Description

Method and device for accessing network slice

Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method and device for accessing network slices.

Background technique

With the continuous development of wireless communication networks, the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) introduced the concept of network slicing to the access network. A physical network is divided into multiple logical networks supporting different services. The network is a network slice, and a cell of an access network supports terminal devices within the cell range of the access network to access certain network slices. In this way, the access network device needs to send network slice list information to terminal devices within the cell range managed by the access network device through a system information broadcast (SIB) message, and the network slice list information includes the terminal device Which network slices can be accessed in the cell of the access network, or which network slices cannot be accessed.

Currently, before a terminal device accesses a network slice, it needs to read the SIB, and based on the SIB, determine whether the cell in which the terminal device is located supports the terminal device to access the network slice. If it supports, the terminal device initiates a connection request to the access network device that manages the cell; if not, the terminal device searches for other cells.

In an implementation manner, the access network device regularly broadcasts network slice list information on the air interface. In this manner, since the cells of the access network support access to many network slices, the network slice list information is broadcast on the air interface regularly, which consumes a lot of resources. .

In another implementation mode, the access network device broadcasts the network slice list information on the air interface when it receives a request from the terminal device to obtain network slice list information. In this way, the terminal device selects a cell of the access network every time It is necessary to request to obtain the network slice list information supported by the cell, and then determine whether the network slice can be accessed. The time is prolonged and the terminal equipment consumes more power.

The terminal device stores the message, and reports it to the first access network device through a minimization drive test (MDT) message, and the message is used for the first access network device to optimize the network. At the same time, the first access network device may send the message to the device where the operation administration and maintenance (OAM) is located, for the device to determine in which cells to enable and support the target network slice.

In this embodiment, the terminal device actively reports the identification information of the target network slice to the first access network device, so that the first access network device allocates the identification information of the terminal device to the terminal device, and the identification information of the terminal device is used for The first access network device selects the target cell. In this way, the terminal device can access the target network slice. On the one hand, it reduces the occupation of air interface broadcast resources by the network slice list information. On the other hand, the terminal device does not need to send a request to the first access network device to obtain the list information of network slices supported by the accessed cell, and determine the cell where the terminal device is located. Whether to support target network slicing. In this way, the efficiency of the terminal device accessing the target network slice is improved, and the energy consumption of the terminal device is reduced.

For machine type communication (MTC) services, 5G introduces the inactive (INACTIVE) state. When the terminal device has no data to transmit for a period of time, the access network device notifies the terminal device to enter the INACTIVE state. The user plane protocol stack is stored in the target cell, and the channel (such as N3 tunnel) used to transmit the service of the terminal device between the access network device and the core network device is also reserved. The access network device sends a cell list to the terminal device, and if the terminal device moves within the range of the cell list, there is no need to notify the access network device.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of a network structure applicable to the embodiment of the present application. In FIG. 4, a user plane function (UPF) 30 is connected to the target cell through a channel. The cell list sent by the access network device to the terminal device includes cell A, target cell, and cell B. The cell A, the target cell, and the cell B together form a RAN-based notification area (RNA). When the terminal device moves out of RNA, it needs to notify the access network device. In this way, as long as the terminal device is within the RAN range, it does not need to re-establish a connection with the access network device to transmit services. However, after introducing that each cell supports a certain network slice, if the service transmitted by the terminal device belongs to the target network slice, and the cell currently accessed by the terminal device does not support the target network slice. The terminal equipment needs to re-establish a connection with the access network equipment that manages the target cell to transmit services. In response to this, this application proposes a method for accessing network slicing. The second embodiment specifically describes the method for accessing network slicing.

Example two

As shown in FIG. 5, it is a schematic flowchart of another method for accessing network slicing provided by an embodiment of this application. Exemplarily, this embodiment may be applied to the communication system shown in FIG. 1. The method shown in Figure 5 may include the following steps:

S201: The terminal device sends the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell and the identification information of the target cell to the first access network device. The target cell is a cell that supports the target network slice. Wherein, the first access network device is the access network device accessed by the terminal device. The target network slice is a network slice that the terminal device requests to access, and the target network slice is a logical network that can provide a specific service for the terminal device. The first access network device is an access network device that manages the current cell, and the current cell is the cell accessed by the terminal device. The current cell does not support the target network slice.

