络,如提供IP多媒体网络子系统(IP multimedia core network subsystem,IMS)服务的网络。
参阅图2所示,为本申请适用的一种具体的网络架构示意图。该网络架构为5G网络架构。该5G架构中的网元包括终端、无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)和数据网络(data network,DN),图2中以终端为用户设备(user equipment,UE)为例。此外,该网络架构还包括核心网网元,核心网网元包括用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元和控制面功能网元。具体地,控制面功能网元包括但不限于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、认证服务器功能(authentication server function,AUSF)网元、应用功能(application function,AF)网元、统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)网元、策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)网元、网络开放功能网元(network exposure function,NEF)网元、NF存储库功能(NF repository function,NRF)网元和网络切片选择功能(network slice selection function,NSSF)网元。
可选地,在该网络架构中,控制面功能网元还可以包括局域网服务管理功能网元(LAN service management function,LSMF)。
实际应用中,LSMF网元可以作为独立的物理功能实体,也可以作为部署在其他网元(例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元)中的逻辑功能实体。
需要说明的是,在传统的核心网架构中,控制面功能网元之间采用点对点通信方式,即控制面功能网元之间的接口通信采用一套特定的消息,接口两端的控制面功能网元仅能使用这套特定的消息进行通信。而在5G核心网架构中,控制面采用服务化架构,即控制面功能网元之间的交互采用服务调用的方式,控制面功能网元会向其他控制面功能网元开放服务,供其他控制面功能网元调用。
下面对图2所示的网络架构中各网元的功能进行详细介绍。由于UE、RAN以及DN的功能在图1所示网络架构的相关描述中已经介绍过,下面重点介绍各个核心网网元的功能。
所述UPF网元是用户面的功能网元,主要负责连接外部网络,其包括了长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)的服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)和分组数据网网关(packet data networkgateway,PDN-GW)的相关功能。具体地,UDF可以根据SMF的路由规则执行用户数据包转发,如上行数据发送到DN或其他UPF;下行数据转发到其他UPF或者RAN。
所述AMF网元负责UE的接入管理和移动性管理,例如负责UE的状态维护、UE的可达性管理、非移动性管理接入层(mobility management non-access-stratum,MM NAS)消息的转发、会话管理(session management,SM)N2消息的转发。在实际应用中,AMF网元可实现LTE网络框架中MME里的移动性管理功能,还可实现接入管理功能。
所述SMF网元负责会话管理,为UE的会话分配资源、释放资源;其中资源包括会话服务质量(quality of service,QoS)、会话路径、转发规则等。
所述AUSF网元用于执行UE的的安全认证。
所述AF网元可以是第三方的应用控制平台,也可以是运营商自己的设备,所述AF网元可以为多个应用服务器提供服务。
所述UDM网元可存储UE的签约信息。
所述PCF网元用于进行用户策略管理,类似于LTE中的策略与计费规则功能(policy and charging rules function,PCRF)网元,主要负责策略授权、服务质量以及计费规则的生成,并将相应规则通过SMF网元下发至UPF网元,完成相应策略及规则的安装。
所述NEF网元用于以北向应用程序编程接口(application programming interface,API)的方式向第三方开放网络功能。
所述NRF网元用于为其他网元提供网络功能实体信息的存储和选择功能。
所述NSSF网元用于为UE选择网络切片。
在图2所示的网络架构中还可包含LSMF网元。LSMF网元用于进行LAN服务区管理。具体地,在定义LAN群组时,在LSMF中配置该群组的服务区域;或者,在更新LAN群组时,LSMF网元中更新该群组的服务区域。LSMF中存储的服务区域信息可发送给其他网元(例如AMF网元或UDM网元),其他网元可根据该服务区域信息对该群组中的UE进行局域网通信的管理。
其中,图2所示的网络架构中,与本申请有关的网元主要包括:UE、AMF、UDM、LSMF、NEF和AF。
下面,对本申请实施例涉及的基本概念进行解释。需要说明的是,这些解释是为了让本申请更容易被理解,而不应该视为对本申请所要求的保护范围的限定。
一、局域网标识(local area network identification,LAN ID)
LAN ID可以理解为一个LAN群组的标识。也就是说,LAN ID可用于标识一个LAN群组或者一个特定的LAN服务。用同一LAN ID标识的终端属于同一LAN群组,可以使用该LAN ID对应的LAN服务,即用同一LAN ID标识的终端之间可以进行LAN通信。
具体地,从格式上来说,LAN ID可以是特殊的域名(如DNN)、字符串、内部组标识(internalgroup identifier)、外部组标识(external group identifier),也可以是序列号。此外,LAN ID还可采用一些特殊的格式,例如LAN ID中还可包括提供商信息、运营商信息、网络信息、域信息等。
本申请实施例中,还涉及“终端的LAN ID”这一概念。对于某个终端来说,该终端可归属于一个或多个LAN群组或LAN服务。对于某个终端来说,该终端还可以签约一个或多个LAN群组或LAN服务。本申请实施例中,终端签约的任一个LAN群组或LAN服务的LAN ID可以理 解为该终端的LAN ID。对于某个终端来说,该终端还可以关联或者对应到一个或多个LAN群组或LAN服务。本申请实施例中,终端关联或者对应到任一个LAN群组或LAN服务的LAN ID可以理解为该终端的LAN ID。
二、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息
如前所述,LAN服务是有区域限制的。比如,某企业雇员的办公设备组成一个LAN群组,LAN仅能在该企业的办公区域内为LAN群组中的办公设备提供LAN服务(即LAN群组中的办公设备之间仅能在该企业的办公区域内进行LAN通信),若企业雇员的办公设备不处于办公区域内,则LAN不再为该办公设备提供LAN服务。再比如,工厂中的设备组成一个LAN群组,LAN仅能在该工厂的厂房中为LAN群组中的设备提供LAN服务(即LAN群组中的设备之间仅能在厂房中进行LAN通信),若设备不处于厂房中,则LAN不再为该设备提供LAN服务。当该设备再次移动到厂房中,LAN才可为该设备提供LAN服务。
上述可以为LAN群组中的终端提供LAN服务的区域可以理解为LAN群组的服务区域。由于LAN群组可以用LAN ID标识,因而LAN群组的服务区域也可以称为LAN ID对应的服务区域。本申请实施例中,将用于指示LAN ID对应的服务区域的信息称为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,LAN ID对应的服务区域信息是一个LAN粒度的概念,即LAN ID对应的服务区域信息适用于LAN ID所述标识的LAN群组内的所有终端,LAN ID对应的服务区域信息仅与LAN群组有关,与LAN群组包含的终端的配置信息等可能并不相关。LAN可以在LAN ID对应的服务区域内为LAN群组中的终端提供LAN服务;但是对于某个终端来说,该终端位于LAN ID对应的服务区域内并不代表该终端一定可以与LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信,该终端能否与LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信还与该终端的签约数据等配置信息(例如该终端的注册区域)有关,相关内容将在后面介绍,此处不再赘述。
从表示方式上来说,LAN ID对应的服务区域信息包括但不限于跟踪区标识列表(tracking areaidentitylist,TA list)(或者称为TAL)、小区列表(cell list)以及地理位置信息这三种表示方式。可选地,当LAN ID对应的服务区域信息通过地理位置信息表示时,地理位置信息也可以转换为TA list或者cell list的表示方式。
示例性地,LAN ID对应的服务区域可以由N个跟踪区组成,N≥1。此时,LAN ID对应的服务区域信息可以由包含N个跟踪区标识的TAlist表示。
三、终端的注册区域信息
当终端在3GPP网络注册时,AMF网元会为终端分配一个TAL,该TAL中包括一组跟踪区标识的集合,这组跟踪区可视为终端的注册区域。AMF网元为终端分配注册区域时,考虑的因素包括但不限于:移动模式(例如终端的移动性统计数据)、移动限制(例如禁止接入的区域)、终端当前位置等。
终端的注册区域可以理解为终端可以与网络建立信令连接的区域:在终端处于空闲态,而网络有数据和信令需要发送到终端时,若终端位于注册区域内,则网络可寻呼终端以使终端可达(网络在注册区域内的所有基站上都发送寻呼信令)。
示例性地,当终端与网络没有信令连接(即终端处于空闲态)时,网络可在该终端的注册区域内向终端发送寻呼信令。若终端此时位于注册区域内,则终端与网络建立信令连接,终端转换为连接态;若终端移动到注册区域之外,由于网络无法寻呼到该终端,因而无法建立终端与网络之间的信令连接。
终端的注册区域信息可通过终端发起的注册流程生成:AMF网元接收到终端发送的注册请求消息(携带终端的ID)后,动态生成该终端的注册区域信息,并将该终端的ID以及该终端的注册区域信息对应存储到本地上下文中,核心网中的其他网元可根据该终端的ID向AMF查询该终端的注册区域信息。
需要说明的是,通过终端的注册流程,AMF网元可生成针对该终端的本地上下文,其中该终端的本地上下文中不仅包括该终端的ID以及该终端的注册区域信息,还包括其他信息。由于终端的注册流程为现有技术,且为实现本申请实施例主要需从本地上下文中获取终端的ID以及终端的注册区域信息,因此本申请实施例中对本地上下文中包含的对其他信息不再详细说明。
示例性地,终端的注册区域可以由M个跟踪区组成,M≥1。此时,终端的注册区域信息可以由包含M个跟踪区标识的TA list表示。
四、LAN ID对应的限制信息
LAN ID对应的限制信息可以理解为该LAN ID标识的LAN群组中的所有终端进行LAN通信的限制信息。
本申请实施中,LAN ID对应的限制信息的表示方式可以有多种。LAN ID对应的限制信息可以由禁止通信区域信息、限制通信区域信息的一种或者多种组成。其中,禁止通信区域信息用于指示禁止进行LAN通信的区域,LAN群组中的所有终端在该区域不允许进行任何类型的通信;限制通信区域信息用于指示限制进行LAN通信的区域,LAN群组中的所有终端在该区域内仅允许进行特定类型的通信,例如仅允许终端在该区域内响应寻呼信令。
此外,LAN ID对应的限制信息还可以包括可用的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)信息、禁止的PLMN信息、可用的无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)信息、禁止的RAT信息、可用的接入类型(Access Type)信息、禁止的Access Type信息、可用的核心网类型(Core Type)信息、禁止的Core Type信息中的一种或者多种构成。
其中,可用的PLMN信息用于指示LAN群组中可进行LAN通信的PLMN标识,对于LAN群组中的终端来说,只有在该终端的PLMN标识与可用的PLMN信息指示的PLMN标识相同的情况下,该终端才可进行LAN通信;禁止的PLMN信息用于指示LAN群组中不可进行LAN通信的PLMN标识,对于LAN群组中的终端来说,在该终端的PLMN标识与禁止的PLMN信息指示的PLMN标识相同的情况下,该终端不可进行LAN通信。
对于可用的RAT信息、禁止的RAT信息、可用的Access Type信息、禁止的Access Type信息、可用的Core Type信息、禁止的Core Type信息的解释可参照上述关于可用的PLMN信息、禁止的PLMN信息的相关解释,此处不再赘述。
通过以上介绍不难理解,LAN ID对应的限制信息可以理解为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的一种补充。在终端处于LAN ID对应的服务区域中的情况下,并不代表LAN一定可以为该终端提供LAN服务,只有在该终端符合LAN ID对应的限制信息指示的可用于进行LAN通信的条件的情况下,LAN才可为该终端提供LAN服务。
比如,LAN ID标识的LAN群组内的某终端位于LAN ID对应的服务区域内,LAN ID对应的限制信息中包含禁止的PLMN信息(比如为PLMN A),而该终端对应的PLMN标识为PLMN B,在这种情况下,LAN可为该终端提供LAN服务。
再比如,LAN ID标识的LAN群组内的某终端处于LAN ID对应的服务区域内,LAN ID对应的限制信息中包含可用的Access Type信息(比如为Access Type C),而该终端的接入类 型为Access Type D,在这种情况下,由于LAN限制采用Access Type D接入网络的终端进行LAN通信,因而LAN不可为该终端提供LAN服务。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,LAN ID对应的限制信息是一个LAN粒度的概念,LAN ID对应的限制信息适用于LAN ID所标识的LAN群组内的所有终端,即LAN ID对应的限制信息仅与LAN群组有关,与LAN群组包含的终端的配置信息等均无关。
五、终端的限制信息
终端的限制信息可以理解为该终端进行LAN通信的限制信息。本申请实施中,终端的限制信息的表示方式可以有多种。终端的限制信息可以由禁止通信区域信息、允许通信区域信息、限制通信区域信息的一种或者多种组成。其中,禁止通信区域信息用于指示禁止所述终端进行LAN通信的区域;允许通信区域信息用于指示允许所述终端进行LAN通信的区域;限制通信区域信息用于指示限制所述终端进行LAN通信的区域,所述终端在该区域内仅允许进行特定类型的通信,例如仅允许所述终端在该区域内响应寻呼信令。
此外,终端的限制信息还可以包括可用的PLMN信息、禁止的PLMN信息、可用的RAT信息、禁止的RAT信息、可用的接入类型(Access Type)信息、禁止的Access Type信息、可用的核心网类型(Core Type)信息、禁止的Core Type信息中的一种或者多种构成。
其中,可用的PLMN信息用于指示可进行LAN通信的PLMN标识,只有在该终端的PLMN标识与可用的PLMN信息指示的PLMN标识相同的情况下,该终端才可进行LAN通信;禁止的PLMN信息用于指示不可进行LAN通信的PLMN标识,在该终端的PLMN标识与禁止的PLMN信息指示的PLMN标识相同的情况下,该终端不可进行LAN通信。
对于可用的RAT信息、禁止的RAT信息、可用的Access Type信息、禁止的Access Type信息、可用的Core Type信息、禁止的Core Type信息的解释可参照上述关于可用的PLMN信息、禁止的PLMN信息的相关解释,此处不再赘述。
如前所述,LAN可以在LAN ID对应的服务区域内为LAN群组中的终端提供LAN服务;但是对于某个终端来说,该终端位于LAN ID对应的服务区域内并不代表该终端一定可以与LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信,该终端能否与LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信还与该终端的注册区域有关,若该终端位于LAN ID对应的服务区域内,但该终端并不位于该终端的注册区域内,该终端也不可与LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,终端的限制信息是一个UE粒度的概念,终端的限制信息仅适用于该终端,即终端的限制信息对该终端所属的LAN群组中的其他终端并不适用。
六、终端的LAN通信区域信息
