Through flexible allocation of network resources and on-demand networking, 5G operates on the same set of physical Multiple logical subnets with different characteristics and mutual isolation are virtualized on the facility to provide targeted services to users.
通常,在一些场景中,当终端设备确定出当前业务对应的目标网络切片组标识后,可以从基站广播的基于网络切片组(例如称为slice group)标识的参数信息中获取到基于目标网络切片组标识的参数信息,然后基于目标网络切片组标识的参数信息执行一些操作。其中,网络切片组标识指示了一组网络切片(称为网络切片组),该组中每个网络切片具有自己的网络切片标识且还具有相同的网络切片组标识。示例性地,基站发送基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息或基于网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息,以使得终端设备可以基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息执行小区重选流程、或基于网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息执行随机接入流程。Generally, in some scenarios, after the terminal device determines the target network slice group identifier corresponding to the current service, it can obtain the target network slice based on the parameter information based on the network slice group (for example, called slice group) identifier broadcast by the base station. parameter information of the group ID, and then perform some operations based on the parameter information of the target network slice group ID.

为便于理解,下面对本申请实施例所涉及的术语进行简单介绍。To facilitate understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of this application are briefly introduced below.
1.网络切片(network slice)1. Network slice
5G时代有数以千亿的物联网设备接入网络,不同类型的应用场景对网络的需求是差异化的,有的甚至是相互冲突的。通过单一网络同时为不同类型的应用场景提供服务,可能会导致网络架构异常复杂,网络管理效率和资源利用率低下。In the 5G era, hundreds of billions of IoT devices are connected to the network. Different types of application scenarios have different demands on the network, and some even conflict with each other. Providing services for different types of application scenarios through a single network at the same time may lead to extremely complex network architecture and low network management efficiency and resource utilization.
5G网络切片技术通过在同一网络基础设施上虚拟独立逻辑网络的方式为不同的应用场景提供相互隔离的网络环境,使得不同应用场景可以按照各自的需求定制网络 功能和特性,能够切实保障不同业务的QoS需求。5G network slicing technology provides mutually isolated network environments for different application scenarios by virtualizing independent logical networks on the same network infrastructure, allowing different application scenarios to customize the network according to their own needs. Functions and features can effectively guarantee the QoS requirements of different services.
5G网络切片要实现的目标是将终端设备、接入网资源、核心网资源以及网络运维和管理***等进行有机组合,为不同商业场景或者业务类型提供能够独立运维的、相互隔离的完整网络。多种多样的场景对第三代移动通信项目(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)生态***提出了不同的需要,例如,计费、策略、安全、移动性等。3GPP强调了网络切片之间不相互影响,例如突发的大量的抄表业务不应该影响正常的移动宽带业务。为了满足多样性需求和切片间的隔离,需要业务间相对独立的管理和运维,并提供量身定做的业务功能和分析能力。不同类型业务的实例部署在不同的网络切片上,相同业务类型的不同实例也可部署在不同的网络切片上。The goal of 5G network slicing is to organically combine terminal equipment, access network resources, core network resources, and network operation and management systems to provide different business scenarios or business types with a complete and mutually isolated network that can be independently operated and maintained. network. A variety of scenarios have put forward different needs for the third generation mobile communication project (3rd generation partnership project, 3GPP) ecosystem, such as billing, policy, security, mobility, etc. 3GPP emphasizes that network slices should not affect each other. For example, a sudden large number of meter reading services should not affect normal mobile broadband services. In order to meet the diverse needs and isolation between slices, relatively independent management and operation and maintenance between businesses are required, and tailor-made business functions and analysis capabilities are provided. Instances of different types of services are deployed on different network slices, and different instances of the same service type can also be deployed on different network slices.
当核心网部署了网络切片,如果用户初始附着到网络时,会触发网络切片的选择过程。网络切片的选择过程需要考虑的参数包括:用户的签约数据、本地配置信息、漫游协议、运营商的策略等,综合考虑上述参数可以为终端设备选择合适的切片类型。When the core network deploys network slicing, the network slice selection process will be triggered when a user initially attaches to the network. Parameters that need to be considered in the network slicing selection process include: user subscription data, local configuration information, roaming agreements, operator policies, etc. Taking the above parameters into consideration, the appropriate slicing type can be selected for the terminal device.
本申请实施例中可以将网络切片简称为切片。In the embodiment of this application, network slicing may be referred to as slice for short.
2.网络切片的标识2. Identification of network slices
单个网络切片选择辅助信息(single network slice selection assistance information,S-NSSAI)用于标识单个网络切片。S-NSSAI包括切片类型/业务类型(slice/service type,SST)和切片差异化标识(slice differentiator,SD),其中,SST用于描述网络切片的特性和业务方面的特征;SD用于区分具有相同SST特征的不同网络切片。Single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) is used to identify a single network slice. S-NSSAI includes slice type/service type (SST) and slice differentiation identifier (slice differentiator, SD). Among them, SST is used to describe the characteristics and service characteristics of network slices; SD is used to distinguish the characteristics of network slices. Different network slices of the same SST features.
网络切片选择辅助信息(network slice selection assistance information,NSSAI)是一组S-NSSAI的集合,用于标识一个或多个网络切片。Network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) is a set of S-NSSAI used to identify one or more network slices.
3.网络切片组的标识3. Identification of the network slicing group
接入网设备可以通过广播或者专用信令使得终端设备感知到针对切片的相关参数信息,例如针对切片的小区重选优先级参数信息或者针对切片的随机接入参数信息。但考虑到基于切片粒度的广播会带来比较大的信令开销并存在安全隐患的问题,因此当前在广播或者使用专用信令来使得终端设备感知针对切片的相关参数信息时,使用网络切片组(slice group)的概念,即将一个或多个切片按照一定的规则进行分组,对于不同的分组(即形成了一个网络切片组),使用不同的标识(即网络切片组的标识,也称为slice group ID)来进行区分。The access network device can enable the terminal device to perceive relevant parameter information for the slice through broadcast or dedicated signaling, such as cell reselection priority parameter information for the slice or random access parameter information for the slice. However, considering that broadcasting based on slice granularity will bring relatively large signaling overhead and pose security risks, currently when broadcasting or using dedicated signaling to make terminal devices perceive relevant parameter information for slices, network slice groups are used. The concept of (slice group) is to group one or more slices according to certain rules. For different groups (that is, forming a network slice group), use different identifiers (that is, the identifier of the network slice group, also called slice group ID) to distinguish.
具体地,一个或多个S-NSSAI经映射可得到特定的slice group ID,在特定区域内相同的slice group ID支持相同的S-NSSAI。Specifically, one or more S-NSSAI can be mapped to a specific slice group ID, and the same slice group ID supports the same S-NSSAI in a specific area.
在此说明的是,本申请中所涉及的网络切片组(slice group)也可以被称为其他名称,例如是网络切片接入层组(network slice AS group,NSAG)。同理,当网络切片组被称为是NSAG时,slice group ID就变为NSAG ID。It should be noted here that the network slice group (slice group) involved in this application can also be called other names, such as network slice access layer group (network slice AS group, NSAG). In the same way, when the network slice group is called NSAG, the slice group ID becomes NSAG ID.
