The configuration of the core network involves a large number of planning parameters, and a user needs to fill a large number of planning parameters, which results in low efficiency of the configuration of the core network. For example, a fifth generation (5) of 10 nodes is configuredthgeneration, 5G) core network related tableThe entries may exceed 3000 entries.
In view of this, a method for configuring a 5G core network provided in an embodiment of the present application may be executed by a terminal device, please refer to fig. 1, and an application scenario of the method is described below. The application scenario includes a plurality of end devices 110 and a orchestration and management platform 120.

S202, acquiring a second attribution relation of the plurality of network elements in the network element topological structure relative to the network slice, and generating a slice topological structure corresponding to the second attribution relation.
And S203, generating a core network logic view according to the slice topological structure.
The following describes a general idea of a method for configuring a 5G core network in the embodiment of the present application.
In this embodiment, the terminal device 110 obtains an attribution relationship among at least one data unit, a network element, and a network slice, generates a slice topology structure according to the corresponding attribution relationship, and generates a visual core network logic view according to the slice topology structure. Compared with the mode of generating the core network by filling the table by the user in the prior art, the embodiment of the application does not need the user to fill a large table and configure a large number of planning parameters, and the efficiency of configuring the 5G core network is improved.
After the general idea of the embodiments of the present application is described, embodiments of each step are described below.
In a possible embodiment, before the terminal device 110 executes S201, the terminal device 110 needs to obtain at least one data unit, and a manner of obtaining the first affiliation of the at least one data unit with respect to the network element is described below.
The first method is as follows:
the terminal device 110 determines at least one data unit selected by the user in response to a selection operation of the user for the data unit in the pre-stored template database.
Specifically, the terminal device 110 may pre-store a template database, a plurality of data units may be stored in the template database, a user may select a corresponding data unit from the template database, and the terminal device 110 determines at least one data unit selected by the user according to the selection of the user. The data elements in the template database may be preconfigured. The data unit can refer to the content discussed above and will not be described in detail here. The data units in the template database may include unique identifications of the data units, network functions implemented by the data units, and the like.
For example, a data unit included in a template database is shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
The number corresponding to each function in table 1 may indicate the number of services corresponding to the function, and the greater the number of services, the more powerful a certain function implemented by the data unit is. Table 1 it can be seen that the data unit 1 is capable of implementing an interface processing function, a signaling processing function and a service processing function. The data unit 2 is capable of performing interface processing functions and signalling processing functions but is not capable of performing service processing functions.
In the first mode, the user only needs to select the corresponding data unit from the pre-stored data units, so that the user operation is simplified, and the efficiency of configuring the 5G core network is improved.
The second method comprises the following steps:
a plurality of data unit structures are pre-stored in the terminal device 110, and a data unit structure may be understood as a data item required for generating a corresponding data unit, and the terminal device 110 may generate at least one data unit according to a parameter value input by a user for each data item. The data unit can refer to the content discussed above and will not be described in detail here.
In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 110 prestores the corresponding data unit structure, and the user only needs to configure the corresponding parameter value in the corresponding data unit structure, and does not need to perform excessive operations, and can also meet the personalized requirements of the user.
After acquiring the at least one data unit, the terminal device 110 executes S201, acquires a first attribution relationship of the at least one data unit with respect to the network element, and generates a network element topology structure corresponding to the first attribution relationship. The manner in which S201 is executed will be described below. Wherein the first attribution relation may be understood as which data units each network element is composed of. A network element may be composed of one data unit or may be composed of a plurality of data units. The network element topology can refer to the content discussed above, and is not described here.
Specifically, there may be many ways for the user to configure the first affiliation between the at least one data unit and each network element, for example, the terminal device 110 displays the at least one data unit, the user connects the at least one data unit with each network element, and the terminal device 110 determines the first affiliation configured by the user after acquiring the connection information input by the user. For example, the terminal device 110 displays at least one data unit, the user selects the data unit and the network element, and the terminal device 110 determines the first attribution relationship configured by the user according to the selection information input by the user. The circled selection can be understood as that the user visually defines the required data units and network elements according to the requirement of configuring the core network.
After determining the first attribution relationship, the terminal device 110 analyzes the relationship between each data unit and the network element, and connects at least one data unit and the associated network element through a pseudo wire to generate a network element topology structure corresponding to the first attribution relationship.
For example, referring to fig. 3, after the terminal device 110 displays a plurality of data units (for example, data unit 1 to data unit 7 in fig. 3) and a plurality of network elements (for example, network element 1 to network element 5 in fig. 3), and after the plurality of data units are displayed, a user can connect the data unit 1 to the network element 1, and after the terminal device 110 operates according to the connection line, the data unit 1 and the network element 1 are connected through the pseudo wire 310, and so on, the network element topology 320 in fig. 3 is generated.
After generating the corresponding network element topology structure, S202 is executed to obtain a second attribution relationship of the plurality of network elements in the network element topology structure with respect to the network slice, and generate a slice topology structure corresponding to the second attribution relationship. Wherein the second attribution relation indicates which network elements the network slice is composed of, and a network slice may include one or more network elements. The slice topology can refer to the foregoing discussion and is not described in detail herein.
Specifically, after the network element topology structure is generated, after the terminal device 110 obtains a plurality of network elements, the user may configure a second attribution relationship between the plurality of network elements and the network slice, and the terminal device 110 connects at least one data unit and a corresponding network element through a pseudo wire according to the second attribution relationship to generate the network element topology structure corresponding to the second attribution relationship.
After generating the network element topology, the terminal device 110 executes S203 to generate a core network logical view according to the slice topology. The core network logic view may refer to the content discussed above, and is not described herein again.
Specifically, after obtaining the slice topology, the terminal device 110 obtains at least one data unit, a plurality of network elements, and a network slice, and a logical relationship between the three. Different graphic elements and network elements associated with the graphic elements are prestored in the terminal device 110. Terminal device 110 may invoke the graphical elements associated with each network element to replace the corresponding network elements with the graphical elements to generate the core network logical view. The network elements include data units, network elements, and network slices. A graphical element may be understood as a figure representing a different network element.
For example, after obtaining the slice topology, the terminal device 110 invokes the corresponding graphic element to generate the core network logical view 401 as in fig. 4. The logical view of the core network 401 in fig. 4 includes a plurality of network elements, and a plurality of network slices. The plurality of networks include a session Management Function/user Plane Management Function (SMF/UPF), a network element Data Repository Function (NF replication Function, NRF), an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), and a Policy Control Function/Unified Data Management Function (PCF/UDM). Network slices include Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications slices (urlccs), independent network elements, and the like.
In a possible embodiment, after generating the core network logical view, the terminal device 110 may modify a parameter in a network element in the core network logical view, and after obtaining the modified parameter value, the terminal device 110 may update the core network logical view according to the modified parameter value.
For example, referring to fig. 5, a user may click on a session management function/user plane management function SMF/UPF network element in the core network logical view 401, the terminal device 110 displays parameters of the SMF/UPF network element (for example, the number of various data units constituting the SMF/UPF network element in fig. 5), and the user may modify the parameters of the SMF/UPF network element. The terminal device 110 may obtain an updated core network logic view according to the modified parameter value.
In a possible embodiment, after generating the core network logic view, the user may want to compare with other reference core network data, and if the user exports the core network logic view, the data comparison is obviously troublesome, so in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 110 may compare and analyze two core network logic views, and display a difference between the two core network logic views, so that the user can intuitively compare the difference between the two core network logic views.
Specifically, the user may import the reference core network data into the terminal device 110, where the reference core network data may be downloaded from the network by the user, or may export the core network data obtained from the core network logic view configured by the user before. After acquiring the core network data, the terminal device 110 invokes a graphic element associated with a network element corresponding to the reference virtualized core network data to generate a reference core network logic view. The graphic elements and the network elements can refer to the foregoing discussion, and are not described in detail here.
After the terminal device 110 generates the reference core network logic view, the reference core network logic view and the core network logic view may be parsed, and data of different network elements in the reference core network logic view and the core network logic view may be displayed. The data of different network elements comprises different network elements and different parameter values of the same network element.
In order to make the user more intuitively see the data of the different network elements in the reference core network logical view and the core network logical view, the terminal device 110 may display the data of the different network elements in a preset manner. The preset mode is, for example, to bold the data of the different network elements or to display the data of the different network elements in different colors.
Certainly, the user may also directly import two sets of core network data in any preset format, and the terminal device 110 may generate two core network logic views according to the two sets of core network data, and compare and display the difference between the two sets of core network logic views. The core network data may be understood as a data packet corresponding to the core network logical view. There are many ways to compare the differences between the two logical views of the core network, such as thickening the differences or distinguishing them by color.
For example, a user imports first core network data corresponding to the core network logic view 1 and second core network data of the core network logic view 2, and the terminal device 110 may generate two core network logic views as shown in fig. 6 according to the first core network data and the second core network data. For ease of viewing by the user, the terminal device 110 highlights the difference between the two logical views of the core network in fig. 6.
In a possible embodiment, after generating the core network logic view, the terminal device 110 may parse the core network logic view, store the data corresponding to the network elements in the core network logic view in the template database, and the user may select the corresponding network elements from the template database next time. Of course, the terminal device 110 may also store the core network logic view in the template database, and the core network logic view may be directly called by the user when the user uses the core network logic view next time.
Further, the core network logic views configured by the users of the terminal devices 110 are different, and the users can share the configured core network logic views with the terminal devices 110 of other users through the terminal devices 110.
