Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a network slice connection configuration method, device and network equipment. Background Art

[0002] The current core network configures and manages the slice session connection used for data transmission between the network and the terminal through the User Equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) rules. Once the configuration rules take effect, the slice connection service will maintain service capabilities and service status during the subscription period. The network side can modify the configuration rules, update the configuration rules, or cancel the slice session connection at any time as needed, and send the updated configuration rules to the terminal, instructing the terminal to configure the slice session connection according to the updated configuration rules.

[0003] After receiving the URSP slice configuration rules sent by the network side, the terminal will configure the slice connection according to the rules and provide services according to the rules until the network side sends new URSP slice configuration rules and reconfigures or deletes the original slice connection.

[0004] In the prior art, although current services provide diversified service needs, if a certain service only needs to be used on a per-time basis or within a specific time range, the current configuration method of URSP rules cannot meet the service needs.

[0005] In the case where the terminal requires to use the slice service according to some special needs, for example, the terminal requires to use the slice and service on a per-time basis, or to use the slice connection and service within a specific time period, without frequently subscribing to the slice service and then canceling the slice service, the existing slice configuration method will not be able to meet the needs. In addition, the updated configuration rules sent by the network side only instruct the terminal to connect the slice session according to the updated configuration rules, but do not indicate how to handle the current session under the original configuration rules. If the current session connection is already in a data transmission connection state, then if the network side sends an updated configuration rule at this time and instructs to update or create a slice session connection according to the updated configuration rules, it will affect the current session. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the technical solution of the present invention is to provide a network slice connection configuration method, device and network equipment, which are used to enable the network side device to instruct the terminal to configure the updated slice session connection according to the trigger timing or conditional rules, or to process the original slice session connection according to the processing method of the original slice session connection.

[0478] It should be noted that the service location of the slice session connection is determined based on the latitude and longitude area range, based on the positioning position of the base station cell, based on the transmitter address or based on the receiver address. Correspondingly, the designated service geographic area is also determined based on the latitude and longitude area range, based on the positioning position of the base station cell, based on the transmitter address or based on the receiver address.

[0479] Optionally, in the network slice connection configuration method, using or terminating the slice connection service according to the time relationship between the service time of the slice session connection and the service validity time includes at least one of the following:

[0484] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the conditional rule of the first information in the configuration rule: "Service Validity Time" indicates that when a slice session connection is performed, after the conditional rule takes effect, the terminal uses or terminates the slice connection service according to the relationship between the service time of the slice session connection and the specified service validity time, in one of the following ways: using the slice connection service when the service time of the slice session connection is within the range of the specified service validity time; using the slice connection service when the service time of the slice session connection is outside the range of the specified service validity time; terminating the slice connection service before the service time of the slice session connection is within the range of the specified service validity time; terminating the slice connection service after the service time of the slice session connection is within the range of the specified service validity time. Among them, the conditional rule "Service Validity Time" indicates which of the above specific ways of using or terminating the slice connection service according to the relationship between the service time of the slice session connection and the specified service validity time is determined by the network side device.

[0485] Optionally, in the network slice connection configuration method, the service time is one of an absolute time or a relative time;

[0486] The specified service validity time is one of an absolute time or a relative time.

[0487] It should be noted that the service time of the slice session connection is one of absolute time or relative time, and correspondingly, the specified service validity time is also one of absolute time or relative time. Optionally, the absolute time can refer to a fixed time, such as: a certain hour and a certain minute, and the relative time can refer to a time period, such as a period of time during which the slice session connection is established.

[0488] The following are several specific examples to illustrate how a terminal uses or terminates a slice session connection based on conditional rules.

[0489] When the first information in the configuration rules only includes a single conditional rule, for example: "maximum service times", the terminal configures the slice session connection according to the instructions of the conditional rule and establishes a slice session connection. Afterwards, it records the number of times the slice session connection is used. If it exceeds the preset "maximum service times", the slice connection service is terminated.

[0490] When the first information in the configuration rule contains multiple conditional rules, and the first information also includes combined conditional information, and the combined conditional information is a single logical rule, the network side device combines each conditional rule according to the single logical rule to form a corresponding compound conditional rule, and sends it to the terminal. The terminal establishes a slice session connection according to the compound conditional rule. For example, multiple conditional rules are "maximum service times" and "maximum service traffic", the single logical rule is "AND", and the compound conditional rule is "maximum service times" AND "maximum service traffic". The terminal records and counts the service times and usage traffic of the slice session connection. If the set "maximum service times" and "maximum service traffic" are reached, the slice connection service is terminated.

[0491] When the first information in the configuration rule contains multiple conditional rules, and the first information also includes combined conditional information, and the combined conditional information includes multiple logical rules, the network side device combines each conditional rule in sequence according to the logical rules to form a corresponding compound conditional rule, and sends it to the terminal. The terminal establishes a slice session connection according to the compound conditional rule. For example, the multiple conditional rules are "maximum service times", "maximum service traffic", and "service geographical area", and the multiple logical rules are "OR" and "AND". The compound conditional rule is "maximum service times" OR "maximum service traffic" AND "service geographical area". The terminal terminates the slice connection service if the "maximum service times" or "maximum usage traffic" of the slice session connection is in the specified "service geographical area".

