The following describes in detail a non-public network access method provided in the embodiments of this application by using some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Step 201: A terminal obtains first information.
The first information includes at least one of the following:
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal may obtain the first information from a non-3GPP access network or from a home network of the terminal. For example, user Equipment (UE) obtains first information broadcast by the non-3GPP access network.
For example, the non-3GPP access network may be a wireless local area network (WLAN) access network. The non-public network may be a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN).
It should be noted that the content of the first information can be indicated in an implicit manner. For example, when the WLAN access network does not broadcast any one of the foregoing first information, it means that an SNPN connected to the WLAN access network does not support a function indicated by this item, or that it is uncertain whether the SNPN connected to the WLAN access network supports a function indicated by this item. For example, the WLAN does not broadcast first information of emergency call, indicating that an SNPN connected does not support emergency call. The WLAN does not broadcast first information of access mode, indicating that it is uncertain whether the SNPN connected uses trusted, untrusted, or NSWO access, or indicating that UE can select an access mode according to its own capability or local configuration.
In addition, the first information may correspond to one non-public network to which a non-3GPP access network can be connected, or to all non-public networks to which the non-3GPP access network can be connected.
In this embodiment of this application, the identification information of the non-public network includes at least one of the following: an ID of the non-public network, such as an SNPN ID;
Optionally, in the case that the connection indication information indicates that the non-3GPP access network cannot connect to the non-public network, the terminal may access the non-public network through a non-3GPP access gateway.
It should be noted that in a case that the connection indication information indicates that the non-3GPP access network can connect to the non-public network, the non-public network can alternatively be accessed through the non-3GPP access gateway.
Step 202: The terminal accesses a non-public network in a non-3rd generation partnership project 3GPP access mode based on the first information.
Here, access to the non-public network in a non-3GPP mode includes accessing the non-public network through a non-3GPP access network, or establishing a connection to a non-3GPP access gateway through a non-3GPP access network and then accessing the non-public network through the non-3GPP access gateway.
For example, based on the first information, the terminal can select a non-3GPP access network able to connect to the non-public network supporting online subscription, and access the non-public network based on the selected non-3GPP access network.
It should be noted that the non-3GPP access gateway includes: a non-3GPP access gateway that can be connected through the non-3GPP access network, or a non-3GPP access gateway of a non-public access network that can be connected through the non-3GPP access network, or an access gateway of a non-public network that can be connected through the non-3GPP access network in a non-3GPP mode.
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal obtains the first information, where the first information indicates access information for accessing a non-public network through a non-3GPP access network; and based on the first information, can obtain related information about whether the non-3GPP access network is able to access the non-public network and about a non-public network to which the non-3GPP access network is able to connect, so as to select an appropriate non-3GPP access network or a non-3GPP access gateway to access the non-public network. In this way, when the terminal moves out of the coverage of the 3GPP access network or the 3GPP access network is congested, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, and can continue a service originally accessed from a 3GPP network, thus maintaining service continuity. In addition, when a bandwidth provided by the 3GPP access network is insufficient, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, which can expand a bandwidth obtained by the terminal and support service experience of terminal users.
Optionally, the accessing, by the terminal, a non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode based on the first information includes:
Optionally, the accessing, by the terminal, the non-public network through the non-3GPP access network or a non-3GPP access gateway based on the first information includes:
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal may sequentially select a non-public network with a highest priority based on priority information of non-public networks, and selects an appropriate non-3GPP access network to access the non-public network based on the selected non-public network and access information.
Optionally, the accessing, by the terminal, the non-public network through the non-3GPP access gateway based on the first information and the priority information includes:
In this embodiment of this application, the UE preferentially selects a non-3GPP access network that can be directly connected to the non-public network. If no such WLAN is selected, the non-public network is accessed through an access gateway of a non-3GPP access network.
Optionally, the accessing, by the terminal, the non-public network through the non-3GPP access network based on the first information and the priority information includes:
The second non-public network may be specifically a non-public network with a highest priority determined based on the priority information.
