For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

2, the registration process of the terminal in the fifth generation mobile communication (Fifth Generation Mobile Communication, 5G) includes the following steps:

In step 21, the terminal sends a registration request, which is associated with or corresponds to the unique identifier corresponding to the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card (for example, Subscription Permanent Identifier 1 (SUPI-1)).

Optionally, the registration request includes a Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (GUTI) saved by the terminal, and the registration request is routed to the newly selected first AMF, namely the new AMF (New AMF). The GUTI is a temporary identifier corresponding to the SUPI-1 assigned by the network.

Optionally, if the terminal does not save the GUTI, the terminal directly carries the SUPI or the Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) corresponding to the SUPI.

It should be understood that the user's unique identifier can uniquely represent a user. In order to prevent theft, it is rarely transmitted on the air interface. Usually, a temporary identifier GUTI is used instead of the unique identifier. The core network side will replace the temporary identifier with the unique identifier. Among them, the unique identifier can also be called a permanent identifier, which can be SUPI or International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). The permanent identifier can be written in the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, and the terminal obtains the permanent identifier by reading the SIM card.

In step 22, New AMF determines the second AMF that last provided services to the UE, namely the old AMF, based on the GUTI, and obtains the terminal context from the old AMF, which contains the SUPI-1 of the terminal.

Step 23, New AMF performs the terminal authentication process.

Step 24, New AMF registers with UDM to inform UDM that the AMF provides services for the terminal. New AMF includes SUPI-1 in the registration request.

Step 25, New AMF obtains the contract information corresponding to SUPI-1 from UDM.

Step 26, New AMF executes the Access and Mobility (AM) Policy Association Establishment/Modification process.

For example, PCF provides URSP (UE Route Selection Policy) information to AMF. URSP information is used by the terminal to decide how to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session.

Step 27, New AMF sends a registration acceptance message to UE to complete the registration process.

The URSP information can be sent in the Registration Accept message, or sent to the UE through the User Configuration Update (UCU) before or after the Registration Accept message.

The registration method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a registration method. As shown in FIG. 3 , the registration method includes:

Step 301: A terminal sends a registration request corresponding to a first identifier, where the first identifier is one of at least two unique identifiers associated with the terminal; the registration request includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal supports a target feature;

Step 302, the terminal receives a registration response message from the first network function;

Among them, the target characteristics include at least one of the following: dual steer; multiple steer; dual steer of the Mth generation mobile communication and the Nth generation mobile communication, M and N are both integers greater than 3, and M and N are different; dual connection; multiple connection; two SUPIs sharing one subscription profile; multiple SUPIs sharing one subscription profile.

In an embodiment of the present application, at least two unique identifiers associated with the terminal are stored in both the terminal and the network side device, and the at least two unique identifiers can be identified as the same terminal or the same contracted user in the network side device. The terminal can send a registration request for the saved first identifier, such as SUPI-1. The registration request can be routed to the newly selected first network function, which can be an AMF or a network element with the same function as the AMF. The first network function can determine the other network functions (such as the old AMF) that last provided services to the terminal based on the registration request, and request the context of the terminal from the other network functions, which includes the SUPI-1 of the terminal. Then the first network function can perform an authentication process on the terminal. After authentication, the first network function will register with the third network function, so that the third network function knows that the first network function provides services for the terminal, where the third network function can be understood as a UDM or a network element with a UDM function.

Optionally, the values of M and N can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in some embodiments, M is 4, N can be 5 or 6, etc., and M is 5, N can be 6 or 7, etc. That is, the dual transmission of the Mth generation mobile communication and the Nth generation mobile communication can include at least one of the following: dual transmission of the 4th generation mobile communication (4G) and the 5th generation mobile communication (5G); dual transmission of the 4th generation mobile communication and the 6th generation mobile communication (6G); dual transmission of the 5th generation mobile communication and the 6th generation mobile communication.

