The first embodiment of the invention relates to a searching method of a network function network element, which is applied to a source NRF network element, wherein the source NRF network element receives a query request of a target NF network element sent by a source network function NF network element, the query request comprises area information of an area where the target NF network element is located, and then the target NRF network element is searched according to the area information, wherein the target NRF network element is used for managing the NF network element in the area where the target NF network element is located, and finally the source NRF network element acquires the information of the target NF network element through the target NRF network element and sends the information of the target NF network element to the source NF network element. The following describes implementation details of the method for searching for a network functional network element in this embodiment in a specific manner, and the following description is only provided for facilitating understanding of the implementation details and is not necessary for implementing this embodiment.
In this embodiment, there are many NF network elements and NRF network elements, where the NF network element may register an identification code on the NRF network element that manages an area where the NF network element is located, and the identification code may carry area information of the NF network element, and in addition, the NRF network element may configure addresses of other NRF network elements. If the NF network element sends the query request of another NF network element, the NF network element that sent the query request may be used as a source NF network element, another NF network element may be used as a target NF network element, an NRF network element that manages the NF network element of the area where the target NF network element is located may be used as a target NRF network element, and an NRF network element that searches for the target NRF network element according to the query request may be used as a source NRF network element.
A specific flow of the method for searching a network functional network element in this embodiment is shown in fig. 1, and includes:
step 101, receiving a query request of a target NF network element sent by a source NF network element.
In one example, the query request includes zone information of a zone in which the target NF network element is located. As shown in fig. 2, the network element relationship diagram includes a Session Management Function (SMF) network element 201, a Bootstrapping Service Function (BSF) network element 202, a Jiangsu province NRF network element 203, and a Guangxi province NRF network element 204, where the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203 manages NF network elements in an area where the SMF network element 201 is located, and the Guangxi province NRF network element 204 manages NF network elements in an area where the BSF network element 202 is located. Assuming that the SMF network element 201 sends the query request of the BSF network element 202 to the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province, the SMF network element 201 may serve as a source NF network element, the BSF network element 202 may serve as a target NF network element, and the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province and the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province may serve as the source NRF network element and the target NRF network element, respectively. Before the SMF network element 201 sends the query request of the BSF network element 202, the BSF network element 202 may register on the NRF network element 204 in cantonese province, where the registered information may include a service type supported by the BSF network element 202, an identification code of the BSF network element 202, and the like, and the SMF network element 201 may store a correspondence between the area information and an address of the NRF network element in advance, or obtain the correspondence from an external device. Assuming that the SMF network element 201 sends an inquiry request of the BSF network element 202 to inquire about information of the BSF network element 202, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province, which is used for managing the SMF network element 201, receives the inquiry request, where the inquiry request includes area information of an area where the BSF network element 202 is located, such as: the province of Guangxi in south China is not limited herein. The area information may be included in the identification code, or may be set separately from the identification code, which is not limited herein. It is assumed that the zone information of the target NF network element is contained in the identification code, such as: the identifier of the BSF network element 202 carried in the query request includes the area information of the BSF network element 202, and the specific manner may be: the BSF network element 202 generates an identification code containing the area information according to a predetermined rule, and may set a correspondence between the area information and the code in the rule, for example: the corresponding code in south china is 0x05, and the corresponding code in Guangxi province is 40, so that the corresponding code in Jiangsu province in north china can be represented as 0540 in the identification code of the BSF network element 202, and the identification code of the SMF network element 201 is similar, and is not described herein again; in addition, the position of the region information in the identification code may also be formulated in a rule, such as: the third byte and the fourth byte of the identification code are provided with area information, which is not limited herein. It should be noted that the regional information in the example includes a region and a province, and may be accurate to a city level, a county level, and the like in practical applications. Of course, the identification code of the target NF network element may also contain other information besides the zone information, such as: the type of the target NF, the serial number of the target NF network element, and the like, the target NF network element may also generate an identification code including the type of the target NF and the serial number of the target NF network element according to a predefined rule, and accordingly, a corresponding relationship between the type of the target NF and the code, and a corresponding relationship between the serial number of the target NF network element and the code may be formulated in the rule, which is not described herein again. Wherein, the code corresponding to the BSF network element 202 is 10. Assuming that the type of the identifier of the BSF network element 202 is a universal unique identifier, the identifier of the BSF network element 202 includes area information of the BSF network element 202, the type of the BSF network element 202, and a serial number of the BSF network element 202, and the area information is southern china, Guangxi province, and the serial number is 3, then the identifier of the BSF network element 202 may be represented as: 4947a691a-f61b-4bc 1-0505840000003. similarly, the identification code of the SMF network element 201 can be expressed as: 4947a691a-f61b-4bc 1-100380000001.
It should be noted that, in the above example, the target NRF network element is found through the first-stage NRF network element, and in practical application, the target NRF network element is found by using the NRF network elements of more stages and is supposed to be within the protection range.
And step 102, searching a target NRF network element according to the area information.
The target NRF network element is used for managing the NF network element in the area where the target NF network element is located.