通过前面的介绍不难理解,终端与所属LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信的条件至少包括:该终端位于LAN群组的ID(LAN ID)对应的服务区域内,且该终端位于该终端的注册区域内。也就是说,在该终端位于LAN ID对应的服务区域以及该终端的注册区域的交叉区域内时,该终端可与所属LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信。本申请实施例中,将该交叉区域的指示信息称为终端的LAN通信区域信息。也就是说,终端的LAN通信区域信息可以理解为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息和终端的注册区域信息的交集。此外,如果终端的限制信息中包括允许通信区域信息,则终端的LAN通信区域信息可以理解为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,终端的注册区域信息和终端的允许通信区域信息三者的交集。
那么,本申请实施例中,终端的LAN通信区域信息用于指示终端可与所属LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信的区域。
需要说明的是,LAN通信区域信息是本申请实施例中采用的表达方式,其还可以用其他表达方式替代,只要该表达方式用于指示终端可与所属LAN群组内的其他终端进行LAN通信的区域即可。示例性地,终端的LAN通信区域信息可用如下表达方式替代:终端的LAN服务区域信息,终端对应的LAN服务区域信息,终端相关的LAN服务区域信息,终端关联的LAN服务区域信息;终端的LAN可用区域信息,终端对应的LAN可用区域信息,终端相关的LAN可用区域信息,终端关联的LAN可用区域信息;LAN的终端服务区域信息,LAN对应的终端服务区域信息,LAN相关的终端服务区域信息,LAN关联的终端服务区域信息;LAN的终端可用区域信息,LAN对应的终端可用区域信息,LAN相关的终端可用区域信息,LAN关联的终端可用区域信息。
示例性地,如图3所示,假设终端的注册区域为A,该终端所属LAN群组的ID(即LAN ID)对应的服务区域为B。那么,终端的LAN通信区域可以为区域C。
从表示方式上来说,终端的LAN通信区域信息包括但不限于TA list、cell list以及地理位置信息这三种表示方式。可选地,当终端的LAN通信区域信息通过地理位置信息表示时,地理位置信息也可以转换为TA list或者cell list的表示方式。
示例性地,终端的LAN通信区域可以由P个跟踪区组成,P≥1。此时,终端的LAN通信区域信息可以由包含P个跟踪区标识的TA list表示。
示例性地,终端的LAN通信区域可以由Q个小区组成,Q≥1。此时,终端的LAN通信区域信息可以由包含Q个小区标识的cell list表示。
七、LAN信息
本申请实施例中,LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息,LAN信息可用于对终端的局域网通信进行管理。具体地,可由终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
如前所述,终端的LAN通信区域信息可以理解为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息和终端的注册区域信息的交集。如果终端的限制信息中包括允许通信区域信息,则终端的LAN通信区域信息可以理解为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息、终端的注册区域信息和终端的允许通信区域信息三者的交集。特别地,在终端的限制信息中包括允许通信区域信息的情况下,终端的LAN通信区域信息也可以称为终端的服务限制信息。
具体地,终端根据该终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理的方式可以是:在终端发起局域网通信请求之前,终端可根据URSP(终端路由选择策略)获取绑定的LAN ID,并查看终端所在的位置;终端根据LAN ID和终端的位置,查看终端是否在LAN通信区域中。如果在,终端可以发起局域网通信请求(例如会话建立/修改请求),然后发送数据;如果不在,终端不可以发起局域网通信请求。
此外,网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)也可根据该终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。以AMF网元为例,AMF网元根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元在接收到终端发送的局域网通信请求(例如会话建立/修改请求)之后,会查看终端的位置,并根据会话信令的LAN ID以及终端的ID查找终端的LAN信息,若终端不在LAN通信区域中,则AMF会通知SMF网元,SMF网元做出相应处理:比如,SMF网元会拒绝为终端建立会话/修改会话;再比如,如果SMF网元在接收到AMF网元的通知时已经为终端建立会话会话,则SMF网元也可以去激活或者释放相关的会话。
其他网元根据该终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理的方式与AMF网元根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理的方式类似,此处不再赘述。
可选地,在确定终端的LAN信息时,还可考虑LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息。也就是说,终端的LAN信息中还可包括LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息。
终端在根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理时,还需考虑LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息。只有在终端满足这些限制信息指示的可进行局域网通信的条件时,终端才可发起局域网通信。
网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)在根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理时,也需考虑LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息。只有在终端满足这些限制信息指示的可进行局域网通信的条件时,网络(例如例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)才可能允许终端发起局域网通信。
例如,终端的LAN信息除了包含LAN ID和终端的LAN通信区域信息之外,还包括LAN ID对应的限制信息。LAN ID对应的限制信息中包含禁止通信区域信息。那么,终端在根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理时,若该终端位于LAN ID对应的限制信息中指示的禁止通信区域内,则会禁止该终端发起局域网通信请求。
八、群组创建/群组更新
如前所述,属于同一LAN群组的终端之间可以进行LAN通信。其中,LAN群组的相关信息(例如LAN群组的服务区域、LAN群组的LAN ID、属于该LAN群组的终端的ID、LAN ID对应的限制信息等)可通过群组创建/更新过程进行配置。
在群组创建过程中,可以由通信设备向用于进行群组管理的网元(以下称为“群组管理网元”,例如可以是LSMF网元或NEF网元)发送群组创建请求,以请求创建一个LAN群组。该群组创建请求中携带请求创建的LAN群组对应的服务区域信息以及属于该LAN群组的所有终端的ID;群组管理网元在接收到群组创建请求后可为该LAN群组分配一个LAN ID。至此,该LAN群组创建成功,LAN ID对应的服务区域信息即为群组创建请求中携带的服务区域信息。
群组更新过程可以分为两种:第一种用于更新LAN群组的服务区域信息,在LAN群组的服务区域发生变化时,通信设备可通过群组更新过程通知群组管理网元;第二种用于更新LAN群组的成员(即LAN群组中包含的终端),LAN群组的成员发生变化时,通信设备可通过群组更新请求通知群组管理网元,例如将某个终端加入该LAN群组。
第一类群组更新过程可以如下:群组管理网元接收通信设备发送的群组更新请求,该群组更新请中携带LAN ID以及该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;群组管理网元在接收到该群组更新请求后,可以对该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组的服务区域信息进行更新。
第二类群组更新过程可以如下:群组管理网元接收通信设备发送的群组更新请求,该群组更新请中携带LAN ID以及终端的ID;群组管理网元在接收到该群组更新请求后,可以将该UE ID对应的终端加入到LAN ID所表示的LAN群组中。
此外,群组管理网元接收到的群组更新请求也可以是用于指示删除LAN ID对应的群组成员的群组更新请求。群组管理网元在接收到用于指示删除某个终端的群组更新请求后,可通知AMF网元。AMF网元获知该终端已经从LAN ID标识的LAN群组中删除后,可以将该终端与该LAN ID相关的LAN信息删除(或置为空),并通知终端将与该LAN ID相关的LAN信息删除(或置为空)。终端则不可再与LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信。
此外,通信设备也可通过一次群组更新过程实现上述两类更新。比如,群组管理网元接 收通信设备发送的群组更新请求,该群组更新请中携带LAN ID、该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID;群组管理网元在接收到该群组更新请求后,可以将该UE ID对应的终端加入到LAN ID所表示的LAN群组中,同时对该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组的服务区域信息进行更新。
本申请实施例中,通信设备可向群组管理网元请求创建LAN群组或请求更新LAN群组,从而实现LAN群组的创建和更新。具体地,通信设备可以是AF网元,可以是操作维护管理(operation administration and maintenance,OAM)实体,也可以是用于进行群组创建/更新的终端。
其中,AF网元可以由垂直行业用户部署,例如可以是企业网、工业控制中的3GPP网络之外的应用服务器。AF网元也可以由移动网络运营商部署。AF网元主要用于向3GPP系统提供应用服务器的请求或策略信息等。第三方的应用(application)通过AF网元与3GPP系统进行交互和传递信息。
其中,OAM实体是运营商网管系统中的配置接口,面向运营商;运营商可以直接通过OAM实体在移动网络中的网元上配置参数。
基于图1-图2所示的网络架构,本申请实施提供一种局域网通信的管理方法,用以对LAN群组中终端的LAN通信进行管理。下面将分两个实施例(即实施例一和实施例二)对本申请提供的局域网通信的管理方法进行介绍。
其中,实施例一与实施例二的主要区别点在于确定终端的LAN信息的网元不同:在实施一中,由AMF网元确定终端的LAN信息并发送给终端;在实施例二中,由LSMF网元确定终端的LAN信息并发送给AMF网元,再由AMF网元将终端的LAN信息发送给终端。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,LSMF网元可视为前述群组管理网元,用于对LAN群组进行管理。如前面介绍中提到,LSMF网元在实际应用中可以作为独立的物理功能实体,也可以作为部署在其他网元(例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元)中的逻辑功能实体。因此,若LSMF网元作为部署在其他网元(例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元)中的逻辑功能实体,那么LSMF网元所执行的操作可视为该其他网元(例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元)所执行的操作。本申请实施例中,均以LSMF执行LAN群组管理的相关操作为例进行示意,实际实现时,LSMF网元执行的操作也可由其他网元(例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元)执行。也就是说,在本申请实施例的描述中,LSMF网元也可以替换为其他网元,例如NEF网元,PCF网元,UDM网元。
需要说明的是,如果LSMF网元位于UDM网元内,实施例中UDM网元与LSMF网元的交互可视为内部操作。
实施例一
参见图4,本申请实施例提供的一种局域网通信的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S401:LSMF网元接收通信设备发送的群组管理请求。
其中,群组管理请求可以是群组创建请求,也可以是群组更新请求。
通信设备可以为以下任一种:AF网元;OAM实体;指定终端。其中,指定终端可以是具有创建群组或者修改群组权限的终端,该指定终端可以是群组成员之一,也可以是群组成员之外的终端,本申请实施例不做限定。
S402:LSMF网元根据所述群组管理请求,获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
需要说明的是,LSMF网元在S402中获取的终端的ID为LAN ID所标识LAN群组的群组成员的ID,该终端与前述用于向LSMF网元发送群组管理请求的指定终端没有必然联系。LSMF网元在接收到群组管理请求后,可以获取到一个终端列表(UE list),该列表中包含LAN ID所标识LAN群组中的所有终端的ID,AMF网元后续可在不同场景中确定该终端列表中的某个终端的LAN信息,S401中获取到的终端的ID所指示的终端即为后续需要确定其LAN信息的终端。
其中,LSMF网元可通过两种方式获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息
方式一:通过群组创建过程获取
LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:LSMF网元接收通信设备发送的群组创建请求,该群组创建请求用于请求创建进行LAN通信的群组,该群组创建请求中携带该群组对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID;LSMF网元为该群组分配LAN ID;LSMF网元确定LAN ID对应的服务区域即为群组创建请求中携带的群组对应的服务区域。
需要说明的是,在方式一中,通信设备发送的群组创建请求中携带该群组中的所有终端的ID,上述所有终端的ID中包含S401中获取的终端的ID,即LSMF网元通过群组创建请求可获取该终端的ID。
方式二:通过群组更新过程获取
LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:LSMF网元接收通信设备发送的第一群组更新请求,该第一群组更新请求用于请求更新LAN ID对应的群组,该第一群组更新请求中携带LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;LSMF网元根据LAN ID确定终端的ID;或者,LSMF网元接收通信设备发送的第二群组更新请求,该第二群组更新请求用于请求更新LAN ID对应的群组,该第二群组更新请求中携带终端的ID、终端的LAN ID;LSMF网元根据LAN ID确定LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
如前面的介绍,群组更新过程可以分为两种:第一种用于更新LAN群组的服务区域信息,第二种用于更新LAN群组的成员(即该LAN群组中包含的终端)。在方式二中,第一群组更新请求可以视为用于更新LAN群组的服务区域信息的群组更新请求,第二群组更新请求可以视为用于更新LAN群组成员的群组更新请求。
通过第一群组更新请求对LAN ID对应的服务区域信息进行更新后,LSMF网元可获取更新后的、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。由于在该LAN群组创建时LSMF网元已获取LAN ID和终端的ID,因而在接收到第一群组更新请求后,对第一群组更新请求携带的LAN ID所标识群组的服务区域信息进行更新后,即相当于获取到终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
通过第二群组更新请求对LAN群组的成员进行更新后,可将该终端加入到LAN群组中,LSMF网元可获取到该终端的ID。由于在该LAN群组创建时LSMF网元已获取LAN ID和LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,因而在接收到第二群组更新请求后,通过查找第二群组更新请求携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,即可获取该终端的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。此外,LSMF网元接收到的群组更新请求也可以是用于指示删除LAN ID对应的群组成员的群组更新请求(以下称为第三群组更新请求)。LSMF网元在接收到用于指示删除某个终端的第三群组更新请求后,可通知AMF网元。AMF网元获知该终端已经从LAN ID标识的LAN群组中删除后,可 以将该终端与该LAN ID相关的LAN信息删除(或置为空),并通知终端将与该LAN ID相关的LAN信息删除(或置为空)。终端则不可再与LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S401一并获取。
S403:AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
其中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的方式有多种,AMF网元可通过与LSMF网元、UDM网元、终端等的交互过程获取到这些信息,具体方式将在下面的实施例A、实施例B、实施例C和实施例D中分别进行介绍,此处不再赘述。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,AMF网元在S403中也可获取这些限制信息。
S404:AMF网元根据终端的注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息。
具体地,终端的LAN通信区域信息的确定方法可以参考之前的描述,这里不再赘述。
S405:AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息。
其中,终端的LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息。
此外,若AMF网元在S403中还获取到终端的限制信息或LAN ID对应的限制信息,终端的LAN信息还可包括这些限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时,还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,AMF网元可通过配置更新消息、注册响应消息或者PDU会话管理响应消息中的任一种向终端发送终端的LAN信息。其中,PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或者PDU会话释放响应。
S406:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
具体地,S406中,终端根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,具体可通过如下方式实现:终端在终端位置不在LAN通信区域内的情况下,禁止终端发起第二LAN通信请求。
其中,第二LAN通信请求可以是信令也可以是数据。具体地,第二LAN通信请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求,也可以是用于传输数据的消息。
在终端发起第二LAN通信请求之前,终端可查看自身的位置,并根据第二LAN通信请求对应的LAN ID查找终端的LAN通信区域信息。在终端的位置不在LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内的情况下,终端禁止发起第二LAN通信请求。当然,若终端的位置在LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内,则终端可发起第二LAN通信请求。
实际实现时,终端获取LAN信息之后,可以把其中的LAN ID当做局域数据网络数据网络名称(localareadatanetworkdatanetworkname,LADN DNN),使用局域数据网络(localareadatanetwork,LADN)类似机制对终端的局域网通信进行管理,从而限制终端使用5GLAN服务。
此外,网络中的其他网元也可根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,例如 SMF网元、AMF网元、UDM网元和LSMF网元。以AMF网元为例,AMF网元根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元接收终端发送的第一LAN通信请求,该第一LAN通信请求中携带LAN ID;AMF根据LAN ID以及终端的ID确定终端的LAN信息;AMF网元在终端的位置不在LAN通信区域内的情况下,上报SMF网元,使得SMF网元对第一LAN通信请求进行处理。
其中,第一LAN通信请求可以是信令也可以是数据。具体地,第一LAN通信请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求,也可以是用于传输数据的消息。
在AMF网元接收到第一LAN通信请求之后,AMF网元可根据该会话查找本地上下文,获取该终端的ID;然后根据第一LAN通信请求携带的LAN ID对应查找该终端的LAN信息,从而获取该终端的通信区域信息。AMF查看终端的位置后,对终端的位置是否在LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内进行判断。若终端的位置不位于LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内,则AMF网元上报SMF网元,使得SMF网元对第一LAN通信请求进行处理。当然,若终端的位置位于LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内,则AMF网元也可上报SMF网元,使得SMF网元对第一LAN通信请求进行响应。
具体地,在终端的位置不位于LAN通信区域信息指示的通信区域内的情况下,SMF网元对第一LAN通信请求进行处理,可采用如下方式:SMF网元可拒绝终端发起的第一LAN通信请求,例如拒绝为终端建立/修改会话;如果SMF网元在接收到AMF网元的通知时已经为终端建立会话,则SMF网元也可去激活或者释放相关的会话。
实际实现时,AMF网元也可以LAN ID当做LADN DNN,使用LADN类似机制对终端的局域网通信进行管理,从而限制终端使用5GLAN服务。
需要说明的是,AMF网元仅为本申请实施例中采用的表达方式,在不同的网络制式或网络环境下,AMF网元可以用不同的网元名称所替代,只要该网元可用于实现本申请实施例中AMF网元的功能即可。同样地,UDM网元和LSMF网元也可由其他可用于实现同样功能的网元所代替,此处不再赘述。
由前面关于终端的LAN信息的介绍可知,确定终端的LAN信息至少需要该终端的LAN ID、该终端的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息和该终端的注册区域信息。其中,终端的注册区域信息可由AMF网元生成并保存在本地上下文中,而该终端的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息需要AMF网元从其他网元(例如LSMF网元或UDM网元)获取。
根据AMF获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的渠道和方式的不同,实施例一又可以分为四个实施例:实施例A、实施例B、实施例C和实施例D。
在实施例A中,LSMF网元将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息作为配置参数直接发送给AMF网元,将终端的LAN签约信息(例如,LAN ID以及LAN ID标识的LAN群组中的终端的ID)作为配置参数发送给UDM网元;在实施例B中,LSMF网元先将终端的LAN签约信息作为配置参数发送给UDM网元,然后LSMF网元基于AMF网元的请求将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元,UDM网元可直接将终端的LAN签约信息发送给AMF网元,也可基于AMF网元的请求将终端的LAN签约信息发送给AMF网元;在实施例C中,LSMF网元将终端的LAN签约信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息作为配置参数发送给UDM网元,UDM网元可直接将这些信息发送给AMF网元,或者基于AMF网元的请求将这些信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息使用;在实施例D中,LSMF网元未向UDM网元发送配置参数,而是将终端的LAN签约信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息等信息均保存在本地,然后LSMF网元 可直接将这些信息发送给AMF网元,或者基于AMF网元的请求将这些信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息使用。
不难看出,在实施例A、实施例B和实施例C中,LSMF网元均向UDM网元发送了配置参数(以下称为第二配置参数),在实施例A中,LSMF网元还向AMF网元发送了配置参数(以下称为第一配置参数)。
其中,第二配置参数包括的参数类型会有所不同。比如,第二配置参数中可仅包括LAN ID以及终端的ID;比如,除了LAN ID以及终端的ID之外,第二配置参数中还可包括该终端的限制信息;比如,除了LAN ID以及终端的ID之外,第二配置参数中还可包括LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;再比如,除了LAN ID以及终端的ID之外,第二配置参数中还可包括LAN ID对应的限制信息。第二配置参数在不同的实施例中包括哪些参数,将在后面的实施例A、实施例B、实施例C中进行详细介绍,此处不再赘述。
下面对实施例A、实施例B、实施例C和实施例D这四个实施例分别进行详细介绍。
需要说明的是,由于在实施例A、实施例B、实施例C和实施例D中,LSMF网元执行步骤S401从通信设备接收群组管理请求的方式相同,因而在实施例A、实施例B、实施例C和实施例D的附图以及说明中,略去了LSMF网元接收群组管理请求的步骤。
实施例A
在实施例A中,LSMF网元将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息作为配置参数直接发送给AMF网元,将终端的LAN签约信息(例如,LAN ID以及LAN ID标识的LAN群组中的终端的ID)作为配置参数发送给UDM网元,以供AMF网元确定终端的LAN信息时使用。
也就是说,在实施例A中,LSMF网元在获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息之后,可根据LAN ID对应的服务区域信息选择AMF网元和UDM网元;然后,LSMF网元向选择的AMF网元发送第一配置参数,并向选择的UDM网元发送第二配置采纳数,该第一配置参数中包括LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,该第二配置参数中包括LAN ID以及终端的ID。
可选地,该第一配置参数中还可包含LAN ID对应的限制信息,该第二配置参数中还可包含终端的限制信息。
结合以上对图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法的介绍,若采用实施例A的方案,则图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法可以如图5所示。图5中,该方法包括如下步骤。
S501:LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S501一并获取。
其中,S501中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式与S401中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式相同(通过群组管理请求获取),重复之处此处不再赘述。
S502:LSMF网元根据LAN ID对应的服务区域信息选择UDM网元以及AMF网元。
其中,LSMF网元选择的UDM网元可以是LAN ID对应的服务区域内的所有UDM网元;LSMF网元选择的AMF网元可以是LAN ID对应的服务区域内的所有AMF网元。
也就是说,在难以获知用于对LAN ID所标识群组内的终端进行统一数据管理的网元是哪一个UDM网元的情况下,LSMF网元可将第二配置参数发送给LAN ID对应的服务区域内的所有UDM网元。在难以获知用于LAN ID所标识LAN群组内的终端进行接入和移动性管理网元的 是哪一个AMF网元的情况下,LSMF网元可将第一配置参数发送给LAN ID对应的服务区域内的所有AMF网元。
S503:LSMF网元向选择的UDM网元发送第二配置参数。其中,第二配置参数包括LAN ID以及终端的ID。
可选地,第二配置参数中还可包含终端的限制信息。
S504:LSMF网元向选择的AMF网元发送第一配置参数。
其中,第一配置参数包括LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
可选地,第一配置参数中还可包含LAN ID对应的限制信息。
本申请实施例中对S503和S504的执行顺序不做限定,可先执行S503再执行S504,也可先执行S504再执行S503,或者S503和S504也可同时执行。
S505:AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,AMF网元在S505中也可获取这些限制信息,以供确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
S506:AMF网元根据终端的注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息。
S507:AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息。
其中,终端的LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息。
此外,若AMF网元在S505中还获取到终端的限制信息或LAN ID对应的限制信息,终端的LAN信息还可包括这些限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时,还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S508:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
在S508中,终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式与S406中终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
此外,网络中的其他网元也可根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,其具体实现方式在图4所示方法中也有描述,此处不再赘述。
需要注意的是,在实施例A的步骤S505中,AMF网元可基于与终端的不同的交互流程来获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,并通过不同的交互流程将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端。
例如,对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元可在接收到该终端的签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化)的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的步骤,并通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
