Description

Background Art

[0002] In the existing 5G network, the exclusive service identifier for serving and guaranteeing users is usually statically issued by the AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) based on the regional policy. However, the AMF cannot know the start time of service guarantee, thus resulting in a disconnection between the issuance of the exclusive service identifier and the start of the actual service guarantee process.

[0003] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a new method and device for displaying service identifiers.

[0015] The sending of a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment includes:

[0016] In response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment, determine whether there is an exclusive service identity for the target user equipment in the user equipment context.

[0017] If there is an exclusive service identity for the target user equipment, determine whether the current service process matches the distribution condition of the exclusive service identity.

[0018] If it matches, send the first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment.

[0019] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining whether there is an exclusive service identity for the target user equipment in the user equipment context, the method further includes:

[0020] If there is no exclusive service identity for the target user equipment, obtain a general service identity corresponding to the location area where the target user equipment is located.

[0021] Send the general service identity to the target user equipment.

[0022] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the sending of the first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment includes:

[0023] Insert the exclusive service identity into the non-access stratum message and send the non-access stratum message to the target user equipment.

[0024] Wherein, the first service guarantee policy is carried in the non-access stratum message.

[0025] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after sending the first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment, the method further includes:

[0026] In response to a service quality guarantee termination message for the target user equipment, send an identification invalidation notice to the target user equipment;

[0027] So that the target user equipment removes the exclusive service identification.

[0038] In the technical solutions provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the exclusive service identification for the target user device, instead of directly sending the exclusive service identification, when receiving the first service guarantee policy update request for the target user device, a first service guarantee policy update notification carrying the exclusive service identification and the first service guarantee policy is sent to the target user device. As a result, when the target user device enables the first service guarantee policy, it displays the exclusive service identification. Thus, on the one hand, it can ensure that the issuance of the exclusive service identification is synchronized with the start of the actual service guarantee process, avoiding the situation where the period of displaying the exclusive service identification does not match the period when the actual service guarantee is enabled, and ensuring the consistency of the user experience; on the other hand, it enables the target user device to display the exclusive service identification while enabling the new service guarantee policy, allowing users to intuitively see the service privileges and quality levels they currently enjoy, enhancing the user's perception and satisfaction.

[0050] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0051] First, the communication terms involved in the present disclosure are explained:

[0052] AM-PCF (Access and Mobility Management Policy Control Function) is a key component in the 5G core network architecture. It is mainly responsible for formulating, managing, and providing policy rules related to access and mobility. These rules are used to control how user equipment (UE) moves between different network environments and ensure service continuity and quality during this process.

[0053] AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) is a key network element in the 5G core network (5GC). It is mainly responsible for handling functions such as access control, mobility management, and location tracking of user equipment (UE).

[0054] SMF (Session Management Function) is also a key component in the 5G core network architecture, mainly responsible for handling management tasks related to user sessions or connections. It is the core part of the 5G system for supporting the establishment, maintenance, and release of communication sessions between user equipment (UE) and external data networks.

[0055] SM-PCF (Session Management Policy Control Function) emphasizes the cooperation mechanism between SMF and PCF, that is, through this cooperation, fine-grained management of user sessions and service quality can be achieved.

[0056] NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function) is also an important component in the 5G core network architecture, aiming to provide network data analysis services. As a native function of the 5G system, it supports collecting data from the network and providing insights and support for various network functions and services by analyzing this data.

[0057] QoS (Quality of Service) refers to a series of technologies and service mechanisms used in network technology to manage and optimize the quality of data transmission. It aims to ensure that specific types of data flows can obtain the required network resources to meet the application's requirements for performance metrics such as latency, jitter, packet loss rate, and bandwidth. Through QoS, network administrators can prioritize the processing of packets for certain critical applications, such as voice calls or video conferences, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of these services.

[0058] In the related art, generally, the following process is used to issue a dedicated service identifier (which can be abbreviated as LOGO) for service guarantee users:

[0059] User subscription policy generation: AM-PCF generates the content of the LOGO based on the user's package information. This LOGO usually represents the user's service guarantee level or type;

[0060] Static policy distribution: AMF statically obtains the LOGO from AM-PCF based on the regional policy and distributes it to the user equipment (UE). Here, "static" means that this process does not consider the real-time network status or changes in the user's current service requirements;

[0061] QoS triggering in session management: When the user initiates a service request, the SMF (Session Management Function) is responsible for handling the session management tasks related to this request, including QoS configuration according to the policies provided by SM-PCF. In this step, SM-PCF only interacts with SMF and does not communicate directly with AMF, which means that the information about QoS bearer establishment will not be automatically passed to AMF.

