Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are partial embodiments, not all embodiments, of the present application .

Before introducing the embodiment of the present invention, a simple introduction is first performed on a mode in which a current operator side takes a communication restriction measure for a user in a specific area, a network architecture of a 5G network that adopts SA networking based on a Service Based Architecture (SBA), and a user service request flow based on the network architecture.

Fig. 1 shows a manner in which an operator takes a communication restriction measure for a user in a specific area at present. When receiving a communication control requirement, a network control platform of an operator issues the communication control command to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), an Access Gateway Controller (AGCF), and a Session Border Controller (SBC) or a proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) in a specific area by issuing the command or manually processing the command, and the MSC issues the communication control command to a base station corresponding to the MSC so that the base station restricts communication of a wireless communication user in the specific area; the AGCF sends the communication control command to integrated access equipment (IAD) so that the IAD can carry out communication limitation on the IAD fixed telephone of the H.248 protocol in a specific area; and the SBC or the P-CSCF issues the communication regulation command to an Optical Network Unit (ONU) device, so that the ONU restricts communication with a fixed telephone and a terminal of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in a specific area.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a 5G network using SA networking based on a service framework, and as shown in fig. 2, the 5G network using SA networking based on a service framework includes network element functional entities such as a 5G (radio) access network (R) AN), a User Equipment (UE), a user plane function (user plane function, UPF), a data network (data network, DN), and network element functional entities in a 5G core network, wherein the network element functional entities in the 5G core network include AN AMF, AN SMF, AN authentication service function (authentication service provider function, AUSF), a network slice selection function (network slice selection, NSSF), a network capability open function (network capacity exchange function, NEF), a network element repository policy function (NF) policy function (NF admission function, NRF), a policy control function (policy function, PCF), a network management function (policy management function, PCF), a network capability exchange function (amsf) and AN afc), and a network management function (amsf) for performing service discovery and service discovery through a service management function, AN SMF interface, AN afc) and AN Afc (AMF) network interface, and AN afc) for providing a service management policy, wherein the service management function is used for a service management function for performing service discovery through a service discovery and AN service discovery through a service discovery, a service management function, a service discovery, a service management policy, a service management function, a network management function, a service management policy, a service management function, a network management function, a service management function, a network management function, a service management function, a network element management function, a network management.

Based on the network architecture shown in fig. 2, the process of initiating a service request by a user is as follows: a user sends a non-access stratum (NAS) message to an AMF through a UE, where the NAS message carries a session establishment request (PDU (protocol data Unit), slice selection assistance information (NSSAI), and a Data Network Name (DNN); after receiving the NAS message, the AMF selects an SMF according to the NSSAI and the DNN, and finishes a service request process through the SMF.

Therefore, the deployment mode of the 5G network is completely different from that of the 3G network or the 4G network, and if a mode of performing a communication restriction measure in the 3G network or the 4G network is used for reference, that is, a communication control command is sent to an access network device in a specific area, and then the communication restriction measure is performed on a user accessing the access network device through the access network device, since the 5G network initiates a service request process through the AMF and the SMF, it can be considered that the communication restriction measure is performed on the user in the specific area through the AMF and the SMF.

Examples 1,

The types of 5G network communication regulation methods provided by the embodiments of the present application are applied to a 5G network communication regulation apparatus, where the 5G network communication regulation apparatus may be a 5G access network device 20 or a chip in the 5G access network device 20, and the following description is made by implementing the method with the 5G access network device as shown in fig. 6, where the 5G network communication regulation method specifically includes the following steps:

s601, receiving a control command.

Wherein the policing command comprises: the regulatory region information.

The regulation command may be generated by the operator according to the communication regulation requirement of the department , and after receiving the regulation requirement, the operator may send the generated regulation command to all 5G access network devices 20 to trigger the 5G access network devices 20 to execute the 5G network communication regulation method in the embodiment of the present application.

