Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular to a wireless side user identifier association method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) towards vertical industries, many application scenarios have low latency requirements. In particular, with the development of edge computing, many applications are deployed on the wireless side, while network exposure functions (NEF) and related control plane network functions (such as policy control functions (PCF), session management functions (SMF), access and mobility management functions (AMF), etc.) are mainly centralized in the core network. Therefore, the traditional provision of application information opening and capability customization through the core network gradually cannot meet the latency requirements of edge-side applications. To solve the above problems, related technologies further propose to deploy a local NEF on the radio access network (RAN) side to open core network / RAN side network information.

[0003] The first problem to be solved for wireless network information opening is to associate the terminal (or user or user equipment) identifier (ID) on the wireless side, so as to uniquely identify the user and open real-time wireless side user information for edge applications.

[0004] Currently, the trusted application function (AF) deployed on the edge is mainly used to associate the terminal identifier (External UE ID) (usually UE IP address) from the external edge application with the UE ID (usually subscription permanent identifier (SUPI)) from the core network. In the existing related technology, the Local NEF is used to open RAN side information. However, due to security problems (wireless side security criteria and security domain, etc.), the RAN side cannot obtain the persistent UE ID, and it is difficult to solve the problem of processing the original information and opening the processed information to the edge application, so the problem of opening real-time user-level information on the wireless side has not been completely solved.

[0161] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0162] The related art completes UE ID mapping on the edge side through a Trusted AF (deployed by an operator at an edge application server (EAS)) in a Local NEF deployment scenario, and the mapping relationship process can be referred to Figure 1 :

[0163] 1. An edge computing (EC) application APP is taken as an AF consumer to request a subscription of a “Naf_EventExposure Service” from the AF, carrying parameters including an external (External) UE ID (s) (generally a UE IP address).

[0164] 2. The Trusted AF subscribes to user plane protocol data unit (PDU) session routing information from the SMF through a request “Nsmf_EventExposure_Subscribe” carrying a parameter UE IP.

[0165] 3. SMF notifies the "UP path change" information through "Nsmf_EventExposure_Notify" to provide the Trusted AF with an event identifier (Event ID), notification correlation information, a UE ID (including a SUPI and a generic public subscription identifier (GPSI) if any), a PDU Session ID, and a time stamp, thereby completing UE ID mapping in the Trusted AF.

[0166] 4. The Trusted AF completes the association between the External UE ID provided by the EC APP and the core network persistent UE ID (i.e., SUPI).

[0167] 5. The Trusted AF subscribes to a trace identifier (Trace ID) from a core network unified data management entity (UDM) using the SUPI.

[0168] 6. To obtain RAN-side related information, the Trusted AF sends a "Nnef_EventExposure_Subscribe" request to a Local NEF using the Trace ID.

[0169] 7. The Local NEF subscribes to RAN-side related information from a message service provider (MnS Producer) (usually a network management system) using the Trace ID.

[0170] 8. The Local NEF provides information that can be exposed to third-party Apps to the EC App.

[0171] In the above scheme, edge open RAN and core network information are obtained by deploying a Local NEF. In this scenario, a Trusted AF deployed at the edge is used to associate the External UE ID with the SUPI with the help of the core network, and then the Trace ID is obtained through the SUPI. The Local NEF obtains the wireless side related information by using the Trace ID, and opens the information. In the information opening process, there are certain security problems in directly opening the wireless raw information, and the third-party App cannot completely identify and analyze the related information, and needs to process the raw information (herein, the information can also be referred to as data) to a certain extent before opening to the third-party App. Since the wireless side cannot obtain the core network persistent UE ID, the above scheme lacks a relatively persistent UE ID that needs to be defined for RAN side information processing. Therefore, how to define a relatively persistent UE ID in the RAN side information processing module and associate it with the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP is a problem to be solved in the present proposal.

