[0168] Step 401: Send a PIN service request to the first network element.

[0184] The following specific examples further illustrate the detailed implementation of the personal Internet of Things (IoT) network establishment method of this disclosure.

[0185] The current key issue is supporting PIN management, including the management of different types of PIN cells and PIN configuration. Network operators and authorized third parties, i.e., those with management capabilities, can create and configure PINs and their cells.

[0186] After creating a PIN, the PEMC can add PIN cells with gateway functionality to the PIN, or remove PEGCs from the PIN, as well as add PIN cells to the PIN and associate them with some PEGCs already added to the PIN, or remove PIN cells from the PIN. Currently, the following aspects are mainly studied in 5G:

[0187] How to support the PIN management mechanism of network operators or authorized third parties (such as PEMC), such as creating / modifying / deleting / activating / deactivating PINs.

[0188] How to support the management of PIN cells, including adding / deleting PIN cells, and associating PEGC with other PIN cells.

[0189] How to support the creation and execution of PINs and the validity period and time validity of PIN cells within PINs, for example, a PIN validity period of 30 minutes, a PIN validity period from 15:00UTC to 15:30UTC; or a PIN cell becoming a PIN member for 1 hour, a PIN cell becoming a PIN member from 16:00UTC to 17:00UTC.

[0190] The following specific examples further illustrate the essence of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0191] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for establishing a personal Internet of Things (IoT) network according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the embodiments of this disclosure include the following processing flow:

[0192] Step 501: The UE sends a ServiceRequest to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) via the gNB to create a PIN.

[0193] The ServiceRequest message includes a PIN create request, which carries the PIN name, PIN service, and PINE information.

[0194] The PIN name is user-readable information.

[0195] PIN Services: A list of services that PINE can provide, such as printers, lights, cameras, etc.

[0196] One or more PINE messages, each PINE message containing at least one of the following elements:

[0197] -PINE ID, a unique ID within a PIN assigned by PEMC.

[0198] -PINE type indicates whether it is PEMC, PEGC, or ordinary PINE.

[0199] -PINE services, what can PINE provide, such as printers, lights, or cameras, etc.

[0200] - Valid time: The time during which PINE becomes a PIN member.

[0201] -PINE name, user-readable information, such as the printer in the bedroom or the light in the living room.

[0202] Step 502: The AMF and Unified Data Management (UDM) check whether the UE is authorized to create a PIN, authorized to use the PIN service, or has subscribed to the PIN service. If not, the AMF has grounds to reject the UE's request.

[0203] Step 503: The AMF sends a PIN creation request to the UDM to request the creation of a PIN. The PIN creation request carries the aforementioned PIN name, PIN service, PINE information, etc.

[0204] PIN name, PIN service, PIN validity period, PINE list information

[0205] Step 504: UDM configures the PIN parameters for each UE's PIN establishment request, including assigning PINID, and creates the PIN.

[0206] Step 505: UDM sends a PIN establishment response to AMF, responds to the PIN establishment request sent by AMF, and notifies AMF of the PIN creation result. The PIN creation result includes the PINID and the result of each PINE.

[0207] Step 506: The AMF sends a service acceptance to the UE via the gNB. The service acceptance carries a PIN establishment response, which contains PIN parameters and related configurations, including the PINID and the result of each PINE.