In an implementation manner, after establishing an RRC connection with the first access network device, the terminal device sends the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell and the identification information of the target cell to the first access network device.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit how the terminal device sends the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell and the identification information of the target cell to the first access network device. For example, the identification information of the terminal equipment in the target cell and the identification information of the target cell may be carried in RRC signaling. For example, the terminal device sends an RRC connection resume (RRC connection resume) message to the first access network device, and the terminal device’s identification information in the target cell and the target cell’s identification information are carried in the RRC connection resume message (e.g., carried in the resume id). in). The identification information of the terminal device in the target cell and the identification information of the target cell may be carried in one or two new messages designed in the embodiment of the present application.

S202: The first access network device determines the second access network device according to the identification information of the target cell.

Specifically, the first access network device obtains the access network device corresponding to the identification information of the target cell according to the correspondence between the identification information of the multiple access network devices and the identification information of the cell managed by each access network device. And use the acquired identification information of the access network device as the identification information of the second access network device. Thus, the second access network device is determined.

S203: The first access network device determines that the second access network device and the first access network device are not the same access network device, and allocates the first interface to the terminal device according to the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell . Wherein, the first interface is used to receive the service sent by the second access network device to the terminal device.

Optionally, the first interface may be a port in the first access network device.

Optionally, the first interface is also used to send a service from the terminal device to the second access network device.

S204: The first access network device sends the identification information of the first interface and the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell to the second access network device.

This application does not limit the sending method for the first access network device to send the identification information of the first interface and the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell to the second access network device. For example, the first access network device may include the first The identification information of the interface and the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell. The identification information of the first interface and the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell may also be sent separately through multiple messages.

S205: The second access network device stores the identification information of the first interface, and allocates the second interface to the terminal device according to the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell. The second interface is used to receive the service from the terminal device sent by the first access network device.

Optionally, the second interface may be a port in the second access network device.

Optionally, the second interface is also used to send the service of the terminal device to the first access network device.

Subsequently, when the second access network device needs to send a service to the terminal device, it first sends the service to the first interface of the first access network device, and then the first access network sends the service to the terminal device.

S206: The second access network device sends the identification information of the second interface to the first access network device.

S207: The first access network device stores the identification information of the second interface.

Subsequently, when the first access network device needs to send the service from the terminal device to the second access network device, the service is sent to the second interface of the second access network device.

So far, the establishment of the channel established by the first access network device and the second access network device for the terminal device is completed.

The terminal device can access the target network slice through the first access network device, the channel, and the second access network device. Specifically, the terminal device sends a service to the UPF network element through the first access network device, the channel, and the second access network device in the current cell. The second access network device sends the service from the UPF network element and sent to the terminal device to the first access network device through the channel, and the first access network device sends the service to the terminal device.

In this embodiment, the first access network device establishes a channel for the terminal device together with the second access network device according to the received identification information of the terminal device in the target cell from the terminal device, thereby enabling the terminal device to pass through The first access network device, the channel, and the second access network device access the target network slice. The terminal device does not need to re-establish the RRC connection with the second access network device. The efficiency of terminal equipment accessing the target network slice is improved, and the energy consumption of the terminal equipment is reduced.

It should be noted that in the first embodiment, the terminal device finally transfers from the current cell to the target cell to access the target network slice. In the second embodiment, the terminal device does not need to be transferred to the target cell, but is still in the current cell, and the first access network device managing the current cell sends the service of the terminal device to the core network through the channel and the second access network device.

In addition, it should be noted that the first embodiment described above can be used in a scenario where a terminal device initially accesses a target network slice, and is aimed at a terminal device in an idle state. The terminal device in this state has not accessed the target network slice. The second embodiment can be used in a scenario where a terminal device in an inactive (INACTIVE) state restores the connection with the access network device. The terminal device in the inactive state has accessed the target network slice, and the terminal device stores the identification information of the target cell and the identification information of the terminal device in the target cell.