[0062] Due to the lack of a coordination mechanism between SMF and AMF in the existing network, there is a disconnection between the distribution of the LOGO and the actual service guarantee process (such as the establishment of QoS bearer). In particular, AMF does not know the exact start time of service guarantee. Therefore, in the NWDAF dynamic guarantee scenario, it is impossible to ensure the synchronization of the distribution of the LOGO and the establishment of QoS bearer, thus affecting the consistency and accuracy of the user experience.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, first, a method for displaying a service identifier is provided, which at least overcomes the defect that there is a disconnection between the distribution of the dedicated service identifier and the start of the actual service guarantee process in the related art.

[0064] Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for displaying a service identifier in the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The execution subject of this method for displaying a service identifier can be AMF.

[0065] Refer to Figure 1, A service identification display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S110, obtaining a dedicated service identification for a target user device; the dedicated service identification is generated based on the service subscription data of the target user;

[0067] Step S120, in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user device, sending a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user device; the first service guarantee policy update notification carries the dedicated service identification and the first service guarantee policy; the first service guarantee policy is configured according to the service subscription data; so that the target user device displays the dedicated service identification while enabling the first service guarantee policy.

[0068] In Figure 1 In the technical solution provided by the illustrated embodiment, after obtaining the dedicated service identification for the target user device, instead of immediately sending the dedicated service identification, when receiving a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user device, a first service guarantee policy update notification carrying the dedicated service identification and the first service guarantee policy is sent to the target user device, so that the target user device displays the dedicated service identification while enabling the first service guarantee policy. Thus, on the one hand, it can ensure that the issuance of the dedicated service identification is synchronized with the start of the actual service guarantee process, thereby avoiding the situation where the period of displaying the dedicated service identification does not match the period of actual service guarantee activation, and ensuring the consistency of the user experience; on the other hand, it enables the target user device to display the dedicated service identification while enabling the new service guarantee policy, allowing the user to intuitively see the service privileges and quality levels they are currently enjoying, enhancing the user's perception and satisfaction.

[0069] The following Figure 1 details the specific implementation process of each step:

[0070] Before step S110, it should be noted that the target user refers to a service guarantee user, and each target user is associated with a target user device UE.

[0071] Specifically, service guarantee users refer to those users who enjoy specific service quality guarantees according to the agreement between them and the service provider. The business requirements of such users usually have strict requirements on network performance. For example, it is necessary to ensure characteristics such as low latency, high bandwidth, and high reliability to support their critical business operations or applications. The definition of service guarantee users and related service content are often reflected in their service subscription data, which details the service level agreements (SLAs, Service Level Agreements), priority service access, and other exclusive rights they enjoy.

[0072] UDM (Unified Data Management) can provide the service subscription data of the target user. Exemplarily, the service subscription data refers to the detailed information about the subscription relationship and terms between the target user and the service provider regarding a specific service or a set of services. Such data usually includes the types of services that the target user can access, service quality, usage restrictions, billing information, and other relevant business rules and preference settings, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereto.

[0073] Thus, the AM-PCF can generate a dedicated service identifier for the target user's device based on the service subscription data of the target user. Exemplarily, the above dedicated service identifier can be a scenario guarantee icon, a VIP level icon, etc. Different service subscription data can be associated with different dedicated service identifiers, which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereto.

[0074] After generating the dedicated service identifier for the target user's device, the AM-PCF can send a logo pre-configuration message (Logo Pre-Config) to the AMF through the Namf_Communication service interface. The logo pre-configuration message may include the following content:

[0075] ① UE identifier, for example: SUPI (Subscription Permanent Identifier) or 5G-GUTI (Globally Unique Temporary Identifier for 5G);

[0076] ② LOGO content, for example: the LOGO itself, or, the LOGO resource, for example: a dynamically resolvable LOGO URL (Uniform Resource Locator);

[0077] ③ LOGO distribution condition, for example: the start of the service guarantee process, the start of the billing cycle, the start of the service guarantee policy, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations thereto.

[0078] In addition, the SM-PCF can configure a first service guarantee policy (i.e., the first QoS policy) for the target user equipment according to the service subscription data of the above-mentioned target user. Specifically, the SM-PCF can analyze the specific service requirements of the target user based on the collected service subscription data, and accordingly formulate a QoS policy and service guarantee rules suitable for the target user. For example, specific QoS flows can be defined, bandwidth limits can be set, and maximum values of delay and jitter can be specified, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on this.

[0079] After generating the first service guarantee policy, the SM-PCF can send the first service guarantee policy to the SMF. Furthermore, the SMF can send a first service guarantee policy update request to the AMF. Specifically, the first service guarantee policy update request can be an Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request, and the configured first service guarantee policy can be carried in this request to trigger the AMF to modify the PDU session (a logical connection established between the UE and the data network, which allows the UE to send and receive data, and each PDU session can contain one or more QoS flows, and these flows define different priorities and service quality requirements for different types of data), so as to synchronously update the above-mentioned first service quality guarantee policy to the target user equipment UE.

