As mentioned in the background art, it is necessary to adapt the wireless network management to provide necessary data support for artificial intelligence and big data analysis. At present, the wireless network management side still has the following problems that cannot satisfy UE point-to-point optimization:

1) In the existing wireless network management system, there is no management model established for the UE. For security reasons and other considerations, the sensitive identification of the UE, such as the International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number) and the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (TMSI, Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity) and the temporary wireless network identifier (GRNTI) on the wireless side are not exposed to the network management side, so a specific UE cannot be located from the network management side.

2) In terms of existing wireless network management, the wireless network management side cannot obtain data information for a single UE, and can only perform coarse-grained network adjustments in units of cells or network elements (base stations), and cannot point-to-point network for a certain UE. Optimization and adjustment of services.

In order to solve at least one of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for assigning user equipment identifiers, which assigns new network management side identifiers to user equipment, which can ensure that sensitive identifiers of user equipment are not exposed to the network management side, and can also Provide support for point-to-point network service optimization and adjustment at the granular level of user equipment.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which provides a network topology architecture to which the embodiment of the present invention can be applied. In FIG. 1 , organization A and organization B each include a 3-layer management network architecture defined by 3GPP, and the specific structure of organization B is similar to that of organization A, which is not shown in detail in FIG. 1 . The numbers (such as 1-7) or the combination of numbers and letters (such as 4a, 5a, etc.) on each connecting line in Fig. 1 indicate the interface type between each unit. Wherein, NM represents a network manager (Network Manager), EM represents a network element manager (Element Manager), and DM represents a domain manager (Domain Manager). The user equipment identifier assignment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to interface type 2 in FIG. 1 , that is, the northbound interface of a traditional network management system.

Referring to FIG. 2, the user equipment identifier allocation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step 21, the first network element manager assigns to the first user equipment a partial identifier of the first network element manager for uniquely identifying the first user equipment, and the first user equipment is the first network element manager Manage devices in the first radio access network.

Here, the first user equipment is a device in the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager, for example, the first user equipment may reside in a certain cell of the first radio access network equipment. In this embodiment of the present invention, the first network element manager assigns the first user equipment a partial identifier of the network element manager that can uniquely identify the first user equipment (for ease of description, it is referred to as the first network element management device part identification).

Step 22, the first network element manager sends the partial identification of the first network element manager of the first user equipment to the first network manager, and the first network manager manages the first network element The network manager to which the server belongs.

Here, the first network element manager is a network element manager managed by the first network manager. After the first network element manager allocates the first network element manager partial identifier to the first user equipment, it sends the first network element manager partial identifier to the first network manager to prompt the first network management The controller continues to allocate a partial identifier of the network manager (for ease of description, referred to as a partial identifier of the first network manager) for the first user equipment.

Step 23, the first network element manager receives the first network management side identification of the first user equipment sent by the first network manager, and the first network management side identification includes the first network element manager A partial identifier and a first network manager partial identifier assigned to the first user equipment by the first network manager for uniquely identifying the first user equipment.

Here, after the first network manager assigns the first network manager partial identifier to the first user equipment, it can obtain the network management side identifier of the first user equipment (for ease of description, it is called the first network management identifier). side identification), and send it to the first network element manager, wherein the first network management side identification includes the first network element manager partial identification and the first network manager partial identification. The first network element manager receives the first network management side identifier of the first user equipment sent by the first network manager. In addition, the first network element manager may also establish a corresponding relationship between the first network management side identifier and a sensitive identifier (such as IMSI, TMSI or GRNTI, etc.) of the first user equipment. Here, the "part" in the partial identification of the network element manager and the partial identification of the network manager refers to the identification of the network management side, and is a part that constitutes the identification of the network management side.

Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention can respectively maintain the first network management side identifier of the first user equipment on the first network element manager and the first network manager side, so that the first network management side identifier can be used to uniquely identify the The first user equipment realizes the isolation of user sensitive identifiers, and can provide support for realizing optimization and adjustment of peer-to-peer network services at the granularity level of user equipment.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first network element manager may only perform the operation in step 21 when it needs to manage a certain user equipment. Specifically, before step 21, the first network element manager The controller may determine the user equipment that needs to be managed by the network management system, and regard the user equipment that needs to be managed as the first user equipment, and then proceed to step 21 to assign the first network element manager partial identifier to the first user equipment . When determining the first user equipment that needs to be managed, there are different implementations according to different application scenarios.

