The complex network inevitably causes the increase of operation and maintenance difficulty, and the rapid deployment of the network to meet diversified services through low cost and rapid network operation and maintenance is the key point of attention of operators.

The operator needs to screen out the data concerned by the operator from the received large amount of network performance data, or analyze the reason of performance attenuation based on the received network performance data and the service condition.

A large amount of performance data is transmitted, so that on one hand, the real-time performance reporting is influenced, and the network operation and maintenance efficiency is influenced; on the other hand, a large amount of performance data inevitably has invalid data, and operators need to spend a large amount of effort and cost to analyze the performance data, which also affects the efficiency of network operation and maintenance.

It should be noted that, in the following embodiments of the present application, names of messages between devices or names of parameters in messages are only an example, and other names may also be used in a specific implementation, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for obtaining a performance intention index, where in a communication system architecture illustrated in fig. 1, a demand device proposes the performance intention index to a management device, and the management device obtains performance data to obtain a performance intention value of the performance intention index, and provides the performance intention value to the demand device, where the performance intention value is used for operation and maintenance of a network by the demand device. The intent processing method provided by the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 3, the method for obtaining a performance intention index according to the embodiment of the present application may include:

s301, the demand equipment acquires the identification of the performance data which can be provided by the management equipment.

The performance data that the management device can provide refers to data related to network performance that the management device can obtain. For example, network-related performance data may include, but is not limited to: the performance data of the network element itself, the performance data of the components thereof, the terminal-related performance data, the slice-related performance data, and the performance data of the network element, which are reported by other management devices.

The identifier of the performance data is used to indicate the performance data, and may include a name or a type of the performance data, or may be other information.

For example, the performance data may include, but is not limited to, throughput rate, Physical Resource Block (PRB) usage rate, number of registered users, number of online users, user perceived rate, packet loss rate, number of active users, delay, call drop rate, and the like.

The identification of the performance data that can be provided by the demand device acquisition management device in S301 can be implemented by, but is not limited to, the following four implementation manners:

in a first implementation manner, the management device periodically sends the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device to the demand device that communicates with the management device, and in S301, the demand device can obtain the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device by receiving the identifier.

Correspondingly optionally, in the first implementation manner, before S301, the method for obtaining the performance intention index provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include S301 a.

S301a, the management device sends a performance data capability reporting request.

The performance data capability reporting request includes an identifier of performance data that can be provided by the management device.

For example, the performance data capability reporting request includes an identifier of performance data supported by the management device (e.g., an average user throughput, a PRB usage rate, a number of registered users, a number of online users, a user sensing rate, a packet loss rate, a number of activated users, a delay, a call drop rate, and the like) and/or an acquisition period (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, and the like).

In a first implementation manner, S301 may be specifically implemented as: the demand equipment receives the performance data identifier which can be provided by the management equipment and is included in the performance data capability reporting request sent by the management equipment.

In a second implementation manner, the management device sends the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device to the demand device based on the request of the demand device, and in S301, the demand device receives and acquires the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device by sending a request message.

Correspondingly optionally, in a second implementation manner, S301 may specifically be implemented as: the demand equipment sends a request message for acquiring the identification of the performance data which can be provided by the management equipment to the management equipment, and then receives the identification of the performance data which can be provided by the management equipment and is sent by the management equipment.

In a third implementation, an administrator of the demand device configures, in the demand device, an identifier of performance data that can be provided by the management device.

In a third implementation manner, S301 may specifically be implemented as: the requiring device reads the identification of the performance data that the managing device can provide, which is stored internally.

In a fourth implementation manner, the demand device queries a corresponding template (for example, a template of a certain network element provided by the management device or a template of an own network), where the template includes performance data capability information of the management device, and the performance data capability information includes an identifier of performance data supported by the management device.

Of course, S301 may also be implemented in other ways than the four implementation ways described above, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

S302, the demand equipment determines the request information according to the performance data which can be provided by the management equipment.

