具体实施方式
为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等词语对相似内容进行区分。例如,第一PLMN和第二PLMN仅仅是为了区分不同的PLMN,并不对其先后顺序进行限定。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等词语并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等词语也并不限定一定不同。
需要说明的是,本申请中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,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,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
在通信网络中,终端设备要想获得网络提供的服务,就需要选择一个PLMN、驻留在一个合适的小区,并成功完成注册过程。其中,PLMN选择依据操作模式可以分为自动模式和手动两种方式。
自动模式:终端设备自动根据PLMN列表中各PLMN的优先级次序,从最高优先级的PLMN开始尝试,如果成功,则在该PLMN选择合适小区进行驻留。如果某个高优先级的PLMN选择失败,则终端设备尝试次优先级的PLMN,直到终端设备能成功注册到某个PLMN为止。
手动模式:终端设备会向用户呈现当前可用PLMN的列表(例如:按优先次序呈现)。用户根据呈现的PLMN的列表选择合适的PLMN接入。
在自动模式中,依据是否存在先验信息可以分为基于先验信息的PLMN选择和初始PLMN选择。
基于先验信息的PLMN选择,是指终端设备记录最近一次(例如:当前)注册的PLMN(Registered PLMN,RPLMN)。当该终端设备下一次开机或回到覆盖区时,以最高优先级选择RPLMN。如果RPLMN不可用,再按照初始选择的方法进行PLMN选择。
初始PLMN选择,是指中终端设备在没有先验信息的情况下,按照全球用户识别模块(Universal Subscriber Identity Module,USIM)中记录的各种PLMN及其优先级来选择PLMN。在一种可能的实现方式中,这些PLMN可以按照如下优先级由高到低排列(1)HPLMN;(2)等效HPLMN(Equivalent HPLMN,EHPLMN);(3)用户控制的PLMN(User Controlled  PLMN);(4)运营商控制的PLMN(Operator Controlled PLMN);(5)按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN;(6)其他PLMN。其中,用户控制的PLMN是指终端设备的用户可以根据偏好选择对应的PLMN。运营商控制的PLMN是在制作SIM时,运营商将与该运营商签署了漫游协议的其他运营商的PLMN存储到该终端设备SIM中,终端设备可以根据该存储的PLMN选择对应的PLMN接入。按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN可以是一个指示信息,用于指示终端设备按照服务质量的要求选择对应的PLMN,例如:选择参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP)不低于-110dBm的网络。若上述(1)~(5)的PLMN均无法接入,则终端设备可以选择其他可以接入的PLMN。
如果终端设备所在的区域存在多个可选的PLMN,但是终端设备在该多个可选的PLMN中的每一个PLMN的注册尝试都失败了,这些PLMN将被终端设备设置为被禁止访问的PLMN。例如:如果终端设备接收到PLMN不被允许“PLMN not allowed”的原因信息,终端设备会把该PLMN加入SIM里的禁止PLMN“forbidden PLMN”列表。
通常情况下,如果同一地区多个运营商间没有签订漫游协议,那么某个运营商的终端设备接入没有签订漫游协议的其他运营商的PLMN失败,则终端设备会将该失败的PLMN放入forbidden PLMN列表。如果该终端设备是自动选网模式,则终端设备后续不会再尝试接入该forbidden PLMN列表中的任一PLMN。如果后续用户手动尝试接入该PLMN,并且注册成功的话,终端设备会删除forbidden PLMN列表里这个PLMN。在自动选网模式或手动选网模式下,一旦forbidden PLMN列表生成,即使终端设备关机或者拔SIM卡,forbidden PLMN列表里的PLMN也不会自动删除。
请参阅图1,图1是本申请实施例适用的一种场景的示意图。当终端设备无法接入第二PLMN时(例如:第二PLMN发生故障),终端设备可以根据第一PLMN和第二PLMN之间的动态漫游协议接入第一PLMN。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第二PLMN为HPLMN,第一PLMN为拜访公用陆地移动网(Visited Land Mobile Network,VPLMN)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN与第二PLMN具有相同的移动国家码(Mobile Country Code,MCC),第一PLMN的移动网络码(Mobile Network Code,MNC)与第二PLMN的移动网络码不同。