[0492] Optionally, the network slice connection configuration method, wherein the configuring of the slice session connection according to the configuration rule further includes:

[0493] The original slice session connection is processed according to the processing method in the configuration rules.

[0494] It should be noted that the configuration rules sent by the existing network only instruct the terminal to configure the session according to the new configuration rules, but do not instruct how to handle the current session under the original configuration rules. At this time, if the current session is in a data transmission connection state, then if the network sends updated configuration rules at this time and instructs to update the session or create a new session, this may result in the existing session connection being interrupted if the terminal immediately updates or creates the current session according to the new configuration rules, affecting the current session and the business transmission it carries; if the terminal does not immediately update or create the current session in time according to the updated configuration rules, the new configuration rules may not take effect in time, affecting the new session and subsequent business transmission.

[0495] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first information in the configuration rule also adds a processing method for the original slice session connection, instructing the terminal to process the original slice session connection according to the processing method.

[0496] Optionally, in the network slice connection configuration method, the processing of the original slice session connection according to the processing mode in the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0497] In the process of configuring the slice session connection, when the original slice session connection is used to transmit the first data service, after the slice session connection is successfully established, the slice session connection is used to transmit the second data service, and the original slice session connection is used to transmit the first data service;

[0498] During the process of configuring the slice session connection, when the original slice session connection is not used to transmit the first data service, after the slice session connection is successfully established, the original slice session connection is released;

[0499] In the process of configuring the slice session connection, when the original slice session connection is not used to transmit the first data service, after the slice session connection is successfully established, within a preset time range, when the original slice session connection is used to transmit the second data service, the original slice session connection is used to transmit the second data service;

[0500] During the process of configuring the slice session connection, if the original slice session connection is not used to transmit the first data service, after the slice session connection is successfully established, the original slice session connection is released within a preset time range if the original slice session connection is not used to transmit the second data service.

[0501] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for a terminal to process an original slice session connection includes one of the following:

[0502] During the process of configuring a slice session connection at the terminal, if the original slice session connection is still in use by other services, such as using the original slice session connection to transmit a first data service, after the new slice session connection is successfully established, only the reconfigured service will be migrated, and the configured second data service will be transmitted on the newly created slice session connection. The original slice session connection and its services will not be affected, that is, the first data service will still be transmitted on the original slice session connection.

[0503] During the process of configuring a slice session connection on the terminal, if the original slice session connection is no longer used by other services, the terminal can release the original slice session connection after the new slice session connection is successfully established and the service migration is completed.

[0504] During the process of the terminal configuring a slice session connection, if the original slice session connection is no longer used by other services, after the slice session connection is successfully established, within the preset time range of the first timer, if there is service transmission on the original slice session connection, the first timer is reset and restarted. The terminal considers that the original slice session connection is in a connected state and continues to use the original slice session connection for service transmission.

[0505] During the process of the terminal configuring a slice session connection, if the original slice session connection is no longer used by other services, after the slice session connection is successfully established, within the preset time range of the first timer, if there is no service transmission on the original slice session connection, then the terminal can consider the original slice session connection to be in an idle state and release the original slice session connection.

[0506] In an embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining, through the terminal, configuration rules including the first information sent by the network side, the network side device can instruct the terminal through the first information to establish or terminate a new slice session connection according to the trigger timing and conditional rules, and instruct the terminal to process the original slice session connection, or implement one of the above instructions, which can increase the flexibility of the slice session connection configuration, meet business needs, and reduce the number of signaling interactions.

[0593] It should be noted that the service location of the slice session connection request is determined based on the latitude and longitude area range, based on the positioning position of the base station cell, based on the transmitter address or based on the receiver address. Correspondingly, the designated service geographic area is also determined based on the latitude and longitude area range, based on the positioning position of the base station cell, based on the transmitter address or based on the receiver address.

[0594] Optionally, in the network slice connection configuration method, the accepting or rejecting the slice session connection request according to the time relationship between the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request and the specified service validity time includes at least one of the following:

[0595] When the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the range of the specified service validity time, accept the slice session connection request;

[0597] Before the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the range of the specified service validity time, reject the slice session connection request;

[0598] If the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is after the range of the specified service validity time, the slice session connection request is rejected.

[0599] In an embodiment of the present invention, when accepting or rejecting a slice session connection request according to the conditional rule of the first information in the configuration rule: "service effective time", after the conditional rule takes effect, the network side device accepts or rejects the slice session connection request according to the relationship between the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request and the specified service effective time, in one of the following ways: accepting the slice session connection request when the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the range of the specified service effective time; accepting the slice session connection request when the service time of the slice session connection request is outside the range of the specified service effective time; rejecting the slice session connection request before the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the range of the specified service effective time; rejecting the slice session connection request after the service time corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the range of the specified service effective time. Among them, which of the above specific ways of accepting or rejecting the slice session connection request according to the conditional rule "service effective time" is determined by the network side device.

