Abstract
An access network device obtains an identifier of a tag device, and determines a 3rd generation partnership project 3GPP network user identifier based on the identifier of the tag device. The access network device may further send a first message to an access and mobility management network element, where the first message includes the 3GPP network user identifier, and 3GPP network user identifier is for authenticating the tag device. The tag device may be an RFID tag, a UWB tag, a Bluetooth device, or the like.
Claims18
