The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0212] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0213] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0214] The embodiments of the present application provide an information processing method and device for rationally utilizing storage and forwarding resources on a satellite.

[0215] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0216] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow chart of the information processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to a terminal. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0217] Step 101: Receive first information sent by an access network device, wherein the first information includes a store-and-forward capability identifier and / or a store-and-forward margin identifier.

[0218] For example, when the network side supports the on-board storage and forwarding service, the network side may send the first information to the terminal, and correspondingly, the terminal may receive the first information sent by the access network device. The storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, for example, whether the satellite has the storage and forwarding capability, etc.; the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite, for example, whether the satellite has the storage margin; optionally, if there is the storage margin, the storage margin on the satellite, etc. The access network device may be, for example, a base station, etc.

[0219] Step 102: Send a first store-and-forward request to a core network device based on the first information.

[0220] In this step, the terminal may send a registration request to the core network device according to the first information, wherein the registration request includes a store-and-forward identifier; or the terminal may send a PDU session establishment request to the core network device according to the first information, wherein the PDU session establishment request includes a store-and-forward identifier. The store-and-forward identifier may be used to indicate that the registration request or the PDU session establishment request is a store-and-forward request.

[0221] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends a first storage and forwarding request to the core network device according to the first information of the access network device. Since the first information includes a storage and forwarding capability identifier and / or a storage and forwarding margin identifier, the storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, and the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite, the first storage and forwarding request sent by the terminal can be determined according to the first information or meet the requirements of the first information, etc., so that the storage and forwarding resources on the satellite can be reasonably used.

[0222] Optionally, the terminal may further receive second information sent by the network device, where the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0223] The first time information is used to indicate the sending time of the second store-and-forward request for the terminal or the PDU session, or to indicate the time interval from the current time to the sending time of the second store-and-forward request;

[0224] First indication information, used to indicate an on-board storage capacity requirement for the second storage and forwarding request, such as storage capacity size, storage capacity limit, etc.;

[0225] Store-and-forward trigger events;

[0226] The second store-forwarding request includes a store-forwarding request that is temporally subsequent to the first store-forwarding request. The second store-forwarding request may also be referred to as a subsequent store-forwarding request, including one or more store-forwarding requests that may be sent after the first store-forwarding request. The second store-forwarding request may be sent to the terminal, i.e., based on terminal granularity, or to the PDU session, i.e., based on PDU session granularity.

[0227] The network device may include access network devices, core network devices such as session management function (SMF), access and mobility management function (AMF), etc. The current time may be, for example, the time when the embodiment of the present application is executed, or other specified time.

[0228] The store-and-forward event includes one or more of the following:

[0229] Time trigger information, for example, the terminal sends a second store-and-forward request at a specific time, transmits on-board store-and-forward data to the satellite at a specific time, etc.;

[0230] Regional trigger information, for example, the terminal sends a second storage and forwarding request when it moves to certain specific areas (for example, there is no ground base station, it belongs to the satellite coverage area but the satellite in this area has no feeder link), and the terminal transmits on-board storage and forwarding data to the satellite when it moves to certain specific areas (for example, there is no ground base station, it belongs to the satellite coverage area but the satellite in this area has no feeder link);

[0231] Event trigger information, for example, the terminal moves too fast, the terminal tends to use on-board storage and forwarding, etc.

[0232] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned specific time, specific area, specific event, etc. can be notified to the terminal by the network side in a non-access stratum (NAS) message (such as a registration acceptance message, a PDU session acceptance message), or can be pre-configured in the terminal.

[0233] The second information is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0234] Registration accept message, RRC reconfiguration message, UE configuration update message, RRC access response.

[0235] The second store-and-forward request is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0236] Registration message, PDU session establishment request, PDU session modification request.

[0237] After receiving the second information, the terminal may perform one or more of the following operations:

[0238] 1) Setting a first timer, wherein a timing duration of the first timer is greater than or equal to a time interval determined according to the first time information, and the first timer is used to indicate that sending the second storage forwarding request is prohibited before the first timer times out.

[0239] The on-board storage capacity requested by the second storage forwarding request meets the on-board storage capacity requirement indicated by the first indication information. For example, the on-board storage capacity requested by the second storage forwarding request is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information; and the sum of the on-board storage capacities requested by the second storage forwarding requests sent multiple times is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information.

