Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Currently, in the 3rd Generation partnership Project (3 GPP) protocol standard of the international mobile communication standards organization, NEF is a core network element for implementing the opening of network capabilities of the fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation, 5G), and the main function of NEF is to implement the opening of network capabilities and network events.
In the 5G core Network, each Network element may issue functions and events to an Application Function (AF) or other Network Functions (NF) through the NEF, and the NEF opens Network capabilities to the AF call through a general Application programming interface API.
Specifically, in the 3GPP protocol, the network capabilities opened by the NEF include four types: network monitoring capabilities, network configuration capabilities, data transmission capabilities, session management capabilities.
Wherein the network monitoring capability comprises: monitoring network events such as User Equipment (UE) accessibility, UE position and position change, communication failure, connection failure and the like; the network configuration capabilities include: terminal capabilities, mobility, speed, service characteristics, etc.; the data transmission capability includes: background data transmission, application triggering function, equipment triggering function and the like; session management capabilities include: non-network Protocol (IP) data transmission, charging, and Quality of Service (Qos) of a session.
The network capability opening includes not only the network capability related to terminal, service and session control, but also the network capability related to service processing, and the network capability opened by the NEF at present mainly includes the capabilities of managing terminal and connection characteristics, transmitting small data packets, supporting networking services, and the like, and does not include the network capability related to service processing.
In order to realize the opening of the capabilities, the network capability opening platform needs to support the deployment of service function entities related to service plane processing, can be deployed in a core area or an edge area of a network according to the needs of services, and can distribute service messages to the service function entities. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a new method and a device for opening network capacity, and the network capacity of service processing and the capacity related to service control are fused by using an edge computing platform, so that the opening of the network capacity is realized.
It is to be understood that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the following description are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor order.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an open method for network capability according to an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 1, the method includes:
s101: a service request message for an application is received. Specifically, the service request message may carry identification information of the network capability to be invoked by the application.
S102: and according to the service request message, calling the network capability corresponding to the identification information of the network capability from the set of the network capability.
The network capability set comprises a first network capability and a second network capability, wherein the first network capability is used for representing that a network exposed functional entity NEF supports an open network capability, and the second network capability is used for representing that an edge computing open platform supports the open network capability (including configuration management of a distribution rule, Domain Name System (DNS) rule configuration management, service registration and management and the like).
In the embodiment of the present application, since the network capabilities include multiple network capabilities, in a possible implementation manner, one identification information may be marked for each network capability, and the network capability to be invoked is correspondingly searched in the network capability set according to the identification information of the network capability carried in the service request message of the application.
For convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, "NEF supports an open network capability" may be denoted as "a first network capability," and "an edge computing open platform supports an open network capability" may be denoted as "a second network capability.
The NEF supports the opening of the opened network capacity and the opening of the related capacity of session and service control, and the edge computing opening platform supports the opening of the related capacity of service processing, so that the NEF and the edge computing opening platform can be combined to realize the mutual calling of the network capacity of service processing and service control and improve the flexibility of the opening of the network capacity.
S103: the called network capabilities are opened to the application using the application programming interface API.
The above process will be described in detail below:
in 3GPP, NEF may be implemented by Common API architecture (CAPIF), as shown in fig. 2. In fig. 2, the NEF network element function modules with open 5G network capability may be divided into: CAPIF core functionality, API open functionality, API publish functionality, and API manage functionality.
Wherein, CAPIF core function mainly accomplishes: the service API manages related functions, including functions of issuing, storing, discovering and service API security aspects, including authorization, authentication, monitoring, logging and the like; the API opening function is used for calling a service communication entry point of a service API and executing various opened services; the API issuing function issues service API information of an API provider to a CAPIF core function; the API management function performs management of the service API, including auditing service API call logs received from the CAPIF core function, monitoring events reported by the CAPIF core function, monitoring the status of the service API, and the like.
In FIG. 2, the NEF network element can provide two types of interfaces, CAPIF-1/CAPIF-1e and CAPIF-2/CAPIF-2e, for the outside.
CAPIF-1e and CAPID-2e are directed to API users outside the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to increase the authentication and authorization of calls. The main functions performed by the CAPIF-1 interface include: authentication and authorization of an API caller and service API discovery, the CAPIF-2 interface mainly completes the calling process of the service API.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating that an edge computing platform implements network capability opening according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the edge computing platform in fig. 3 is responsible for providing functions of discovery, publishing and using of a mobile edge application, configuration management of an application or a service receiving traffic rule, configuration and management of a DNS record, and the like, and includes at least four interfaces of MP1, MP2, MM5, and MM7 to the outside.
The main functions completed by the MP1 interface include service registration, service discovery, application availability, traffic rules, and Domain Name System (DNS) rule activation, among others; the MP2 interface is a service data interface of the mobile edge platform and the data plane; the MM5 interface performs mobile edge platform management, including functions such as platform configuration, rule configuration, and lifecycle management of application services; the MM7 interface supports resource management for VIM (Virtual infrastructure management, VIM).
Specifically, the edge computing guides the terminal service to the corresponding application for processing according to the distribution rule or the configuration of the DNS, and the edge computing platform supports the deployment and the release of the service related to the service plane, and opens the service processing capability and the service function deployment capability through the MP1 interface.
Referring to fig. 4, the network capability in fig. 4 includes a control plane network capability opened by a NEF and also includes a service plane related capability in edge computing, as shown in fig. 4, which is a NEF provided by an embodiment of the present application and used for merging edge computing platforms into the NEF with opened network capability.
