  • periodic registration needs to be performed after entering the idle state, so that the network can know whether the terminal still needs to connect to the network. If the terminal does not periodically register in time, it will be implicitly deregistered by the network, thereby deleting the relevant information of the terminal (for example, the context information and session information of the terminal).

If implicit de-registration occurs, since the network side has deleted the relevant information of the terminal, if the terminal needs to restore the previous communication, the terminal needs to perform re-initial registration and re-establish the session, which will bring a lot of signaling and cause delay, thus affect the user experience.

Description

一种通信方法、装置及系统
本申请要求于2020年09月1日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202010914044.0、申请名称为“一种通信方法、装置及系统”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
对于通过第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)接入技术注册到网络的终端,在进入空闲态后需要执行周期注册,以使网络了解终端是否依然需要连接到网络。如果终端没有及时周期注册,则会被网络隐式去注册,从而删除该终端的相关信息(比如,终端的上下文信息以及会话信息)。
对于具有多全球用户识别(multiple universal subscriber identity module,MUSIM)卡的终端,终端可能选择离开其中一个卡对应的通信系统(下述简称当前系统),而进入另一个卡对应的通信系统。这种情况下,终端在当前系统进入空闲态,若没有及时返回当前系统,则可能会导致隐式去注册。若发生了隐式去注册,则由于网络侧已删除终端的相关信息,所以如果终端需要恢复之前的通信,则终端需要执行重新初始注册和重新建立会话将带来大量信令造成时延,从而影响用户体验。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法、装置及系统,用以便于具有多个全球用户识别卡的设备中的第一终端在离开第一系统后,不需要在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册,而在该周期注册定时器过期时即使终端未发起周期注册,其暂时也不会被网络侧隐式去注册。
为达到上述目的,本申请采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种通信方法,包括:第一系统中的接入和移动管理AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息。第一终端所在的设备具有多个全球用户识别卡,第一终端对应多个全球用户识别卡中的第一全球用户识别卡。第一系统为第一终端接入的系统。AMF网元根据第一信息向第一终端发送第一指示。该第一指示用于指示允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,该方法中第一终端利用第一信息和第一系统中AMF网元进行协商,在AMF网元允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,AMF网元可以利用第一指示向第一终端指示网络侧允许第一终端在第一系统中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样便于第一终端确定在第一系统中进入空闲态后可以不用在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册。此外,第一终端还可以确定在该周期注册定时器过期时即使第一终端未发起周期注册,其暂时也不会被网络侧隐式去注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态可以为:第一终端由于离开第一系统而导致该第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态可以为:第一终端未离开第一系统而导致该第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一指示指示允许所述第一终端因离开所述第一系统而进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样便于第一终端确定由于离开第一系统而导致地在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,因此可以不用在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:AMF网元根据第一信息确定允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一信息包括暂停周期注册指示。该暂停周期注册指示用于指示第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样可以显式指示AMF网元,该第一终端期望因为离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一信息包括用于指示第一终端将离开第一系统的第二指示。该方式以隐式指示方式向AMF网元指示该第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一系统中的接入和移动管理AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息,包括:AMF网元接收来自第一终端的消息X。该消息X用于表示第一终端即将离开第一系统。该消息X中携带第一信息。比如消息X可以为用于表示第一终端即将离开第一系统的上行NAS消息。该方案可以实现在第一终端即将离开第一系统时与AMF网元协商是否允许不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一信息用于指示第一终端即将离开第一系统,以及用于向AMF网元指示是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这时第一信息可以包括一个第一指示以及暂停周期注册指示。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一系统中的接入和移动管理AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息,包括:AMF网元接收来自第一终端的包括第一信息的第三消息。该第三消息用于请求在第一系统中注册第一终端。这样可以实现第一终端在第一系统中注册时便于网络侧协商是否允许第一终端离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不执行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:AMF网元确定不再允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。AMF网元向第一终端发送第三指示。第三指示不允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。以使得第一终端通过第三指示确定网络侧不再允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,从而可以使得第一终端接收到第三指示后判断是否需要在第一系统中进行周期注册以恢复与第一系统的连接。比如,AMF网元先通过第一指示允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。但是,在发送第一指示之后,第一系统中的核心网网元又存在数据需要发送给第一终端,那么AMF网元便可以向第一终端发送第三指示。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一系统为第一终端的第一全球用户识别卡通过第一类型接入的系统,第一系统中的接入和移动管理AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息,包括:AMF网元通过第二类型接入接收来自第一终端的第一信息。或者,AMF网元通过第一网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息。该方案可以实现第一终端离开第一系统之后,与AMF网元协商是否允许不进行周期注册的过程。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一系统为第一终端的第一全球用户识别卡通过第一类 型接入的系统,AMF网元根据第一信息向第一终端发送第一指示,包括:AMF网元通过第二类型接入或第一网元向第一终端发送第一指示。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元向第一终端发送第一时间值。该第一时间值用于指示第一终端在第一系统中隐式去注册的第一定时器时长。这样便于第一终端确定即使该第一终端在隐式去注册的第一定时器到期之前不进行周期注册,也不会被AMF网元隐式去注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:在第一终端在AMF网元中由连接态变为空闲态后,AMF网元跳过执行移动可达定时器的启动。即AMF网元不启动移动可达定时器。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:在第一终端在AMF网元中由连接态变为空闲态后,AMF网元启动隐式去注册定时器。该隐式去注册定时器的时长大于或等于第一时间值。这样可以保证第一终端在第一时间值之后还未被AMF网元隐式去注册,以使得第一终端在隐式去注册定时器的时长之前都可以快速恢复与第一系统的连接。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:在第一时刻,AMF网元启动计时器。该计时器用于记录第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态的时长,第一时刻为第一终端在AMF网元中的连接状态从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。上述时长大于或等于第二时间值的情况下,AMF网元在第一系统中对第一终端执行隐式去注册。该方案可以实现AMF网元统一对离网时长大于或等于第二时间值的多个终端(包括第一终端)统一执行隐式去注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态时,AMF网元向接入网络发送第一消息。该第一消息用于请求接入网络寻呼第一终端,以及在寻呼消息中指示AMF网元将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。