Description

一种通信方法及相关设备
本申请要求于2020年06月12日提交中国国家知识产权局,申请号为202010535846.0,发明名称为“一种通信方法及相关设备”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
本申请涉及无线通信领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及相关设备。
背景技术
随着网络的发展,移动终端从单卡单待发展到多卡多待的实现模式,以双卡双待(dual simcard dual standby,DSDS)为例,DSDS移动终端的机身内具有两个用户身份标识模块(subscriber identity module,SIM)卡、或两个软SIM卡(虚拟SIM,对应软件形式的SIM信息)、或一个SIM卡内具有2份SIM信息,用户只需要使用一部DSDS移动终端,就可以方便快捷的操作该DSDS内的两张SIM卡。
在现有技术中,多卡多待终端内的不同SIM卡可以分别支持相同类型或者是不同类型的网络,例如公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN)、非公共网络(Non-Public Network,NPN)等,其中,NPN网络可以细分包括独立组网的NPN网络(standalone NPN,SNPN)和非独立组网的NPN网络(public network integrated NPN,PNI-NPN)两种类型,其中SNPN表示不依赖公网PLMN网络功能的网络,可以具有独立接入网和核心网,PNI-NPN(Public Network Integrated-NPN)表示可以部分依赖公网PLMN提供网络功能的网络。
现有多卡多待终端存在多张SIM卡的数据并发需求,意味着需要支持多种不同网络的数据业务同时并发,一般来说,可以将DSDS终端的射频通道分为主辅通道,主通道包含接收器(RX)和发射器(TX),辅通道仅有RX同于侦听。然而,如果在DSDS终端中,某一SIM卡发生TX抢占,即占用主通道时,其它SIM卡会释放资源,并进行搜网驻留,并进入空闲态(IDLE),无法实现高效的业务并发。

首先对本申请实施例中所涉及的网元进行介绍:

接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备:主要负责空口侧的无线资源管理、服务质量(quality of service,QoS)管理、数据压缩和加密等功能。所述接入网设备可以包括各种形式的基站,例如:宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如,在第五 代(5th generation,5G)系统中,称为gNB;在LTE系统中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或者eNodeB);在第三代(3rd generation,3G)系统中,称为节点B(Node B)等。
接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元:属于核心网网元,主要负责信令处理部分,例如:接入控制、移动性管理、附着与去附着以及网关选择等功能。AMF网元为终端设备中的会话提供服务的情况下,会为该会话提供控制面的存储资源,以及存储会话标识、与会话标识关联的SMF网元标识等。
不可信的非3GPP接入网(Untrusted non-3GPP Access Network)设备:该网元允许终端设备和3GPP核心网之间采用非3GPP技术互连互通,其中非3GPP技术例如:无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)、全球微波互联接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)网络等,相对于可信的非3GPP接入网设备可以直接接入3GPP核心网,该网元需要通过安全网关建立的安全隧道来与3GPP核心网互连互通,其中安全网关例如:演进型分组数据网关(evolved packet data gateway,ePDG)或者非3GPP互通功能(Non-3GPP inter working function,N3IWF)网元。
会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)网元:负责用户面网元选择,用户面网元重定向,因特网协议(internet protocol,IP)地址分配,承载的建立、修改和释放以及QoS控制。

