Abstract
This application discloses a method for controlling user equipment to access a network. After receiving a request packet sent by a gateway control plane device, a control device obtains, by parsing the request packet, a home identifier corresponding to first user equipment. The control device determines, based on the home identifier, a corresponding first target gateway user plane device when the first user equipment goes online, so that a plurality of user equipments corresponding to a same home identifier all go online through the first target gateway user plane device.
Claims21
A control device, comprising:
- one or more memories configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to execute the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions causes the control device to:
- obtain a home identifier corresponding to first user equipment and identifying a home;
- determine a first target gateway user plane device based on the home identifier;
- and
- send configuration information to a steering device, wherein the configuration information comprises an identifier of the first target gateway user plane device, and the configuration information indicates to the steering device to configure user information of the first user equipment on an interface of the steering device, the interface corresponding to the first target gateway user plane device, the steering device being different and separate from the first target gateway user plane device.
A communication system, comprising:
- a control device;
- a first gateway user plane device;
- and
- a steering device;
- wherein the control device is configured to:
- obtain a home identifier corresponding to first user equipment and identifying a home;
- determine a first target gateway user plane device based on the home identifier;
- and
- send configuration information to the steering device, wherein the configuration information comprises an identifier of the first target gateway user plane device;
- and
- wherein the steering device is configured to:
- receive the configuration information;
- and
- configure user information of the first user equipment on an interface of the steering device, the interface corresponding to the first target gateway user plane device, the steering device being different and separate from the first target gateway user plane device.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a control device, a home identifier corresponding to first user equipment and identifying a home;
- determining, by the control device, a first target gateway user plane device based on the home identifier;
- and
- sending, by the control device, configuration information to a steering device, wherein the configuration information comprises an identifier of the first target gateway user plane device, and the configuration information indicates to the steering device to configure user information of the first user equipment on an interface of the steering device, the interface corresponding to the first target gateway user plane device, the steering device being different and separate from the first target gateway user plane device.
