下面结合附图，通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行详细地说明。
如图2所示，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法200，该方法可以由终端执行，换言之，该方法可以由安装在终端的软件或硬件来执行，该方法包括如下步骤。
S202：终端向第一网络发送第一消息，所述第一消息包括如下至少之一：1)标识(ID)，用于标识用户(User，特指某个用户)；2)第一指示信息，用于指示支持多用户的能力、所述终端允许多用户、支持使用用户的标识(泛指，不限定具体的用户的标识)访问网络的功能、以及使用所述标识ID(特指某个用户)访问网络中的至少一项；3)容器信息、或向认证授权计费服务器(Authentication Authorization Accounting-Server，AAA-S)发送的第一信息、或可扩展身份验证协议(Extensible Authentication Protocol，EAP)信息，所述容器信息、或所述第一信息、或所述EAP信息用于向网络传递所述标识ID和/或所述第一指示信息。
其中，所述用户User指代终端的应用层用户，或操作系统的用户，或终端使用者，或所述用户User与用户识别卡(Subscriber Identity Module，SIM)卡或SIM卡中的信息无关；所述标识ID和/或所述第一指示信息用于所述终端获取第一配置信息，或使用第一配置信息，或使第一配置信息生效；所述第一配置信息与所述用户User或所述标识ID相关。
该实施例对应于后文实施例一至实施例五的步骤1。
该实施例可以将User ID简称为标识(ID)。
该实施例中，在用户以用户身份标识(User ID)标识的身份使用终端(如UE)，比如在终端的用户界面(User Interface，UI)输入用户身份标识，用于替换缺省用户(UE中的SIM卡信息标识的用户，称为终端用户)使用终端UE，终端向第一网络(核心网)发送第一消息。终端具体可以向第一网络中的会话管理功能(Session Management Function，SMF)或接入移动管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function，AMF)发送第一消息。
可选地，所述第一消息可以包括如下至少之一：注册消息，服务请求消息，会话或连接或承载建立消息，会话或连接或承载修改消息。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法，终端向第一网络发送第一消息，使得终端可以获取第一配置信息，使用第一配置信息或使第一配置信息生效，第一配置信息与用户User或标识ID相关，使得不同的用户可以使用不同的配置使用同一终端，提升终端的利用率，提升用户体验。
可选地，作为一个实施例，所述第一消息还可以包括如下至少之一：AAA-S的地址；应用功能标识(AF ID)。
可选地，作为一个实施例，所述方法还包括：所述终端使用所述第一配置信息访问第二网络；其中，第二网络与第一网络可以是同一个网络，也可以是不同的网络。
可选地，作为一个实施例，所述方法还包括：所述终端接收所述第一网络发送的所述第一配置信息或第二指示信息；其中，所述第二指示信息用于指示使用所述第一配置信息，或使所述第一配置信息生效。
该实施例对应于后文实施例一至实施例五中更新策略的步骤，如实施例一中的步骤17b，实施例二中的步骤20b，实施例三中的步骤13，实施例五中的步骤13。
该实施例中，在终端仅接收第二指示信息的情况下，第一配置信息可以通过如下途径获取：第一配置信息可以是之前通过User ID获得，而后User ID注销后又再次使用该User ID时，因终端已经拥有第一配置信息了，网络可以不用再发送，而是指示终端使用第一配置信息或指示第一配置信息有效。
可选地，作为一个实施例，所述第一配置信息还包括网络选择信息，所述网络选择信息包括网络信息和无线接入类型(RAT Type)信息中的至少一项，所述第二网络与所述网络选择信息相关。

可选地，作为一个实施例，所述终端使用第二配置信息访问所述第二网络；其中，所述第二配置信息与所述用户无关、或与所述用户的标识无关、或与任何标识ID无关。该实施例中“用户的标识”为泛指，针对的是User ID，而非特定User ID的值。

本申请实施例提供的通信方法，有利于不同的用户可以使用不同的配置使用同一终端，提升终端的利用率，提升用户体验。
为详细说明本申请实施例提供的通信方法，以下将结合几个具体的实施例进行说明。
以下实施例中，在终端注册过程中，先完成初次认证(Primary Auth)，再对User ID执行认证，完成认证后，由AF通知网络替换策略。
实施例一
该实施例主要介绍注册相关过程。
该实施例中，UPM和AAA-P是可选网络功能，或UPM和UDM合设，或UPM和AAA-P合设，或在没有AAA-P的情况下和AAA-S合设。如图5所示，该实施例包括如下步骤：
步骤1：用户以用户身份标识(User ID)标识的身份使用终端UE，比如在UE的UI界面输入用户身份标识，用于替换缺省用户(UE中的SIM卡信息标识的用户——称为终端用户)使用终端UE。UE向核心网发起注册请求，携带终端用户标识/终端标识——以下统称终端标识，此处用UE ID1表示，比如TMSI、IMSI、SUPI、SUCI等，还可以携带用户身份标识(User ID)或用于指示标识的信息或用于发给AAA-S的信息、AAA-S addr或AF ID、指示信息1(比如在有安全上下文的情况下携带安全保护过的User ID，在无完全上下文的情况下携带指示信息1)中的至少一项，UE可以在NAS消息的对AMF透明的container中包含User ID(指示标识的信息)或与AAA-S通信的信息，AMF只需要将其转发给AAA-S即可。
步骤2：如果AMF没有相应的UE上下文信息，则使用UE ID1或UE ID2(比如IMSI、SUPI、SUCI)向UDM请求UE上下文信息，可以向UDM指示User ID或指示信息2(indication、flag等)(可以是从终端接收到的，或之前的注册过程从终端接收到的，或之前的注册过程中从步骤4或21接收到的，或基于前述指示信息得到的指示信息——比如终端指示Multiple User Capable，或UDM返回Allowed Multiple User，则AMF指示Request User Info)。
步骤3a：可选的，UDM发起和UE之间的认证过程，基于UE ID对终端进行认证(比如，基于SIM卡的AKA认证过程)。
步骤3b：步骤2后(无需认证的实施例)，或步骤3b后，可选的，有以下几种可能的实施例：
A、UDM基于收到的指示信息2或User ID向UPM(User Profile/Configuration Management Function)指示User ID和UE ID中的至少一项(可以通过NEF)，以及可选的指示信息3。
可选地，UPM基于User ID、User ID和UE ID、或指示信息3和UE ID返回指示信息4、配置ID(Profile ID)、User ID(可以有多个)、AAA-S addr中的至少一项。Profile ID指示用户配置信息，可以是多个。
B、UDM获知指示信息4：
可选地，UDM获知指示信息4，或基于User ID、基于User ID和UE ID、或基于指示信息3和UE ID获知指示信息4、Profile ID(可以有多个)、User ID(可以有多个)、AAA-S addr中的至少一项。
Profile ID的值可以是User ID。指示信息4可以用于以下至少一项：
1)与User ID以及UE ID都无关，比如指示所有终端允许或不允许相关功能——即指示网络不支持相关功能。
2)与User ID无关但与UE ID相关，比如指示该终端允许或不允许相关功能。
3)与User ID相关但与UE ID无关，比如指示允许或不允许该User ID在所有终端上使用。
4)与User ID以及UE ID都相关，比如指示允许或不允许该User ID在该终端上使用。
在UPM和UDM合设的实施例下，步骤3b为内部过程。
步骤4：步骤2后(无需认证的实施例)，或步骤3b的认证成功后，UDM向AMF返回签约信息，可以包括指示信息4、Profile ID(可以有多个)、User ID(可以有多个)、AAA-S addr中的至少一项。
步骤5：步骤1或步骤4之后(认证通过后，或无需认证的情况下)，AMF向UE发送注册接受消息。
步骤6：可选地，AMF基于从UDM接收到的信息(可以是步骤4中，或之前的注册过程中的步骤4中接收到的)或基于从UE接收到的信息，向UE发送用于获取ID的信息，以及可选的指示信息5，比如携带EAP ID Request消息以及可选的指示信息5的NAS消息，用于指示请求User ID(而非其他ID，比如UE ID、APP ID等)。
