Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a user equipment identification configuration method, device and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the core network Trusted AF (Application Function) is used to associate the ExternalUE ID with the core network Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) defined by 3GPP.

[0306] The present invention is described below with reference to scenario embodiments.

[0307] This embodiment adds a dual registration process. After a relatively persistent user equipment identifier (UEI) has been generated on the radio side and UEI association is complete, the RIC initiates a registration request to the Trusted AF and reports the O-RAN UE ID, the relatively persistent UE equipment identifier generated within the RIC, and the 3GPP-defined UE ID accessible to both the radio network and the core network. Furthermore, before requesting user-level information, the application server initiates a registration request for a specific user to the Trusted AF and reports the External UE ID. The Trusted AF generates and maintains a temporary UE ID for the specific user requested by the application server and, through interaction with other core network functions, enhances its ability to associate the temporary UE ID with the O-RAN UE ID reported by the RIC. This solution allows applications with high real-time requirements to use the allocated temporary UE ID to request user-related information multiple times within the registration validity period after completing registration with the Trusted AF, thereby improving the efficiency of wireless information disclosure. To ensure data security, the validity period of the temporary UE ID is assigned after the core network authorizes the application server, and the validity period of the temporary UE ID is refreshed within the Trusted AF. When the temporary UE ID is about to expire, secondary authorization is triggered to the application server and the temporary UE ID is updated. This allows the application server to use the temporary UE ID to access and update UE-related wireless data requests multiple times while ensuring security.

[0308] like Figure 7 As shown, the method flow of this embodiment includes:

[0309] Step 1: The Near-RT RIC (RIC shown in the figure) subscribes to RAN-side general information from the gNB, including some user-level and cell-level information. After the gNB configures the trigger function of the request event, it feedbacks the subscription response to the Near-RT RIC.

[0310] Step 2: Based on the previously successful subscription process and the monitoring event trigger, the gNB reports RAN-side related data to the Near-RTRIC, including the 3GPP-defined RAN-side UE ID for uniquely identifying the user.

[0311] Step 3: After receiving the message reported by the gNB, the Near-RT RIC allocates an O-RAN UE ID persisted in the RIC to the RAN side user.

[0312] Step 4: After receiving the information reported by the gNB, the Near-RT RIC reports the O-RAN UE ID and the corresponding RAN side UE ID to the gNB.

[0313] Step 5: The gNB completes the association between the corresponding O-RAN UE ID and the RAN-side UE ID, and parses the RAN-side UE ID related information in real time to complete the real-time update of the O-RAN UE ID and RAN-side UE ID association information.

[0314] Step 6: The RIC sends a registration request to the Trusted AF and reports the O-RAN UE ID and the RAN-side 3GPP UE ID to the Trusted AF. The UE ID must be a UE ID available to the core network.

[0315] Step 7: The application server sends a registration request to the Trusted AF, carrying the External UE ID (usually UE IP Address or MSISDN) to register with the Trusted AF.

[0316] Step 8: After the Trusted AF authorizes the application server, it allocates a temporary UE ID to the user requested by the application server based on the External UEID reported by the application server. The temporary UE ID is valid for the period during which the application server is authorized in the core network, and the validity period of the temporary UE ID is refreshed in the Trusted AF. When the temporary UE ID is about to expire, the Trusted AF notifies the application server to re-authenticate and allocate a new temporary UE ID.

[0317] Step 9: The Trusted AF interacts with other core network functions (such as AMF / SMF / UDM) to associate the temporary UEID with the O-RAN UE ID and updates the association relationship based on changes in the temporary UE ID. The main association method includes the following steps:

[0318] 1) After the Trusted AF receives the registration request from the RIC, based on the O-RAN UE ID reported in the RIC registration information and the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP, the Trusted AF uses the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP to interact with the core network network function (such as AMF / UDM) to obtain the SUPI, and maps the O-RAN UE ID to the SUPI based on the information reported by the RIC;

[0319] 2) After receiving the registration request from the application server, the Trusted AF associates the External UE ID reported in the application server registration information with the SUPI by interacting with other network functions (such as SMF) in the core network based on the information reported by the application server. Then, based on the one-to-one relationship between the temporary UE ID generated for the application server-specific UE and the External UE ID, the temporary UE ID is mapped to the SUPI;

[0320] 3) Since SUPI permanently identifies the UE, within the Trusted AF, an association table between the final temporary UE ID and the O-RAN UE ID is generated based on the uniqueness and correspondence of the SUPI, and the table is maintained within the Trusted AF.

