[0032] Optionally, the 5G system or 5G network can also be referred to as a New Radio (NR) system or NR network.

[0033] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The application provides a verification method, as shown in the following embodiments. Figure 2 The application is applied to a first repeater and includes the following steps.

[0035] In S201, the first repeater sends first information to a base station.

[0036] Here, the first information is used to assist in verifying whether the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0037] In the application, the timing at which the first repeater sends the first information to the base station can include sending the first information to the base station when the repeater is first installed. Since the first information has been sent to the base station when the repeater is first installed, the first information will not need to be sent again in a subsequent Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection process, thereby reducing resource waste.

[0038] The first information can include at least one of the following: an identity document (ID) used to indicate the first repeater, a first field, and repeater type indication information. The content of the first field is assigned by an operator, and the first field is used to indicate the device type of the first repeater. The repeater type indication information is used to indicate whether the first repeater is a repeater.

[0039] In an example, the identity ID of the first repeater is 5G-S-TMSI, where S is the abbreviation of short and TMSI is the abbreviation of Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity.

[0040] Here, the identity document is assigned to the first repeater by a wireless side operation management device, and the timing at which the wireless side operation management device assigns the identity document to the first repeater can be during the installation process of the first repeater or other timing, which is not limited by the application.

[0041] The content of the first field assigned by the operator to the first repeater can include 5G-globally unique temporary UE identity (GUTI) and user permanent identifier SUPI and user mobile phone number. The first field is transparent to the base station, that is, the base station cannot know the specific first field data, and the first field is only transmitted to the core network.

[0042] Here, if the content of the first field is a special ID assigned to the repeater device by the operator, it can be determined that the device type of the first repeater is a repeater; if the content of the first field is not a special ID assigned to the repeater device by the operator, it can be determined that the device type of the first repeater is a non-repeater, which is used to indicate a device that is not a repeater, such as a terminal device.

[0043] The type indication information is used to indicate whether the first repeater is a repeater. If the type indication information is included in the first information, it can be determined that the first repeater is a repeater; if the type indication information is not included in the first information, it can be determined that the first repeater is not a repeater. The type indication information can be reported as a capability of the repeater, and the capability is readable by the base station, that is, the base station can explicitly determine that the device currently reporting the capability is a repeater device.

[0044] Here, the content of the type indication information can be repeater_nodeindication, or other content, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In an example, the first information sent by the first repeater to the base station includes repeater_nodeindication, and it is determined that the first repeater is a repeater.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, after the first repeater sends the first information to the base station, the base station can assist in verifying whether the first repeater is a legal repeater based on the first information.

[0047] In some embodiments, the manner in which the first information assists in verifying that the first repeater is a legal repeater includes at least one of the following: the identity is assigned to the first repeater by a wireless side operation management device; the first field indicates that the device type of the first repeater is a repeater; and the repeater type indication information indicates that the first repeater is a repeater.

[0048] In an example, the manner in which the first information assists in verifying that the first repeater is a legal repeater includes that the identity is assigned to the first repeater by a wireless side operation management device.

[0049] In another example, the manner in which the first information assists in verifying that the first repeater is a legal repeater includes that the identity is assigned to the first repeater by a wireless side operation management device, and the first field indicates that the device type of the first repeater is a repeater.

[0050] In yet another example, the first information assisting in verifying that the first repeater is a legitimate repeater includes: an identity of the first repeater, a first field indicating that a device type of the first repeater assigned by a wireless side operation management device is a repeater, and repeater type indication information indicating that the first repeater is a repeater.

[0051] Here, the first repeater sends the identity of the first repeater to the base station, and after the base station receives the identity, the base station can verify whether the first repeater is a legitimate repeater by one or both of the following methods:

[0052] Method one, the base station sends the identity to a wireless side operation management device, so that the wireless side operation management device verifies whether the first repeater is a legitimate repeater based on the identity.

[0053] Method two, the base station directly verifies whether the first repeater is a legitimate repeater based on the identity.

[0054] Here, after the first repeater sends the first field to the base station, the base station can transparently send the first field to an operation management device of a core network, so that the operation management device of the core network determines whether the first repeater is a legitimate repeater based on the first field. The transparent transmission means that the base station does not demodulate and decode the first field, but directly transmits the first field to the core network.

[0055] The first repeater sends the repeater type indication information to the base station, and the base station can determine whether the first repeater is a legitimate repeater based on the type indication information.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first repeater sends the first information based on at least one of the following messages: a radio resource control (RRC) setup complete (RRCSetupComplete) message; an RRC setup request (RRCSetupRequest) message; an RRC reestablishment request (RRCReestablishmentRequest) message; an RRC reestablishment complete (RRCReestablishmentComplete) message; an RRC reconfiguration (RRCReconfiguratio) message; an RRC resume request (RRCResumeRequest) message; an RRC connection resume request message; and an RRC connection resume complete (RRCResumeComplete) message.