The regulation command may include regulation area information, and may further include or more items of necessary information related to the regulation of communication, such as a regulation time, a regulation user identifier, and a regulation policy, based on information carried in the regulation requirement of the relevant section .

The controlled area information may be information that can locate a position of the controlled area, such as a cell identifier and a geographic coordinate of the controlled area. The regulated area information may be, for example, a cell ID, longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to a regulated area, and the like.

The regulated time may be a start-stop time, etc. Illustratively, the regulation time may be 9 o 'clock, 19 o' clock, etc.

The area where the communication regulation measure is performed and the implementation time of the communication regulation can be determined by the regulated area information and the regulated time. When the control message includes the control time, after receiving the control command, the 5G access network device 20 may perform the subsequent steps at the start time of the control time, stop the control process after the control time is over, or start to perform the subsequent steps after receiving the command, and stop the control process when the control duration time meets the control time; when the regulation time is not included in the regulation message, the 5G access network device 20 may continuously perform the subsequent regulation step until the regulation stop command is received.

The controlled subscriber identity may be a mobile phone number of a subscriber, an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the user equipment 30, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the user equipment 30, and other unique information capable of identifying the identity of the subscriber or the user equipment 30.

By regulating the user identification, the 5G access network device 20 can more accurately identify the user group to be regulated. When the regulation command includes the regulation user identifier, it indicates that a specific user or a specific user group needs to be regulated, and at this time, the 5G access network device 20 may identify the specific user or the specific user group according to the regulation user identifier to perform communication regulation; when the regulation command does not include the regulation user identifier, it indicates that all users in the regulation area corresponding to the regulation area information need to be regulated, and the 5G access network device 20 may regulate all users in the regulation area according to the regulation command.

The regulation policy may be made by the relevant part according to actual conditions, made by the operator according to regulation requirements, or preset in the 5G core network device 10 by the operator, for example, the regulation policy may be to limit the call of the regulation user, limit the data connection of the regulation user, completely limit the communication of the regulation user, give different communication rights according to different regulation user identifications, or the like.

The user needing to be controlled and how to control the user can be determined through the control strategy and the control user identification, so that the control of different modes on the user can be realized according to the actual control requirement.

According to actual conditions, after receiving the regulatory requirement, the operator may screen, according to the regulatory region information, the target 5G access network device 20 that can cover the regulatory region corresponding to the regulatory region information. At this time, the operator only needs to send the policing command to the target 5G access network device 20, and does not need to send to all 5G access network devices 20.

S602, determining a target user according to the regulated area information.

And the target user is positioned in the controlled area corresponding to the controlled area information.

Upon receiving the policing command, the 5G access network device 20 first determines the target user to determine the users that may need to be policed within the policed area. Optionally, when the control command includes the control time, the target user is determined according to the control area information at the starting time of the control time.

When the regulation time is included in the regulation command, it indicates that the communication regulation of the regulation user is required within a specific time. Meanwhile, in an actual environment, the user may be continuously moving, and the user may move from inside the regulated area to outside the regulated area, or from outside the regulated area to inside the regulated area. Therefore, when the regulation command includes the regulation time, the 5G access network device 20 only needs to determine the target user in the regulation area when the starting time of the regulation time arrives, so as to ensure that only the user located in the regulation area in the regulation time is regulated. For a user entering the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 after the starting time of the regulation time comes, after the user completes a handover or access procedure, it may be determined whether the user is a target user in the regulation area.

Optionally, a part of the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20, which is overlapped with the regulated area corresponding to the regulated area information, is determined as a target area, and a user in the coverage area is determined as a target user.

When the 5G access network device 20 determines that the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 is overlapped with the regulated area, it is determined that the 5G access network device 20 can cover the regulated area corresponding to the regulated area information, and at this time, in order to obtain a better regulation effect, all users in the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 may be determined as target users that may need to be regulated.

