In this application.
技术领域Technical field
本公开涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种接入网络切片的方法和装置。The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for accessing network slices.
背景技术Background technique
第五代移动通信技术(fifth-generation,5G)网络中网络业务丰富多样,并且不同的网络业务对网络有不同的要求;例如,自动驾驶和远程控制等网络业务要求网络具备超低时延和超高可靠性;增强现实(Augmented Reality,AR)/虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)等网络业务要求网络具备超高带宽;物联网(Internet of Things,IOT)等网络业务要求网络具备支持海量设备接入和超低省电。因此,为了满足不同网络业务的需求,将网络划分为多个网络切片,不同的网络切片用于实现不同的网络业务。The fifth-generation mobile communication technology (fifth-generation, 5G) network has a variety of network services, and different network services have different requirements on the network; for example, network services such as autonomous driving and remote control require ultra-low latency and network Ultra-high reliability; Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) and other network services require ultra-high bandwidth; Internet of Things (IOT) and other network services require the network to support massive devices. Access and ultra low power saving. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of different network services, the network is divided into multiple network slices, and different network slices are used to implement different network services.
用户可以通过用户设备(User Equipment,UE)接入到某网络业务的网络切片中,以便进行网络业务。UE可以从公共控制面(Common Control Plane,Common CP)中获取网络切片选择的辅助信息(NSSAI,network slice selection assistance information)。当用户设备需要接入某网络切片时,该用户设备可以向无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)发送接入请求,接入请求中携带有用户设备想要接入的网络切片的NSSAI,RAN可以将该接入请求发送给具有网络切片选择功能(Slice Selection Function,SSF)的Common CP,Common CP则可以将该接入请求发送给对应的网络切片,以使用户设备可以接入到该网络切片中。The user equipment (User Equipment, UE) can access the network slice of a network service to perform network services. The UE may obtain network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) from a Common Control Plane (Common CP). When the user equipment needs to access a certain network slice, the user equipment may send an access request to the radio access network (RAN), where the access request carries the NSSAI of the network slice that the user equipment wants to access. The RAN may send the access request to a Common CP having a network slice selection function (SSF), and the Common CP may send the access request to the corresponding network slice, so that the user equipment can access the In the network slice.
在实际中,网络切片的管理设备会基于网络管理员的操作指令或预设的调整策略,对网络切片进行调整,这时,某网络切片中的部分或全部UE会同时下线,例如,网络管理员通过切片管理***删除某网络切片,该网络切片中的全部UE会下线,然后重新接入其他网络切片;策略控制中心根据预先配置的策略,自动将已经接入到某个网络切片的部分或全部UE下线,以使这些UE重新接入到其他网络切片。In practice, the network slice management device adjusts the network slice based on the network administrator's operation command or a preset adjustment policy. At this time, some or all UEs in a network slice are simultaneously offline, for example, the network. The administrator deletes a network slice through the slice management system, all UEs in the network slice go offline, and then re-access other network slices; the policy control center automatically connects to a network slice according to a pre-configured policy. Some or all of the UEs go offline to re-access these UEs to other network slices.
在实现本公开的过程中,发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题:In carrying out the process of the present disclosure, the inventors have found that the prior art has at least the following problems:
UE检测到自身下线后,会在预设时长内反复向网络切片发送接入请求,这样,当该网络切片中大量的UE同时下线后,会出现大量的UE反复向该网络切片发送接入请求的情况,导致网络中的请求数量突然增大,网络负担变重,影响正常的业务数据的传输。After detecting that the UE is offline, it will repeatedly send an access request to the network slice within a preset duration. When a large number of UEs in the network slice are offline at the same time, a large number of UEs repeatedly send and receive to the network slice. In the case of the incoming request, the number of requests in the network suddenly increases, the network burden becomes heavier, and the transmission of normal business data is affected.

In order to meet the needs of different network services, the network administrator can divide the network into multiple network slices, and different network slices can be used to implement different network services. The user equipment (User Equipment, UE) can access the network slice corresponding to different network services to perform different network services. The UE may be a wireless terminal, such as a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, an Internet Protocol (IP). ) Telephones, network printers, and e-book readers.