The request information may include, among other things, an identification of the performance intent indicator, an expression of the performance intent indicator, and a measurement object. The expression for the performance intent indicator is used to describe a relationship of the performance intent indicator and the at least one performance data. The request information is used for instructing the management apparatus to collect at least one performance data of the measurement object to calculate a performance intention value of the performance intention index.

The performance intention index is a reference index defined by the demand equipment according to the purpose of self network operation and maintenance, and the performance intention value of the performance intention index is calculated by at least one performance data in the performance data provided by the management equipment according to an expression. The request information may include an identifier, an expression, and a measurement object of each of the one or more performance intention indicators, and the number of performance intention indicators included in the request information is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The identifier of the performance intention index may be a name or a type of the performance intention index, or others, and this is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, the content of the expression of the performance intention index may be configured according to actual requirements, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example, the expression of the performance intent indicator may include an identification of at least one performance datum included in the expression, and a weight for each of the at least one performance datum. I.e. the performance intent indicator is calculated based on at least one performance data weighting.

For example, the expression of the performance intent index may include an identification of at least one performance datum included in the expression, and a weight value, a standard value, of each of the at least one performance datum. I.e. the performance intent indicator is calculated based on at least one performance data weighting and normalization.

The standard value is used for normalizing different data with different measurement units or different sampling granularities in the calculation process so as to improve the calculation availability.

For example, one performance intent index may be expressed as

For example, one performance intent index may be expressed as

Example 1: in the vertical industry (a customer who rents slices to an operator, such as an electric power enterprise), the time delay of the network slices and the user throughput rate can visually describe information of a network or a service, and the expression of determining a performance intention index according to the characteristics of the service of the vertical industry is shown in the following table 1.

TABLE 1

Performance data	Weight value	Standard value
			End-to-end delay	0.5	20
Uplink throughput rate	0.2	200
			Downlink throughput rate	0.3	300

Example 2: the operator wants to know the resource usage of a certain base station, the uplink throughput rate distribution of the terminal, the total number of available PRBs and the total PRB usage rate, which can be used to describe the resource usage of the base station, so the expression of the operator for determining the performance intention index is shown in table 2 below.

TABLE 2

Performance data	Weight value	Standard value
			Uplink throughput rate distribution for terminals	0.3	200
Total number of available PRBs	0.2	80
			Overall PRB usage	0.5	70

For example, the measurement object may be a core network function (e.g., AMF, SMF, etc.), an access network function (e.g., gNB, eNB, CUCP entity, CUUP entity, DU entity, centralized Cell (Cell CU), distributed Cell (Cell DU), network (e.g., sub-network, network slice subnet), or a service (e.g., communication service).

Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing, the request information may further include one or more of the following: reporting period, collecting period, reporting mode, prediction indication information and prediction period. The prediction indication information is used for indicating that the performance intention index is predicted; prediction is to perform statistical analysis on data of past time to obtain a trend, and obtain data of non-arrival time. The reporting mode is used for indicating the stream reporting or the file reporting of the performance intention value of the performance intention index.

In one possible implementation, the request information may further include first time point information indicating a first time point to indicate a performance intention value of the performance intention indicator included in the demand device request information at the first time point.

In another possible implementation, the requesting information may further include: and the edge value of the performance intention index is used for indicating the management equipment to report the performance intention value or the edge alarm notice when the performance intention value is worse than the edge value.

When the value of the performance intention index is larger, the network performance is better, and the difference of the performance intention index and the edge value is that the value of the performance intention index is smaller than or equal to the edge value; the worse than edge value means that the value of the performance intention index is greater than or equal to the edge value when the network performance is better as the value of the performance intention index is smaller.

The edge value of the performance intention index may be configured according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the edge value of the performance intention indicator may be defined as a critical value of the performance intention indicator when the demand device performs network operation and maintenance.

In S302, the demand device determines that the request information may be obtained through, but not limited to, the following two schemes:

scheme 1, the administrator of the demand equipment inputs the content of the request information.