[0057] In an example, the message in which the first information is sent includes the RRC setup complete message.

[0058] In another example, the message in which the first information is sent includes the RRC setup complete message and the RRC setup request message.

[0059] In yet another example, the message that transmits the first information comprises: an RRC setup complete message, an RRC setup request message, and an RRC reestablishment complete message.

[0060] In yet another example, the message that transmits the first information comprises: an RRC setup complete message, an RRC setup request message, an RRC reestablishment request message, an RRC reestablishment complete message, an RRC reconfiguration message, an RRC reconfiguration complete message, an RRC connection resume request message, and an RRC connection resume complete message.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first information implicitly indicates that the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0062] Here, the first repeater transmits the first information to the base station, and after the base station determines that the first repeater is a repeater, the base station can determine whether the first repeater is a legal repeater based on the first information.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first information comprises: a preamble code.

[0064] In some embodiments, the manner in which the first information implicitly indicates that the first repeater is a legal repeater comprises: the preamble code being a dedicated repeater preamble code configured by the base station for the first repeater.

[0065] Here, after the first repeater transmits the preamble code to the base station, the base station can determine whether the preamble code is a dedicated repeater preamble code configured by the base station for the first repeater, and if the preamble code is a dedicated repeater preamble code, it can be determined that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if the preamble code is not a dedicated repeater preamble code, it can be determined that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0066] In some embodiments, the manner in which the first information implicitly indicates that the first repeater is a legal repeater comprises: the preamble code being transmitted on a dedicated random access resource configured by the base station for the first repeater.

[0067] Here, after the first repeater sends the preamble code to the base station, the base station can determine whether the random access resource for sending the preamble code is on the dedicated random access resource configured by the base station for the first repeater. If the random access resource for sending the preamble code is the dedicated random access resource configured by the base station for the first repeater, it can be determined that the first repeater is a legal repeater. If the random access resource for sending the preamble code is not the dedicated random access resource configured by the base station for the first repeater, it can be determined that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0068] Here, the dedicated random access resource can include a dedicated random access time-frequency resource.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application provides a verification method, as shown in the figure, applied to a base station, and including the following steps: Figure 3

[0070] S301, the base station receives first information sent by the first repeater.

[0071] Here, the first information is used to assist in verifying whether the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0072] After the first repeater sends the first information to the base station, the base station can directly verify whether the first repeater is a legal repeater based on the received first information, or the base station can send the received first information to a wireless side operation management device, so that the wireless side operation management device verifies whether the first repeater is a legal repeater based on the first information.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application provides a verification method, as shown in the figure, the method includes: Figure 4

[0074] S401, the first repeater sends first information to the base station.

[0075] S402, the base station receives the first information sent by the first repeater.

[0076] Here, for the explanation of S401, please refer to the description of S201 in the above embodiment; for the explanation of S402, please refer to the description of S301 in the above embodiment.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, in the case that the first information includes the identity, the method further includes: Figure 5

[0078] S501, the base station sends the identity to the wireless side operation management device, so that the wireless side operation management device determines first verification result indication information based on the identity.​​​

[0079] Here, the first verification result indication information is used to indicate whether the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0080] After the base station sends the identity to the wireless side operation management device, the wireless side operation management device can compare the identity with authorized information of the wireless side operation management device.

[0081] Here, if the identity is the same as the authorized information, the first verification result indication information is indication information indicating that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if the identity is different from the authorized information, the first verification result indication information is indication information indicating that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of authorized information of the wireless side operation management device can be one or multiple, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitation on this.

[0083] Here, in the case where the number of authorized information of the wireless side operation management device is multiple, after the base station sends the first information to the wireless side operation management device, the wireless side operation management device can search from the multiple authorized information whether there is information same as the identity, if there is information same as the identity, it can be determined that the identity is the same as the authorized information, at this time, the wireless side operation management device generates the first verification result indication information that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if there is no information same as the identity, it can be determined that the identity is different from the authorized legal information, at this time, the wireless side operation management device generates the first verification result indication information that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0084] S502, the base station receives the first verification result indication information sent by the wireless side operation management device.

