For the creation of NSI, generally created at present by Network Management System/network slice management system, creation side Formula is one is being created according to networking requirements and Internet resources, the structure and network characteristic of planned network slice.In order to So that creation process it is more convenient, one kind be considered feasible mode be generate each NSI one by one by human-edited's mode, or Person generates the template of corresponding NSI to be adapted to different classes of NSI, when creating NSI, as long as passing through by way of human-edited Artificial selection can quickly carry out the creation of NSI to the template according to the template, i.e., for a kind of more similar NSI, then Can create one can common model, and different NSI only need by the different parameter setting of the model i.e. produce Different NSI enables to the creation process of NSI more convenient.This is that the application is implemented by the way of common model The NST of example, can be generated different NSI with the same characteristics according to a NST, these NSI functionally can be substantially It is identical, but being not quite similar due to respective network characteristic, it is applicable in different network scenarios.

Currently, being directed to this class model of NST or template, the mode of default is to be generated using manual type, or pass through people Work selects, and lacks management, the process for using of an automation, and the NST is at present there is no unified definition, therefore one NST specifically needs specifically how to use comprising which content and the NST, is managed by which kind of entity in network, which kind of entity Also do not illustrate accordingly to use.In this regard, the embodiment of the present application provides a kind of processing method of network slice template, management is set Standby and storage equipment solves the treatment process of NST, includes how process that a NSI is generated using NST, how to NST into Row management etc..

The framework that the embodiment of the present application handles NST sees Fig. 1, and Fig. 1 is the network slice of the embodiment of the present application The configuration diagram of the processing method of template.Wherein, including demand or the first management entity 101 of NSI and right is used The second management entity 102 that NSI is managed.Specifically, first management entity 101 can be used a variety of different NSI's Entity, second instance can be for managing NSI and supporting the management entity of some NST.For example, the first management entity 101 can be traffic guidance functional entity (communication service management function, CSMF), and the second management entity 102 then can be network slice management function entity (network slice management Function, abbreviation NSMF).Wherein, which, which is mainly responsible for, turns the communication service demand of operator and/or third party client The demand to network (slice) is turned to, and the interface passed through between this kind of entity for managing NSI of NSMF is sent to NSMF Demand (such as creation NSI request, termination NSI request, modification NSI request) to network slice, obtains network from NSMF and cuts The management data (such as performance, fault data) of piece generate the management number for running on the communication service on network slice example According to receiving operator and/or third party client needs the subscription for the management data that network is sliced management data and/or communication service It asks.And NSMF is mainly responsible for the network slice demand that CSMF is sent that receives, to the network slice life cycle of example, performance, Failure etc. is managed and (below referred to as manages life cycle, performance, fault management), and layout network is sliced the composition of example, Decomposition network is sliced the demand that the demand of example is sliced subnet example and/or network function for each network, sends net to each NSSMF Network is sliced the request of subnet instance management.

It is said in addition, carrying out example for a network slice, due to that can be made of NSSI and network function, in life It when at NSI, needs to decompose the demand of NSI, obtains NSSI needed for generating the NSI, then, NSSI will be generated, and The generation of NSI is completed by the combination of NSSI afterwards.Specifically, referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the network slice template of the embodiment of the present application Processing method configuration diagram, which is different from for framework shown in FIG. 1, increase a third management entity 103, The third management entity 103 is mainly used for managing NSSI, it supports to generate NSSI according to some NSST.For example, third pipe Reason entity 103 can be network slice subnet management function (network slice subnet management function, Abbreviation NSSMF), at this point, the NSSMF is mainly responsible for the network slice subnet demand that NSMF is sent that receives, subnet is sliced to network Example is managed, and layout network is sliced the composition of subnet example, and the demand that decomposition network is sliced subnet example is each network function The demand of energy and/or nested networks slice subnet example may send nested networks to other NSSMF and be sliced subnet instance management Request.