该方案可以实现在第一终端未被隐式去注册之前,如果此时第一终端依旧未恢复与第一系统的通信,当AMF网元需要向第一终端发送数据,或者AMF网元准备提前隐式去注册终端(即在第一时间值到达之前)或者AMF网元未向第一终端发送第一时间值时,向第一终端告知AMF网元即将隐式去注册该第一终端,以便第一终端根据寻呼消息确定是否恢复与第一系统的连接。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态时,AMF网元通过第二类型接入或者第一网元向第一终端发送第二消息。该第二消息用于指示AMF网元将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第四消息或第五消息。该第四消息用于请求在第一系统中注册第一终端。第四消息中的注册类型为移动注册更新。该第五消息中的注册类型为初始注册,第五消息用于请求在第一系统中注册该第一终端。比如,第四消息和第五消息都可以为注册请求消息。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,包括:第一终端向第一系统中的接入和移动管理AMF网元发送第一信息。该第一信息用于AMF网元确定是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。第一终端所在的设备具有多个全球用户识别卡,第一终端对应多个全球用户识别卡中的第一全球用户识别卡,第一系统为第一终端接入的系统。第一终端接收来自AMF网元的第一指示。该第一指示用于指示允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一信息包括暂停周期注册指示。暂停周期注册指示用 于指示第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,第一信息用于指示第一终端将离开第一系统,以及用于指示第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。比如,第一信息中包括第二指示和暂停周期注册指示。

在本申请的一个可能的实现方式中,在第一时刻,处理单元,还用于启动计时器。该计时器用于记录第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态的时长,第一时刻为第一终端在AMF网元中的连接状态从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。上述时长大于或等于第二时间值的情况下,AMF网元在第一系统中对第一终端执行隐式去注册。该方案可以实现AMF网元统一对离网时长大于或等于第二时间值的多个终端(包括第一终端)统一执行隐式去注册。

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”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。例如,第一终端和第二终端仅仅是为了区分不同的终端,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”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样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。
本申请实施例中提供的一种通信方法中所涉及到的步骤仅仅作为示例,并非所有的步骤均是必须执行的步骤,或者并非各个信息或消息中的内容均是必选的,在使用过程中可以根据需要酌情增加或减少。
本申请实施例中同一个步骤或者具有相同功能的步骤或者消息在不同实施例之间可以互相参考借鉴。
本申请实施例描述的系统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。本申请实施例中以提供的方法应用于LTE系统或NR系统或第五代移动通信技术(5th generation mobile networks或5th generation wireless systems、5th-Generation,5G)网络中为例进行说明。
在介绍本申请实施例之前首先对本申请实施例中涉及到的名词作如下释义:
1)、移动可达定时器(mobile reachable timer),接入和移动管理(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元或移动管理实体(mobile managenment entity,MME)用于确定终端是否可达的定时器,比终端的周期注册定时器的运行时长长。以5G网络为例,该移动可达定时器在终端进入空闲态(5GMM-IDLE mode)时启动,在N1NAS信令连接建立时停止。若移动可达定时器过期或超期(expiry),则AMF网元确定终端不可达。一般情况下,在移动可达定时器过期后,AMF网元会启动隐式去注册定时器(implicit de-registration timer),且停止寻呼终端。若N1NAS信令连接建立,则隐式去注册定时器停止。否则,若隐式去注册定时器过期,则AMF网元隐式去注册该终端。
2)、周期注册定时器(periodic registration timer),终端侧用于该终端确定周期注册的定时器。若终端通过3GPP接入连接系统,则AMF网元会在注册流程中向终端提供周期注册定时器的值。该周期注册定时器在终端离开连接态时启动,在进入连接态或去注册时停止。在周期注册定时器过期时,该终端应该执行周期注册。
如图1所示,图1为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统,该系统包括:设备10,系统1中的接入和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元20,系统2中的接入和移动管理功能网元30。
其中,设备10为多全球用户识别(multiple universal subscriber identity module,MUSIM)卡终端,即该设备10中具有多个全球用户识别(universal subscriber identity module,USIM)卡。该设备10包括多个终端,比如终端a和终端b,其中终端a与该设备10中的USIM卡1对应,终端b与该设备10中的USIM卡2对应。也即设备10可以为包括终端a和终端b的设备。
其中,系统1为该终端a通过USIM卡1以及系统1中的接入网设备40接入的系统。系统2为该终端b利用USIM卡2以及系统2中的接入网设备50接入的系统。
在本申请实施例中,设备10可以分布于无线网络中,每个设备可以是静态的或移动的。
作为一种示例,系统1不仅包括终端a通过USIM卡1接入的接入网设备40,还包括终端a通过USIM卡1接入的核心网(core network,CN)设备。比如,核心网设备可以包括AMF网元20。
作为一种示例,系统2不仅包括终端b通过USIM卡2接入的接入网设备50,还包括终端b通过USIM卡2接入的核心网(core network,CN)设备。比如,核心网设备可以包括AMF网元30。
本申请实施例中的设备10可以支持多接收或者单接收,但是设备10不能同时与系统1和系统2同时通信。如果设备10中的终端a当前接入系统1,且与系统1保持连接状态,那么终端b此时离开系统2。若该设备10又希望利用终端b与系统2通信,那么终端a可以离开系统1,然后终端b恢复与系统2的通信。
终端a离开系统1指终端a断开与系统1的网络的连接,包括与核心网的连接、与接入网设备的连接等,即终端a在离开系统1后,终端a在系统1中的状态会从连接态转变为空闲态。
下述以该终端为双USIM卡设备为例,双USIM卡设备就重点聚焦单接收单发送和双接收单发送两种。单发送指同时只允许终端通过一个USIM卡发送数据,单接收指同时只允许终端通过一个USIM卡接收数据。不管是单接收单发送,还是双接收单发送,都不允许终端通过两个USIM同时接收和发送,即不允许两个USIM卡同时与两个系统通信。
本申请实施例提供的方法可以适用于如下场景:
场景1、以设备10为手机为例,如果设备10为多接收,如果用户正在使用手机中的USIM卡1接听电话,而这时手机又接收到USIM卡2的来电,如果用户选择接听USIM卡2的来电,那么就可以认为该手机离开手机通过USIM卡1接入的系统,而该手机通过USIM卡2接入另一个系统。
场景2、以设备10为手机为例,如果设备10为单接收,设备10在同一个时刻只能接收到一个USIM卡1的来电。如果用户正在使用手机中的USIM卡1接听电话,如果用户实际希望接收到USIM卡2的来电,那么用户可以选择结束利用USIM卡1接听电话,而离开手机通过USIM卡1接入的系统,而该手机通过USIM卡2接入另一个系统与另一个系统,以查看是否接收到该USIM卡2的来电。
值得说明的是,上述场景1和场景2仅是一种终端离开当前接入的系统的示例,而不构成对本申请的限定。
本申请实施例中如图1所示的通信系统可以应用于4G网络架构、5G网络架构以及未来出现的其他网络架构,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
以图1所示的通信系统适用于5G网络架构为例,那么接入网设备40或接入网设备50对应的网元或者实体可以为5G网络中的(无线)接入网((radio)access network,(R)AN)设备。
如果图1所示的通信系统适用于4G网络架构为例,那么该接入和移动管理功能网元20或接入和移动管理功能网元30可以由分组核心网(evolved packet core,EPC)中的网元,比如MME替换。接入网设备对应的网元或者实体可以为4G网络架构中的网络设备。
如图2所示,系统1除了包括接入和移动管理功能网元20或者系统2除了包括接入网设备40或接入网设备50外,还可以包括:用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)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、应用功能(application function,AF)网元、数据网络(data network,DN)、网络切片选择功能(network slice selection function,NSSF)网元、网络能力开放功能(network exposure function,NEF)网元、用户数据库(user data repository,UDR)、以及网络仓库贮存功能(network repository function,NRF)网元,该NRF网元主要用于网元的发现。
其中,终端通过(R)AN设备接入网络,终端通过N1接口(简称N1)与AMF网元通信。SMF网元通过N4接口(简称N4)与一个或者多个UPF网元通信。UPF网元通过N6接口(简称N6)与DN通信。(R)AN设备与AMF网元之间通过N2接口(简称N2)通信。(R)AN设备通过N3接口(简称N3)与UPF网元通信。其中,控制面网元也可以采用服务化接口进行交互。例如,如图2所示,AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、或者PCF网元采用服务化接口进行交互。比如,AMF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Namf。SMF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nsmf。UDM网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nudm。PCF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Npcf。NSSF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nnssf。NEF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nnef。AF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Naf。NRF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nnrf。应理解,各种服务化接口的名称的相关描述可以参考现有技术中的5G系统架构(5G system architecture)图,在此不予赘述。
