Description

Network validation parameter query method, equipment and computer readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for querying network validation parameters, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Background

Due to the explosive growth of internet services and the individual and diversified requirements of internet services, the mobile communication network is required to be flexibly adjusted according to the service requirements. Meanwhile, each network element in the mobile communication network has certain flexible scheduling and configuration capability. Therefore, the control capability and the perception information of each network element of the core network can be opened to the service platform to a certain degree through the capability opening platform, and a foundation is provided for a flexible and rich service mode.

The Service platform (AS) may directly invoke its control Capability to each network element of the core network of the mobile communication through a Capability openness Function (SCEF) or indirectly through a Service Capability Server (SCS) or extract some network sensing information.

In addition to the need for network configuration and monitoring capabilities, business service platforms also have a need for parameters that are configured to be effective in the network. For example, in a cellular internet of things scenario, in order to meet the requirement of Saving Power for part of terminals, a Power Saving Mode (PSM) is introduced. In this mode, the terminal determines the timing at which the terminal wakes up based on a combination of a plurality of timers. The terminal can receive and process the data information sent by the service platform only when the terminal is awakened.

The service platform needs to know the time of the timers configured and validated by the core network, and can communicate with the terminal at the time of awakening the terminal. Even though the service platform can configure the relevant timer event according to the service requirement by means of the event monitoring mechanism, there is still a dilemma that the terminal is in a dormant state, and the configuration information cannot be transmitted to the terminal and cannot be effective.

Therefore, a related mechanism and process need to be designed to provide the parameter information configured and taking effect at the network side to the service platform, so as to provide a basis for the service platform to complete subsequent decisions and operations.

Aiming at the defects in the existing capacity open architecture, the invention defines a set of network effective parameter query method. The Network validation parameter refers to each Network element (including 2G/3G Network elements, such as BSS (Base Station Subsystem), SGSN (Serving GSN ), GGSN (Gateway GSN, Gateway GSN), HLR (Home Location Register), 4G Network element eNB (evolved Node B), evolved Base Station), MME (Mobility Management Entity), HSS, PGW (PDN Gateway), SGW (Serving Gateway), PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function), SCEF, rcan (connectivity information Function), Radio Access Network Congestion sensing Function), df (Packet Flow Function, Packet Flow Description Function), 5G Network element (R) Radio Access Network (Access Network), Access Network (Access Network) Access (Access Network) Function, and Access Network (Access Network Access) Function, access and mobility Management functions), SMF (Session Management Function), UPF (User plane Function), PCF (Policy Control Function), AUSF (Authentication Server Function), UDM (Unified Data Management), NSSF (Network Slice Selection Function), etc.) configured and in force using parameters and configuration information. Wherein the network validation parameter query request is a one-time query and response mechanism.

In the following, the implementation method and the specific query process of the network validation parameter are described in conjunction with different embodiments.

As shown in fig. 4, in this embodiment, the network validation parameter query request multiplexes a Monitoring Event message, which embodies a query mechanism of the device-level parameters. The method comprises the following steps:

step 401, if the SCS/AS wants to query the valid device parameters on the NF (Network Function, Network element), the SCS/AS sends a Monitoring request message to the SCEF or NEF (Network Exposure Function), where the Monitoring request message carries the request type and the request parameters. Wherein the request Type (Monitoring Type) indicates that the Monitoring request is a network effective parameter query Type request message, which is used for querying the network effective parameter; the request parameters are parameters or parameter sets of the desired query.

Step 402, the SCEF determines whether the requested parameters requested by the SCS/AS are allowed to be queried according to the operator policy, and whether the SCS/AS is authorized to query the requested parameters. If the determination result is that the query is not allowed or the SCEF does not have the authority, the SCEF directly rejects the corresponding query request through a Monitoring Response (Monitoring Response) message of step 406. If the result is that the query is allowed and has rights, the SCEF determines the target network element. If the target network element is a certain core network element (referred to as a target core network element), the SCEF converts the requested parameter/parameter set into a query request for specific parameters of the core network element according to the operator policy, and then performs step 403. If the queried parameter is the configuration information or parameter of the SCEF, the SCEF directly feeds back the currently configured information/parameter of the SCEF to the SCS/AS through the Monitoring Response (Monitoring Response) message of step 406.

Step 403, the SCEF sends a Monitoring Request message to the target core network element (including MME/SGSN, HSS, PGW, SGW, PCRF, etc.) determined in step 402.

Step 404, after receiving the Monitoring Request, the target core network element queries a local configuration file according to the Request parameter/configuration information.

Step 405, the target core network element feeds back the parameter value/configuration value currently being executed by the network element to the SCEF through the Monitoring Response message according to the query result.

Step 406, the SCEF sends a Monitoring Response message to the SCS/AS to notify the queried result.

As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the network validation parameter query request multiplexes Monitoring Event message, which embodies the user-level parameter query mechanism, and includes the following processes:

step 501, if the SCS/AS wants to query the user-level parameters valid on the NF, the SCS/AS sends a Monitoring request message to the SCEF, where the Monitoring request message carries the request type, the user identifier, and the request parameters. Wherein the request Type (Monitoring Type) indicates that the Monitoring request is a network effective parameter query Type request message, which is used for querying the network effective parameter; the request parameter is a parameter or a parameter set required to be inquired; the Subscriber identity is unique identification information of the Subscriber (which may be MSISDN (Mobile Subscriber ISDN number), IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber identity), or other external identification).

