5G无线技术主要用于解决各种用例,这些用例分为增强型移动宽带(eMBB),超可靠和低延迟通信(URLLC)以及大规模机器类型通信(mMTC)。尽管如此,在这些主要用例之间还存在其他一些用例,例如工业传感网络,视频监控和可穿戴设备。为了有效地服务于此类用例,引入了功能较弱的NR终端,即低能力(reduced capability,REDCAP)终端。与常规NR终端相比,REDCAP终端具有较低的成本和复杂性,更小的外形尺寸和更长的电池寿命。对于REDCAP终端,如何保障该终端仅仅能够使用相应的用例或者业务,是当前面临的关键问题。
有鉴于此,本申请提供了一种通信方法,接入网设备或者核心网设备能够确定终端装置是否能够使用其上报的REDCAP信息(即,第一REDCAP信息)所对应的业务,从而有利于保障终端装置仅仅能够使用其对应的业务。下面对本申请提供的方案进行说明。
图3是本申请提供的一种通信方法的示意性流程图。该方法300可以包括步骤S310至S330,以下将对各步骤进行说明。
S310,第一网元获取来自终端装置的REDACP信息,即第一REDACP信息。
在本申请中,第一REDACP信息可以是其他网元主动向第一网元发送的,也可以是其他网元在接收到第一网元的请求后向第一网元发送的,还可以是第一网元自己确定的。下文中的方法400至方法800中将会进行举例说明。
S320,第一网元获取该终端装置的签约的REDCAP信息,即第二REDCAP信息。
第一网元可以从统一数据管理网元获取该终端装置的签约的信息,该终端装置的签约的信息包括第二REDCAP信息。或者,第一网元可以从统一数据管理网元获取该终端装置的签约的信息中的第二REDCAP信息。其中,第二REDCAP信息可以是终端装置签约时就已经存储在统一数据管理网元中的信息,也可以是应用网元通过能力开放接口向统一数据管理网元发送的。
S330,第一网元根据第一REDCAP信息和REDCAP第二信息,确定是否允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务。
第一种实现方式中,第一REDCAP信息用于指示REDCAP接入技术。相应地,第二REDCAP信息用于指示该终端装置签约的接入技术,或者,第二REDCAP信息用于指示该终端装置是否签约了REDCAP接入技术。
如果该终端装置签约的接入技术包括REDCAP接入技术,或者,该终端装置签约了REDCAP接入技术,则允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。如果该终端装置签约的接入技术不 包括REDCAP接入技术,或者,该终端装置没有签约REDCAP接入技术,则不允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即不允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。
在第一种实现方式和下文中的第二种实现方式中,REDCAP接入是指5G NR为了适配海量物联网终端网络接入进行的“简配”版NR技术,即Reduced Capability NR,旨在满足视频监控、工业传感网络以及可穿戴设备三种场景下的物联网终端装置网络连接需求,或其它场景的类似需求。也就是说,在第一种实现方式和下文中的第二种实现方式中,可以认为不同场景或不同用例所对应的REDCAP终端都可以通过REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。比如,视频监控场景对应的REDCAP终端、工业传感网络对应的REDCAP终端以及可穿戴场景对应的REDCAP终端(即,可穿戴设备)都可以通过REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。
例如,所述终端装置为可穿戴设备,在该可穿戴设备签约了REDCAP接入技术的情况下,可以允许该可穿戴设备通过REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。如果该可穿戴设备签约的接入技术为窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things,NB-IoT),则不允许该可穿戴设备通过REDCAP接入技术与网络建立连接。
第二种实现方式中,第一REDCAP信息用于指示REDCAP接入技术和第一业务类型,第一业务类型使用的接入技术为REDCAP接入技术。相应地,第二REDCAP信息用于指示REDCAP接入技术和至少一个业务类型,该至少一个业务类型使用的接入技术为REDCAP接入技术。
如果该至少一个业务类型包括第一业务类型,则允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术访问第一业务类型的业务。如果该至少一个业务类型不包括第一业务类型,则不允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即不允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术访问第一业务类型的业务。
例如,如果第一业务类型为视频监控业务,该至少一个业务类型也包括视频监控业务,则允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术访问视频监控业务。如果第一业务类型为视频监控,该至少一个业务类型为可穿戴业务,则不允许该终端装置使用REDCAP接入技术访问视频监控业务。
第三种实现方式中,第一REDCAP信息用于指示第一类型的REDCAP接入技术,相应地,第二REDCAP信息用于指示至少一个类型的REDCAP接入技术。其中,不同类型的REDCAP接入技术对应的业务类型不同。
如果该至少一个类型的REDCAP接入技术包括第一类型的REDCAP接入技术,则允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即允许该终端装置使用第一类型的REDCAP接入技术访问第一类型的REDCAP接入技术对应的业务。如果该至少一个类型的REDCAP接入技术不包括第一类型的REDCAP接入技术,则不允许该终端装置使用和第一REDCAP信息所对应的业务,即不允许该终端装置使用第一类型的REDCAP接入技术访问第一类型的REDCAP接入技术对应的业务。
在该实现方式中,可以认为不同场景或不同用例对应不同的REDCAP接入技术,或者可以认为不同的REDCAP接入技术指示了不同的场景或者用例。比如,第一类型的 REDCAP接入技术对应视频监控场景、第二类型的REDCAP接入技术对应工业传感网络第三类型的REDCAP接入技术对应可穿戴场景。监控摄像头等用于视频监控场景的REDCAP终端可以使用第一类型的REDCAP接入技术,温度传感器、压力传感器等用于工业传感网络的REDCAP终端可以使用第二类型的REDCAP接入技术,智能手环、智能手表等可穿戴设备可以使用第三类型的REDCAP接入技术。
例如,在所述终端装置为监控摄像头,并且该监控摄像头签约了第一类型的REDCAP接入技术,则允许该终端装置使用第一类型的REDCAP接入技术访问视频监控业务。
本申请中,业务、业务类型、场景、用例以及用例信息(use case)可以相互替换。
根据本申请提供的方法,终端装置可以向第一网元(接入网设备或者核心网设备)上报接入技术和/或业务类型,第一网元使用该终端装置的签约的信息对终端装置上报的接入技术和/或业务类型进行验证,以明确该终端装置是否可以使用其上报的接入技术和/或业务类型,这样,有利于保证终端装置仅仅能够使用其对应的业务。
上述方案中,第一网元可以是接入网设备也可以是核心网设备。下面分别以第一网元为接入网设备、接入和移动管理网元、会话管理网元、终端装置从第一网络向第二网络切换过程中的第二网络中的接入网设备、以及终端装置从第一网络向第二网络切换过程中的第二网络中的接入和移动管理网元为例,对本申请提供的方案进行更详细的说明。
