技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种SNPN选择方法、终端、装置及存储介质。
背景技术
第五代移动通信(the 5th generation mobile communication,5G)R16版本中引入了一种新型的网络-非公共网络(Non-Public Network,NPN)。NPN可以通过多种方式部署,既可以独立于已经存在的5G公共网络部署,即独立非公共网络(Stand-alone Non-Public Network,SNPN),也可以通过共享的方式部署在现有的5G公共网络上,即公共网络集成的非公共网络(Public Network Integrated-NPN,PNI-NPN)。
对于SNPN,引入支持使用外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络和支持SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息的远程配置两大功能,并为此引入了组标识(Group ID)的概念,组标识用于标识一组外部网络(上述外部鉴权或远程配置功能所对应的SNPN支持的外部网络),相应地,在接入网新增了一个系统信息块,该系统信息块中包含组标识列表。支持上述外部鉴权和远程配置功能的用户设备(User Equipment,UE)(或者又称之为终端设备,以下简称为终端)在进行SNPN选择过程中,终端的接入层(Access Stratum,AS)可读取上述系统信息块并将其中的组标识列表发给终端的非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS),以供终端的NAS层根据需要使用组标识列表选择SNPN。
由于组标识列表的获取需要终端的AS层在搜索可用SNPN过程中,搜索终端支持的频段上的每个频点的最强小区并读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,因此现有SNPN选择方法会导致终端的耗电量较大;而且,由于每个小区的系统信息块是在固定的时域位置发送,终端为了读取该系统信息块需要等待该时域位置的到来,也会降低SNPN选择过程的效率。因此,如何提出一种SNPN选择方法,以降低终端耗电并提高SNPN选择过程的效率,是业界亟需解决的重要课题。

为了便于更加清晰地理解本公开各实施例,首先对一些相关的背景知识进行如下介绍。
NPN技术中引入了一些新的功能,进一步增强NPN技术性能。举例如下。
(1)支持使用外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络
正常情况下,终端使用SNPN的鉴权信息在SNPN网络内完成鉴权及注册过程。NPN增加了一个新的功能,即在终端注册到SNPN网络时,终端使用独立于SNPN的外部实体(如其他外部网络)的鉴权信息,鉴权过程由上述独立于SNPN的外部实体实施。此功能可以应用于一些场合,如工厂、大型居住区、校园、商场等,这些地方部署的NPN网络,其鉴权认证过程可以由外部实体/网络提供。
(2)支持SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置
终端侧要接入SNPN网络,需要终端侧配置有相关SNPN用户签约数据,SNPN用户签约数据可以提前存储在全球用户身份模块(Universal Subscriber Identity Module,USIM)卡中,终端使用特定的USIM卡即可接入相应的SNPN网络。
对于SNPN网络的某些应用场景如工厂设备,为每台新增设备配置专用的USIM卡无论从灵活性和成本角度都存在可优化的空间。因此针对SNPN提出了新的需求,即终端可以不使用预先配置SNPN用户签约数据的USIM卡,通过引入一种新型的SNPN用户签约数据载入网络(以下简称Onboarding SNPN)用于用户签约数据的远程载入,没有SNPN用户签约数据的终端可以驻留到Onboarding SNPN并通过Onboarding SNPN远程获取到SNPN用户签约数据,进而使用获取的SNPN用户签约数据注册到目标SNPN网络,使用SNPN网络提供的服务。其基本步骤如下:
a、终端驻留到Onboarding SNPN,并通过Onboarding SNPN访问签约数据授予服务器(Provisioning Server);
b、Provisioning Server从目标SNPN获取终端的用户签约数据;
c、Provisioning Server通过Onboarding SNPN提供的数据传输通道将用户签约数据发送到终端;