For example, when the number of first non-3GPP access networks able to connect to the second non-public network is one, the non-public network is accessed through the first non-3GPP access network. When the number of first non-3GPP access networks able to connect to the second non-public network is greater than or equal to two, one target non-3GPP access network can be selected from the at least two first non-3GPP access networks, and the non-public network may be accessed through the selected target non-3GPP access network.
In this embodiment of this application, UE that needs to perform an emergency call service selects preferentially a non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to a non-public network supporting emergency call, to access the non-public network.
Based on this, in a first optional implementation, the selecting, by the terminal based on the first information, at least one first non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to the second non-public network includes:
In this implementation, the UE first determines one priority non-public network (that is, the second non-public network). For example, the UE can select the priority non-public network based on a priority list of non-public networks or in a random selection manner. Then, based on a broadcast parameter of the non-3GPP access network (such as identification information of non-public networks that can be connected), the UE determines a non-3GPP access network supporting to connect to the priority non-public network. Then, based on the broadcast parameter of the non-3GPP access network, the UE determines whether the non-public network supports emergency call (for example, “emergency call indication” is broadcast). If the priority non-public network supports emergency call, at least one first non-3GPP access network able to connect to the priority public network is selected; otherwise, a priority non-public network is reselected based on the priority list or in a random selection manner, the above steps are repeated to select at least one first non-3GPP access network able to connect to the second non-public network, and finally the second non-public network is accessed through the at least one first non-3GPP access network.
In a second optional implementation, the obtaining, by the terminal, identification information of a second non-public network based on the priority information includes:
In this implementation, the UE first determines the non-public network (that is, the third non-public network mentioned above) supporting emergency call that can be connected currently. For example, the UE makes determining based on a broadcast parameter (for example, “emergency call indication” is broadcast) of the WLAN. Then, one priority non-public network (that is, the second public network) is selected from the determined non-public networks supporting emergency call based on the priority information or a random selection manner. Then, the terminal selects, based on the first information, at least one first non-3GPP access network able to connect to the second non-public network, and finally accesses the second non-public network through the at least one first non-3GPP access network.
Optionally, the accessing the non-public network through the at least one first non-3GPP access network includes:
For example, a first non-3GPP access network with a strongest signal strength is selected as the target non-3GPP access network, or a first non-3GPP access network with a highest priority is selected as the target non-3GPP access network.
Optionally, the priority information indicates priorities of the following types of non-public networks:
Specifically, a priority of the home non-public network of the terminal is higher than a priority of the non-public network in the user-controlled non-public network list, and the priority of the non-public network in the user-controlled non-public network list is higher than a priority of the non-public network in the CH-controlled prioritized list of group IDs for network selection GINs.
In a specific embodiment of this application, the terminal may select, based on the priority of the non-public network, a non-3GPP access network able to connect to a high-priority non-public network. For example, UE capable of supporting a trusted non-3GPP access mode preferentially selects a non-3GPP access network that is able to directly connect to a non-public network, that is, a non-3GPP access network that supports connecting to a non-public network in a trusted manner. If there is no non-3GPP access network that is able to directly connect to the non-public network, the terminal may select a non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to the non-public network in the user-controlled non-public network list; and if there is no non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to the non-public network in the user-controlled non-public network list, the terminal may select a non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to the non-public network in the CH-controlled non-public network list.
In addition, the priority information can alternatively be set according to a requirement of the terminal. Optionally, the terminal may need to select a non-3GPP access network able to connect to a non-public network supporting online subscription. For example, UE without any SNPN subscription needs to select such a non-3GPP access network for access; or UE already having SNPN or CH subscription wants to obtain subscription of other SNPNs through online subscription and then a non-public network that supports online subscription is preferentially selected based on the priority information. For another example, UE that needs to perform an emergency call service selects preferentially a non-3GPP access network that is able to connect to a non-public network supporting emergency call.
For example, based on the broadcast parameter of the WLAN (for example, broadcast “online subscription indication” is broadcast), the UE determines WLANs able to connect to an SNPN supporting online subscription, and then selects a WLAN from the WLANs for access. The UE may choose to a WLAN connecting to a priority SNPN. For example, the UE can select the priority SNPN based on the SNPN priority list or in a random selection manner. If a plurality of WLANs can be connected to the priority SNPN supporting the online subscription function, the UE can further select, based on air interface parameters of the WLANs, a WLAN for access. For example, the UE evaluates channel quality of the WLANs and selects a WLAN with good channel quality for access. How the UE further selects the WLAN is not specifically limited in this embodiment of this application.