[0172] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a wireless side user identification association method provided for Embodiment I of the present application is provided. The method is applied to a wireless intelligent control platform (RAN Intelligent Controller, RIC, or wireless intelligent controller), and includes the following steps:

[0173] Step 21: A first terminal identifier (please refer to step 2 in Figure 3 ) that is relatively persistent in the wireless intelligent control platform is allocated to the first terminal;

[0174] The first terminal identifier can also be referred to as an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) UE ID.

[0175] Step 22: The radio access network (RAN) side terminal identifier of the first terminal sent by the base station is associated with the first terminal identifier (please refer to step 3a in Figure 3 ). Specifically, the RAN side terminal identifier of the first terminal sent by the base station to the RIC can be carried by other information. After the RIC analyzes the information reported by the base station (gNB), the RAN side terminal identifier defined by the related technology is extracted, and the RIC associates it with the relatively persistent first terminal identifier.

[0176] In view of the security of wireless information and the requirement of readability to third-party applications, in the process of opening wireless information, the raw information on the wireless side needs to be processed by the RIC first. In view of different requirements of the information to be processed, the RIC needs to use a persistent or relatively persistent UE ID to meet the uninterrupted requirements of user-level information interaction and processing of various modules in the RIC. However, due to the security domain of the wireless side, the RIC side is not allowed to directly use the persistent UE ID defined by the related technology. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application define a relatively persistent UE ID that uniquely identifies a terminal user in the RIC under the premise of ensuring the security of the wireless side, and associate it with the RAN side UE ID, so as to facilitate the use of the associated relatively persistent terminal identifier for user-level information processing in the RIC, and feed back the user-level information processed by the RIC to the edge application with higher real-time requirement for data, thereby further improving the user-level information opening capability of the wireless side under the premise of ensuring the security domain of the wireless side.

[0177] Optionally, after the association between the RAN side terminal identifier of the first terminal sent by the base station and the first terminal identifier, the method further comprises:

[0178] If the RAN side terminal identifier of the first terminal newly sent by the base station is received, the newly received RAN side terminal identifier is associated with the first terminal identifier. The RAN side terminal identifier newly sent by the base station is different from the RAN side terminal identifier involved in the step 22, but they are both used to identify the same terminal (i.e. the first terminal).

[0179] Due to the change of terminal state, including mobility (such as cell switching) and connection state change (such as IDLE to Connect), the UE ID that can be obtained by the RAN side defined by the related technology will change. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the association relationship needs to be updated along with the change of the UE ID that can be obtained by the RAN side defined by the related technology, specifically, the RIC further updates the terminal identifier association relationship in real time according to the update of the UE-level general information reported by the base station, so that the O-RAN UE ID can be further associated with the UE before and after the state change.

[0180] The RIC architecture is mainly oriented to wireless capability customization and information opening. As a wireless side information analysis and opening unit, the RIC mainly assists the base station to perform information processing and realize intelligent management and control, customizes wireless capabilities for specific application service requirements, and opens wireless information. Among them, the main function of the non-real-time wireless intelligent controller (Non Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller, Non-RT RIC) is to enhance the management capability of the wireless side, and the main function of the near-real-time wireless intelligent controller (Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller, Near-RT RIC) is to enhance the wireless control and information processing capability.

[0181] Optionally, the wireless intelligent control platform is a near-real-time wireless intelligent controller (Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller, Near-RT RIC);

[0182] The first terminal identifier relatively persistent in the wireless intelligent control platform is allocated to the first terminal, comprising:

[0183] After receiving the user-level information of the first terminal sent by the base station for the first time, the first terminal identifier is allocated to the first terminal;

[0184] The base station can send the user-level information of the first terminal to the RIC through the E2 interface;

[0185] Or,

[0186] After receiving the policy for the first terminal issued by the non-real-time wireless intelligent controller (Non Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller, Non-RT RIC), the first terminal identifier is allocated to the first terminal according to the wireless access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal carried in the policy.