在本申请的各实施例中,PLMN发生故障可以是指PLMN在终端设备所在区域的发生故障,并不一定指整个PLMN发生故障。
请参阅图2,图2是本申请实施例适用的5G网络的示意图。图2中的5G网络采用服务化的网络架构。本申请的实施例也可以采用其他5G网络架构,在此不做限定。
图2所示的5G网络架构包括:接入网(access network,AN)节点、以及多个网络功能(network function,NF)网元。其中,多个NF网元可以包括: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、网络切片选择功能(network slice selection function,NSSF)网元、统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)网元、网络仓库功能(network repository function,NRF)网元、网络开放功能(network exposure function,NEF)网元、数据存储功能网元(unified data repository,UDR)、网管网元等。另外,网络架构还可以 包括终端设备、数据网(data network,DN)节点、应用功能(application function,AF)网元等。
在本申请的实例例中,网管网元可以是操作维护管理(Operation Administration and Maintenance,OAM)系统。OAM系统可以通过NEF网元与其他NF网元通信。OAM系统也可以直接与其他NF网元通信,本申请实施例不做限定。

需要说明的是,在上述图2所示的网络架构中,仅仅是示例性说明整个网络架构中所包括的网元。在本申请实施例中,并不限定网络架构中所包括的网元,比如,在本申请实施例中,网络架构中可包括上述图2所示所有网元中的任一个网元或任多个网元。
其中,终端设备是一种具有无线通信功能的电子设备,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)。终端设备可以是用户设备(user equipment,UE)、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)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端设备、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等。
AN节点可以是向UE提供无线接入的设备,包括但不限于演进型Node B(evolved node B,简称eNB)、无线保真访问接入点(wireless-fidelity access point,简称WiFi AP)、全球微波互联接入基地站(worldwide interoperability for microwave access base station,简称WiMAX BS)、5G网络中的基站(例如,gNodeB,gNB)等。AN节点还可以为(radio access network,RAN)节点或者后续演进网络中的接入节点。
UPF网元可以对报文进行处理,例如:UPF可以执行用户数据转发、路由、数据统计、限速、统计上报等功能。
AMF网元可以进行移动网络中的移动性管理,如用户位置更新、用户注册网络、用户切换等。AMF网元可以通过N1接口接入UE的非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)信令(包括会话管理(session management,SM)信令),还可以通过N2接口接入RAN的信令,完成用户的注册流程和SM信令的转发以及移动性管理。AMF网元可以转发SMF网元与UE之间的消息。
SMF网元可以对移动网络中的会话进行管理,如会话建立、会话修改、会话释放等。
PCF网元可以管理用户策略,包括移动性相关策略、协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话相关策略,如服务质量(quality of service,QoS)策略、计费策略等。
NSSF网元用于选择网络切片(network slice)。网络切片是一个用于支持特定网络能力与网络特性的逻辑隔离的网络,可以端到端(end to end,E2E)的包括整个网络,也可以部分网络功能在多个网络切片中共享,是满足3GPP提出的第五代5G移动通信技术关于网络差异化需求的关键技术。通常,不同网络切片的网络特征并不相同,且要求网络切片之间相互隔离,互不影响。如增强实现(augmented reality,AR)或虚拟实现(virtual reality,VR)业务的网络切片要求大带宽、低时延;物联网(internet of things,IOT)业务的网络切片要求 支持海量终端接入,但带宽小,对时延没要求。
UDM网元负责管理用户的签约数据等信息,UDM网元可以向AMF、SMF等网元提供用户的签约数据。
UDR网元存储网络中结构化的数据,包括用户签约数据信息和用户策略。UDM可以从UDR读取终端签约数据,PCF可以从UDR读取用户策略信息。UDR也可以分成两个部分分别于UDM和PCF网元合并,而不独立部署。
NRF网元存储其他功能网元的注册信息,并根据这些注册信息提供网络功能网元之间互相查找发现的服务。
