Abstract

The invention discloses an AMF, a network slice selection method and the AMF, which are used to provide a new network slice selection method to ensure that all PDN connections of terminal equipment can be migrated to a 5G network as much as possible. The method for selecting an AMF includes: the first AMF receives a relocation request message from a mobility management entity MME, wherein the relocation request message carries an identifier of a terminal device; Obtaining the subscription information of the terminal device, wherein the subscription information includes information of the network slice currently accessed by the terminal device; the first AMF provides the The terminal device selects the second AMF.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an AMF, a method for selecting a network slice and the AMF. Background technique

[0002] See figure 1 , is a network architecture diagram of a fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5Generation, 5G) network and a long-term evolution (LongTerm Evolution, LTE) network interoperability scenario, wherein the mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME) in the LTE network and The N26 interface between the Access Control And Mobility Management Function (AMF) in the 5G network is optional. When the network supports the N26 interface, it can support the communication between the 5G network and the LTE network. In the handover, the MME and the AMF may transfer the terminal equipment, for example, the context information (context) of the user equipment (User Equipment, UE), and the context information may include the mobility context and the session con...

Embodiment Construction

[0121] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0122] At present, there are two main methods for selecting network slices, namely, the first one: select network slices through the NSSAI provided by the terminal device; the second one: the AMF relocation method in the connection state registration process.

[0123] In the first method, the terminal device needs to associate the S-NSSAI with the default EPS bearer ID, and then the terminal device transmits the association between the S-NSSAI and the EPS bearer ID to the MME through a transparent container during the establishment of the PDN connection, and the MME then Forwarding of the transparent container to the AMF has implications for the protocols and processes of the E...