应理解,在未来的标准中,该名称仍有可能发生变化,但只要所起的功能与本申请相同,也应归属于本申请的构思。It should be understood that this name may still change in future standards, but as long as it serves the same function as this application, it should also be attributed to the concept of this application.
还在此说明的是,本申请中,为便于描述,以网络切片组(slice group)为例说明本申请提供的通信方法。It should also be noted that in this application, for convenience of description, a network slice group (slice group) is used as an example to illustrate the communication method provided by this application.
4.多运营商核心网模式4. Multi-operator core network model
运营商独立建网时,面临高昂的频谱牌照和网络部署成本、以及短期内完成较高 网络覆盖的要求和站点部署的挑战,为此引入了网络共享的概念。其中,网络共享是指多家运营商(或第三方)对网络基础设施、网络设备及频谱资源的任何程度的合作或共享。网络基础设施包括站址、机房设施、铁塔、电源设备等站点基础设施;网络设备包括基站、传输、核心网等电信网络设备。When operators build networks independently, they face high spectrum license and network deployment costs, as well as high costs to complete in a short period of time. Network coverage requirements and site deployment challenges have led to the introduction of the concept of network sharing. Among them, network sharing refers to any degree of cooperation or sharing of network infrastructure, network equipment and spectrum resources by multiple operators (or third parties). Network infrastructure includes site infrastructure such as site, computer room facilities, towers, and power supply equipment; network equipment includes telecommunications network equipment such as base stations, transmission, and core networks.
多运营商核心网(multiple operation core network,MOCN)模式,也称为共载频共享模式,是当前的一种网络共享方式。当多个运营商应用MOCN模式时,多个运营商共享站点的基础设施和网络设备,并且也共享小区,该共享小区同时归属于多个运营商。The multiple operation core network (MOCN) mode, also known as the co-carrier frequency sharing mode, is a current network sharing method. When multiple operators apply the MOCN mode, multiple operators share site infrastructure and network equipment, and also share cells, and the shared cells belong to multiple operators at the same time.

应注意,本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚地说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。It should be noted that the network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are for the purpose of more clearly explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application. Those of ordinary skill in the art will know that With the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
随着移动通信技术的发展,各类新业务以及应用场景不断涌现,示例性地,这些业务例如包括增强的移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband,eMBB)业务、海量机器类型通信(massive machine type communication,MMTC)业务、超可靠低延迟通信(ultra-reliable and low latency communications,URLLC)业务。这些业务对网络功能、连接性能以及安全性等方面的需求存在很大的差别。如果利用单一网络去承载这些业务,将很难同时满足高带宽、低时延、高可靠性等需求。另外,为每种业务去单独新建网络又会带来巨大的成本。这就要求5G在具备灵活、可拓展性的同时,能够满足不同的业务需求。With the development of mobile communication technology, various new services and application scenarios continue to emerge. For example, these services include enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services, massive machine type communication (MMTC) ) business, ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) business. These businesses have very different requirements for network functions, connection performance, and security. If a single network is used to carry these services, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability at the same time. In addition, building a separate network for each service will bring huge costs. This requires 5G to be flexible and scalable while also being able to meet different business needs.
为此,对于图1所示的通信***,可以通过端到端的网络切片(network slice)为用户提供定制化的网络服务,通过对网络资源的灵活分配、按需组网,在同一套物理 设施上虚拟出多个具有不同特点且相互隔离的逻辑子网,来针对性地为用户提供服务。目前,对于图1所示的通信***,为了区分不同的网络切片,对每个网络切片使用单个网络切片选择辅助信息(single network slice selection assistance information,S-NSSAI)来进行标识。本申请中,将网络切片也简称为切片。To this end, for the communication system shown in Figure 1, customized network services can be provided for users through end-to-end network slices. Through flexible allocation of network resources and on-demand networking, the same set of physical Multiple logical subnets with different characteristics and mutual isolation are virtualized on the facility to provide targeted services to users. Currently, for the communication system shown in Figure 1, in order to distinguish different network slices, each network slice is identified using a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI). In this application, network slicing is also referred to as slice.
通常,当引入上述所述的网络切片后,在一些场景中,图1中的接入网设备102需要以某个PLMN中的网络切片组(slice group)标识作为参考来广播或使用专用信令使得终端设备感知到基于slice group标识的参数信息,或者也称为使用某个PLMN中的网络切片组(slice group)标识来广播或使用专用信令使得终端设备感知到基于slice group标识的参数信息。而对于终端设备,在确定出当前业务对应的网络切片标识后,可以基于网络切片标识与网络切片组标识之间的映射关系,确定出当前业务对应的目标网络切片组标识,以从广播信息或专用信息中获取到基于目标网络切片组标识的参数信息,并基于目标网络切片组标识的参数信息执行一些操作。其中,网络切片组标识指示了一组网络切片(称为网络切片组),该组中每个网络切片具有自己的网络切片标识且还具有相同的网络切片组标识。Generally, when the above-mentioned network slicing is introduced, in some scenarios, the access network device 102 in Figure 1 needs to use the network slice group (slice group) identifier in a certain PLMN as a reference to broadcast or use dedicated signaling. Make the terminal device perceive the parameter information based on the slice group identifier, or it is also called using the network slice group (slice group) identifier in a certain PLMN to broadcast or use dedicated signaling to make the terminal device perceive the parameter information based on the slice group identifier. . For the terminal device, after determining the network slice identifier corresponding to the current service, the target network slice group identifier corresponding to the current service can be determined based on the mapping relationship between the network slice identifier and the network slice group identifier, so as to obtain the broadcast information or The parameter information based on the target network slicing group identifier is obtained from the dedicated information, and some operations are performed based on the parameter information based on the target network slicing group identifier. Wherein, the network slice group identifier indicates a group of network slices (called a network slice group), and each network slice in the group has its own network slice identifier and also has the same network slice group identifier.
示例性地,在引入切片技术后的小区重选场景中,当终端设备从连接态转移到空闲态、非激活态或终端设备选择了PLMN初始驻留到某个小区后,需要执行小区重选流程,以获得质量更好的小区进行驻留。For example, in the cell reselection scenario after the introduction of slicing technology, when the terminal equipment transfers from the connected state to the idle state, inactive state or the terminal equipment selects a PLMN to initially camp in a certain cell, cell reselection needs to be performed. process to obtain better quality communities for residence.