Step 502, the SCEF determines whether the parameters requested by the SCS/AS are allowed to be queried and whether the SCS/AS is authorized to query the requested parameters according to the operator policy. If the determination result is that the query is not allowed or does not have the authority, the SCEF directly rejects the corresponding query request through the Monitoring Response (Monitoring Response) of step 508. If the result is that the query is allowed and the SCEF has rights, the SCEF determines the target network element. If the target network element is a core network element (referred to as a target core network element), the SCEF converts the requested parameter/parameter set into a query request for specific parameters of the core network element according to the operator policy, and then performs step 503. If the queried parameter is the configuration information or parameter of SCEF, the SCEF directly feeds back the currently configured information/parameter of SCEF to SCS/AS through Monitoring Response (Monitoring Response) message in step 508.

Step 503, if the SCEF does not know which NF the user requested by the SCS/AS belongs to currently, according to the user identifier, it queries to the HSS which NF is currently serving the user (e.g. MME/SGSN) through a Monitoring request message. If the SCEF knows which NF the subscriber requested by the SCS/AS is currently affiliated with, step 505 is executed.

Step 504, the HSS feeds back the target core network element serving the user to the SCEF through Monitoring Response according to the requested query message and the user identifier.

Step 505, the SCEF sends a Monitoring Request message to the target core network element (including MME/SGSN, HSS, PGW, SGW, PCRF, etc.).

Step 506, after receiving the request message, the target core network element queries a local configuration file according to the requested parameters/configuration information.

Step 507, the core network element feeds back the parameter value/configuration value currently being executed by the network element to the SCEF through the Monitoring Response message according to the query result.

Step 508, the SCEF sends a Monitoring Response message to the SCS/AS to notify the queried result.

As shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment, the network validation Parameter Query Request is a Parameter Query Request, which embodies a device-level Parameter Query mechanism, and includes the following processes:

step 601, if the SCS/AS wants to Query the valid device parameters on the NF, the SCS/AS sends a Parameter Query Request to the SCEF or NEF, where the Parameter Query Request carries the Request parameters. Where the request parameters are parameters or sets of parameters of the desired query.

Step 602, the SCEF determines whether the requested parameters requested by the SCS/AS are allowed to be queried according to the operator policy, and whether the SCS/AS is authorized to query the requested parameters. If the determination result is that the Query is not allowed or does not have the authority, the SCEF directly rejects the corresponding Query request through a Parameter Query Response (Parameter Query Response) of step 606. If the result is that the query is allowed and has rights, the SCEF determines the target network element. If the target network element is a core network element (referred to as a target core network element), the SCEF converts the requested parameter/parameter set into a query request for specific parameters of the core network element according to the operator policy, and then performs step 603. If the queried Parameter is the configuration information or Parameter of the SCEF, the SCEF directly feeds back the currently configured information/Parameter of the SCEF to the SCS/AS through the Parameter Query Response (Parameter Query Response) of step 606.

Step 603, the SCEF sends a Parameter Query Request message to the target core network element (including MME/SGSN, HSS, PGW, SGW, PCRF, etc.) determined in step 602.

Step 604, after receiving the Parameter Query Request, the target core network element queries a local configuration file according to the Request Parameter/configuration information.

Step 605, the target core network element feeds back the Parameter value/configuration value currently in effect execution of the network element to the SCEF through the Parameter Query Response message according to the Query result.

Step 606, the SCEF sends a Parameter Query Response message to the SCS/AS, and notifies the queried result.

As shown in fig. 7, in this embodiment, the network validation Parameter Query Request is a Parameter Query Request, which embodies a user-level Parameter Query mechanism, and includes the following processes:

step 701, if the SCS/AS wants to Query the user-level parameters valid on the NF, the SCS/AS sends a Parameter Query Request (message to the SCEF, which carries the user identifier and the Request parameters, where the Request parameters are the parameters or Parameter sets to be queried, and the user identifier is the unique identification information (which may be MSISDN, IMSI, or other external identifier) of the user.

Step 702, the SCEF determines whether the parameters requested by the SCS/AS are allowed to be queried and whether the SCS/AS is authorized to query the requested parameters according to the operator policy. If the determination result is that the Query is not allowed or does not have the authority, the SCEF directly rejects the corresponding Query request through the Parameter Query Response (Parameter Query Response) of step 708. If the result is that the query is allowed and has rights, the SCEF determines the target network element. If the target network element is a core network element (referred to as a target core network element), the SCEF converts the requested parameter/parameter set into a query request for specific parameters of the core network element according to the operator policy, and then performs step 703. If the queried Parameter is the configuration information or Parameter of the SCEF, the SCEF feeds back the currently configured information/Parameter of the SCEF to the SCS/AS directly through a Parameter Query Response (Parameter Query Response) message of step 708.

Step 703, if the SCEF does not know which NF the user requested by the SCS/AS is currently affiliated to, according to the user identifier, it queries to the HSS which device (e.g. MME/SGSN) the NF currently serving the user is through a Parameter Query Request message. If the SCEF knows which NF the subscriber requested by the SCS/AS is currently affiliated with, step 705 is performed.

Step 704, the HSS feeds back the target core network element serving the user to the SCEF through Parameter Query Response according to the requested Query message and the user identifier.

Step 705, the SCEF sends a Parameter Query Request (message to the target core network element (including MME/SGSN, HSS, PGW, SGW, PCRF, etc.).

Step 706, after receiving the request message, the target core network element queries a local configuration file according to the requested parameter/configuration information.

And 707, the core network element feeds back the currently executed Parameter value/configuration value of the network element to the SCEF through a Parameter Query Response message according to the Query result.

Step 708, the SCEF sends a Parameter Query Response message to the SCS/AS, and notifies the queried result.
