如图3所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种策略提供系统30,该策略提供系统30包括第一拜访地网络的移动性管理网元301和第一拜访地网络的第一策略控制网元302。
其中,移动性管理网元301,用于向第一策略控制网元302发送用于创建终端策略关联的第一请求消息,所述第一请求消息中携带移动类型指示信息,所述移动类型指示信息包括用于指示所述终端执行了跨公共陆地移动网络移动、和用于指示所述终端执行了公共陆地移动网络内移动中的一个。或者说,所述移动类型指示信息用于指示所述终端执行了跨公共陆地移动网络移动,或者,所述指示信息用于指示所述终端执行了公共陆地移动网络内移动。所述第一策略控制网元302,用于接收来自移动性管理网元301的第一请求消息,根据其中携带的所述移动类型指示信息确定是否提供终端策略。本发明中的跨公共陆地移动网络移动、公共陆地移动网络内移动是指在5G系统中移动。
可选的,本申请实施例中,移动性管理网元301和第一策略控制网元302之间可以直接通信,也可以通过其他设备的转发进行通信,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
现有技术中,在执行完初始注册后,终端移动发生了移动性管理网元重选的流程。然而,在目前的移动性管理网元重选流程中,终端移动后重选的移动性管理网元所在的PLMN内的策略控制网元不能确定是否需要下发终端的策略。这里的移动性管理网元重选可以是终端从V-PLMN1移动到V-PLMN2(也可以叫做是跨PLMN移动)引起的移动性管理网元重选;也可以是终端在V-PLMN1内部移动(也可以叫做是V-PLMN内移动)引起的移动性管理网元重选;也可以是终端进行了跨系统移动引起的移动性管理网元重选,比如:从演进分组系统(Evolved Packet System,EPS)移动到第五代移动通信系统(5th generation wireless systems,5GS)。对于终端从V-PLMN1移动到V-PLMN2引起的移动性管理网元重选的场景中,移动性管理网元301和第一策略控制网元302是V-PLMN2中的。对于终端在V-PLMN1内部移动引起的移动性管理网元重选的场景中,移动性管理网元301和第一策略控制网元302是V-PLMN1中的。对于终端从EPS移动到5GS引起的移动性管理网元重选的场景中,移动性网元从EPS中的移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)重新选择变为5GS中的移动性管理网元。基于本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统,由于重选后的移动性管理网元将指示信息发给了终端移动后所在的拜访网络的策略控制网元,这样拜访地策略控制网元可以根据指示信息来确定是否发送终端策略。
可选的,如图3所示,本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统30还可以包括终端归属地的第二策略控制网元303。
在一种实现方式中,第一策略控制网元302,用于向第二策略控制网元303发送用于创建终端策略关联的第二请求消息,所述第二请求消息中不携带请求终端策略的指示。
第二策略控制网元303,用于接收来自第一策略控制网元302的第二请求消息,在确定第二请求消息中不携带请求终端策略的指示的情况下,所述第二策略控制网元303不提供 终端策略或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。其中,请求终端策略的指示可以是:初始注册指示,从演进的分组系统移动到第五代移动通信系统的注册指示,终端策略片段标识,操作系统标识,支持接入网发现和选择策略(Access Network Discovery and Selection,ANDSP)的指示,或,不支持ANDSP的指示中的任意一个。
在具体实现中,所述第二策略控制网元303不提供终端策略,或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略具体包括:若根据运营商的策略确定需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,则发送更新的归属地的终端策略;或,若根据运营商的策略确定不需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,所述第二策略控制网元不提供终端策略。其中,运营商策略比如可以为根据UE的位置或当前的时间更新终端策略。
在另一种实现方式中,第一策略控制网元302,用于向第二策略控制网元303发送用于创建终端策略关联的第二请求消息,所述第二请求消息中携带不需要发送终端策略的指示信息,在确定第二请求消息中携带不需要发送终端策略的指示信息的情况下,所述第二策略控制网元303不提供终端策略或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。其中,不需要发送终端策略的指示信息包括不需要发送终端策略指示、移动性管理网元重选指示、跨公共陆地移动网络移动指示或公共陆地移动网络移动指示中的至少一个。在具体实现中,所述第二策略控制网元303不提供终端策略,或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略具体包括:若根据运营商的策略确定需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,则发送更新的归属地的终端策略;或,若根据运营商的策略确定不需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,所述第二策略控制网元不提供终端策略。其中,运营商策略比如可以为根据UE的位置或当前的时间更新终端策略。