[0187] That is to say, the RIC can generate the first terminal identifier (O-RAN UE ID) through two ways:

[0188] I. Please refer to Figure 3In step 1a-1, 1a-2 and 2 in the method, after the RAN-side general information is reported through the E2 interface, the RIC generates the O-RAN UE ID. Specifically, the Near-RT RIC subscribes to the RAN-side general information from the base station (gNB), and after the gNB configures the trigger function of the request event, the gNB feeds back the subscription response to the Near-RT RIC. The subscription information includes part of the semi-static information at the cell level and the user level, and such information is generally high in universality, and is needed and applicable in many different demand Apps. Based on the successful subscription process in advance, according to the trigger condition of the monitoring event, the gNB reports the RAN-side related information to the Near-RT RIC, which includes the RAN-side UE ID defined by the related technology and used for uniquely identifying the user. After the Near-RT RIC receives the UE-level information reported by the gNB through the E2 interface, the O-RAN UE ID relatively persistent in the RIC is allocated to the RAN-side user.

[0189] II. Please refer to Figure 3 In step 1b and 2 in the method, after the policy for a specific user is generated by the Non-RT RIC, the related policy is issued through the A1 interface inside the RIC by using the A1 policy ID. After the Near-RT RIC receives the policy for the specific user (the first terminal in the embodiment of the application) issued by the Non-RT RIC through the A1 interface, the O-RAN UE ID relatively persistent in the RIC is allocated to the RAN-side user.

[0190] In the embodiment of the application, the first terminal identifier is mainly generated and maintained by the Near-RT RIC.

[0195] a second combined identity, the second combined identity comprising: a GUAMI and an AMF UE NGAP ID; the GUAMI used jointly with the AMF UE NGAP ID can uniquely identify the terminal;

[0203] a third combined identity, the third combined identity comprising: a gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP ID List; when the same CU-CP connects multiple CU-UPs to support multiple bearers of the UE, multiple gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP IDs need to be used jointly to form the gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP ID List to uniquely identify the terminal;

[0204] A fourth combined identifier, including: gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP ID List; when the same CU-CP connects multiple CU-UPs to support multiple bearers of a UE, multiple gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP IDs need to be jointly used to form the gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP ID List to uniquely identify the terminal;

[0205] A base station centralized unit terminal F1AP identifier (gNB-CU UE F1AP ID);

[0206] A base station distributed unit terminal F1AP identifier (gNB-Distribute Unit UE F1AP ID, gNB-DU UE F1AP ID);

[0207] A fifth combined identifier, including: gNB-CU UE F1AP ID List; when there is inter-DU dual connectivity (DC) or inter-DU handover, the CU will connect multiple DUs, and multiple gNB-CU UE F1AP IDs need to be jointly used to form the gNB-CU UE F1AP ID List to uniquely identify the user;

[0208] A sixth combined identifier, including: gNB-DU UE F1AP ID List; when there is inter-DU DC or inter-DU handover, the CU will connect multiple DUs, and multiple gNB-DU UE F1AP IDs need to be jointly used to uniquely identify the user;

[0211] A seventh combined identifier, including: a global base station identifier (Global gNB ID) and a Source UE XnAP ID; when there is NR-DC, there can be two base stations serving the same terminal, and the Source UE XnAP ID needs to be jointly used with the Global gNB ID which can uniquely identify the base station to uniquely identify the user;

[0212] An eighth combination identifier, the eighth combination identifier comprising: a Global gNB ID and a Target UE XnAP ID; when there is NR-DC, there can be two base stations serving the same terminal, the Target UE XnAP ID needs to be combined with the Global gNB ID which can globally uniquely identify the base station to uniquely identify the user;

[0213] A cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI);

[0214] A RAN terminal identifier (RAN UE ID).