In the scheme 1, the demand device displays the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device and is acquired in S301 to the administrator through the display device, the administrator inputs the specific content of the request information through the input device, and the demand device determines the specific content of the request information.

In the scheme 2, different request information contents are configured in the demand equipment in advance.

The content of different request information preconfigured in the demand device is preconfigured by an administrator of the demand device according to a network management requirement, and the configuration method and the content are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application.

In scheme 2, the demand device matches the identifier of the performance data that can be provided by the management device and is acquired in S301 with different request information contents configured in the demand device, and selects the request information contents according to a preset rule.

The content of the preset rule may be configured according to actual requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the preset rule may be configured to select which set of requested information contents when the management device can provide which performance data.

And S303, the demand equipment sends the determined request information to the management equipment.

The request information sent in S303, that is, the request information determined by the demand device in S302, is not described herein again.

In another possible implementation, if the demand device desires to request a performance intention value of which the performance intention indicator is worse than the edge value thereof, as shown in fig. 3, the method for obtaining the performance intention indicator according to the embodiment of the present application may further include S303a and S303 b.

S303a, the demand device sends an edge alarm subscription request to the management device.

The edge alarm subscription request comprises an identifier of a performance intention index and an edge value of the performance intention index. The edge alarm subscription request is used for indicating the management equipment to report the performance intention value or the edge alarm notification when the performance intention value is worse than the edge value.

In a possible implementation, the edge alarm subscription request may further include second time point information, where the second time point information is used to indicate a second time point, so as to indicate the management device to report the performance intention value or the edge alarm notification when the value of the performance intention indicator at the second time point is worse than the edge value of the performance intention indicator at the second time point.

S303b, the management device receives the edge alert subscription request sent by the demand device.

S304, the management device receives the request information from the demand device.

The request information received in S304, that is, the request information sent by the demand device in S303, is not described herein again.

S305, the management equipment acquires at least one piece of performance data of the measurement object, and acquires a performance intention value of the performance intention index according to the expression of the performance intention index.

Specifically, the request information includes the identifier of the performance intention index a, the expression of the performance intention index a, and the measurement object of the performance intention index a, then, in S305, the management device measures the measurement object of the performance intention index a, acquires at least one piece of performance data included in the expression of the performance intention index a of the measurement object, then substitutes the acquired performance data into the expression of the performance intention index a to calculate, and takes the calculation result as the performance intention value of the performance intention index a.

It should be noted that the management device executes the process of S305 for each performance intention index, and the embodiment of the present application describes only the process of executing S305 for one performance intention index by the management device, but is not particularly limited.

In one possible implementation, the management device performs S305 periodically after receiving the request information, and the period is configured by an administrator of the management device.

In one possible implementation, the management device performs S305 periodically according to the acquisition period included in the request information after receiving the request information.

Further optionally, when the request information includes the prediction indication information, the management device further needs to perform statistical analysis on the performance intention index according to the performance intention value of the performance intention index that has been acquired, so as to predict the performance intention value of the performance intention index at a time after the current time.

Further, when the request information includes the prediction instruction information and the prediction period, the management device performs statistical analysis on the performance intention index according to the prediction period and based on the performance intention value of the performance intention index that has been acquired, to predict the performance intention value of the performance intention index at a time after the current time.

S306, the management device sends the performance intention value of the performance intention index to the demand device.

Specifically, S306 may include, but is not limited to, the following possible implementation manners:

in implementation a, the management device executes S306 once every time S305 is executed, and reports the performance intention value of the performance intention index acquired in S305.

In implementation B, the management device executes S306 based on the request of the demand device.

In implementation B, as shown in fig. 3, the method for obtaining a performance intention index provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include S306a and S306B.

S306a, the demand device sends a performance intention value query request to the management device.

The performance intention value query request may include the identifier of the performance intention index and the first time point information, or the performance intention value query request may include only the identifier of the performance intention index.