[0321] Step 10: The Trusted AF feeds back the allocated or updated temporary UE ID to the application server.

[0322] Step 11: The application server uses the temporary UE ID allocated by the Trusted AF to send a subscription request to the Trusted AF to subscribe to the wireless side UE-level information.

[0323] Step 12: The Trusted AF maps the temporary UE ID to the O-RAN UE ID according to the internally maintained association table between the temporary UE ID and the O-RAN UE ID, and sends a request to the RIC to subscribe to the UE-level information.

[0324] Step 13: The RIC carries the O-RAN UE ID to subscribe to UE-level information from the gNB.

[0325] Step 14: Feedback the subscription request success or failure response to the application server, including feedback from the gNB to the RIC, the RIC to the Trusted AF, and the Trusted AF to the application server.

[0326] Step 15: The gNB notifies the RIC of the subscribed UE related information.

[0327] Step 16: The RIC performs UE-level information processing using the generated persistent O-RAN UE ID.

[0328] Step 17: The RIC notifies the application server of the processed UE-level information that can be opened to the application server and understood by the application server.

[0329] In the above method, the 3GPP-defined RAN-side UE ID reported by the RIC to the Trusted AF in step 6 must be a UE ID that can be obtained in the core network and associated with the SUPI. The UE IDs that can be used for reporting and association are shown in Table 1.

[0330] Table 1 RIC reports 3GPP-defined RAN-side UE ID to Trusted AF

[0331]

[0332] Among them, in steps 8 and 9, after the Trusted AF receives the RIC and application server registration request and the reported related UE ID, it generates a temporary UE ID for the specific user requested by the application server, and uses other network functions of the core network to complete the association between the O-RAN UE ID and the temporary UE ID and the mapping relationship of the UE ID during the association process. Figure 8 shown.

[0333] According to the above process, when Trusted AF completes the generation of temporary UE ID and UE ID association, the UE ID mapping relationship in Trusted AF is mainly divided into three stages, such as Figure 8 Shown, including:

[0334] Phase 1: UE ID mapping relationship - O-RAN UE ID <--> SUPI

[0335] Step 1: The RIC sends a registration request to the Trusted AF and reports the UE ID available in the RIC, including the O-RAN UE ID and the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP. The RAN side UE ID includes at least one of the UE IDs listed in Table 1.

[0336] Step 2: After the Trusted AF receives the UE ID reported by the RIC, it uses the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP to interact with the core network function (such as AMF / UDM) to request the permanent identity SUPI of the user equipment corresponding to the RAN side UE ID;

[0337] Step 3: The core network corresponding network function responds to the Trusted AF request and returns the user permanent identity SUPI;

[0338] Step 4: The Trusted AF maps the O-RAN UE ID to the SUPI one-to-one, and then forms the O-RAN UE ID <--> SUPI mapping after the RIC completes the registration.

[0339] Phase 2: UE ID mapping relationship - temporary UE ID <--> SUPI

[0340] Step 5: The application server sends a registration request to the Trusted AF and reports the External UE ID as the user equipment identifier;

[0341] Step 6: After receiving the External UE ID reported by the application server, the Trusted AF allocates a temporary UE ID to the application server. The validity period of the temporary UE ID is the same as the period during which the application server is authorized in the core network. The Trusted AF also updates the validity period of the temporary UE ID in the Trusted AF. When the temporary UE ID is about to expire, the Trusted AF notifies the application server to re-authenticate and allocate a new temporary UE ID.

