Methods.

Starting from the third-generation 3G mobile communication system, the indoor home base station (Home NodeB) was introduced to enhance indoor signal coverage, and the fourth-generation 4G mobile communication system was further enhanced to Home eNodeB. Due to the higher frequency band used by 5G, The penetration loss is higher, and the indoor coverage effect is worse under the same conditions. At present, 5G is also studying indoor enhancement solutions. One of them is to use the deployed broadband to connect to the small base station or AP deployed indoors. Enhance indoor coverage. The small base station or AP may have complete base station functions, or may only have partial base station functions, may be connected to the 3GPP core network, or may inherit some core network functions. When the small cells or APs are only used for data offload and are not connected to the 3GPP core network, the cooperation and management of multiple small cells or APs is a problem.

The current wireless high-fidelity Wi-Fi can overcome the mobility management problem to a certain extent through the wireless mesh network Mesh networking. Each Wi-Fi AP in the Mesh network uses a unified Service Set Identifier (SSID) and password to ensure that users can access the Wi-Fi APs in each Mesh group, and through the link metric collection between the UE and the AP and the client adjustment instructions, to instruct the user to reconnect to a more suitable Wi-Fi AP when needed. on the Wi-Fi AP.

The disadvantage of the current Wi-Fi Mesh networking is that SSID + password is used for access control. There is no authorized user management scheme adopted by 3GPP, such as closed user group CSG, closed access group CAG, etc., and indoor small cells or APs Configurations related to Wi-Fi APs are also quite different and cannot be reused directly.

In response to the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for updating authorization information, which will be described in detail below.