Optionally, the dual transmission mentioned above can be understood as transmitting service data through two 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) access networks, wherein each 3GPP access network corresponds to a session (such as a first session or a second session). For example, it includes selecting (steer) from two 3GPP access networks, switching (switch) between two 3GPP access networks, or using two 3GPP access networks for split transmission at the same time. The dual transmission of the Mth generation mobile communication and the Nth generation mobile communication can be understood as: transmitting service data through the 3GPP access network corresponding to the Mth generation mobile communication and the 3GPP access network corresponding to the Nth generation mobile communication, that is, the two 3GPP access networks are the 3GPP access network corresponding to the Mth generation mobile communication and the GPP access network corresponding to the Nth generation mobile communication, respectively.

Optionally, the above-mentioned multiple transmissions can be understood as transmitting service data through at least three 3GPP access networks; for example, including selecting (steer) from three 3GPP access networks, switching (switch) between three 3GPP access networks, or using at least two 3GPP access networks simultaneously for separate transmission.

Optionally, the dual connection can be understood as using two 3GPP access networks for data transmission, each 3GPP access network corresponds to a unique identifier, and the two 3GPP access networks can be used simultaneously or in a time-sharing manner. The multi-connection can be understood as using three 3GPP access networks for data transmission, each 3GPP access network corresponds to a unique identifier, and the three 3GPP access networks can be used simultaneously or in a time-sharing manner.

The above-mentioned single-contract dual-identification can be understood as one user corresponding to two unique identifiers (such as SUPI), that is, one user's subscription profile corresponds to two unique identifiers; the above-mentioned single-contract multiple-identification can be understood as one user corresponding to multiple unique identifiers, that is, one user's subscription profile corresponds to at least 3 unique identifiers.

Optionally, after the first network function completes the registration, a registration response message will be sent to the terminal to complete the registration process. The registration response message can be understood as a registration acceptance response message.

Optionally, a terminal can be understood as a contracted user, and the terminal being associated with at least two unique identifiers can be understood as a contracted user being associated with at least two unique identifiers. Since the first indication information is carried in the registration request to indicate that the terminal supports the target feature, the network side device can be informed that the terminal is associated with at least two unique identifiers, so as to assist the network side device in implementing the registration process of the terminal, and the network side device can better use the at least two unique identifiers to provide services for the terminal.

In an embodiment of the present application, a registration request corresponding to a first identifier is sent by a terminal, and the first identifier is one of at least two unique identifiers associated with the terminal; the registration request includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal supports a target feature; the terminal receives a registration response message from a first network function; wherein the target feature includes at least one of the following: dual transmission; multiple transmission; dual transmission of the Mth generation mobile communication and the Nth generation mobile communication, M and N are both integers greater than 3, and M and N are different; dual connection; multiple connection; single contract dual identification; single contract multiple identification. In this way, in an embodiment of the present application, the process of registering based on at least two unique identifiers associated with a contracted user is clarified, so that the network side device can better use at least two unique identifiers to provide services for the terminal.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the registration response message includes second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the network supports the target characteristic or indicates that the network does not support the target characteristic.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network supporting or not supporting the target characteristic can be understood as the first network function supporting or not supporting the target characteristic. Since the first network function sends the second indication information to the terminal, the terminal and the network side device can maintain consistent understanding of whether to use the target characteristic.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the method further comprises:

The terminal receives a terminal route selection policy (UE Route Selection Policy, URSP) sent by a second network function, and the terminal route selection policy is used to establish a session (such as a PDU session) associated with the target characteristic.

It should be noted that the session associated with the target feature can also be understood as the session corresponding to the target feature, that is, the session supports the target feature.

In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned second network function can be understood as PCF or a network element having the same function as PCF.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present application, after the first network function is registered with the third network function, the first network function can obtain target information from the third network function, and the target information includes a second identifier, and the second identifier includes a unique identifier other than the first identifier among the at least two unique identifiers. Further, the target information also includes at least one of the contract information associated with the first identifier and the session information of the second identifier. Among them, the contract information associated with the first identifier may include information on the contract target characteristics of the terminal, and the above-mentioned session information may include PDU session information or public data network (PDN) connection information.

It should be noted that the contract information associated with the first identifier can be understood as the contract information corresponding to the first identifier.