[0085] Here, the base station can receive the first verification result indication information sent by the wireless side operation management device. The first verification result indication information includes indication information that the first repeater is a legal repeater, or indication information that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0086] In some embodiments, in the case where the first information includes the identity, the method further includes: the base station compares the identity with authorized information, if the identity is the same as the authorized information, it is determined that the first repeater is a legal repeater, and the authorized information is sent by the wireless side management device to the base station.

[0087] Here, the base station compares the identity identifier with the authorization information, and if the identity identifier is the same as the authorization information, the base station determines that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if the identity identifier is different from the authorization information, the base station determines that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, before the base station compares the identity identifier with the authorization information, the base station can also receive the authorization information sent by the wireless side operation management device, and after receiving the authorization information sent by the wireless side operation management device, the base station can compare the identity identifier with the authorization information, so as to determine whether the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0089] Here, after the base station receives the identity identifier and the authorization information sent by the wireless side operation management device, the base station can search from the plurality of authorization information whether there is the same information as the identity identifier, if there is the same information as the identity identifier, the base station can determine that the identity identifier is the same as the authorization information, at this time, the base station will determine that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if there is no information the same as the identity identifier, the base station can determine that the identity identifier is different from the legal authorization information, at this time, the base station will determine that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0090] In some embodiments, in the case where the first information includes the first field, the method further includes: the base station sends the first field to the operation management device of the core network, so that the operation management device of the core network determines the second verification result indication information based on the first field, the second verification result indication information is used to indicate whether the first repeater is a legal repeater; the operation management device of the core network sends the second verification result indication information to the wireless side operation management device or the base station; and the base station receives the second verification result indication information sent by the operation management device of the core network.

[0091] Here, the operation management device of the core network can compare the first field with the stored authorization information, if the first field is the same as the stored authorization information, the operation management device of the core network generates the second verification result indication information that the first repeater is a legal repeater; if the first field is different from the stored authorization information, the operation management device of the core network generates the second verification result indication information that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0092] After the operation management device of the core network determines the second verification result indication information, the operation management device of the core network can send the second verification result indication information to the wireless side operation management device or the base station, after the operation management device of the core network sends the second verification result indication information to the wireless side operation management device, the wireless side operation management device forwards the second verification result indication information to the base station; after the operation management device of the core network sends the second verification result indication information to the base station, the base station receives the second verification result indication information sent by the operation management device of the core network.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, when the first information includes the first field, the method further includes: the base station sending the first field to the core network, the core network sending the first field to an operation and management device of the core network, so that the operation and management device of the core network determines second verification result indication information based on the first field, and receives the second verification result indication information sent by the operation and management device of the core network.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, when the first information includes the first field, the method further includes:

[0095] The base station sends the first field to the core network.

[0096] The core network records the 5G-S-TMSI or 5G-TMSI of the first repeater corresponding to the first field, and sends the first field and the 5G-S-TMSI or 5G-TMSI corresponding to the first field to an operation and management device of the core network.

[0097] The operation and management device of the core network determines second verification result indication information based on the first field, and the second verification result indication information is used to indicate whether the first repeater is a legal repeater; here, the operation and management device of the core network can compare the first field with stored authorization information, if the first field is the same as the stored authorization information, the second verification result indication information that the first repeater is a legal repeater is generated; if the first field is different from the stored authorization information, the second verification result indication information that the first repeater is an illegal repeater is generated.

[0098] The operation and management device of the core network sends the second verification result and the 5G-S-TMSI or 5G-TMSI corresponding to the first field to a wireless side operation and management device.

[0099] The wireless side operation and management device sends the second verification result indication information and the 5G-S-TMSI or 5G-TMSI corresponding to the first field to the base station.

[0100] The base station receives the second verification result indication information sent by the wireless side operation and management device.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in the method further includes: Figure 6

[0102] S601, the first repeater sends first information to the base station.

[0103] S602, the base station receives the first information sent by the first repeater.

[0104] S603, the base station judges whether the first information includes repeater type indication information. ​

[0105] S604, if the first information includes the repeater type indication information, determining that the first repeater is a legal repeater, and generating a verification result that the first repeater is a legal repeater.

[0106] S605, if the first information does not include the repeater type indication information, determining that the first repeater is an illegal repeater, and generating a verification result that the first repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0107] In some embodiments, in the case that the first repeater is an illegal repeater, the method further includes: interrupting a first connection, the first connection being a connection that has been established between the first repeater and the base station; or, rejecting to establish a connection between the first repeater and the base station; or, rejecting random access of the first repeater.

[0108] Here, the connection that has been established between the first repeater and the base station can include: an RRC connection.

[0109] In an example, if the first repeater is an illegal repeater, the base station interrupts a connection that has been established between the first repeater and the base station.

