Embodiments of the present invention may perform a variety of interactions including the service identification of a third party facilitator. An embodiment of the network service method of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 2.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a network service method according to some embodiments of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, the network service method of this embodiment includes steps S202 to S204.

In step S202, the base station sends a first bearer message to the core network device, where the first bearer message includes an identifier of a third party service provider supported by a cell of the base station.

In some embodiments, the core network device is an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF).

In step S204, the base station receives a second bearer message sent by the core network device, where the second bearer message includes an identifier of a third party service provider supported by the core network device.

The execution order of steps S202 and S204 is not limited in the present invention.

In some embodiments, the base station and the core network device exchange the identifier of the third party service provider in advance before the user accesses, for example, when an interface is established, or information is updated, and the like.

In some embodiments, the first bearer message is an interface SETUP REQUEST message (NG SETUP REQUEST) and the second bearer message is an interface SETUP RESPONSE message (NG SETUP RESPONSE).

In some embodiments, the first bearer message is a base station information UPDATE message (RAN CONFIGURATION UPDATE), and the core network device may feed back an information UPDATE confirmation message (RAN CONFIGURATION UPDATE acknowledgement) after acquiring the message; the second bearer message is a core network information UPDATE message (AMF CONFIGURATION UPDATE), and the base station may feed back an information UPDATE confirmation message (AMF CONFIGURATION UPDATE acknowledgement) after acquiring the message.

Therefore, the identification of the third-party service provider can be interacted by utilizing the interaction processes of interface establishment, information updating and the like, so that the base station and the core network can know the supporting condition of the other party to the third-party service provider in advance, and the processing speed of the subsequent operation process is improved.

In some embodiments, in response to receiving an access request sent by a terminal of a user, a base station sends a first bearer message to a core network device. Therefore, the base station and the core network can interact the support condition of the third-party service provider when the user has the access requirement, and the network resource is saved.

Thus, the base station can interact with the service identification list of the third-party service provider supported by the base station and the core network through the interface between the base station and the core network. When the base station and the core network device support a certain third-party service provider at the same time, network service can be provided for users under the third-party service provider.

By the method of the above embodiment, the network operator can make an unauthorized user obtain network service by mutually authorizing with the industry vertical network or the third party network, for example, make a public user obtain a private network service, or provide a private network user with service under other networks. Therefore, the user can enjoy the cross-network service, and the flexibility of the network service is improved.

In some embodiments, the base station adds, in the broadcast message sent, an identification of a third-party service provider supported by both the cell of the base station and the core network device, so that the user supporting the third-party service provider in the broadcast message accesses the network. An embodiment of the terminal access method of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 3.

Fig. 3 illustrates a flow diagram of a terminal access method according to some embodiments of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the terminal access method of this embodiment includes steps S302 to S312.

In step S302, the base station transmits a broadcast message, where the broadcast message includes an identifier of a third-party service provider supported by both a cell of the base station and the core network device.

In some embodiments, the broadcast message is a SIB1 message.

In some embodiments, the broadcast message includes a correspondence of a Cell identification (Cell ID) of the base station to an identification of one or more third party providers.

In step S304, in the case that the third party service provider supported by the user is included in the third party service provider in the broadcast message, the terminal transmits an access request to the base station.

In step S306, the base station obtains the identifier of the third party service provider selected by the terminal. The third-party service provider selected by the terminal is the third-party service provider to be used by the terminal in the current access, and is one of the third-party service providers supported by the user of the terminal.

In some embodiments, the base station obtains the identity of the third party service provider selected by the terminal through an RRC connection Setup Complete (RRC Setup Complete) message.

In step S308, the base station sends a terminal authentication request to the core network device, where the terminal authentication request includes an identifier of the third-party service provider selected by the terminal.

In some embodiments, the core network device authenticates by: the core network equipment acquires user information from a database of a third-party service provider selected by the terminal; and responding to the user information which comprises the user corresponding to the terminal authentication request, and sending an authentication result passing the authentication to the base station by the core network equipment.

In some embodiments, the terminal authentication request is an INITIAL terminal MESSAGE (INITIAL UE MESSAGE).

In some embodiments, the core network device may perform, in addition to authentication, subsequent operations such as resource scheduling control by using the identifier of the third-party service provider selected by the terminal in the terminal authentication request.

In step S310, the core network device passes the terminal authentication request.

In step S312, the base station allows the terminal to access.

By the method of the embodiment, the base station enables the terminal supporting the same third-party service provider to access the network by carrying the identifier of the third-party service provider in the broadcast message. Therefore, the user can access across the network, and the flexibility of the network service is improved.

An embodiment of the paging method of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 4.

Fig. 4 illustrates a flow diagram of a paging method according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the paging method of this embodiment includes steps S402 to S404.

In step S402, the base station acquires a PAGING message (PAGING) sent by the core network device, where the PAGING message includes an identifier of a third-party service provider selected by a paged user.

In step S404, the base station transmits paging information on a cell supporting the third party service provider selected by the paged user. That is, the base station does not transmit paging information on cells that do not support the third party service provider selected by the paged user.

Therefore, the base station only sends the paging message on the cell which can be accessed by the called party, thereby saving network resources and improving the success rate of terminal paging.

Some application scenarios of the invention are exemplarily described below.

In an exemplary scenario, a user U1 of a public network signs up with a third party facilitator S1, and some private networks N1 and S1 have preauthorized with each other. The core network device AMF1 and the base station NB1 which provide the N1 network service exchange the identification of the third party service provider in advance, store the identification, and discover that both support S1. NB1 sends a broadcast message including the identity of S1. When the terminal UE1 of U1 is within the coverage of N1, the UE1 receives the broadcast message and finds that the identity of S1 is included therein. The UE1 may send an access request to NB 1. When the AMF1 passes the authentication of the U1, the user U1 of the public network can use the network service provided by the private network N1.

In another exemplary scenario, a user U2 of a private network signs up with a third party facilitator S2, and public networks N2 and S2 have preauthorized with each other. The core network device AMF2 and the base station NB2 which provide the N2 network service exchange the identification of the third party service provider in advance, store the identification, and discover that both support S2. When the terminal UE2 of U2 is in the coverage of N2, the UE1 receives the broadcast message and finds that the identity of S1 is included therein. The UE1 may send an access request to NB 1. When the AMF1 passes the authentication of the U1, the user U1 of the public network can use the network service provided by the private network N1.

In yet another exemplary scenario, a private network N3 is pre-authorized with a third party facilitator S3. The core network device AMF3 and the base station NB3 which provide the N3 network service exchange the identification of the third party service provider in advance and store the identification, and both the identification and the storage are found to support S3, and the cell 1 of the NB3 supports S3 and the cell 2 does not support S3. When the NB3 receives the paging message sent by the AMF3, it finds that the called subscriber has selected S3. NB3 sends the paging message through cell 1 and not through cell 2.

Thus, the present invention can be applied to a variety of network service scenarios.