[0215] In the embodiments of the present application, since the RIC can communicate with the gNB, CU-CP, CU-UP and DU of the RAN side through the E2 interface, the RAN side UE ID associated with the O-RAN UE ID generated internally by the RIC and related to the technical definition includes: the UE ID defined by the core network but available at the RAN side (including the above-mentioned 5G-GUTI / 5G-S-TMSI, Trace ID, RFSPIndex), the RAN and core network NG interface UE ID (RAN UE NGAP ID / AMF UE NGAP ID), the UE ID of other interfaces inside the RAN (gNB-CU-CP UE E1AP ID / gNB-CU-UP UE E1AP ID, gNB-CU UE F1AP ID / gNB-DU UEF1AP ID, Source UE XnAP ID / Target UE XnAP ID), other temporary UE ID at the RAN side (C-RNTI, RAN UE ID), and the combination identifier composed of part of the RAN side UE ID and the related network function identifier (GUAMI, Global gNB ID) for specific cases such as terminal handover AMF, DC, etc. Detailed information is shown in Table 1 below.

[0216] Table 1 RAN side UE ID associated with O-RAN UE ID defined inside RIC

[0217]

[0218]

[0219] Optionally, the first terminal identifier and the radio access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal sent by the base station are associated, or the first terminal identifier and the radio access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal are sent to the base station, so that the base station associates the first terminal identifier with the radio access network side terminal identifier, and the method further comprises:

[0220] In a case where the third-party application (APP) subscribes to the radio access network side terminal related information successfully, receiving the radio access network side terminal related raw information of the first terminal sent by the base station;

[0221] Processing the radio access network side terminal related raw information through the first terminal identifier to obtain radio access network side terminal related information that can be opened to the third-party APP and understood by the third-party APP;

[0222] Sending the radio access network side terminal related information that can be opened to the third-party APP and understood by the third-party APP to the third-party APP.

[0223] In the embodiments of the application, in order to solve the problem that the third-party APP cannot directly obtain the RAN side terminal related raw information, the wireless intelligent control platform processes the raw information obtained from the base station to a certain extent. In order to ensure continuous and uninterrupted processing, the RIC generates a relatively persistent UE ID (O-RAN UE ID) for the terminal, and the RIC or the base station associates the UE ID with the RAN side UE ID defined by the related technology, and dynamically updates the association relationship according to the change of the RAN side temporary UE ID. In the process of opening the wireless information, the RIC processes the raw information by using the relatively persistent UE ID, so as to open the information that can be parsed by the third-party APP.

[0224] Please refer to Figure 4 , the following will illustrate the wireless information opening method based on the wireless side user identifier association method provided by the embodiments of the application.

[0225] 1. The third-party APP (for example, it can be an EC APP) sends a subscription request to the Trusted AF, and subscribes to the RAN side UE level information through the External UEID (generally, it is a UE IP address).

[0226] 2. The Trusted AF associates the RAN side related UE ID with the External UE ID through interaction with other network elements (such as NEF, AMF / UDM, etc.) of the core network (5G core network, 5GC), and updates the UE ID association relationship in real time according to the change of the RAN side UE ID.

[0227] 3. Trusted AF converts External UE ID to RAN side UE ID through association table, sends a subscription request to RIC, RIC further sends a subscription request to gNB, subscribes to UE level information, and feeds back a corresponding subscription response.

[0228] 4. Trusted AF feeds back a subscription request response to a third-party App, and sends a subscription RAN side UE related information success / failure message.

[0229] 5. gNB reports RAN side UE related raw information to RIC.

[0230] 6. RIC internally processes UE level information through a defined relatively persistent O-RAN UE ID.

[0231] 7. RIC informs the third-party App of the UE level information that can be understood by the third-party App after processing.