步骤7：步骤6之后，UE向AMF发送指示ID的信息，比如发送携带EAP ID Response消息的NAS消息，该Response消息携带User ID。UE可以基于步骤6中的指示信息5，或基于步骤1中UE发送了相关信息，发送前述携带User ID的Response消息(该步骤中AMF可能无法或不获取User ID，因其包含在对AMF透明的container中)。
步骤8-9：AMF基于从UDM收到User ID，或基于步骤1中从UE收到的User ID，或执行了步骤7，则以EAP ID Response消息(接收自UE，或基于User ID生成)，或以步骤1中获得的用于指示标识的信息或用于发给AAA-S的信息向AAA-S(AAA Server)(可能通过AAA-P(Proxy AAA))发送信息，AAA-S addr从终端或UDM获知，EAP ID Response消息携带User ID(比如通过AAA协议发送携带EAP ID Response消息的AAA协议消息)。还可以向AAA-S发送Profile ID、User ID、UE ID3(比如SUPI、GPSI、或MSISDN)/Mapping ID for UE—与UE ID有一对一映射关系(一个Mapping ID for UE匹配一个UE ID，反之未必成立)的其他用途的ID信息(比如，信息交互用的Transaction ID、Session ID)—中的至少一项，比如在AAA协议消息中携带。
在有AAA-P的实施例中，上述指示ID的信息、Profile ID、User ID、UE ID3由AMF通过调用AAA-P的认证操作，以这些信息作为输入参数，再由AAA-P向AAA-S发送上述AAA协议消息实现AMF向AAA-S发送上述信息。
步骤10-11：可选地，AAA-S与UPM交互(与步骤3b中的UDM与UPM交互相同)，获知指示信息4、Profile ID(可以有多个)、User ID(可以有多个)中的至少一项。
在UPM与AAA-S合设的实施例下，此为内部过程。
在获知指示信息4的实施例下，如果指示信息4指示不允许，直接跳到步骤17，AAA-S发送EAP failure消息。
AAA-S向AMF(或通过AAA-P)发送用于认证的信息，以及可选的Profile ID、UserID、UE ID中的至少一项(UE ID1、UE ID2、UE ID3、Mapping ID for UE都将在本文中统称为UE ID)，比如通过AAA协议发送携带EAP消息的AAA协议消息，AAA协议消息可选的包含Profile ID、User ID、UE ID。
在有AAA-P的实施例中，AAA-P接收到AAA-S发送的上述信息，向AMF返回上述用于认证的信息，以及可选的Profile ID、User ID、UE ID。
步骤12：AMF基于Profile ID或User ID匹配到UE ID，并向对应的UE发送用于认证的NAS消息，比如NAS消息携带收到的EAP消息。
步骤13：UE向AMF发送用于认证的信息，比如携带EAP消息的NAS消息。
步骤14-15：与步骤8-9相似，只不过转发从UE收到的用于认证的信息，而不是生成该信息。
步骤16：可选地，AAA-S和UE完成基于User ID的认证过程。
步骤17-18：AAA-S向AMF发送用于指示认证结果的信息，以及可选的Profile ID或Selected Profile ID、User ID、UE ID中的至少一项，比如用于指示认证结果的信息为EAP success消息或EAP failure消息，并通过AAA协议消息携带用于指示认证结果的信息，以及可选的Profile ID、User ID、UE ID。
可选地，AAA-S向UPM通知User ID、UE ID、Profile ID中的至少一项，UPM基于这些信息选择配置信息或与配置信息相关的Profile ID。UPM与AAA-S合设时前述为内部操作。
UPM使用配置信息、Profile ID、更新指示中的至少一项，更新UDR中的UE相关的信息(可能通过NEF)。UDR通知PCF，PCF更新UE的策略信息，如果有更新指示，则PCF无效旧配置，使用新配置，并通知UE更新信息。
在有AAA-P的实施例下，AAA-S通过AAA-P向AMF发送上述信息(比如AAA-S发送上述AAA协议消息，AAA-P向AMF返回用于指示认证结果的信息，以及可选的Profile ID、User ID、UE ID)。
