The session establishment device 200 may comprise a processor 201 and a memory 202, wherein the processor 201 and the memory 202 may be connected by a bus, such as any suitable bus, e.g. an I2C (Inter-integrated Circuit) bus.

A general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a session establishment method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Step S110, when a 5G network registration request sent by an AMF network element is received, acquiring a query result of first slice subscription information of user equipment based on a user equipment identifier in the 5G network registration request;
the step S110 specifically includes:
and when the 5G network registration request is received, sending a subscription information query request carrying the user equipment identifier to the HSS network element so that the HSS can query the first slicing subscription information based on the user equipment identifier and feed back a query result of the first slicing subscription information.
In this embodiment, when a User Equipment (UE) enters a 5G coverage area, for example, an NG-RAN access device or a device accessing a core network (base station, broadband network service network manager, etc.), a 4G is switched to a 5G, that is: the UE sends a 5G network registration request to an access and mobility management network element (Access and Mobility Management function, AMF), which invokes a Numd-SDM servitization interface, and sends a query request carrying a user equipment identity to the UDIWF network element.
The AMF network element is used as a control plane access network element of a user and is used for taking charge of the functions of registration management, connection management, security management, mobility management and the like of the user; the session establishment method provided by the embodiment is applied to a UDIWF network element, wherein the UDIWF network element is used for inquiring slice subscription information, inquiring a 5G network registration account opening template, sending a 5G registration account opening instruction to a user home server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS), triggering account opening operation and the like; the user equipment identity is an international mobile subscriber identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI), which is a number uniquely identifying a mobile subscriber in a 2G/3G/4G mobile communications network, the longest number being 15 digits. In order to meet the interoperability scenarios and requirements of operators 5G and 4G, the permanent identifier (subscription permanent identifier, SUPI) of the subscription of the 5G user adopts an IMSI format, and the IMSI format is the same as that of the 4G.
It can be understood that the 5G user is also a 4G user by default, so that in order to facilitate unified user data management when the 5G user performs 4G/5G interoperability, when setting a unified data management (unified data management, UDM) network element, an operator requires that the UDM network element also has the function of an HSS network element, that is, sets an HSS/UDM converged network element.
The UDIWF network element determines the UE-home HSS network element based on the IMSI of the UE.
The HSS network element is a subscriber database of the 4G core network, and is configured to store and manage subscriber data such as 4G subscriber subscription information, security information, location information, routing information, and the like.
The HSS network element can inquire the corresponding subscription information based on the IMSI of the UE, and returns an inquiry result to the UDIWF network element.
If no subscription information corresponding to the UE is queried, the UE does not perform 5G registration, that is, the UE does not open the 5G service.
Step S120, if the query result is that the first slice subscription information does not exist, determining a 5G network registration account opening template corresponding to the user equipment identifier in an HSS network element;
currently, when receiving a query result returned by an HSS network element and not querying first slice subscription information, the UDIWF network element sends a 5G registration account opening instruction of the UE to the HSS network element, acquires 4G network subscription information corresponding to the UE, generates 5G network subscription information corresponding to the UE according to the 4G network subscription information corresponding to the UE, and then sends a location cancel instruction to a mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME) at the same time. And after receiving the position cancellation instruction, the MME network element separates the UE and sends a PDN connection deletion instruction to a service network manager corresponding to the UE. Thereby, the subscription information corresponding to the UE is updated from the 4G network subscription information to the 5G network subscription information. The operation of updating the 4G network subscription information into the 5G network subscription information is triggered when the UDIWF network element sends the 5G registration account opening instruction of the UE to the HSS network element, so that the PDN connection is deleted before the AMF network element acquires the PDN connection corresponding to the UE, and the reestablishment of the 5G network session is caused.
In this embodiment, in order to avoid the problem of creating a 5G network session reestablishment, when receiving a query result returned by the HSS network element and not querying the first slice subscription information, the UDIWF network element delays sending a 5G registration account opening instruction of the UE to the HSS network element, and determines, according to the IMSI of the UE, corresponding second slice subscription information in the HSS network element, thereby directly determining, in the HSS network element, the second slice subscription information corresponding to the UE, and avoiding sending, to the HSS network element, a 5G registration account opening instruction that causes PDN connection deletion.
The step S120 specifically includes:
and if the query result is that the first piece of subscription information does not exist, querying a template corresponding to the user equipment identifier in the HSS network element according to a preset unowned query strategy, and taking the template as the 5G network registration account opening template.
In this embodiment, a query policy when no account is opened is configured in advance in a UDIWF network element, and the query policy is used to determine a 5G network registration account opening template corresponding to the UE according to a 5G account opening template corresponding to each user equipment pre-stored in the HSS network element by the IMSI of the UE when the slice subscription information corresponding to the UE is not queried in the HSS network element. The 5G account opening templates corresponding to the user equipment comprise information such as network slices corresponding to the user equipment. Therefore, by inquiring the strategy when the user is not in an account, which is configured in the UDIWF network element, the registration account opening template corresponding to the user equipment which is not registered in the HSS network element is directly inquired, and a 5G registration account opening instruction which leads to PDN connection deletion is prevented from being sent to the HSS network element.