本申请后续的实施例可以应用于LTE系统、5G系统或者是更高级的网络系统中,下面将以本申请应用于5G场景的示例进行说明。目前5G的第三代合作伙伴计划(the third  generation partnership project,3GPP)系统架构如图1所示,包含的网络功能和实体主要有:UE、(R)AN、UPF、数据网络(data network,DN)、AMF、SMF、PCF、AF、NSSF、AUSF和UDM。这些网络功能和实体的全称详见前述网元介绍部分。另外图中展示了网络功能实体之间的交互关系以及对应的接口,例如,UE和AMF之间可以通过N1接口进行交互,(R)AN与AMF之间可以通过N2接口进行交互,其他网络功能实体之间的交互接口(接口N3/N4/N5/N6...N22等)类似,此处不再赘述;其中,在5G系统中,图1中部分接口可以采用服务化接口(Nnssf/Nnef/Nnrf...等)的方式实现,具体如图2所示。另外大数据分析网元中的网络数据分析功能实体(network data analytics function,NWDAF)和其他网络功能可以通过服务化接口Nnwdaf进行交互。
在图1和图2所示网络架构中,UE、(R)AN、UPF和DN等一般被称为用户层网络功能实体,用户的数据流量可以通过UE和DN之间建立的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话(session)进行传输,传输会经过(R)AN和UPF这两个网络功能(实体);而其他的部分则被称为控制层网络功能和实体,主要负责认证和鉴权、注册管理、会话管理、移动性管理以及策略控制等功能,从而实现用户层流量可靠稳定的传输。另外,本申请后续实施例应用于5G场景时,可以进一步结合5G中的非3GPP(non-3GPP)系统进行实现,具体non-3GPP系统架构如图3所示,相对于3GPP的系统架构,新增网元非3GPP互连功能实体(non-3GPP interworking function,N3IWF)。
随着网络的发展,移动终端从单卡单待发展到多卡多待的实现模式,以双卡双待为例,DSDS移动终端的机身内具有两个SIM卡、或两个软SIM卡(虚拟SIM,对应软件形式的SIM信息)、或一个SIM卡内具有2份SIM信息,用户只需要使用一部DSDS移动终端,就可以方便快捷的操作该DSDS内的两张SIM卡。其中,SIM卡具体可以为通用用户识别模块(Universal Subscriber Identity Module,USIM)、IP多媒体业务识别模块(IP Multi Media Service Identity Module,ISIM),嵌入式SIM卡(embedded SIM,eSIM)或者是其它类型的SIM卡,本申请实施例及后续实施例中对此不做限定。
在现有技术中,多卡多待终端内的不同SIM卡可以分别支持相同类型或者是不同类型的网络,例如公共陆地移动网PLMN、非公共网络NPN等,目前5G R16版本中定义了两种私网类型:SNPN和PNI-NPN。其中,SNPN表示不依赖公网PLMN网络功能的网络,可以具有独立接入网(RAN)和核心网(core network,CN),PNI-NPN表示可以部分依赖公网PLMN提供网络功能的网络。另外,PNI-NPN目前也可以进一步细分为两种:(1)封闭访问组(closed access group,CAG),属于PNI-NPN网络的一种,该种类型的私网是公网PLMN网络的一部分,只是针对特定业务/用户提供服务;(2)切片(Slicing),这种类型的私网同样属于PNI-NPN网络的一种,利用5G定义的切片特性使用专门的切片为特定业务/用户提供服务。
现有多卡多待终端存在多张SIM卡的数据并发需求,意味着需要支持多种不同网络的数据业务同时并发。例如,在工业制造场景中,产线中的传感器、机器装置以及控制器不仅需要在工厂本地进行通讯,还需要传输部分数据到工厂外的云/数据中心中。如果工厂通讯采用私网部署,则工厂设备(传感器、机器装置以及控制)需要同时支持私网和公网数据业务并发。除了工业制造场景中的现实需求,不仅3GPP SA1中明确定义了的行业公私网 业务同时访问的基本需求,而且相关的法律法规也要求私网中的设备需要支持紧急呼叫(“支持紧急呼叫”属于公网业务的一种)。
上述公私网业务并发需求,意味着多卡多待终端需要支持至少两种不同网络的数据业务同时并发。除了3GPP R16私网课题中引入的相关技术之外,还包括语音技术涉及多网络业务。下面将对涉及多网络业务的相关技术进行介绍:
覆盖(Overlay),基本配置为一套射频,为R16中支持通过NPN隧道(NPN整体作为N3GPP接入网)的方式实现访问公网业务,适用范围包括双卡双待双通,协议复杂,UE处理资源消耗高,占用私网空口资源;
漫游(Roaming),基本配置为一套射频,为R17讨论NPN和PLMN采用类似漫游的方式实现,适用范围包括双卡/单卡单待单通,需要基于核心网控制面、用户面互通接口,部署难度高,占用私网资源;
同步支持GSM和LTE(Simultaneous GSM and LTE,SGLTE),基本配置为两套射频(3Rx/2Tx),支持LTE和GSM并发,能够同时进行语音和数据业务,终端拥有两套系带射频资源,其中一套使用支持LTE的多模芯片,另一套使用GSM芯片,适用范围包括单卡双待,成本高,功耗高;