[0240] The first timer includes a first timer for the terminal, or a first timer for the PDU session. That is, before the first timer expires, the terminal no longer sends a store-and-forward request, or the terminal no longer sends a store-and-forward request for the PDU session.

[0241] 2) When the store-and-forward event is detected, sending the second store-and-forward request.

[0242] For example, when the terminal moves too fast (for example, the moving speed is greater than a preset value, which can be set as needed), the second store-and-forward request is sent.

[0243] The on-board storage capacity requested by the second storage forwarding request meets the on-board storage capacity requirement indicated by the first indication information. For example, the on-board storage capacity requested by the second storage forwarding request is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information; and the sum of the on-board storage capacities requested by the second storage forwarding requests sent multiple times is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information.

[0244] 3) Sending the second storage forwarding request. The on-board storage capacity requested by the second storage forwarding request meets the on-board storage capacity requirement indicated by the first indication information. For example, the on-board storage capacity of the second storage forwarding request is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information; the sum of the on-board storage capacities requested by the second storage forwarding requests sent multiple times is less than or equal to the on-board storage capacity indicated by the first indication information.

[0245] On the basis of the above embodiment, the terminal may also receive a configuration update indication sent by the core network device, wherein the configuration update indication is used to update one or more information in the second information, and / or the configuration update indication includes a prohibition of a store-and-forward request timer indication. Afterwards, the terminal updates the second information according to the configuration update indication, and / or updates and restarts the first timer.

[0248] The storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, and the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite. The storage and forwarding capability identifier and / or the storage and forwarding margin identifier may be determined by the core network element (AMF or SMF) according to whether the satellite has the storage and forwarding capability and the margin of the satellite supporting on-board storage and forwarding, and notified to the access network device.

[0249] For example, when the network side supports the on-board store-and-forward service, the access network device sends the first information to the terminal. The interpretation and meaning of the first information may refer to the description of the above embodiment.

[0250] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends a first storage and forwarding request to the core network device according to the first information of the access network device. Since the first information includes a storage and forwarding capability identifier and / or a storage and forwarding margin identifier, the storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, and the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite, the first storage and forwarding request sent by the terminal can be determined according to the first information or meet the requirements of the first information, etc., so that the storage and forwarding resources on the satellite can be reasonably used.

[0251] On the basis of the above embodiment, the access network device may further send second information to the terminal, wherein the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0263] Authentication data, such as the maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that the network allows the terminal to apply for each time or cumulatively;

[0264] Information related to the terminal data transmission rate, which is the factors that affect the terminal data transmission rate, including but not limited to latency, signal quality, access type, etc.;

[0265] Pre-set information, which may also be referred to as information set depending on implementation, such as request time interval, etc.

[0266] The second information is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0267] Registration accept message, RRC reconfiguration message, UE configuration update message, RRC access response.

[0268] Based on the above embodiment, the access network device may also receive a configuration update indication sent by the core network device, and send the configuration update indication to the terminal. The configuration update indication is used to update one or more information in the second information, and / or the configuration update indication includes a prohibition of a store-and-forward request timer indication.

[0269] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to core network devices such as SMF, AMF, etc. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0270] Step 301: receiving a first store-and-forward request sent by a terminal, wherein the first store-and-forward request is sent according to first information sent by an access network device;

[0271] The storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, and the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite.

[0272] In this step, the core network device may receive a registration request sent by the terminal, wherein the registration request includes a store-and-forward identifier, or receive a PDU session establishment request sent by the terminal, wherein the PDU session establishment request includes a store-and-forward identifier. The store-and-forward identifier is used to indicate that the registration request or the PDU session establishment request is a store-and-forward request.

[0273] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends a first storage and forwarding request to the core network device according to the first information of the access network device. Since the first information includes a storage and forwarding capability identifier and / or a storage and forwarding margin identifier, the storage and forwarding capability identifier is used to indicate the storage and forwarding capability of the satellite, and the storage and forwarding margin identifier is used to indicate the storage capacity information of the satellite, the first storage and forwarding request sent by the terminal can be determined according to the first information or meet the requirements of the first information, etc., so that the storage and forwarding resources on the satellite can be reasonably used.