Although the life cycle of NSI and NSSI are each in addition, it should be noted that, NSI can be made of multiple NSSI From independent, that is, terminate a NSI and not equal to having to one NSSI of termination, but there is managerial by NSI and NSSI Association, such as one NSI of creation may need to create new NSSI, and modifying a NSI may need to modify a NSSI.

Embodiment 1

The processing method of the network slice template of the embodiment of the present application using above-mentioned framework is illustrated below, please be join Fig. 3 is read, Fig. 3 is one embodiment figure of the processing method of the network slice template of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in figure 3, the party It include the first management entity and the second management entity, this method in method can include:

301, the first management entity sends the first acquisition request to the second management entity.

Wherein, for the acquisition request for obtaining the first NST information, which is in the first management entity needs Issued in the case where request creation NSI, since second management entity is the entity for being able to carry out NSI management, to this Two entities, which send the first acquisition request, can be obtained corresponding first NST information.Wherein, the first NST information may include at least The subset of all information of each NST in one the first NST.

It should be noted that the step 301 is only so that the second management entity executes one kind of step 302 and step 303 Mode, the second management entity can also decide when execute step 302 in its sole discretion, such as after completing networking during initialization It voluntarily executes step 302 and step 303 and specifically whether executes this that is, according to the different and different of actual usage scenario Step 301 is not construed as limiting.

302, the second management entity generates the first NST information according to default management strategy.

It wherein, include the subset of all information of each NST at least one the first NST in the first NST information, for For one NST, it includes all information may refer to the content that the NST of the embodiment of the present application illustrates.The whole of one NST The subset of information can be the partial information in all information, be also possible to all information, specifically can be according to the second management The difference of the strategy of physical implementation is without identical.

The first NST information is generated according to default management strategy to the second management entity in the embodiment of the present application below to say It is bright.In the embodiment of the present application, the second management entity is directed to the NST and the second management entity that the second management entity can be got The NST that can be obtained from itself storage from other entities or network or directly, these NST are the second management entity energy The NST enough supported.For this kind of NST, the second management entity can set corresponding opening imformation, which means to be directed to The NST can be to other such as the degree of opening of the information of the NST of the first management entity.For example, a NST may include 6 kinds Information, respectively information 1, information 2, information 3, information 4, information 5 and information 6.For example including three kinds, the first is opened opening imformation Put information corresponding informance 1 and information 2；Second of opening imformation corresponding informance 1, information 2, information 3 and information 5；The third is opened Information includes information 1, information 2, information 5 and information 6.As can be seen that different opening imformations can for a NST Correspond to the different subsets of all 6 kinds of information of a NST.For example, the default management strategy of the second management entity is according to one Kind opening imformation is opened, that is, under this situation, what each NST in the first NST information was included is only information 1 and letter Breath 2.Certainly, the second management entity can also carry out the opening of information according to other opening imformations.Opening imformation can also refer to Show that the information of the NST does not allow all, or is also possible to all allow to open.

For example, portion is formed with the mark of the NST for being included of the NST in the embodiment of the present application, the type of NSI, NSI Divide, for the connection relationship between the component part of NSI, the characteristic of NSI and NSI life cycle relevant information.The whole of NST The subset of information can be one of following a variety of situations:

(1) NST mark and NSI type.

(2) NSSI that NST mark, NSI type and NSI include.

(3) connection relationship between the NSSI and NSSI that NST mark, NSI type and NSI include.

(4) characteristic of the connection between NSSI, NSSI that NST mark, NSI type, NSI include and NSI.

(5) connection, the characteristic of NSI and the life of NSI between NSSI, NSSI that NST mark, NSI type, NSI include Order cycle management procedure information.

It should be noted that above situation is not all situations in the application, a variety of letters that the NST in the application includes Corresponding opening imformation can be set as needed to open the different piece in all information in breath, and details are not described herein again.In addition, the Two management entities can also set fixed open information to NST, i.e., support the NST rises just to have fixed to set in the second management entity It sets.