基于本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统,通过拜访地的第一策略控制网元向归属地的第二策略控制网元发送不携带请求终端策略的指示的第二请求消息,或发送携带不需要发送终端策略的指示信息的第二请求消息,使得归属地的第二策略控制网元也可以确定是否需要下发终端的策略或者仅根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。
或者,可选的,如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种策略提供系统40,该策略控制系统40包括终端401和终端第一拜访地网络的第一策略控制网元402。

可选的,本申请实施例中,终端401和第一拜访地的移动性管理网元,第一拜访地的移动性管理网元和第一策略控制网元402之间可以直接通信,也可以通过其他设备的转发进行通信,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
基于本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统,由于拜访地网络的第一策略控制网元接收到了用于指示网络提供终端策略的第一指示信息,这样第一策略控制网元可以根据该第一指示信息来确定是否发送终端策略。
在一种实现方式中,第一策略控制功能网元,用于接收来自移动性管理网元的第二指示信息和所述第一指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端进行了跨公共陆地移动网 络的移动、用于指示移动性管理网元进行了重选或用于指示所述终端需要拜访网络的终端策略。相应的,第一策略控制功能网元,用于根据该第二指示信息和第一指示信息确定向所述终端提供终端策略。第一指示信息具体可以为:需要终端策略指示、终端策略片段标识、支持接入网发现和选择策略的指示、不支持接入网发现和选择策略的指示、操作系统标识、或置为空的终端状态指示信息中的至少一个,本申请不做具体限定,只要可以指示网络提供终端策略就可以。其中,所述第二指示信息用于指示移动性管理网元进行了重选,或者说指示移动性管理网元进行重选,用英文表示可以是:AMF relocation。这里不做具体限定。
在一种实现方式中,该第一指示信息用于指示所述终端需要VPLMN的终端策略。则该实现方式中,第一策略控制功能网元,用于根据该第一指示信息就可以确定向所述终端提供终端策略。
可选的,如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统40还可以包括终端归属地的第二策略控制网元403。
在一种实现方式中,第一策略控制网元402,用于向第二策略控制网元403发送用于创建终端策略关联的第二请求消息,所述第二请求消息中不携带第四指示信息。
第二策略控制网元403,用于接收来自第一策略控制网元402的第二请求消息,在确定第二请求消息中不携带第四指示信息的情况下,所述第二策略控制网元403不提供终端策略或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。其中,第四指示信息可以是:初始注册指示,从演进的分组系统移动到第五代移动通信系统的注册指示,终端策略片段标识,操作系统标识,支持ANDSP的指示,不支持ANDSP的指示,或,置为空的终端状态指示信息中的任意一个。在另一种实现方式中,第一策略控制网元402,用于向第二策略控制网元403发送用于创建终端策略关联的第二请求消息,所述第二请求消息中携带第三指示信息,在确定第二请求消息中携带第三指示信息的情况下,所述第二策略控制网元403不提供终端策略或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。
在具体实现中,所述第二策略控制网元403不提供终端策略,或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略具体包括:若根据运营商的策略确定需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,则发送更新的归属地的终端策略;或,若根据运营商的策略确定不需要更新归属地的终端策略的内容,所述第二策略控制网元不提供终端策略。其中,运营商策略比如可以为根据UE的位置或当前的时间更新终端策略。
基于本申请实施例提供的策略控制系统,通过拜访地的第一策略控制网元向归属地的第二策略控制网元发送不携带第四指示信息的第二请求消息,或发送携带第三指示信息的第二请求消息,使得归属地的第二策略控制网元也可以确定是否需要下发终端的策略或者根据运营商的策略更新终端策略。