[0232] The wireless side UE ID association scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application aims to solve the problem that RAN raw information cannot be directly opened in the wireless information opening process, and RIC assists the base station in information processing and realizes intelligentization to realize wireless information opening. Therefore, a relatively persistent UE ID is defined in RIC, and the RAN side UE ID defined by related technologies is associated (including UE ID update caused by UE state change), so as to uniquely identify a user in RIC. With the help of Trusted AF, the RAN side UE ID is associated with the External UE ID, so as to further improve the wireless side user level information opening capability on the premise of guaranteeing the wireless side security domain, and RIC processes the RAN side raw information by using the relatively persistent O-RAN UE ID, and further opens the processed user related information to the third-party App.

[0233] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flowchart of a wireless side user identification association method provided by the second embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a wireless intelligent control platform, and includes the following steps:

[0234] Step 51: a first terminal is allocated a relatively persistent first terminal identification in a wireless intelligent control platform (please refer to step 2 in Figure 3 );

[0235] Step 52: the first terminal identification and the wireless access network side terminal identification of the first terminal are sent to the base station, so that the base station associates the first terminal identification with the wireless access network side terminal identification (please refer to Figure 3Step 3b-1 and 3b-2 in the method for generating the first terminal identifier). Wherein, the wireless access network side terminal identifier corresponds to the first terminal identifier, and the wireless access network side terminal identifier can be sent by the base station. Specifically, the wireless access network side terminal identifier can be carried by other information reported by the base station. The RIC can parse the information reported by the base station and extract the RAN side terminal identifier therefrom.

[0236] The difference between the embodiment of the present application and the above-mentioned embodiment one is that, after the RIC generates the relatively persistent first terminal identifier for the terminal, instead of associating the first terminal identifier with the RAN side terminal identifier by the RIC, the first terminal identifier and the RAN side terminal identifier corresponding to the first terminal identifier are sent to the base station. After the base station parses the RAN side terminal identifier from the relevant signaling, the first terminal identifier and the RAN side terminal identifier are associated.

[0237] In the embodiment of the present application, for the wireless information opening process, the internal RAN side original information processing of the RIC and the demand for relatively persistent terminal identifier for wireless information opening, the relatively persistent O-RAN UE ID is defined in the RIC, which uniquely identifies the user in the RIC. The O-RAN UE ID defined in the RIC is sent to the base station, so that the O-RAN UE ID defined in the RIC is associated with the RAN side relevant terminal identifier by the base station. Thus, it is convenient to use the associated relatively persistent terminal identifier for user-level information processing in the RIC, and then feed back the user-level information processed by the RIC to the edge application with higher real-time requirement for data, so as to further improve the wireless side user-level information opening capability under the premise of ensuring the safety domain of the wireless side.

[0238] In addition, the first terminal identifier and the wireless access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal are sent to the base station, so that after the base station associates the first terminal identifier with the wireless access network side terminal identifier, the method further comprises:

[0239] In the case that the third party application subscribes to the wireless access network side terminal related information successfully, the wireless access network side terminal related original information of the first terminal sent by the base station is received. Before the base station sends the wireless access network side terminal related original information of the first terminal to the wireless intelligent control platform, the wireless access network side terminal identifier in the wireless access network side terminal related original information of the first terminal needs to be converted into the first terminal identifier.

[0240] The wireless access network side terminal related original information is processed through the first terminal identifier, and the wireless access network side terminal related information which can be opened to the third party application and understood by the third party application is obtained.

[0241] send the wireless access network side terminal related information that can be opened to the third party application and is understood by the third party application to the third party application.

[0242] In the embodiment of the application, the base station needs to convert the RAN side terminal identifier in the RAN side terminal related original information of the first terminal into the first terminal identifier before sending the RAN side terminal related original information of the first terminal to the wireless intelligent control platform, because the base station associates the first terminal identifier with the RAN side terminal identifier.

[0243] The embodiment of the application provides a technical solution corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiment two, with the same application concept and the same technical effect.