[0274] In the embodiment of the present application, the core network device may further send second information to the terminal, wherein the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0275] The first time information is used to indicate the sending time of the second store-and-forward request for the terminal or PDU session, or to indicate the time interval from the current time to the sending time of the second store-and-forward request;

[0276] first indication information, used to indicate an on-board storage capacity requirement for the second store-and-forward request;

[0277] Store-and-forward trigger events;

[0278] The second storage and forwarding request includes a storage and forwarding request that is located after the first storage and forwarding request in time.

[0279] For the explanation and meaning of the second information, reference may be made to the description of the aforementioned method embodiment.

[0280] The store-and-forward event includes one or more of the following:

[0281] Time trigger information, for example, the terminal sends a second store-and-forward request at a specific time, transmits on-board store-and-forward data to the satellite at a specific time, etc.;

[0282] Regional trigger information, for example, the terminal sends a second storage and forwarding request when it moves to certain specific areas (for example, there is no ground base station, it belongs to the satellite coverage area but the satellite in this area has no feeder link), and the terminal transmits on-board storage and forwarding data to the satellite when it moves to certain specific areas (for example, there is no ground base station, it belongs to the satellite coverage area but the satellite in this area has no feeder link);

[0283] Event trigger information, for example, the terminal moves too fast, the terminal tends to use on-board storage and forwarding, etc.

[0284] The core network device may send the second information to the terminal based on one or more of the following information:

[0285] remaining storage capacity on the satellite;

[0286] Terminal priority;

[0287] Business priorities;

[0288] The amount of on-board storage service requested by the terminal this time;

[0289] Ephemeris information, such as the next time the terminal can access the satellite, and the satellite capacity of the next time the terminal accesses the satellite network;

[0290] Authentication data, such as the maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that the network allows the terminal to apply for each time or cumulatively;

[0291] Information related to the terminal data transmission rate, which is the factors that affect the terminal data transmission rate, including but not limited to latency, signal quality, access type, etc.

[0292] Pre-set information, which may also be referred to as information set depending on implementation, such as request time interval, etc.

[0293] The second information is sent in one or more of the following ways:

[0294] Registration accept message, RRC reconfiguration message, UE configuration update message, RRC access response.

[0295] In an embodiment of the present application, the core network device may further set a second timer, wherein the second timer is used to indicate the rejection of a store-and-forward request received before the second timer times out. That is, before the second timer expires, the access network device rejects or discards the store-and-forward request sent by the terminal, or the access network device rejects or discards the store-and-forward request sent for the PDU session.

[0296] The timing duration of the second timer is less than or equal to the timing duration of the first timer, and the timing duration of the first timer is greater than or equal to the time interval determined according to the first time information. The second timer may include a second timer for the terminal, or include a timer for the PDU session.

[0297] When the parameter needs to be updated, the core network device may send a configuration update indication to the terminal, wherein the configuration update indication is used to update one or more of the second information, and / or the configuration update indication includes a prohibition of a store-and-forward request timer indication. At the same time, the core network device may update and restart the second timer.

[0298] The following describes the specific implementation process of the embodiments of the present application in combination with different embodiments. Among them, the access network equipment takes the base station as an example, and the core network equipment includes AMF, SMF, etc.

[0299] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , are schematic diagrams of two implementation architectures of the embodiments of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited to being applied to the two architectures.

[0300] exist Figure 4In the 5G Core Network (5GC), a lightweight 5G core network (5G Core Network, 5GC) access and mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), unified data management entity (UDM), user plane function (UPF) and base stations are deployed on the same satellite; Figure 5 In the low-orbit satellite (Low Earth Orbit, LEO), base stations, UPF or storage devices are deployed, and in the high-orbit satellite (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit, GEO), lightweight 5GC (AMF, SMF, UDM, etc.) is deployed.

[0301] In both architectures, UDM stores contract information, and data is temporarily stored in UPF, or storage devices can be added and co-located with UPF. The two architectures are consistent in activating the store-and-forward mechanism and PDU transmission scheme.

[0302] For the on-board storage and forwarding service initiated by the terminal, there is no resource control mechanism for on-board storage resources through parameter negotiation with the terminal in the prior art, and no configuration and update mechanism for storage and forwarding resource parameters, such as broadcasting the storage and forwarding capability identifier, the network indicating the time when the terminal will initiate the storage and forwarding service next time, etc. In view of the above problems, an information processing method is proposed in an embodiment of the present application.