同步支持语音和LTE(Simultaneous Voice and LTE,SVLTE),基本配置为两套射频(3Rx/2Tx),支持数据和语音业务同时进行,与SGLTE不同的是,这里语音业务可以支持GSM、CDMA、UMST等2G/3G网络,而不仅仅是GSM。终端也需要两套基带射频资源,适用范围包括单卡双待,成本高,功耗高;
电路域回落(circuit switched fallback,CSFB),基本配置为一套射频,支持4G网络进行数据业务,语音业务回落到2G/3G进行,适用范围包括单卡单待,针对移动和联通场景,不支持4G网络的数据业务和语音业务并发;
单待LTE(single radio LTE,SRLTE),基本配置为一套射频(2Rx/1Tx),支持4G网络进行数据业务,语音业务使用CDMA网络进行,与CSFB不同的是,这种方案会在LTE网络和CDMMA 1X网络同时待机,适用范围包括类单卡双待,针对电信场景,不支持4G网络的数据业务和语音业务并发:
双卡双通(dual SIM dual active,DSDA),基本配置为两套射频/外挂基带,双卡双通,支持4G网络数据和语音业务并发,适用范围包括双卡双待双通,成本高、功耗高;
DSDS,基本配置为一套射频(2Rx/1Tx),双卡双待单通,终端内不同的卡之间不能同时进行语音业务,RF资源双卡动态调度,周期性解寻呼,适用范围包括双卡双待单通,功耗成本低;
其中,具备两套射频模块的技术因为成本以及功耗高,可用性较低;而具备一套射频模块的OverLay和Roaming方案是3GPP私网课题中提出的新方案,但是缺点也比较明显:Overlay的方案协议复杂,UE处理资源消耗高,占用私网空口资源;Roaming方案中需要基于核心网控制面板、用户面互通接口,部署难度高,同样占用私网资源。
示例性的,在解决多网络业务并发的问题时,现有相关技术中,以DSDS终端为例,将DSDS终端的射频通道分为主辅通道,DSDS终端中的主通道包含接收器(RX)和发射器(TX), DSDS终端的辅通道仅有RX同于侦听。然而,如果在DSDS终端中,某一SIM卡发生TX抢占,即占用主通道时,其它SIM卡会释放资源,并进行搜网驻留,并进入空闲态(IDLE),无法实现高效的业务并发。
进一步地,如果终端中存在n卡m通时,即终端中包含有n张SIM卡以及m套射频设备时,其中,n大于m且m为大于0的整数(例如,三卡三待双通,四卡四待三通等终端)。为了实现该终端业务并发的通信需求,此时,该终端中存在某一射频通道需要满足至少两个SIM卡的通信,由于这一射频通道在同一时刻只能收发其中一个SIM卡的相关数据,当某一SIM卡发生射频通道抢占时,会导致使用该套射频资源的其它SIM卡释放资源,并进行搜网驻留,导致业务中断,从而无法实现该n卡m通中断的业务并发。
更进一步地,如果终端中存在n卡n通时,其中,n为大于1的整数,即在该终端中SIM卡的数目与射频通道的数目相同的情况下(例如,双卡双待双通、三卡三待三通,四卡四待四通等终端),运营商或者用户可以为不同SIM卡设置不同的优先级,例如,高优先级的SIM卡可以使用n套射频通道卡中至少两个,而低优先级的SIM卡仅可以使用n套射频通道中指定的其中一个,在这种情况下,高优先级的SIM卡有可能抢占低优先级的SIM卡的射频通道,导致该低优先级的SIM卡释放资源,并进行搜网驻留,导致该低优先级的SIM卡业务中断。此时,如果该低优先级的SIM卡需要执行紧急呼叫业务、或者是执行其它低时延要求的业务时,由于该低优先级的SIM卡所允许使用的射频通道被抢占,即由于该n卡n通终端无法实现业务并发,导致该终端无法满足用户需求,使得用户体验大大下降。
综上所述,现有解决多网络业务并发的问题的相关实现过程,受限于硬件能力,并不能实现高效的业务并发。
为此,本申请主要针对该问题提供一种基于UE粒度的空口资源管理方法(而不是基于SIM卡的),以实现高效的公私网业务的并发。
本申请主要适用于多网络间的业务并发,该多网络包括至少两个不同的网络,示例性地,至少两个不同的网络可以包括:
(1)公网和私网之间的业务并发,如图4-1和图4-2所示(特别地,如果NPN类型为PNI-NPN,则图中展示的PLMN网络网元和NPN网络网元可以相同);
(2)也适用于私网和私网之间业务并发;
(3)公网之间的业务并发。
具体地,图4-1中展示的是共享小区的场景,即私网用户和公网用户可以通过相同的小区接入各自的网络(如目前的CAG小区,私网和公网用户均可接入),针对手机多SIM卡的场景,即其中的一张卡可以接入私网,另外一张卡可以接入公网,但是使用的是相同的小区分别接入的。