例如,对于未在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,向UDM网元请求该终端的签约数据,并根据UDM返回的信息确定该终端的LAN信息,然后通过注册响应消息将该终端的LAN信息发送给该终端,从而使得该终端在完成注册流程后即可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信。
例如,AMF还可在终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,确定该终端的LAN信息,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
下面结合附图说明步骤S505中AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的三种具体实现方式。
方式一
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,若LSMF网元接收到群组创建请求或群组更新请求,可将终端的签约信息通知到UDM网元,UDM网元会向AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知。AMF网元可在接收到该终端的签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含该终端的LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化)的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
具体地,采用方式一时,S505中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第四签约数据更新通知,第四签约数据更新通知包括LAN ID以及终端的ID;AMF根据终端的ID获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第四签约数据更新通知中携带的LAN ID,并根据第一配置参数获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息的具体实现方式可以为:AMF网元向终端发送第三配置更新消息,第三配置更新消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式一中,对于已经在网络中注册的终端来说,AMF网元中保存有该终端的上下文,AMF网元在接收到第四签约数据更新通知后,可通过查找上下文获取第四签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID所对应的注册区域信息,即该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第四签约数据更新通知中携带的LAN ID,并根据第一配置参数获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
也就是说,在方式一中,UDM网元在接收到LSMF网元发送的第二配置参数后,确定终端已在网络中注册,则UDM可直接通过第四签约数据更新通知将第二配置参数发送给AMF网元,以便AMF网元根据第二配置参数和其他参数(例如第一配置参数)确定已注册终端的LAN信息,并将LAN信息发送给终端,使得已注册终端可基于该终端的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
此外,若UDM接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第四签约数据更新通知中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以便AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式二
对于未在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元无法通过配置更新流程将终端的LAN信息发送给终端。AMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,即向UDM网元请求该终端的签约数据,并根据UDM网元返回的签约数据确定该终端的LAN信息,然后通过注册响应消息将该终端的LAN信息发送给该终端,使得该终端在完成注册流程后即可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式二时,S505中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第三注册请求消息,第三注册请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元向UDM网元发送第四签 约数据请求消息,第四签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第四签约数据响应消息,第四签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID;AMF生成终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第四签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID,并根据第一配置参数获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送所述终端的LAN信息,其具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第三注册响应消息,第三注册响应消息携带该终端的LAN信息。
在方式二中,第四签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID,即表示UDM网元将请求进行注册的终端加入该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中。由于在创建该LAN群组时,LSMF网元已经获取到该LAN群组的LAN ID以及该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,因而AMF网元可在接收到第四签约数据响应消息后通过查找第一配置参数,得到第四签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。此外,在终端的注册流程中,AMF网元会动态生成请求进行注册的终端的注册区域信息,因而在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第四签约数据响应消息后,即可生成该终端的注册区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
可选地,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第四签约数据响应消息中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式三
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF还可在该终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式三时,S505中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第一PDU会话管理请求,第一PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID;AMF网元从终端的上下文中,获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第一PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,并根据第一配置参数获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,其具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第一PDU会话管理响应,第一PDU会话管理响应携带终端的LAN信息。
其中,第一PDU会话管理请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求或PDU会话释放请求;相应地,第一PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或PDU会话释放响应。
方式三中,已注册终端已经与AMF网元建立单独的信令连接,因而AMF网元在该AMF网元与该终端间的专用信道上接收到第一PDU会话管理请求后,即可获知该终端的ID,进而可根据该终端注册时保存的上下文信息确定该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第一PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,并根据第一配置参数获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
其中,终端向AMF网元发送的第一PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID,其具体含义可以是:终端希望与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,终端可向AMF网元发送第一PDU会话管理请求,AMF网元接收到第一PDU会话管理请求后触发确定该终端的LAN信息的过程。AMF网元对该第一PDU会话管理请求进行响应后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域 网通信。
需要说明的是,AMF网元在接收到第一PDU会话管理请求后,会通过与SMF网元的交互进行PDU会话处理,然后再向终端发送第一PDU会话管理响应。由于PDU会话处理流程为现有技术,因此本申请实施例中不再详细描述。
此外,在方式三中,该终端能否加入第一PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID所标识的LAN群组,还可通过UDM网元鉴权后确定。即,在AMF网元接收终端发送的第一PDU会话管理请求之后,AMF网元可向UDM网元发送第五签约数据请求消息,第五签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;然后,AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第五签约数据响应消息。
AMF网元在接收到第五签约数据响应消息之后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,此时可触发AMF网元执行确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。
可选地,在方式三中,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第五签约数据响应消息中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
需要说明的是,上述三种方式可以针对不同的终端单独使用(即每个终端仅采用上述三种方式中的一种来实现LAN信息确认和接收),也可针对同一终端使用上述三种方式的任意几种。例如,在某终端发起注册请求时使用方式二确定该终端的LAN信息,在该终端所属的LAN群组更新后,可通过方式一确定该终端更新后的LAN信息。此外,在该终端终端发起PDU会话管理请求时,AMF也可再次确认该终端的LAN信息,并将确认后的LAN信息发送给终端,以便能及时更新该终端的LAN信息。

此外,AMF网元可按照现有的会话流程,请求SMF网元处理该会话管理请求。
5C、AMF网元发送非接入层消息(NAS Message)给UE,该NAS Message中携带会话ID(Session ID)、LAN信息和PDU会话管理响应,从而把LAN信息配置到UE。

6、UE获取LAN信息之后,可以把其中的LAN ID当做LADN DNN,复用LADN类似机制限制UE的LAN会话,从而限制UE使用5GLAN服务。
同样地,AMF网元和SMF网元也可把该LAN ID当做LADN DNN,使用LADN类似机制处理UE的LAN会话。
其中,UE的LAN信息中还可包括restrictions1和restrictions2,作为UE或者网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)处理LAN会话时参考的信息。
实施例B
在实施例B中,LSMF网元先将终端的LAN签约信息作为配置参数发送给UDM网元,然后LSMF网元基于AMF网元的请求将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元,UDM网元可直接将终端的LAN签约信息发送给AMF网元,也可基于AMF网元的请求将终端的LAN签约信息发送给AMF网元。具体地,AMF网元可在触发确定终端的LAN信息的情况下,向LSMF网元请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,以供AMF网元确定终端的LAN信息时使用。
S701:LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S701一并获取。
其中,S701中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式与S401中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式相同(通过群组管理请求获取),重复之处此处不再赘述。

此外,若AMF网元在S704中还获取到终端的限制信息或LAN ID对应的限制信息,终端的LAN信息还可包括这些限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时,还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S707:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
在S707中,终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式与S406中终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
此外,网络中的其他网元也可根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,其具体实现方式在图4所示方法中也有描述,此处不再赘述。
需要注意的是,在实施例B的步骤S704中,AMF网元可基于与终端的不同的交互流程来判断确定该终端的LAN信息的时机,从而获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
下面结合附图说明步骤S704中AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的三种具体实现方式。
方式一
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,若LSMF网元接收到群组创建请求或群组更新请求,可将终端的签约信息通知到UDM网元,UDM网元会向AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知。AMF网元可在接收到该终端的签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含该终端的LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化)的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