[0244] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a flowchart of a wireless side user identifier association method provided by the embodiment three, and the method is applied to a base station and includes the following steps:

[0245] Step 61: sending a wireless access network side terminal identifier of a first terminal to a wireless intelligent control platform; for example, the wireless access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal can be carried by general information reported to the RIC; further, the sending of the wireless access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal to the wireless intelligent control platform can be the first sending of the wireless access network side terminal identifier of the first terminal to the wireless intelligent control platform by the base station.

[0246] Step 62: receiving a first terminal identifier corresponding to the wireless access network side terminal identifier and sent by the wireless intelligent control platform (please refer to step 3b-1 in Figure 3 The first terminal identifier is a terminal identifier that is allocated to the first terminal by the wireless intelligent control platform and is relatively persistent in the wireless intelligent control platform.

[0247] The first terminal identifier can also be referred to as an O-RAN UE ID or a relatively persistent O-RAN UE ID.

[0248] Step 63: associating the first terminal identifier with the wireless access network side terminal identifier (please refer to step 3b-2 in Figure 3 .

[0249] In the embodiment of the application, the RIC sends the generated first terminal identifier (for example, an O-RAN UE ID) to the gNB, and the gNB internally parses the RAN side UE ID from the RAN side related signaling in real time, and associates the first terminal identifier with the RAN side UE ID.

[0250] In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of opening wireless information, the RIC internally processes the original information on the RAN side and has a demand for relatively persistent terminal identification in the opening of wireless information. Therefore, a relatively persistent O-RAN UE ID is defined in the RIC to uniquely identify a user in the RIC, and the O-RAN UE ID defined in the RIC is sent to a base station to associate the O-RAN UE ID defined in the RIC with a related terminal identification on the RAN side by the base station. Thus, it is convenient to use the associated relatively persistent terminal identification to process user-level information in the RIC, and then feed back the user-level information processed by the RIC to an edge application with a higher requirement for data real-time performance, thereby further improving the user-level information opening capability on the wireless side under the premise of ensuring the safety domain on the wireless side.

[0251] Optionally, after the first terminal identification is associated with the terminal identification on the wireless access network side, the method further includes:

[0252] If the terminal identification on the wireless access network side of the first terminal is updated, the updated terminal identification on the wireless access network side is associated with the first terminal identification.

[0253] In the embodiment of the present application, after the RIC receives the RAN-side terminal identification of the first terminal sent by the base station and generates a relatively persistent first terminal identification in the RIC for the first terminal, the first terminal identification and the RAN-side terminal identification corresponding to the first terminal identification are sent to the base station, and the base station associates the first terminal identification with the RAN-side terminal identification. Then, the base station updates the terminal identification (UE ID) association relationship in real time according to the change of the RAN-side terminal identification. Specifically, the base station needs to analyze the RAN-side UE ID related information in real time to complete the real-time update of the association information between the first terminal identification and the RAN-side UE ID.

[0254] In the embodiment of the present application, due to the change of the terminal state, including mobility and connection state change, the association relationship is updated with the change of the UE ID that can be acquired on the RAN side according to the related technology. The first terminal identification can be further associated with the UE before and after the state change.

[0255] Optionally, after the first terminal identification is associated with the terminal identification on the wireless access network side, the method further includes:

[0256] In a case that the third-party application successfully subscribes the terminal-related information on the wireless access network side, the raw terminal-related information on the wireless access network side of the first terminal is sent to the wireless intelligent control platform, so that the wireless intelligent control platform processes the raw terminal-related information on the wireless access network side through the first terminal identifier, obtains terminal-related information on the wireless access network side which can be opened to the third-party application and is understood by the third-party application, and sends the terminal-related information on the wireless access network side to the third-party application.

[0257] Optionally, before the raw terminal-related information on the wireless access network side of the first terminal is sent to the wireless intelligent control platform, the method further includes:

[0258] The wireless access network side terminal identifier in the raw terminal-related information on the wireless access network side of the first terminal is converted into the first terminal identifier.