而终端设备在执行小区重选流程时,需要使用到基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息。因此,在这种场景中,基站会基于参考的PLMN中的网络切片组标识,来广播或使用专用信令使得终端设备感知到基于不同网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息。而当终端设备由于移动性需要发起小区重选流程时,终端设备会先确定可能发起的业务对应的网络切片标识,然后基于网络切片标识与网络切片组标识之间的映射关系,确定出可能发起的业务对应的目标网络切片组标识,然后从广播信息或专用信息中获取与目标网络切片组标识相关的小区重选优先级参数信息,其中,与目标网络切片组标识相关的小区重选优先级参数信息指示了支持目标网络切片组标识的频点优先级,最后,终端设备便可以基于该与目标网络切片组标识相关的小区重选优先级参数信息,从服务小区和邻区中确定出最佳小区进行驻留。When the terminal device performs the cell reselection process, it needs to use the cell reselection priority parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier. Therefore, in this scenario, the base station will broadcast or use dedicated signaling based on the network slice group identifier in the reference PLMN so that the terminal device can perceive cell reselection priority parameter information based on different network slice group identifiers. When the terminal device needs to initiate a cell reselection process due to mobility, the terminal device will first determine the network slice identifier corresponding to the service that may be initiated, and then determine the possible initiated service based on the mapping relationship between the network slice identifier and the network slice group identifier. The target network slicing group ID corresponding to the service, and then obtain the cell reselection priority parameter information related to the target network slicing group ID from the broadcast information or dedicated information, where the cell reselection priority related to the target network slicing group ID The parameter information indicates the frequency priority that supports the target network slicing group identity. Finally, the terminal device can determine the best cell reselection priority from the serving cell and neighboring cells based on the cell reselection priority parameter information related to the target network slicing group identity. Stay in a good community.
示例性地,在引入切片技术后的随机接入场景中,终端设备在进行接入时,需要使用到基于不同网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息。例如,需要使用基于网络切片组标识的随机接入信道分区(也称为RACH Partition)和基于网络切片组标识的随机接入优先级参数也称为RA-Prioritization)。For example, in a random access scenario after slicing technology is introduced, when a terminal device performs access, it needs to use random access parameter information based on different network slicing group identifiers. For example, you need to use random access channel partitioning (also called RACH Partition) based on the network slicing group identity and random access priority parameters based on the network slicing group identity (also called RA-Prioritization).
具体地,在在引入切片技术后的随机接入场景中,基站会基于参考的PLMN中的网络切片组标识,来广播或使用专用信令使得终端设备感知到基于不同网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息。而当终端设备需要发起某个切片业务的随机接入时,终端设备会先确定当前的业务对应的网络切片标识,然后基于网络切片标识与网络切片组标识之间的映射关系,确定出当前业务对应的目标网络切片组标识,并从广播信息或专用信息中获取与目标网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息,最后,终端设备便可以基于该目标网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息执行随机接入的流程。Specifically, in the random access scenario after the introduction of slicing technology, the base station will broadcast or use dedicated signaling based on the network slice group identifier in the reference PLMN to make the terminal device perceive random access based on different network slice group identifiers. Enter parameter information. When the terminal device needs to initiate random access to a certain slice service, the terminal device will first determine the network slice identifier corresponding to the current service, and then determine the current service based on the mapping relationship between the network slice identifier and the network slice group identifier. The corresponding target network slicing group ID is obtained, and the random access parameter information corresponding to the target network slicing group ID is obtained from the broadcast information or dedicated information. Finally, the terminal device can perform execution based on the random access parameter information of the target network slicing group ID. Random access process.
但是,应理解,上述接入网设备102广播或使用专用信令来使终端设备感知基于不同 网络切片组标识的参数信息时,均是以一个PLMN中的网络切片组标识作为参考的。However, it should be understood that the above-mentioned access network device 102 broadcasts or uses dedicated signaling to cause the terminal device to perceive different When providing the parameter information of the network slice group identifier, the network slice group identifier in a PLMN is used as a reference.
在这种情况下,若通信***使用的是多运营商核心网(multiple operation core network,MOCN)模式,即上述接入网设备102覆盖的某些小区(例如图1中的小区1、小区2、小区3和小区4)可以被多个运营商网络共同使用时,那么由于各个运营商网络对应的PLMN中的网络切片标识以及网络切片组标识可能是不一样的,而接入网设备102又只能以某一个PLMN中的网络切片组标识作为参考来进行广播,因此,对于选择其他PLMN的终端设备,在确定出业务对应的目标网络切片组标识后,就可能会导致从广播消息或专用信令中获取到的目标参数信息是错误的信息。进一步地,导致选择其他PLMN的终端设备在基于目标参数信息执行相应的流程时失败。In this case, if the communication system uses a multi-operator core network (multiple operation core network, MOCN) mode, that is, certain cells covered by the above-mentioned access network equipment 102 (such as cell 1 and cell 2 in Figure 1 , cell 3 and cell 4) can be used by multiple operator networks, then the network slice identifier and network slice group identifier in the PLMN corresponding to each operator network may be different, and the access network device 102 Broadcasting can only be carried out using the network slicing group identifier in a certain PLMN as a reference. Therefore, for terminal equipment that selects other PLMNs, after determining the target network slicing group identifier corresponding to the service, it may result in broadcast messages or dedicated The target parameter information obtained in signaling is incorrect information. Further, this causes the terminal device that selects other PLMNs to fail when executing the corresponding process based on the target parameter information.
为方便理解,现以两个运营商网络共享上述接入网设备102下的小区为例进行说明。例如,现在网络中包括4个网络切片,假设称为第一个网络切片、第二个网络切片、第三个网络切片和第四个网络切片。For ease of understanding, the description will now be given by taking two operator networks sharing a cell under the access network device 102 as an example. For example, the network now includes 4 network slices, which are assumed to be called the first network slice, the second network slice, the third network slice, and the fourth network slice.
对于第一个运营商配置的第一PLMN中的切片信息如下:slice group1={slice1和slice2};slice group2={slice3和slic4},slice group1和slice group2分别为两个网络切片组标识;而对于第二个运营商配置的第二PLMN中的切片信息如下:slice group1={slice3和slice4};slice group2={slice1和slic2},slice group1和slice group2分别为两个网络切片组标识。其中,slice1为第一个网络切片的标识、slice2为第二个网络切片的标识、slice3为第三个网络切片的标识、slice4为第四个网络切片的标识。The slice information in the first PLMN configured by the first operator is as follows: slice group1={slice1 and slice2}; slice group2={slice3 and slic4}, slice group1 and slice group2 are two network slice group identifiers respectively; and The slice information in the second PLMN configured by the second operator is as follows: slice group1={slice3 and slice4}; slice group2={slice1 and slic2}, slice group1 and slice group2 are two network slice group identifiers respectively. Among them, slice1 is the identifier of the first network slice, slice2 is the identifier of the second network slice, slice3 is the identifier of the third network slice, and slice4 is the identifier of the fourth network slice.
