[0133] In addition, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein.

[0134] In the embodiments provided in the present application, it should be understood that "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A, and B can be determined according to A. However, it should also be understood that the determination of B according to A does not mean that B is determined only according to A, but B can also be determined according to A and / or other information.

[0135] The embodiment of the present application can define a user-centered context scheme for the following three different scenarios, solve the problem that there is no effective user equipment management method in the prior art, and cause the problem that various application layers APP cannot interconnect and interoperate, and realize user-centered network industry fusion management. The three scenarios are as follows: scenario one, all devices worn on the same user are uniformly connected to a mobile terminal, and the context information is established by connecting to the network side through the mobile terminal; scenario two, all devices worn on the same user can be independently connected to the network; and scenario three, a mixed scenario of scenario one and scenario two. The three scenarios need to have a unified UE (User Equipment) ID (Identity), and the embodiment of the present application establishes a user-centered context management mechanism in the AS layer and the NAS layer, and through the UE ID, comprehensive analysis of various wearable information can be realized, the demand for more user-centered information processing models that can appear in the next generation of mobile communication is met, and the specific scheme of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0136] As shown in Figures 1 to 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a user equipment management system, which comprises:

[0137] a first user equipment, a core network device, a base station, an APF entity and a second user equipment.

[0138] The first user equipment receives a first request message sent by the second user equipment, and sends a second request message to the core network device according to the first request message.

[0139] Here, the first request message can be an access request sent by the second user equipment to the first user equipment, and the first user equipment can establish a connection with the second user equipment according to the access request.

[0140] It should be noted that before the first user equipment sends the second request message to the core network device according to the first request message, the first user equipment can also send a first signaling (for example, RRC signaling) to the base station to request the base station and the core network device to establish the context of the first user equipment. Specifically, the UE (that is, the first user equipment) establishes the context with the base station through RRC connection establishment in the RRC signaling process, and establishes the context of the UE with the core network (that is, the core network device) through NAS signaling.

[0141] Here, the first user equipment can send a second request message to the core network equipment according to the first user equipment sending a first request message (i.e. an access request) of the second user equipment, so that the core network equipment establishes a context of the second user equipment, so as to realize the second user equipment interacting with the network side through the first user equipment.

[0142] The core network equipment receives the second request message sent by the first user equipment; according to the second request message, sends a first function body establishment request to the APF entity, and the first function body establishment request carries first identification information allocated by the core network equipment for the second user equipment.

[0143] The APF entity receives the first function body establishment request sent by the core network equipment, and the first function body establishment request carries the first identification information of the second user equipment; according to the first function body establishment request, establishes the function body of the second user equipment based on the function body of the first user equipment.

[0144] It should be noted that the function body of the second user equipment is established based on the function body of the UE, and the core network sends the D ID allocated to the second user equipment to the APF, so as to bind the D ID based on the ID of the UE, realize network integration, and realize interconnection between each application layer APP.

[0145] The core network equipment sends a fourth request message to the base station, and the fourth request message carries the first identification information of the second user equipment.

[0146] Here, the core network equipment can allocate a D ID for the second user equipment. It should be noted that the D ID (i.e. the first identification information) can be a NAS layer ID, and the D ID corresponds to an AS bearer in AS, such as DRB (Data Radio Bearer, Data Radio Bearer).

[0147] It should be noted that the fourth request message is a bearer establishment request, which is used to request to establish an AS bearer for the second user equipment, and the fourth request message can carry the D ID and the temporary ID (i.e. the temporary identification information configured by the second user equipment for the second user equipment) of the second user equipment.

[0148] The base station receives the fourth request message sent by the core network equipment, and the fourth request message carries the first identification information configured by the core network equipment for the second user equipment; according to the fourth request information, sends a third request message to the first user equipment.

[0149] Here, the third request message can be RRC reconfiguration signaling, which can carry the D ID (i.e., the first identification information) of the second user equipment and the temporary identification information. After receiving the RRC reconfiguration signaling, the first user equipment can establish an AS bearer for the second user equipment according to the RRC reconfiguration signaling.