图4-2展示的是共享载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)资源池的场景,一般情况下每个频点小区称为载波分量(component carrier,CC),不同网络之间可以共享不同载波分量CC构成的资源池,公网/私网UE可以选择独立/相同的主载波分量(primary component carrier,PCC),并使用资源池中不同载波分量CC (secondary component carrier,SCC)进行聚合,以提升带宽。另外基站可以动态添加/删除副载波小区。
具体在图4-1和图4-2所示的UE中,该UE为多卡多待终端,包括至少两个SIM卡(即第一SIM卡和第二SIM卡),显然,该UE还可以包括第三SIM卡、第四SIM卡,甚至更多的SIM卡,以支持多卡通信,此处不做限定。本申请中,根据UE中各SIM卡的当前不同的连接状态对应的场景,提供了适应性的解决方案,下面将分别介绍。
一、应用于UE中第一SIM卡已建立与网络侧的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接的场景
请参阅图5,本申请实施例中一种通信方法的一个实施例包括:
501、终端设备通过用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接向接入网设备发送请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息;
本实施例中,终端设备通过用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接向接入网设备发送请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息,相应的,接入网设备在步骤501中通过用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接接收来自终端设备请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息。
其中,本实施例及后续实施例中,该终端设备和接入网设备的具体实现可以参考前述网元介绍内容实现,具体可以为LTE系统、5G系统或者是更高级系统的终端设备和接入网设备,此处不做限定。
在一种具体的实现方式中,步骤501中的RRC连接可以是接入网设备按照标准流程预先建立用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接。其中,该终端设备可以为多卡多待终端,也就是说,该终端设备至少包括第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块,显然,该终端设备还可以进一步包括第三用户识别模块、第四用户识别模块或者是其它更多的用户识别模块,以支持多卡多待通信。示例性地,终端设备中的用户识别模块可以是SIM、USIM、ISIM、eSIM或者是其它类型的用户识别模块。其中,该多卡多待终端具体可以包括n卡m通,即该多卡多待终端中包含有n张SIM卡以及m套射频设备时,其中,n大于m且m为大于0的整数(例如,三卡三待双通,四卡四待三通等终端),或者,该多卡多待终端具体可以包括n卡n通,其中,n为大于1的整数,即在该终端中SIM卡的数目与射频通道的数目相同的情况下(例如,双卡双待双通、三卡三待三通,四卡四待四通等终端),此处不做限定。
具体地,在该终端设备中,第一用户识别模块对应于第一网络,第二用户识别模块对应于第二网络,也就是说,终端设备中第一用户识别模块根据RAN侧广播的网络信息(如果是公网广播PLMN ID/如果是CAG类型私网则广播PLMN ID+CAG ID/如果是SNPN类型私网则广播PLMN ID+NID)以及本地配置的网络选择优先级信息进行NET选择,确定出第一网络;其中,终端设备中第二用户识别模块确定出第二网络与确定出第一网络的过程类似,此处不再赘述。其中,该注册请求消息还可以承载有该第二网络的标识信息,具体来说,第二网络的标识信息可以包括PLMN ID、CAG ID、NID等标识信息。
此外,第一网络和第二网络可以是同一通信网络,或者是不同的通信网络,其中,该 通信网络可以包括公共陆地移动网PLMN、非公共网络NPN或者是其它任意类型的网络,此处不做限定。此时,步骤501的实现过程具体可以包括:该终端设备通过用于第一用户识别模块和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接向接入网设备发送该第二用户识别模块请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息。