这个时候,对于选择第二PLMN的终端设备,假设该终端设备支持且可能发起或者想要发起第三个网络切片的业务时,那么该终端设备会先确定出网络切片标识为slice3,然后再确定出对应的网络切片组标识是slice group1。然后从广播的信息中去获取与slice group1相关的参数信息。但是,应理解,若当前广播是以第一PLMN作为参考,而第一PLMN中的slice group1中是不关联slice3的,因此,导致选择第二PLMN的终端设备基于slice group1获取的相关的参数信息实际上是错误的信息,从而无法执行相应的流程。At this time, for the terminal device that selects the second PLMN, assuming that the terminal device supports and may initiate or wants to initiate the third network slice service, the terminal device will first determine the network slice identifier as slice3, and then determine The corresponding network slice group identifier is slice group1. Then obtain the parameter information related to slice group1 from the broadcast information. However, it should be understood that if the current broadcast is based on the first PLMN as a reference, and slice group1 in the first PLMN is not associated with slice3, therefore, the terminal device that selects the second PLMN is based on the relevant parameter information obtained by slice group1. It is actually wrong information, making it impossible to perform the corresponding process.
鉴于此,本申请实施例提出一种通信方法和通信装置。可以在MOCN模式下,实现选择第一PLMN的终端设备从广播的第二PLMN中的基于网络切片组标识的参数信息中获取到正确的参数信息,以可以执行相应的流程。In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and a communication device. In the MOCN mode, the terminal device that selects the first PLMN can obtain correct parameter information from the broadcast parameter information based on the network slice group identifier in the second PLMN, so that the corresponding process can be executed.
图2为本申请一个实施例提供的通信方法的流程性示意图。如图2所示,该方法可以包括:S212、S214、S216、S218和S220。Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the method may include: S212, S214, S216, S218 and S220.
S212,终端设备发送第一标识信息,所述第一标识信息指示终端设备选择的第一PLMN;相应的,接入网设备接收第一标识信息。S212: The terminal device sends first identification information, where the first identification information indicates the first PLMN selected by the terminal device; accordingly, the access network device receives the first identification information.
本实施例中,终端设备是指需要从接入网设备获取基于网络切片组标识的参数信息的终端设备。In this embodiment, the terminal device refers to a terminal device that needs to obtain parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier from the access network device.
例如,终端设备包括需要获取接入网设备广播的基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息的终端设备。又例如,终端设备包括需要获取接入网设备广播的基于网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息的终端设备。For example, the terminal device includes a terminal device that needs to obtain cell reselection priority parameter information based on the network slice group identifier broadcast by the access network device. For another example, the terminal device includes a terminal device that needs to obtain random access parameter information based on the network slice group identifier broadcast by the access network device.
可以理解的是,通信***中的每个终端设备都需要选择一个PLMN来实现与其他设备的通信。本实施例中,将终端设备选择的PLMN称为第一PLMN。It can be understood that each terminal device in the communication system needs to select a PLMN to implement communication with other devices. In this embodiment, the PLMN selected by the terminal device is called the first PLMN.
本实施例中,为了区分不同的PLMN,对不同的PLMN使用不同的标识信息来进行标 识。其中,在本申请中,将第一PLMN的标识称为第一标识信息。In this embodiment, in order to distinguish different PLMNs, different identification information is used to label different PLMNs. knowledge. In this application, the identification of the first PLMN is called first identification information.
作为一种可实现方式,本实施例中,当终端设备发起初始接入时,可以将第一标识信息携带在RRC建立完成(RRCSetupComplete)信令中发送给接入网设备,相应的,接入网设备从RRCSetupComplete信令中获取到所述第一标识信息。可选地,第一标识信息可以为第一PLMN标识。As an implementation method, in this embodiment, when the terminal device initiates initial access, the first identification information can be carried in the RRC Setup Complete (RRCSetupComplete) signaling and sent to the access network device. Correspondingly, the access network device The network device obtains the first identification information from RRCSetupComplete signaling. Optionally, the first identification information may be a first PLMN identification.
在此说明的是,不同的运营商使用(或配置)不同的PLMN,即运营商和PLMN之间是具有对应关系的。因此本实施例中,终端设备使用第一PLMN也可以认为是使用的第一运营商的配置的PLMN。What is explained here is that different operators use (or configure) different PLMNs, that is, there is a corresponding relationship between operators and PLMNs. Therefore, in this embodiment, the terminal device using the first PLMN can also be considered as using the PLMN configured by the first operator.

Correspondingly, the core network device receives the first identification information. and second identification information, the second identification information indicating the second PLMN that the access network device refers to when broadcasting parameter information based on the network slice group identification.
需要说明的是,不同的运营商使用不同的PLMN,而当多个运营商处于MOCN模式时,接入网设备通常是以一个PLMN中的网络切片组标识作为参考,来广播基于不同网络切片组标识的参数信息的。本申请中,将接入网设备在广播基于不同网络切片组标识的参数信息时参考的PLMN称为第二PLMN。为便于区分,本实施例中也将第一PLMN称为从PLMN或服务PLMN,将第二PLMN称为主PLMN。It should be noted that different operators use different PLMNs, and when multiple operators are in MOCN mode, the access network equipment usually uses the network slicing group identifier in one PLMN as a reference to broadcast messages based on different network slicing groups. Identified parameter information. In this application, the PLMN that the access network device refers to when broadcasting parameter information based on different network slice group identifiers is called the second PLMN. To facilitate distinction, in this embodiment, the first PLMN is also called the slave PLMN or the serving PLMN, and the second PLMN is called the master PLMN.
其中,网络切片组标识对应(或也称为关联)了一组网络切片(称为网络切片组),该组中每个网络切片通过网络切片标识进行区分且该组中每个网络切片具有相同的网络切片组标识。示例性地,某个运营商配置的网络切片组标识如下:标识为slice group1的网络切片组关联网络切片标识为slice1的网络切片、网络切片标识为slice2的网络切片以及网络切片标识为slice3的网络切片,例如可以表示为:slice group1={slice1,slice2,slice3}。Among them, the network slice group identifier corresponds to (or is also called associated with) a group of network slices (called a network slice group). Each network slice in the group is distinguished by the network slice identifier and each network slice in the group has the same The network slice group ID. For example, the network slice group identifier configured by an operator is as follows: the network slice group identifier is slice group1, which is associated with the network slice with the network slice identifier slice1, the network slice identifier with the network slice identifier slice2, and the network slice identifier with the network slice identifier slice3. Slice, for example, can be expressed as: slice group1={slice1, slice2, slice3}.
在此说明的是,本申请实施例对基于网络切片组标识的参数信息的具体内容不做限制。例如,基于网络切片组标识的参数信息可以是基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息,也可以是基于网络切片组标识的随机接入参数信息,其具体内容可以根据应用场景而定。It should be noted here that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the parameter information based on the network slice group identifier. For example, the parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier can be cell reselection priority parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier, or it can be random access parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier, and its specific content can be determined according to the application scenario. .
S216,核心网设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息。S216: The core network device sends the first instruction information to the terminal device.
相应的,终端设备接收第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息指示第一PLMN中第一网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射关系,第一目标网络切片组标识为第二PLMN中与第二网络切片标识关联的网络切片组标识,第一网络切片标识与第二网络切片标识指示相同的网络切片业务。Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information, which indicates the mapping relationship between the first network slice identifier and the first target network slice group identifier in the first PLMN, and the first target network slice group identifier is the first network slice group identifier. 2. A network slice group identifier associated with the second network slice identifier in the PLMN, where the first network slice identifier and the second network slice identifier indicate the same network slice service.
