  • Patent number: 11290876
    Abstract: Provided are a key derivation method and device. The method includes: acquiring a slice identifier corresponding to a network slice to which a user equipment is currently attached, where the slice identifier uniquely identifies the network slice; and transmitting the slice identifier to a designated communication device. The slice identifier is configured to instruct the designated communication device to derive, according to the slice identifier, an intermediate key required by the network slice. By means of the technical solution described above, the problem in the related art that a slice function cannot be implemented normally due to the fact that different network slices probably use the same intermediate key may be solved, and different network slices may correspond to different intermediate keys, thereby avoiding a case that the slicing function cannot be implemented normally caused by allocating the same intermediate key to different network slices.

  • Patent number: 9769722
    Abstract: Disclosed are an information processing method of a multimode terminal, a multimode terminal and an access network device, wherein, a multimode terminal negotiates with an HRPD access network to determine to close a session keep-alive message initiated by the HRPD access network, the HRPD access network does not transmit a session keep-alive request message to said terminal after said terminal is switched to an LTE network from an HRPD network; and/or after negotiating to determine to close a session keep-alive message initiated by said terminal, said terminal does not transmit a session keep-alive request message to the HRPD network after being switched to the LTE network from the HRPD network. Said terminal acquires a dedicated priority of the HRPD and/or the LTE network from the HRPD access network, and performs network reselection in an idle state according to the dedicated priority when meeting an enabled condition of the dedicated priority.
