[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will describe embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner without conflict.

[0037] The steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a group of computer-executable instructions. Moreover, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown.

[0038] A service platform in a mobile network needs to provide certain specific services according to the actual position of a user. The above service platform mainly has two types: AS or GMLC.

[0039] Figure 1 is a networking diagram of 4G network and 5G network, as Figure 1 shown, the existing AS or the existing GMLC is a platform using 4G network, and the interworking function entity (IWF) and the access and mobility management function entity (AMF) are function entities in the 5G system. Since the user is a 4G user, accordingly, the HSS of the 4G user also uses the 4G network.

[0040] When the 4G user accesses from the 4G network, the GMLC queries the current registered MME address of the user from the HSS, the MME queries the 4G network location information and returns to the HSS, and the HSS forwards the 4G network location information to the GMLC.

[0041] When the 4G user accesses from the 5G stand alone (SA) network, the AS queries the location information of the network where the user is located from the HSS, the AS and the HSS only support 4G network location information query, do not support 5G network location information query, resulting in that the AS cannot obtain the 5G network location information of the user.

[0042] When the 4G user accesses from the 5G SA network, the GMLC and the HSS only support 4G network location information query, resulting in that the GMLC cannot obtain the 5G network location information of the user.

[0043] Figure 2 A flowchart of a location information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method can be applied to the case that the 4G user accesses from the 5G SA network, and the case of acquiring the 5G network location information. The method can be executed by a location information acquisition device provided by the present application, and the location information acquisition device can be realized by software and / or hardware.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the location information acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly includes steps S11, S12 and S13.

[0045] S11, receiving response data sent by a home subscriber server (HSS), wherein the response data carries a mobile management entity (MME) host name.

[0049] In an example implementation, in a case that the first network element is an application server (AS), the receiving the response data sent by a home subscriber server (HSS) comprises: receiving first user data response (UDA) sent by the HSS.

[0050] Further, before the receiving the first user data response (UDA) sent by the HSS, the method further comprises: sending a first user data request (UDR) message to the HSS, wherein the first UDR message is used to instruct the HSS to send a first insert data request (IDR) message to an interworking function entity (IWF), the first IDR message is used to request location information from the IWF, and to send a first insert data response (IDA) message to the HSS, the first IDA message carrying a MME host name and empty location information.

[0051] Further, in a case that the first network element is an application server (AS), the obtaining the location information of the 5G network to which the user is located comprises: sending a second UDR message to the IWF, wherein the second UDR message is used to instruct the IWF to send a first location service request message to an access and mobility management function entity (AMF), the first location service request message being used to instruct the AMF to query the location information of the 5G network to which the user is located, and to send a first location service response message to the IWF, the first location service response message carrying the location information of the 5G network to which the user is located; and receiving a second UDA message sent by the IWF, wherein the second UDA message carries the location information of the 5G network to which the user is located.

[0052] In an example implementation, in a case that the first network element is a mobile network location gateway (GMLC), the receiving the response data sent by a home subscriber server (HSS) comprises: receiving a location service routing information response (RIA) message sent by the HSS.

[0053] Further, before the receiving the location service routing information response (RIA) message sent by the HSS, the method further comprises: sending a location service routing information request (RIR) message to the HSS, wherein the RIR message is used to instruct the HSS to query location service routing information, and to send a RIA message to the GMLC, the RIA message carrying the location service routing information, the location service routing information comprising a MME host name.

[0054] Further, in the case that the first network element is a mobile network positioning gateway GMLC, the location information of the 5G network where the user is located is acquired, including: sending a location positioning request message to the AMF through a service interface, the location positioning message request being used to instruct the AMF to query the location information of the 5G network where the user is located, and sending a location positioning response message to the GMLC; and receiving the location positioning response message sent by the AMF, the location positioning response message carrying the location information of the 5G network where the user is located.

[0055] In one application example, the AS sends a first user data request (User-Data-Request, UDR) message to the HSS, the HSS feeds back the MME host name currently registered by the user to the AS, and the AS determines that the MME host name is an IWF host name. The AS sends a second UDR message to the IWF again, and the second UDR message is used to instruct the IWF to query the location information of the 5G network where the user is located. Figure 3 is a flowchart of the AS acquiring the location information of the user in the 5G network provided by the embodiment of the application, as Figure 3 shown, the AS acquiring the location information of the user in the 5G network provided by the embodiment of the application mainly includes the following steps:

[0057] S302, the HSS sends a first IDR message to the IWF to query the location information of the user.

[0058] S303, the IWF returns its own host name in the first IDA message to the HSS.

[0059] At the same time, the IWF sets the feedback location information as empty and carries the first IDA message to return to the HSS.

[0060] S304, the HSS returns a first UDA message to the AS, and the MME host name carried in the first UDA message is the host name of the IWF.

[0061] S305, the AS compares the MME host name received from the HSS with the IWF host name configured by the AS, and determines that the two are the same and other location information parameter values are empty. The AS determines that the user is registered in the 5G network.

[0064] S308, the AMF returns the Namf_Location Service_Ack to the IWF, carrying the location information of the user in the 5G network.

[0065] S309, the IWF returns the second UDA to the AS, returning the location information of the user in the 5G network obtained from the AMF to the AS.

[0066] In one application example, the GMLC queries the user location information from the HSS, the HSS returns the MME host name currently registered by the user to the GMLC, and the GMLC judges whether the MME host name is the IWF host name. The GMLC queries the location information of the user in the 5G network from the IWF again.

[0069] S502, the HSS returns a location service routing information response (LCS-Routing-Info-Answer, RIA) message, carrying the MME host name.

[0070] S403, the GMLC compares the MME host name obtained from the HSS with the IWF host name configured by the GMLC, and judges that the two are the same. The GMLC judges that the network registered by the user is the 5G network.

[0071] S404, the GMLC sends Nudm_UE_Context_Management_Get Req to the IWF through the service interface to obtain the AMF address.

[0072] S405, the IWF returns Nudm_UE_Context_Management_Get Ack to the GMLC, wherein the AMF address is carried in Nudm_UE_Context_Management_Get Ack.