Optionally, for the first management entity, each first management entity can have corresponding grade, type and mark Among at least one parameter, the opening imformation can also with these parameters at least one of corresponded to.First management is real The grade of body can be level according to the network at its specific place and in a network to determine, naturally it is also possible to be by second Management entity is come the grade that determines；The type of first management entity then especially possessed by function determine；For the first management The mark of entity is the mark in the second management entity with unique corresponding relation, so that the second management entity can basis This is identified as the first different management entities and sets different opening imformations.In this case, the second management entity is generating the Before one NST information, the corresponding opening imformation of the first management entity can be also determined, specifically, before step 302, This method may also include that

Second management entity is according at least one first management of determination among the grade, type and mark of the first management entity The opening imformation of entity.

At this point, step 302 is concretely, the opening imformation of the first network slice template determines that the first network is cut The subset for all information that piece template is included.

303, the second management entity sends the first NST information to the first management entity.

Wherein, the second management entity will send it to the after generating the first NST information according to default management strategy One management entity.

304, the first management entity sends the first request to create to the second management entity according to the first NST information.

Wherein, first request to create is for creating NSI.It is different according to content included in the first NST information, first Management entity sends the first different requests to create.

Optionally, the subset of all information in the first NST information comprising at least one the first NST, i.e., the second management Entity provides the information of multiple NST to the first management entity；At this point, the step 304 can include:

First management entity determines that target NST, target NST are the from the first NST for including in the first NST information One in multiple NST that two management entities provide.

First management entity sends the mark in the first request to create comprising target NST to the second management entity.Thus the Two management entities just can find corresponding network according to the mark of target NST and cut after receiving first request to create Piece template creates NSI.

Optionally, some adjustable parameters and corresponding adjustable parameter range be there may also be in the information for being included by NST, These adjustable parameters can be determined its value by the first management entity, at this point, the information of the first NST in the first NST information is just It will include adjustable parameter and adjustable parameter range.In the case, step 304 specifically can be first from the first NST information Target NST is determined in the first NST for including；

Then, the first management entity determines target NST according to the adjustable parameter and corresponding adjustable parameter range of target NST Adjustable parameter parameter value；

Finally when generating the first request to create, the parameter value of the adjustable parameter is also carried and is sent out in the first request to create Give the second management entity.To which the second management entity just can create for the first management entity according to these parameter values The more NSI of meet demand.Promote the creation efficiency of NSI.

It should be noted that if the first management entity of parameter value of these adjustable parameters, without setting, the second management is real Body will carry out the creation of NSI according to default value.

For example, these adjustable parameters can following parameter at least one of.

(1) parameter: mobility support (support mobility), the i.e. network are sliced service provided by example can Support mobile speed；Attribute: settable；Default: 0km/h；Adjustable range: 500km/h, 100km/h, 20km/h, 0km/ h。

(2) parameter: connection number/number of users of support；Attribute: settable；Default: N；Adjustable range: N~2N, N are positive Integer.

(3) parameter: service interval from；Attribute: settable；Default: non-isolated；Adjustable range: whether isolation or not.

(4) parameter: security level；Attribute: settable；Default: rank 1；Adjustable range: 1~M, M are integer.

(5) parameter: NSI total bandwidth；Attribute: settable；Default: x；Adjustable range: x~y Mbps, x and y are positive Number.

(6) parameter: service-level agreement (service level agreement, abbreviation SLA) or service level demand The method that (service level requirement, abbreviation SLR) decomposes each NSSI, by taking time delay as an example；Attribute: it can set It sets；Default: wireless access network (radio access network, abbreviation RAN) partially accounts for 50% plus core net (Core Network, abbreviation CN) partially account for 50%.Adjustable range: RAN, which accounts for 20~80%, CN and accounts for 20~80%, CN, adds the RAN to be 100%.