Unlike fig. 2, fig. 4 fuses the network capabilities of the business planes supported by the edge computing platform. Since the function implemented by the Service registration module (Service registration) in fig. 3 may be included in the core function of the CAPIF, the Service registration function in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented by the core function of the CAPIF in fig. 4, so that when the network capability is opened, a separate Service registration module is not needed to implement, and the network capability related to the Service plane and the network capability provided by the NEF are deployed together and opened to the AF as the network capability, thereby implementing opening of all the network capabilities.
In one possible design, the NEF calls the first network capability through the first interface, the edge computing open platform calls the second network capability through the second interface, and the first interface is multiplexed with the second interface.
It should be noted that, the above mentioned "first interface" may be understood as CAPIF-1/1e and CAPID-2/2e in fig. 2, and the "second interface" may be understood as MP1 interface in fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present application, during the fusion process, network capabilities may be fused, and interfaces may also be fused, that is, the CAPIF-1/1e interface in fig. 2 and the MP1 interface in fig. 3 are fused, and the CAPID-2/2e interface in fig. 2 and the MP1 interface in fig. 3 are fused.
In the interface aspect, the application function AF may interact with the CAPIF core function through a CAPIF-1/CAPIF-1e interface, query an open network service, obtain authorization of the service, and the like. The CAPIF-1/CAPIF-1e interface can simultaneously support MP1 interface messages and formats, and by supporting the MP1 interface format, the existing application developed for edge computing can be smoothly deployed on a capability open platform realized based on the invention.
And the application function AF calls and accesses the network capability through the CAPIF-2/CAP-2e interface to complete the calling process of the service API. The interface supports access of the MP1 to the streaming rules and DNS rule capabilities, including: traffic rule activation/deactivation/update, and DNS rule activation/deactivation.
Further, the NEF supports open network capabilities including at least the following network capabilities: network monitoring capabilities, network configuration capabilities, session management capabilities, data transfer capabilities.
The edge capability open platform supports open network capabilities at least comprising the following network capabilities: the method comprises the steps of distribution rule configuration management capability, domain name system DNS configuration management capability and service processing function deployment capability.
Specifically, in fig. 4, the CAPIF core function performs a service API management related function and a service API security function. Wherein, the service API management related functions comprise: publishing, storing and discovering the API; the functions of the service API security aspects include: authorization, authentication, monitoring, logging, etc.
The network capability includes both the control plane network capability opened in the NEF: network monitoring capability (monitoring network events such as UE accessibility, UE location and location change, communication failure, connection failure, etc.), data transmission capability (transmission of background data, application trigger function, device trigger function, etc.), network configuration capability (terminal capability, mobility, speed, service characteristics, etc.), session management capability (non-IP data transmission, charging, session Qos, etc.), etc.; the capability of service face correlation in edge calculation is also included: distribution rule configuration management, DNS rule configuration management and the like.
Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, third-party services related to service and control, such as a location service, a service resolution service, a service optimization service, and the like, may also be deployed. These services can be part of 5G network capabilities, with continued increase in the deployment of services, continually expanding the available network capabilities.
Since the control plane related network capability is related to the terminal and the network status, it is usually deployed in the core area together with the control plane network element. If the edge application directly uses the network capabilities through the CAPIF1/1e/2/2e of the core capability open platform, but does not access through the edge network capability open platform, the edge capability platform cannot perform operations such as authorization, authentication, monitoring, logging and the like on the capability access, and cannot establish a relevant capability access policy, so that the edge application uses the core network capabilities and needs to perform through the edge capability platform.
It is to be understood that the core capability open platform may be understood as an open platform supporting control plane related network capabilities.
In a possible implementation manner, in order to implement access of an edge service to a network capability, in this embodiment of the application, an interface may be added between a network capability open platform deployed at an edge and a network capability open platform deployed in a core area, so as to implement distributed deployment of the network capability open platform, that is, a network capability of the core area is opened to an edge application through the added interface.
As shown in fig. 5, which is a schematic diagram of an edge deployment method with open network capability provided in an embodiment of the present application, in fig. 5, the offloading of edge traffic is implemented by a User Plane Function (UPF). When an application is deployed in an edge area, the application may also need control plane capability, and since the control plane capability is generally deployed in a core area and is not deployed in the edge, an interface between the edge and the core is required, and the edge traffic acquires the control plane capability through the interface.
Preferably, the method further comprises:
receiving a service request message of an edge application, wherein the service request message can carry identification information of network capacity to be called by the edge application; if the distributed position information is the core distribution position of the network, the network capability is called from the core distribution position through the third interface, and the network capability is opened to the edge application.
And the position information used for representing the application distribution by the edge application is the edge distribution position of the network.
It should be noted that the third interface may be understood as the NEFx interface in fig. 5.
By way of example in fig. 5, assuming that the edge application needs service control capability (i.e. network capability supported by the core capability openness platform), the edge application may invoke the needed network capability from the core capability openness platform through the NEFx interface and use the network capability through the edge capability openness platform, i.e. implement network capability invocation between the network capability supported by the edge capability openness platform and the network capability supported by the core capability openness platform.
It should be noted that N2, N3, N6, etc. in fig. 4 and fig. 5 represent interfaces, and other involved network elements are respectively: user Equipment (UE), Access Network (AN), User Plane Function (UPF), Session Management Function (SMF), Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF), Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Policy Control Function (PCF), Unified Data Management (UDM), Network storage Function (NRF).