In one example, the source NRF network element searches for an address of a target NRF network element corresponding to the area information by using a correspondence between the area information stored in advance and the address of the NRF network element, such as: the SMF network element 201 stores the correspondence between the area information and the address of the NRF network element in advance, and assuming that the area information of the BSF network element 202 is represented as 0540 and the address of the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province is 2.2.2.2, the correspondence between the area information and the address of the NRF network element stored in advance by the SMF network element 201 may include: 0540 corresponds to 2.2.2.2. As shown in fig. 2, taking the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province as an example of a source NRF network element, after receiving the query request, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province may first determine whether the BSF network element 202 manages itself, and the determination method may be: judging whether the target NF network element is managed by the target NF network element according to the area information of the target NF network element, such as: the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province obtains the area where the BSF network element 202 is located by analyzing the area information of the BSF network element 202, and judges whether the area is in the self management area; the method for the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province to determine whether the BSF network element 202 manages itself may also be: the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province compares the identification code carried in the query request with the identification code of the NF network element managed by itself, and if the same identification code exists, it may be determined that the BSF network element 202 is managed by itself, and if the same identification code does not exist, it may be determined that the BSF network element 202 is not managed by itself. If the BSF network element 202 is managed by itself, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province can be used as a target NRF network element to acquire information of the BSF network element 202; if the BSF network element 202 is not managed by the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province may search the address 2.2.2.2 of the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province corresponding to the area information 0540 of the BSF network element 202 by using the correspondence between the area information and the address of the NRF network element stored in advance, thereby forwarding the query request to the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province. It should be noted that the correspondence between the area information and the address of the NRF network element may be in the source NRF network element, or may be stored in the external device, and the source NRF network element obtains the correspondence from the external device and uses the correspondence, which is not limited herein.
And 103, acquiring the information of the target NF network element through the target NRF network element, and sending the information of the target NF network element to the source NF network element.
In an example, after receiving the query request sent by the NRF network element 203 in the province of Jiangsu province, the NRF network element 204 in the Guangxi province may determine, according to the pre-registered identification information of the NF network element, the BSF network element 202 corresponding to the identification code carried in the query request, and further obtain the information of the BSF network element 202. Taking the NRF network element 203 in the province of Jiangsu as an example of a source NRF network element, the NRF network element 204 in the province of Guangxi will send the information of the BSF network element 202 to the NRF network element 203 in the province of Jiangsu, and then the NRF network element 203 in the province of Jiangsu will send the information of the BSF network element 202 to the SMF network element 201.
In this embodiment, the source NRF network element may obtain the area information of the area where the target NF network element is located according to the query request of the target NF network element, and find the target NRF network element according to the area information, that is, the source NRF network element only needs to configure the corresponding relationship between the area information of the NF network element and the address of the NRF network element.
The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for searching network elements with network functions, which is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and mainly has the following differences: the present embodiment searches for a target NRF network element through two levels of NRF network elements.
Regarding step 101, a query request of a target NF network element sent by a source NF network element is received.
In one example, as shown in the network element relationship diagram shown in fig. 3, the shanghai province NRF network element 301 serves as a source NRF network element, and the shanghai province NRF network element 301 may receive a query request through the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203. Specifically, after receiving the query request, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province may first determine whether the BSF network element 202 is managed by itself, which is described in the first embodiment of the determination method and is not described herein again; if the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province manages the BSF network element 202, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province may acquire the information of the BSF network element 202 as a target NRF network element; if the BSF network element 202 is not managed by the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203, the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203 forwards the query request to the Shanghai province NRF network element 301.
With respect to step 102, the target NRF network element is found according to the area information.
In an example, after the shanghai province NRF network element 301 receives the query request sent by the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203, the address 2.2.2.2 of the Guangxi province NRF network element 204 corresponding to the area information 0540 of the BSF network element 202 may be searched by using a correspondence between the area information and the NRF network element address stored in advance, so that the query request is forwarded to the Guangxi province NRF network element 204.
In step 103, the information of the target NF network element is obtained through the target NRF network element, and the information of the target NF network element is sent to the source NF network element.
In an example, after receiving the query request sent by the shanghai province NRF network element 301, the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province may determine, according to the pre-registered identification information of the NF network element, a BSF network element corresponding to an identification code carried in the query request, and further obtain information of the BSF network element, and send the information method of the BSF network element to the shanghai province NRF network element 301, where the information may be sent by the shanghai province NRF network element 301 to the SMF network element 201 through the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203.
The embodiment can find the target NRF network element through the two levels of NRF network elements, and return the information of the target NF network element to the source NF network element through the two levels of NRF network elements.

The following describes the implementation details of the data processing method of the present embodiment in detail, and the following is only provided for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for implementing the present embodiment.
In this embodiment, the source NF network element is located in an area managed by an NRF network element and has already registered with the NRF network element, and the registration process of the source NF network element includes: and the source NF network element generates an identification code of the source NF network element and sends a registration request carrying the identification code to the NRF network element, wherein the identification code comprises the regional information of the source NF network element. A specific flow of the method for searching for a network functional network element in this embodiment is shown in fig. 4, and includes:
step 401, sending the query request of the target NF network element to the source NRF network element.
And the query request comprises the area information of the area where the target NF network element is located, and the source NRF network element searches the target NRF network element according to the area information.
In one example, the SMF network element 201 sends an inquiry request of the BSF network element 202 to the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province, where the inquiry request includes area information of an area where the BSF network element 202 is located. Of course, the area information may be represented in the identifier of the BSF network element 202 carried in the query request, and the specific representation manner may refer to the correspondence between the area information and the code in the first embodiment, which is not described herein again.
In one example, the SMF network element 201 may also send the query request of the BSF network element 202 to the shanghai province NRF network element 301 through the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203.
Step 402, receiving information of a target NF network element sent by a source NRF network element.
In one example, the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province obtains the information of the BSF network element 202 from the NRF network element 204 in Guangxi province, and sends the information of the BSF network element 202 to the SMF network element 201. For the SMF network element 201, the SMF network element 201 receives information of the BSF network element 202 sent by the NRF network element 203 in Jiangsu province.
In one example, the SMF network element 201 receives the information of the BSF network element 202 transmitted by the shanghai province NRF network element 301 through the Jiangsu province NRF network element 203.