NEF网元负责网络对外开放服务和能力的授权和控制,位于运营商网络之外的AF网元可以通过NEF网元向网络提供网络数据,也可以通过NEF获得网络的对外开放的服务和数据。
DN用于向UE提供数据服务,可以为用户的PDU会话的访问目的地。DN可以是PDN网络,如因特网(internet)、IP多媒体业务(IP multi-media Service,IMS)等。
AF网元可以发送请求以影响SMF路由策略、以及负责在本地DN中选择和重新定位应用程序。AF主要对转发面行为进行动态策略/计费控制。这些业务需要动态策略和计费控制。AF传送PCF需要的动态会话信息,
在本申请的实施例中,第一PLMN和第二PLMN可以均采用图2所示的架构。当然第一PLMN和第二PLMN也可以采用其他网络架构,例如:演进分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core network,EPC)架构或者未来演进的系统架构,在此不做限定。
请参阅图3,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种漫游方法的示意图。该漫游方法包括:
301、终端设备获取第一PLMN的信息。
在本申请的实施例中,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间具有动态漫游协议。在一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间具有动态漫游协议,包括:若终端设备能够接入第二PLMN,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议去激活;若终端设备无法接入第二PLMN,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议激活。例如,第一PLMN可以是终端设备的VPLMN,第二PLMN可以是终端设备的HPLMN。
若终端设备能够接入第二PLMN,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议去激活可以是指第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间没有漫游协议,或者,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议不可用。
若终端设备无法接入第二PLMN,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议激活是指第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间存在漫游协议,或者,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议可用。
可以理解为:第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间具有临时的漫游协议,当终端设备能够接入第二PLMN时,该临时的漫游协议失效,当终端设备无法接入第二PLMN时,该临时的漫游协议生效。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间具有动态漫游协议,包括:若满足第一条件,该第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的漫游协议有效。该第一条件可以是第二PLMN发生故障,或者,终端设备无法接入第二PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,动态漫游协议也可以称为临时漫游协议,本申请并不做限定。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备可以获取多个第一PLMN的信息,例如:第一PLMN列表信息,该第一PLMN列表内包含多个第一PLMN信息。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备可以采用如下两种方式获取第一PLMN的信息。
方式一
在终端设备注册到第二PLMN的过程中,终端设备接收来自第二PLMN中的核心网网元的第一PLMN的信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该核心网网元是接入管理网元,当第一PLMN和第二PLMN采用5G网络架构时,接入管理网元可以是AMF网元;当第一PLMN和第二PLMN采用4G网络架构时,接入管理网元可以是移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)。在本申请的实施例中,以接入管理网元为AMF网元进行举例说明。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备选择该第二PLMN并向AMF网元发送注册请求消息后,AMF网元从UDM网元获取该终端设备的签约数据,该签约数据包括第一PLMN的信息。当终端设备成功注册到该第二PLMN后,AMF向终端设备发送注册接受消息。该注册接受消息包括第一PLMN的信息。