For example, a contracted user has two unique identifiers, namely the first identifier and the second identifier. When the terminal performs the registration process corresponding to the first identifier, the first network function provides the first identifier to the third network function. In addition to providing the contract information associated with the first identifier to the first network function, the third network function also sends the second identifier to the first network function, and optionally, the session information corresponding to the second identifier may also be sent. The session information may include a PDU session or a PDN connection.

Optionally, the first identifier is used for the UE to register in the 5G network, and the second identifier is used for the UE to register in the 4G network; or, the first identifier is used for the UE to register in the 6G network, and the second identifier is used for the UE to register in the 5G network; or, the first identifier is used for the UE to register in the 6G network, and the second identifier is used for the UE to register in the 4G network.

After the terminal obtains the target information, it can save the association relationship between the first identifier and the second identifier, so that services can be provided to the terminal through at least two unique identifiers. After that, the first network function can execute the AM Policy Association Establishment/Modification process, for example, the first network function provides the second network function with an indication that the terminal supports the target feature, and the second network function provides the first network function with a URSP rule (rule), which includes an indication corresponding to the target feature. Specifically, when the URSP is enhanced, the enhanced URSP can be used by the terminal to determine that a session that supports the target feature can be established. For example, when the target feature is dual steer, the terminal determines that a dual steer session can be established.

Among them, the enhanced URSP access type enhancements to the URSP route selection components (RSD) are as follows:

Access type preference: indicates the preferred access type (3GPP or non-3GPP or multi-access or first feature) when the terminal establishes a PDU session for a matching application.

Optionally, the URSP may be sent to the terminal through the UCU before or after sending the registration response message.

In order to better understand the present application, some examples are provided below for illustration.

Referring to Figure 4, the registration process includes:

Step 41: The terminal sends a registration request for the saved first identifier, such as SUPI-1, and the registration request includes the GUTI saved by the terminal. The request is routed to the newly selected AMF, i.e., new AMF.

The registration request includes first indication information that the terminal supports the target characteristic.

In step 42, New AMF determines the AMF that last provided services to the UE, that is, old AMF, based on the GUTI, and obtains the terminal context from the old AMF, which contains the SUPI-1 of the UE.

The GUTI is a temporary identifier corresponding to the SUPI-1 allocated by the old AMF. The new AMF can find the old AMF based on the GUTI, and the old AMF can determine the SUPI-1 based on the GUTI.

Step 43, New AMF performs authentication process on UE.

Step 44, New AMF registers with UDM to inform UDM that the AMF provides services for the UE. New AMF includes SUPI-1 in the registration request.

Step 45: New AMF obtains target information from UDM. The target information includes at least one of the following:

Second identification;

The PDN connection information corresponding to the second identifier may include, for example, an access point name (APN) and a PDN gateway (PWG) identifier (IDentify, ID); the contract information associated with the first identifier, wherein the contract information associated with the first identifier may include: information on terminal contract target characteristics.

It should be noted that PGW ID can be replaced with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of PGW or the IP address of PGW.

Optionally, the AMF saves the association relationship between the first identifier and the second identifier.

It should be understood that when a subscribed user (i.e., terminal) has multiple unique identifiers and one of them is the first identifier, UDM will also send the other unique identifiers to AMF. For example, a subscribed user has 2 unique identifiers, namely the first identifier and the second identifier. When the UE performs the registration process corresponding to the first identifier, AMF provides the first identifier to UDM. In addition to providing the subscription information associated with the first identifier to AMF, UDM also sends the second identifier to AMF, and optionally further sends the session information corresponding to the second identifier (for example, including PDU session information or PDN connection information).

Step 46, New AMF executes the AM Policy Association Establishment/Modification process.

For example, New AMF provides PCF with an indication that the terminal supports the target feature, and PCF provides New AMF with a URSP rule, which includes an indication corresponding to the target feature.

Specifically, when the URSP is enhanced, the enhanced URSP can be used by the terminal to determine that a session supporting the target feature can be established. For example, when the target feature is dual steer, the terminal determines that a dual steer session can be established.

Optionally, the URSP may be sent to the terminal through the UCU before or after sending the registration response message.

Step 47: New AMF sends a registration acceptance message to the terminal to complete the registration process.