d、终端使用载入的SNPN用户签约数据注册到目标SNPN网络。
(3)组标识列表(group id list)
为了支持上述功能(1)和(2),NPN引入了组标识(Group ID)的概念,组标识用于标识一组外部网络。支持外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络和SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置这两个功能的终端,可选地在NAS层配置与组标识有关的信息,如鉴权数据持有者的优先组标识列表(即Credentials Holder controlled prioritized list of GINs)。相应地,在接入网新增了一个系统信息块,其中包含了上述功能(1)和/或(2)对应的SNPN支持的外部网络的组标识列表。当终端进行SNPN选择时,终端的AS层可读取该系统信息块并将其中的组标识列表发给终端的NAS层,以供终端的NAS层根据需要使用组标识列表选择SNPN并发起注册过程。
由于组标识列表的获取需要终端的AS层在搜索可用SNPN过程中,搜索终端支持的频段上的每个频点的最强小区并读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,因此现有SNPN选择方法会导致终端的耗电量较大;而且,由于每个小区的系统信息块是在固定的时域位置发送,终端为了读取该系统信息块需要等待该时域位置的到来,也会降低SNPN选择过程的效率。
针对上述问题,本公开各实施例提供一种解决方案,终端的NAS层可以根据需要指示AS层是否获取组标识列表,从而能够避免终端不必要地读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,以降低终端的耗电,并提高SNPN选择过程的效率。
图1为本公开实施例提供的SNPN选择方法的流程示意图,如图1所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤100、终端的非接入层实体向终端的接入层实体发送第一指示信息, 第一指示信息用于指示终端的接入层实体不需要获取组标识列表;组标识列表为SNPN支持的外部网络的标识集合;
具体地,为了支持外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络和SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置的功能,NPN引入了组标识的概念,组标识用于标识一组外部网络,例如,某个SNPN支持的可以实施外部鉴权的外部网络,组标识列表即为SNPN所支持的外部网络的标识集合,相应地,接入网中新增了一个系统信息块,其中包含组标识列表,终端的AS层可以通过读取该系统信息块获取其中的组标识列表。
在选择SNPN的过程中,终端的NAS层可以参考每个SNPN对应的组标识列表,从AS层搜索获得的各可用SNPN中选择合适的SNPN。例如,终端的NAS层可能配置有组标识配置信息,组标识配置信息中包含有组标识优先级列表,那么,NAS层在选择SNPN的过程中,可以根据每个SNPN对应的组标识列表,优先选择高优先级的组标识列表对应的SNPN。
然而,组标识列表的获取需要终端的AS层在搜索可用SNPN过程中,搜索终端支持的频段上的每个频点的最强小区并读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,由此导致终端的耗电量较大,且终端为了读取该系统信息块需要等待固定时域位置的到来,也会降低SNPN选择过程的效率。
根据上述描述,本领域技术人员可以理解的是,SNPN选择的过程中,组标识列表作为一个参考信息,可以辅助NAS层选择SNPN,但组标识列表并非必要信息,也就是说,在没有组标识列表的情况下,NAS层也可以根据其他信息(如SNPN信号强度、SNPN频点信息、SNPN服务提供方等等)从AS层搜索获得的各可用SNPN中选择合适的SNPN。但现有SNPN选择机制下,虽然NAS层可以不需要使用组标识列表选择SNPN(例如若NAS层本地没有配置组标识配置信息,则组标识列表无法辅助NAS层选择SNPN),但AS层在搜索可用SNPN的过程中仍然会去读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,并获取组标识列表后发送给NAS层,这就会导致不必要地增加终端耗电和降低SNPN选择效率。
因此,本公开实施例中,提出终端的NAS层可以根据实际需要,灵活地 指示AS是否需要获取包含组标识列表的系统信息块(即SIB15),即在实际不需要组标识列表辅助选择SNPN时(例如,NAS层本地没有配置组标识配置信息,或者终端不需要选择支持外部鉴权或远程配置的SNPN,或者终端本身不支持外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络和SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置这两个功能等等),向AS层发送第一指示信息,指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表,以此避免终端获取组标识列表所导致的增加终端耗电和降低SNPN选择效率的问题。
步骤101、终端的接入层实体根据第一指示信息,搜索可用SNPN,获取并向终端的非接入层实体发送第一SNPN信息,第一SNPN信息中包含一个或多个可用SNPN标识。
具体地,在终端的NAS层指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表的情况下,AS层接收到NAS层发出的SNPN选择请求后,可以在搜索可用SNPN过程中,根据第一指示信息,搜索可用SNPN,不获取组标识列表。例如,AS层可以搜索可用SNPN,并根据第一指示信息,接收系统信息块但不执行读取组标识列表的操作;或者,AS层也可以根据第一指示信息,不接收包含组标识列表的系统信息块。
因此,终端的AS层通过搜索可用SNPN的过程,可以获取到各个可用SNPN的相关信息,例如可用SNPN标识,但不获取组标识列表,搜索完成后,AS层可以将搜索结果即第一SNPN信息发送给NAS层,以供NAS层选择SNPN。
需要说明的是,上述第一指示信息可以是NAS层携带在SNPN选择请求中发送给AS层的,也可以是NAS层通过其他任意方式发送给AS层的,在此不做具体限制。
步骤102、终端的非接入层实体基于第一SNPN信息,选择SNPN。
具体地,终端的NAS层接收到AS层发送的第一SNPN信息后,即可基于该第一SNPN信息,在没有组标识列表的情况下,选择SNPN。
本公开实施例提供的SNPN选择方法,通过终端的NAS层根据实际需要向AS层发送第一指示信息,指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表,从而可以避 免终端不必要地获取组标识列表,降低了终端耗电并提高了SNPN选择效率。
可选地,终端的非接入层实体向终端的接入层实体发送第一指示信息,包括:
终端的非接入层实体若确定本地未配置组标识配置信息,则向终端的接入层实体发送第一指示信息;
其中,组标识配置信息用于指示终端的非接入层实体基于组标识列表选择SNPN。
具体地,组标识配置信息为组标识相关的配置信息,其中可以包含组标识优先级列表,组标识配置信息可用于指示终端的NAS层基于组标识列表选择SNPN,也就是说,NAS层可以根据本地是否配置有组标识配置信息确定是否需要参考组标识列表来选择SNPN。
可以理解,终端的NAS层在选择SNPN的过程中,组标识列表需要在NAS层本地配置有组标识配置信息的情况下才能发挥作用,因此,NAS层若确定本地未配置组标识配置信息,则可以确定选择SNPN时不需要参考组标识列表,在这种情况下,NAS层可以向AS层发送第一指示信息,指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表,以避免终端获取组标识列表所导致的增加终端耗电和降低SNPN选择效率的问题。
可选地,第一指示信息中包括:
显式指示终端的接入层实体不需要获取组标识列表;和/或,
指示第一SNPN类型,第一SNPN类型为普通SNPN。
具体地,终端的NAS层向AS层发送的第一指示信息中,既可以显式指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表,也可以通过SNPN类型隐式指示AS层不需要获取组标识列表。
对于上述后一种指示方式,NAS层可以指示其待选择的SNPN类型为第一SNPN类型即普通SNPN,从而AS层可以据此确定不需要获取组标识列表。其中,普通SNPN可理解为不支持外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络和SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置这两个功能的SNPN。
可选地,该方法还包括:
终端的非接入层实体确定本地配置有组标识配置信息,向终端的接入层实体发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示终端的接入层实体获取组标识列表;