如图2所示的网络架构中,以控制面网元采用服务化接口进行交互为例,当然控制面网元也 可以采用如下方式进行通信:AMF实体通过N11接口(简称N11)与SMF网元通信。一个或多个UPF网元中任意两个UPF网元通过N9接口(简称N9)通信。SMF网元通过N7接口(简称N7)与PCF网元通信,PCF网元通过N5接口与AF网元通信。任意两个AMF网元之间通过N14接口(简称N14)通信。SMF网元通过N10接口(简称N10)与UDM通信。AMF网元通过N12接口(简称N12)与AUSF通信。AUSF网元通过N13接口(简称N13)与UDM网元通信。AMF网元通过N8接口(简称N8)与UDM网元通信。

需要说明的是,图2的(R)AN设备、AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、UPF网元和PCF网元等仅是一个名字,名字对设备本身不构成限定。在5G网络以及未来其它的网络中,(R)AN设备、AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、UPF网元和PCF网元所对应的网元或实体也可以是其他的名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,该UDM网元还有可能被替换为用户归属服务器(home subscriber server,HSS)或者用户签约数据库(user subscription database,USD)或者数据库实体,等等,在此进行统一说明,后续不再赘述。
本申请实施例中的第一类型接入为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)接入,包含的接入技术类型(RAT TYPE)可以为NG-RAN,E-UTRAN,UTRAN,NB-IoT等。例如,终端10可以使用3GPP接入网设备连接网络。其中,接入网设备可以为基站。例如,称为下一代基站节点(Next Generation Node Basestation,gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)等。
第二类型接入为非第三代合作伙伴计划(non-3rd Generation Partnership Project,non-3GPP)接入。non-3GPP接入技术可以是非可信non-3GPP接入技术,也可以是可信non-3GPP接入技术,也可以是有线5G接入网络(Wireline 5G Access Network,W-5GAN)等。
图3示出了本申请一实施例中终端使用3GPP接入连接网络的架构示意图,如图3所示,终端除了可以通过3GPP接入还可以通过non-3GPP接入连接到5G核心网(例如,5G核心网中的AMF网元)。
此外,可以理解的是,当终端采用图3所示的方式接入5G核心网时,该5G核心网中的网元与图2所示的5G核心网中的网元相同。具体的,可以参考图2中的网元,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中涉及到的各个网元的含义如下:
N3IWF网元,用于实现不可信非3GPP接入网络通过该网元接入5G核心网。
SMF网元,会话管理功能,如会话建立、修改和释放,包括维护UPF和AN节点间的隧道。终端的IP地址分配和管理(包括可选的授权)。在UPF网元中配置流量路由。NAS消息的会话管理部分终结点。
终端,允许用户接入网络服务的设备。3GPP标准中,终端和网络间的接口是无线接口。
终端(terminal)可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备;还可以包括用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE),移动台 (mobile station,MS),终端设备(terminal device)或者中继用户设备等。其中,中继用户设备例如可以是5G家庭网关(residential gateway,RG)。为方便描述,本申请中,上面提到的设备统称为终端。
应理解,本申请实施例中的终端可以为物联网终端设备、港口、智能工厂、铁路交通、物流、无人机、无人驾驶汽车等多种垂直行业应用领域中的终端。例如:移动机器人(mobile robot)、自动导引车(automated guided vehicle,AGV),无人驾驶汽车,列车上的控制设备和传感器、工厂中部署的控制设备和传感器(sensor)等。
作为示例,在本申请实施例中,该终端还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。该终端还可以为应用于工厂的传感器设备。
如图4所示,图4提供了一种通信系统的控制面协议栈,如图4所示,终端的控制面协议栈由上至下依次包括:非接入(non-access stratum,NAS)层、无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层以及物理层(physical layer,PHY)层。以网络设备为gNB为例,gNB的控制面协议栈由上至下依次包括:RRC层、PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层以及PHY层。图4中以AMF网元的协议栈包括NAS层为例。
RRC连接:在终端和gNB之间通过RRC协议建立的连接,其中RRC协议是控制面协议栈的一部分。终端处于连接态时,终端与RAN之间存在RRC连接,若RRC连接释放,则终端进入空闲态。
NAS信令连接:终端和核心网网元之间的一一对应的连接。对于5G来说,可以叫做N1NAS信令连接,指的是终端和AMF网元之间的一一对应的连接。
结合图1,为了尽量减少终端a离开当前正在通信的系统1对系统1的影响,在终端a离开系统1时,终端a需要与系统1协商,即在离开系统1时,终端a向系统1的核心网指示其即将离开系统10,核心网可以根据指示确定发送给该终端a的下行数据的处理方法,如缓存、丢弃或寻呼终端a等。
目前现有技术中,对于通过3GPP接入注册到网络的终端,该终端在离开其接入的系统进入空闲态后需要执行周期注册,以使网络(可以指该终端接入的系统中的核心网(比如,5G核心网或者4G核心网))了解终端是否依然需要连接网络,如果终端没有及时注册,则会被网络去注册,从而删除该终端的相关信息。具体的,终端在离开系统1,在系统1中进入空闲态后,终端启动周期注册定时器,该周期注册定时器的值为AMF网元在注册过程中发送给终端的。终端在进入空闲态后,AMF网元启动一个移动可达定时器,该移动可达定时器的值大于周期注册定时器的值。若移动可达定时器过期后,终端在系统1中仍处于空闲态,则AMF网元认为终端不可达,且启动一个隐式去注册定时器。若隐式去注册定时器过期后,终端在系统1中仍处于空闲态,则AMF网元隐式去注册该终端。该终端的相关信息可以指释放会话,终止会话管理/接入管理策略关联, 移出SMF网元与DNN和PDU会话ID的关联,终端上下文释放等等。
本申请实施例中的隐式去注册指网络本地对终端执行去注册,而不通知终端。
对于通过non-3GPP接入注册到网络的终端,在进入空闲态后直接启动non-3GPP去注册定时器,non-3GPP去注册定时器的值是AMF网元在注册过程中发送给终端的。终端在进入空闲态后,AMF网元启动一个non-3GPP隐式去注册定时器,non-3GPP隐式去注册定时器的值大于non-3GPP去注册定时器的值。若non-3GPP去注册定时器超期,则终端隐式去注册。若非non-3GPP隐式去注册定时器超期,则AMF网元执行隐式去注册。
本申请实施例中终端侧隐式去注册定时器也可以称为去注册定时器,本申请对名称不做限定。
只要终端在某一时刻进入连接态,若上述某个定时器正在进行,则停止该定时器。
若执行了去注册,则网络中将没有终端的上下文信息以及会话信息等。若终端需要恢复之前的通信,需要执行初始注册和建立会话,会消耗大量的信令造成时延,从而影响用户体验。
目前现有技术中,结合图1,当终端a在离开当前系统1时,终端a向AMF网元提供释放指示和释放辅助信息,释放指示用于指示终端a将离开当前系统1,释放辅助信息包括:终端a期望网络触发下行服务到达指示的会话或服务,终端a将离开这个服务网络的期望时间阶段。终端a期望恢复与当前系统10的连接时,终端a直接向AMF网元发送服务请求或注册请求,AMF网元根据终端a提供的信息指示SMF网元恢复会话的用户面。
但是上述方案中,由于未考虑终端a在系统10中被隐式去注册的问题,即若终端a离开系统1过程中,被AMF网元执行隐式去注册,那么如果终端a后续需要再次接入系统1就要重新在系统1中进行初始注册和重新建立会话,而重新初始注册和重新建立会话将带来大量信令造成时延,从而影响用户的体验。
基于此,为解决上述问题,本申请实施例中第一终端利用第一信息和第一系统中AMF网元进行协商,在AMF网元允许第一终端离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,AMF网元可以利用第一指示向第一终端指示网络侧允许第一终端由于离开第一系统而导致的在第一系统中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样便于第一终端确定在离开第一系统后,可以不在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册。此外,第一终端还可以确定在该周期注册定时器过期时即使第一终端未发起周期注册,其暂时也不会被网络侧隐式去注册。
在本申请实施例中,一种通信方法的执行主体的具体结构,本申请实施例并未特别限定,只要可以通过运行记录有本申请实施例的一种通信方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例的一种通信方法进行通信即可。例如,本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的执行主体可以是第一终端中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块,或者为应用于第一终端中的通信装置,例如,芯片、芯片系统、集成电路等等。这些芯片、芯片系统、集成电路可以设置于第一终端内部,也可以相对于第一终端独立,本申请实施例不做限制。本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的执行主体可以是AMF网元中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块,或者为应用于AMF网元中的通信装置,例如,芯片、芯片系统、集成电路等等,这些芯片、芯片系统、集成电路可以设置于AMF网元内部,也可以相对于AMF网元独立,本申请实施例不做限制。
如图5所示,以终端和AMF网元交互的方式示意了本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法,该通信方法包括:
步骤501、第一终端向第一系统中的AMF网元发送第一信息。相应的,AMF网元接收来自AMF网元的第一信息。
例如,第一信息用于请求是否允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。可选的,第一信息用于请求是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统并在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
不进行周期注册可以指:在第一终端的第三定时器(周期注册定时器)超期后,第一终端可以暂时不向第一系统发起周期注册。
其中,第一终端所在的设备(比如设备10)具有多个全球用户识别卡,第一终端对应多个全球用户识别卡中的第一全球用户识别卡,第一系统为第一终端接入的系统。
结合图1,比如,第一终端可以为终端a,第一系统可以为系统1。
作为一种示例,第一终端的第一USIM通过第一类型接入第一系统。示例性的,第一类型接入可以为3GPP接入。
作为一种示例,第一信息可以为消息X,或者第一信息作为一个字段携带在消息X中。