具体地,采用方式一时,S704中AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识 LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第一签约数据更新通知,第一签约数据更新通知包括LAN ID以及终端的ID;AMF根据终端的ID获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元向LSMF网元发送第一请求消息,第一请求消息中携带LAN ID,第一请求消息用于请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第一响应消息,第一响应消息中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息的具体实现方式可以为:AMF网元向终端发送第一配置更新消息,第一配置更新消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式一中,AMF网元在接收到第一签约数据更新通知后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。对于已经在网络中注册的终端来说,AMF网元中保存有该终端的上下文,AMF网元在接收到第一签约数据更新通知后,可通过查找上下文获取第一签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID所对应的注册区域信息,即该终端的注册区域信息。此外,此时AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送第一请求消息,以请求获取所述LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
也就是说,在方式一中,UDM网元在接收到LSMF网元发送的第二配置参数后,确定终端已在网络中注册,则UDM网元可直接通过第一签约数据更新通知将第二配置参数发送给AMF网元,以便AMF网元可根据第二配置参数和其他参数(例如通过第一响应消息获取的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息)确定已注册终端的LAN信息,并将LAN信息发送给终端,使得已注册终端可基于该终端的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
此外,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第一签约数据更新通知中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式二
对于未在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元无法通过配置更新流程将终端的LAN信息发送给终端。AMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,即向UDM网元请求该终端的签约数据,并根据UDM网元返回的签约数据确定该终端的LAN信息,然后通过注册响应消息将该终端的LAN信息发送给该终端,使得该终端在完成注册流程后即可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式二时,S704中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第一注册请求消息,第一注册请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元向UDM网元发送第一签约数据请求消息,第一签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第一签约数据响应消息,第一签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID;AMF生成终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元向LSMF网元发送第二请求消息,第二请求消息中携带LAN ID,第二请求消息用于请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第二响应消息,第二响应消息中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,其具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第一注册响应消息,第一注册响应消息携带终端的LAN信息。
在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第一注册请求消息后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。在终端的注册流程中,AMF网元会动态生成请求进行注册的终端的注册区域信息,因而在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第一签约数据响应消息后,即可生成该终端的注册区域信息。此外,第一签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID,即表示UDM网元将请求进行注册的终端加入该 LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中。由于在创建该LAN群组时,LSMF网元已经获取到该LAN群组的LAN ID以及该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,因而AMF网元可在接收到第一签约数据响应消息后向LSMF网元发送第二请求消息,以获取该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
可选地,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第一签约数据响应消息中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式三
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF还可在该终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式三时,S704中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第二PDU会话管理请求,第二PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID;AMF网元从终端的上下文中,获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元向LSMF网元发送第四请求消息,第四请求消息中携带LAN ID,第四请求消息用于请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第四响应消息,第四响应消息中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元获取第二PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,并根据第二响应消息获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第二PDU会话管理响应,第二PDU会话管理响应携带终端的LAN信息。
其中,第二PDU会话管理请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求或PDU会话释放请求;相应地,第二PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或PDU会话释放响应。
在方式三中,AMF网元在接收到第二PDU会话管理请求后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。方式三中,已注册终端已经与AMF网元建立单独的信令连接,因而AMF网元在该AMF网元与该终端间的专用信道上接收到第二PDU会话管理请求后,即可获知该终端的ID,进而可根据该终端注册时保存的上下文信息确定该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送第四请求消息,以请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
此外,终端向AMF网元发送的第二PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID,其具体含义可以是:终端希望与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,终端可向AMF网元发送第二PDU会话管理请求,AMF网元接收到第二PDU会话管理请求后触发确定该终端的LAN信息的过程。AMF网元对该第二PDU会话管理请求进行响应后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信。
需要说明的是,AMF网元在接收到第二PDU会话管理请求后,会通过与SMF网元的交互进行PDU会话处理,然后再向终端发送第二PDU会话管理响应。由于PDU会话处理流程为现有技术,因此本申请实施例中不再详细描述。
此外,在方式三中,该终端能否加入第二PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID所标识的LAN群组,还可通过UDM网元鉴权后确定。即,在AMF网元接收终端发送的第二PDU会话管 理请求之后,AMF网元可向UDM网元发送第六签约数据请求消息,第六签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;然后,AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第六签约数据响应消息。
AMF网元在接收到第六签约数据响应消息之后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,此时可触发AMF网元执行确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。
可选地,在方式三中,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括该终端的限制信息,第六签约数据响应消息中还可携带该终端的限制信息,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
需要说明的是,上述三种方式可以针对不同的终端单独使用(即每个终端仅采用上述三种方式中的一种来实现LAN信息确认和接收),也可针对同一终端使用上述三种方式的任意几种。例如,在某终端发起注册请求时使用方式二确定该终端的LAN信息,在该终端所属的LAN群组更新后,可通过方式一确定该终端更新后的LAN信息。此外,在该终端终端发起PDU会话管理请求时,AMF也可再次确认该终端的LAN信息,并将确认后的LAN信息发送给终端,以便能及时更新该终端的LAN信息。
从上述对实施例A和实施例B的介绍可以看出,实施例A中,无论AMF网元是否需要执行确定终端的LAN信息的步骤,LSMF网元在群组创建或更新后均将第一配置参数发送给该群组服务区域内的所有AMF网元;而在实施例B中,LSMF网元并未向该群组服务区域内的所有AMF网元发送第一配置参数,而是基于AMF网元的请求向AMF网元发送携带LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的响应消息;由于只有用于为该终端服务的AMF网元会向LSMF网元发送请求消息,因而在实施例B中,LSMF网元的处理负荷小,且不用于为该终端提供服务的AMF网元也不会收到第一配置参数,对于这些AMF网元来说也可达到节省存储空间的效果。
以上是对实施例B的介绍。基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例还提供一种局域网通信的管理方法,该方法可视为图7所示方法的一个具体示例。参见图8,该方法包括如下步骤。
1.1、LSMF网元从NEF网元/AF网元接收群组(Group)创建/更新消息,获取到局域网标识(LANID)、该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息(servicearea)、该局域网群组中的UE ID、UE的限制信息(restrictions1)以及该LANID对应的限制信息(restrictions2)。

其中,LAN信息获取请求可以视为前述第二请求消息的一个具体示例,LAN信息获取响应可以视为前述第二响应消息的一个具体示例。
6B、AMF网元通过注册响应(registration response)消息,把LAN信息配置到UE。
C:在会话流程中配置UE的LAN信息
3C、UE发送非接入层消息(NAS Message)给AMF网元,该NASMessage中携带会话ID(Session ID)、LAN ID和PDU会话管理请求。
其中,PDU会话管理请求可以是会话创建请求、会话修改请求或会话释放请求。
4C、AMF网元发送签约数据请求(携带UE ID和LAN ID)给UDM网元,UDM网元返回签约数据响应消息,其中可携带restrictions1。
5C、AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求(携带LAN ID),LSMF网元向AMF网元发送LAN信息获取响应,携带servicearea和restrictions2。AMF网元根据在本地上下文中查找到的UE的注册区域信息,以及servicearea、LAN ID、restrictions1和restrictions2,确定UE的LAN信息。
此外,AMF网元可按照现有的会话流程,请求SMF网元处理该会话管理请求。
6C、AMF网元发送非接入层消息(NAS Message)给UE,该NASmessage中携带会话ID(Session ID)、LAN信息和PDU会话管理响应,从而把LAN信息配置到UE。
其中,PDU会话管理响应可从SMF网元获取。
7、UE获取LAN信息之后,可以把其中的LAN ID当做LADN DNN,复用LADN类似机制限制UE的LAN会话,从而限制UE使用5GLAN服务。
同样地,AMF网元和SMF网元也可把该LAN ID当做LADN DNN,使用LADN类似机制处理UE的LAN会话。
其中,UE的LAN信息中还可包括restrictions1和restrictions2,作为UE或者网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)处理LAN会话时参考的信息。
实施例C
在实施例C中,LSMF网元将终端的LAN签约信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息作为配置参数发送给UDM网元,UDM网元可直接将这些信息发送给AMF网元,或者基于AMF网元的请求将这些信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息使用。
也就是说,在实施例C中,LSMF网元将生成终端的LAN信息所需的所有参数均配置到UDM网元,在终端需要确定该终端的LAN信息时,可以从UDM网元一并获取这些参数。
例如,LSMF网元向UDM网元发送的第二配置参数中除了包括LAN ID以及终端的ID之外, 还可以包括LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。可选地,第二配置参数还可以包括LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息。
结合以上对图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法的介绍,若采用实施例C的方案,则图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法可以如图9所示。图9中,该方法包括如下步骤。
S901:LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S901一并获取。
其中,S901中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式与S401中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式相同(通过群组管理请求获取),重复之处此处不再赘述。
S902:LSMF网元根据LAN ID对应的服务区域信息选择UDM网元。
具体地,S902中,LSMF网元选择的UDM网元可以是LAN ID对应的服务区域信息指示的服务区域内的所有UDM网元。

可选地,第二配置参数还可以包括LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息。