For example, when it is necessary to manage user equipment under a certain target network element (the target network element may specifically be a base station and/or a cell), the process shown in FIG. 2 may be triggered. At this time, the first network manager may determine the target network element and notify the network element manager to which the target network element belongs (that is, the network element manager that manages the target network element, which is assumed to be the first network element manager); the first network element manager may receive the notification message of the target network element sent by the first network manager, and then notify the user equipment (such as the resident network element) within the coverage of the target network element A user equipment within the above-mentioned coverage area, or a user equipment that has established a connection with the target network element, etc.), as the first user equipment, so that the user under a specific network element can be subsequently processed through the process shown in FIG. 2 The device allocates the network management side identifier, and then provides the user equipment with subsequent management of network services at the granularity level of the user equipment based on the network management side identifier.

For another example, the first network element manager receives the notification message of the target service sent by the first network manager; then, the first element manager notifies the users who perform the target service in the network elements under their management device, as the first user equipment, so that the network management side identifier can be assigned to the user equipment performing a specific service through the process shown in Figure 2, and then based on the network management side identifier, subsequent user equipment granularity level information can be provided for the user equipment. Management of web services.

Considering factors such as the mobility of the user equipment, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the network management side identifier is assigned to the first user equipment, the network management side identifier can also be recovered according to the location change of the first user equipment, which may specifically include network element Recycling of manager part IDs and/or recycling of network manager part IDs.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after the above step 23, if the first user equipment moves out of the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager, for example, the first user equipment is disconnected or powered off Or remove the first radio access network through a process such as cell reselection or cell handover, at this time, the first network element manager may recycle the first network element manager partial identifier of the first user equipment, and, Sending a notification message to the first network manager for instructing to reclaim the partial identifier of the first network manager of the first user equipment.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after the above step 23, if the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager of the first user equipment enters into the first radio access network managed by the second network element manager Two radio access networks, and the network manager to which the second network element manager belongs is also the first network manager, at this time, the first network element manager may recycle the first network element manager of the first user equipment A network element manager part identifier. In addition, when the user equipment moves between the network element managers, the network element managers can also exchange the network manager part identifier of the first user equipment, so that the network manager does not need to re-allocate the network management for the first user equipment. part of the identifier. At this time, in addition to recovering the first network element manager partial identifier of the first user equipment, the first network element manager may also send the first network element manager partial identifier of the first user equipment to the second Two network element managers. For example, when the first user equipment enters the second radio access network from the first radio access network through a process such as cell reselection or cell handover, the partial identification of the network element manager may be recovered according to the above process and reassign. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user equipment moves between network element managers, the network manager may re-allocate the network manager partial identifier for the user equipment, and at this time, the above interaction between the network element managers may not be required for the user equipment The action identified by the Network Manager section.

In actual scenarios, in addition to the above user equipment that has been assigned the network management side identifier may move out of the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager, it may also happen that the second user equipment is removed from other network element managers ( For example, the second network element manager, assuming that the network manager to which the second network element manager belongs is also the radio access network (such as the second radio access network) managed by the first network manager) enters the In the first radio access network, at this time, the first network element manager may allocate to the second user equipment a partial identifier of the second network element manager for uniquely identifying the second user equipment, and assign the second user equipment The second network element manager part identifier of the device is sent to the first network manager.

Similarly, in order to avoid reallocating part of the network manager identifier, after the second user equipment moves into the first radio access network, the first network element manager may receive the first network element manager sent by the second network element manager. The second network manager partial identifier of the second user equipment; then, the first network element manager may allocate the second network element manager partial identifier for uniquely identifying the second user equipment to the second user equipment, and Sending both the second network element manager partial identifier and the second network manager partial identifier of the second user equipment to the first network manager.

In addition, in the above process, how to detect that a user equipment moves out or moves into a certain radio access network can refer to the flow of mobility management in the prior art, and will not be repeated in this paper to save space.

The above describes the allocation and reclaiming of the network management side identifier of the user equipment from the side of the network element manager. Next, the above flow will be explained from the network manager side.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user equipment identifier allocation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when applied to the first network manager side, includes:

Step 31: The first network manager receives the partial identification of the first network element manager of the first user equipment sent by the first network element manager, and the partial identification of the first network element manager is the first network element manager An identifier assigned to the first user equipment for uniquely identifying the first user equipment, and the first network element manager is a network element manager managed by the first network manager.

Here, after the first network element manager allocates the partial identifier of the first network element manager to the first user equipment, it will send a notification message to the first network manager, the notification message carrying the first network element management The partial identifier of the network manager is used to instruct the first network manager to continue to allocate the partial identifier of the network manager to the first user equipment. In the above step 31, the first network manager receives the partial identifier of the first network element manager, and specifically may receive a notification message carrying the partial identifier of the first network element manager.

Step 32: The first network manager assigns to the first user equipment a first network manager partial identifier for uniquely identifying the first user equipment, and sends the first network element manager the The first network management side identifier of the first user equipment, where the first network management side identifier includes the first network element manager partial identifier and the first network manager partial identifier.

Here, the first network manager assigns a network manager partial identifier (for convenience of description, referred to as a first network manager partial identifier) to the first user equipment, so that based on the first network element manager partial identifier and the first The network manager partly identifies, generates the network management side identification of the first user equipment (for convenience of description, referred to as the first network management side identification), and returns the first network management side identification to the first network element manager.

Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention can respectively maintain the first network management side identifier of the first user equipment on the first network manager and the first network element manager side, so that the first network management side identifier can be used to uniquely identify the The first user equipment implements the isolation of user sensitive identifiers, and can provide support for subsequent user equipment granular level point-to-point network management.

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, before the above step 31, the first network manager may determine the target network element to be managed (specifically, it may be a base station or a cell, etc.) and the network to which the target network element belongs. element manager; then, the first network manager sends a notification message of the target network element to the network element manager to which the target network element belongs, wherein the network element manager to which the target network element belongs includes the The first network element manager, the first user equipment is a user equipment within the coverage of the target network element. Subsequently, the network management side identifier may be assigned to the first user equipment under the target network element through the process shown in FIG. 3 .

According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, before the above step 31, the first network manager may determine the target service to be managed; then, send a notification message of the target service to the first network element manager. Here, the first user equipment is a user equipment performing a target service. Similarly, the network management side identifier may be assigned to the first user equipment performing the target service through the process shown in FIG. 3 subsequently.

In order to realize the recovery process of the identification, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after the above step 32, the first network manager may also receive an instruction to recover the first user sent by the first network element manager. A notification message of the part identifier of the first network manager of the device; then, the first network manager reclaims the part identifier of the first network manager of the first user equipment according to the notification message.

In order to implement identification update processing, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, after the above step 32, the first network manager may also receive the second network element of the second device sent by the first network element manager Manager part identifier and second network manager part identifier; then, judge whether the network element manager part identifier of the second device maintained by the first network manager itself is consistent with the second network element manager part The identifiers are the same, if they are the same, the processing may not be executed, and the process ends; if they are different, the partial identifier of the network element manager of the second device may be updated to the partial identifier of the second network element manager, thereby realizing user Identity update process.

The above describes the process of assigning user IDs from the side of the network element manager and the network manager respectively. As can be seen from the above process, the network management side identifier (represented by UE_Man_ID) of the user equipment (UE) in the embodiment of the present invention includes two parts, which are respectively: the network manager part identifier (represented by UE_NM_ID) and the network element manager part For the identifier (indicated by UE_EM_ID), the above two parts may use bits of a pre-agreed length, and then the above two parts of bits are connected together to form UE_Man_ID. Usually, the network manager assigns a unique identifier under the network manager, which is used to identify the part identifier of the network manager of the management plane of the user equipment, such as UE_NM_ID. Considering the mobile scenario of user equipment across network element managers, in order for the network manager to know the target network element manager for the subsequent configuration of the user equipment, it is also necessary to assign the network element manager part identifier of the user equipment, such as UE_EM_ID .

That is, the network management side identifier of the user equipment UE_Man_ID=UE_NM_ID+UE_EM_ID.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the network management side identifier of the user equipment is allocated by the network element manager and the network manager, and the network management side identifier is generally valid only in the network element manager and the network manager. Since different network managers may have different management policies and coverage areas, when the user equipment enters another network manager or network element manager, it will be subject to the management of another network manager or network element manager.