S306b, the management device receives the performance intention value query request sent by the demand device.

In implementation B, when the performance intention value query request includes the identifier of the performance intention index and the first time point information, S306 may specifically be implemented as: the management device sends a first time point to the demand device after receiving the performance intention value query request, and the performance intention value of the performance intention index included in the performance intention value query request is sent to the demand device.

In implementation B, when the performance intention value query request only includes the identifier of the performance intention index, S306 may specifically be implemented as: the management device sends the performance intention value of the performance intention index included in the performance intention value query request to the demand device after receiving the performance intention value query request, wherein the performance intention value is acquired after the time when the performance intention value query request is received.

In implementation C, the management device executes S306 when the performance intention value satisfies the preset condition based on the request of the demand device.

Specifically, when the request information includes the performance intention index edge value, or the method includes that the process management device as described in the foregoing S303a and S303b receives the edge alarm subscription request, S306 is executed according to the implementation C.

Wherein the preset condition is a condition that a value of the defined performance intention index is worse than the edge value. The preset condition includes being greater than or equal to the edge value, or being less than or equal to the edge value. When the value of the performance intention index is larger, the network performance is better, and the preset condition is that the value of the performance intention index is smaller than or equal to the edge value; when the smaller the value of the performance intention index is, the better the network performance is, the preset condition is that the value of the performance intention index is greater than or equal to the edge value.

In a possible implementation, if the edge alarm subscription request further includes the second time point information, executing S306 in implementation C specifically includes: if the performance intention value of the performance intention index at the second time point satisfies the preset condition, the management device executes S306.

In another possible implementation, in implementation C, the management device may send only performance intent index edge alert notifications, the performance intent index edge alert notifications including an identification of a performance intent index that exceeds an edge value, without sending a specific performance intent value.

Further, regardless of the manner in which the management apparatus performs S306, the management apparatus transmits the performance intention value of the performance intention index to the demand apparatus, and also transmits the time point information of each performance intention value at the time of performing S306.

Further, when the request information includes a reporting mode, the management device needs to execute S306 in a mode indicated by the reporting mode.

S307, the demand device receives the performance intention value of the performance intention index from the management device.

Specifically, the performance intention value of the performance intention index received by the demand device in S307, that is, the performance intention value of the performance intention index sent by the management device in S306, corresponds to multiple implementations in S306, and the implementation manner corresponding to the performance intention value in S307 is also provided, which is not described in detail.

After S307, the demand device may operate and maintain its managed network according to the performance intent value of the performance intent index.

It should be noted that, the execution sequence of the above steps included in the method for obtaining a performance intention index provided in the embodiment of the present application may be configured according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in this application, and fig. 3 only illustrates one possible execution sequence of the above steps included in the intention processing method, and is not specifically limited.

Further, after S307, the demand device may analyze the received performance intention value or performance intention index edge alarm notification in combination with its own service/network performance condition (for example, whether coverage is problematic, whether a user is complaint, service delay, etc.), and decide (the decision process may refer to S302) that the subscribed performance intention index needs to be updated, including but not limited to: the method for obtaining the performance intention index provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include S308 and S309 when one or more of the subscribed performance intention index is increased or decreased, and a weight value and/or a standard value in an expression of the subscribed performance intention index, a measurement object, and related performance data are adjusted.

S308, the demand equipment sends an updating request to the management equipment.

The update request is used to update the performance intention index included in the request message, and may also be understood as updating the performance intention index requested by the demand device to the management device, including one or more of increasing or decreasing the requested performance intention index, adjusting a weight value and/or a standard value in an expression of the requested performance intention index, a measurement object, related performance data, and the like.

S309, the management device receives the updating request sent by the demand device.

Specifically, after receiving the update request, the management device adds or deletes the performance intention index, or adjusts one or more items of a weight value and/or a standard value in an expression of the performance intention index requested by the demand device, a measurement object, related performance data, and the like according to the content of the update request.