S904:AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,AMF网元在S904中也可获取这些限制信息,以供确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
S905:AMF网元根据终端的注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息。
S906:AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息。
其中,终端的LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息。
此外,若AMF网元在S904中还获取到终端的限制信息或LAN ID对应的限制信息,终端的LAN信息还可包括这些限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时,还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S907:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
在S907中,终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式与S406中终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
此外,网络中的其他网元也可根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,其具体实现方式在图4所示方法中也有描述,此处不再赘述。
需要注意的是,在实施例C的步骤S904中,AMF网元可基于与终端的不同的交互流程来获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,并通过不同的交互流程将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端。
下面结合附图说明步骤S904中AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的三种具体实现方式。
方式一
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,若LSMF网元接收到群组创建请求或群组更新请求,可将终端的签约信息通知到UDM网元,UDM网元会向AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知。AMF网元可在接收到该终端的签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含该终端的LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化)的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
具体地,采用方式一时,S904中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第二签约数据更新通知,第二签约数据更新通知包括LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID;AMF根据第二签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第二签约数据更新通知携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元向终端发送第二配置更新消息,第二配置更新消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式一中,对于已经在网络中注册的终端来说,AMF网元中保存有该终端的上下文,AMF网元在接收到第二签约数据更新通知后,可通过查找上下文获取第二签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID所对应的注册区域信息,即该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第二签约数据更新通知中携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已从UDM网元获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
也就是说,在方式一中,UDM网元在接收到LSMF网元发送的第二配置参数后,确定终端已在网络中注册,则UDM可直接通过第二签约数据更新通知将第二配置参数发送给AMF网元,以便AMF网元可根据第二配置参数确定已注册终端的LAN信息,并将LAN信息发送给终端,使得已注册终端可基于该终端的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
此外,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括LAN ID对应的限制信息或该终端的限制信息,第二签约数据更新通知中还可携带这些限制信息,以便AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式二
对于未在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元无法通过配置更新流程将终端的LAN信息发送给终端。AMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,即向UDM网元请求该终端的签约数据,并根据UDM网元返回的签约数据确定该终端的LAN信息,然后通过注册响应消息将该终端的LAN信息发送给该终端,使得该终端在完成注册流程后即可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式二时,S904中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第二注册请求消息,第二注册请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元向UDM网元发送第二签约数据请求消息,第二签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第二签约数据响应消息,第二签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信 息;AMF生成终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第二签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第二注册响应消息,第二注册响应消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第二注册请求消息后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。在终端的注册流程中,AMF网元会动态生成请求进行注册的终端的注册区域信息,因而在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第二签约数据响应消息后,即可生成该终端的注册区域信息。此外,第二签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID,即表示UDM网元将请求进行注册的终端加入该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中。由于在创建该LAN群组时,LSMF网元已经获取到该LAN群组的LAN ID以及该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息并发送给UDM网元,因而UDM网元可通过第二签约数据响应消息将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
可选地,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括LAN ID对应的限制信息和该终端的限制信息,第二签约数据响应消息中还可携带LAN ID对应的限制信息和该终端的限制信息,以便AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
方式三
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF还可在该终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式三时,S904中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第三PDU会话管理请求,第三PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID;AMF网元向UDM网元发送第七签约数据请求消息,第七签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第七签约数据响应消息,第七签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元从终端的上下文中,获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第三PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,并获取第七签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元向终端发送第三PDU会话管理响应,第三PDU会话管理响应包括终端的LAN信息。
其中,第三PDU会话管理请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求或PDU会话释放请求;相应地,第三PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或PDU会话释放响应。
方式三中,AMF网元在接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。其中,已注册终端已经与AMF网元建立单独的信令连接,因而AMF网元在该AMF网元与该终端间的专用信道上接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,即可获知该终端的ID,进而可根据该终端注册时保存的上下文信息确定该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第三PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,获取第七签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
其中,终端向AMF网元发送的第三PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID,其具体含义可以是: 终端希望与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,终端可向AMF网元发送第三PDU会话管理请求,AMF网元接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后触发确定该终端的LAN信息的过程。AMF网元对该第三PDU会话管理请求进行响应后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信。
需要说明的是,AMF网元在接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,会通过与SMF网元的交互进行PDU会话处理,然后再向终端发送第三PDU会话管理响应。由于PDU会话处理流程为现有技术,因此本申请实施例中不再详细描述。
此外,在方式三中,AMF网元向UDM网元发送的第七签约数据请求消息不仅可用于请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,还可用于对终端进行鉴权。
即,在AMF网元接收终端发送的第三PDU会话管理请求之后,AMF网元可向UDM网元发送第七签约数据请求消息,第七签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;然后,AMF网元接收UDM网元发送的第七签约数据响应消息,其中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。AMF网元在接收到第七签约数据响应消息之后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,此时可触发AMF网元执行确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。
可选地,在方式三中,若UDM网元接收到的第二配置参数中还包括LAN ID对应的限制信息或该终端的限制信息,第七签约数据响应消息中还可携带LAN ID对应的限制信息或该终端的限制信息,以便AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
需要说明的是,上述三种方式可以针对不同的终端单独使用(即每个终端仅采用上述三种方式中的一种来实现LAN信息确认和接收),也可针对同一终端使用上述三种方式的任意几种。例如,在某终端发起注册请求时使用方式二确定该终端的LAN信息,在该终端所属的LAN群组更新后,可通过方式一确定该终端更新后的LAN信息。此外,在该终端终端发起PDU会话管理请求时,AMF也可再次确认该终端的LAN信息,并将确认后的LAN信息发送给终端,以便能及时更新该终端的LAN信息。
从上述关于实施例C的介绍可以看出,与实施例A和实施例B相比,实施例C中,LSMF网元将确定终端的LAN信息所需的参数均发送给UDM网元,由UDM网元选择性地下发给AMF网元,因而采用实施例C提供的方案,会减小AMF网元的负荷、增加UDM网元的负荷。在实际应用中,可以针对不同的场景选择执行实施例A、实施例B或实施例C所提供的方案。
以上是对实施例C的介绍。基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例还提供一种局域网通信的管理方法,该方法可视为图9所示方法的一个具体示例。参见图10,该方法包括如下步骤。
1.1、LSMF网元从NEF网元/AF网元接收群组(Group)创建/更新消息,获取到局域网标识(LAN ID)、该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息(servicearea)、该局域网群组中的UE ID、UE的限制信息(restrictions1)以及该LAN ID对应的限制信息(restrictions2)。
1.2、LSMF网元根据LAN ID对应的服务区域信息选择UDM网元。
其中,LSMF网元选择的UDM网元可以为LAN ID对应的服务区域内的所有UDM网元。
2、LSMF网元向选择的UDM网元发送配置参数1(Configure1),其中携带LAN ID、UE ID、service area、restrictions1和restrictions2。
A:对于群组中已注册的UE,可采用如下方法更新该UE的LAN信息
3A、针对Group中已注册的UE,UDM网元向为UE服务的AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知(notification),其中携带LAN ID、UE ID、service area、restrictions1和restrictions2。
4A、为UE服务的AMF网元根据UE ID确定UE的注册区域信息,根据UE的注册区域信息、 service area、LAN ID、restrictions1和restrictions2,确定该UE的LAN信息。
5A、AMF网元通过UE配置更新流程中的UE配置更新指令(UE Configuration Update Command),把LAN信息配置到UE。
其中,UE配置更新指令可视为第二配置更新消息的一个具体示例。
B:对于群组中未注册的UE,可采用如下方法更新该UE的LAN信息
3B、UE发送注册请求(registration request)消息给AMF网元,其中携带UE ID。
