As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.
[0111] The core network equipment may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: core network node, core network function, mobility management entity (MME), access mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), user plane function (UPF), policy control function (PCF), policy and charging rules function unit (PCRF), edge application service discovery function (EASDF), unified data management (UDM), unified data repository (UDR), home subscriber server (HSS), centralized network configuration (CNC), network storage function (NRF), network exposure function (NEF), local NEF (L-NEF), binding support function (BSF), application function ( It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the core network device in the NR system is introduced as an example, and the specific type of the core network device is not limited.
[0112] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information processing and transmission method, apparatus, access network equipment, and core network equipment to enable communication between A-IoT devices.
[0113] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
[0114] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by an access network device and includes:
[0115] Step S201: receiving authorization information of at least one terminal from a core network device;
[0116] In some embodiments, the terminal mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to an environmental Internet of Things device.
[0117] Step S202: providing services for a first terminal that is authorized among the at least one terminal according to the authorization information;
[0118] In some embodiments, the first terminal is one or more authorized terminals among the at least one terminal.
[0119] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the authorization information of the environmental Internet of Things devices is issued through the core network equipment, so that the access network equipment can provide services for the authorized environmental Internet of Things devices, thereby realizing the communication of the authorized environmental Internet of Things devices and ensuring the communication reliability of the environmental Internet of Things devices.
[0120] In some embodiments, the ambient Internet of Things (A-IoT) device mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be referred to as an enabled IoT device or a passive IoT device.
[0121] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the authorization information includes at least one of the following:
[0122] A11, first indication information of whether one or more terminals among the at least one terminal are authorized;
[0123] In some embodiments, in this case, each environmental Internet of Things device will correspond to a first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the environmental Internet of Things device is authorized (authorized) or unauthorized (deauthorized, that is, not authorized); for example, the first indication information can be indicated by a bit, when the bit value is 1, it indicates authorization, when the bit value is 0, it indicates unauthorization; or, for example, when the bit value is 0, it indicates authorization, when the bit value is 1, it indicates unauthorization.
[0124] A12. a device type of the authorized terminal in the at least one terminal;
[0125] This situation can be understood as the core network device informing the access network device of the device type of the authorized environmental IoT device. That is to say, when the access network device receives the device type for a certain environmental IoT device, the access network device determines that the environmental IoT device is authorized and what type of device the environmental IoT device is.
[0126] In some embodiments, the device type may be a type determined by classifying based on the capabilities of the environmental Internet of Things device, or a type determined by classifying based on the working status of the environmental Internet of Things device.
[0127] For example, when classifying environmental IoT devices based on their capabilities, they can be divided into Type 1, Type 2, etc. Type 1 devices have energy storage capabilities, no downlink / uplink amplifiers, no independent signal generation capabilities, and need to transmit signals through backscattering; Type 2 devices have energy storage capabilities, downlink / uplink amplifiers, and the stored energy can be used to amplify the power of the backscattered signal. They have independent signal generation capabilities, and the uplink transmission can be generated by the device or performed through backscattering.
[0128] For example, when classifying environmental IoT devices based on their working status, they can be divided into static environmental IoT devices, dynamic environmental IoT devices, etc.
[0129] A13. Service type authorized for the at least one terminal;
[0130] It should be noted that in this case, it can be understood that the core network device notifies the access network device of the authorized service type for each environmental Internet of Things device. For example, environmental Internet of Things device 1 can perform service types 1, 2 and 3. The core network device notifies the access network device that the authorized service type for environmental Internet of Things device 1 is service type 2. Then the access network device can only provide services for service type 2 of environmental Internet of Things device 1, and the access network device cannot provide services for service types 1 and 3 of environmental Internet of Things device 1.
[0131] It should be noted that when the core network device configures authorization information, it is usually done for a single device, that is, each environmental Internet of Things device will correspond to an authorization information, and the authorization information of different environmental Internet of Things devices is independent and can be sent through the same message, that is, the core network device can send the authorization information of multiple environmental Internet of Things devices to the access network device through one message.
[0132] It should be noted that after receiving the authorization information, the access network device can provide services for the authorized environmental Internet of Things devices, or provide services for the specific business types authorized by the environmental Internet of Things devices.
[0133] In some embodiments, the specific implementation method of the core network device obtaining the authorization information of the terminal may include the following process:
[0134] Step S1: Receive third indication information sent by the access network device, where the third indication information includes at least one of the following: an indication that the at least one terminal is an environmental Internet of Things device, and identification information of the at least one terminal;
[0135] That is to say, the access network device needs to send the third indication information to the core network device. In some embodiments, the access network device should send the third indication information to the core network device before the access network device receives the authorization information of at least one terminal from the core network device.