Compared with the current 4G network, the capability of the RAN slice is equivalent to one or more base stations (Evolved Node B, eNB). The capability of the core network slice is equivalent to the Mobility Management Entity (MME) and the Serving Gate (Serving Gate). The control plane of the Way, SGW, the control plane of the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or the Home Subscriber Server (Home Subscriber Server) , HSS), etc.; transport slicing is equivalent to a routing and forwarding device such as a router that connects other devices.

The common CP NFs can be used together by one or more network slices. As shown in FIG. 2, a possible 5G network architecture diagram is provided in this embodiment, where the network slice A and the network slice B jointly use a common CP NFs. . The RAN is connected to the SSF and each network slice. After the UE accesses the RAN, the SSF selects the appropriate network slice to access the data network, and provides customized services through CP NFs and UP NFs and parameter configuration, thereby forming an end-to-end network slicing architecture in the 5G. . When the SSF selects a network slice for the UE, the network slice may be selected for the UE based on the user information of the UE stored in the Subscriber Repository. In practice, the SSFs may be set in the common CP NFs or in the RAN. This embodiment is described by taking the SSF settings in the public CP NFs as an example, and other situations are similar.

为了避免用户设备在检测到自身下线后,反复向网络切片发送接入请求,导致网络负担突然变重的情况,本实施例提供了一种接入网络切片的方法,可以在对网络切片进行调整时,控制用户设备有序的接入其他网络切片,实现在迁移用户设备时降低网络负担,避免影响正常的业务数据的传输。该方法可以由网络切片、管理设备和用户设备共同实现,本实施例中的第一网络切片为需要用户设备重新接入的网络切片,第二网络切片为用户设备当前接入的网络切片。如图6所示,该方法的处理流程可以如下:In order to prevent the user equipment from repeatedly sending an access request to the network slice after detecting that the user equipment is offline, the network load is suddenly increased. The embodiment provides a method for accessing the network slice, which can be performed on the network slice. During the adjustment, the user equipment is controlled to access other network slices in an orderly manner, so that the network load is reduced when the user equipment is migrated, and the normal service data transmission is not affected. The method may be implemented by the network slice, the management device, and the user equipment. In this embodiment, the first network slice is a network slice that needs to be re-accessed by the user equipment, and the second network slice is a network slice currently accessed by the user equipment. As shown in FIG. 6, the processing flow of the method can be as follows:
步骤601,管理设备接收用户迁移指令。Step 601: The management device receives a user migration instruction.
其中,用户迁移指令中可以携带有需要进行用户设备的迁移处理的第二网络切片的标识,以及用户设备需要重新接入的第一网络切片的标识。The user migration command may carry the identifier of the second network slice that needs to perform the migration process of the user equipment, and the identifier of the first network slice that the user equipment needs to re-access.
在实施中,管理设备接收的用户迁移指令可以是基于网络管理员的操作生成的,也可以是基于预设的网络切片管理策略生成的。例如,管理设备可以是切片管理***,网络管理员可以在切片管理***中进行用户设备迁移操作,选择需要进行用户设备的迁移处理的网络切片(即第二网络切片),以及用户需要重新接入的第一网络切片,然后选择迁移选项,管理设备则可以接收到该用户迁移指令;或者,管理设备可以是策略控制中心,策略控制中心可以根据预先配置的策略,确定需要进行调整的第二网络切片,以及需要用户设备重新接入的第 一网络切片,进而生成用户迁移指令;或者,管理设备还可以是智能分析中心,智能分析中心可以根据网络实时负荷,确定第一网络切片和第二网络切片,从而生成用户迁移指令。In an implementation, the user migration instruction received by the management device may be generated based on a network administrator's operation, or may be generated based on a preset network slice management policy. For example, the management device may be a slice management system, and the network administrator may perform a user device migration operation in the slice management system, select a network slice (ie, a second network slice) that needs to perform a migration process of the user device, and the user needs to re-access. The first network slice, and then select the migration option, the management device can receive the user migration instruction; or the management device can be a policy control center, and the policy control center can determine the second network that needs to be adjusted according to the pre-configured policy. The slice, and the first network slice that needs to be re-accessed by the user equipment, to generate a user migration instruction; or the management device may also be an intelligent analysis center, and the intelligent analysis center may determine the first network slice and the second network according to the real-time load of the network. Slice to generate user migration instructions.
