Abstract
The present disclosure provides a location service entity selection method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, and relates to the technical field of communications. The method includes: acquiring service capability information of a candidate location service entity from a preset storage space according to location requirement information of a user equipment (UE), and determining a target location service entity according to the service capability information of the candidate location service entity.
Claims17
A method for selecting a location service entity, comprising:
- acquiring service capability information of a candidate location service entity from a preset storage space according to location requirement information of a user equipment (UE);
- and
- determining a target location service entity according to the service capability information of the candidate location service entity,
- wherein the location service entity comprises a Location Management Function entity (LMF) and/or a Gateway Mobile Location Center entity (GMLC);
- and the service capability information of the candidate location service entity comprises service area information of the candidate location service entity and/or service network information of the candidate location service entity, and the location requirement information of the UE comprises access location information of the UE and/or access network information of the UE,
- wherein the preset storage space comprises a remote storage space comprising a storage space set in a Unified Data Management entity (UDM);
- and acquiring the service capability information of the candidate location service entity from the preset storage space according to the location requirement information of the UE comprises:
- sending a location-service-entity subscription data acquisition request to the UDM;
- wherein the location-service-entity subscription data acquisition request comprises the location requirement information of the UE;
- and receiving a location-service-entity subscription data feedback message returned by the UDM;
- wherein the location-service-entity subscription data feedback message comprises the service capability information of the candidate location service entity, the service capability information of the candidate location service entity is information determined by the UDM according to the location requirement information of the UE and service capability information of a first location service entity, and the service capability information of the first location service entity is pre-stored in the storage space in the UDM,
- or,
- wherein the preset storage space comprises a remote storage space comprising a storage space set in a Network Function Repository Function entity (NRF);
- and acquiring the service capability information of the candidate location service entity from the preset storage space according to the location requirement information of the UE comprises:
- sending a location-service-entity discovery request to the NRF;
- wherein the location-service-entity discovery request comprises the location requirement information of the UE;
- and receiving a location-service-entity discovery feedback message returned by the NRF;
- wherein the location-service-entity discovery feedback message comprises the service capability information of the candidate location service entity, the service capability information of the candidate location service entity is information determined by the NRF according to the location requirement information of the UE and service capability information of a second location service entity, and the service capability information of the second location service entity is pre-stored in the storage space in the NRF.