在步骤501的具体实现过程中,该终端设备可以通过该RRC连接向该接入网设备发送该第一用户识别模块的标识信息和该第二用户识别模块的标识信息,使得该接入网设备可以确定该终端设备包含有该第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块。其中,该第一用户识别模块的标识信息和该第二用户识别模块的标识信息可以承载于步骤501之前,终端设备向该接入网设备发送的RRC上行消息(例如RRC建立请求(RRC Setup Request)消息、RRC重建请求(RRC Reestablishment Request)消息、上行数据传输(UL Information Transfer)消息等)中,或者承载于步骤501发送的注册请求消息所在的消息中,或者是终端设备向接入网设备发送的其它消息中,此处不做限定。此外,该RRC上行消息中,终端设备还可以针对该第二用户识别模块承载有上行原因(cause)值,即在该RRC上行消息中承载有第二用户识别模块对应的cause 2。
在步骤501的具体实现过程中,终端设备还可以进一步通过该RRC连接向该接入网设备发送第一指示,其中,该第一指示用于指示该RRC连接用于多个网络和该终端设备之间通信,具体该第一指示可以承载于步骤501之前,终端设备向该接入网设备发送的UL Information Transfer消息中,或者承载于步骤501发送的注册请求消息所在的消息中,或者是终端设备向接入网设备发送的其它消息中,此处不做限定;此后,该接入网设备该可以根据该终端设备发送的第一指示修改该RRC连接的类型为多个网络共用,进一步地,该接入网设备还可以向该终端设备发送用于指示该RRC连接的类型为该多个网络共用的第一下行RRC消息,即接入网设备可以通过该第一指示修改该RRC连接的类型为多个网络公用,从而在步骤501中,接入网设备通过类型为多个网络共用的RRC连接接收来自终端设备请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息。具体地,该终端设备中可以包括多个(至少两个)用户识别模块,在第一指示具体可以指示终端设备的多个用户识别模块中指定部分用户标识模块共用的RRC连接,此时,可以通过前述携带的第一用户识别模块的标识信息和该第二用户识别模块的标识信息进行标识;也可以指示终端设备的多个用户识别模块中所有用户身份标识共用的RRC连接,此时,可以通过第一用户识别模块的标识信息和该第二用户识别模块的标识信息以及可能存在的其它用户识别模块的标识信息进行标识,此处不做限定。
此外,当接入网设备接收来自终端设备的第一指示之后,该接入网设备可以确定该RRC连接用于多个网络和该终端设备之间通信,此后,接入网设备可以根据第一用户识别模块的标识信息和该第二用户识别模块的标识信息关联两个用户识别模块对应的上下文,使得后续针对第一用户识别模块和该第二用户识别模块的信令的处理过程中,接入网设备可以使用相同的信令无线承载(signaling radio bearer,SRB)承载或者不同的SRB承载。
在步骤501之前,该终端设备还可以根据第一用户识别模块所驻留的小区和第二用户识别模块所驻留的小区设定触发条件,其中,该第一用户识别模块驻留在目标小区,该接 入网设备的服务区域包括该目标小区;其中,在该终端设备确定该第二用户识别模块驻留在该目标小区时,即在终端设备确定第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块驻留在同一个小区时,此时,该终端设备确定第二用户识别模块可以通过该第一用户识别模块与该接入网设备之间的RRC连接进行通信,随后,该终端设备触发执行步骤501,即触发执行通过用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接向接入网设备发送请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息。从而,提升该终端设备中第二用户识别模块通过该接入网设备注册的成功率,进一步提升通信效率。具体地,终端设备可以通过接收来自接入网设备的系统消息(例如主系统信息块(mater information block,MIB)、系统信息块(system information block,SIB)、或者是其它信息块)中的广播的小区ID等信息确定出第一用户识别模块所驻留的小区ID和第二用户识别模块的小区ID,如果第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块选择的小区ID相同,则确定两者所驻留的小区相同,否则,则确定两者所驻留的小区不同。
502、接入网设备向所述第二网络的核心网设备发送所述注册请求消息;
本实施例中,接入网设备向所述第二网络的核心网设备发送所述注册请求消息,相应的,第二网络的核心网设备在步骤502中接收来自该接入网设备的注册请求消息。
具体地,接入网设备在步骤501中确定出第二网络的标识信息,并根据该第二网络的标识信息向第二网络的核心网设备发送该注册请求消息,即向该核心网设备发送该终端设备请求在第二网络注册的注册请求消息。
503、核心网设备向接入网设备发送注册响应消息;
本实施例中,在核心网设备确定该终端设备注册至该第二网络时,该核心网设备向接入网设备发送注册响应消息,相应的,接入网设备在步骤503中接收来自核心网设备的注册响应消息。
