[0044] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0045] The following describes the network slice selection method, storage medium and electronic device of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 1 , provides a network slice selection method applied to Windows devices, the method comprising the following steps S101-S104.

[0047] S101: Sending a request to obtain information to the communication module, so that the communication module responds to receiving the request to obtain information and obtains traffic descriptor information of the available network slice;

[0048] S102: receiving traffic descriptor information sent by the communication module;

[0049] S103: Determine a target traffic descriptor based on the traffic descriptor information, and obtain a target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor;

[0050] S104: Dial up to connect to the network slice corresponding to the target APN.

[0051] The Windows device refers to an electronic device installed with the Windows system, and the specific electronic device may be a personal computer, a server, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] To support 5G slicing on a device, the device needs a modem that supports IRadio 1.6 HAL, which has a setupDataCall_1_6 API. This API is used to set up a data connection and contains the following parameters to support 5G slicing:

[0053] trafficDescriptor: Used to specify the traffic descriptor sent to the modem.

[0054] sliceInfo: Information used to specify the network slice used when switching from EPDG to 5G.

[0055] matchAllRuleAllowed: Specifies whether the default "match-all" URSP rule is allowed. The telephony platform sets this field to true for the default network, but not for slices. The "match-all" rule is applied to the default network. When an application requests a specific slice that is not available, the system reports that the specific slice is not available. For enterprise applications, the telephony framework falls back to the default network if the enterprise network is not available.

[0056] From the above, the communication module can be an electronic device with an IRadio 1.6HAL modem.

[0057] The request to obtain information may specify that TD (traffic descriptor information) needs to be obtained, for example, carrying a TD character as an identifier, so that the communication module can understand that the target to be obtained is TD according to the request to obtain information.

[0058] The phone and network connectivity platform support the following behavior: Network requests for slice classes are converted into traffic descriptors.

[0059] Therefore, for the communication module, what it does after responding to the request for information is to search for a connectable phone or network connection platform in the network environment that it can connect to, and send a network request for a specific network slice specified by the request for information. If the network connection platform has a network slice that meets the conditions, the corresponding traffic descriptor information is returned, which contains traffic descriptors for multiple network slices. There can be multiple network slices, and there can also be multiple corresponding traffic descriptors.

[0060] In addition, the network connection platform can also provide the communication module with the APN of the network slice to which the traffic descriptor included in the traffic descriptor information belongs.

[0061] In step S103, the Windows device obtains the traffic descriptor information via the communication module, and can select any traffic descriptor from the traffic descriptor information to determine the network slice to be connected to. The selected traffic descriptor is the target traffic descriptor.

[0062] APN (Access Point Name) is the network access point used when connecting to a mobile data network. APN contains the name of the carrier network and is used to indicate how the device connects to the Internet. It is usually associated with a specific service provider such as mobile data, MMS or voicemail. APN contains the following information:

[0063] Name: This is the identifier of the APN that users see on their devices and is usually related to the name of the carrier.

[0064] APN address: This is the address of the network server that the device connects to, usually a domain name, such as "internet.XXXXXX.com".

[0065] Username and Password: Some APNs may require authentication, in which case you will need to provide a username and password.

[0066] Network Type: Defines the type of network used by the device, such as GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, or 5G.

[0067] Proxy and Port: In some cases, APN may need to use a proxy server, in which case the proxy's IP address and port number are specified.

[0068] MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center): Address used for multimedia messaging service.

[0069] MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code): represent the country code and network code respectively, used to identify operators.

[0070] In the above embodiment, a network slice is a logical network based on a physical network. Different APNs may be set for different network slices to identify their corresponding different logical networks. Thus, the selection of the network slice can be achieved by specifying the target APN.

[0071] In the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the Windows device sends a request to the communication module to obtain information so that the communication module responds to the request to obtain information, and obtains the traffic descriptor information of the available network slices on behalf of the Windows device. In this way, when the Windows device itself cannot obtain the network slice information, the traffic descriptor information obtained by the communication module can be obtained, and the target traffic descriptor is determined based on the traffic descriptor information to specify the available network slice to be connected. After specifying the network slice, the target APN can be obtained to connect to the network slice and dial up to the Internet, thereby realizing the Windows-based network slice selection.

[0072] The following example illustrates how to obtain the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor.

[0073] In one embodiment, obtaining a target APN corresponding to a target traffic descriptor includes:

[0074] The target traffic descriptor is sent to the communication module so that the communication module obtains the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor; and the target APN sent by the communication module is received.

[0075] The network connection platform can also provide the communication module with the APN of the network slice represented by the traffic descriptor included in the traffic descriptor information. Therefore, the communication module can store the APN of each traffic descriptor and retrieve the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor therefrom.

