Local network connection method, apparatus, and system

A local network connection apparatus, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions;
• and
• a processor in communication with the computer readable medium, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
• receive a location area identity from an access node, location area identity indicating a location area in which a user equipment is currently located;
• obtaining local network subscription information of the user equipment, the local network subscription information indicating a subscribed local network of the user equipment;
• determine at least one local network identity based on the location area identity and based on the local network subscription information, and send the at least one local network identity to the user equipment;
• receive a connection establishment request sent by the user equipment, the connection establishment request carrying a first local network identity, wherein the first local network identity is within the at least one local network identity;
• and
• establish a connection between the user equipment and a first local network based on the first local network identity.

A local network connection system, the system comprising:

• a control plane node;
• an access node in communication with the control plane node, the access node configured to:
• send a location area identity to the control plane node upon receiving the access request from the user equipment, the location area identity indicating a location area in which the user equipment is located;
• the control plane node is configured to:
• receive the location area identity;
• obtain local network subscription information of the user equipment, the local network subscription information indicating a subscribed local network of the user equipment;
• determine at least one local network identity based on the location area identity and based on the local network subscription information;
• send the at least one local network identity to the user equipment;
• receive a connection establishment request from the user equipment, the connection establishment request carrying a first local network identity, wherein the first local network identity is within the at least one local network identity;
• and
• establish a connection between the user equipment and a first local network based on the first local network identity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• receiving a location area identity from an access node, wherein the location area identity is from the access node and indicates a location area in which a user equipment is located;
• obtaining local network subscription information of the user equipment, the local network subscription information indicates subscribed local network of the user equipment;
• determining at least one local network identity based on the location area identity and the local network subscription information, and sending the at least one local network identity to the user equipment;
• receiving a connection establishment request from the user equipment, wherein the connection establishment request carries a first local network identity, wherein the first local network identity is within the at least one local network identity;
• and
• establishing a connection between the user equipment and a first local network based on the first local network identity.