4B、AMF网元发送签约数据请求(携带UE ID)给UDM网元,UDM网元返回签约数据响应消息;如果UE签约了此LAN服务,AMF网元获取的签约数据响应消息中携带UE的签约LAN ID、service area、restrictions1和restrictions2;AMF网元根据注册流程中为UE动态生成的注册区域信息、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息、LAN ID、restrictions1和restrictions2,确定UE的LAN信息。
5B、AMF网元通过注册响应(registration response)消息,把LAN信息配置到UE。
C:在会话流程中配置UE的LAN信息
3C、UE发送非接入层消息(NAS Message)给AMF网元,该NASMessage中携带会话ID(Session ID)、LAN ID和PDU会话管理请求;其中PDU会话管理请求可以是会话创建请求、会话修改请求或会话释放请求。
4C、AMF网元发送签约数据请求(携带UE ID和LAN ID)给UDM网元,UDM网元返回签约数据响应消息,其中可携带service area、restrictions1和restrictions2;AMF网元根据LAN ID、在本地上下文中查找到的UE的注册区域信息、service area、restrictions1和restrictions2,确定LAN信息。
此外,AMF网元可按照现有的会话流程,请求SMF网元处理该会话管理请求。
5C、AMF网元发送非接入层消息(NAS Message)给UE,该NASmessage中携带会话ID(Session ID)、LAN信息和PDU会话管理响应,从而把LAN信息配置到UE。
其中,PDU会话管理响应可从SMF网元获取。
6、UE获取LAN信息之后,可以把其中的LAN ID当做LADN DNN,复用LADN类似机制限制UE的LAN会话,从而限制UE使用5GLAN服务。
同样地,AMF网元和SMF网元也可把该LAN ID当做LADN DNN,使用LADN类似机制处理UE的LAN会话。
其中,UE的LAN信息中还可包括restrictions1和restrictions2,作为UE或者网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)处理LAN会话时参考的信息。
实施例D
在实施例D中,LSMF网元未向UDM网元发送配置参数,而是将终端的LAN签约信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息等信息均保存在本地,然后LSMF网元可直接将这些信息发送给AMF网元,或者基于AMF网元的请求将这些信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息使用。
结合以上对图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法的介绍,若采用实施例D的方案,则图4所示的局域网通信的管理方法可以如图11所示。图11中,该方法包括如下步骤。
S1101:LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信 息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S1101一并获取。
其中,S1101中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式与S401中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式相同(通过群组管理请求获取),重复之处此处不再赘述。
S1102:AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
此外,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,AMF网元在S1102中也可获取这些限制信息,以供确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
S1103:AMF网元根据终端的注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息。
S1104:AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息。
其中,终端的LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息。
此外,若AMF网元在S1102中还获取到终端的限制信息或LAN ID对应的限制信息,终端的LAN信息还可包括这些限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时,还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S1105:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
在S1105中,终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式与S406中终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理的具体方式相同,重复之处不再赘述。
此外,网络中的其他网元也可根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理,其具体实现方式在图4所示方法中也有描述,此处不再赘述。
需要注意的是,在实施例D的步骤S1102中,AMF网元可基于与LSMF网元的不同的交互流程来获取终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
例如,对于已经在网络中注册的终端,LSMF网元可直接通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定LAN信息。
例如,对于未在网络中注册的终端,LSMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,将终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定LAN信息。
例如,LSMF还可在终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,将终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元,以供AMF网元确定LAN信息。
此外,由于终端的注册区域信息由AMF网元生成并保存,因而S1102中AMF网元获取的终端的注册区域信息可来自本地。
下面结合附图说明步骤S1102中AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的三种具体实现方式。
方式一
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,若LSMF网元接收到群组创建请求或群组更新请求,会向AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知。AMF网元可在接收到该终端的签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含该终端的LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化)的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过配置更新消息将终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息对终端的 局域网通信进行管理。
具体地,采用方式一时,S1102中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第二签约数据更新通知,第二签约数据更新通知包括LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID;AMF根据第二签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第二签约数据更新通知携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元向终端发送第二配置更新消息,第二配置更新消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式一中,对于已经在网络中注册的终端来说,AMF网元中保存有该终端的上下文,AMF网元在接收到第二签约数据更新通知后,可通过查找上下文获取第二签约数据更新通知中携带的终端的ID所对应的注册区域信息,即该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第二签约数据更新通知中携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已从LSMF网元获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
也就是说,在方式一中,LSMF确定终端已在网络中注册,则LSMF网元可直接通过第二签约数据更新通知将LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID发送给AMF网元,以便AMF网元可根据LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的ID确定已注册终端的LAN信息,并将LAN信息发送给终端,使得已注册终端可基于该终端的LAN信息进行局域网通信。
此外,AMF网元接收到的第二签约数据更新通知中还可包括LAN ID对应的限制信息或该终端的限制信息。
方式二
AMF网元可在该终端发起注册请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,即向LSMF网元请求LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息等信息,并根据LSMF网元返回的信息确定该终端的LAN信息,然后通过注册响应消息将该终端的LAN信息发送给该终端,使得该终端在完成注册流程后即可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式二时,S1102中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第二注册请求消息,第二注册请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元向LSMF网元发送第二签约数据请求消息,第二签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID;AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第二签约数据响应消息,第二签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元生成终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第二签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
具体地,在AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求之前,AMF网元可接收终端发送的第二注册请求消息,该第二注册请求消息中携带终端的ID。此外,AMF网元可以从该第二注册请求消息获取终端的LAN指示信息或者AMF网元也可以从UDM网元获取终端的LAN签约信息,其中,该LAN指示信息或LAN签约信息用于指示该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务。
示例性地,LAN指示信息可以为LAN ID。当终端向AMF网元发送的第二注册请求消息中携带该LAN ID时,该LAN ID用于指示该终端需要使用此LAN ID对应的LAN服务。或者LAN 指示信息或LAN签约信息是一个二进制指示,用于指示该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务。
AMF网元在接收到第二注册请求消息中携带的LAN指示信息或者UDM网元发送的终端的LAN签约信息的情况下,确定该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务,以使AMF网元向LSMF网元请求获取终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体实现方式可以是:AMF网元向终端发送第二注册响应消息,第二注册响应消息包括终端的LAN信息。
在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第二注册请求消息后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。在终端的注册流程中,AMF网元会动态生成请求进行注册的终端的注册区域信息,因而在方式二中,AMF网元在接收到第二签约数据响应消息后,即可生成该终端的注册区域信息。此外,第二签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID,即表示LSMF网元将请求进行注册的终端加入该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组中。由于在创建该LAN群组时,LSMF网元已经获取到该LAN群组的LAN ID以及该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,因而LSMF网元可通过第二签约数据响应消息将LAN ID对应的服务区域信息发送给AMF网元。至此,AMF网元已获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
可选地,AMF网元接收到的第二签约数据响应消息中还包括LAN ID对应的限制信息和该终端的限制信息。
方式三
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF网元还可在该终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信息,并根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,采用方式三时,S1102中,AMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元接收终端发送的第三PDU会话管理请求,第三PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID;AMF网元向LSMF网元发送第七签约数据请求消息,第七签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第七签约数据响应消息,第七签约数据响应消息中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息;AMF网元从终端的上下文中,获取终端的注册区域信息;AMF网元获取第三PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,并获取第七签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。
然后,AMF网元向终端发送终端的LAN信息,具体可通过如下方式实现:AMF网元向终端发送第三PDU会话管理响应,第三PDU会话管理响应包括终端的LAN信息。
其中,第三PDU会话管理请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求或PDU会话释放请求;相应地,第三PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或PDU会话释放响应。