Optionally, a portion of the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20, which coincides with the regulatory area corresponding to the regulatory area information, is determined as a target area, and a user in the target area is determined as a target user.

The 5G access network device 20 may acquire geographic location information such as longitude and latitude corresponding to a cell ID, a sector, and the like stored in a coverage area of the device itself, map the geographic location information to a parameter that can be identified by the network, and determine whether the coverage area of the device itself coincides with a regulatory area corresponding to the regulatory area information, thereby determining whether the device itself can cover the regulatory area. When the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 does not coincide with the regulated area, it indicates that the 5G access network device 20 does not need to perform communication regulation, and the 5G access network device 20 may continue a normal working process.

When the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 overlaps with the regulated area, it indicates that the 5G access network device 20 needs to perform communication regulation, and in order to perform more accurate regulation, a target area that needs to be regulated in the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 may be determined by determining a portion where the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 overlaps with the regulated area corresponding to the regulated area information, so as to avoid affecting the communication of users that are in the coverage area of the 5G access network device 20 but not in the regulated area.

For example, the 5G access network device 20 may be a 5G base station, the coverage area of the 5G access network device includes A, B, C three areas, the regulated area corresponding to the regulated area information may be a D area, and the regulated time may be 9, start 19, and end 19. After receiving the regulation command, the 5G base station acquires A, B, C geographical location information of three areas, determines that there is a part where the A, B area and the D area overlap, and there is no part where the C area and the D area overlap, determines A, B area as a target area, and determines that all users in the current A, B area are target users when the current time is 9 o' clock.

S603, sending a re-registration message to the user equipment of the target user.

The user equipment 30 of the target user is caused to send a registration message to the 5G access network device 20 by sending a re-registration message to the user equipment 30 of the target user.

S604, receiving a registration message sent by the user equipment of the target user according to the re-registration message.

After receiving the re-registration message, the user equipment 30 of the target user initiates a re-registration process, and sends a registration message, such as a registration message carrying information such as a user identifier, to the 5G access network device 20.

S605, when the target user is determined to be the control user according to the control command and the registration message, routing the registration message of the control user to a control network element.

After receiving the registration message sent by the target user, the 5G access network device 20 may identify the target user in step according to the regulation command and the registration message, determine a regulated user that needs to perform communication regulation, and avoid affecting communication of the unregulated user.

After the identification of the control user is completed, the 5G access network device 20 routes the registration message of the control user to the control network element, so that the control network element selects a corresponding control policy to control the control user according to the registration message. The 5G access network device 20 may obtain the relevant information of the policing network element, which is preset or carried in the policing command, so as to route the registration message of the policing user to the policing network element. The policing network element may be preconfigured in the 5G core network device 10 or deployed through a virtualized instance after receiving a corresponding policing command, for example, a policing network element such as GZ-AMF/GZ-SMF.

Optionally, the regulation command further includes a regulation user identifier, the registration message includes the user identifier, and the 5G access network device 20 may determine that the user identifier in the registration message is the same as the regulation user identifier of any in the regulation command, and then determine that the target user is the regulation user.

At this time, the 5G access network device 20 may identify the target user according to the user identifier in the registration message sent by the user device 30 of the target user and the regulatory user identifier, and use the target user whose user identifier is the same as the regulatory user identifier of anyn as the regulatory user.

Illustratively, the user identifier may be a mobile phone number, and the regulation command includes the mobile phone number of the user to be regulated. The 5G access network device 20 obtains the mobile phone number of the controlled user in the control command, obtains the mobile phone number carried in the registration message sent by the user device 30 of the target user, compares the mobile phone number of the target user with the mobile phone number of the controlled user, and takes the target user with the same mobile phone number as the controlled user.

Optionally, the 5G access network device 20 may determine, according to the regulation command and the registration message, the target user located in the regulation area corresponding to the regulation area information as the regulation user.

When the control command does not contain the control user identifier, it indicates that all users in the control area corresponding to the control area information need to be controlled.

