图2为PIN架构示意图。一个PIN内包含一个或多个PIN管理网元，一个或多个PIN网关网元，以及一个或多个PIN元素(PIN elements，PINE)网元。图2中以PIN中包含一个PIN管理网元、一个PIN网关网元和两个PINE作为示例。
PIN管理网元，也称为具有管理功能的PIN元素(PIN elements with management capability，PEMC)网元，以下简称为PEMC。PEMC负责管理PIN中的元素(如PINE、PEGC)的加入、移出、资源分配等，以及可以为PIN中PINE分配PINE编号(PINE Number)。在具体实现中，PEMC可以是3GPP终端设备。其中，PINE编号是PIN内的PINE的标识信息。
PIN网关网元，也称为具有网关功能的PIN元素(PIN elements with gateway capability，PEGC)网元，以下简称为PEGC。PEGC具备网关功能，作为PIN与网络侧的中转节点，一方面负责将来自网络(如5G核心网)的消息传递给PEMC或PINE，另一方面将来自PEMC或PINE的消息传递给网络。在具体实现中，PEGC可以是3GPP终端设备。

需要说明的是，PEMC不仅具备PIN管理功能，也还可以作为普通的PINE，具备PINE的功能。同样的，PEGC不仅具备PIN管理功能，也还可以作为普通的PINE，具备PINE的功能。
本申请实施例中，PIN内的PEGC和PEMC支持定义在传输层和应用层之间的PIN元素功能(PIN element function，PEF)，而PINE可以支持PEF，也可以不支持PEF。其中，当PINE不支持PEF，则PINE也可以发起请求加入PIN,但该PINE收到与PEF有关的报文时，该PINE无法解析该报文，该PINE需要将该报文发送给PEMC/PEGC，由PEMC/PEGC将该报文进行协议转化，比如转成底层协议可以解开的报文，然后由该PINE/PEGC/PEMC将转化后的报文发送给其它PINE。
图3为本申请实施例提供的PEMC的配置流程示意图。其中，以下流程中UE1与PNF之间的交互，可以是UE1经由基站、AMF与PNF进行交互，也即UE1经由基站、AMF向PNF发送消息，PNF经由AMF、基站向UE1发送消息。
该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤301，UE1或AF向PNF发送请求消息。
该请求消息包括UE1 ID，即终端设备1的标识信息，该请求消息用于请求UE1作为PEMC。可选的，该请求消息还包括PIN ID。
需要说明的是，在实际应用中，也可以不是由UE1、AF向PNF发送该请求消息，而是由其它网元向PNF发送该请求消息，本申请不做限定。
可选的，该请求消息还用于请求建立PIN。或者在该步骤301之前，UE1或AF还向PNF发送另一个请求消息，该请求消息用于请求PIN。
步骤302a，PNF向UDM发送查询消息，该查询消息包括UE1 ID，该查询消息用于请求查询UE1是否被授权用作PEMC。
比如，已经被运营商授权能够用作PEMC的一个或多个UE的标识信息被预先存储在UDM中，则PNF通过向UDM查询，即可获知某个UE是否被授权用作PEMC。
其中，UDM中存储的能够用作PEMC的一个或多个UE的标识信息，可以是UE在注册流程中注册至UDM的。具体的，UE在注册流程中，将用于指示该UE是否被运营商授权用作PEMC的指示信息注册到UDM，从而UDM可以获知该UE是否被运营商授权能够用作PEMC，然后UDM存储已经被运营商授权能够用作PEMC的一个或多个UE的标识信息。
步骤302b，UDM向PNF发送查询结果。
该查询结果为UE1被授权用作PEMC，或者UE1未被授权用作PEMC。
步骤303，PNF记录PIN信息。
当查询结果为UE1被授权用作PEMC，则PNF记录的PIN信息包括PEMC ID和PIN ID。其中，PEMC ID即为UE1 ID，PIN ID可以是PNF分配的或者是上述步骤301的请求消息携带的。
该步骤303为可选步骤。
步骤304，PNF向AF发送通知消息。
该通知消息包括PIN ID，可选的，该通知消息还包括PEMC ID，该PEMC ID即为UE1 ID。
该步骤304为可选步骤。
步骤305，PNF向UE1发送通知消息。