[0076] In the above embodiments, the Windows device obtains the APN through the communication module. In other embodiments, since the APN corresponding to the slice network can be fixed, for example, with a fixed domain name and address, etc. Then, after the Windows device obtains the APN through the communication module, the obtained APN can be stored. Accordingly, when the target traffic descriptor is obtained next time, if the stored APN has the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor, the target APN can be obtained directly on the local machine, which can save communication costs and realize slice selection and dial-up connection faster.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining a target traffic descriptor based on traffic descriptor information includes:

[0078] A callback processing function pre-registered with the communication module is used to perform a validity check on the traffic descriptor information to obtain at least one traffic descriptor with validity; and a target traffic descriptor is determined from the obtained traffic descriptors.

[0079] Registering the callback processing function enables the communication module to understand the information that the Windows device needs to obtain, for example, enabling the communication module to obtain the format and parameter sequence of TDS transmitted to the Windows device.

[0080] The means of legitimacy checking include but are not limited to checking whether the number of traffic descriptors in the traffic descriptor information is a positive number, or detecting whether various attributes of the traffic descriptor are complete, such as priority attributes, QoS (Quality of Service) attributes, etc.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the Windows device pre-registers a WDS (Wireless Data Service) client that complies with the QMI (Qualcomm Modem Interface) protocol with the communication module; the request to obtain information is a QMI message. In this way, by setting the WDS client, it can send and receive QMI messages to communicate with the communication module.

[0082] The WDS client is used to handle functions related to data connections, such as establishing, configuring, and managing data connections on devices.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2 , a network slice selection method is provided, which is applied to a communication module, and the method includes steps S201-S203.

[0084] S201: receiving a request for obtaining information sent by a Windows device;

[0085] S202: In response to receiving the request to obtain information, obtain traffic descriptor information of the available network slices;

[0086] S203: Send traffic descriptor information to the Windows device so that the Windows device determines the target traffic descriptor based on the traffic descriptor information, obtains the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor, and dials to the network slice corresponding to the target APN.

[0087] In the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the Windows device sends a request to the communication module to obtain information so that the communication module responds to the request to obtain information, and obtains the traffic descriptor information of the available network slices on behalf of the Windows device. In this way, when the Windows device itself cannot obtain the network slice information, the traffic descriptor information obtained by the communication module can be obtained, and the target traffic descriptor is determined based on the traffic descriptor information to specify the available network slice to be connected. After specifying the network slice, the target APN can be obtained to connect to the network slice and dial up to the Internet, thereby realizing the Windows-based network slice selection.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present invention, the communication module performs the following steps to enable the Windows device to obtain the target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor:

[0089] Receiving a target traffic descriptor sent by the Windows device;

[0090] Obtain a target APN corresponding to the target traffic descriptor;

[0091] The acquired target APN is sent to the Windows device.

[0092] The following Figure 3 The shown embodiment illustrates the overall process of the above-mentioned network slice selection method.

[0093] Among them, Windows app is an application on the Windows device, which is used to execute the network slice selection method.

[0094] First, the Windows app registers the WDS client with the communication module and sends a message to the callback processing function through the WDS client.

[0095] After completing the registration, the Windows app sends a traffic descriptor information QMI message to the communication module, which is a request to obtain information. It means a request to obtain traffic descriptor information, that is, the traffic descriptor information of the available network slice. QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_REQ is the protocol field used in the QMI message.

[0096] The communication module replies with the QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_REQ processing result, where the protocol field used is QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_RESP. The processing result is used to indicate that traffic descriptor information has been obtained. Subsequently, the communication module obtains the traffic descriptor information and reports the specific result of the QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_REQ processing. The QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_IND field is used in the QMI_WDS_GET_TD_INFO_REQ message to carry traffic descriptor information TDs (traffic descriptors), which can contain multiple traffic descriptors TD.

[0097] Windows app checks whether the TD information is legal, that is, performs a legality check and selects the traffic descriptor TD with legality. From the legal TDs, it sends a QMI message to confirm which TD is enabled, that is, selects the target traffic descriptor. Among them, the QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_REQ field is used to specify the TD.

[0098] The communication module replies with the QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_REQ processing result. The QMI message uses the QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_RESP field to indicate that the target traffic descriptor has been received.

[0099] The communication module reports the specific result of the QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_REQ processing, that is, the communication module replies the APN information corresponding to the TD to the Windows app through a QMI message named QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_RESULT_IND, and uses the QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_RESULT_IND field to carry the APN.

[0100] The Windows app parses the APN information in QMI_WDS_PDU_SESSION_PARAM_LOOKUP_RESULT_IND to obtain the target APN, so that it can dial to the network slice corresponding to the target APN.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4 , provides a network slice selection device, applied to a Windows device, the device comprising:
