图2是根据一示例性实施例示出的一种通信方法,应用于卫星,卫星作为接入点,用于终端通过卫星以非3GPP接入方式接入核心网,方法包括:Figure 2 shows a communication method according to an exemplary embodiment. It is applied to satellites. Satellites serve as access points for terminals to access the core network through satellites in a non-3GPP access mode. The method includes:
S201、卫星通过与终端的层二连接(L2 connection,Layer 2 connection),接收终端发送的EAP数据包,层二连接为终端在确定通过卫星以非3GPP接入方式接入核心网是可信连接时建立的。S201. The satellite receives the EAP data packet sent by the terminal through the Layer 2 connection (L2 connection, Layer 2 connection) with the terminal. The Layer 2 connection is the trusted connection for the terminal to determine that accessing the core network through the satellite in a non-3GPP access mode is a trusted connection. established at the time.
S202、卫星将EAP数据包以及卫星的标识信息封装为第一消息,EAP数据包包括网络接入标识符。S202. The satellite encapsulates the EAP data packet and the identification information of the satellite into a first message. The EAP data packet includes a network access identifier.
S203、卫星将第一消息发送至接入网中的卫星接入网关功能网元,卫星接入网关功能网元提供可信非3GPP网关功能,第一消息用于卫星接入网关功能网元根据第一消息生成注册消息,注册消息包括标识信息。S203. The satellite sends the first message to the satellite access gateway functional network element in the access network. The satellite access gateway functional network element provides a trusted non-3GPP gateway function. The first message is used by the satellite access gateway functional network element according to The first message generates a registration message, and the registration message includes identification information.
具体地,终端可以是通过可信的非3GPP接入网选择程序,选择一个公共陆地移动网络(PLMN,Public Land Mobile Network),并选择一个用于接入该移动网络的非3GPP接入网络,该接入网的接入点由该可信非3GPP卫星提供。Specifically, the terminal can select a public land mobile network (PLMN, Public Land Mobile Network) through a trusted non-3GPP access network selection procedure, and select a non-3GPP access network for accessing the mobile network, The access point of the access network is provided by the trusted non-3GPP satellite.
进一步,终端在检测到该接入点后,与该接入点(即卫星)建立一个L2连接(即层二连接)。卫星则在L2连接建立后向终端发送EAP请求,以使得终端启动EAP程序,以将EAP消息封装至EAP数据包中,该EAP数据包可以是IEEE 802.3/802.1x数据包、IEEE 802.11/802.1x数据包或者PPP数据包等等。该EAP数据包中可以包括NAI(网络接入标识符,Nature of Address Indicator),该NAI可以用于表明该终端请求连接到一个特定的PLMN,示例地,NAI可以是如下的一条消息:NAI=="<any_username>@nai.5gc.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.3gppnetwork.org"。Further, after detecting the access point, the terminal establishes an L2 connection (ie, layer 2 connection) with the access point (ie, satellite). After the L2 connection is established, the satellite sends an EAP request to the terminal, so that the terminal starts the EAP program to encapsulate the EAP message into an EAP data packet. The EAP data packet can be an IEEE 802.3/802.1x data packet, IEEE 802.11/802.1x Data packets or PPP packets, etc. The EAP packet may include NAI (Network Access Identifier, Nature of Address Indicator). The NAI may be used to indicate that the terminal requests to connect to a specific PLMN. For example, the NAI may be the following message: NAI= ="<any_username>@nai.5gc.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.3gppnetwork.org".
在一示例中,卫星接入网关功能网元在生成注册消息后还可以将该注册消息发送至核心网中的目标网元。进而使得终端以非3GPP接入方式接入核心网。In an example, after generating the registration message, the satellite access gateway functional network element may also send the registration message to the target network element in the core network. This allows the terminal to access the core network in a non-3GPP access mode.
卫星接入网关功能网元在选取目标网元(例如选取AMF网元)后向该网元发送的注册请求中,可以包括一个终端位置信息(ULI),该信息包含一个"空"IP地址(例如0.0.0.0),因为终端还没有被分配一个IP地址,此外,还可以包括上述的标识信息。在终端被分配到一个IP地址后,卫星接入网关功能网元会在随后的N2消息中包括这个地址和/或标识消息。After the satellite access gateway functional network element selects the target network element (for example, the AMF network element is selected), the registration request sent to the network element can include a terminal location information (ULI), which contains an "empty" IP address ( For example, 0.0.0.0), because the terminal has not been assigned an IP address, in addition, the above identification information can also be included. After the terminal is assigned an IP address, the satellite access gateway function network element will include the address and/or identification message in the subsequent N2 message.