在另一种可能的实现方式中,AMF网元还可以从第二PLMN中的其他网元,例如:PCF网元或者OAM网元,获取第一PLMN的信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN的信息包括第一PLMN的标识信息,例如:第一PLMN的标识identity(ID)。第一PLMN的信息还可以包括如下信息中的至少一种:允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的接入技术类型、允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的区域信息、终端设备接入述第一PLMN的条件、第一PLMN的优先级信息。其中,第一PLMN的优先级信息可以理解为,当终端设备依次尝试接入多个PLMN时,在这些多个PLMN中,终端设备接入第一PLMN的优先级或者终端设备接入第一PLMN的顺序。第一PLMN的优先级信息也可以称为第一PLMN在终端设备选网列表中的优先级,在此不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的接入技术类型包括第三代合作计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)接入技术,和/或,非3GPP(Non-3GPP)接入技术。
在一种可能的实现方式中,允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的区域信息可以包括跟踪区(Tracking Area,TA)标识。示例的,区域信息可以是在第二PLMN发生故障的区域内,第一PLMN中允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的区域信息。可以理解为,第一PLMN中允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的区域与第二PLMN发生故障的区域存在重叠区域,这样位于第二PLMN发生故障区域的终端设备可以在无需移动的前提下,该终端设备允许接入第一PLMN,提升终端设备的业务体验。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备接入述第一PLMN的条件可以包括:终端设备接收到第一PLMN发送的用于指示第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的动态漫游协议被激活的指示信息(条件一),和/或,对于每个优先级高于第一PLMN的PLMN,终端设备均无法接入(条件二)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN的优先级信息包括第一PLMN的优先级低于如下任意一个PLMN的优先级:第二PLMN的优先级、第二PLMN的PLMN(Equivalent PLMN,EPLMN)的优先级、用户控制的PLMN的优先级、运营商控制的PLMN的优先级。当终端设备尝试接入PLMN时,终端设备的选网顺序为:(1)第二PLMN、(2)第二PLMN 的等效PLMN、(3)用户控制的PLMN、(4)运营商控制的PLMN、(5)第一PLMN。即,当终端设备依次尝试接入(1)第二PLMN、(2)第二PLMN的等效PLMN、(3)用户控制的PLMN、(4)运营商控制的PLMN,但是均无法成功接入时,终端设备可以尝试接入第一PLMN。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一PLMN的优先级信息包括第一PLMN的优先级高于用户按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN的优先级,或者所述第一PLMN的优先级低于运营商控制的PLMN的优先级并且高于用户按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN的优先级。当终端设备无法接入运营商控制的PLMN时,终端设备可以尝试接入第一PLMN。如果无法接入第一PLMN,那么终端设备可以尝试接入户按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN。
方式二
在终端设备尝试接入第一PLMN的过程中,终端设备接收来自第一PLMN中的核心网网元的第一PLMN的信息。该核心网网元具体参见方式一中的描述。具体的,终端设备向第一PLMN中的AMF网元发送注册请求。AMF网元判断该第一PLMN与第二PLMN是否签署了动态漫游协议。若第一PLMN与第二PLMN没有签署动态漫游协议,或者,虽然一PLMN与第二PLMN签署了动态漫游协议,但是该动态漫游协议没有激活,AMF网元拒绝终端设备接入第一PLMN。AMF网元向终端设备发送注册拒绝消息。注册拒绝消息包括第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间的动态漫游协议未激活的指示信息。注册拒绝消息还可以包括第一PLMN的信息。第一PLMN的信息具体参见方式一中的描述。