In a specific embodiment, the 5G account opening templates corresponding to the user equipment may also be stored in a unified database (unified data repository, UDR). The UDR network element is used as a unified database in the 5G system, and is responsible for storing user structured data, including user subscription data, user policy data, application data, and capability opening data, and providing a data access interface for network elements such as UDM, PCF, NEF at the front end to access. Generally, in order to facilitate unified user data management when a 5G user performs 4G/5G interoperability, when an operator sets a UDR network element corresponding to a UDM network element, the UDR network element is required to have a function of storing data of HSS at the same time, that is, the UDR network element supports storing data of subscription, security, routing, location, and the like related to the user 4G at the same time. In the 5G system, the UDR network element needs to interface with a BSS (Business Support System, service support system) of the operator, and is configured to receive a tent instruction issued by the BSS network element to perform service opening or changing of the user 5G user. The UDR network element corresponding to the UDM network element may be combined with the UDM network element or may be separately provided with the UDM network element.
It can be understood that in order to reduce the huge cost pressure brought by 5G network construction, protect the investment of existing network stock equipment, reduce the risk of data cutover, when a part of operators deploy 5G networks, the operators can choose to adopt a scheme of mixed networking of HSS and UDR of the same manufacturer in part of provinces or areas. Because the 5G network home UDR network element after the user is migrated and the 4G network home HSS network element before the user is migrated are the same manufacturer equipment, the UDR network element can communicate with the HSS network element through a private interface between the user-defined UDR network element and the HSS network element of the manufacturer.
Further, the step S110 further includes:
and if the query result is that the first slice subscription information exists, acquiring the first slice subscription information from the HSS network element, and returning the first slice subscription information to the AMF network element so that the AMF can establish PDU session corresponding to the user equipment in a 5G network based on PDN connection information established in the 4G network by the user equipment and the slice subscription information.
In this embodiment, if the HSS network element queries the first slice subscription information corresponding to the UE, that is, the UE has completed registration and account opening on the HSS network element, the first slice subscription information is returned to the AMF network element. The AMF network element can establish PDU session corresponding to the UE in the 5G network according to the first slice subscription information and PDN connection established in the 4G network by the UE.
Step S130, sending second slice subscription information corresponding to the 5G network registration account opening template to the AMF network element, so that the AMF network element establishes a PDU session corresponding to the user equipment in a 5G network based on the context information corresponding to the user equipment and the second slice subscription information, wherein the context information comprises PDN connection information established by the user equipment in a 4G network;
in this embodiment, the UDIWF network element directly determines a 5G network registration account opening template in the HSS network element according to the IMSI of the UE, and sends second slice subscription information in the 5G network registration account opening template to the AMF network element. And the AMF network element establishes PDU session corresponding to the UE in the 5G network according to the context information corresponding to the UE (including PDN connection information established in the 4G network by the UE) and the second slice subscription information. Therefore, when the AMF network element waits for the slice subscription information returned by the HSS network element based on the 5G network registration account opening instruction, the HSS network element simultaneously triggers PDN connection deletion caused by the PDN connection deletion instruction based on the 5G network registration account opening instruction, so that after the AMF network element acquires the PDN connection of the UE in the 4G network, the AMF network element sends the 5G network registration account opening instruction to the HSS network element, and simultaneously triggers the PDN connection deletion instruction to delete the PDN connection.
The step S130 specifically includes:
and transmitting slice subscription information corresponding to the 5G network registration account opening template to the AMF network element, so that the AMF network element transmits an acquisition request of the context information to an MME network element, and establishing a PDU session corresponding to the user equipment in the 5G network according to the slice subscription information and the context information transmitted by the MME.
In this embodiment, after the UDIWF network element sends the slice subscription information corresponding to the 5G network registration account opening template to the AMF network element, the AMF network element sends an acquisition request of the context information (including information such as IMSI, EPS security context, network capability of the UE, and EPS bearer context of the UE) to the MME network element, and after receiving the context information of the UE in the 4G network returned by the MME network element, the AMF network element establishes a PDU session corresponding to the UE in the 5G network according to the slice subscription information and the context information sent by the MME. Specifically, the context information of the UE in the 4G network may be converted into context information of the UE in the 5G network, for example, pushing to the 5G security context according to the EPS security context, or authenticating to the UE, etc., and establishing a PDU session corresponding to the UE in the 5G network according to the context information of the UE in the 5G network.
Step S140, after the AMF network element obtains the context information corresponding to the user equipment, a 5G registration account opening instruction corresponding to the user equipment is sent to the HSS network element, so that the HSS network element updates subscription information corresponding to the user equipment, where updating the subscription information includes deleting the PDN connection information established in the 4G network by the user equipment.
In this embodiment, after the AMF network element obtains the context information corresponding to the user equipment, the AMF network element sends a 5G registration account opening instruction corresponding to the user equipment to the HSS network element.