可选地,将第一消息发送至可信非3GPP接入网的卫星接入网关功能网元包括:通过卫星与卫星接入网关功能网元的AAA接口,将第一消息发送至卫星接入网关功能网元;其中,第一消息为AAA消息。Optionally, sending the first message to the satellite access gateway functional network element of the trusted non-3GPP access network includes: sending the first message to the satellite access network through the AAA interface between the satellite and the satellite access gateway functional network element. Gateway function network element; wherein the first message is an AAA message.
其中,该第一消息中的标识信息可以用于认证、授权与计费。也就是说,卫星与卫星接入网关之间可以是通过AAA接口进行信息交互的,该AAA接口为支持EAP封装的数据连接(L2连接,即层二连接)。The identification information in the first message can be used for authentication, authorization and accounting. In other words, information can be exchanged between the satellite and the satellite access gateway through the AAA interface, which is a data connection that supports EAP encapsulation (L2 connection, that is, a layer two connection).
具体的,该卫星接入网关功能网元可以作为AAA代理,上述NAI可以触发卫星向作为AAA代理的卫星接入网关功能网元发送AAA消息。Specifically, the satellite access gateway functional network element can serve as an AAA agent, and the above NAI can trigger the satellite to send an AAA message to the satellite access gateway functional network element serving as the AAA agent.
在一示例中,标识信息包括航天器国际电联身份编号(S-ITU ID)、国际空间研究委员会编号(COSPAR ID,Committee on Space Research Identity)、国际卫星标识符(International Designator,ID),以及国家航天科学数据中心标识(NSSDC ID,National Space Science Data Center ID)中的一者或多者。其中,国际卫星标识符可以与国际空间研究委员会编号等同,均为COSPAR ID,仅是称呼不同。In one example, the identification information includes the spacecraft ITU ID (S-ITU ID), the Committee on Space Research Identity (COSPAR ID), the International Satellite Identifier (International Designator, ID), and One or more of the National Space Science Data Center IDs (NSSDC ID, National Space Science Data Center ID). Among them, the international satellite identifier can be the same as the International Committee on Space Research number, both are COSPAR IDs, only the names are different.
在一示例中,目标网元为AMF网元。In an example, the target network element is an AMF network element.
其中,核心网中的AMF网元可以有多个,卫星接入网关功能网元可以在向AMF网元发送注册请求之前,从该多个AMF网元中选取一个AMF网元。There may be multiple AMF network elements in the core network, and the satellite access gateway function network element may select one AMF network element from the multiple AMF network elements before sending a registration request to the AMF network element.
在另一示例中,该AMF网元用于将标识信息发送给核心网中的UDM网元。In another example, the AMF network element is used to send identification information to the UDM network element in the core network.
具体地,核心网中还可与包括多个UDM网元,AMF网元可以从多个UDM中选取一个UDM网元进行注册,该标识消息可以是AMF网元向UDM注册时提供接入类型(接入类型为非3GPP接入)时同时发送的。Specifically, the core network may also include multiple UDM network elements, and the AMF network element may select one UDM network element from multiple UDMs for registration. The identification message may be the access type ( Sent simultaneously when the access type is non-3GPP access).
在又一实例中,该AMF网元还用于将标识信息发送给核心网中的SMF网元和/或PCF网元。将该标识信息发送至SMF网元/PCF网元,该标识信息可以用政策管理(例如QoS、移动性管理)以及收费控制。In another example, the AMF network element is also used to send identification information to the SMF network element and/or the PCF network element in the core network. The identification information is sent to the SMF network element/PCF network element, and the identification information can be used for policy management (such as QoS, mobility management) and charging control.
在一示例中,卫星接入网关功能网元与AMF网元可以通过N2接口通信,卫星接入网关功能网元用于根据第一消息,通过N2接口向AMF网元发送注册消息。In an example, the satellite access gateway functional network element and the AMF network element can communicate through the N2 interface, and the satellite access gateway functional network element is configured to send a registration message to the AMF network element through the N2 interface according to the first message.