作为一种示例,第一信息为第一终端准备离开第一系统时向AMF网元发送的消息,那么本申请实施例中的第一消息为上行NAS消息。
作为另一种示例,第一信息可以为第一终端在第一系统中注册时向AMF网元发送的消息,那么,该第一信息用于表示第一终端请求在第一系统中注册该第一终端。例如,第一信息可以为注册请求消息。
作为再一种示例,第一信息可以为第一终端离开第一系统之后,向AMF网元发送的消息。比如,第一终端离开第一系统之后,通过non-3GPP接入向AMF网元发送上行NAS消息,该上行NAS消息即为第一信息。
步骤502、AMF网元根据第一信息向第一终端发送第一指示。相应的,第一终端接收来自AMF网元的第一指示。其中,第一指示用于第一终端确定AMF网元允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,或者第一指示用于指示AMF网元允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
作为一种示例,第一指示用于第一终端确定AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,或者第一指示用于指示AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
作为一种示例,本申请实施例中的第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态可以指:第一终端由于离开第一系统导致第一终端在第一系统中的状态变为空闲态。
作为另一种示例,本申请实施例中的第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态可以指:第一终端由于未离开第一系统导致第一终端在第一系统中的状态变为空闲态。
下述实施例以第一终端由于离开第一系统导致第一终端在第一系统中的状态变为空闲态为例。
本申请实施例中的第一指示可以为用于第一终端确定AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的消息。
可以理解的是,AMF网元根据第一信息确定允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,向第一终端发送第一指示。
在步骤502之前,作为一种可能的实现方式,该方法还可以包括:AMF网元基于本地策略和/或该终端的签约数据,决定是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
比如说,本地策略包括如下信息:若第一设备所在的设备为多USIM卡设备,则允许第一终 端暂停周期注册。若第一终端所在的设备不是多USIM卡设备,则不允许第一终端不进行周期注册,或者要求第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后进行周期注册。若第一终端离开第一系统的期望时间超过预设的值,则AMF网元允许第一终端不进行周期注册。若第一终端离开第一系统的期望时间未超过预设的值,则AMF网元不允许第一终端不进行周期注册,或者要求第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后进行周期注册。
比如说,AMF网元可以从UDM网元处获取该第一终端的签约数据,或者AMF网元中具有该第一终端的签约数据。该第一终端的签约数据中包括是否允许该第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的指示信息。
在一种可能的实施例中,如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤502之后,还可以包括:步骤503、第一终端根据第一指示,在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。即不执行周期注册的过程。
例如,第一终端根据第一指示,当第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。即不执行周期注册的过程。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法,该方法中第一终端利用第一信息和第一系统中AMF网元进行协商,在AMF网元允许第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,AMF网元可以利用第一指示向第一终端指示网络侧允许第一终端在第一系统中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样便于第一终端确定在第一系统中进入空闲态后可以不用在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册。此外,第一终端还可以确定在该周期注册定时器过期时即使第一终端未发起周期注册,其暂时也不会被网络侧隐式去注册。
由于第一终端可以在不同阶段与网络侧协商是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统,而在第一系统中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册,下述将分别介绍:
示例一、第一终端离开第一系统阶段,第一终端与网络协商第一终端在离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后是否不进行周期注册。
由于在第一终端准备离开第一系统的阶段,该第一终端在第一系统中依然处于连接态,即未与第一系统断开连接,因此第一终端可以与网络协商是否允许该第一终端由于离开第一系统,而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
本申请实施例中第一终端可以隐式表示或显式表示该第一终端请求该第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,下述将分别介绍:
示例1.1、显式表示
第一信息包括暂停周期注册指示(也可以称为:不进行周期注册指示),或者,该第一信息即为暂停周期注册指示。该暂停周期注册指示用于指示第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在示例1.1中、在第一终端离开第一系统时,第一终端向网络侧指示该第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。那么,当第一信息包括暂停周期注册指示时,第一信息即为消息1。该消息1为指示第一终端将离开第一系统的消息,换言之消息1中包括暂停周期注册指示。该第一信息为暂停周期注册指示时,第一信息携带在消息1中。
当然,该消息1中还可以包括:释放指示和释放辅助信息。该释放指示用于指示第一终端将离开第一系统。释放辅助信息包括:第一终端期望网络触发下行服务到达指示的会话或服务,第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时间。比如说,AMF网元确定第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时间 大于预设时间阈值,则允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中处于空闲态后不进行周期注册。
比如,消息1的内容可以表述为:{暂停周期注册指示,释放指示,释放辅助信息}。或者,该第一信息也可以位于释放辅助信息中。比如,第一信息为指示符“0”,该指示符“0”作为一个字段位于释放辅助信息中。
示例性的,在示例1-1中,消息1可以为上行NAS消息。该上行NAS消息可以为终端在离开第一系统时,向AMF网元发送的消息。由于终端和第一系统之间依然保持连接状态,故可以向AMF网元发送上行NAS消息。
那么,在示例1.1中,AMF网元可以根据暂停周期注册指示确定第一终端期望由于离开第一系统而导致第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
示例1.2、隐式表示
在该示例1.2中,第一信息包括第二指示,该第二指示用于指示第一终端将离开第一系统。或者,第一信息中包括第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长,或者第一信息为第二指示。
当第一信息包括第二指示或第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长时,第一信息即为消息1。该消息1为指示第一终端将离开第一系统的消息,换言之消息1中包括第二指示或第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长。该第一信息即为第二指示或第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长时,第一信息携带在消息1中。
在示例1.2中,如果第一信息中不包括暂停周期注册指示,但是AMF网元接收到第二指示或者第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长,那么AMF网元也可以确定第一终端请求是否允许该第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
在示例1.2中、在终端离开第一系统时,第一终端向网络侧指示该第一终端期望因离开第一系统而在第一系统中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。那么,消息1可以用于指示第一终端将离开第一系统。
可选的,第一信息还可以为指示该第一终端所在的设备是多USIM卡设备的指示信息,AMF网元根据该指示信息确定允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
那么,在示例1.2中,AMF网元可以根据该第二指示或期望时长确定第一终端期望终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
比如说,AMF网元根据消息1确定第一终端将离开第一系统,则允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这时消息1中可以不包括第二指示或第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长。
在示例1.2中,AMF网元基于期望时长和/或周期注册更新定时器值确定是否允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
作为一种可能的实施例,结合示例1.1和示例1.2,第一指示可以作为一个字段携带在消息2中。或者,第一指示即为消息2。该消息2可以为下行NAS消息。比如说,第一指示为指示符1表示不允许不进行周期注册。比如说,第一指示为指示符2表示允许不进行周期注册。
作为本申请的一个实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元向第一终端发送第一时间值。该第一时间值用于指示第一终端在第一系统中隐式去注册的第一定时器的时长,即该第一时间值为第一终端侧的第一定时器的运行时长。其中,第一定时器指第一终端因离开第一 系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后,由第一终端启动的定时器。第一定时器到期时第一终端执行隐式去注册。例如,该第一定时器可以为第一终端侧的隐式去注册定时器。
一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在同一个消息中,比如消息2中。另一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在不同的消息中。
作为本申请的另一个实施例,该第一指示还可以为第一时间值,这样可以实现AMF网元向第一终端隐式指示网络侧允许第一终端由于离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