[0136] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the third indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0137] B11, an indication that the at least one terminal is an environmental IoT device;
[0138] It should be noted that this indication is used to indicate that the terminal is an environmental Internet of Things device. For example, if the third indication information received by the core network device includes this indication, the core network device can determine that the access network device is sending the third indication information for the environmental Internet of Things device.
[0139] B12. identification information of the at least one terminal;
[0140] For example, the identification information may be a temporary mobile subscription identifier (TMSI) of a fifth generation system (5GS), or the identification information may be a newly defined temporary identifier.
[0141] Step S2: Acquire at least one of the contract information and capability information of the at least one terminal according to the third indication information;
[0142] It should be noted that once the core network device determines which environmental Internet of Things device it is, it can obtain the contract information of the environmental Internet of Things device from the corresponding node or its own storage information. The contract information can indicate whether the environmental Internet of Things device is authorized, the authorized service type, etc.; it can also determine the capability information of the environmental Internet of Things device from the corresponding node or its own storage information. The capability information is used to indicate the device type of the environmental Internet of Things device and / or the service type that can be supported, etc.
[0143] It should be noted that the core network device can determine which terminals need to obtain contract information and / or capability information based on the third indication information, and then the core network device can obtain at least one item of contract information and capability information of at least one terminal or part of all of the determined terminals; in some embodiments, the core network device can obtain the contract information and / or capability information of only one terminal at a time, or it can obtain the contract information and / or capability information of multiple terminals at a time.
[0144] Step S3: Determine authorization information of the at least one terminal based on at least one of the contract information and capability information of the at least one terminal;
[0145] In some embodiments, the authorization information of each terminal is determined by its corresponding contract information and / or capability information.
[0146] In some embodiments, the core network device can determine whether the environmental Internet of Things device is authorized and / or the service type authorized for the environmental Internet of Things device through the contract information and / or capability information.
[0147] In some embodiments, in one implementation, the method further includes:
[0148] receiving authorization change information of at least one terminal from the core network device;
[0149] If it is determined according to the authorization change information that the status of the second terminal in the at least one terminal has changed from authorized to deauthorized, stop providing services for the second terminal;
[0150] In some embodiments, the second terminal is one or more terminals among the at least one terminal that are changed from authorized to deauthorized.
[0151] This situation can be understood as follows: after the core network device notifies the access network device of the authorization information of the environmental Internet of Things device for the first time, in the subsequent process, if the contract information, capability information or other information that affects the authorization of the environmental Internet of Things device changes, the core network device can also change the authorization information of the environmental Internet of Things device, so that the access network device can adjust the communication strategy in time to avoid providing services to unauthorized environmental Internet of Things devices.
[0152] In some embodiments, the authorization change information includes at least one of the following:
[0153] C11. Second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that one or more terminals among the at least one terminal are in an authorized or deauthorized state;
[0154] C12. a device type of the authorized terminal among the at least one terminal;
[0155] C13. The service type for which the at least one terminal is authorized.
[0156] It should be noted that the authorization change information can be understood as a type of authorization information, but it may be different from the authorization information sent previously. After receiving the authorization change information, the access network device can re-determine the authorization of the environmental Internet of Things device based on the difference from the previous authorization information. When the environmental Internet of Things device changes from authorization to deauthorization, the access network device stops providing services for the environmental Internet of Things device; when the specific service type of the environmental Internet of Things device changes from authorization to deauthorization, the access network device stops providing services for the specific service type of the environmental Internet of Things device.
[0157] It should be noted that the access network device mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to a device on the access network side, which may also be called a network device. For example, the access network device may be a base station.
[0158] The specific application of the embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated below with examples.
[0159] As shown in Figure 3, the specific implementation process includes:
[0160] Step 31: The environmental Internet of Things device accesses the base station and sends an identifier of the environmental Internet of Things device to the base station;
[0161] For example, the identifier may be a fifth generation short temporary mobile subscription identifier (5G-S-TMSI) or a newly defined temporary identifier.
[0162] Step 32: The base station sends an initial terminal message (Initial UE Message) to the core network device, where the initial terminal message includes third indication information;
[0163] In some embodiments, the base station should select AMF based on the identification of the environmental IoT device and send the initial terminal message to the core network device through AMF.
[0164] Step 33: The core network device sends authorization information to the base station;
[0165] In some embodiments, the core network device decides to accept access to the ambient IoT device based on at least one of the contract information and capability information of the ambient IoT device indicated by the third indication information. In this case, the authorization information may include at least one of the following:
[0166] First indication information of authorization of environmental IoT device;
[0167] Device type of ambient IoT devices;
[0168] Business types authorized for environmental IoT devices.
[0169] It should also be noted that the core network device can send an initial context establishment request message to the base station, and the initial context establishment request message includes authorization information of the ambient Internet of Things device.
[0170] Step 34: The base station sends a context establishment completion message to the core network device.