终端的接入层实体根据第二指示信息,搜索可用SNPN,获取并向终端的非接入层实体发送第二SNPN信息,第二SNPN信息中包含一个或多个可用SNPN标识和每个可用SNPN标识对应的组标识列表;
终端的非接入层实体基于第二SNPN信息,选择SNPN。
具体地,为了提高指示的灵活性,以及为了避免某些情况下终端的AS层发生误判,例如,NAS层向AS层发送第一指示信息,但AS层未收到第一指示信息的情况下,AS层会默认仍然去获取组标识列表,本公开实施例中,NAS层可以在确定本地配置有组标识配置信息的情况下,向AS层发送第二指示信息,指示AS层获取组标识列表,从而AS层可以在确定接收到第二指示信息的情况下,才会去获取组标识列表,避免了AS层发生误判导致不必要地获取组标识列表从而增加终端耗电和降低SNPN选择效率的问题。
在终端的NAS层指示AS层需要获取组标识列表的情况下,AS层接收到NAS层发出的SNPN选择请求后,可以在搜索可用SNPN过程中,根据第二指示信息,搜索可用SNPN,并获取组标识列表。例如,AS层可以搜索可用SNPN,并根据第二指示信息,接收包含组标识列表的系统信息块并读取系统信息块中的组标识列表。
因此,终端的AS层通过搜索可用SNPN的过程,可以获取到各个可用SNPN的相关信息,例如可用SNPN标识,并获取到每个可用SNPN标识对应的组标识列表,搜索完成后,AS层可以将搜索结果即第二SNPN信息发送给NAS层,以供NAS层选择SNPN。
终端的NAS层接收到AS层发送的第二SNPN信息后,即可基于该第二SNPN信息,参考组标识列表和组标识配置信息,选择SNPN。
需要说明的是,上述第二指示信息可以是NAS层携带在SNPN选择请求中发送给AS层的,也可以是NAS层通过其他任意方式发送给AS层的,在此不做具体限制。
本公开实施例提供的SNPN选择方法,终端的NAS层还可以向AS层发送第二指示信息,指示AS层获取组标识列表,从而可以提高指示的灵活性,并可以避免某些情况下终端的AS层发生误判导致不必要地获取组标识列表从而增加终端耗电和降低SNPN选择效率的问题。
可选地,第二指示信息中包括:
显式指示终端的接入层实体获取组标识列表;和/或,
指示第二SNPN类型,第二SNPN类型为除第一SNPN类型以外的其他SNPN类型。
具体地,终端的NAS层向AS层发送的第二指示信息中,既可以显式指示AS层获取组标识列表,也可以通过SNPN类型隐式指示AS层获取组标识列表。
对于上述后一种指示方式,NAS层可以指示其待选择的SNPN类型为第二SNPN类型(即除第一SNPN类型以外的其他SNPN类型),例如,第二SNPN类型可以为支持外部鉴权的SNPN类型,或者支持远程配置的SNPN类型,从而AS层可以据此确定NAS层指示其需要获取组标识列表。其中,支持外部鉴权的SNPN可理解为支持外部网络鉴权信息访问SNPN网络的功能的SNPN,支持远程配置的SNPN可理解为支持SNPN用户签约数据或鉴权信息远程配置的功能的SNPN。
以下通过具体实施例对上述SNPN选择方法进行举例说明。
图2为本公开实施例提供的SNPN选择方法的实施示意图之一,如图2所示,本实施例中,终端的NAS层指示AS层不需要读取组标识列表信息,其具体步骤如下:

步骤202、终端的AS层开始搜索所有支持频带上的可用频点,并同步到对应频点上的最强小区,读取该小区的主信息块(Master Information Block, MIB)和系统信息块1(System Information Block 1,SIB1),获得SNPN标识(SNPN ID)等相关信息。
步骤203、终端的AS层将搜索到的所有可用SNPN信息上报NAS层。
步骤204、终端的NAS层根据步骤203中获得的可用SNPN信息及其他信息,执行SNPN选择,并将选定的SNPN标识通知到终端的AS层。
步骤205、终端的AS层执行小区选择过程,驻留到归属于选定SNPN的小区上。

步骤301、终端的AS层根据NAS层指示,判定在搜索可用SNPN时需要读取对应的组标识列表的系统信息块。
步骤302、终端的AS层开始搜索所有支持频带上的可用频点,并同步到对应频点上的最强小区,读取该小区的MIB和SIB1。并且额外地读取包含组标识列表的系统信息块,以获得SNPN标识(SNPN ID),及对应的组标识列表等相关信息。
步骤303、终端的AS层将搜索到的所有可用SNPN信息(包括SNPN标识及对应的组标识列表等相关信息等)上报NAS层。
步骤304、终端的NAS层根据步骤303中获得的可用SNPN信息及其他信息,执行SNPN选择,并将选定的SNPN标识通知到终端的AS层。
步骤305、终端的AS层执行小区选择过程,驻留到归属于选定SNPN的小区上。