该通知消息包括PIN ID和指示信息，该指示信息指示UE1作为PEMC。
上述方案，定义了PIN内的PEMC的配置过程，该PEMC可以作为PIN内的管理者，对PIN内的设备进行管理，有助于PIN的合理使用，实现了PIN的合理管理，满足了用户需求，有助于提升用户体验。
图4为本申请实施例提供的PEGC的配置流程示意图。其中，以下流程中UE2与PNF之间的交互，可以是UE2经由基站、AMF与PNF进行交互，也即UE2经由基站、AMF向PNF发送消息，PNF经由AMF、基站向UE2发送消息。
该图4的实施例是在上述图3的实施例执行完成之后再执行，也即UE1已经被配置为PIN内的PEMC。
该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤401，UE2或AF向PNF发送请求消息。
该请求消息包括UE2 ID，该请求消息用于请求UE2作为PEGC。
需要说明的是，在实际应用中，也可以不是由UE2、AF向PNF发送该请求消息，而是由其它网元向PNF发送该请求消息，本申请不做限定。
步骤402a，PNF向UDM发送查询消息，该查询消息包括UE2 ID，该查询消息用于请求查询UE2是否被授权用作PEGC。
比如，已经被运营商授权能够用作PEGC的一个或多个UE的标识信息被预先存储在UDM中，则PNF通过向UDM查询，即可获知某个UE是否被授权用作PEGC。
其中，UDM中存储的能够用作PEGC的一个或多个UE的标识信息，可以是UE在注册流程中注册至UDM的。具体的，UE在注册流程中，将用于指示该UE是否被运营商授权用作PEGC的指示信息注册到UDM，从而UDM可以获知该UE是否被运营商授权能够用作PEGC，然后UDM存储已经被运营商授权能够用作PEGC的一个或多个UE的标识信息。
步骤402b，UDM向PNF发送查询结果。
该查询结果为UE2被授权用作PEGC，或者UE2未被授权用作PEGC。
步骤403，PNF向UE2发送通知消息。
其中，当查询结果为UE2被授权用作PEGC，该通知消息包括PIN ID、PEMC ID和指示信息，该指示信息UE2作为PEGC。其中，PEMC ID即为UE1 ID。
步骤404，UE2向UE1(即PEMC)发送请求消息，该请求消息包括UE2 ID和PIN ID，该请求消息用于请求加入该PIN。
步骤405，UE1向UE2发送响应消息，该响应消息用于指示同意UE2加入PIN或拒绝UE2加入PIN。
步骤406，UE2向PNF发送更新消息。
当上述步骤405的响应消息指示同意UE2加入PIN，则该更新消息包括PEGC ID和PIN ID，该更新消息用于请求更新PNF记录的PIN信息，该PEGC ID即为UE2 ID。
当上述步骤405的响应消息指示拒绝UE2加入PIN，则可以不执行步骤406和407。
步骤407，PNF更新PIN信息。
PNF根据更新消息中的PEGC ID和PIN ID，更新记录的PIN信息，更新后的PIN包括PIN ID、PEMC ID和PEGC ID。
上述步骤406和步骤407为可选步骤。
上述方案，定义了PIN内的PEGC的配置过程，该PEGC可以作为PIN内的网关，实现PIN内的设备与网络之间的消息中转，有助于PIN的合理使用，实现了PIN的合理管理，满足了用户需求，有助于提升用户体验。
上述图4的实施例中，被配置为PEMC的UE(即UE1)与被配置为PEGC的UE(即UE2)是不同的UE，在另一种方法中，PIN内的PEMC和PEGC也可以是同一个UE，比如均是上述UE1，则在该场景中，不需要执行上述图4的实施例，而是在上述图3的实施例基础上再将UE1同时配置为PEGC。在一种实现方法中，上述步骤301的请求消息还用于请求UE1作为PEGC，上述步骤302a的查询消息还用于查询UE1是否被授权用作PEGC，上述步骤302b的查询结果还用于指示UE1被授权用作PEGC，步骤303记录的PIN信息还包括PEGC的标识信息(即UE1的标识信息)，步骤305的指示信息还用于指示该UE1作为PEGC，或者步骤305的通知消息还包含另一个指示信息，用于指示该UE1作为PEGC。在另一种实现方法中，在步骤305之后，UE1或AF向PNF再发送一个请求消息，用于请求UE1作为PEGC，然后PNF向UDM发送查询消息，该查询消息包括UE1 ID，该查询消息用于请求查询UE1是否被授权用作PEGC。然后UDM向PNF发送查询结果，该查询结果为UE1被授权用作PEGC，然后PNF向UE1发送通知消息，该通知消息包括PIN ID、PEGC ID和指示信息，该指示信息UE1作为PEGC，该PEGC ID即为UE1 ID。
