[0033] Under the above-mentioned operating environment, the embodiments of the present application provide a verification method of a narrowband Internet of Things terminal, and it should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a group of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0034] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a verification method of a narrowband Internet of Things terminal according to the embodiments of the present application, asFigure 2 The method comprises the following steps:

[0035] In step S202, the verification type of the terminal is acquired, wherein the verification type comprises a first type of verifying the terminal from a control plane and a second type of verifying the terminal from a user plane.

[0036] In step S204, a request message matching any one of the verification types is sent to a base station, and the request message at least comprises a chip unique identifier, which is pre-set in the terminal.

[0037] In step S204, the chip unique identifier (CPID) is pre-generated. In some embodiments of the present application, before the baseband chip is produced, the CPID application can be sent to the network according to the chip information such as the chip model, the application scenario, etc. After the network receives the application, the baseband chip is allocated with the CPID based on the chip information. When the chip is generated, the allocated CPID is permanently written into the chip. Once this field is written into the chip, it cannot be modified subsequently, thereby ensuring the authenticity, reliability, uniqueness and non-tamperability of the CPID.

[0038] In the case where the core network verifies the chip unique identifier successfully, a response message corresponding to the request message is received.

[0039] In step S206, in the case where the CPID sent by the user terminal is the same as the CPID in the resource pool maintained by the core network, it is determined that the identification verification is successful.

[0040] It can be understood that the above-mentioned user terminal is a satellite communication terminal.

[0041] Through the above steps S202 to S206, the purpose of verifying the user terminal based on satellite communication is achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the application range of terminal management and control, and further solving the technical problem that the terminal management and control mechanism in the related art is only applicable to the ground cellular network, resulting in too narrow application range. The following will be described in detail.

[0042] In step S204 of the above-mentioned verification method of the narrowband Internet of Things terminal, the request message matching the verification type is sent to the base station, comprising: in the case where the verification type is the first type, a first request message is sent to the base station; and in the case where the verification type is the second type, a second request message is sent to the base station, wherein the first request message and the second request message both contain the chip unique identifier, the first request message is an early data request, and the second request message is a connection recovery request.

[0043] It needs to be explained that the first request message is RRC Early Data Request (RRC early data request), and the second request message is RRC Connection Resume Request (RRC connection resume request).

[0044] In step S206, the specific process of receiving the response message corresponding to the request message includes: in the case where the request message is the first request message, the response message is a first response message; in the case where the request message is the second request message, the response message is a second response message, wherein the first response message is used to determine that the early data transmission is complete, and the second response message is used to determine that the connection is released.

[0045] It needs to be explained that the first response message is RRC Early Data Complete (RRC early data transmission complete), and the second response message is RRC Connection Release (RRC connection release).

[0046] Wherein, in the case where the request message is the first request message, the first response message sent by the base station is received, wherein the first response message is sent by the base station after receiving the first message sent by the core network for representing connection establishment success; in the case where the request message is the second request message, the second response message sent by the base station is received, wherein the second response message is sent by the base station after receiving the downlink data sent by the core network.

[0047] In the case where the verification type is the first type, the first request message is sent to the base station, wherein the first request message is used to trigger the base station to send a terminal initial message to the core network, and the terminal initial message contains the chip unique identifier; in the case where the verification type is the second type, the base station sends a second request message, wherein the second request message is used to trigger the base station to send a terminal context request to the core network, and the terminal context request contains the chip unique identifier.

[0048] Figure 3 A flowchart for verifying a terminal from a control plane is shown, as Figure 3As shown, the UE sends an RRC EarlyDataRequest carrying the CPID to the base station, and the eNB (base station) sends an Initial UE message to the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) after receiving the request, and the EPC verifies the CPID, and sends a DL NAS TRANSPORT and a CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT INDICATION to the eNB after verification, and the eNB sends an RRC EarlyDataComplete to the user terminal.

[0049] Figure 4 A flowchart for verifying a terminal from a user plane is shown in FIG. 3, and as shown, the UE sends an RRCConnectionResumeRequest carrying the chip unique identifier to the eNB, and the eNB sends a UE Context Resume Request to the MME (Mobility Management Entity), and sends a UE Context Resume Response, uplink data, downlink data and a Suspend procedure to the eNB after the MME verifies the CPID. Figure 4

[0050] In a case where the core network does not pass the verification of the chip unique identifier, receiving indication information sent by the core network, the indication information being used to indicate that the verification of the chip unique identifier does not pass.

[0051] Figure 5 A flowchart for a control plane verification failure is shown in FIG. 4, Figure 6 A flowchart for a user plane verification failure is shown in FIG. 5, and it needs to be noted that EUTRAN represents Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network. If the CPID verification does not pass, it means that the terminal may have illegal access behavior. The network will send an RRCConnectionReject message to the terminal to inform the terminal that the compliance verification fails, and stop this access process, and at the same time, the network can also record relevant information.

[0052] ​Before the method provided in the application is executed, a request for acquisition needs to be sent to the core network, and the request is used to acquire the chip unique identifier from a resource pool of the core network.

[0053] It should be noted that the chip unique identifier needs to be pre-set in the user terminal.

[0054] The method for verifying the narrowband Internet of Things terminal provided in the application is responsible for maintaining a resource pool of CPID on the network side EPC. Before producing the baseband chip, the chip manufacturer needs to submit a CPID application to the network, and the network allocates a CPID from the resource pool to the chip manufacturer after the application is approved. The allocated CPID is bound to the chip manufacturer and is permanently written into the baseband chip, ensuring the non-tamperability and authenticity of the CPID. When the terminal integrated with the baseband chip initiates a service, the CPID is carried and reported. After receiving the CPID, the network compares and verifies it with the CPID stored in the resource pool, ensuring the legitimacy of the terminal and the authenticity of the identity. If the CPID verification is passed, the terminal is allowed to access the network and perform subsequent data transmission; if the verification is not passed, the terminal is refused to access and an error message is sent, ensuring the security and compliance of the network. Therefore, the method provided in the application verifies early: by sending the CPID in Msg3 for verification in the early stage of the access process, illegal users can be found as early as possible, the occupation time of satellite resources by illegal terminals is reduced, and the resource utilization rate is improved. The method is unified with the existing user verification logic and does not need to make large-scale changes to the existing satellite communication network architecture and protocol, reducing the implementation difficulty and cost. The amount of protocol changes is small: by using the fields in the existing RRCEarlyDataRequest and RRCConnectionResumeRequest messages to transmit the CPID, the amount of changes to the protocol is reduced, and the compatibility with the existing standard is maintained.