Optionally, in some scenarios of the 5G network, there may be a large number of internet of things users or enterprise network users accessing the 5G network through the 5G access network device 20, and these users do not need to perform communication regulation, and regulation of these users may cause unnecessary loss, such as applications such as vehicle networking that is performing automatic driving, enterprise network users that are processing important data, and the like. At this time, the operator may configure the 5G access network device 20 according to the regulation requirement or the actual situation, so that the 5G access network device 20 can regulate the user of the specific service type. Of course in this case the policing command may not include a policing user identity.

Thus, the 5G access network device 20 also needs to determine the traffic type of the target user to determine the regulated user among the target users. When all target users need to be regulated, user groups are distinguished through service types, so that influence on some user groups needing communication guarantee is avoided. Specifically, the operator may preset a correspondence between the data network name and the service type in the 5G access network device 20 according to an actual situation, and the 5G access network device 20 may determine, according to the correspondence, the service type corresponding to the data network name of the target user as the service type of the target user. Illustratively, the service types may include: internet of things services, enterprise network services, and common services other than internet of things services and enterprise network services, and the like. The 5G access network device 20 may obtain a data network name, that is, a DNN identifier, carried in the registration message sent by the user device 30 of the target user, to determine the service type of the target user.

And then, when the service type of the target user is determined to belong to the regulated service type, determining the target user to be the regulated user. When the service type of the target user is determined to belong to the control service type, it is determined that the target user does not belong to a user group requiring communication guarantee, such as an internet of things user, an enterprise network user, and the like, and at this time, the target user can be identified as a control user. When the service type of the target user is determined to be the service of the internet of things or the service of the enterprise network, the target user is judged to belong to a user group needing communication guarantee, the target user is determined to be a non-controlled user, and the registration message of the user is routed to a normal network element. The policing the traffic type may include: common services other than internet of things services and enterprise network services.

Optionally, when the 5G access network device 20 determines that the target user is an unregulated user according to the regulation command and the registration message, it indicates that the user does not need to be regulated, and at this time, the 5G access network device 20 may route the registration message of the user to a normal network element of the 5G core network device 10, for example, the registration message may be an AMF/SMF instantiated by the 5G core network device 10, so that the user may perform communication normally after completing the registration procedure.

As shown in fig. 6, the 5G core network device 10 or a chip in the 5G core network device 10 may regulate the regulated user determined by the 5G access network device 20 according to the following method.

S606, receiving a regulation command.

After receiving the policing command, the 5G core network device 10 may determine how to perform the policing according to information carried in the policing command. The 5G core network device 10 may be preconfigured or after receiving the corresponding control command, deploy a control network element, such as a control network element like GZ-AMF/GZ-SMF, through a virtualized instance to control the control user, and also deploy a normal network element like AMF/SMF to provide service for the non-control user.

The 5G core network device 10 may generate or obtain a regulation policy, according to an actual situation, the regulation policy may be formulated by the relevant part according to the actual situation or sent to the 5G core network device 10 through a regulation command after formulated by an operator according to a regulation requirement, or the regulation policy may be preset in the 5G core network device 10 by the operator, when the regulation policy is not carried in the regulation command, the 5G core network device 10 may execute a preset regulation policy, when the regulation policy is carried in the regulation command, the 5G core network device 10 may directly obtain the regulation policy and execute the regulation policy in the regulation command.

S607, receiving the registration message of the control user.

The 5G core network device 10 receives the registration message of the policing user routed to the policing network element by the 5G access network device 20, so as to police the policing user in a corresponding manner.

S608, the control network element controls the communication of the control user according to the control strategy.

The control network element can perform differentiated communication control on the control user according to the control strategy. If different communication rights are given according to different controlled user identities, the controlled network element may obtain the user identity in the registration message of the controlled user, and allocate a corresponding communication right to the user according to the controlled user identity corresponding to the user identity, so as to perform differentiated communication control on different users.