302、终端设备存储第一PLMN的信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以将第一PLMN的信息存储到所述终端设备的PLMN选择列表中。终端设备的PLMN选择列表也可以称为终端设备的PLMN选网列表,或者,终端设备接入PLMN的优先级列表。位于该列表中的PLMN具备不同的优先级顺序,终端设备按照从高到低的优先级依次接入对应的PLMN网络。当然,终端设备也可以将第一PLMN的信息存储到终端设备的其他内容中,本申请实施例不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备的PLMN选择列表如表1所示:
表1
PLMN优先级 PLMN列表
1 HPLMN或者EHPLM
2 用户控制的PLMN
3 运营商控制的PLMN
4 动态漫游PLMN
5 按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN
6 其他PLMN
在表1中,PLMN的选网优先级按照从1到6的顺序来表示从高到低的顺序,位于顺序“1”的PLMN对应的选网优先级最高,位于顺序“6”的PLMN对应的的选网优先级最低。例如:HPLMN或者EHPLMN的优先级最高。用户控制的PLMN具有第二等级的优先级。进一步的,表1还可以包括该用户控制的PLMN对应的接入技术类型。运营商控制的PLMN具有第三等级的优先级。进一步的,表1还可以包括该运营商控制的PLMN对应的接入技术类型。动态漫游PLMN即指上述的第一PLMN。动态漫游PLMN具有第 四等级的优先级。当终端设备获取到第一PLMN的信息后,将该第一PLMN的信息储存到动态漫游PLMN中。按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN具有第五等级的优先级。按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN是指终端设备根据各PLMN的信号质量和/或接入技术类型选择满足质量要求的PLMN。
需要说明的是,第一PLMN的信息(即表1中的动态漫游PLMN)只有在UE获取第一PLMN的信息之后才会添加到表1中,可以理解为,表1中的动态漫游PLMN是终端设备根据接收到的动态漫游PLMN信息动态生成的。在UE获取第一PLMN的信息之前,终端设备的PLMN选择列表不包括第一PLMN的信息,即表1中不包含第一PLMN的信息,那么终端设备在选网过程中也不会考虑第一PLMN的信息。
在一种可能的方式中,上述表1中的内容可以存储到终端设备的用户识别模块(Subscriber Identity Module,SIM)中。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备采用自动选网的方式接入PLMN,则终端设备可以按照表1中的PLMN的优先级依次选择对应的PLMN接入。
303、若终端设备无法接入第二PLMN,终端设备根据第一PLMN的信息向第一PLMN发送接入请求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若第二PLMN发生故障导致终端设备无法接入第二PLMN,则第二PLMN会与第一PLMN签署动态漫游协议,或者,第二PLMN与第一PLMN之间的动态漫游协议被激活。终端设备可以尝试接入第一PLMN。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该接入请求可以是注册请求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若第一PLMN的信息包括允许终端设备接入第一PLMN的接入技术类型,则终端设备采用该类型的接入技术接入第一PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备可以采用如下两种方式向第一PLMN发送接入请求。
方式一
终端设备按照表1中各PLMN的优先级依次接入对应的PLMN。若对于每个优先级高于第一PLMN的PLMN,终端设备均无法接入,则终端设备向第一PLMN发送接入请求。具体的,对于HPLMN或者EHPLM、用户控制的PLMN以及运营商控制的PLMN,若终端设备均无法接入,终端设备向动态漫游PLMN发送接入请求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若有多个动态漫游PLMN,则多个动态漫游PLMN之间也可以设置优先级,终端设备可以按照各动态漫游PLMN的优先级选择对应的动态漫游PLMN接入。在另一种可能的实现方式中,若有多个动态漫游PLMN,终端设备可以按照各动态漫游PLMN在表1中的位置顺序或者随机选择对应的动态漫游PLMN接入。
方式二
在第二PLMN与第一PLMN签署动态漫游协议,或者第二PLMN与第一PLMN之间的动态漫游协议被激活后,第一PLMN向终端设备发送通知消息,该通知消息用于通知终端设备第一PLMN与所述第二PLMN之间的动态漫游协议被激活。在一种可能的实现方式中,该通知消息可以包括第一PLMN的信息。终端设备根据该通知消息向第一PLMN发送接入请求。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该通知消息可以是第一PLMN中的接入网设备发送的广播消息。
在本申请的实施例中,若终端设备无法接入第一PLMN,该终端设备不将该第一PLMN加入禁止(forbidden)接入的PLMN的列表。若第一PLMN包含多个PLMN,终端设备可以选择第一PLMN中的其他PLMN并尝试接入。这样可以避免终端设备在自动选网模式下无法选择到该第一PLMN。
