Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, embodiments of the present invention may be embodied as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Thus, embodiments of the invention may be embodied in the form of: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.
According to the embodiment of the invention, a method, a device and a network architecture for terminal access are provided.
Referring to fig. 2, a network architecture diagram of an exemplary application scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically illustrated.
As shown in fig. 2, the network architecture includes: a Central Unit (Central Unit) and a transmission point, wherein the transmission point has a radio frequency transmission capability and a certain operation processing capability, it is understood that the transmission point can also be referred to as: remote Unit (Remote Unit), distributed Unit (distributed Unit), Transmission Reception Point (TRP), Base Station (Base Station) or Transmission Point (Access Point), etc. Each central unit may establish connections with multiple transmission points, and each transmission point may also establish connections with multiple central units. The central unit comprises a control plane function and a user plane function; the control plane function of the central unit is responsible for functions of connection management, mobility management, selection of a user plane entity and the like; the user plane function of the central unit is responsible for caching and routing forwarding functions of terminal user plane data and control plane signaling and related processing functions of user plane safety, the user plane function of the central unit is responsible for forwarding data or signaling received from a transmission point to an external network or core network entity in the uplink direction, and the user plane function of the central unit is responsible for forwarding data or signaling received from the external network or core network to the transmission point in the downlink direction.
The user plane function of the transmission point is responsible for forwarding data or signaling received from the terminal to the central unit, or forwarding data received from the terminal to the external network, and the transmission point has a data routing function because the transmission point may need to forward data or signaling to different target networks or nodes in the uplink direction. Furthermore, if data is routed directly from the transfer point to an external data network, the transfer point needs to perform user plane security related processing functions. In the downlink direction, a transmission point is responsible for transmitting data or signaling received from a central unit, an external data network or a core network to a terminal (UE) over an air interface.
The user plane functions on the central unit and the transmission point refer to the functions of caching and routing forwarding of terminal user plane data and control plane signaling, and the user plane safety related processing function. The user plane functions may be realized in a centralized manner at a central location, or in a distributed manner at distributed transmission points. When the end user plane security function is performed in the user plane function of the central unit (e.g. corresponding to the PDCP layer protocol), the transmission point performs only the user plane forwarding function (below the RLC layer), and the user plane data is first converged to the user plane function of the central unit for processing before being routed to the external network. When the user plane security functions and routing functions of the terminal are performed at distributed transmission points (e.g. corresponding PDCP layer protocols and below, and gateway functions), the transmission points may directly route user plane data to external data networks.

Third embodiment
The process of the terminal initially accessing the network according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 5 in conjunction with the network architecture in the application scenario of fig. 2. In the process of initially accessing a network, a terminal establishes RRC connection with a control plane function (also referred to as a control plane function entity) of a central unit, the control plane function of the central unit allocates an access network terminal identifier for the terminal, generates a security context for the terminal, and configures service area information for the terminal, and after the terminal moves out of a service area, the terminal needs to initiate a location update process, which specifically includes the following steps:
step 501, after the terminal completes network selection, the terminal triggers a connection establishment process to the network side, the terminal sends a connection establishment request message to the transmission point, if the terminal does not send an access network terminal identifier to the transmission point (the terminal is not distributed with an effective access network terminal identifier in the initial access process) along with the connection request message, the transmission point randomly selects a central unit for the terminal, and forwards the connection establishment request message to a target central unit.

Fourth embodiment

In this embodiment, the new "service area" to which the terminal has moved can still be served by the original central unit, so the central unit updates the "service area" information of the terminal. Since the terminal is still served by the original central unit, the terminal identity of the access network of the terminal is unchanged.
Step 601, according to the air interface system broadcast information, after the terminal judges that the terminal moves out of the service area, the terminal sends a connection updating request to the network side. Along with the connection updating request, the terminal sends the self access network terminal identification to the access point, and the transmission point forwards the connection updating request message to the target central unit according to the central unit information in the terminal identification.
Step 602, the central unit determines the terminal context access network terminal identifier according to the obtained access network terminal identifier, and reconfigures the service area information for the terminal.
It should be noted that the access network terminal identifier may be obtained from the connection update request message, or may be obtained from the access point interface signaling, which is not limited to this.
It should be noted that, the central unit may determine the location information of the terminal according to the access point that receives the connection update request, or may carry the current location information of the terminal through the connection update request message, which is not limited to this.
Step 603, the central unit sends a connection update response message to the terminal, wherein the service area information newly allocated to the terminal by the central unit can be carried.
Step 604, the terminal sends a connection update complete message to the central unit.

Fifth embodiment
In connection with the network architecture in the application scenario of fig. 2, a service center unit replacement procedure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 7.
In this embodiment, after the terminal moves out of the service area of the original central unit, the central unit needs to be replaced by the terminal, and the control plane function of the terminal is transferred to the new central unit in the replacement process of the central unit. In the central unit replacement process, the new central unit serving the terminal will obtain the context information of the terminal from the original service central unit.
Step 701, according to the broadcast information of the air interface system, after the terminal judges that the terminal moves out of the service area, the terminal sends a connection updating request to the network side. And the transmission point randomly selects a new central unit for the terminal again if the transmission point does not establish connection with the central unit reported by the terminal according to the central unit identification information in the terminal identification.
Step 702, the new central unit determines the original service central unit of the terminal according to the central unit identification information in the obtained access network terminal identification. The new central unit reconfigures the service area information for the terminal after obtaining the context information of the terminal from the original central unit. In addition, the new central unit reallocates an access network terminal identifier for the terminal, wherein the identifier information of the new central unit is carried.
It should be noted that the access network terminal identifier may be obtained from the connection update request message, or may be obtained from the access point interface signaling, which is not limited to this.
It should be noted that, the central unit may determine the location information of the terminal according to the access point that receives the connection update request, or may carry the current location information of the terminal through the connection update request message, which is not limited to this.
Step 703, after the terminal saves the configuration information obtained from the control plane function of the central unit, it sends a connection establishment completion message to the control plane function of the central unit.
Step 704, if the control plane function of the central unit determines that the terminal needs to activate the security function, the control plane function may send a security activation indication to the terminal. After the security function is activated, the control plane messages and the user plane data need to be processed in security.
Step 705, after confirming the security context activation, the terminal sends a security activation completion message to the control plane function. After the security up-down activation, the signaling of the uplink and downlink control plane can be transmitted only after security related processing.
And the new central unit or the original central unit triggers the core network to update the service central unit information in the terminal context stored by the core network.
The embodiment of the invention can realize that the user plane functional entity obtains the context information required by the user plane processing after the control plane function is separated from the user plane function, and can be applied to the future 5G access network.