[0303] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a flow chart of the information processing method of an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the registration process at the user equipment (UE) granularity is described as an example. The process may include:

[0304] Step 601: A base station (Radio Access Network (RAN) in the figure) broadcasts a satellite storage and forwarding capability flag, indicating whether the satellite has onboard storage and forwarding capability. The base station broadcasts a storage and forwarding margin flag, indicating whether the satellite has storage margin, and optionally, may also include onboard storage margin.

[0305] Step 602: The UE establishes an RRC connection with the base station.

[0306] Step 603: The UE initiates a registration request, wherein the registration request includes a store-and-forward identifier, which is used to indicate a request for an on-board store-and-forward service.

[0307] Step 604: The network authenticates the UE's on-board storage authority and determines whether the UE can perform on-board store-and-forward services.

[0308] Step 605: If the AMF supports the on-board store-and-forward request of the UE, that is, if the AMF determines that the UE can perform the store-and-forward service, the AMF determines the time when the UE can apply for store-and-forward next time, the store-and-forward trigger event, the maximum request capacity of the next store-and-forward, the limited capacity of the UE, and whether to send a store-and-forward trigger event to the UE based on one or more of the following factors. The limited capacity of the UE refers to the maximum capacity that the UE can apply for each time or cumulatively after network authentication. The maximum request capacity for the next store-and-forward, that is, the core network element (such as AMF, SMF, RAN and other NF) determines the maximum capacity that the UE can apply for the next store-and-forward application based on one or more of the following factors:

[0309] a. Remaining storage space on the satellite;

[0310] b.UE priority / service priority;

[0311] c. The amount of on-board storage service requested by the UE this time;

[0312] d. Ephemeris information, such as the next time the UE can access the satellite and the satellite capacity of the next time the UE accesses the satellite network;

[0313] e. Authentication data, such as the maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that the network allows the UE to apply for each time or cumulatively;

[0314] f. Factors affecting UE data transmission rate, including but not limited to latency, signal quality, access type, etc.;

[0315] g. Pre-set information.

[0316] If the AMF determines that the UE can register but does not allow the store-and-forward service, the registration acceptance response carries the identification of rejecting the store-and-forward service, the next store-and-forward request time or the store-and-forward trigger event. If the AMF determines that the UE is not allowed to register, it directly returns a registration failure message.

[0317] Step 606: AMF notifies the UE of the time of the next store-and-forward request, the store-and-forward trigger event and / or capacity in the registration acceptance response.

[0318] Store-and-forward events include, but are not limited to:

[0319] a. Time trigger information, such as UE storing and forwarding data on the satellite at a specific time;

[0320] b. Regional trigger information, such as some UEs only transmit onboard storage and forwarding data to the satellite when they move to certain areas (there is no ground base station, it belongs to the satellite coverage area but the satellite in this area has no feeder link);

[0321] c. Event-triggered games, such as UE moving too fast, UE tending to use on-board store-and-forward, etc.

[0322] Among them, the above-mentioned specific events, areas, and events can be notified to the UE in a NAS message (registration acceptance message, PDU session acceptance message), or can be pre-configured on the UE.

[0323] Step 607: The UE sets a first timer, namely, "UE-side prohibition of store-and-forward request timer T1" according to the next store-and-forward request time. The duration of timer T1 is greater than or equal to the time interval determined according to the "next store-and-forward request time" (for example, the time interval from the current time to the "next store-and-forward request time"). Before timer T1 expires, the UE will no longer send an on-board store-and-forward request; or, the UE detects a store-and-forward trigger event.

[0324] Step 608: AMF starts the second timer corresponding to the UE, namely, "network side prohibition of store-and-forward request timer T2". Before timer T2 expires, AMF will reject the received store-and-forward request and indicate that "network side prohibition of store-and-forward request timer T2" has not timed out.

[0325] The timing duration of the UE-side prohibition store-and-forward request timer T1 is ≥ the timing duration of the network-side prohibition store-and-forward request timer T2.

[0326] Step 609: When the UE needs to request on-board storage and forwarding space again and the timer T1 times out, the UE sends an initial registration or mobility registration message, carrying the storage and forwarding service identifier and optionally the requested storage and forwarding capacity. The requested storage and forwarding capacity is limited by the maximum on-board storage and forwarding capacity that the UE can apply for each time or cumulatively as allowed by the network during the UE registration process.