在本申请的实施例中,终端设备获取第一PLMN的信息,其中,第一PLMN与第二PLMN之间具有动态漫游协议。若第二PLMN发送故障而导致终端设备无法接入第二PLMN,终端设备根据第一PLMN的信息向第一PLMN发送接入请求,从而可以减少终端设备业务等待时间,提升用户的业务体验。
下面以第一PLMN为VPLMN,第二PLMN为HPLMN,终端设备为UE为例,详细说明本申请实施例的漫游方法。
在图4所示的实施例中,有两个VPLMN,分别为VPLMN1和VPLMN2,其中,VPLMN1包括接入网设备(例如:RAN1)和接入管理网元(例如:AMF1),VPLMN2包括接入网设备(例如:RAN2)和(例如:AMF2)。当然,VPLMN1和VPLMN2也可以包括其他网元,在此不做限定。在本实施例中,UE根据来自VPLMN的注册拒绝消息获取动态漫游PLMN列表。具体的,该方法包括:
401、UE进行PLMN选择。
在一种可能的实现方式中,UE在自动选网模式下进行PLMN选择,UE可以按照HPLMN或者EHPLM、用户控制的PLMN以及运营商控制的PLMN的优先级顺序,依次选择对应的PLMN接入。对于HPLMN或者EHPLM、用户控制的PLMN以及运营商控制的PLMN,若UE均无法接入,但是当前网络中VPLMN1可以接入,则UE选择VPLMN1接入。以上选网顺序为仅为举例说明,本申请不做限制,UE还可以按照其他选网顺序选择接入VPLMN1,例如:UE可以直接选择VPLMN1接入。
402、UE通过VPLMN1中的RAN1向AMF1发送注册请求(registration request)消息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该注册请求消息包括如下信息中的至少一种:注册类型、UE的永久标识(例如:签约永久标识(Subscription Permanent Identifier,SUPI)、UE的临时标识、安全参数、请求的网络切片选择辅助信息(Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,NSSAI)、UE的5G核心网能力等等。
403、AMF1经RAN1向UE发送注册拒绝(registration reject)消息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,AMF1确定UE的HPLMN与VPLMN1签署了动态漫游协议,但是该动态漫游协议尚未激活,则AMF1拒绝UE接入VPLMN1。AMF1向UE发送注册拒绝消息。注册拒绝消息包括拒绝的原因信息,例如:该原因信息可以是VPLMN1与HPLMN之间的动态漫游协议未激活。进一步的,注册拒绝消息还可以包括VPLMN1的信息。VPLMN1的信息具体参见301中第一PLMN的信息的描述。
404、UE将VPLMN1的信息加入到动态漫游PLMN列表中。
在一种可能的实现方式中,UE在收到注册拒绝的消息后,根据该注册拒绝消息中的原因信息确定VPLMN1与HPLMN之间的动态漫游协议未激活。UE将VPLMN1的信息添加到PLMN选择列表中的动态漫游PLMN项。其中,VPLMN1的优先级低于运营商控制的PLMN的优先级并且高于用户按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN的优先级。
405、UE通过VPLMN2中的RAN2向AMF2发送注册请求消息。
由于UE无法接入VPLMN1,UE选择VPLMN2并尝试接入。
UE向AMF2发送注册请求消息的方式具体参见402的描述。
406、AMF2经RAN2向UE发送注册拒绝消息。
该注册拒绝消息与步骤403中的注册拒绝消息类似,具体参见403的描述。
407、UE将VPLMN2的信息加入到动态漫游PLMN列表中。
在本申请的实施例中,动态漫游PLMN列表可以是表1中,具有第四优先级的动态漫游PLMN的列表。
具体的,UE在收到注册拒绝的消息后,根据该注册拒绝消息中的原因信息确定VPLMN2与HPLMN之间的动态漫游协议未激活。UE将VPLMN2的信息添加到UE本地存储的PLMN选择列表。其中,VPLMN2的优先级低于运营商控制的PLMN的优先级并且高于用户按照服务质量要求选择的PLMN的优先级。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若VPLMN1和VPLMN2相互之间没有优先级,则将VPLMN1和VPLMN2的信息按照接收顺序存储在动态漫游PLMN列表中,如表2所示。若VPLMN1和VPLMN2相互之间有优先级,则按照优先级顺序将VPLMN1和VPLMN2的信息按照存储在动态漫游PLMN列表中。
表2
Figure PCTCN2019129816-appb-000001
在本申请的实施例中,虽然UE在VPLMN1和VPLMN2注册失败,但是UE不会将VPLMN1和VPLMN2加入禁止接入的PLMN的列表(forbidden PLMN list)。这是因为,一旦UE将VPLMN1和VPLMN2加入到禁止接入的PLMN的列表,则UE后续将不会尝试接入VPLMN1和VPLMN2。
通过上述401~407,UE实现了PLMN选择列表的更新。
408、HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议被激活。