[0150] The first user equipment receives a third request message sent by a base station, the third request message being sent by the base station according to a fourth request message sent by a core network device, the third request message carrying first identification information configured by the core network device for the second user equipment according to the second request message, the first identification information corresponding to a function body of the second user equipment established by an application layer function (APF) entity; and an access layer (AS) bearer corresponding to the first identification information is established according to the third request message.

[0151] As Figure 1 shown, a network convergence protocol stack scheme in the user equipment management system of the embodiment of the application is shown. Figure 1 The user equipment (for example, wearable Internet of Things equipment) is shown in the Application (AP) layer, the NAS layer (corresponding to the function of the core network on the network side), and the AS layer (corresponding to the function of the base station on the network side). Among them, the user equipment (for example, the first user equipment, the second user equipment) is mainly presented in the form of a function body in the AP layer, such as a UE having multiple function bodies, each function body corresponding to a user equipment; the ID (i.e., the D ID) of the user equipment is established in the NAS layer to identify each user equipment under the user; the AS layer establishes several radio bearers (IP flow, identifying each user equipment by IP address) for each UE, each radio bearer corresponding to a user equipment, and when performing air interface transmission, the data on each radio bearer is respectively mapped to different air interface transmission bearers (identified by QoS flow) according to the QoS transmission requirements, and different user equipment realizes precise QoS flow guarantee.

[0152] When identities are assigned to each user equipment (taking wearable Internet of Things equipment as an example) of a user, an identity ID can be allocated to each wearable Internet of Things equipment, denoted as: D 1…n ID (for example, D1 ID, D2 ID, D3 ID, D4 ID, …, D n ID, etc.), and the corresponding wearable Internet of Things equipment is the first user equipment, the second user equipment, the third user equipment, the fourth user equipment, …, the Nth user equipment, etc.). The ID is an internal ID of the user, which can be understood as an attached ID of the UEkey ID (the ID of the master device, i.e., the ID of the first user equipment). In this way, the D 1…nID is an index identifier, describing the characteristics of each wearable Internet of Things device, and for each D 1…n ID is an index identifier, wearable Internet of Things device, to establish a special wireless bearer (i.e. AS bearer).

[0153] It should be noted that the first user equipment, the second user equipment, the third user equipment, the fourth user equipment, …, the Nth user equipment and the like have key features (i.e. feature information), which can form the identity feature information of the user equipment in the APF entity, and are used to represent the corresponding function body of the user equipment in the APF entity. Here, the key features include but are not limited to the following: device ID, device visual shape, parameters (such as key parameters, feature parameters, key feature parameters, device performance parameters, device shape parameters, etc.), device function description and device function symbol, etc.

[0154] In this way, the embodiments of the present application establish various user equipment related identity recognition schemes by taking the user as a unit, and can identify and connect all related devices (such as the second user equipment) through the UE identity of the user (i.e. the UE ID of the first user equipment), and can obtain all wearable device measurement information related to the user.

[0155] As shown in Figure 2 As an optional embodiment of the present application, the user equipment management system includes UE (i.e. the first user equipment of the user), Devices (i.e. other user equipment of the user except the first user equipment, such as the second user equipment), BS (Base Station, base station), CN (Core Network, core network) (i.e. core network equipment) and APF (i.e. APF entity), and the specific process of the user equipment management system when working is as follows:

[0156] 1. UE Context Setup (establishing UE context): the UE (i.e. the first user equipment) establishes the UE context with the network side (i.e. the base station and the core network). Specifically, the UE establishes the context with the base station through the RRC connection establishment (i.e. RRC connection establishment, including: RRC Setup Request, RRC Setup and RRC Setup Complete) in the RRC signaling process, and establishes the UE context with the core network through the NAS signaling.

