Embodiment 1 of the present invention:

The PEGC registration method in the embodiment of this application includes the following steps:

Step 41: PEMC sends a second request message (such as Registration Request) to PINMF. The second request message is used to request the following: PEGC (here is the device that wants to be registered as PEGC) to register with PINMF; the PEGC registration into the PIN. The second request message includes: PEGC device information. In addition, the second request message may also include: the third identification of PEMC in the PIN.

Before step 41, PEGC needs to establish a direct connection with PEMC. Exemplarily, the direct connection may be PC5 (communication interface between terminals) direct connection, Sidelink (side link) direct connection, wifi connection, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connection, Bluetooth connection wait. In one implementation, PEMC can implement the initial discovery of PEGC based on manual user input or a third-party application. In one implementation, PEMC can obtain PEGC's address information through user-based manual input or third-party applications. In one implementation, the PEMC functionality is part of a third-party application.

In addition, before step 41, PEMC also needs to obtain the equipment information of PEGC.

5) The second identifier used to identify PEGC. For example, the second identification of PEGC may be the identification of PEGC in the 5G network.

Step 42: PINMF sends a second response message to PEMC according to the PEGC device information. The second response message includes first information, and the first information includes at least one of the following: URI; PIN identification information; PINMF address information. The URI is used to indicate first indication information associated with PEGC and second indication information indicating PEGC registration with PINMF.

Before step 42, the PINMF may also send a third request message to the UDM or UDR. The third request message is used to query the trusted members of the PEMC. The third request message includes the PEMC in the PIN. the third identification in; the PINMF receives the third response message sent by the UDM or UDR, and the third response message includes: a trusted member of the PEMC, or whether the PEGC is a trusted member of the PEMC Member verification results. If the PEGC does not belong to a trusted member of the PEMC, the PINMF sends a second response message to the PEMC, where the second response message includes a URI.

In this application, the trust member can be determined by the PEMC user signing information, and the trust member includes itself (that is, the PEMC), and other trusted PEMC or PEGC. The trust between any two PEMCs included in the trust members is mutual. Examples of trust members are the user's multiple phones for the wearable case, family members for the smart home case, and partner members for the smart office case.

Step 43: If the fourth response message includes a URI, PEMC sends a seventh request message (such as Registration Required Request) to PEGC. The seventh request message is used to indicate the following: Requesting the PEGC to register with PINMF ;Request PEGC to register into the PIN network. The seventh request message includes: the URI.

Step 44: PEGC sends the seventh response message (such as Registration Required Response) to PEMC.

Step 45: PEGC closes the direct connection to PEMC. This step is optional and can be performed or not. The advantage of turning it off is that it can save the power consumption of PEGC or PEMC.

Step 46: PEGC enters the connection state.

For example, the connection state may be 5GMM-CONNECTED mode or CM-CONNECTED mode.

3) Send a service request (SERVICE REQUEST) message to the network side;

5) Receive the paging (page) message sent by the network side;

6) Request the lower layers to resume a suspended connection.

Step 47: PEGC sends a first request message (such as Registration Request) to PINMF through the 5G network based on the URI. The first request message is used to request the PEGC to register in PINMF.

Optionally, the first request message is at least one of the following:

Registration request (REGISTRATION REQUEST) message;

Service request (SERVICE REQUEST) message;

Terminal configuration update (generic UE CONFIGUATION UPDATE) message;

Step 49: PINMF sends a first response message to PEGC. The first response message includes the first identification of the PEGC in the PIN. The first identification is used to identify the PEGC as having the gateway function in the PIN. communication equipment. In addition, the first response message may also include a PIN identification, etc.