[0110] In another example, if the first repeater is an illegal repeater, the base station rejects to establish a connection between the first repeater and the base station.

[0111] In yet another example, if the first repeater is an illegal repeater, the base station rejects random access of the first repeater.

[0112] In the related art, there is no solution for authenticating and authorizing the network function and the terminal function of a repeater. The network function includes identity verification of the repeater, i.e., verifying whether the repeater is a legal repeater; and the terminal function includes RRC connection between the repeater and a terminal.

[0113] The present application provides a verification method, which can verify the network function and the terminal function of a repeater.

[0114] A verification method provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0115] An embodiment of the present application provides a verification method, including the following two technical solutions:

[0116] Technical solution one: two independent authentication methods are configured for a repeater, one method is a method for authenticating and authorizing the network function of the repeater, and the other method is a method for authenticating and authorizing the terminal function of the repeater. The method for authenticating and authorizing the network function and the method for authenticating and authorizing the terminal function will be described in detail below.

[0117] The method for authenticating and verifying the network function comprises the following steps:

[0118] Step one, the identity authentication information is configured in the installation process of the repeater.

[0119] Here, the identity authentication information is the first information described in the above embodiment.

[0120] The identity authentication information is used to indicate that the repeater is a legal repeater, and the identity authentication information can be used to assist the base station in authenticating and authorizing the identity of the repeater. The authentication function is to ensure that the repeater accessing the network is a legal repeater, and the authorization function is to grant the repeater the permission to access the network resources.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the identity authentication information can be a locally unique information or a globally unique information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0122] Here, the locally unique information includes any one of the following: uniqueness within the coverage of the same base station, uniqueness within the service range of the same operation and management (OAM) system, uniqueness within the service range of the same operator, and uniqueness within the range of the same tracking area (TA). The OAM system is the wireless side operation and management device described in the above embodiment.

[0123] The globally unique information includes that the identity authentication information is the identity identification information of the repeater, which has global uniqueness.

[0124] The identity authentication information can include the identity authentication information authorized by the OAM system to the repeater, which is a new ID identity, and the new ID identity is used to indicate that the repeater is a legal repeater. The identity authentication information needs to include repeater indication information, which is used for identity authentication of the repeater.

[0125] Here, the identity authentication information is reported to the base station only when the repeater is installed for the first time, and it does not need to be reported again in the subsequent process of RRC connection between the base station and the repeater.

[0126] Step two, the repeater reports the identity authentication information to the base station, wherein the identity authentication information is the information used to complete the identity authentication and authorization of the repeater.

[0127] Here, the identity authentication information can be reported to the base station in the following information:

[0128] Information 1: RRC setup complete (RRCSetupComplete) signaling;

[0129] Information 2: RRC setup request (RRCSetupRequest) signaling;

[0130] Information 3: RRC reestablishment request (RRCReestablishmentRequest) signaling;

[0131] Information 4: RRC reestablishment complete (RRCReestablishmentComplete) signaling;

[0132] Information 5: RRC reconfiguration (RRCReconfiguratio) signaling;

[0133] Information 6: RRC reconfiguration complete (RRCReconfigurationComplete) signaling;

[0134] Information 7: RRC connection resume request (RRCResumeRequest, or RRCResumeRequest1) signaling;

[0135] Information 8: RRC connection resume complete (RRCResumeComplete) signaling.

[0136] In the embodiments of the present application, the identity authentication information can also be implicitly expressed, and the implicit expression includes that the base station configures a dedicated random access time-frequency resource RO or a dedicated preamble code for the repeater.

[0137] When the base station configures the dedicated RO or the dedicated preamble code for the repeater, the repeater can initiate random access (RA) through the dedicated time-frequency resource RO or the dedicated preamble code.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, when the network function is authenticated, the identity authentication information is sent from the repeater to the base station, and after the base station receives the identity authentication information sent by the repeater, the authentication and authorization process can be started, which can be completed by the base station and the OAM system in cooperation.

[0139] Step three, the base station reports the identity authentication information reported by the repeater to the OAM system.

[0140] Here, the OAM system can judge whether the identity authentication information is the legal authentication information authorized by the OAM system.

[0141] If the OAM system judges the identity authentication information as legal authentication information, the OAM system can determine that the repeater is a legal repeater and can be safely used, thereby completing the authentication process of the network function of the repeater.

[0142] If the OAM system does not find legal authentication information or receives illegal authentication information, the OAM system can determine that the repeater is an illegal repeater.

[0143] After the OAM system determines that the repeater is an illegal repeater, the OAM system can initiate a release RRC (RRC release) connection process, thereby releasing the established RRC connection, or the OAM system can reject the RRC connection establishment, for example, not including the competition overlap solution ID or related information reported by the repeater in the competition conflict resolution information.