[0600] Optionally, in the network slice connection configuration method, the service time is one of an absolute time or a relative time;

[0601] The specified service validity time is one of an absolute time or a relative time.

[0602] It should be noted that the service time of the slice session connection request is one of absolute time or relative time, and correspondingly, the specified service validity time is also one of absolute time or relative time. Optionally, the absolute time can refer to a fixed time, such as: a certain hour and a certain minute, and the relative time can refer to a time period, such as a period of time for accepting the slice session connection request.

[0603] The following examples illustrate how the network-side device accepts or rejects a slice session connection request based on conditional rules.

[0604] In the configuration rule, the first information only includes a single condition rule, for example, "maximum service times", and the network side device accepts or rejects the slice session connection request according to the condition rule. After receiving the slice session connection request, the network side device records the number of times the slice session connection request is accepted. If it exceeds the preset "maximum service times", the slice session connection request is rejected.

[0605] When the first information in the configuration rule contains multiple conditional rules, and the first information also includes combined conditional information, and the combined conditional information is a single logical rule, the network side device combines each conditional rule according to the single logical rule to form a corresponding compound conditional rule. The network side device accepts or rejects the slice session connection request according to the compound conditional rule. For example, multiple conditional rules are "maximum service times" and "maximum service traffic", the single logical rule is "AND", and the compound conditional rule is "maximum service times" AND "maximum service traffic". The network side device records and counts the service times and usage traffic corresponding to the slice session connection request. If the set "maximum service times" and "maximum service traffic" are reached, the slice session connection request is rejected.

[0606] When the first information in the configuration rule contains multiple conditional rules, and the first information also includes combined conditional information, and the combined conditional information includes multiple logical rules, the network side device combines each conditional rule in sequence according to the logical rules to form a corresponding compound conditional rule. The network side device accepts or rejects the slice session connection request according to the compound conditional rule. For example, the multiple conditional rules are "maximum service times", "maximum service traffic", and "service geographical area", and the multiple logical rules are "OR" and "AND". The compound conditional rule is "maximum service times" OR "maximum service traffic" AND "service geographical area". The network side device calculates the "maximum service times" or "maximum usage traffic" corresponding to the slice session connection request, and detects that the service location corresponding to the slice session connection request is within the specified "service geographical area", and then rejects the slice session connection request.

[0607] Optionally, the network slice connection configuration method, wherein the accepting or rejecting the slice session connection request according to the configuration rule, further comprises:

[0608] The original slice session connection request is processed according to the processing method in the configuration rules.

[0611] In the process of processing the slice session connection request, in the case where the original slice session connection request makes a first data service transmission request, after accepting the slice session connection request, use the slice session connection to transmit the second data service, and use the original slice session connection to transmit the first data service;

[0612] In the process of processing the slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request does not make a first data service transmission request, after accepting the slice session connection request, rejecting the original slice session connection request;

[0613] In the process of processing the slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request does not make a first data service transmission request, after accepting the slice session connection request, within a preset time range, if the original slice session connection request makes a second data service transmission request, use the original slice session connection to transmit the second data service;

[0614] During the process of processing the slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request does not make a first data service transmission request, after accepting the slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection does not make a second data service transmission request within a preset time range, the original slice session connection request is rejected.

[0615] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for a network side device to process an original slice session connection request includes one of the following:

[0616] During the process of the network side device receiving a slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request is still in use by other services, for example, when the original slice session connection request is transmitting a first data service, after accepting a new slice session connection request, only the reconfigured service is migrated, and the reconfigured second data service is transmitted on the newly created slice session connection request. The original slice session connection request and its services are not affected, that is, the first data service is still transmitted on the original slice session connection request.

[0617] During the process of the network side device receiving a slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request is no longer used by other services, then after accepting the new slice session connection request and completing the service migration, the terminal can reject the original slice session connection request.

[0618] During the process of the network side device receiving a slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection request is no longer used by other services, after accepting the slice session connection request, within the preset time range of the first timer, if there is service transmission on the original slice session connection, the first timer is reset and restarted. The network side device considers that the original slice session connection request is in a connected state and continues to accept the original slice session connection request.

[0619] During the process of the network side device receiving a slice session connection request, if the original slice session connection is no longer used by other services, after accepting the slice session connection request, if there is no service transmission on the original slice session connection within the preset time range of the first timer, then the network side device can consider that the original slice session connection request is in an idle state and reject the original slice session connection request.

[0620] In an embodiment of the present invention, a configuration rule including first information is configured in a network side device. The network device instructs the network side device through the first information, based on a slice session connection request sent by a first information processing terminal, on the triggering timing and condition rules for accepting or rejecting the slice session connection request, and instructs the processing of the original slice session connection request, or implements one of the above instructions.