上述方案中,AMF网元通过向第一终端提供第一时间值,第一终端可基于收到的第一时间值确定自己是否已经被网络侧隐式去注册,从而在返回第一系统时可以通过不同方式更快速的恢复到连接态。比如第一终端确定网络侧(比如,AMF网元)已经隐式去注册该第一终端,则执行初始注册流程,以在第一系统中恢复到连接态。比如如果第一终端确定网络侧还未隐式去注册该第一终端,则执行注册流程时指示注册类型为移动注册更新,以在第一系统中恢复到连接态。
由于第一信息的内容不同,第一指示的内容、AMF网元和终端的动作存在差异,下述将结合图6a~图6b,分别介绍:
如图6a所示,本申请实施例中的步骤501可以通过以下步骤601a或步骤601b实现:
步骤601a、第一终端向AMF网元发送包括暂停周期注册指示的第一信息,相应的,AMF网元接收来自第一终端的包括暂停周期注册指示的第一信息。
可以理解的是,在步骤601a所示的方案中,第一终端向AMF网元发送暂停周期注册指示。AMF网元收到暂停周期注册指示后,基于本地策略和/或第一终端的签约数据决定是否允许第一终端不进行周期注册。
步骤601b、第一终端向AMF网元发送第一信息,相应的,AMF网元接收来自第一终端的第一信息。其中,第一信息中包括第一终端离开第一系统的期望时长或第二指示。
可以理解的是,在步骤601b所示的方案中,AMF网元在接收到来自第一终端的指示第一终端离开第一系统的上行NAS消息后,AMF网元基于本地策略和/或第一终端的签约数据决定是否允许第一终端因为离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
步骤602a同步骤502,此处不再赘述。
值得说明的是,在步骤601b或步骤601a所示的场景中,若AMF网元允许第一终端不进行周期注册,则AMF网元还向第一终端发送第一时间值。相应的,如图6a所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:
步骤602b、AMF网元向第一终端发送第一时间值,相应的,第一终端接收来AMF网元的第一时间值。其中,该用于指示所述第一终端在第一系统中隐式去注册的第一定时器时长。
值得说明的是,若AMF网元不允许第一终端不进行周期注册,则AMF网元向第一终端发送第一时间值的过程可以省略,即AMF网元向第一终端不发送第一时间值。
在该情况下,若AMF网元向第一终端发送了第一时间值,而未向第一终端发送第一指示,那么第一终端也可以确定AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。值得说明的是,当第一指示和第一时间值携带在同一个消息中时,步骤602b可以省略。上述以第一指示和第一时间值通过不同的消息发送给第一终端。相应的,如图6a所示,上述步骤503可以通过以下方式实现:
步骤603、第一终端确定在第一定时器超期之前不进行周期注册。
由于第一定时器的时间值为第一时间值,由AMF网元配置,那么第一终端便可以确定在第一定时器超期之前即使第一终端不进行周期注册,网络侧也暂时不会隐式去注册该第一终端。换言之,第一终端确定在第一定时器超期之后则需要进行周期注册,以防止被网络侧隐式去注册。
值得说明的是,第一终端在第一定时器超期之前,也可以进行周期注册,以恢复与第一系统的连接。第一定时器是AMF网元向第一终端提供的该第一终端由于离开第一系统而导致在第一系统中进入空闲态后的最大可以不进行周期注册的时长。
上述图6a描述了,无论第一信息中是否包括暂停周期注册指示,AMF网元均向第一终端提供了第一时间值为例,当然,在第一终端采用步骤601a或步骤601b中的任一个向AMF网元发送第一信息时,AMF网元也可以不向第一终端提供第一时间值。
可以理解的是,一方面,如果第一终端采用步骤601a向AMF网元发送第一信息,默认只要第一终端发送暂停周期注册指示,AMF网元即允许第一终端因为离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
另一方面,如果第一终端采用步骤601b向AMF网元发送第一信息,即第一信息包括第一终端将离开第一系统的期望时长或第二指示,而不包括暂停周期注册指示,AMF网元未向第一终端发送第一时间值。
可以理解的是,这时默认AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。只要AMF网元接收到来自第一终端的指示该第一终端离开第一系统的上行NAS消息,即使该上行NAS消息中未携带暂停周期注册指示,那么AMF网元便允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
可以理解的是,在图6a~图6b所示的实施例中,无论AMF网元是否向第一终端发送第一时间值,如果第一指示为消息2,那么该消息2中还可以包括:指示信息。该指示信息指示允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这样第一终端便可以根据该指示信息确定AMF网元允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。当然,该消息2也可以不包括该指示信息。
但是,AMF网元是否向第一终端提供第一时间值,使得第一终端和AMF网元执行隐式去注册的方式存在差异,下述将分别结合图6a或图6b介绍。其中,图6a主要针对AMF网元提供第一时间值时第一终端和AMF网元执行隐式去注册的方式,而图6b主要针对AMF网元未提供第一时间值时第一终端和AMF网元执行隐式去注册的方式:
在一种可能的实施例中,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤603之后还可以包括:
步骤604a、在第二时刻,第一终端启动第三定时器以及第一定时器。第一定时器的值为第一时间值。第二时刻为第一终端从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。换言之,第二时刻即第一终端确定的第一终端由于离开第一系统而在第一系统中从连接态转变为空闲态的时刻。
示例性的,例如,第三定时器为周期注册定时器,第一定时器为隐式去注册定时器。
步骤605a、在第三定时器过期时,第一终端不主动发起周期注册,但保存过期记录。该过期记录表示第三定时器过期。
步骤606a、在第一定时器过期时,第一终端在第一系统中执行隐式去注册。
关于第一终端执行隐式去注册的流程可以参考现有技术中的描述,此处不再赘述。
如图6a所示,在一种可能的实施例中,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤603之后还可以包括:
步骤607a、在第一时刻,AMF网元不启动移动可达定时器(即AMF网元跳过执行移动可达 定时器的启动)。
其中,第一时刻为终端在AMF网元中的连接状态从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。
当然可以理解的是,AMF网元可以启动移动可达定时器,移动可达定时器过期后,终端仍处于空闲态,则AMF网元认为终端不可达。这种情况下,虽然AMF网元启动了移动可达定时器,但是在移动可达定时器超期时,不启动第二定时器。
如图6a所示,在一种可能的实施例中,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤603之后还可以包括:
步骤608a、在第一时刻,AMF网元启动第二定时器,第二定时器的值大于第一时间值。
步骤609a、在第二定时器到期时,若终端在AMF网元中的连接状态为空闲态,则AMF网元对终端执行隐式去注册。
可以理解的是,第一时刻为从AMF网元角度得到的终端在AMF网元中从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。步骤604a中的第二时刻为从终端角度得到的终端在AMF网元中从连接态变为空闲态的时刻。第一时刻和第二时刻可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
结合图6a,本申请实施例提供的方法在AMF网元向第一终端发送第一指示之前,还可以包括:AMF网元根据本地策略、第一终端的签约数据、第一终端提供的期望离开的时长、移动模型中的一个或多个确定第一时间值。
在一种可能的实施例中,如果上述示例一中AMF网元未向第一终端发送第一时间值,那么,如图6a所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤610a、第一终端在第一系统中进入空闲态后,AMF网元向接入网络发送寻呼请求,接入网络接收来自AMF网元的寻呼请求。该寻呼请求用于请求接入网络寻呼该第一终端,以及在寻呼消息中指示AMF网元将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。
比如,寻呼请求中包括字段1和字段2。字段1用于请求接入网络寻呼第一终端。字段2用于指示接入网络在寻呼该第一终端的寻呼消息中指示AMF网元将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。或者第一消息中包括字段1,该字段1用于请求接入网络寻呼该第一终端,以及用于指示接入网络在寻呼该第一终端的寻呼消息中指示AMF网元即将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。
可选的,寻呼请求中包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示AMF网元将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。
所谓的即将隐式去注册指在一段时间(比如,预设时间)后,AMF网元将对该第一终端执行隐式去注册。本申请实施例对AMF网元发送寻呼请求的时刻与执行隐式去注册的时间间隔不做限定。可选的,该寻呼请求中还可以包括一个时间段,用于使得第一终端明确网络侧对第一终端执行隐式去注册的时间。
上述步骤610a可以通过以下方式实现,AMF网元向接入网络(例如,RAN)发送寻呼请求,RAN再寻呼终端。上述第一指示信息包含在AMF网元发送给RAN的寻呼请求和RAN向第一终端发送的寻呼消息中。
步骤611a、第一系统中的接入网络向第一终端发送寻呼消息。相应的,第一终端接收来自接入网络的寻呼消息。该寻呼消息中包括寻呼原因,寻呼原因指示AMF网元即将隐式去注册该第一终端。
在本申请的一个实施例中,如果AMF网元向终端发送了第一时间值,那么步骤610a~步骤611a可以省略。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,如果AMF网元向第一终端发送了第一时间值,那么AMF网元 依然可以执行步骤610a~步骤611a。这是由于第一时间值可能较长,在未达到该第一时间值之前由于其他因素导致的AMF网元可能想提前隐式去注册该第一终端,因此AMF网元通知第一终端即将被隐式去注册。这样如果第一终端想继续和第一系统进行业务传输,那么第一终端可以根据寻呼请求提前恢复与第一系统的连接,而无需等到第一时间值结束。另一方面,便于第一终端确定AMF网元提前隐式去注册第一终端。
在一种可能的实施例中,如果AMF网元确定不再允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元向第一终端发送第四消息。相应的,第一终端接收来自该AMF网元的第四消息。该第四消息中包括第三信息。该第三信息指示不允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。或该第三信息指示要求第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后进行周期注册。例如,第三信息可以为暂停周期注册指示。
当第一终端还未离开第一系统时,AMF网元确定不再允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,那么第三消息可以为UE配置更新命令消息。
当第一终端离开第一系统后,AMF网元确定不再允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,则AMF网元可以通过寻呼服务器或者第二系统中的网元向第一终端发送该第三信息。具体的,AMF网元可以在第一终端或者AMF网元对该第一终端执行隐式去注册之前向第一终端发送该第三信息。