[0327] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a flow chart of the information processing method of an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the PDU establishment process of the service granularity is described as an example. The process may include:

[0328] Step 701: The base station (RAN in the figure) broadcasts a satellite storage and forwarding capability flag, indicating whether the satellite has onboard storage and forwarding capability. The base station broadcasts a storage and forwarding margin flag, indicating whether the satellite has storage margin, and optionally, may also include onboard storage margin.

[0329] Step 702: The UE establishes an RRC connection with the base station.

[0330] Step 703: The UE registers with the network (in this step, it can be authenticated whether the UE can perform on-board store-and-forward).

[0331] Step 704: The UE triggers a store-and-forward service.

[0332] Steps 705a-705b: UE sends a PDU session establishment request to AMF, carrying a store-and-forward flag. AMF sends a Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext request to SMF, carrying a store-and-forward flag.

[0333] Step 706: SMF obtains the contract data and policy rules of the PDU session.

[0334] Optionally, SMF sends a Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext response to AMF.

[0335] Step 707: If the SMF decides to allow the PDU session to store and forward on the satellite, the next time the PDU session is allowed to apply for store and forward is determined based on one or more of the following factors, and the maximum requested capacity for the next store and forward or the limited capacity of the PDU session is optionally carried. The limited capacity of the PDU session refers to the maximum capacity that can be applied for each time or cumulatively by the PDU session after network authentication:

[0336] a. Remaining storage space on the satellite;

[0337] b.UE priority / service priority;

[0338] c. The amount of on-board storage service requested by the UE this time;

[0339] d. Ephemeris information, such as the next time the UE can access the satellite and the satellite capacity of the next time the UE accesses the satellite network;

[0340] e. Authentication data, such as the maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that the network allows the UE to apply for each time or cumulatively;

[0341] f. Factors affecting UE data transmission rate, including but not limited to latency, signal quality, access type, etc.;

[0342] g. Pre-set information.

[0343] Step 708: SMF notifies UPF to establish a session for the user plane and carries an indication of allowing on-board storage.

[0344] Step 709, SMF notifies UE that the PDU session is accepted, carrying the time when the PDU session is allowed to apply for store-and-forward next time, and optionally, carrying the maximum requested capacity of the next store-and-forward or the limited capacity of the PDU session.

[0345] Optionally, SMF notifies AMF of the next application time for store-and-forward, the maximum requested capacity for the next store-and-forward, or the limited capacity of the PDU session, which AMF can obtain in the N2 PDU request message or in the Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Response message. In the figure, the Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContextResponse message can be sent to AMF before step 707 (without carrying relevant information elements), or it can be sent to AMF after step 707.

[0346] The process may include:

[0347] 790a, SMF sends a Namf_Communication_N1N2MessageTransfer message to AMF, carrying the time and / or limited capacity for the next application for storage and forwarding of the PDU session; 790b, AMF sends an N2 PDU session request (N1SM container) to the base station, carrying the time and / or limited capacity for the next application for storage and forwarding of the PDU session; 790c, the base station sends a PDU session acceptance request to the UE, carrying the time and / or limited capacity for the next application for storage and forwarding of the PDU session.

[0348] Step 710a, the UE sets a first timer, i.e., "UE-side PDU store-and-forward request prohibition timer T3" according to the next store-and-forward request time, and the timer T3 is greater than or equal to the time interval determined according to the received time for allowing the next store-and-forward request of the PDU (for example, the time interval from the current time to the time for allowing the next store-and-forward request of the PDU). Before the timer T3 expires, the UE will not send an on-board store-and-forward request for the PDU session with the same PDU ID.

[0349] Step 710b, SMF starts the second timer corresponding to the UE, namely "network side prohibit PDU store-and-forward request timer T4". Before timer T4 expires, SMF will reject the received store-and-forward request and indicate that "network side prohibit PDU store-and-forward request timer T4" has not timed out.

[0350] Optionally, if AMF stores the "network side prohibits PDU store-and-forward request timer T4", before timer T4 expires, AMF will reject the received store-and-forward request and indicate that the "network side prohibits PDU store-and-forward request timer T4" has not timed out.

[0351] The timing duration of the PDU store-and-forward prohibition request timer T3 on the UE side is ≥ the timing duration of the PDU store-and-forward prohibition request timer T4 on the network side.