For example, when the user equipment enters the equipment coverage area managed by another network element manager, the part of the network element manager identification in the network management side identification of the user equipment needs to be updated.

For another example, when a user equipment enters the coverage area of a network managed by another network manager, the part of the network manager identification in the network management side identification of the user equipment needs to be updated. In addition, if a network element manager usually only belongs to one network Manager, at this time, it is also necessary to update the identification of the network element manager part in the identification of the network management side of the user equipment.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the allocation of the network management side ID of the user equipment may be done on demand, and when a certain user equipment needs to be managed, the network management side ID is assigned to the user equipment. For example, according to the analysis of historical performance measurement data, when the network manager creates a management policy and applies it to a certain base station (gNB), the gNB will report the user equipment residing in the gNB to the network management side. At this time, these user equipment can be Assign the ID of the network management side. For another example, in combination with the service of the user equipment, the information of the user equipment performing a certain target service will also be reported to the network management side by the gNB, and at this time, network management side identifiers can be assigned to these user equipments.

In the above process of assigning the network management side identifier, the network management side device (such as the network manager) does not obtain the sensitive identifier (IMSI/TMSI/IMEI/GRNTI...) of the user equipment, so that the security of the personal information of the user equipment can be protected, Avoid privacy leaks and improve network security.

Please refer to Figure 4, which shows an example of the interactive process of user equipment identifier allocation on the network management side, in which:

In step 40, the NM decides to configure a management strategy for the EM by analyzing the measurement data reported by the EM.

In step 41, the NM notifies the EM of the target network element (such as base station/cell) involved in the management policy.

In step 42, the EM allocates a part of the network element manager identifier UE_EM_ID to the UE residing in the target network element it manages.

In step 43, the EM reports the UE information (including the UE_EM_ID allocated to the UE) in the target network element it manages to the NM.

In step 44, the NM assigns the UE reported by the EM a part of the network manager identifier UE_NM_ID, thereby generating the UE's network management identifier UE_Man_ID=UE_NM_ID+UE_EM_ID.

In step 45, the NM notifies the EM of the network management identifier UE_Man_ID of the UE.

Through the above process, the allocation of the network management side identifier of the UE under the target network element is realized.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows another example of the interaction process of user equipment identifier allocation on the network management side, wherein:

In step 50, the NM receives the use case configuration information, and needs to deploy a specific use case, for example, a use case optimized for a specific service; the NM requests the EMS to obtain UE information for the specific service, so as to determine which target UEs need to be allocated ID of the network management side.

In step 51, the NM obtains from the EM the information of target UEs residing in the network elements it manages and performing the specific service, so as to instruct the EM to allocate network element manager partial identifiers for these UEs.

In step 52, the EM assigns a UE_EM_ID to the target UE residing in the network element it manages.

In step 53, the EM reports the target UE information (including the UE_EM_ID allocated to the UE) in the managed network element to the NM.

In step 54, the NM assigns the UE reported by the EM the network manager part identifier UE_NM_ID, thereby generating the UE's network management side identifier UE_Man_ID=UE_NM_ID+UE_EM_ID.

In step 55, the NM notifies the EM of the network management identifier UE_Man_ID of the UE.

Through the above process, the network management side identifier is assigned to the UE performing the target service.

Specifically, the first network element manager may detect that the first user equipment has moved out of the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager, or receive the When the notification message for stopping the collection of the user data of the first user equipment is determined, it is determined that the collection of the user data of the first user equipment needs to be stopped. Here, when detecting that the first user equipment moves out of the first radio access network managed by the first network element manager, the first network element manager may also send an instruction to the first network manager A notification message for releasing the first link, so as to trigger the first network manager to release the link.

Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention reports the user data of the user equipment to the network manager based on the network management side identifier of the user equipment, thereby avoiding leakage of sensitive identifiers of the user equipment. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention creates and maintains the user data transmission link of the user equipment, so that various measurement data of the user equipment can be transmitted through the link, and the point-to-point user data collection at the granularity level of the user equipment is realized. , so as to provide support for subsequent network service optimization and adjustment.