步骤602,管理设备向第二网络切片发送用户迁移通知。Step 602: The management device sends a user migration notification to the second network slice.
在实施中,管理设备可以根据用户迁移指令,向第二网络切片发送用户迁移通知,发送用户迁移通知的方式可以是多种多样的,本实施例提供了两种可行的处理方式。In an implementation, the management device may send a user migration notification to the second network slice according to the user migration instruction, and the manner of sending the user migration notification may be various. This embodiment provides two feasible processing manners.
方式一、向第二网络切片发送携带有第一网络切片的标识的用户迁移通知。Manner 1: Send a user migration notification carrying the identifier of the first network slice to the second network slice.
在实施中,管理设备可以获取用户迁移指令中的第一网络切片的标识,然后根据第一网络切片的标识,生成用户迁移通知,将该用户迁移通知发送给第二网络切片,以使第二网络切片将本地接入的用户设备迁移到第一网络切片中。另外,对于将第二网络切片中的部分用户设备迁移到第一网络切片的情况,管理设备还可以根据网络管理员的操作,或者预设的网络切片管理策略,确定需要进行迁移的用户设备,该用户迁移通知中还可以携带有需要进行迁移的用户设备的标识和/或用户设备的数量,该数量可以是迁移数目,也可以是百分比。In an implementation, the management device may obtain the identifier of the first network slice in the user migration instruction, and then generate a user migration notification according to the identifier of the first network slice, and send the user migration notification to the second network slice, so that the second The network slice migrates the locally accessed user equipment into the first network slice. In addition, for the case of migrating a part of the user equipment in the second network slice to the first network slice, the management device may further determine the user equipment that needs to be migrated according to the operation of the network administrator or the preset network slice management policy. The user migration notification may also carry the identifier of the user equipment and/or the number of user equipments that need to be migrated, and the number may be the number of migrations or a percentage.
方式二、根据预先存储的网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系,确定第一网络切片的标识对应的NSSAI;向第二网络切片发送携带有第一网络切片的NSSAI的用户迁移通知。Manner 2: Determine, according to the correspondence between the identifier of the network slice and the NSSAI, the NSSAI corresponding to the identifier of the first network slice, and send the user migration notification of the NSSAI carrying the first network slice to the second network slice.
在实施中,管理设备中还可以预先存储网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系,其中,不同的网络切片对应的NSSAI是不同的。该对应关系可以如表一所示:In an implementation, the mapping between the identifier of the network slice and the NSSAI may be pre-stored in the management device, where the NSSAI corresponding to the different network slices is different. The correspondence can be as shown in Table 1:
表一Table I
NSSAINSSAI 网络切片Network slice
11111111 AA
22222222 BB
33333333 CC
其中,A、B、C分别为网络切片的标识。Among them, A, B, and C are the identifiers of the network slices.
管理设备获取到第一网络切片的标识后,可以在该对应关系中,查找第一网络切片的标识对应的NSSAI,然后可以根据第一网络切片的标识对应的NSSAI,生成用户迁移通知,将该用户迁移通知发送给第二网络切片,以使第二网络切片将本地接入的用户设备迁移到第一网络切片中。另外,对于将第二网络切片中的部分用户设备迁移到第一网络切片的情况,管理设备还可以根据网络管理员的操作,或者预设的网络切片管理策略,确定需要进行迁移的用户设备,该用户迁移通知中还可以携带有需要进行迁移的用户设备的标识和/或用户设备的数量,该数量可以是迁移数目,也可以是百分比。After obtaining the identifier of the first network slice, the management device may search for the NSSAI corresponding to the identifier of the first network slice in the corresponding relationship, and then generate a user migration notification according to the NSSAI corresponding to the identifier of the first network slice, and The user migration notification is sent to the second network slice, so that the second network slice migrates the locally accessed user equipment into the first network slice. In addition, for the case of migrating a part of the user equipment in the second network slice to the first network slice, the management device may further determine the user equipment that needs to be migrated according to the operation of the network administrator or the preset network slice management policy. The user migration notification may also carry the identifier of the user equipment and/or the number of user equipments that need to be migrated, and the number may be the number of migrations or a percentage.