需要说明的是,通常情况下,当多个运营商处于MOCN模式时,接入网设备能够知道多个运营商中每个运营商配置的PLMN中的网络切片组的相关信息。此外,为了进行通信,接入网设备通常需要将多个PLMN中每个PLMN的网络切片组的相关信息发送给核心网设备,以使得核心网设备可以知道每个PLMN中的网络切片组的相关信息。 It should be noted that, usually, when multiple operators are in MOCN mode, the access network device can know the relevant information of the network slicing group in the PLMN configured by each of the multiple operators. In addition, in order to communicate, the access network device usually needs to send the relevant information of the network slicing group of each PLMN in multiple PLMNs to the core network device, so that the core network device can know the relevant information of the network slicing group in each PLMN. information.
因此,在执行本步骤之前,本实施例中的方法还包括S210:接入网设备向核心网设备发送第一信息,所述第一信息包括N个公共陆地移动网PLMN中每个PLMN的网络切片组标识、与每个PLMN中的每个网络切片组标识关联的网络切片标识,N个PLMN中包括第一PLMN和第二PLMN,N为正整数。也就是说,每个运营商配置的PLMN中的网络切片组的相关信息可以包括:为每个网络切片业务配置的网络切片标识、为每个网络切片标识关联的网络切片组标识等。Therefore, before executing this step, the method in this embodiment also includes S210: the access network device sends first information to the core network device, where the first information includes the network of each PLMN of the N public land mobile network PLMNs. Slice group identifier, network slice identifier associated with each network slice group identifier in each PLMN. The N PLMNs include the first PLMN and the second PLMN, and N is a positive integer. That is to say, the relevant information of the network slice group in the PLMN configured by each operator may include: the network slice identifier configured for each network slice service, the network slice group identifier associated with each network slice identifier, etc.
应理解,不同的运营商配置的PLMN中的网络切片的相关信息可能是不一样的。现以两个运营商网络为例进行说明。It should be understood that the relevant information of network slices in PLMNs configured by different operators may be different. Now we take two operator networks as an example for explanation.
例如,在第一种示例中,假设现在包括4个业务,假设称为第一网络切片业务、第二网络切片业务、第三网络切片业务和第四网络切片业务。对于第一个运营商网络,配置的网络切片组的相关信息为:第一网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice1、第二网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice2、第三网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice3和第四网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice4,其中,slice1和slice2与网络切片组标识slice group1关联,slice3和slice4与网络切片组标识slice group2关联。而对于第二个运营商网络,配置的网络切片组的相关信息为:第一网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice1、第二网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice2、第三网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice3和第四网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice4,其中,slice1和slice2与网络切片组标识slice group2关联,slice3和slice4与网络切片组标识slice group1关联。在此说明的是,该示例仅是用于说明不同的运营商配置的网络切片组标识为不同的一种示例,不构成本申请的限制。For example, in the first example, it is assumed that four services are now included, which are assumed to be called the first network slice service, the second network slice service, the third network slice service and the fourth network slice service. For the first operator network, the relevant information of the configured network slice group is: the network slice identifier of the first network slice service is slice1, the network slice identifier of the second network slice service is slice2, and the network slice of the third network slice service The network slice identified as slice3 and the fourth network slice service are identified as slice4, where slice1 and slice2 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group1, and slice3 and slice4 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group2. For the second operator network, the relevant information of the configured network slice group is: the network slice identifier of the first network slice service is slice1, the network slice identifier of the second network slice service is slice2, and the network slice identifier of the third network slice service is slice2. The slice identifier is slice3 and the network slice identifier of the fourth network slice service is slice4, where slice1 and slice2 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group2, and slice3 and slice4 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group1. It should be noted that this example is only an example used to illustrate that network slice group identifiers configured by different operators are different, and does not constitute a limitation of this application.
例如,在另一种示例中,不同运营商对于同一个网络切片业务配置的网络切片标识也可能是不一样的。For example, in another example, different operators may configure different network slice identifiers for the same network slice service.
假设现在包括4个业务,假设称为第一网络切片业务、第二网络切片业务、第三网络切片业务和第四网络切片业务。对于第一个运营商网络,配置的网络切片组的相关信息为:第一网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice1、第二网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice2、第三网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice3和第四网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice4,其中,slice1和slice2与网络切片组标识slice group1关联,slice3和slice4与网络切片组标识slice group2关联。而对于第二个运营商网络,配置的网络切片组的相关信息为:第一网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice3、第二网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice4、第三网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice1和第四网络切片业务的网络切片标识为slice2,其中,slice3和slice4与网络切片组标识slice group1关联,slice1和slice2与网络切片组标识slice group2关联。在此说明的是,该示例仅是用于说明不同的运营商配置的网络切片标识为不同的一种示例,不构成本申请的限制。It is assumed that four services are now included, which are assumed to be called the first network slice service, the second network slice service, the third network slice service and the fourth network slice service. For the first operator network, the relevant information of the configured network slice group is: the network slice identifier of the first network slice service is slice1, the network slice identifier of the second network slice service is slice2, and the network slice of the third network slice service The network slice identified as slice3 and the fourth network slice service are identified as slice4, where slice1 and slice2 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group1, and slice3 and slice4 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group2. For the second operator network, the relevant information of the configured network slice group is: the network slice identifier of the first network slice service is slice3, the network slice identifier of the second network slice service is slice4, and the network slice identifier of the third network slice service is slice4. The slice identifier is slice1 and the network slice identifier of the fourth network slice service is slice2. Among them, slice3 and slice4 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group1, and slice1 and slice2 are associated with the network slice group identifier slice group2. It should be noted here that this example is only an example used to illustrate that network slice identifiers configured by different operators are different, and does not constitute a limitation of this application.