在一种可能的实施例中,待第一终端通过第一全球用户识别卡从第一系统中离开后,该第二终端可以通过第二全球用户识别卡与第二系统通信,那么该第二终端还可以通过以下方式确定离开第二系统。
基于下述条件中的一种或多种确定离开第二系统:
1)、该第二终端在第二系统中的业务已经完成。2)、该第一终端接收到寻呼消息,该寻呼消息中可能指示触发寻呼的MT数据的业务相关信息。该寻呼消息用于寻呼第一终端。3)、该第一终端接收到AMF网元即将在第一系统中隐式去注册该第一终端的消息(比如,寻呼消息)。4)、该第一终端接收到第一时间值,在隐式去注册之前决定暂时恢复下与第一系统的连接以免被第一系统中的AMF网元去注册。
本申请实施例中待第二终端离开第二系统之后,第一终端可以执行第一系统的恢复流程,若该第一终端确定AMF网元未在第一系统中对该第一终端执行隐式去注册,或者该第一终端未在第一系统中对该第一终端执行隐式去注册,则该第一终端可以通过下述情况1。若该第一终端已在第一系统中被隐式去注册,那么第一终端可以通过情况2恢复与第一系统的连接。
作为一种可选的实施例,如图6a所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:
步骤612、第一终端向AMF网元发送初始NAS消息。相应的,AMF网元接收来自该终端的初始NAS消息。该注册更新消息用于请求在第一系统中注册该第一终端。
初始NAS消息是在第一系统中处于空闲态的第一终端向AMF网元发送的第一条消息,用于建立该第一终端到AMF网元的NAS信令连接。初始NAS消息一般包括注册请求消息和服务请求消息等。具体的,这里的初始NAS消息分为下述几种场景:
情况1、初始NAS消息可以是服务请求消息或注册请求消息。
场景1.1)、若周期注册定时器未过期,则初始NAS消息可以是服务请求消息或注册请求消息。考虑到服务请求新流程的主要目的:将第一终端的状态从空闲态变为连接态,因此,一般情 况下,第一终端会选择发送服务请求消息。当然,作为可选,第一终端可以选择发送注册请求消息,并在注册请求消息中指示注册类型为移动注册更新。
场景1.2)、若周期注册定时器过期,即有过期记录,且满足如下情况a~情况c中的任一个,则初始NAS消息为注册请求消息,且注册请求消息中指示注册类型为周期注册更新。
情况a、第一终端收到第一时间值,但第一终端侧的隐式去注册定时器未过期。
情况b、第一终端收到带有即将隐式去注册指示的寻呼消息,在预设时间内该第一终端开始执行恢复流程,在这种情况下,具体的时间值由实现确定,本申请实施例不做限定。
情况c、该第一终端未收到第一时间值或带有即将隐式去注册指示的寻呼消息。此种情况下,第一终端为注册态,第一终端可以发送服务请求消息,但实际上已过期,第一终端需要和网络侧通过注册流程协商一些信息,因此发送注册请求消息更加合理。
对于上述情况b)或c),第一终端无法准确知晓网络是否已去注册该第一终端,所以可能在发送注册请求消息或服务请求消息后,收到注册拒绝消息或服务拒绝消息,并指示该第一终端已被隐式去注册。
情况2、初始NAS消息为注册请求消息。其中,注册请求消息中携带注册类型为初始注册。
可以理解的是,该第一终端在下述场景下执行初始注册流程:
1)接收到第一时间值,且隐式去注册定时器过期;或2)接收到指示即将隐式去注册的寻呼消息,第一终端在预设时间后才向AMF网元发送用于恢复连接的消息,在这种情况下,具体的时间值由实现确定,本申请实施例不做限定。
如图6b所示,作为一种可选的实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤603之后还可以包括:
步骤604b、在第一时刻,AMF网元启动计时器。
其中,计时器用于记录第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态的时长。
步骤605b、第一终端因离开第一系统进入空闲态的时长大于或等于第二时间值的情况下,AMF网元对第一终端执行隐式去注册。
具体的,AMF网元根据运营商的策略和/或AMF网元的本地配置,AMF网元在特定的时间统一对因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态的多个终端(包括本申请实施例中的第一终端)执行隐式去注册。这时AMF网元基于离网计时器确定是否隐式去注册该第一终端。例如以多个终端包括终端a、终端b以及终端c为例,如果终端a和终端b因离开第一系统进入空闲态的时长大于或等于第二时间值,那么AMF网元对终端a和终端b执行隐式去注册。
示例的,AMF网元周期隐式去注册离网超过两个周期注册时间值的终端。本申请实施例对于AMF网元对因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态的多个终端z执行隐式去注册的时间以及如何参考离网计时器不做限定。
如图6b所示,作为一种可选的实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤603之后还可以包括:
步骤606b、在第二时刻,第一终端启动第三定时器。
步骤607b、第三定时器过期时,第一终端不主动发起周期注册,但保存过期记录。该过期记录用于记录第三定时器过期。
步骤608b~步骤610b、同步骤610a~步骤612,此处不再赘述。
值得说明的是,上述图6a与图6b的区别在于:图6a中为第一终端接收到第一时间值的情况下,第一终端的动作和AMF网元对第一终端执行隐式去注册的动作。图6b为AMF网元未向第一终端发送第一时间值的情况下,AMF网元对第一终端执行隐式去注册的动作,以及终端的动 作。
示例二、第一终端在第一系统中注册阶段,与网络协商第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后是否不进行周期注册。
那么,在示例二中该消息1可以为注册请求消息,消息2可以为注册接受消息。
在该示例二中,第一信息为注册请求消息,那么注册请求消息中包括暂停周期注册指示。第一信息携带在注册请求消息中,那么该第一信息可以为暂停周期注册指示。
在该示例二中,第一指示携带在消息2中,该第一指示为用于指示允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态不进行周期注册的指示。比如暂停周期注册指示。
在示例二中,作为本申请的一个实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元向第一终端发送第一时间值。
一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在同一个消息中,比如消息2中。另一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在不同的消息中。
作为本申请的另一个实施例,该第一指示还可以为第一时间值。这样可以实现AMF网元向第一终端隐式指示网络侧允许第一终端由于离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态不进行周期注册。
上述示例一和示例二可以结合,即第一终端先在第一系统中进行注册,注册之后再执行离开第一系统的步骤。
如果在注册阶段,AMF网元未向第一终端发送第一时间值,那么在第一终端离开第一系统时,AMF网元可以向该第一终端提供第一时间值。
如果在注册阶段,AMF网元向第一终端提供了第一时间值,那么在第一终端离开第一系统时,AMF网元也可以不发送第一时间值。或者,即使在注册阶段,AMF网元向第一终端发送了第一时间值。在第一终端离开第一系统时,AMF网元也可以再次向第一终端发送一个第一时间值,AMF网元在两个阶段发送的第一时间值可以不同,也可以相同,本申请实施例对此不做限定。比如,若AMF网元在两个阶段发送的第一时间值可以不同,那么第一终端可以以AMF网元在第一终端离开第一系统时向第一终端发送的第一时间值为准。
示例三、第一终端离开第一系统之后,与网络协商第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后是否不进行周期注册。
在示例三中,该第一信息为第一终端离开第一系统后向AMF网元发送的消息。一方面,第一信息为消息1(比如,上行NAS消息,也可以为专门用于协商是否允许暂停周期注册的消息),那么上行NAS消息中包括暂停周期注册指示。第一信息携带在上行NAS消息中,那么该第一信息可以为暂停周期注册指示。
第一指示为用于指示允许第一终端暂停周期注册的指示。比如用于指示允许第一终端暂停周期注册的指示为暂停周期注册指示。
相应的,步骤501可以通过以下方式1和方式2实现:
方式1、第一终端利用第二类型接入向AMF网元发送包括暂停周期注册指示的第一信息。相应的,AMF网元通过第二类型接入接收来自该第一终端的第一信息。
比如,第二类型接入为non-3GPP接入技术。比如,第一终端向第一系统中的N3IWF发送第一信息,以由N3IWF将第一信息转发给AMF网元。
在示例三的方式1中,作为本申请的一个实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF 网元利用第二类型接入向第一终端发送第一时间值。
一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在同一个消息中,比如消息2中。另一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在不同的消息中。
作为本申请的另一个实施例,该第一指示还可以为第一时间值,这样可以实现AMF网元向第一终端隐式指示网络侧允许其在由于离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态不进行周期注册。
相应的,上述步骤502可以通过以下方式实现:AMF网元通过第二类型接入向该第一终端发送第一指示。相应的,该第一终端通过第二系统中的网元接收来自该AMF网元的第一指示。
比如,待第二终端与第二系统建立连接之后,第一终端可以通过第二终端在第二系统中的用户面再次向第一系统注册,以使得第一终端实现通过第二类型接入第一系统。因此,待第二终端与第二系统具有通信连接,而第一终端离开第一系统的情况下,第一终端可以利用第二类型接入向第一终端发送第一信息。
当然,第一终端也可以不借用第二终端的用户面,而采用第二类型接入在第一系统中注册。
方式2、第一终端利用第一系统中的第一网元或装置向AMF网元发送包括暂停周期注册指示的第一信息。相应的,AMF网元从第一系统中的网元处接收来自该第一终端的第一信息。
例如,第一网元或装置可以为寻呼服务器。
值得说明的是,在第一系统中具有一个寻呼服务器,可以将其理解为一个网元或装置。在第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中的连接状态为空闲态的情况下,核心网与第一终端可以通过第二终端在第二系统的用户面向寻呼服务器发送信令。例如当AMF网元确定有下行数据需要寻呼第一终端时,AMF网元可以将下行数据发送给寻呼服务器。寻呼服务器通过第二终端在第二系统的用户面将下行数据发送给该第一终端。
作为本申请的一个实施例,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:AMF网元利用第一网元或装置向终端发送第一时间值。
一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在同一个消息中,比如消息2中。另一种示例,该第一时间值和第一指示携带在不同的消息中。
作为本申请的另一个实施例,该第一指示还可以为第一时间值,这样可以实现AMF网元向第一终端隐式指示网络侧允许第一终端由于离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态不进行周期注册。
相应的,上述步骤502可以通过以下方式实现:AMF网元通过寻呼服务器向该第一终端发送第一指示。相应的,该第一终端通过寻呼服务器接收来自该AMF网元的第一指示。
上述结合示例一~示例三从不同阶段描述了第一终端和网络侧协商在因离开第一系统而在第一系统中的连接状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册的流程。示例二和示例三中第一终端在第一系统中执行隐式去注册的方式和AMF网元在第一系统中对第一终端执行隐式去注册的方式均可以参考示例一中图6a~图6b中的描述,此处不再赘述。