步骤603,第二网络切片接收管理设备发送的用户迁移通知。Step 603: The second network slice receives a user migration notification sent by the management device.
步骤604,第二网络切片获取第一网络切片对应的网络切片选择的辅助信息NSSAI。Step 604: The second network slice acquires the auxiliary information NSSAI selected by the network slice corresponding to the first network slice.
其中,第一网络切片是进行迁移的用户设备需要重新接入的网络切片.The first network slice is a network slice that the user equipment that needs to be re-accessed needs to be re-accessed.
在实施中,第二网络切片可以根据接收到的用户迁移通知,获取第一网络切片对应的NSSAI。该步骤可以有以下两种处理方式:In an implementation, the second network slice may acquire the NSSAI corresponding to the first network slice according to the received user migration notification. This step can be handled in two ways:
方式一、获取用户迁移通知中携带的第一网络切片对应的NSSAI。The first method is to obtain the NSSAI corresponding to the first network slice carried in the user migration notification.
在实施中,对于上述用户迁移通知中携带有第一网络切片的NSSAI的情况,第二网络切片可以对该用户迁移通知进行解析,获取第一网络切片的NSSAI。该NSSAI可以预先存储的第一网络切片的NSSAI,也可以是网络管理员新增加的第一网络切片的NSSAI。如果第二网络 切片检测到本地存储的网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系中,不存在该NSSAI,则可以将第一网络切片的标识和该NSSAI添加到该对应关系中。例如,本地存储的网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系如上表一所示,第二网络切片接收到网络切片B对应的NSSAI 4444后,可以将B和4444添加到该对应关系表中,如图表二所示:In an implementation, for the case that the user migration notification carries the NSSAI of the first network slice, the second network slice may parse the user migration notification to obtain the NSSAI of the first network slice. The NSSAI may pre-store the NSSAI of the first network slice, or may be the NSSAI of the first network slice newly added by the network administrator. If the second network slice detects that the NSSAI does not exist in the correspondence between the identifier of the locally stored network slice and the NSSAI, the identifier of the first network slice and the NSSAI may be added to the corresponding relationship. For example, the mapping between the identifier of the locally stored network slice and the NSSAI is as shown in Table 1. After the second network slice receives the NSSAI 4444 corresponding to the network slice B, B and 4444 may be added to the corresponding relationship table, such as a chart. Second:
表二Table II

11111111 AA
22222222 BB
33333333 CC
44444444 BB
或者,该NSSAI也可以为第二网络切片的NSSAI,则第二网络切片可以将表一中,该NSSAI对应的网络切片的标识,修改为第一网络切片的标识。例如,网络切片A接收到的用户迁移通知中,携带的第一网络切片B,以及NSSAI 1111,则可以将1111对应的网络切片的标识修改为B,如表三所示:Alternatively, the NSSAI may also be the NSSAI of the second network slice, and the second network slice may modify the identifier of the network slice corresponding to the NSSAI in Table 1 to the identifier of the first network slice. For example, in the user migration notification received by the network slice A, the first network slice B carried, and the NSSAI 1111, the identifier of the network slice corresponding to 1111 can be modified to B, as shown in Table 3:
表三Table 3
NSSAINSSAI 网络切片Network slice
11111111 BB
22222222 BB
33333333 CC
方式二、获取用户迁移通知中携带的第一网络切片的标识,根据预先存储的网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系,确定第一网络切片的标识对应的NSSAI。Manner 2: The identifier of the first network slice carried in the user migration notification is obtained, and the NSSAI corresponding to the identifier of the first network slice is determined according to the correspondence between the identifier of the network slice and the NSSAI.
在实施中,对于用户迁移通知中携带有第一网络切片的标识的情况,第二网络切片中可以预先存储网络切片的标识和NSSAI的对应关系,该对应关系可以参照上述表一。第二网络切片可以对用户迁移通知进行解析,获取第一网络切片的标识,然后在该对应关系中,查找第一网络切片的标识对应的NSSAI。In the implementation, for the case that the identifier of the first network slice is carried in the user migration notification, the correspondence between the identifier of the network slice and the NSSAI may be pre-stored in the second network slice, and the correspondence may refer to Table 1 above. The second network slice may parse the user migration notification, obtain the identifier of the first network slice, and then, in the correspondence, search for the NSSAI corresponding to the identifier of the first network slice.