步骤19：AMF基于Profile ID或User ID匹配到UE ID，并向对应的UE转发指示认证结果的信息，比如发送携带EAP success消息或EAP failure消息的NAS消息。
可选地，AMF基于认证结果，向UE发送Profile ID、User ID中的至少一项，比如通过NAS消息发送。
实施例二
该实施例主要介绍注册相关过程，由UE发起。如图6所示，该实施例包括如下步骤：
步骤1：用户以用户身份标识(User ID)标识的身份使用终端UE，比如在UE的UI界面输入用户身份标识，用于替换缺省用户(UE中的SIM卡信息标识的用户——称为终端用户)使用终端UE。UE向核心网发送Registration Request(DN Request Container,[AAA-S address])。
步骤2：如果AMF没有相应的UE上下文信息，则向UDM请求UE上下文信息。
步骤3a：可选的，UDM发起和UE之间的认证过程，基于UE ID对终端进行认证(比如，基于SIM卡的AKA认证过程)。
步骤3b：步骤2后(无需认证的实施例)，或步骤3a的认证成功后，UDM返回feature indication，指示UE签约了该业务。
步骤4：步骤2后(无需认证的实施例)，或步骤3后，UDM向AMF返回签约信息，包括feature indication，指示UE签约了该业务。该indication也可以用AAA-S Address指示。
步骤5-6：步骤1或步骤4之后(认证通过后，或无需认证的情况下)，AMF基于feature indication向AAA-S发送DN Request Container，GPSI。在AAA-P部署的情况下，发送DN Request Container，GPSI和AAA-S addr给AAA-P，由AAA-P转发给AAA-S，也可以AAA-P基于DN Request Container中的User ID(NAI格式——user-name@domain-name)获知AAA-S address。
步骤7-8：AAA-S基于GPSI和User ID执行授权操作，授权失败则执行步骤14-16。
AAA-S向AMF(或通过AAA-P)发送用于认证的信息和GPSI。
步骤9：AMF向对应的UE发送用于认证的NAS消息，比如NAS消息携带收到的DN Request Container。
步骤10：UE向AMF发送用于认证的信息，比如DN Request Container。
步骤11-12：与步骤5-6相同。
步骤13：可选地，AAA-S和UE完成基于User ID的认证过程。
步骤14-15：AAA-S向AMF发送GPSI、Profile ID和用于指示认证结果的信息。
步骤16：AMF向UE发送Registration Accept(Success/Failure)。
步骤17：AMF向PCF发送更新指示，携带Profile ID。
步骤18：可选的，AAA-S在认证成功后，基于User ID和GPSI选择使用的Profile ID，向NEF发送GPSI和Profile ID。NEF向UDR发送SUPI、Profile ID以更新UE相关的配置信息。
步骤19：UDR通知PCF配置被更新。
步骤20：PCF可以基于Profile ID获知新配置，比如从UDR中获得，也可以是UDR通知新配置信息给PCF。PCF使用新配置生成新策略。如果需要更新策略，PCF通知UE、SMF等新的策略信息。
实施例三

步骤1：AF指示会话使用Profile ID或配置信息配置业务流，可以包括AAA-S地址信息，Profile ID可用于指示需要认证用户身份，AF指示需要用户身份认证。相关信息可以通过NEF或UDM存储到UDR中，再由UDR通知到PCF，也可以直接发送给PCF。
步骤2：PCF将Profile ID通知给AMF——同时具有指示需要用户身份认证的作用(Profile ID可以是PCF生成，也可以是AF指示的)。可以发送AAA-S地址信息。
步骤3：AMF向UE发送NAS消息，指示需要认证用户身份，比如携带空的或包含EAP ID Request消息的DN Request Container。
步骤4：UE发送NAS消息，包括User ID，比如在DN Request Container中携带包含User ID的EAP ID Response消息。
步骤5-6：AMF向AAA-S发送User ID，比如发送接收自UE的DN Request Container。
步骤7：AAA-S与UE通过AMF继续基于User ID的认证过程。