[0080] Next, refer to Figure 1 , in step S110, obtain the exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment.

[0081] In this step, the AMF can obtain the exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment sent by the AM-PCF.

[0082] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 shows a schematic flow diagram of how the AMF obtains the exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment in the embodiment of the present disclosure, including step S201-step S203:

[0083] In step S201, receive an identity pre-configuration message for the target user equipment.

[0084] In this step, the AMF can receive the above-mentioned identity pre-configuration message for the target user equipment. The identity pre-configuration message can carry the device identifier and exclusive service identifier of the target user equipment, or the identity resources corresponding to the device identifier and exclusive service identifier of the target user equipment are carried in the identity pre-configuration message. Exemplarily, the identity resources can be elements for positioning or generating the exclusive service identifier, such as: identity components or identity links, which can be set according to the actual situation, and the present disclosure does not make special limitations on this.

[0085] In step S202, determine the exclusive service identifier based on the identifier pre-configuration message and temporarily store the exclusive service identifier.

[0086] The AMF can receive the above identifier pre-configuration message. When the identifier pre-configuration message contains the identifier itself, the exclusive service identifier can be directly determined. When the identifier pre-configuration message contains the identifier resource, the exclusive service identifier can be determined based on the identifier resource. After that, the exclusive service identifier can be temporarily stored in the UE context and not sent down for the time being.

[0087] Then refer to Figure 1 , in step S120, in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment, send a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment, so that the target user equipment can display the exclusive service identifier while enabling the first service guarantee policy.

[0088] In this step, when the AMF receives the first service guarantee policy update request (Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request) for the target user equipment sent by the SMF, it can send a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment. Among them, the first service guarantee policy update notification can carry the above exclusive service identifier and the first service guarantee policy.

[0089] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 shows a schematic flowchart of sending a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including steps S301 - S303:

[0090] In step S301, in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment, determine whether there is an exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment in the user equipment context.

[0091] In this step, when the AMF receives the Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request sent by the SMF, it can determine whether there is an exclusive service identifier for the above target user equipment in the user equipment context.

[0092] Among them, the User Equipment Context (UE context) refers to the set of all information and states related to a specific user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication network. These information are crucial for managing and maintaining the connection of the UE in the network. The UE context contains all necessary data from the moment the UE accesses the network until it disconnects, which is used to support various network functions and services.

[0093] In step S302, if there is an exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment, determine whether the current service process matches the issuance conditions of the exclusive service identifier.

[0094] In this step, if there is an exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment in the UE context, it can be determined whether the current service process matches the issuance conditions of the above-mentioned exclusive service identifier. Among them, the current service process refers to the specific progress of the network service event executed for the target user equipment. For example: PDU session establishment or modification, service quality policy update, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation, and this disclosure does not make special limitations.

[0095] If there is no exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment in the UE context, a general service identifier corresponding to the location area where the target user equipment is located (that is, the general service identifier corresponding to the ordinary user equipment in this location area) can be obtained and the general service identifier is sent to the target user equipment.

[0096] In step S303, if it matches, send a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment.

[0097] In this step, if the current service process matches the issuance conditions of the above-mentioned exclusive service identifier, a first service guarantee policy update notification can be sent to the target user equipment. Specifically, the above-mentioned exclusive service identifier can be inserted into the non-access stratum message (for example: PDU Session Modification Command, which carries the above-mentioned first service guarantee policy) forwarded to the target user equipment, and then the non-access stratum message is sent to the target user equipment.

[0098] Thus, the target user equipment can display the exclusive service identifier while enabling the first service guarantee policy, so as to achieve the time synchronization between the display of the exclusive service identifier and the start of the actual service guarantee process.

[0099] In an alternative embodiment, after sending the first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment, the present disclosure also provides a solution for handling the invalidation of the identifier. Exemplarily, when the service quality guarantee for the target user equipment expires, the SMF may send a service quality guarantee termination message to the AMF. When the AMF receives this service quality guarantee termination message, it may send an identifier invalidation notice to the target user equipment, so that the target user equipment removes the above-mentioned exclusive service identifier.

[0100] Based on this technical solution, when the service quality guarantee policy of the target user equipment expires, the device can be timely notified to stop displaying the exclusive service identifier and adjust its network usage mode accordingly. This not only helps to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the user experience, but also helps the operator effectively manage resources and service level agreements (SLAs), avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings or expectations gaps. In addition, this mechanism supports dynamic and flexible service management, enabling quick responses based on the user's real-time subscription status.

