Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device and system for associating user wireless information identities. Background Art

[0002] In existing networks, when users access Internet video applications through wireless cellular networks, their mobility causes the user's wireless channel environment to constantly change. When a user is in an environment with poor wireless channel quality, the corresponding application server is unaware of the significant changes in the user's wireless channel environment, causing pauses in the user's video viewing experience. Therefore, it is necessary to open user wireless information to third-party applications. However, currently defined wireless devices can only obtain relevant information such as the user's intranet IP address and C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier), but cannot obtain the corresponding user identity information (such as mobile phone number). Therefore, there is still no good solution for opening user-level wireless related information to the outside world. Summary of the Invention

[0059] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention clearer, they will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0060] There are two existing technical solutions for identifying user identity-related information from the wireless side: 1) The base station parses the user's NAS (non-access stratum) signaling information and obtains the user's IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and other information from the user's access signaling; 2) The base station obtains the user's intranet IP address and uses the edge computing platform to map the user's intranet IP to the public IP from the operator's big data platform. The user's mobile phone number can be associated with the user to achieve user-level wireless information disclosure.

[0061] The above two solutions can realize the opening of user-level wireless information to the outside world. Solution 1) parses NAS signaling through the base station, which is a private solution. In the actual existing network, NAS signaling is encrypted. Therefore, even if the base station intercepts the NAS signaling, it still cannot be correctly parsed; Solution 2) obtains the user identity relationship of wireless information through edge computing and big data platform association. Not every province has a big data platform. The big data platforms of provincial companies are independently operated and maintained by each province, and there is an inconsistency in the data interaction interface between the edge computing platform and the big data platform.

[0062] In this embodiment, a new wireless capability exposure module is added (its function can be carried by the wireless network management entity), and the wireless capability module interacts with the NEF in a unified manner. Wireless information is obtained and associated with user identity through the NEF, thereby opening wireless information to the public cloud. At the same time, the edge cloud and NEF obtain wireless side information through the interface, thus opening network capabilities to the edge cloud. Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, new interfaces (new interface 1 and new interface 2) are added between the network capability exposure platform / edge cloud platform and the wireless capability exposure module, and a new data interface (new interface 3) is added between the wireless capability exposure module and the NEF. The wireless capability exposure module sends the user's information identifier (such as the user's intranet IP identifier, C-RNTI, etc.) to the NEF. After the NEF obtains the identifier information, it obtains the public network IP address, mobile phone number, and other information corresponding to the identified user from network elements such as the UPF (User Port Function) and the UDM (Unified Data Management). This information, as well as the base station ID to which the user is connected, can be associated with the user-level information. The wireless capability exposure module then continuously reports the relevant wireless information to the network capability exposure platform. PCF stands for Policy Control Function, AMF stands for Access and Mobility Management Function, SMF stands for Session Management Function, and AN stands for Access Network Element.

[0063] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for associating user wireless information identity, which is applied to a wireless capability exposure module, such as Figure 2 Shown, including:
