[0051] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the direct air interface configuration method, terminal, and network-side device provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a direct air interface configuration method 200, which can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the direct air interface configuration method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal. The direct air interface configuration method includes the following steps.

[0053] S202: The first terminal sends a first indication to the network side, where the first indication includes information related to the first terminal and is used to request access parameters of the direct air interface.

[0054] The first terminal can be a terminal with network capabilities, and at least one second terminal can communicate with the network side through the first terminal. For example, the first terminal can serve as a Personal Internet of Things Gateway (PEGC), and one or more other second terminals can communicate with the network side through the first terminal. Optionally, the second terminal can be a Personal Internet of Things Network (PIN) device.

[0055] The direct connection air interface may include at least one of the following: non-3GPP air interface; sidelink PC5 / Sidelink air interface; Wireless Fidelity (WiFi); and Bluetooth.

[0056] The access parameters of the direct air interface may include at least one of the following: information related to a second terminal that is allowed to access the first terminal through the direct air interface; information related to a second terminal that is not allowed to access the first terminal through the direct air interface; data flow information that the first terminal is allowed to forward to the network side; data flow information that the first terminal is not allowed to forward to the network side; data flow information that the first terminal is allowed to forward to the second terminal, wherein the data flow information is related to the second terminal; data flow information that the first terminal is not allowed to forward to the second terminal, wherein the data flow information is related to the second terminal. The information related to the second terminal may be the IP address, MAC address, layer 2 address, etc. of the second terminal, and the data flow information may be a packet filtering rule, such as any combination of source address, source port, protocol, destination address, and destination port.

[0057] The access parameters of the direct air interface may also include at least one of the following: Bluetooth information; WiFi information; access key; shutdown instruction; opening instruction; hiding instruction; PC5 information.

[0058] The Bluetooth information may include at least one of the following:

[0059] Bluetooth name; Bluetooth access key; Bluetooth off indication; Bluetooth on indication; Bluetooth information hiding indication or Bluetooth information broadcast indication.

[0060] WiFi information may include at least one of the following:

[0061] WiFi Service Set Identifier (SSID); WiFi access key; WiFi shutdown indication; WiFi startup indication; WiFi information hiding indication or WiFi information broadcast indication.

[0062] PC5 information may include at least one of the following:

[0063] Relay Service Code; PC5 access key; PC5 shutdown indication; PC5 opening indication; PC5 information hiding indication or PC5 monitoring indication or PC5 broadcast indication.

[0064] The first indication may include information related to the first terminal, and the first indication is used to request access parameters for the direct air interface. The information related to the first terminal may include a terminal identifier of the first terminal (such as a device identifier of the first terminal), a session identifier of the first terminal (such as a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier of the first terminal), a connection identifier of the first terminal (such as an IP address of the first terminal), etc. Optionally, the information related to the first terminal may be used by the network side to determine the first terminal, that is, to determine which terminal sent the first indication, so that the access parameters for the direct air interface can be subsequently sent to the first terminal.

[0065] The first indication may include at least one of the following: a capability indication; a forwarding indication; an access type indication; and a network indication. The capability indication indicates that the first terminal has gateway capabilities, the forwarding indication indicates a requirement for data forwarding, the access type indication indicates the access type of the direct air interface (e.g., the access type may be WiFi, Bluetooth, a non-3GPP air interface, or a PC5 / Sidelink air interface), and the network indication indicates the user network to which the first terminal belongs (e.g., the identifier or name of the user network to which the first terminal belongs).

[0066] In one implementation, when the first terminal sends the first indication to the network side, the first indication may be sent to the network side in at least one of the following five situations:

[0067] When the non-3GPP air interface of the first terminal is opened, the first terminal may send a first indication to the network side;

[0068] When the Bluetooth of the first terminal is turned on, the first terminal may send a first indication to the network side;

[0069] When the WiFi of the first terminal is turned on, the first terminal may send a first instruction to the network side;

[0070] When the PC5 / Sidelink air interface of the first terminal is open, the first terminal may send a first indication to the network side;

[0071] When the first terminal receives a connection message from the second terminal, the first terminal may send a first indication to the network side, wherein the second terminal may communicate with the network side through the first terminal, and the connection message of the second terminal may be a connection message of the second terminal for a directly connected air interface.

[0072] In one implementation, the network side may be a network function or a base station, and the network function may be an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Session Management Function (SMF), a Policy Control Function (PCF), a Unified Data Management (UDM), a Unified Data Repository (UDR), an Application Function (AF), a Network Exposure Function (NEF), etc. When the first terminal sends the first indication to the network side, it may be that the first terminal sends the first indication to any network function or base station. For example, if the first terminal issues the first indication to the network function, the first terminal may send the first indication to the AMF through a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) registration message, or may send the first indication to the SMF through a PDU Session Modification or PDU Session Establishment message.

[0073] S204: Receive access parameters, and configure the direct air interface based on the access parameters.

[0074] The access parameters of the direct air interface may be generated by the network side, and receiving the access parameters may specifically be that the first terminal receives the access parameters of the direct air interface from the network side.

[0075] In one implementation, the network side may be a network function or a base station, and the network function may be the aforementioned AMF, SMF, PCF, UDM, UDR, AF, NEF, etc. The first terminal receives access parameters from the network side, which may be from the network function or the base station. In a more specific implementation, the network function may include a first network function and a second network function, the first network function may be an AF or an NEF, and the second network function may be any one of a UDM, UDR, AMF, and an SMF. The first terminal receives access parameters from the network function, which may be from the first network function or the second network function. When the first terminal receives access parameters from the first network function, the access parameters may be generated by the first network function, or obtained by the first network function from another network function. Similarly, when the first terminal receives access parameters from the second network function, the access parameters may be generated by the second network function, or obtained by the second network function from another network function.

[0076] After receiving the access parameters, the first terminal may configure the direct connection air interface according to the access parameters. The configuration of the direct connection air interface by the first terminal according to the access parameters may include at least one of the following:

[0077] In the case where the access parameter includes a closing indication, the first terminal may close the direct connection air interface according to the closing indication;

[0078] In the case where the access parameter includes a hiding indication, the first terminal may hide the WiFi SSID or Bluetooth name according to the hiding indication;

[0079] In a case where the access parameter includes an activation indication, the first terminal may activate the direct connection air interface according to the activation indication.

[0080] Optionally, after configuring the direct connection air interface according to the access parameters, the first terminal may further send a second indication to the network side, where the second indication may be used to indicate successful configuration of the direct connection air interface.

[0081] It should be noted that, with respect to the above S202 and S204, the first terminal may execute at least one of them, namely Figure 2 The direct air interface configuration method shown may include at least the following three implementations:

[0082] A first implementation manner: the first terminal executes S202, that is, the first terminal sends a first instruction to the network side, the first instruction includes information related to the first terminal, and the first instruction is used to request access parameters of the direct air interface.

[0083] Second implementation manner: the first terminal executes S204 , that is, the first terminal receives access parameters of the direct air interface and configures the direct air interface based on the access parameters.

[0084] A third implementation method: the first terminal executes S202 and S204, that is, the first terminal sends a first indication to the network side, the first indication includes information related to the first terminal, and the first indication is used to request access parameters of the direct air interface; receives the access parameters of the direct air interface, and configures the direct air interface based on the access parameters.

[0085] In the first implementation described above, the first terminal requests access parameters for the direct air interface by sending a first indication to the network side, for example, requesting to obtain the access parameters for the direct air interface from the network side. This allows automatic configuration of the access parameters for the direct air interface without the need to manually configure the access parameters for the direct air interface, thereby enabling automatic connection of the direct air interface and improving the access rate of the direct air interface. Optionally, after sending the first indication to the network side, the first terminal may receive the access parameters for the direct air interface from the network side and configure the direct air interface based on the access parameters.

[0086] In the second implementation method described above, the first terminal can receive the access parameters of the direct air interface and configure the direct air interface according to the access parameters. For example, the network side can actively send the access parameters of the direct air interface to the first terminal, so that the first terminal can receive the access parameters of the direct air interface from the network side and configure the direct air interface according to the access parameters. In this way, the automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct air interface can be achieved without manually configuring the access parameters of the direct air interface, thereby achieving automatic connection of the direct air interface and improving the access rate of the direct air interface. Optionally, before receiving the access parameters of the direct air interface, the first terminal can send a first indication for requesting the access parameters of the direct air interface to the network side, so that the first terminal can receive the access parameters sent by the network side according to the first indication.

