Background

At present, a new generation of mobile communication system is deeply integrated into aspects of human life and social production to form a ubiquitous intelligent mobile network. The 6G (sixth generation mobile communication standard) communication network can realize global three-dimensional deep coverage, closely and seamlessly connect space, land and sea, and develop a body area network by taking people as a center to form multi-layer coverage with both breadth and depth. The 6G communication network also realizes an intelligent ubiquitous system of multi-network fusion and constructs a network space closely connected with the human society and the physical world.

The 6G system fully reflects the infrastructure attributes of the mobile communication network, forms a comprehensive mobile information network which mainly provides communication capacity and has other capacities such as intelligence, perception, calculation, safety and the like, provides more flexible and dynamic network services, and further realizes the internet of things service in wider fields by combining new technologies such as big data, cloud calculation, artificial intelligence, block chains and the like. The 6G also provides more adaptive network security guarantee, and provides more adaptive network security guarantee through an endogenous security mechanism, so that the credibility, manageability and controllability of the network are ensured.

In the related art, the computing power of the 6G network will evolve from an "end-cloud" architecture to an "end-network-cloud" cooperative architecture, and a multi-morphology stereo heterogeneous air-ground converged communication network composed of a space-based multi-layer sub-network (including high-orbit satellites, medium-low orbit satellites, air-facing platforms and the like) and a ground cellular multi-layer sub-network (including macro cells, micro cells, pico cells and the like) is adopted.

However, the existing subnet service (service) opening scheme is implemented based on the terminal device of the user, not only needs to occupy a large amount of core network resources, but also has high network delay, and cannot meet the requirement that the 6G network provides autonomous service opening based on the subnet for the user.

Among them, the 6G edge network (personal) 508, the 6G edge network (home) 510, the 6G edge network (mobile) 512, and the 6G edge network (business) 514 access a personal subnet (peripheral, body area network, personal area network … …), a home subnet (robot, monitor, smart home … …), a mobile subnet (airplane, automobile, high-speed rail, ship … …), and a business subnet (internal device, dedicated terminal, monitor … …), respectively.

The 6G subnet service opening node supports the autonomous opening and management of the user subnet;

a subnet data module of the 6G user database stores registration information of a user subnet, including edge gateway identification, user identity, service information and the like;

The 2.6G subnet service opening node 604 performs identity authentication on the edge gateway, such as short message authentication on a mobile phone of a user.

The 6.6G subnet service opening node 604 issues a configuration template to the 6G edge gateway 602, where the configuration template includes a subnet-associated user number, an edge gateway identifier, registration authentication information, an address of an attached and registered service node, and the like.

The 7.6G edge gateway 602 returns a configuration success response.

As shown in fig. 7, the autonomous cancellation procedure of the 6G edge gateway subnet service is as follows:

the 1.6G edge gateway (autonomous provisioning module) 702 requests the 6G subnet service provisioning node 704 to cancel the subnet service, and the request information includes a subnet-associated user number, an edge gateway identifier, and the like.

The 2.6G subnet service opening node 704 performs identity authentication for the edge gateway, such as short message authentication for the user's mobile phone.

3. After the authentication is passed, the system cancels the request and returns a successful response to the 6G edge gateway 702, and the response information contains the subnet associated user number.

4. And updating the subnet data module of the 6G user database 706, and deleting related information such as subnet associated user numbers, edge gateway identifiers and the like.

The subnet data module of the 5.6G subscriber database 706 returns an update success response.

As shown in fig. 8, the flow of accessing the subnet by the terminal is as follows:

the 1.6G edge gateway 804 completes pre-configuration of access authentication information based on a configuration template issued by the 6G subnet service opening node, wherein the pre-configuration access authentication information comprises a subnet associated user number, an edge gateway identifier, registration authentication information, an attached and registered service node address and the like.

The subnet module of the 2.6G terminal 802 configures access authentication information.

The subnet module of the 3.6G terminal 802 initiates an access request to the 6G edge gateway 804, and the request information includes access authentication information, terminal service capability, and the like.

The terminal access module of the 4.6G edge gateway 804 authenticates the terminal and allocates an access address (such as an IP address, an MAC address, etc.), and records the access address, the device identifier, and the service capability mapping table of the terminal.

5.6G edge gateway 804 returns an access success response.

As shown in fig. 9, the subnet traffic routing flow is as follows:

1. the subnet module of the first 6G terminal 902 initiates a service connection request to the edge gateway 904, and the request information includes an edge gateway identifier and a service type.

2. The edge gateway (service processing module) 904 receives the request and matches the service type and the service capability of the terminal, and selects the terminal according to the mapping table and the strategy.

3. The traffic processing module of the edge gateway 904 forwards the traffic connection request to the second 6G terminal 906.