应理解,不同的运营商配置的PLMN中的网络切片组的相关信息不一样,使得多个PLMN共享接入网设备的某个小区时,由于接入网设备通常在广播基于网络切片组标识的参数信息时,是参考的多个PLMN中的一个PLMN(即主PLMN),这样,会导致该小区中选择从PLMN的终端设备从广播中获取到的基于网络切片组标识的参数信息可能是错误的,进一步地导致终端设备无法执行相应的操作。以上述第一种示例中的两个运营商配置的网络切片组的相关信息为例。若该两个运营商对应的两个PLMN网络共享小区A,且接入网设备在广播时使用的基于网络切片组的相关信息是参考的第一个运营商,此时,对于该小 区A中选择第二个运营商的PLMN的终端设备1而言,如果终端设备1要进行小区重选,则终端设备1会先确定可能发起的业务为第一网络切片业务,且该第一网络切片业务对应的网络切片标识为slice1和对应的网络切片组标识为slice group2后,终端设备1会从广播消息中获取基于slice group2的小区重选优先级参数信息。然而,应理解,广播消息中的基于slice group2的小区重选优先级参数信息是参考的第一个运营商配置的网络切片组标识,而第一个运营商配置的slice group2中包括的slice3和slice4分别指示第三网络切片业务和第四网络切片业务,而不指示第一网络切片业务,导致终端设备的小区重选行为可能存在以下两种情况:1)终端设备可以基于这个不对应的小区重选优先级参数信息进行小区重选,只要该小区重选优先级参数信息中指示的频点终端设备支持,但是,终端设备基于该小区重选优先级参数信息进行小区重选的问题在于:能重选成功但并不是终端的理想行为。2)由于网络指示信息的不对应使得终端重选失败。It should be understood that the relevant information of network slice groups in PLMNs configured by different operators is different. When multiple PLMNs share a certain cell of the access network device, the access network device usually broadcasts the network slice group based on the network slice group identifier. When parameter information is referenced, it refers to one PLMN (i.e., the primary PLMN) among multiple PLMNs. In this way, the parameter information based on the network slice group identifier obtained from the broadcast by the terminal device in the cell that selects the slave PLMN may be incorrect. , further causing the terminal device to be unable to perform corresponding operations. Take the related information of network slicing groups configured by two operators in the first example above as an example. If the two PLMN networks corresponding to the two operators share cell A, and the relevant information based on the network slicing group used by the access network equipment when broadcasting is the first operator referenced, at this time, for the small For terminal equipment 1 that selects the second operator's PLMN in area A, if terminal equipment 1 wants to perform cell reselection, terminal equipment 1 will first determine that the service that may be initiated is the first network slicing service, and the first network slicing service After the network slice identifier corresponding to the network slicing service is slice1 and the corresponding network slice group identifier is slice group2, terminal device 1 will obtain the cell reselection priority parameter information based on slice group2 from the broadcast message. However, it should be understood that the cell reselection priority parameter information based on slice group2 in the broadcast message refers to the network slice group identifier configured by the first operator, and the slice3 and slice included in slice group2 configured by the first operator slice4 indicates the third network slice service and the fourth network slice service respectively, but does not indicate the first network slice service. As a result, the cell reselection behavior of the terminal device may have the following two situations: 1) The terminal device may be based on this non-corresponding cell. The reselection priority parameter information is used to perform cell reselection, as long as the frequency point terminal device indicated in the cell reselection priority parameter information supports it. However, the problem with the terminal device performing cell reselection based on the cell reselection priority parameter information is: Reselection can be successful but is not ideal behavior for the terminal. 2) Terminal reselection fails due to mismatch in network indication information.
由上述可知,核心网设备基于接入网设备发送的第一信息,可以获知每个运营商配置的网络切片组的相关信息。因此,对于核心网设备,当接收到接入网设备发送的第一标识信息和第二标识信息时,可以确定出第一PLMN中的任意一个网络切片标识指示的网络切片业务是否在第二PLMN中也具有网络切片标识,以及若某个网络切片业务(本申请中也称为第一网络切片业务)在第二PLMN中时具有网络切片标识(本申请中也称为第二网络切片标识)时,核心网设备可以进一步地根据第二PLMN中的网络切片组标识与网络切片标识之间的映射关系,确定出第一网络切片业务在第二PLMN中的网络切片组标识(本申请中也称为第一目标网络切片组标识)。It can be seen from the above that the core network device can learn the relevant information of the network slicing group configured by each operator based on the first information sent by the access network device. Therefore, for the core network device, when receiving the first identification information and the second identification information sent by the access network device, it can be determined whether the network slice service indicated by any network slice identification in the first PLMN is in the second PLMN. There is also a network slice identifier in the PLMN, and if a certain network slice service (also called the first network slice service in this application) is in the second PLMN, it has a network slice identifier (also called the second network slice identifier in this application). When called the first target network slice group ID).
因此,本实施例中,若核心网设备确定出第一PLMN中的第一网络切片标识所指示的第一网络切片业务在第二PLMN中存在对应的第二网络切片标识时,向终端设备发送第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示第一PLMN中第一网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射关系,所述第一目标网络切片组标识为第二PLMN中与第二网络切片标识关联的网络切片组标识。Therefore, in this embodiment, if the core network device determines that the first network slice service indicated by the first network slice identifier in the first PLMN has a corresponding second network slice identifier in the second PLMN, it sends a message to the terminal device. First indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the mapping relationship between the first network slice identifier and the first target network slice group identifier in the first PLMN, and the first target network slice group identifier is the second PLMN The network slice group identifier associated with the second network slice identifier in .
在第一种实施方案中,核心网设备发送的第一指示信息包括第一网络切片标识与所述第二网络切片标识之间的映射信息和所述第二PLMN中所述第二网络切片标识与所述第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射信息。In the first embodiment, the first indication information sent by the core network device includes mapping information between the first network slice identifier and the second network slice identifier and the second network slice identifier in the second PLMN. Mapping information with the first target network slice group identifier.
可以理解的是,在该实施方案中,如果选择第一PLMN的终端设备想要发起某个应用程序(application,APP)业务,可以通过网络切片选择策略(network slice selection policy,NSSP)得到该APP业务对应的切片标识为第一PLMN中的第一网络切片标识(例如slice1),再根据第一指示信息,得到第一PLMN中的slice1与第二PLMN中第二网络切片标识(例如slice2)对应,最后再得到第二PLMN中的slice2与第二PLMN内的第一目标网络切片组标识(例如slice group2)关联。即可以得到第一PLMN内的slice1对应第二PLMN中的slice group2。It can be understood that in this implementation, if the terminal device that selects the first PLMN wants to initiate an application (APP) service, the APP can be obtained through the network slice selection policy (NSSP) The slice identifier corresponding to the service is the first network slice identifier (for example, slice1) in the first PLMN, and then according to the first indication information, the correspondence between slice1 in the first PLMN and the second network slice identifier (for example, slice2) in the second PLMN is obtained. , and finally obtain the association between slice2 in the second PLMN and the first target network slice group identifier (for example, slice group2) in the second PLMN. That is, it can be obtained that slice1 in the first PLMN corresponds to slice group2 in the second PLMN.
在第二种实施方案中,核心网设备发送的第一指示信息可以直接包括第一网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射信息。In the second implementation, the first indication information sent by the core network device may directly include mapping information between the first network slice identifier and the first target network slice group identifier.
可以理解的是,在该实施方案中,如果终端设备想要发起某个APP业务,可以通过NSSP得到该APP业务对应的切片标识为第一PLMN中的第一网络切片标识(例如slice1),然后再根据第一指示信息直接得到第一PLMN中的slice1对应第二PLMN中的slice group2。 It can be understood that in this embodiment, if the terminal device wants to initiate an APP service, the slice identifier corresponding to the APP service can be obtained through NSSP as the first network slice identifier (for example, slice1) in the first PLMN, and then Then, it is directly obtained according to the first indication information that slice1 in the first PLMN corresponds to slice group2 in the second PLMN.
