Problems solved by technology

[0022] Using the existing technology, when both physical network elements and virtual network elements are deployed in the core network, because the wireless base station (eNodeB, NR) cannot know whether the access management network element (MME, AMF) is a physical network element or a virtual network element, Therefore, it is impossible to prioritize UEs on physical network elements, thus failing to meet the requirements of preferentially allocating UEs to physical network elements, and allocating physical network elements or virtual network elements according to UE types for selective access.

Embodiment 1

[0060] This embodiment provides a method for selecting a core network access management network element, such as Figure 4 shown, including:

[0061] Step 110, the network node obtains the virtualization attribute of the access management network element, and the virtualization attribute is used to indicate that the access management network element is a physical network element or a virtual network element;

[0062] Selecting the core network access management NE may be performed by the radio base station or the initial access management NE (the first access network management NE that receives the UE's NAS message).

[0063] In an example, the network node is a wireless base station, and the wireless base station obtains the virtualization attribute of the access management network element through at least one of the following methods:

[0064] The wireless base station obtains the virtualization attribute of the access management network element through the connection estab...

Embodiment 2

[0110] In this embodiment, the UE requests to access the network, and the wireless base station selects an access management network element for the UE.

[0111] Figure 6 It is the signaling process for the eNodeB to select the MME for the UE when the UE requests to access the 4G network in this embodiment, including:

[0112] 401. The UE initiates an RRC connection request to the eNodeB, which carries a NAS access request;

[0113] 402. The eNodeB selects an MME for the UE according to the acquired virtualization attribute of the MME and the network preference policy;

[0114] 403, the eNodeB sends an initial context request message to the selected MME, carrying a NAS access request;

[0115] 404, the MME sends a location update request to the HSS;

[0116] 405. The HSS returns a location update to the UE, wherein the subscription data of the UE is carried;

[0117] 406. The MME selects an SGW / PGW for the UE, and initiates a session establishment request to the SGW / PGW; ...

Embodiment 3

[0146] In this embodiment, the UE requests to access the network, and the initial MME reselects an MME for the UE.

[0147] Such as Figure 10 As shown, the present embodiment has the following steps:

[0148] 801. The UE initiates an RRC connection request to the eNodeB, which carries a NAS access request;

[0149] 802. The eNodeB selects an initial MME for the UE, that is, Figure 8 MME1 in , sends an initial context request message to MME1, carrying a NAS access request;

[0150] The initial MME is the first MME that receives the NAS access request. The initial MME can be a specific MME. This MME has information about other MMEs, and this MME can execute the redirection process. The initial MME may not be a specific MME, and multiple MMEs are equal, and can all complete the functions of the initial MME.

[0151] 803. MME1 sends an authentication request to the HSS;

[0152] 804. The HSS returns an authentication response to MME1, where the UE type information of the UE...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of selecting a core network access management entity, an accessing method, an accessing device, and equipment. A network node is used to acquire the virtualization attribute of the access management entity, and the virtualization attribute is used to indicate whether the access management entity is a physical entity or a virtual entity. The network node is used toselect the access management entity for user equipment UE based on the virtualization attribute of the access management entity. During the accessing of the UE, configured access preference information is acquired firstly, and the access preference information comprises the virtualized attribute of the access management entity; when the UE is used to transmit a wireless connection request to a wireless base station, the access preference information is provided. When the UE is connected with the core network by the wireless base station, the UE can be allocated to the proper access managemententity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and more specifically, to a method for selecting core network access management network elements, an access method, and corresponding devices and equipment. Background technique [0002] According to the definition of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, Third Generation Partnership Project) standard working group, the 4G system includes the wireless subsystem LTE (Long Term Evolution, long-term evolution system), the core network subsystem EPS (Evolved Packet System, evolution packet domain system). [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the 4G system. Among them, the wireless subsystem part mainly includes E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network). The core network subsystem part is also called EPC (Evolved Packet Core, evolved packet core network). It mainly includes H...