其中,该N2接口可以是增强后的N2接口,以确保卫星接入网关功能网元与能够可靠通信。可以理解的是,在这样的情况下,该第一消息可以是N2消息。另外,卫星接入网关功能网元还可以通过该N2接口接收AMF发送的身份响应(identity response)、SMC(Satellite Mobile Channel,卫星移动信道)请求消息、N2初始上下文设置请求消息(N2Initial Ctx Setup Request)等等,并发送身份请求(identity request)、N2初始上下文设置响应消息(N2 Initial Ctx Setup Response)等等。The N2 interface may be an enhanced N2 interface to ensure reliable communication between the satellite access gateway functional network element and the network element. It can be understood that in such a case, the first message may be an N2 message. In addition, the satellite access gateway functional network element can also receive the identity response (identity response) sent by the AMF, the SMC (Satellite Mobile Channel, satellite mobile channel) request message, and the N2 initial context setting request message (N2Initial Ctx Setup Request) through the N2 interface. ), etc., and send identity request, N2 Initial Context Setup Response message (N2 Initial Ctx Setup Response), etc.
值得说明的是,以目标网元为AMF为例,卫星将第一消息发送至卫星接入网关功能网元之后,卫星接入网关功能网元可以通过L2接口向终端发送EAP-Req/5G-Start消息,该EAP-Req/5G-Start消息用于请求终端发送接入点参数(AN parameters,access point parameters),并且,终端仅在可信非3GPP接入的情况下再将NSSAI(Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,网络切片选择协助信息)纳入该接入点参数。卫星接入网关功能网元在接收到该接入点参数后,再进行AMF网元的选择,并向AMF网元发送注册请求,该注册请求可以是根据接入点参数以及第一消息中的标识信息生成的。It is worth noting that, taking the target network element as the AMF as an example, after the satellite sends the first message to the satellite access gateway functional network element, the satellite access gateway functional network element can send EAP-Req/5G- to the terminal through the L2 interface. Start message, the EAP-Req/5G-Start message is used to request the terminal to send access point parameters (AN parameters, access point parameters), and the terminal will only send NSSAI (Network Slice) in the case of trusted non-3GPP access. Selection Assistance Information, network slice selection assistance information) is included in the access point parameters. After receiving the access point parameters, the satellite access gateway function network element selects the AMF network element and sends a registration request to the AMF network element. The registration request can be based on the access point parameters and the information in the first message. Identification information is generated.
AMF在接收到该注册请求后,可以与AUSF、卫星接入网关功能网元、以及通过卫星接入网关功能网元与终端进行交互,进而使得该终端接入该AMF所在的核心网。具体的,可以包括在终端与AMF中创建一个TNGF(相当于卫星接入网关功能网元)密钥,并通过卫星接入网关功能网元将该密钥根据该TNGF密钥生成TNAP(相当于卫星)密钥,并将该密钥提供给卫星,该TNAP密钥对生成方式可以是基于非3GPP接入技术协议,例如,在IEEE 802.11标准的情况下,该TNAP密钥是一个成对主密钥。该TNAP密钥可以用于在终端与卫星之间确保层二连接的安全,在IEEE 802.11标准对情况下,执行4路握手,在卫星与终端之间建立一个安全环境,用于保护空中的单播和多播流量。终端还可以接受卫星接入网关功能网元发送的IP配置,例如是否使用DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol,动态主机配置协议),以使得终端连接到该接入网并获取IP配置并与卫星接入网关功能网元建立安全的NWt连接。进一步,NAS注册接受消息由AMF发送至卫星接入网关功能网元并通过建立的NWt连接转发给UE,以使得终端可以使用TNAN传输非无缝卸载流量和/或建立一个或多个PDU会话,实现核心网的接入。After receiving the registration request, the AMF can interact with the AUSF, the satellite access gateway functional network element, and the terminal through the satellite access gateway functional network element, thereby allowing the terminal to access the core network where the AMF is located. Specifically, it may include creating a TNGF (equivalent to a satellite access gateway functional network element) key in the terminal and the AMF, and using the satellite access gateway functional network element to generate a TNAP (equivalent to a TNAP) based on the TNGF key through the satellite access gateway functional network element. satellite) key and provide the key to the satellite. The TNAP key pair generation method may be based on a non-3GPP access technology protocol. For example, in the case of the IEEE 802.11 standard, the TNAP key is a pairwise master key. The TNAP key can be used to secure the Layer 2 connection between the terminal and the satellite. In the case of the IEEE 802.11 standard pair, a 4-way handshake is performed to establish a secure environment between the satellite and the terminal to protect the single unit in the air. broadcast and multicast traffic. The terminal can also accept the IP configuration sent by the satellite access gateway functional network element, such as whether to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), so that the terminal can connect to the access network and obtain the IP configuration and connect with the satellite The gateway function network element establishes a secure NWt connection. Further, the NAS registration acceptance message is sent by the AMF to the satellite access gateway function network element and forwarded to the UE through the established NWt connection, so that the terminal can use TNAN to transmit non-seamless offload traffic and/or establish one or more PDU sessions, Achieve core network access.