可以看出,上述第二种实施方案与第一种实施方案的区别在于:第二种实施方案是核心网设备根据第一PLMN中的网络切片标识与第二PLMN中的网络切片标识之间的映射关系、以及第二PLMN中的网络切片组的标识信息先完成第一PLMN中网络切片标识与第二PLMN中网络切片组标识的映射关系的推导,然后再将其发送给终端设备。It can be seen that the difference between the above-mentioned second implementation and the first implementation is that: in the second implementation, the core network device is based on the difference between the network slice identifier in the first PLMN and the network slice identifier in the second PLMN. The mapping relationship and the identification information of the network slice group in the second PLMN first complete the derivation of the mapping relationship between the network slice identifier in the first PLMN and the network slice group identifier in the second PLMN, and then send it to the terminal device.
S218,接入网设备广播第二PLMN中的基于网络切片组标识的参数信息,相应的,终端设备接收接入网设备广播的第二PLMN中的基于网络切片组标识的参数信息。S218: The access network device broadcasts the parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier in the second PLMN. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the parameter information based on the network slicing group identifier in the second PLMN broadcast by the access network device.
本实施例中,接入网设备广播的基于网络切片组标识的参数信息是参考的第二PLMN。In this embodiment, the parameter information based on the network slice group identifier broadcast by the access network device is the reference second PLMN.
在此说明的是,本申请实施例对S216和S218的前后顺序不做限制。即,本申请实施例中,对接入网设备是先向核心网设备发送第一标识信息和第二标识信息,还是先广播的具体时间关系不做限制,例如可以是先向核心网设备发送第一标识信息和第二标识信息再广播,也可以是先广播再向核心网设备发送第一标识信息和第二标识信息,又或者可以同时进行。It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the order of S216 and S218. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the specific time relationship of whether the access network device sends the first identification information and the second identification information to the core network device first, or broadcasts it first. For example, it can be sent to the core network device first. The first identification information and the second identification information are then broadcast, or they may be broadcast first and then the first identification information and the second identification information are sent to the core network device, or they may be performed simultaneously.
S220,终端设备在确定第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识时,从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。S220: When determining that the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service is the first network slice identifier, the terminal device obtains parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier from the broadcast.
本实施例中,当终端设备确定出第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识时,由于核心网设备向终端设备发送了用于指示第一PLMN中第一网络切片标识与第二PLMN中的第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射关系的第一指示信息,因此,终端设备可以基于第一指示信息确定出应该从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。In this embodiment, when the terminal device determines that the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service is the first network slice identifier, because the core network device sends to the terminal device a message indicating that the first network slice identifier in the first PLMN is the same as the first network slice identifier. The first indication information of the mapping relationship between the first target network slice group identifiers in the two PLMNs. Therefore, the terminal device can determine based on the first indication information that the parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier should be obtained from the broadcast. .
具体地,由S216可知,核心网设备发送的第一指示信息的一种类型为:直接包括第一网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射信息。可以理解的是,在该实施方案中,终端设备从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息的过程为:终端设备可以先通过NSSP得到第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识,然后再根据第一指示信息直接得到第一网络切片标识对应第二PLMN中的第一目标网络切片组标识,并从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。Specifically, it can be seen from S216 that one type of first indication information sent by the core network device is: directly including mapping information between the first network slice identifier and the first target network slice group identifier. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the process for the terminal device to obtain the parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier from the broadcast is: the terminal device can first obtain the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service through NSSP. a network slice identifier, and then directly obtain the first network slice identifier corresponding to the first target network slice group identifier in the second PLMN according to the first indication information, and obtain parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier from the broadcast.
具体地,由S216可知,核心网设备发送的第一指示信息的另一种类型为:包括第一网络切片标识与第二网络切片标识之间的映射信息和第二PLMN中第二网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射信息。可以理解的是,在该实施方案中,终端设备从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息的过程为:终端设备可以先通过NSSP得到第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识,然后再根据第一指示信息,先得到第一网络切片标识对应第二PLMN中的第二网络切片标识,然后在基于第二网络切片标识与第一目标网络切片组标识之间的映射信息得到第一目标网络切片组标识,并从广播中获取基于第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。Specifically, it can be seen from S216 that another type of first indication information sent by the core network device is: including mapping information between the first network slice identifier and the second network slice identifier and the second network slice identifier in the second PLMN. Mapping information with the first target network slice group identifier. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the process for the terminal device to obtain the parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier from the broadcast is: the terminal device can first obtain the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service through NSSP. A network slice identifier, and then according to the first instruction information, first obtain the first network slice identifier corresponding to the second network slice identifier in the second PLMN, and then obtain the first network slice identifier based on the second network slice identifier and the first target network slice group identifier. The mapping information obtains the first target network slice group identifier, and obtains parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier from the broadcast.
在此说明的是,本申请实施例对终端设备从广播中获取基于网络切片组标识的参数信息的具体内容不做限制。It should be noted that this embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the terminal device obtaining parameter information based on the network slice group identifier from the broadcast.
例如,在小区重选场景中,终端设备需要获取基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息。更具体地,本申请中,若为小区重选场景,则接入网设备可以广播用于小区重选的基于网络切片组标识的小区重选优先级参数信息,选择第一PLMN的终端设备的非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)可以先根据第一信息得到第一目标业务在第二PLMN中对应的是第一目标网络切片组标识,然后终端设备的NAS可以将该第一目标网络切片组 标识发送给终端设备的接入层(access stratum,AS)并执行小区重选流程。For example, in a cell reselection scenario, the terminal device needs to obtain cell reselection priority parameter information based on the network slice group identifier.

本实施例中,若第一PLMN中的第三网络切片标识指示的网络切片业务(例如称为第二目标业务)在第二PLMN中找不到对应的网络切片标识以及网络切片组标识,即第二目 标业务仅被第一PLMN支持,在这种情况下,为了使得支持第二目标业务的终端设备能够获取到基于网络切片组标识的参数信息以完成相应的操作时,本实施例中,接入网设备还广播基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。In this embodiment, if the network slice service (for example, called the second target service) indicated by the third network slice identifier in the first PLMN cannot find the corresponding network slice identifier and network slice group identifier in the second PLMN, that is, Second item The target service is only supported by the first PLMN. In this case, in order to enable the terminal device that supports the second target service to obtain the parameter information based on the network slice group identifier to complete the corresponding operation, in this embodiment, the access The network device also broadcasts parameter information based on the second target network slice group identification in the first PLMN.
可选地,需要理解的是,在接入网设备广播基于第二PLMN中的网络切片组标识的参数信息以及基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息时,考虑到第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识与第二PLMN中的某个网络切片组标识可能相同,或者邻区非所有运营商共享的场景,本实施例中,还可以在广播基于第二PLMN中的网络切片组标识的参数信息和/或基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息时,向终端设备发送指示信息(本申请中也称为第三指示信息或有效指示),以使得终端设备可以区分广播的基于网络切片组标识信息中哪些适用于第一PLMN,哪些适用于第二PLMN。Optionally, it should be understood that when the access network device broadcasts parameter information based on the network slice group identifier in the second PLMN and parameter information based on the second target network slice group identifier in the first PLMN, the third The second target network slice group identifier in one PLMN may be the same as a certain network slice group identifier in the second PLMN, or the neighboring cells are not shared by all operators.