在实际中,如果第二网络切片需要被删除,则管理设备可以向第二网络切片发送携带有第一网络切片的标识的用户迁移通知,或者,可以向第二网络切片发送携带有第一网络切片的NSSAI的用户迁移通知,以使第二网络切片将本地的全部用户设备迁移到第一网络切片中。如果只是将第二网络切中的部分用户迁移到第一网络切片中,第二网络切片还需要继续使用,可以向第二网络切片发送携带有第一网络切片对应的新增的NSSAI。In practice, if the second network slice needs to be deleted, the management device may send a user migration notification carrying the identifier of the first network slice to the second network slice, or may send the first network to the second network slice. The user migration notification of the sliced NSSAI is such that the second network slice migrates all local user equipments into the first network slice. If only a part of the user in the second network is migrated to the first network slice, the second network slice needs to continue to be used, and the new NSSAI carrying the first network slice may be sent to the second network slice.
本步骤的处理可以由网络切片中的SSF来实现。The processing of this step can be implemented by the SSF in the network slice.
步骤605,第二网络切片向用户设备发送第一网络切片对应的NSSAI,第一网络切片对应的NSSAI用于指示用户设备接入第一网络切片。Step 605: The second network slice sends the NSSAI corresponding to the first network slice to the user equipment, and the NSSAI corresponding to the first network slice is used to indicate that the user equipment accesses the first network slice.
在实施中,第二网络切片向需要进行迁移的用户设备发送第一网络切片的NSSAI时,可以先确定该用户设备的状态信息。例如,该用户设备可以是正在请求接入第二网络切片的用户设备;可以是状态信息为空闲状态的用户设备;可以是状态信息为连接状态,且与第二网络切片正在进行数据传输的用户设备;状态信息为连接状态,且与第二网络切片未进行数据传输的用户设备。第二网络切片确定用户设备的状态信息后,可以采用该状态信息对应的发送方式,向用户设备第一网络切片的NSSAI。对于不同状态的用户设备,第二网络切片的发 送方式可以是不同的,具体的处理过程会在图7ˉ图10的步骤中进行详细说明。In an implementation, when the second network slice sends the NSSAI of the first network slice to the user equipment that needs to be migrated, the status information of the user equipment may be determined first. For example, the user equipment may be a user equipment that is requesting access to the second network slice; may be a user equipment whose status information is in an idle state; may be a user whose status information is a connected status, and the data is being transmitted with the second network slice. Device; the status information is a connection status, and the user equipment that does not perform data transmission with the second network slice. After determining the status information of the user equipment, the second network slice may use the sending manner corresponding to the status information to the NSSAI of the first network slice of the user equipment. For the user equipment of different states, the sending manner of the second network slice may be different, and the specific processing procedure will be described in detail in the steps of FIG. 7 and FIG.

Then, the user subscription information and the security context information of the user equipment are obtained according to the identifier of the user equipment, and then a context response (ie, a Context Response) message is sent to the first network slice, where the Context Response message can carry the user equipment. User subscription information and security context information. After receiving the Context Response message, the first network slice may perform access processing on the user equipment based on the Context Response message and the preset access policy, so that the user equipment accesses the first network slice.
步骤608,第二网络切片向管理设备发送迁移完毕通知。Step 608: The second network slice sends a migration completion notification to the management device.
在实施中,第二网络切片接收到用户迁移通知后,可以开始计时,并向需要进行迁移的用户设备发送第一网络切片对应的NSSAI,当第二网络切片向需要进行迁移的全部用户设备发送完毕第一网络切片对应的NSSAI时,或者,当达到预设迁移时长时,第二网络切片可以向管理设备发送迁移完毕通知,以使管理设备进行后续处理。In an implementation, after receiving the user migration notification, the second network slice may start timing, and send the NSSAI corresponding to the first network slice to the user equipment that needs to be migrated, and send the second network slice to all user equipments that need to be migrated.