[0101] In an alternative embodiment, after sending the first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment, the present disclosure also provides a processing mechanism for updating the exclusive service identifier. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 shows a schematic flowchart of how to update the exclusive service identifier in the embodiments of the present disclosure, including step S401 - step S402:

[0102] In step S401, a new exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment is obtained.

[0103] In this step, after the service subscription data of the target user is updated, the AM-PCF may generate a new exclusive service identifier for the target user equipment based on the service subscription update data and send it to the AMF. Thus, the AMF may temporarily store this new exclusive service identifier.

[0104] In addition, the SM-PCF may configure a second service guarantee policy (i.e., the second QoS policy) for the target user equipment according to the above-mentioned service subscription update data of the target user. After generating the first service guarantee policy, the SM-PCF may send the first service guarantee policy to the SMF, and the SMF may send a second service guarantee policy update request to the AMF.

[0105] It should be noted that other specific implementation manners of step S401 may refer to the above step S110 and will not be elaborated here.

[0106] In step S402, in response to a second service guarantee policy update request for a target user equipment, a second service guarantee policy update notification is sent to the target user equipment, so that the target user equipment can display a new exclusive service identifier while enabling the second service guarantee policy.

[0107] In this step, when the AMF receives the second service guarantee policy update request sent by the SMF, it can send a second service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment. The second service guarantee policy update notification can carry the new exclusive service identifier and the second service guarantee policy. Thus, the target user equipment can display the new exclusive service identifier while enabling the second service guarantee policy.

[0108] It should be noted that other specific implementation manners of step S402 can refer to the above step S120 and will not be elaborated here.

[0109] Thus, on the one hand, by sending a notification containing the new exclusive service identifier and the service guarantee policy to the target user equipment, it can ensure that users always enjoy the service quality matching their latest subscriptions. Displaying the new exclusive service identifier not only improves the user's perception but also enhances the transparency of the service quality change for the user; on the other hand, allowing the service guarantee policy to be flexibly adjusted according to the updated data of the user's service subscription enables the network to quickly respond to the user's change requirements (such as upgrading packages, adding additional services, etc.). This flexibility helps the operator provide more personalized and customized services to meet the needs of different user groups.

[0110] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 shows the overall flowchart of the service identifier display method in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including step S501-step S503:

[0111] In step S501, the AM-PCF sends a LOGO pre-configuration message to the AMF through the Namf-communication interface; the LOGO pre-configuration message contains the LOGO content and the LOGO distribution condition;

[0112] In step S502, the SMF sends a first service guarantee policy update request (Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request) to the AMF;

[0113] In step S503, the AMF determines whether there is LOGO content in the UE context. If there is LOGO content and the above LOGO distribution condition is satisfied, the LOGO is sent to the UE through a NAS message.

[0114] Based on the above technical solutions, the present disclosure has at least the following technical effects:

[0115] First, it can ensure that the distribution of the exclusive service logo is synchronized with the start of the actual service guarantee process, thus avoiding the situation where the period of displaying the exclusive service logo does not match the period when the actual service guarantee is enabled, and ensuring the consistency of the user experience;

[0116] Second, it enables the target user device to display the exclusive service logo while enabling the new service guarantee policy, allowing users to intuitively see the service privileges and quality levels they are currently enjoying, enhancing the user's perception and satisfaction.

[0117] The present disclosure also provides a service logo display device, Figure 6 showing a schematic structural diagram of the service logo display device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; as Figure 6 shown, the service logo display device 600 may include a service logo acquisition module 610 and a distribution module 620. Among them:

[0118] The service logo acquisition module 610 is configured to acquire an exclusive service logo for the target user device; the exclusive service logo is generated based on the service subscription data of the target user;

[0119] The distribution module 620 is configured to, in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user device, send a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user device; the first service guarantee policy update notification carries the exclusive service logo and the first service guarantee policy; the first service guarantee policy is configured according to the service subscription data; so that the target user device displays the exclusive service logo while enabling the first service guarantee policy. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the service logo acquisition module 610 acquiring the exclusive service logo for the target user device includes:

[0120] Receiving an identity pre-configuration message for the target user device; the identity pre-configuration message carries the device identity of the target user device and the exclusive service logo, or, the identity pre-configuration message carries the device identity of the target user device and the identity resource corresponding to the exclusive service logo;

[0121] Determining the exclusive service logo based on the identity pre-configuration message and temporarily storing the exclusive service logo.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the identity pre-configuration message further includes the distribution condition of the exclusive service logo;

[0123] The sending module 620 sends a first service guarantee policy update notification to the target user equipment in response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment, including:

[0124] In response to a first service guarantee policy update request for the target user equipment, determine whether there is a dedicated service identifier for the target user equipment in the user equipment context;