在示例三中上述步骤610a和步骤611a可以通过以下方式替代:第一终端在第一系统中处于空闲态后,AMF网元通过第二类型接入或者第一网元向第一终端发送第二消息,相应的,第一终端通过第二类型接入或者第一网元接收来自AMF网元的第二消息。其中,第二消息用于指示AMF网元即将对第一终端执行隐式去注册。该第二消息可以为NAS通知消息,也可以为寻呼服务器向第一终端发送的通知消息,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
上述实施例以AMF网元允许第一终端在进入空闲态后不进行周期注册为例,如果AMF网元 确定不允许第一终端在进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,那么上述步骤502可以通过以下方式替换:AMF网元根据第一信息向第一终端发送第五指示。相应的,该终端接收来自AMF网元的第五指示。第五指示用于第一终端确定不允许第一终端因离开第一系统而在第一系统中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。这时第一终端可以根据第五指示确定在第一系统后且周期注册定时器过期前进行周期注册。或者,在离开第一系统时进行去注册或者隐式去注册。
如图7所示,以多个USIM卡包括USIM卡1和USIM卡2,该USIM卡1和USIM卡2属于同一个设备,即该设备为具有多USIM卡的设备,该多USIM卡的设备为包括终端1和终端2的设备;其中,系统1为该终端1通过USIM卡1接入的系统。系统2为终端2通过USIM卡2接入系统,AMF网元1为系统1中的网元为例,描述在终端1准备离开系统1时,本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的具体实施例,该方法包括:
步骤701、终端1向AMF网元1发送上行NAS消息。相应的,AMF网元1接收来自终端1的上行NAS消息。该上行NAS消息用于表示该终端1即将离开系统1。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该上行NAS消息包括暂停周期注册指示,该暂停周期注册指示用于指示终端1期望因该终端1离开系统1期间而导致该终端1在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
终端1向AMF网元1发送上行NAS消息后,有两种可能的释放RRC连接的方式,如步骤702和步骤703所示。其中,步骤702为本地释放RRC连接的过程。步骤703为非本地释放RRC连接的过程。其中,步骤702包括:步骤702a~步骤702d。
步骤702a、终端1释放RRC连接。
可以理解的是,终端1释放RRC连接过程中该终端1和RAN1没有交互。
步骤702b、AMF网元1收到上行NAS消息后,向RAN1发送UE上下文释放命令消息。相应的,RAN1接收来自AMF网元1的UE上下文释放命令消息。
其中,UE上下文释放命令消息用于指示RAN1释放与该终端1相关的RAN1与AMF1之间的逻辑连接。
步骤702c、RAN1在收到UE上下文释放命令后,若RAN1本地依然存在RRC连接,则本地释放RRC连接。
步骤702d、RAN1在释放RRC连接后,向AMF网元1发送UE上下文释放完成消息。相应的,AMF网元接收来自终端1的UE上下文释放完成消息。该UE上下文释放完成消息用于指示与终端1相关的连接释放已完成。
步骤703、AMF网元1通过RAN1向终端1发送下行NAS消息。相应的,终端1通过RAN1接收来自AMF网元1的下行NAS消息。
可选的,下行NAS消息中包含第一时间值。下行NAS消息用于响应终端1发送的上行NAS消息。第一时间值为终端1的隐式去注册定时器的运行时长。在隐式去注册定时器超期时,终端1执行隐式去注册。AMF网元1可以根据本地策略、签约数据、终端1提供的信息中的一个或多个确定第一时间值。
作为一种示例,步骤703可以通过以下方式实现:AMF网元1向RAN1发送消息A。该消息A中除了包含下行NAS消息外,还包含终端上下文释放的指示。RAN1在向终端1发送下行NAS的同时或之后,向终端1发送RRC释放指示。
步骤701中可能包含暂停周期注册指示,步骤703中可能包含第一时间值。这里有四种可选 的方案:
方案1)、上行NAS消息中包含暂停周期注册指示,在AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,下行NAS消息包含第一时间值。这种方案下,可以理解的是,终端1发送暂停周期注册指示,在收到暂停周期注册指示后,AMF网元1基于本地策略和/或终端1的签约数据决定是否允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的连接状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。若允许,则下行NAS消息中包括第一时间值。若不允许,则下行NAS消息中不包含第一时间值。
方案2)、上行NAS消息中包含暂停周期注册指示,在AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的连接状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,下行NAS消息不包含第一时间值。这种方案下,默认只要终端1发送暂停周期注册指示,AMF网元1即允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
方案3)、上行NAS消息中不包含暂停周期注册指示,在AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册的情况下,下行NAS消息包含第一时间值。这种方案下,可以理解的是,在AMF网元1接收到来自终端1的指示终端1离开系统1的上行NAS消息后,AMF网元1基于本地策略和/或终端1的签约数据决定是否允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。若允许,则下行NAS消息中包含第一时间值。若不允许,则下行NAS消息中不包含第一时间值。
方案4)、上行NAS消息中不包含暂停周期注册指示,下行NAS消息不包含第一时间值。这种方案下,默认AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,只要接收到来自终端1的指示终端1离开系统1的上行NAS消息,终端1就可以在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
对于方案1)和方案3),终端1和AMF网元1按照如下方式不进行周期注册:
A)、终端1在AMF网元1中的状态从连接态进入空闲态后,AMF网元1不启动移动可达定时器,启动隐式去注册定时器。
该隐式去注册定时器的值大于AMF网元1发送给终端1的第一时间值。若该隐式去注册定时器超期时,终端1仍然处于空闲态,则AMF网元1对终端1执行隐式去注册。
B)、终端1在AMF网元1中的状态从连接态进入空闲态后,终端1启动周期注册定时器,同时启动隐式去注册定时器。周期注册定时器过期时,终端1不主动发起周期注册,但保存过期记录。终端1侧的隐式去注册定时器的值即为第一时间值,隐式去注册定时器过期时,终端1执行隐式去注册。
对于方案2)和方案4),终端1和AMF网元1按照如下方式不进行周期注册:
A)、终端1在AMF网元1中的状态从连接态进入空闲态后,AMF网元1不启动移动可达定时器和隐式去注册定时器,启动一个离网计时器。
其中,该离网计时器用于记录终端1因离开系统1而处于空闲态的时间。AMF网元根据运营商的策略和/或AMF网元的本地配置,AMF网元在特定的时间统一执行离网的一个或多个终端(包括终端1)的隐式去注册。该隐式去注册基于离网计时器确定是否隐式去注册上述终端1。示例的,AMF网元1周期隐式去注册离网超过两个周期注册时间值的终端。
B)、终端1在AMF网元1中的状态从连接态进入空闲态后,终端1启动周期注册定时器。周期注册定时器过期时,终端1不主动发起周期注册,但保存过期记录。
步骤704、AMF网元1根据终端1提供的信息和/或本地策略,AMF网元1向SMF网元1发送会话更新请求,相应的,SMF网元1接收来自AMF网元1的会话更新请求。该会话更新请求用以指示SMF网元1释放相关会话的用户面,以及在终端1离开当前系统过程中如何处理下行数据,如丢弃下行数据、缓存下行数据、寻呼终端1等等。
步骤705、基于AMF网元1提供的信息、从PCF网元1处获得策略信息、签约数据、本地配置等,SMF网元决定如何处理会话和通知相关的UPF网元。
步骤706、SMF网元1更新会话后,向AMF网元1发送会话更新响应。
上述步骤704-步骤706与步骤707不分先后顺序。
步骤707、终端1离开系统1后,终端2执行系统2的恢复流程。
终端2执行系统2的恢复流程可以参考终端1在系统1中执行的恢复流程,此处不再赘述。下述将从系统1的角度描述终端1执行的恢复流程,即步骤711-715或步骤716-717。终端2执行系统2的恢复流程后,终端2在系统2处于连接态,终端1在系统1中处于空闲态。
步骤708、AMF网元1RAN1发送第一消息。相应的,RAN1接收来自AMF网元1发送的第一消息。其中,第一消息中携带第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示AMF网元1即将隐式去注册该终端1。
所谓即将隐式去注册该终端1指在一段时间后,AMF网元1将对该终端1执行隐式去注册。本申请实施例对AMF网元1发送第一消息与执行隐式去注册的时间间隔不做限定。
步骤709、RAN1向终端1发送寻呼消息,终端1接收来自RAN1的寻呼消息。该寻呼消息中包括寻呼原因。该寻呼原因表示AMF网元1即将隐式去注册该终端1。
步骤710、终端2确定离开系统2。
实际上,假设终端离开其接入的系统都是由用户最终决定的,只是最终由终端来实施用户的决定。终端2确定离开系统2的条件可以参考上述终端1确定离开系统1的条件,此处不再赘述。
步骤711、终端2在系统2执行离开流程。
步骤711的实现可以参考上述步骤701~706的描述,此处不再赘述。
下述通过步骤712~步骤716或步骤717~步骤718描述,终端2离开系统2后,终端1在系统1中的恢复流程。
一种可能的实现,若终端1确定在系统1中未被去注册,则终端1执行步骤712~步骤716。
步骤712、终端1向AMF网元1发送注册请求消息。相应的,AMF网元1接收来自终端的注册请求消息。
例如,注册请求消息可以为初始NAS消息。其中,是空闲态的终端向AMF网元1发送的第一条消息,用于建立该终端到AMF网元1的NAS信令连接。初始NAS消息一般包括注册请求消息和服务请求消息等,具体的,这里的初始NAS消息分为下述几种场景:
场景1)、若周期注册定时器未过期,则初始NAS消息可以是服务请求消息或注册请求消息。由于服务请求消息的主要目的就是将终端从空闲态变为连接态,因此,一般情况下,终端会选择发送服务请求消息。当然,作为可选的,终端1可以选择发送注册请求消息,并在注册请求消息中指示注册类型为移动注册更新。
场景2)、若周期注册定时器超期,即有过期记录,且满足如下a)~c)中的任一个,则初始NAS消息为注册请求消息,且注册请求消息中指示注册类型为周期注册更新。此种情况下,终端为注册态,终端可以发送服务请求消息,但实际上已过期,终端需要和网络侧通过注册流程协商 一些信息,因此发送注册请求消息更加合理,但是发送服务请求消息也可以作为一个备选。
a)、终端1收到第一时间值,但隐式去注册定时器未过期。
b)、终端1收到带有即将隐式去注册指示的寻呼消息,在T1内该终端开始执行在系统1中的恢复流程。
c)、终端1未收到第一时间值或带有即将隐式去注册指示的寻呼消息。
对于上述情况b)或c),终端1无法准确知晓网络是否已去注册,所以可能在发送注册请求消息或注册请求消息后,收到注册拒绝消息或服务拒绝消息,并指示已隐式去注册,此时不执行步骤713~步骤715,此时和终端1被隐式去注册的场景一致,即终端1可执行步骤717~步骤718。