[0144] After the OAM system determines that the repeater is an illegal repeater, the OAM system can also terminate the RA process.

[0145] The method for authenticating and certifying the terminal function comprises the following steps:

[0146] Step four, the repeater reports the identity information of the repeater to the base station.

[0147] Here, the identity information can include: ID.

[0148] In an example, the ID of the repeater is 5G-S-TMSI, and the repeater reports the 5G-S-TMSI to the base station.

[0149] Step five, the base station reports the identity information of the repeater to the core network, so that the core network authenticates and certifies the terminal function.

[0150] Technical solution two: two independent authentication methods are configured for the repeater, one method is a method for authenticating and certifying the network function of the repeater, and the other method is a method for authenticating and certifying the terminal function of the repeater. The method for authenticating and certifying the network function and the method for authenticating and certifying the terminal function will be described in detail below.

[0151] The method for authenticating and certifying the network function comprises the following steps:

[0152] Step six, the OAM system allocates identity authentication information for the repeater.

[0153] Here, the identity authentication information can include: type indication information of the repeater, such as repeater node indication (repeater_nodeIndication). The type indication information of the repeater is used to indicate that the repeater is a legal repeater.

[0154] The identity authentication information can further include a SUPI number segment reserved or allocated by the base station for the repeater, which can distinguish the ordinary terminal and the repeater.

[0155] The identity authentication information is reported to the base station only when the repeater is installed for the first time, and does not need to be reported again in the subsequent RRC connection process between the base station and the repeater.

[0156] Step seven, the repeater reports the identity authentication information to the base station.

[0157] Step eight, the base station reports the identity authentication information to the core network, so that the core network authenticates and verifies the terminal function.

[0158] Step nine, after receiving the identity authentication information sent by the repeater, if the identity authentication information includes repeater type indication information repeater_nodeIndication, it can be confirmed that the repeater is a legal repeater and can be safely used, thereby completing the authentication and verification process of the network function of the repeater.

[0159] The verification method provided by the present application will be described in detail through specific embodiments.

[0160] In some embodiments, the legal repeater is configured with identity authentication information during installation, and after completing the random access information, the repeater reports the identity authentication information to the base station, and the base station reports the identity authentication information to the OAM system, so that the OAM system checks whether the repeater is a legal repeater. After the checking is completed, the OAM system feeds back to the base station whether the repeater is a legal repeater, and if it is a legal repeater, the authentication of the network function of the repeater is completed. The base station reports the ID 5G-S-TMSI of the repeater to the core network, so that the core network verifies the terminal function of the repeater. Here, only when the base station receives the feedback from the OAM system that the repeater is a legal repeater, and the base station receives the terminal identity information RAN UEN GAP ID of the repeater included in the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message fed back by the core network to the base station, it can be judged that the repeater completes the authorization and authentication, and is a legal repeater. At this time, the repeater can be allowed to access the network.

[0161] In some embodiments, the repeater is deployed by an operator, the operator allocates a special 5G-S-TMSI, 5G-GUTI, SUPI number segment for each repeater, after completing the random access information, the repeater reports the above information to the base station, the base station judges whether the number segment is a repeater exclusive number segment, if so, the base station reports the 5G-S-TMSI of the repeater to the core network, and starts the authentication and authorization process of the terminal function according to the normal terminal authorization and authentication mode. Only when the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message received by the base station contains the repeater terminal identity information RAN UE NGAP ID, it can be judged that the repeater completes the authorization and authentication, and is a legal repeater.

[0162] In some embodiments, after completing the random access information, the repeater reports the repeater type indication information to the base station, for example, the repeater_nodeIndication is reported to the base station together with the 5G-S-TMSI in msg5; after receiving the repeater_nodeindication, the base station determines that the device is a repeater device, and the base station only reports the 5G-S-TMSI of the repeater to the core network, and starts the authentication and authorization process of the terminal function. Only when the base station receives the repeater_nodeindication and completes the authentication and authorization based on the normal terminal, that is, the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message received by the base station contains the repeater terminal identity information RAN UE NGAP ID, it is considered that the repeater is a legal repeater.

[0163] The verification method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be distinguished according to the different functions of the repeater, and can be divided into repeater network function identity authentication and repeater terminal function identity authentication; the authentication and authorization processes are different, and the present application focuses on the authentication of the network function identity of the repeater by the OAM system; the authentication and authorization standards are different, and both the network function and the terminal function authentication need to pass to pass the authentication and authorization.
