AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the field of IoT, due to its low power consumption and low complexity, the authentication process of environmental IoT terminals is inconsistent with ordinary 3GPP user equipment, which makes it difficult to select a suitable network element to perform the security authentication process, which may lead to failure of terminal equipment authentication and inability to access the network.

Method used

By adding capability information, service requester information or device type information of environmental IoT devices to the core network equipment, the mobile management device can select appropriate network elements to execute security processes based on the characteristics and capabilities of the terminal equipment.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids the failure of terminal equipment authentication, ensures that the Internet of Things terminals can access the network normally, and improves the reliability and stability of communication.