步骤713、AMF网元1根据终端1提供的信息确定需要激活会话的用户面,则AMF网元1向SMF网元1发送会话更新请求。相应的,SMF网元1接收来自AMF网元1的会话更新请求。该会话更新请求用于指示需要激活该终端1的用户面的会话。
步骤714、SMF网元1根据AMF网元1的指示与UPF网元1交互指示激活对应的会话的用户面。
具体过程可以参考现有技术中的描述,此处不再赘述。
步骤715、用户面激活后,SMF网元1向AMF网元1发送会话更新响应,相应的,AMF网元1接收来自SMF网元1的会话更新响应。
步骤716、AMF网元1向终端1发送NAS响应消息。终端1接收来自AMF网元1的NAS响应消息。
如果AMF网元确定终端1已在系统1中隐式去注册,则NAS响应消息可以是注册拒绝消息,或服务拒绝消息。如果AMF网元确定终端1未在系统1中隐式去注册,则NAS响应消息可以是服务接受消息或者注册接受消息。
另一种可能的实现,若终端1确定在系统1中被隐式去注册,则终端1执行步骤717~步骤718。
步骤717、终端1向AMF网元1发送注册请求消息,相应的,AMF网元1接收来自终端1的注册请求消息。其中,注册请求消息中指示注册类型为初始注册。该终端1在下述场景下执行初始注册流程:
1)、终端1接收到第一时间值,且隐式去注册定时器超期。或,2)、终端1接收到指示即将隐式去注册的寻呼消息。终端1在T1之后才向AMF网元1发送注册请求消息,在这种情况下,具体的T1由实现确定,本申请实施例不做限定。
步骤718、终端1还需要建立会话,即执行会话建立流程。
上述步骤718的具体实现可以参考现有技术中的描述,此处不再赘述。
图7所示的实施例中,终端1在离开系统1后,不需要在周期注册定时器过期时发起周期注册,且终端1可以知道是否已经被隐式去注册,从而可以选择合适的方式恢复在系统1的连接。在图7所示的实施例中,以上述第一信息为上行NAS消息,第一指示为下行NAS消息为例。
在图7所示的实施例中,步骤702a、702b、702c、702d、704-718为可选的步骤。
如图8所示,图8描述本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的具体实施例,该方法与图7所示的实施例的区别在于,终端1在系统1中进行注册时,便与AMF网元1协商因终端1离开系统1而导致终端1在系统1中进入空闲态后是否不进行周期注册,该方法包括:
步骤801、终端1向AMF网元1发送注册请求消息。相应的,AMF网元1接收来自终端的注册请求消息。
其中,该注册请求消息用于请求在系统1的核心网中注册该终端1。
可选的,该注册请求消息中包含暂停周期注册指示,该暂停周期注册指示用于指示终端1期望终端1由于离开系统1而导致在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。
步骤802、AMF网元1向终端1发送注册接受消息。终端1接收来自AMF网元1的注册接受消息。
其中,注册接受消息用于指示AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。
如果AMF网元1允许终端1不进行周期注册,那么该注册接受消息中可以包含允许指示信息。该允许指示信息用于指示AMF网元1允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。
可选的,该注册接受消息中包含第一时间值。
如果AMF网元1不允许终端1不进行周期注册,则注册接受消息用于指示AMF网元1不允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。那么一方面,注册接受消息中可以包括第一字段,该第一字段指示AMF网元1不允许终端1因离开系统1而在系统1中的状态为空闲态后不进行周期注册。或者该注册接受消息中可以不包括:允许指示信息,以隐式指示不允许终端不进行周期注册。该第一字段可以位于注册接受消息中携带的暂停周期注册指示中。
步骤803、若AMF网元1确定不再允许终端1不进行周期注册,则AMF网元1向终端1发送配置更新命令消息。相应的,终端1接收来自AMF网元的配置更新命令消息。其中,该配置更新命令消息中包含第一字段。
步骤804、终端1在接收到来自AMF网元1的配置更新命令消息后,终端1可以向AMF网元1发送配置更新完成消息。
步骤805、终端1向AMF网元1发送上行NAS消息,该AMF网元1接收来自终端1的上行NAS消息。该上行NAS消息用于指示终端1即将离开系统1。
步骤806、同上述步骤702中的描述,此处不再赘述。
在一种可能的实施例中,如图8所示,若上述步骤802中的注册接受消息中不包含第一时间值,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:
步骤807、则AMF1向终端1发送下行NAS消息,相应的,终端接收来自该AMF网元1的下行NAS消息。该下行NAS消息中包括第一时间值。
步骤808~步骤811、同上述步骤704~步骤707,此处不再赘述。
若AMF网元1在步骤802和步骤807中均未向终端发送第一时间值,那么AMF网元1执行下述步骤812。步骤812、同步骤708,此处不再赘述。步骤813~步骤822、同上述步骤709~步骤718。
图8所示的实施例与图7所示的实施例的区别在于:终端1在系统1的核心网中注册的时候,便向AMF网元1指示终端1希望后续该终端1由于离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册。如果AMF网元1在终端1注册阶段便向终端1指示允许该终端1由于离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,那么后续终端1从系统1中离开时便可以省略与AMF网元1协商不进行周期注册的过程,从而终端1在后续因离开系统1而进入空闲态时可以在周期注册定时器超期时跳过周期注册。
在图8所示的实施例中,步骤803~步骤822为可选的步骤。
如图9所示,图9与图8和图7的区别在于:终端1在离开系统1之后,与系统1中的AMF网元1协商在离开系统1之后,在系统1中不进行周期注册,该方法包括:
步骤901、终端1通过USIM卡1采用3GPP接入在系统1中注册。
步骤902a、终端2通过USIM卡2在系统2中注册。
在步骤902a中,终端2通过USIM卡2采用non-3GPP接入或3GPP接入在系统2中注册。
该终端2在系统2中建立会话。该终端1通过系统2中会话的用户面接入系统1的N3IWF1,也就是说终端1可以通过non-3GPP接入再次注册到系统1。例如,终端1将注册请求消息通过系统2的用户面发送至N3IWF1。本申请实施例中终端1通过USIM卡1接入系统1,终端2通过USIM卡2接入系统2,终端1和终端2都是接入到各自的系统。终端2可以在系统2中建立用户面,该用户面可以接入到网络,这个网络可以是终端1对应的网络中的N3IWF1,即终端1用了这个用户面当作自己的非3GPP接入,接入到了网络。相当于终端1通过non-3GPP接入接入了网络。当然,终端1也可以不借用终端2的用户面,通过non-3GPP接入接入了网络。
步骤902b、该终端2在系统2中建立会话,该终端1通过系统2中会话的用户面接入系统1的N3IWF1网元。
通过步骤902b便可以实现终端1通过non-3GPP接入再次注册到系统1。
步骤903、终端2离开系统2。
此时终端2在系统2中的状态变为空闲态,系统1中该终端1在non-3GPP侧的状态为空闲态,即终端通过non-3GPP接入的空闲态(对于5G系统,对应的英文可以是5GMM-IDLE mode over non-3GPP access,反之连接态对应的英文可以是5GMM-CONNECTED mode over non-3GPP access)。
值得说明的是,由于终端2在系统2的用户面构成了终端1在系统1的non-3GPP接入,因此,终端2在系统2中的状态变为空闲态,则终端1在non-3GPP进入空闲态。
步骤904、终端1执行与系统1的恢复流程。
步骤905~步骤910、同上述步骤701~步骤706,区别在于:步骤905中未携带暂停周期注册指示,且步骤907,AMF网元1未向终端1提供第一时间值。
此后该终端在系统1中(也即non-3GPP侧)进入连接态,即通过non-3GPP接入的连接态,系统1中该终端在3GPP侧进入空闲态,即通过3GPP接入的空闲态(5GMM-IDLE mode over 3GPP access)。
步骤911、终端2在系统2中执行恢复流程。
步骤912、终端1通过non-3GPP接入向AMF网元1发送上行NAS消息,相应的,AMF网元1通过non-3GPP接入接收来自终端的上行NAS消息。该上行NAS消息可以是任何连接态发送的上行NAS消息,上行NAS消息中包含暂停周期注册指示。
步骤913、AMF网元1通过non-3GPP接入向终端发送下行NAS消息,相应的,终端通过3GPP接入接收来自AMF网元1的下行NAS消息。该下行NAS消息中包括允许指示信息。可选的,下行NAS消息中包含第一时间值。
值得说明的是,如果AMF网元1确定终端1由于离开系统1而在系统1中进入空闲态后要进行周期注册,则下行NAS消息用于指示终端1不允许终端1由于离开系统1而进入空闲态后不进行周期注册,或下行NAS消息不包含允许指示信息。
如果AMF网元1在步骤913中未向终端发送第一时间值,则AMF网元1在准备对终端执行 隐式去注册之前还可以执行下述步骤914。
步骤914、AMF网元1可通过non-3GPP接入向终端1发送NAS通知消息,相应的,该终端1通过non-3GPP接入接收来自AMF网元1的NAS通知消息。该NAS通知消息用于指示即将隐式去注册该终端1。
步骤915~步骤923、同步骤710~步骤718中的描述,此处不再赘述。
图9所示的实施例与图7所示的实施例的区别在于:图9中在终端1从系统1中离开之后,再与系统1中的AMF网元1协商是否允许终端1不进行周期注册。而图7所示的实施例中,终端1在准备离开系统1时,便与系统1中的AMF网元1协商是否允许终端1不进行周期注册。
在图9所示的实施例中,步骤901~步骤911以及步骤914~步骤923为可选的步骤。
如图10所示,描述本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的具体实施例,该方法与图9所示的实施例的区别在于包括:
步骤1001~步骤1006、同上述步骤701~步骤706,区别在于:步骤1001中未携带暂停周期注册指示。步骤1003中未携带第一时间值。
步骤1007a、终端1通过系统2的用户面向网元或装置(比如,寻呼服务器)发送暂停周期注册指示。
比如说,终端1通过系统2的用户面向系统1的网元或装置(比如,寻呼服务器)发送暂停周期注册。
步骤1007b、网元或装置(比如,寻呼服务器)向AMF网元1发送消息,该消息中包括暂停周期注册指示。
步骤1008a、AMF网元1向寻呼服务器发送响应消息,相应的,寻呼服务器接收来自AMF网元1的响应消息。该响应消息中包含暂停周期注册指示,所述暂停周期注册指示用于指示AMF网元1允许终端不进行周期注册。可选的,响应消息中包含第一时间值。
若AMF网元1不允许终端不进行周期注册,则响应消息中包括用于指示不允许终端不进行周期注册的指示信息,或不包含暂停周期注册指示。
步骤1008b、寻呼服务器将收到的响应消息通过系统2的用户面发送给终端1。
当终端1由于离开系统1而在系统1中处于空闲态时,核心网与终端1可以通过寻呼服务器发送信令。例如,当AMF网元1确定有下行数据需要寻呼终端1时,AMF网元1可以将寻呼内容发送给寻呼服务器,寻呼服务器通过系统2的用户面发送给终端1。
作为一种可能的实施例,如果上述步骤1008中未包括第一时间值,则如图10所示,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤1008之后还可以包括:
步骤1009、AMF网元1通过寻呼服务器向终端1发送通知消息,相应的,该终端1可以通过寻呼服务器接收来自AMF网元1的通知消息。该通知消息中指示即将隐式去注册该终端1。
步骤1010~步骤1018,同步骤711~步骤718中的描述,此处不再赘述。
图7~图10所示的实施例中,终端1可以为上述第一终端。
值得说明的是,本申请实施例中但凡由AMF网元执行的动作,均可以由MME执行,换言之,AMF网元可以替换为MME。
在图10所示的实施例中,步骤1001~步骤1006以及步骤1009a~步骤1018为可选的步骤。