[0157] 2. UE DT Entity Setup (Establishing the UE's Digital Twin, i.e., establishing the UE's functional entity): Establishing the UE's (Digital Twin) entity, i.e., establishing the functional entity of the first user equipment. The core network initiates the functional entity for this UE to the APF (i.e., the APF entity). This functional entity is for enabling various devices attached to this UE (i.e., devices, i.e., second user equipment) to bind at the APF.

[0158] 3. Link Setup Request: When the second user equipment powers on, it searches for the first user equipment to connect and sends an access request to that first user equipment.

[0159] 4. Link Setup: After receiving the access request from the second user equipment, the first user equipment establishes a connection between the first user equipment and the second user equipment, and assigns a temporary ID (AS layer ID) to the second user equipment.

[0160] 5. Assembling NAS PDU for the device context: To establish a context for the second user device in the core network, a NAS PDU is assembled. After the connection between the first and second user devices is established, the NAS layer processing of the first user device is initiated to register the second user device with the core network.

[0161] 6. NAS PDU for the Device Context: The UE sends a NAS PDU to the core network to establish a NAS layer context for the second user equipment.

[0162] 7. Device Context Setup: The core network establishes the context of the second user equipment and assigns a DID (i.e., first identification information) to the second user equipment.

[0163] 8. Device DT Entity Setup (Establishing the device's digital twin, i.e., establishing the device's functional entity): The core network sends a DT Entity (digital twin) establishment request for the second user equipment (UE) to the APF. It should be noted that the functional entity of this second UE is established based on the UE's functional entity. Furthermore, the core network sends the DID assigned to the second UE to the APF so that the DID can be bound based on the UE's ID, achieving network-service convergence and enabling interconnection between various application layers (APPs).

[0164] 9. Bearer for the Device Setup (Temporary ID, D ID): i.e. to establish a bearer for the second user equipment. In the request message, the core network sends the D ID allocated to the second user equipment to the base station, and carries the temporary ID previously allocated to the second user equipment by the first user equipment. After receiving the request message, the base station establishes a bearer of the AS layer for the second user equipment. Wherein each D ID corresponds to an AS layer bearer.

[0165] It should be noted that the D ID can be visible to the AS or not. If not, the core network can connect the D ID and the AS bearer through the interface.

[0166] 10. RRC reconfiguration (Temporary ID, D ID): i.e. to establish a bearer for the UE through the RRC reconfiguration signaling. After receiving the RRC reconfiguration signaling, the UE establishes the corresponding AS bearer.

[0167] 11. Link Setup Complete (Temporary ID, D ID): In the message, the D ID can be configured to the second user equipment, and the temporary ID is invalidated. In this way, in the subsequent information interaction, the second user equipment can interact with the NAS layer of the first user equipment through the D ID, and the NAS layer of the second user equipment transmits information to the network side through the bearer of the AS layer.

[0168] Through the above process, a D ID can be configured to each second user equipment through the network side, and an AS bearer can be established based on each D ID. In this way, through the D ID, the business integration of various user equipments (such as the second user equipment) attached to the UE (i.e. the first user equipment) at the network side is realized, which lays a foundation for unified data processing. That is, through the D ID, a device control group centered on the UE is formed at the core network and the APF, so that the information (or data) of all user equipments of a user bound to one UE can be realized, the network integration is realized, and the various application layers APP can be interconnected, and the network side can manage and configure all user equipments of the user.

[0169] The user equipment management system of the embodiment, the first user equipment can establish a connection with the second user equipment, thereby sending a second request message to the core network device, so that the core network device establishes a context of the second user equipment, and then after the first identifier information configured by the core network device for the second user equipment, the base station sends RRC reconfiguration signaling to the first user equipment, so that the first user equipment establishes an AS bearer for the second user equipment. In this way, the information of all user equipments related to the user can be obtained through the first user equipment, network convergence is realized, and interconnection and intercommunication between various application layers APP can be realized.

[0170] It should be noted that in the user equipment management system of the above embodiment, the specific steps performed by each device (i.e., the first user equipment, the core network device, the second user equipment, etc.) can refer to the specific steps performed by the corresponding device in each of the following embodiments.