[0087] In the third implementation described above, the first terminal requests access parameters for the direct air interface by sending a first instruction to the network. The network then sends the access parameters to the first terminal based on the first instruction. The first terminal receives the access parameters sent by the network based on the first instruction and configures the direct air interface based on the access parameters. This allows automatic configuration of the direct air interface access parameters, eliminating the need for manual configuration of the direct air interface access parameters. This enables automatic connection of the direct air interface and improves the access rate of the direct air interface.

[0088] In a possible application scenario, the direct air interface configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be as follows: Figure 3 shown. Figure 3 In the example, PEGC is the first terminal with gateway capability, Device is the second terminal, the second terminal communicates with the network side through the first terminal, AMF / SMF can be the first network function, UDM / UDR can be the second network function, and AF / NEF can be the third network function. Figure 3The direct air interface configuration method shown may include at least one of the following steps 0 to 2.

[0089] Step 0: PEGC sends a first indication to the network side. The first indication includes PEGC-related information and is used to request access parameters of the direct air interface.

[0090] In step 0, the PEGC sends a first instruction to the network side, which may include at least one of the following:

[0091] Step 0a: PEGC sends a first indication to AMF / SMF;

[0092] Step 0b: PEGC sends a first instruction to UDM / UDR;

[0093] Step 0c: PEGC sends a first indication to AF / NEF.

[0094] Step 1: PEGC receives access parameters of the direct air interface.

[0095] In step 1, the PEGC receives access parameters of the direct air interface, which may include at least one of the following:

[0096] Step 1a: PEGC receives access parameters from AMF / SMF, where the access parameters can be generated by AMF / SMF or obtained by AMF / SMF from UDM / UDR or AF / NEF;

[0097] Step 1b: PEGC receives access parameters from UDM / UDR, where the access parameters can be generated by UDM / UDR or obtained by UDM / UDR from AMF / SMF or AF / NEF;

[0098] Step 1c: PEGC receives access parameters from AF / NEF, where the access parameters can be generated by AF / NEF or obtained by AF / NEF from AMF / SMF or UDM / UDR.

[0099] Step 2: PGEC configures the direct air interface based on the access parameters.

[0100] The specific implementation of the above steps 0 to 2 can refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in the above S202 and S204, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, since the first terminal can send a first indication to the network side to request the access parameters of the direct air interface, and / or the first terminal can receive the access parameters of the direct air interface and configure the direct air interface according to the access parameters, the automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct air interface can be achieved without manually configuring the access parameters of the direct air interface, thereby achieving automatic connection of the direct air interface and improving the access rate of the direct air interface.

The second network function is a network function different from the first network function, and can specifically be AMF, SMF, PCF, UDM, UDR, AF, NEF, etc.

[0119] S404: Send access parameters of the direct air interface of the first terminal.

[0120] The first network function sends the access parameters of the directly connected air interface of the first terminal. The first network function may send the access parameters directly to the first terminal, or the first network function may send the access parameters to other network functions, and then the other network functions send the access parameters to the first terminal.

[0121] The access parameters sent by the first network function may be generated by the first network function or obtained by the first network function from a third network function. Where the access parameters can be generated by the first network function, the first network function may generate the access parameters based on at least one of the following: information related to the first terminal; a key of the first terminal; public information; or a first indication. Where the access parameters are obtained by the first network function from a third network function, the access parameters may be generated by the third network function or obtained by the third network function from another network function. The third network function may be a UDM, an Authentication Server Function (AUSF), or the like.

[0122] After the first network function sends the access parameters, the first terminal can directly or indirectly receive the access parameters. Afterwards, the first terminal can configure the direct air interface according to the access parameters. The specific implementation method of configuring the direct air interface can be found in Figure 2 The embodiments shown will not be described again here.

[0123] Optionally, after sending the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface of the first terminal, the first network function may further receive a second indication, which may be used to indicate that the first terminal has successfully configured the direct-connect air interface. The first network function may receive the second indication from the first terminal, or from the second network function. When the first network function receives the second indication from the second network function, the second indication may be sent from the first terminal to the second network function, or may be sent from the first terminal to the second network function via a network function other than the first and second network functions.

[0124] It should be noted that, with respect to the above S402 and S404, the first network function can execute at least one of them, namely Figure 4 The direct air interface configuration method shown may include at least the following three implementations:

[0125] A first implementation manner: the first network function executes S402, that is, the first network function receives a first indication, where the first indication is used by the first network function to send access parameters of the direct connection air interface of the first terminal.

[0126] Second implementation manner: the first network function executes S404, that is, the first network function sends the access parameters of the direct connection air interface of the first terminal.

[0127] A third implementation method: the first network function executes S402 and S404, that is, the first network function receives a first indication, the first indication is used for the first network function to send the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface of the first terminal, and the first network function sends the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface of the first terminal.

[0128] In a first implementation manner, the first network function may receive a first indication, and the first indication is used for the first network function to send access parameters of the direct-connected air interface of the first terminal. In this way, since the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface of the first terminal can be sent by the first network function, automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface can be achieved without manually configuring the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface, thereby achieving automatic connection of the direct-connected air interface and improving the access rate of the direct-connected air interface. Optionally, the first network function may receive the first indication from the first terminal and / or the second network function. Optionally, after receiving the first indication, the first network function may send the access parameters of the direct-connected air interface of the first terminal according to the first indication, wherein the specific implementation manner of the first network function sending the access parameters according to the first indication can refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in the above S404, which will not be repeated here.

[0129] In a second implementation, the first network function may send the access parameters of the direct air interface of the first terminal. In this way, the automatic configuration of the direct air interface access parameters can be achieved without manually configuring the access parameters of the direct air interface, thereby achieving automatic connection of the direct air interface and improving the access rate of the direct air interface. The specific implementation method of the first network function sending the access parameters can refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in S404 above, which will not be repeated here. Optionally, before the first network function sends the access parameters, a first indication may be received, and the first indication is used for the first network function to send the access parameters of the direct air interface of the first terminal, that is, the first network function may send the access parameters of the direct air interface of the first terminal after receiving the first indication, wherein the first indication can be obtained from the first terminal and / or the second network function. The specific implementation method can refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in S402 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0130] In a third implementation, the first network function receives the first indication and then sends the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface of the first terminal based on the first indication. The first indication is used by the first network function to send the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface of the first terminal. For a specific implementation, refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in S402 and S404 above, which will not be repeated here. Because the first network function can send the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface of the first terminal based on the first indication, automatic configuration of the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface can be achieved, eliminating the need to manually configure the access parameters of the direct-connect air interface, thereby achieving automatic connection of the direct-connect air interface and improving the access rate of the direct-connect air interface.

[0131] In a possible application scenario, the direct air interface configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be as follows: Figure 5 shown. Figure 5 In the example, PEGC is the first terminal with gateway capability, Device is the second terminal, the second terminal communicates with the network side through the first terminal, AMF / SMF can be the first network function, UDM / UDR can be the second network function, and AF / NEF can be the third network function.

[0134] Step 0a: AMF / SMF receives the first indication from PEGC;

[0135] Step 0b: AMF / SMF receives the first indication from UDM / UDR;

[0136] Step 0c: AMF / SMF receives the first indication from AF / NEF.

[0137] Step 1: AMF / SMF sends the access parameters of the direct air interface of PEGC.

[0138] In step 1, the AMF / SMF sends the access parameters of the direct air interface of the PEGC, which may include at least one of the following:

[0139] Step 1a: AMF / SMF sends access parameters to PEGC, where the access parameters can be generated by AMF / SMF or obtained by AMF / SMF from UDM / UDR or AF / NEF;

[0140] Step 1b: AMF / SMF sends access parameters to UDM / UDR, where the access parameters may be generated by AMF / SMF or obtained by AMF / SMF from AF / NEF. Optionally, after AMF / SMF sends the access parameters to UDM / UDR, step 2b may be included: UDM / UDR sends the access parameters to PEGC.

[0141] Step 1c: AMF / SMF sends access parameters to AF / NEF, where the access parameters can be generated by AMF / SMF or obtained by AMF / SMF from UDM / UDR. Optionally, after AMF / SMF sends the access parameters to AF / NEF, step 2c may also be included: AF / NEF sends the access parameters to PEGC.

[0142] The specific implementation of the above steps 0 to 1 can refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding steps in S402 and S404 above, and will not be repeated here.