方式三中,AMF网元在接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,触发确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。其中,已注册终端已经与AMF网元建立单独的信令连接,因而AMF网元在该AMF网元与该终端间的专用信道上接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,即可获知该终端的ID,进而可根据该终端注册时保存的上下文信息确定该终端的注册区域信息。此外,AMF网元还可获取第三PDU会话管理请求中携带的LAN ID,获取第七签约数据响应消息中携带的LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。至此,AMF网元已获取获取到生成LAN信息所需的LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服 务区域信息以及终端的注册区域信息。
其中,终端向AMF网元发送的第三PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID,其具体含义可以是:终端希望与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,终端可向AMF网元发送第三PDU会话管理请求,AMF网元接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后触发确定该终端的LAN信息的过程。AMF网元对该第三PDU会话管理请求进行响应后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信。
需要说明的是,AMF网元在接收到第三PDU会话管理请求后,会通过与SMF网元的交互进行PDU会话处理,然后再向终端发送第三PDU会话管理响应。由于PDU会话处理流程为现有技术,因此本申请实施例中不再详细描述。
此外,在方式三中,AMF网元向LSMF网元发送的第七签约数据请求消息不仅可用于请求获取LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,还可用于对终端进行鉴权。
即,在AMF网元接收终端发送的第三PDU会话管理请求之后,AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送第七签约数据请求消息,第七签约数据请求消息中携带终端的ID以及LAN ID;然后,AMF网元接收LSMF网元发送的第七签约数据响应消息,其中携带LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。AMF网元在接收到第七签约数据响应消息之后,即表示该终端可以与该LAN群组中的终端进行局域网通信,此时可触发AMF网元执行确定该终端的LAN信息的操作。
可选地,在方式三中,AMF网元接收到的第七签约数据响应消息中还可携带LAN ID对应的限制信息或该终端的限制信息,以便AMF网元确定该终端的LAN信息时使用。
需要说明的是,上述三种方式可以针对不同的终端单独使用(即每个终端仅采用上述三种方式中的一种来实现LAN信息确认和接收),也可针对同一终端使用上述三种方式的任意几种。例如,在某终端发起注册请求时使用方式二确定该终端的LAN信息,在该终端所属的LAN群组更新后,可通过方式一确定该终端更新后的LAN信息。此外,在该终端终端发起PDU会话管理请求时,AMF也可再次确认该终端的LAN信息,并将确认后的LAN信息发送给终端,以便能及时更新该终端的LAN信息。
从上述关于实施例D的介绍可以看出,实施例C与实施例D的不同之处在于,实施例C中,LSMF网元将确定终端的LAN信息所需的信息(第二配置参数)发送给UDM网元,并由UDM网元直接或基于AMF网元的请求进行转发。而在实施例D中,LSMF网元并未向UDM网元发送第二配置参数,而是由LSMF网元直接或基于AMF网元的请求来向AMF网元发送确定终端的LAN信息所需的信息(LAN ID、LAN ID对应的服务区域信息等)。因而采用实施例D提供的方案,可以减小UDM网元的负荷。在实际应用中,可以针对不同的场景选择执行实施例A、实施例B、实施例C或实施例D所提供的方案。
以上是对实施例D的介绍。基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例还提供一种局域网通信的管理方法,该方法可视为图11所示方法的一个具体示例。参见图12,该方法包括如下步骤。
1、LSMF网元从NEF网元/AF网元接收群组(Group)创建/更新消息,获取到局域网标识(LAN ID)、该LAN ID对应的服务区域信息(servicearea)、该局域网群组中的UE ID、UE的限制信息(restrictions1)以及该LAN ID对应的限制信息(restrictions2)。
A:对于群组中已注册的UE,可采用如下方法更新该UE的LAN信息(相当于方式一)
2A、针对Group中已注册的UE,LSMF网元向为UE服务的AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知(notification),其中携带LAN ID、UE ID、service area、restrictions1和restrictions2。
3A、为UE服务的AMF网元根据UE ID确定UE的注册区域信息,根据UE的注册区域信息、 service area、LAN ID、restrictions1和restrictions2,确定该UE的LAN信息。
4A、AMF网元通过UE配置更新流程中的UE配置更新指令(UE Configuration Update Command),把LAN信息配置到UE。
其中,UE配置更新指令可视为第二配置更新消息的一个具体示例。

实施例二
参见图13,本申请实施例提供的一种局域网通信的管理方法包括如下步骤:
S1301:LSMF网元获取终端的注册区域信息、终端的ID、终端的局域网标识LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息。其中,S1301中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式与S401中LSMF网元获取终端的ID、终端的LAN ID以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的具体实现方式相同(通过群组管理请求获取),重复之处此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,LSMF网元在S1301中获取的终端的ID为LAN ID所标识LAN群组的群组 成员的ID,该终端与用于向LSMF网元发送群组管理请求的指定终端没有必然联系。LSMF网元在接收到群组管理请求后,可以获取到一个终端列表(UE list),该列表中包含LAN ID所标识LAN群组中的所有终端的ID,AMF网元后续可在不同场景中确定该终端列表中的某个终端的LAN信息,S401中获取到的终端的ID所指示的终端即为后续需要确定其LAN信息的终端。
应注意,若该LAN ID所标识的LAN群组在创建/更新过程中还配置有LAN ID对应的限制信息以及终端的限制信息,LSMF网元也可以通过S1301一并获取。
此外,由于终端的注册区域信息由AMF网元生成并保存,因而S1301中LSMF网元获取的终端的注册区域信息可来自AMF网元,例如AMF网元通过向LSMF网元发送的LAN信息获取请求中可携带该终端的注册区域信息,相关内容将在后面关于LAN信息获取请求的描述中进行介绍,此处不再赘述。
S1302:LSMF网元根据注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息。
具体地,触发LSMF网元确定终端的LAN信息的条件可以是AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求,以请求获取该终端的LAN信息。也就是说,在LSMF网元根据终端的注册区域信息以及LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,确定终端的LAN通信区域信息之前,LSMF网元可接收AMF网元发送的LAN信息获取请求,该LAN信息获取请求用于请求获取终端的LAN信息,LAN信息获取请求中携带LAN ID、终端的ID以及终端的注册区域信息。LSMF网元向AMF网元发送终端的LAN信息,其具体实现方式可以是:LSMF网元向AMF网元发送LAN信息获取响应,LAN信息获取响应中携带终端的LAN信息。
这里,需要注意的是,由于终端的注册区域信息由AMF网元生成并保存,而LSMF网元确定终端的LAN信息时需要根据终端的注册区域信息确定,因此,AMF网元向LSMF网元发送的LAN信息获取请求中,需携带终端的注册区域信息。
其中,触发AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求的条件有多个。下面举例说明触发AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求的三种情形。
情形一
LSMF网元向AMF网元发送签约数据更新通知,且该签约数据更新通知中包含已注册终端的LAN ID(即针对该终端在该LAN群组中的局域网通信的签约数据发生变化),那么,AMF网元需要更新该终端的LAN信息,此时AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求,以请求获取该终端的LAN信息。
具体地,在AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求之前,AMF网元可接收LSMF网元发送的签约数据更新通知,签约数据更新通知包括LAN ID以及终端的ID;AMF网元确定终端已在LAN ID对应的群组中注册。然后,AMF网元向终端发送配置更新消息,配置更新消息中携带终端的LAN信息。
在情形一中,终端的签约数据发生更新后,LSMF网元会通过签约数据更新通知来通知AMF网元,此时AMF网元向LSMF网元请求获取该终端的LAN信息,可以及时更新该终端的LAN信息,使得终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)可根据更新后的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
情形二
AMF网元接收到未注册终端发送的注册请求消息,此时AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送LAN 信息获取请求,以请求获取该终端的LAN信息,从而使得终端在完成注册流程后可根据LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,在AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求之前,AMF网元可接收终端发送的注册请求消息,该注册请求消息中还携带终端的ID。AMF网元可以从注册请求消息获取终端的LAN指示信息或者AMF网元也可以从UDM网元获取终端的LAN签约信息,其中,该LAN指示信息或LAN签约信息用于指示该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务。
示例性地,LAN指示信息可以为LAN ID。当终端向AMF网元发送的注册请求消息中携带该LAN ID时,该LAN ID用于指示该终端需要使用此LAN ID对应的LAN服务。LAN指示信息或LAN签约信息是一个二进制指示,用于指示该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务。
AMF网元在接收到注册请求消息中携带的LAN指示信息或者UDM发送的终端的LAN签约信息的情况下,确定该终端需要使用所述LAN ID指示的LAN服务。AMF网元可向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求,以获取该终端的LAN信息,从而使得该终端的注册流程完成后,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)即可根据LAN信息对该终端进行局域网通信的管理。
情形三
对于已经在网络中注册的终端,AMF还可在该终端发起PDU会话管理请求的情况下向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求,以请求获取该终端的LAN信息,并通过PDU会话管理响应将该终端的LAN信息发送给终端,从而使得终端能及时更新LAN信。进而根据最新的LAN信息进行局域网通信的管理。
具体地,在AMF网元向LSMF网元发送LAN信息获取请求之前,AMF网元可接收终端发送的PDU会话管理请求,PDU会话管理请求中携带LAN ID;AMF网元根据PDU会话管理请求确定终端的ID。然后,AMF网元向终端发送PDU会话管理响应消息,PDU会话管理响应消息中携带终端的LAN信息。
其中,PDU会话管理请求可以是PDU会话建立请求、PDU会话修改请求或PDU会话释放请求;相应地,PDU会话管理响应可以是PDU会话建立响应、PDU会话修改响应或PDU会话释放响应。
在情形三中,终端发起PDU会话管理请求后,AMF网元向LSMF网元请求获取该终端的LAN信息,从而及时更新该终端的LAN信息,使得终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)可根据更新后的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理。
S1303:LSMF网元向AMF网元发送终端的LAN信息。
其中,终端的LAN信息包括LAN ID以及终端的LAN通信区域信息。
具体地,终端的LAN通信区域信息可视为终端的注册区域信息与LAN ID对应的服务区域信息的交集。即,终端的LAN通信区域可视为终端的注册区域与LAN ID对应的服务区域的交叉区域。如果终端的限制信息中包括允许通信区域信息,则终端的LAN通信区域信息可视为LAN ID对应的服务区域信息,终端的注册区域信息和终端的允许通信区域信息三者的交集。即,终端的LAN通信区域可视为终端的注册区域,LAN ID对应的服务区域,终端的允许通信区域三者之间的交叉区域。
此外,若LSMF网元在S1301中还获取到LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息,则终端的LAN信息中还可包括LAN ID对应的限制信息和终端的限制信息,终端或网络(例如AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元或LSMF网元)根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理时, 还需考虑这些限制信息。具体方式可参照前面关于终端的LAN信息的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
S1304:AMF网元将终端的LAN信息发送给终端。
S1305:终端根据LAN信息对终端的LAN通信进行管理。
具体地,S1305中,终端根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理的方式与S406中终端根据终端的LAN信息对终端的局域网通信进行管理的方式相同,相关描述可参照前述实施例一,此处不再赘述。
从上述关于实施例二的介绍可以看出,与实施例一相比,实施例二中,LSMF网元并未将确定终端的LAN信息所需参数发送给UDM网元或AMF网元,在AMF网元在需要确定终端的LAN信息时,AMF网元将携带LAN ID、终端的ID和终端的注册区域信息这些参数的LAN信息获取请求发送给LSMF网元,由LSMF网元确定终端的LAN信息并发送给AMF网元。不难看出,采用实施例二提供的方案,会减小AMF网元和UDM网元的负荷、同时增加LSMF网元的负荷。在实际应用中,可以针对不同的场景选择执行实施例一或实施例二所提供的方案。
以上是对实施例二的介绍。基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例还提供一种局域网通信的管理方法,该方法可视为图13所示方法的一个具体示例。参见图14,该方法包括如下步骤。

5C、AMF网元向SMF网元发送SMContext管理请求(携带Session ID,LAN Information,PDU会话管理请求)消息。SMContext管理请求可以是SMContext创建请求、SMContext更新请求或SMContext释放请求;SMF网元处理LAN会话;SMF网元向AMF网元发送SMContext管理响应(携带Session ID,PDU会话管理响应(携带LAN信息))消息;SMContext管理响应可以是SMContext创建响应、SMContext更新响应或SMContext释放响应。AMF网元发送非接入层消息(NAS message)给UE,该NASmessage中携带会话ID(Session ID)、PDU会话管理响应(携带LAN信息),从而把UE的LAN信息配置到UE。