在另一种实现方法中，还可以是由PEMC选择一个UE作为PEGC。比如，PEMC选择一个UE，以下以UE4为例，该UE4可以是已经与PEMC建立通信连接(比如WiFi、蓝牙)，或者也可以是未与PEMC建立通信连接。然后PEMC向PNF发送请求消息，用于请求UE4作为PEGC，PNF向UDM发送查询消息，该查询消息包括UE4 ID，该查询消息用于请求查询UE4是否被授权用作PEGC。然后UDM向PNF发送查询结果，该查询结果为UE4被授权用作PEGC，然后PNF向UE4和PEMC发送通知消息，该通知消息包括PIN ID、PEGC ID和指示信息，该指示信息UE4作为PEGC，该PEGC ID即为UE4 ID。
图5(a)为本申请实施例提供的PINE的加入流程示意图。其中，以下流程中UE2与PNF之间的交互，可以是UE2经由基站、AMF与PNF进行交互，也即UE2经由基站、AMF向PNF发送消息，PNF经由AMF、基站向UE2发送消息。
该图5(a)的实施例是在上述图3、图4的实施例执行完成之后再执行，也即UE1已经被配置为PIN内的PEMC，UE2已经被配置为PIN内的PEGC。该图5(a)的实施例中，UE1、UE2和UE3均在同一个PIN范围内，相互之间通过D2D方式进行通信。
该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤501a，UE3向UE1(即PEMC)发送请求消息，该请求消息包括UE3 ID和PIN ID，该请求消息用于请求UE3加入PIN。
该UE3可以是一个3GPP终端设备，也可以是非3GPP终端设备。
作为一种实现方法，UE1对外广播发送PEMC ID(即UE1 ID)和PIN ID，从而UE3可以获取到PEMC ID和PIN ID，当UE3确定希望加入该PIN，则根据PEMC ID，向UE1发送携带PIN ID和UE3 ID的请求消息。
在步骤501a之后，可以按照以下方法一(涉及步骤502a至步骤506a)执行，也可以按照以下方法二(涉及步骤507a至步骤512a)执行。该方法一与方法二的主要区别在于：方法一是由PEMC为PINE分配PINE编号，方法二是由PEGC为PINE分配PINE编号。
步骤502a，UE1允许UE3加入PIN，则为UE3分配PINE编号。
其中，PINE编号是PIN内的PINE的标识信息。因此为UE3分配PINE编号，指的是为UE3分配在PIN内的唯一标识。
作为一种实现方法，UE1根据以下方法判断是否允许UE3加入PIN：UE1向UDM发送查询消息，该查询消息包括UE3 ID，该查询消息用于查询UE3是否被授权用作PINE，UDM向UE1发送查询结果。当该查询结果为UE3被授权用作PINE，则UE1确定允许UE3加入PIN，或者当查询结果为UE3未被授权用作PINE，则UE1确定不允许UE3加入PIN。
步骤503a，UE1向UE3发送响应消息，该响应消息包括PINE编号和PIN ID。
步骤504a，UE1向UE2(即PEGC)发送更新消息，该更新消息包括PIN ID，PINE ID和PINE编号。
该PINE ID即为UE3 ID。
步骤505a，UE1或UE2向PNF发送更新消息，该更新消息包括PIN ID，PINE ID和PINE编号。
步骤506a，PNF更新PIN信息。
PNF根据更新消息中的PIN ID，PINE ID和PINE编号，更新记录的PIN信息，更新后的PIN包括PIN ID、PEMC ID、PEGC ID、PINE ID(即UE3 ID)和UE3的PINE编号。
上述步骤504a至步骤506a为可选步骤。
步骤507a，UE1允许UE3加入PIN，则向PEGC发送更新消息，该更新消息包括PIN ID和PINE ID，该PINE ID即为UE3 ID。
其中，UE1判断是否允许UE3加入PIN的方法参考步骤502a的描述。
步骤508a，PEGC为UE3分配PINE编号。
其中，PINE编号是PIN内的PINE的标识信息。因此为UE3分配PINE编号，指的是为UE3分配在PIN内的唯一标识。
