AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In a communication network, when a UE is reassigned from an initial core network element to a target core network element, existing technologies cannot guarantee the integrity protection of message exchange, making secure communication links unsuitable and potentially violating the isolation requirements of the core network.

Method used

Through the collaboration of access network elements and initial core network elements, a secure relocation process for the UE is executed from the initial core network element to the target core network element. This includes receiving and sending messages to ensure integrity protection and isolation during the secure relocation process and to prevent UE upgrades.

Benefits of technology

It achieves integrity protection without UE upgrade during UE reassignment, meets the isolation requirements of the core network, and ensures the continuity and integrity of secure communication links.

Abstract

本公开总体上涉及执行向核心网的UE认证和注册,尤其涉及当UE从初始AMF被重分配到目标AMF时支持UE和目标AMF之间的安全交互。接入网网元存储候选AMF列表,以及可选地存储来自UE的原始注册请求消息。初始AMF一旦确定需要进行AMF重分配,就根据存储的候选AMF列表指示UE重新开始向核心网网元的注册过程。利用本公开中提供的解决方案,UE和目标AMF之间的消息交互是被完整性保护的,不需要升级UE并且无需使用核心网的间接连接。