Optionally, above-mentioned adjustable parameter can also be the adjustable parameter in life cycle management parameter, at this point, the first NST It can also include these life cycle management parameters and corresponding adjustable parameter range in information.It is Life Cycle in adjustable parameter When adjustable parameter in period management parameter, the first management entity after receiving the first NST information, the operation of progress and it is above-mentioned can Adjust the operation of parameter similar, details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the adjustable parameter in the life cycle management parameter can be with above-mentioned adjustable parameter together first Including in NST information only can also include above-mentioned adjustable parameter in the first NST, and not include in life cycle management parameter Adjustable parameter, also or only comprising the adjustable parameter in life cycle management parameter, and do not include above-mentioned adjustable parameter.

It should be noted that the life cycle management parameter is some be related to of corresponding NSI in the process of running The action parameter of one movement, wherein first movement can be the movement generated the NSI duration, such as create, activate, Modification, performance monitoring, failure monitoring, de-activated and termination medium motion, and these the first movements are corresponded in the embodiment of the present application Action parameter may include following situations: the first, if support first movement；Second, first acts and other movements Between execute sequence；The third, the specific execution time of the first movement, this, which specifically executes the time, can be this first is held At the time of capable duration or first action triggers；4th kind, which can also be dynamic for triggering first The parameter of work, i.e. the first movement of triggering when parameter reaches parameter preset threshold value.So that the management to NSI refine to the NSI's Each movement of life cycle so that the first management entity can under the premise of knowing the life cycle management parameter, The parameter value of some life cycle management parameters can be carried in request to create, so that the NSI generated can more correspond to the The demand of one management entity.

Wherein, the action parameter of the creation, activation, modification, cancellation of NSI, de-activated and termination movement can be corresponding Time, these times can be with sets itself, and modifying parameter can also include (to the scalable appearance of NSI, increase or deleting in NSI NSSI or NF, or be the operation such as topology for modifying NSI).For example, reaching for supporting scalable appearance can be in capacity After corresponding threshold value T, scalable appearance can be carried out, which can be with sets itself, which can then indicate that capacity reaches if maximum size value To after threshold value T, dilatation operation can be carried out, the T is if lower bound of capacity value, then after can indicating that capacity reaches threshold value T, carries out Reduce volume operation.Monitoring period etc. can be set for the movement of performance monitoring and failure monitoring.As can be seen that Life Cycle The setting of the parameter of period management can make each movement that the life cycle of the NSI is refine to the management of NSI, so that the One management entity can create under the premise of knowing the life cycle management parameter and more meet the first management entity demand NSI。

It should be noted that in step 304, though the first request to create that the first management entity is sent to the second management entity It is so that the first management entity generates, but the target NST for including in the first request to create, and the adjustable ginseng that may also contain Several parameter values is not necessarily to be determined by the first management entity, but what the first management entity was obtained from other NSI users；Tool Body, the acquisition process of target NST and the parameter value can be, and be sent out first from the first management entity to other NSI users After giving the first NST information, then the NSI user reads the content in the first NST information, and determines target NST or mesh After marking NST and parameter value, target NST or target NST and parameter value are fed back into the first management entity.

For example, by taking NSI user is to want the tenant of purchase NSI as an example, a tenant such as virtual operator should Tenant wishes to rent from operator to a logical network, i.e. NSI, may include the first management reality in the management system of the operator Body；Specific process can be, and the tenant notifies to need to rent a logical network, then, operator to operator first First NST information can be supplied to the tenant after getting the first NST information by the first management entity, which can be from Corresponding target NST is selected according to target requirement in the multiple NST for including in first NST information, meanwhile, if the first NST When further including the adjusting range of adjustable parameter and adjustable parameter in information, the parameter of adjustable parameter can also be determined by tenant Value；Then, which can be sent to selected target NST or target NST and parameter value the first management entity, the first management Entity can generate the first request to create according to target NST or target NST and parameter value in turn, and be sent to the second management The creation of entity progress NSI.