若某一时刻,该HPLMN发生故障,导致UE无法正常接入HPLMN。此时,HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议被激活。
在一种可能的实现方式中,HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议可以由HPLMN发起激活。例如,当HPLMN发生故障,HPLMN的OAM系统可以向VPLMN2的OAM系统发送指示消息,用于指示激活HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议可以由VPLMN2发起激活。例如当VPLMN2获知HPLMN发生故障,VPLMN2的OAM系统决定激活HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议。
409、VPLMN2中的RAN2向UE发送通知消息。
具体的,RAN2在允许动态漫游的区域向UE发送广播消息。其中,允许动态漫游的区域指的是允许UE接入VPLMN2的区域,该区域可以用TA标识。例如:表2中的TA-3, TA-4。RAN2位于允许UE接入VPLMN2的区域内,可以理解为,RAN2属于TA-3或者TA-4。在一种可能的实现方式中,如果允许UE接入VPLMN2的区域内包含多个RAN,则多个RAN同时向UE发送广播消息。该广播消息包括HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议被激活的指示信息。该广播消息还可以包括VPLMN2的信息。VPLMN2的信息具体参见301中第一PLMN的信息的描述。
410、UE通过VPLMN2中的RAN2向AMF2发送注册请求消息。
UE接收到广播消息后,UE尝试接入动态漫游PLMN列表中的VPLMN2。
具体地,如果UE存储的VPLMN2的信息还包括UE接入的接入技术类型,那么UE选择对应的接入技术类型(如表2中的Non-3GPP接入)并接入VPLMN2。如果UE存储的VPLMN2的信息还包括UE接入的区域信息,那么UE接入VPLMN2之后,为了保证业务的正常进行,UE还可以选择不移出该区域范围内。
在该过程中,如果VPLMN2入网失败,UE不会将该VPLMN2放入禁止接入的PLMN的列表。UE可以继续尝试接入动态漫游的PLMN列表中的其他PLMN,例如VPLMN1。
在一种可能的实现方式中、UE成功注册到VPLMN2后。UE可以周期性尝试接入更高优先级的PLMN网络,例如HPLMN,这样UE可以再次回归到HPLMN网络,从动态漫游的网络中切换到归属网络,即实现动态漫游的去激活。
在图5所示的实施例中,有一个VPLMN2。VPLMN2包括接入网设备(例如:RAN2)和接入管理网元(例如:AMF2)。HPLMN包括UDM网元和接入管理网元(例如:AMF3),VPLMN2和HPLMN也可以包括其他网元,在此不做限定。在本实施例中,UE通过向HPLMN的注册过程获取动态漫游PLMN列表。具体的,该方法包括:
501、UE进行PLMN选择。
UE选择HPLMN进行接入
502、UE向HPLMN中的AMF3发送注册请求消息。
UE向HPLMN中的AMF3发送注册请求消息的方法与402中发送注册请求消息的方法类似,具体参见402的描述。
503、AMF3从UDM网元获取该UE的签约数据(subscription data)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该签约数据包括一个或者多个动态漫游的PLMN的信息,例如:VPLMN2的信息。动态漫游的PLMN的信息或者VPLMN2的信息具体参见301中第一PLMN的信息的描述或者407中表2的描述。
504、UE完成注册流程中的其他步骤,从而成功注册到HPLMN。
505、AMF3向UE发送注册接受消息。
该注册接受消息包括动态漫游的PLMN的信息,例如:VPLMN2的信息。具体参见301中第一PLMN的信息的描述或者407中表2的描述。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该注册接受消息还可以包括指示信息,该指示信息用于指示若UE接入动态漫游的PLMN失败,UE不要将该接入失败的动态漫游PLMN加入到禁止接入的PLMN的列表。
UE接收到注册接受消息后,将接收到动态漫游的PLMN的信息存储到自身动态漫游PLMN列表中。具体参见407的描述。
通过上述501~505,UE实现了PLMN选择列表的更新。
当UE正常接入HPLMN后,若该HPLMN发生故障,导致UE无法接入HPLMN。此时,HPLMN与VPLMN2之间的动态漫游协议被激活。具体参见408的描述。
506、VPLMN2中的RAN2向UE发送通知消息。
具体参见409的描述。
507、UE选择VPLMN2。
在一种可能的实现方式中,UE根据506中的通知消息选择VPLMN2进行接入。例如:根据通知消息中包括的VPLMN2的标识信息选择接入VPLMN2。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,VPLMN2也可以不向UE发送通知消息。UE根据PLMN选择列表(例如:表1)中PLMN的优先级依次选择对应的PLMN接入。对于优先级高于VPLMN2的PLMN,UE均无法接入,则UE选择接入VPLMN2。
508、UE通过VPLMN2中的RAN2向AMF2发送注册请求消息。
具体参见410的描述。