[0352] Step 711: When the UE needs to request on-board store-and-forward space for the PDU session again and the timer T3 times out, the UE sends a PDU session modification request, carrying a store-and-forward service identifier and, optionally, a requested store-and-forward capacity. The requested store-and-forward capacity is limited by:

[0353] a. The maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that can be applied for each or cumulatively for the PDU session type, as received during the PDU session establishment process and allowed by the network; and

[0354] b. The maximum on-board store-and-forward capacity that the UE can apply for each time or cumulatively, as allowed by the network and received during the UE registration process.

[0355] exist Figure 6 or Figure 7 The information shown, if in the RRC reconfiguration process, the information determined in step 605 or step 707 can also be notified to the UE through an RRC reconfiguration message, an RRC access response, etc.

[0356] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a flow chart of the information processing method of an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the on-board storage and forwarding parameter update of UE granularity is described as an example. The process may include:

[0357] Step 801: When the AMF needs to update the on-board store-and-forward parameters, such as the store-and-forward request prohibition timer (first timer), the maximum request capacity for the next store-and-forward, the limited capacity of the UE, the UE on-board store-and-forward trigger event and other parameters, the AMF sends a UE configuration update message to the UE.

[0358] Steps 802a-802b: UE stores and updates the parameters received from the network. If a prohibit store-and-forward request timer is received, timer T1 is updated and restarted, and AMF updates timer T2 and restarts T2.

[0359] Step 803: The UE successfully updates the received on-board storage and forwarding parameters, such as the storage and forwarding prohibition request timer, the maximum request capacity of the next storage and forwarding, the UE's limited capacity, the UE on-board storage and forwarding triggering event and other parameters (if received), and the UE sends a configuration update completion message to the network side. Otherwise, the configuration fails to be sent. If the network receives the configuration failure, it stops the timer T2 and re-initiates steps 801-803.

[0360] The above configuration parameter update process can be performed separately or in combination with the above Figure 6 The embodiment shown performs.

[0361] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 is a flow chart of the information processing method of an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 As shown, the on-board storage and forwarding parameter update at the PDU granularity is taken as an example for description. The process may include:

[0362] Step 901: When SMF needs to update on-board storage and forwarding parameters, such as the next storage and forwarding request time, the next storage and forwarding maximum request capacity, the UE's limited capacity and other parameters, SMF sends a PDU session modification command to the UE through AMF, carrying the on-board storage and forwarding parameters requested to be updated.

[0363] This may include:

[0364] Step 901a, SMF sends Namf_Communication_N1N2MessageTransfer to AMF, carrying updated on-board store-and-forward parameters. Step 901b, AMF sends N2 PDU session request (N1 SM container) to the base station, carrying updated on-board store-and-forward parameters. Step 901c, AN-specific resource modification, carrying updated on-board store-and-forward parameters.

[0365] Step 902: The UE stores and updates the parameters received from the network. If the next store-and-forward request time is received, the timer T3 is updated and restarted, and the network updates the timer T4 and restarts T4.

[0366] Step 903: The UE successfully updates the received on-board store-and-forward parameters, such as the PDU store-and-forward request prohibition timer T3, the maximum request capacity for the next store-and-forward, the UE's limited capacity and other parameters (if received), and the UE sends a PDU session response message to the SMF.

[0367] This may include:

[0368] In step 903a, the UE sends a PDU session modification response to the base station, carrying the storage and forwarding parameter identifier of the terminal successfully updated; in step 903b, the base station sends an N2 NAS uplink transfer to the AMF, carrying the storage and forwarding parameter identifier of the terminal successfully updated; in step 903c, the AMF sends an Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request to the SMF, carrying the storage and forwarding parameter identifier of the terminal successfully updated; in step 903d, the SMF sends an Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext response to the AMF.

[0369] Step 904: The core network element (such as SMF, AMF) updates the corresponding parameters. Specifically, the core network element starts the network side prohibition of the store-and-forward request timer T4 according to the next store-and-forward request time and stores the limited capacity. Which core network element updates the parameters depends on Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the store-and-forward context (parameters) is stored in which network element.

[0370] Step 904 may occur after the SMF receives the Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext request message, or after the SMF sends the Namf_Communication_N1N2Message Transfer message.

[0371] The above configuration parameter update process can be performed separately or in combination with the above Figure 7 The embodiment shown performs.

[0372] It can be seen from the above description that the solution of the embodiment of the present application can reasonably utilize the storage and forwarding resources on the satellite.

[0373] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems.