具体地,终端设备在确定第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识时,从广播中获取基于第二PLMN中的第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息;或者,当终端设备确定第二目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第三网络切片标识时,从广播中获取基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。Specifically, when the terminal device determines that the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service is the first network slice identifier, the terminal device obtains parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier in the second PLMN from the broadcast; or, when the terminal device When it is determined that the network slice identifier corresponding to the second target service is the third network slice identifier, parameter information based on the second target network slice group identifier in the first PLMN is obtained from the broadcast.
其中,有关在确定第一目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第一网络切片标识时,从广播中获取基于第二PLMN中的第一目标网络切片组标识的参数信息的详细描述可以参考图2所示实施例中的描述,此处不再赘述。For a detailed description of obtaining parameter information based on the first target network slice group identifier in the second PLMN from the broadcast when it is determined that the network slice identifier corresponding to the first target service is the first network slice identifier, please refer to Figure 2 The description in the embodiment is not repeated here.
本实施例中,在一种可能的场景中,当终端设备在确定第二目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第三网络切片标识时,若第二PLMN中没有与第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识相同的网络切片组标识,此时,终端设备会从广播中获取基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。在另一种可能的场景中,当终端设备在确定第二目标业务对应的网络切片标识为第三网络切片标识时,如果第二PLMN中存在与第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识相同的网络切片组标识,此时,终端设备可以基于有效指示,从广播中获取基于第一PLMN中的第二目标网络切片组标识的参数信息。In this embodiment, in a possible scenario, when the terminal device determines that the network slice identifier corresponding to the second target service is the third network slice identifier, if the second PLMN does not have the same second target service as the first PLMN, The network slicing group identifier has the same network slicing group identifier. At this time, the terminal device will obtain parameter information based on the second target network slicing group identifier in the first PLMN from the broadcast.

The network slice group identifier corresponding to the certain service (the first target network slice group identifier). If the corresponding first target network slice group identifier is found based on the first indication information, the network slice group identifier based on the first target network slice group identifier in the second PLMN is obtained from the broadcast. a target network slice Parameter information for group identification. If the corresponding network slice group identifier is not found, the network slice group identifier (the second target network slice group identifier) of the certain service in the first PLMN is determined based on the second indication information, and the network slice group identifier based on the first target network slice group identifier is obtained from the broadcast.

在此说明的是,该实施例中以终端设备需要基于网络切片组标识的参数信息进行小区重选或基于网络切片组标识的参数信息进行随机接入为例进行说明。It is explained here that in this embodiment, the terminal device needs to perform cell reselection based on the parameter information of the network slicing group identifier or perform random access based on the parameter information of the network slicing group identifier as an example.

The associated network slice identifier. The N PLMNs include the first PLMN and the second PLMN, and N is a positive integer.
其中,该步骤的详细描述可以参考图2所示实施例中的S210中的描述,此处不再赘述。For a detailed description of this step, reference may be made to the description in S210 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , which will not be described again here.
S420,终端设备发起随机接入或者连接态时,发送第一标识信息和请求的***消息的类型,其中,第一标识信息指示终端设备选择的第一PLMN。S420: When the terminal device initiates random access or a connected state, it sends first identification information and the type of the requested system message, where the first identification information indicates the first PLMN selected by the terminal device.

When the access network device determines that the first PLMN is the slave PLMN, the access network device determines, based on the identification information of each network slice group in the slave PLMN and the network slice identifier associated with each network slice group identifier, according to the requested system The type of message generated is based on the parameter information identified from the network slice group of the PLMN.
例如,在一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备请求的是现有的SIB1或的SIB16,则接入网设备可以根据从PLMN中的每个网络切片组标识信息以及与每个网络切片组标识关联的网络切片标识,在不改变SIB1或的SIB16的信令设计的情况下,生成基于第一PLMN的网络切片组标识的参数信息。For example, in a possible implementation, when the terminal device requests the existing SIB1 or SIB16, the access network device can obtain the identification information from each network slice group in the PLMN and the information related to each network slice group. Identify the associated network slice identifier, and generate parameter information based on the network slice group identifier of the first PLMN without changing the signaling design of SIB1 or SIB16.
又例如,在另一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备请求的是新的SIB时,则接入网设备可以专门为从PLMN生成一个新的SIB。可选地,在该方案中,若从PLMN有多个,则接入网设备在为一个PLMN生成一个新的SIB后,对于选择其他从PLMN的终端设备,若也请求了新的SIB,则接入网设备可以在不改变新的SIB的信令设计的情况下,生成基于其他从PLMN的网络切片组标识的参数信息;或者,若选择其他从PLMN的终端设备也请求了新的SIB,则接入网设备可以分别为不同的从PLMN各自生成一个新的SIB,各个SIB通过各自的PLMN标识/PLMN在SIB1广播的PLMN标识信息列表(例如plmn-IdentityInfoList标准信元)或非公共网络标识信息列表(例如npn-IdentityInfoList标准信元)中的索引/服务小区内不同PLMN所属TAC、TAI来区分。For another example, in another possible implementation manner, when the terminal device requests a new SIB, the access network device may specifically generate a new SIB for the slave PLMN. Optionally, in this solution, if there are multiple slave PLMNs, after the access network device generates a new SIB for one PLMN, if the terminal device that selects other slave PLMNs also requests a new SIB, then The access network device can generate parameter information based on the network slice group identification of other slave PLMNs without changing the signaling design of the new SIB; or, if the terminal device of other slave PLMNs also requests a new SIB, Then the access network equipment can generate a new SIB for different slave PLMNs respectively. Each SIB uses its own PLMN identity/PLMN identity information list broadcast by PLMN in SIB1 (such as plmn-IdentityInfoList standard information element) or non-public network identity.

There are no restrictions on how the parameter information of the slice group identifier can be implemented.
例如,接入网设备可以根据选择第一PLMN的终端设备发送的请求的***消息的类型的数量来决定单播还是广播,比如当接入网设备在某一时刻一共收到超过L(L为正整数)个请求第一PLMN中的网络切片组标识的参数信息时,可以通过广播的方式向终端设备提供基于第一PLMN中的网络切片组标识的参数信息。For example, the access network device may decide whether to unicast or broadcast based on the number of requested system message types sent by the terminal device that selects the first PLMN. For example, when the access network device receives a total of more than L (L is When a positive integer) requests the parameter information of the network slice group identifier in the first PLMN, the parameter information based on the network slice group identifier in the first PLMN may be provided to the terminal device in a broadcast manner.
在此说明的是,本申请实施例对L的具体取值不做限制,可以根据具体的应用场景而定。It should be noted here that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of L, and it can be determined according to the specific application scenario.