在一种具体的实现方式中,该终端设备可以为多卡多待终端,其中,该终端设备至少包括第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块,且第一用户识别模块对应于第一网络,第二用户识别模块对应于第二网络,该接入网设备在步骤501中通过该RRC连接接收来自该终端设备的第一用户识别模块的标识信息和第二用户识别模块的标识信息之后,该接入网设备可以确定该终端设备包含有该第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块;从而,在步骤503之后,即接入网设备接收来自该核心网设备的注册响应消息之后,此时,接入网设备可以确定该终端设备注册至该第二网络,进一步地,该接入网设备可以将该第一用户识别模块的标识信息对应的上下文与该第二用户识别模块的标识信息对应的上下文关联,即接入网设备将该RRC连接、该第一用户识别模块的标识信息对应的上下文、该第二用户识别模块的标识信息对应的上下文进行关联,使得该终端设备的第一用户识别模块和第二用户识别模块均通过该RRC连接实现通信,实现多卡多待的终端设备的业务并发。
在步骤503之后,即在该接入网设备通过该RRC连接向该终端设备发送该注册响应消息之后,该接入网设备可以确定该终端设备注册至该第二网络,此时,该接入网设备可以建立与该终端设备之间该第一用户识别模块和该第二用户识别模块共用的接入层AS安全配置其中,该AS安全配置是共用的AS安全配置,避免AS安全配置泄露的风险,提升该终 端设备通信的安全性。此外,在步骤501中,如果在接入网设备建立用于第一网络和终端设备之间通信的RRC连接的过程中,该接入网设备已经完成建立与该终端设备中第一用户识别模块的接入层AS安全配置的情况下,在该接入网设备接收到来自该核心网设备的注册响应消息之后,该接入网设备可以重新建立与该终端设备之间该第一用户识别模块和该第二用户识别模块共用的接入层AS安全配置。具体地,传统的AS安全是基于用户识别模块的不同而单独建立的,即不同的用户识别模块会建立不同的AS安全,如果第二用户识别模块使用第一用户识别模块建立的AS上下文进行通讯时,第二用户识别模块可以获取第一用户识别模块的AS上下文,相对来说,第一用户识别模块的AS层安全性就降低了;故,此处建立的共用的AS安全针对多个用户识别模块共同建立的,从而避免了AS安全配置泄露的风险,在一定程度上可以提升该终端设备通信的安全性。
此外,在步骤503之后,即该接入网设备可以确定该终端设备注册至该第二网络之后,接入网设备可以通过该RRC连接建立第二网络与该终端设备的NAS安全流程。
在步骤503之后,即在该接入网设备通过该RRC连接向该终端设备发送该注册响应消息之后,该接入网设备可以确定该终端设备注册至该第二网络,此时,该接入网设备建立与该核心网设备之间关于该第二用户识别模块的第二非接入层NAS数据链路,并且后续该终端设备与第二网络的核心网设备之间的NAS数据可以通过该NAS数据链路进行传输,具体来说:在该接入网设备根据该第二NAS数据链路接收到来自该核心网设备的下行NAS消息时,该接入网设备通过该RRC连接向该第二用户识别模块发送该下行NAS消息;和/或,在该接入网设备通过该RRC连接接收到来自该终端设备的上行NAS消息时,该接入网设备通过该第二NAS数据链路向该核心网设备发送该上行NAS消息。提供该第二用户识别模块与第二网络的核心网设备通信的具体实现过程,提升方案的可实现性,从而提高了本方案的实现灵活性。示例性地,该第二NAS数据链路在LTE场景下可以包括S1应用协议(S1 Application Protocol,S1AP)数据链路,在5G场景下可以包括NG应用层协议(NG application protocol,NGAP)数据链路,还可以使用其它的数据链路实现,此处不做限定。

步骤11、UE根据Indication 3为USIM1和USIM2建立公共的AS安全;
步骤12、UE向shared-RAN发送Security Mode Complete;
在步骤10至步骤12中,主要用于建立UE和RAN的AS层安全,传统的建立AS安全是基于USIM1粒度的,但是在建立公共RRC连接的过程中,需要RAN侧携带特殊指示,用于指示UE为USIM1和USIM2建立公共的AS安全;

在实施例二中,UE中的USIM1和USIM2卡复用一个RRC连接,同时需要建立共用的AS 层安全,相比于传统的AS安全是基于USIM的不同而单独建立的,即不同的USIM会建立不同的AS安全,如果USIM2使用USIM1建立的AS上下文进行通讯时,USIM2可以获取USIM1的AS上下文,相对来说,USIM1的AS层安全性就降低了;故,此处建立的共用的AS安全针对多个USIM共同建立的,从而避免了AS安全配置泄露的风险,在一定程度上可以提升该终端设备通信的安全性;此外,接入网设备(RAN)通过用于多个网络(CN)与终端设备(UE)之间通信的共用的RRC连接管理该终端设备的空口资源,使用复用RRC连接的方式实现终端设备的业务并发,提升通信效率。