[0342] Step 7: The Trusted AF uses the External UE ID to interact with the core network function (such as SMF) and requests the permanent identity SUPI of the user equipment corresponding to the External UE ID;

[0343] Step 8: The core network corresponding network function responds to the Trusted AF's request and returns the user permanent identity SUPI;

[0344] Step 9: The Trusted AF maps the External UE ID to the SUPI one-to-one, thereby forming a temporary UE ID <--> SUPI mapping.

[0345] Phase 3: The Trusted AF generates and maintains a UE ID association table, which includes the final mapping relationship between O-RAN UE ID and temporary UE ID.

[0346] Step 10: The Trusted AF generates a final UEID association table based on the UE ID mapping relationships in the first and second phases. The table includes the O-RAN UE ID and the temporary UE ID, as well as the mapping relationship between the two, "O-RAN UE ID <--> Temporary UE ID". The Trusted AF maintains the association table and the mapping relationship.

[0347] Step 11: The Trusted AF feeds back the temporary UE ID allocated to it or the updated temporary UE ID to the application server.

[0348] The following is a token-based user device identification association solution

[0349] In the temporary user equipment identity allocation and association solution, a feasible embodiment is:

[0350] After receiving the registration request from the application server, the Trusted AF uses the Token or OAuth2.0 authentication mechanism to allocate and associate a temporary UE ID. On the one hand, the Trusted AF allocates a token (or allocates a token based on the OAuth2.0 authorization code) as a temporary UE ID to the application server requesting specific user information, which is used to uniquely identify the user device, and associates it with the O-RAN UE ID with the help of other network functions of the core network to ensure that the application server can use the allocated token to obtain relevant UE wireless side information. On the other hand, the Trusted AF uses the Token or OAuth2.0 authentication mechanism to authorize the application server requesting specific user information. After authorization, the Trusted AF internally refreshes the validity period of the token, or uses the Refresh Token mechanism to initiate a secondary authentication for the authenticated application server and update the token value, thereby updating the association between the token and the O-RAN UE ID according to the token change. Based on this, the application server can use the token allocated to it by the Trusted AF multiple times to obtain UE-related wireless information, thereby improving the efficiency of wireless information disclosure.

[0351] According to the temporary user equipment identity allocation and association scheme process and embodiment, the use of tokens as a specific allocation and association scheme for a temporary UE ID, after the wireless side UE ID is associated with the O-RAN UE ID generated by the RIC, the RIC initiates a registration request to the Trusted AF and reports the O-RAN UE ID and the RAN side UE ID defined by 3GPP. After the application server sends a registration request with the External UE ID, the Trusted AF allocates a temporary UE ID to the user specified by the application server and uses the core network to complete the association between the O-RAN UE ID and the temporary UE ID in the Trusted AF. The application server can obtain wireless UE related information through the temporary UE ID. This ensures that after the Trusted AF completes a specific user application server registration, the application server can use the temporary UE ID allocated to it multiple times to obtain RAN side related information, further ensuring the wireless information opening needs of users with higher real-time requirements.

[0352] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention aims to reduce the time overhead for user equipment identity association and improve the efficiency of wireless information opening, aiming at the redundant situation of user equipment identity association process when the application server subscribes to the same user-related information multiple times in the relevant scheme. Therefore, on the basis of the UE ID association scheme defined by 3GPP, by adding the registration process from RIC to Trusted AF and the registration process from application server to Trusted AF, Trusted AF allocates a temporary UE ID to the registered application server, and through interaction with other network functions of the core network (such as AMF / SMF / UDM), Trusted AF further enhances the association between the temporary UE ID and the O-RAN UE ID. In this way, the application server can use the temporary UE ID to directly request UE-related information from the Trusted AF multiple times, and on the basis of the UE ID association within the Trusted AF, obtain the wireless side user-related information processed by RIC through the O-RAN UE ID associated with the temporary UE ID, thereby meeting the requirements of delay-sensitive applications.

[0353] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