Optionally, the accessing, by the terminal, the non-public network through a non-3GPP access gateway based on the first information includes:
For example, the UE is configured with online subscription-supporting non-public network selection information. The online subscription-supporting non-public network selection information includes the identification information of SNPNs. The identification information of SNPNs may include at least one of the following: SNPN ID, PLMN ID of SNPN, NID of SNPN, and GIN.
Specifically, a non-3GPP access network is selected for access, and IP address 1 is obtained. The UE constructs a domain name of a non-3GPP access gateway based on the identification information of the non-public networks in the online subscription-supporting non-public network selection information, and establishes a connection to the non-3GPP access gateway corresponding to the domain name. For example, the UE establishes a secure connection to the non-3GPP access gateway using the IP address 1 obtained in the WLAN.
For example, the domain name of the non-3GPP access gateway may be one of the following:
The MNC and MCC domains come from a PLMN ID of the non-public network.
In this embodiment of this application, the non-3GPP access gateway may be a non-3GPP interworking function (N3IWF).
Optionally, the UE selects a WLAN network that supports an untrusted mode, and then establishes a connection to a selected non-3GPP access gateway through the WLAN network.
Optionally, before the constructing, by the terminal, a domain name of a non-3GPP access gateway based on identification information of a non-public network in online subscription-supporting non-public network selection information, the following is further included:
Optionally, that the second non-3GPP access network is able to connect to a non-public network supporting online subscription includes:
In a specific embodiment of this application, the UE preferentially selects a non-3GPP access network that can be directly connected to the non-public network. If no such non-3GPP access network is selected, a non-3GPP access gateway is selected; or the UE preferentially selects a trusted non-3GPP access network able to connect to a non-public network that supports online subscription. If no such non-3GPP access network is selected, a non-3GPP access gateway is selected again.
In this embodiment of this application, after selecting a non-3GPP access network, the UE accesses the selected non-3GPP access network. The UE can access the non-3GPP access network according to a mode of accessing the non-3GPP access network. For example, the non-3GPP access network access information indicates that the non-3GPP access network supports trusted access, and then the UE accesses a 5G System (5GS) from the non-3GPP access network in a trusted mode. If the non-3GPP access network access information indicates that the non-3GPP access network supports NSWO, the UE accesses the non-3GPP access network and does not perform a 5GS access procedure, for example, does not perform a procedure of registration to 5GS.
In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, “connected to” includes “directly connected to” and “indirectly connected to”. “Connected to” can alternatively be replaced by “directly connected to” or “indirectly connected to” for use.
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal obtains the first information, where the first information indicates access information for accessing a non-public network through a non-3GPP access network; and based on the first information, can obtain related information about whether the non-3GPP access network is able to access the non-public network and about a non-public network to which the non-3GPP access network is able to connect, so as to select an appropriate non-3GPP access network or a non-3GPP access gateway to access the non-public network. In this way, when the terminal moves out of the coverage of the 3GPP access network or the 3GPP access network is congested, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, and can continue a service originally accessed from a 3GPP network, thus maintaining service continuity. In addition, when a bandwidth provided by the 3GPP access network is insufficient, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, which can expand a bandwidth obtained by the terminal and support service experience of terminal users.
For the non-public network access method provided in the embodiments of this application, the execution body may be a non-public network access apparatus. In the embodiments of this application, the non-public network access method being performed by the non-public network access apparatus is used as an example to describe the non-public network access apparatus provided in the embodiments of this application.

In this way, when the terminal moves out of the coverage of the 3GPP access network or the 3GPP access network is congested, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, and can continue a service originally accessed from a 3GPP network, thus maintaining service continuity. In addition, when a bandwidth provided by the 3GPP access network is insufficient, the terminal accesses the non-public network in a non-3GPP access mode, which can expand a bandwidth obtained by the terminal and support service experience of terminal users.