Please refer to FIG. 9, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a device management method, which is applied to the first network manager, including:

Step 91, the first network manager receives user data of the first user equipment sent by the first network element manager from the first link.

Here, the first network manager may use the first link identifier as the identity identifier of the first user equipment, and based on the user data of the first user equipment, train a preset network management model to obtain a network management optimization strategy; or, The user data of the first user equipment is used as an input parameter of the trained network management model, and a network management optimization policy output by the network management model is obtained.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, through the data collection of user equipment, with the support of technologies such as AI/ML, operators can obtain a network adjustment model that improves the end-to-end experience of user equipment through model training, thereby using artificial intelligence to realize The purpose of automatic network resource allocation, adjustment and network management.

Step 93: Send the first link identifier and network management optimization policy to the first network element manager.

Through the data collection of user equipment, with the support of AI/ML and other technologies, operators can obtain a network adjustment model that improves the end-to-end experience of user equipment through model training, so as to use artificial intelligence to realize automated rational allocation and adjustment of network resources and network management purposes.

In the above data collection process, for the data collection of user equipment (UE), on the premise of maintaining the existing 3GPP message format to the greatest extent, the NM acts as the server and the EM acts as the client to establish a point-to-point link for each UE. And use UE_Man_NM_ID and UE_Man_EM_ID to maintain UE end-to-end connection. Here, the UE_Man_NM_ID and UE_Man_EM_ID constitute the link management identifier associated with the identifier on the network management side.

The data collection method and the device management method of the user equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below through several examples.

Figure 10 shows an example of link establishment, user data transmission, and link release. The operator indicates the specific data collection requirements of the NM. Assuming that the requirement is to collect data of a specific UE to meet an optimization use case, then the following can Include the following steps:

In steps 101a-101b, the NM and the EM respectively create a server and a client of the UE-level data collection link.

Step 102, for each UE that needs to be managed, the EM requests the NM to establish an end-to-end link.

Step 103, in response to the above request, use UE_Man_NM_ID and UE_Man_EM_ID to identify a link, and establish an end-to-end link for each UE. Here, UE_Man_NM_ID and UE_Man_EM_ID may be represented by UE_NM_ID and UE_EM_ID respectively, or other identifiers may be used.

Step 104, through the link established above, the EM sends the UE data to the NM on the corresponding link.

Through the above steps, the establishment of the UE management link can be realized.

Figure 10 also shows the UE management link release process, as follows:

Step 105, when a certain UE moves out of the network element managed by the EM, the EM sends the information of the UE that has moved out of the network element, such as the network management side identifier of the UE, to the NM.

In step 106, the EM notifies the NM that the association link of the UE that has been removed needs to be released.

Of course, the above steps 105 and 106 can also be combined, so that the number of interactive messages can be reduced.

In steps 107a-107b, the NM and EM respectively release the management link of the UE. Here, the NM and the EM may further release the UE's partial network manager identifier and network element manager partial identifier.

In this example, the operator can also instruct the NM to stop the data collection of a certain UE, or remove the optimization use case corresponding to a certain UE. At this time, the NM can notify the EM to release the management link of the UE, and the subsequent steps can be similar to step 107a The process of ~107b is to release the management link.

However, for such traffic-intensive and highly interactive applications, the current semi-static QoS framework cannot effectively meet the diverse QoE requirements, especially considering the potentially significant fluctuations in radio transmission capacity, QoE estimation/prediction at the application layer is generally considered It helps to deal with this uncertainty, improve the efficiency of wireless resources, and ultimately improve the user experience.

In QoE optimization in the O-RAN architecture and its open interfaces, multidimensional data can be acquired and processed through machine learning (ML) algorithms to support traffic identification, QoE prediction, and QoS enforcement decisions.

As an example, UE-level data required for this use case includes:

UE radio channel information, such as mobility information;

Layer 2 related information of the UE, such as throughput, delay, etc.;

UE wireless protocol stack status, such as PDCP buffer status;

This example deploys the trained model on RAN. For this application scenario, in combination with the above embodiments of the present invention, an example of QoE-based user data collection and optimization shown in FIG. 11 can be given:

Step 1102, the EM identifies the target UE according to the UE_Man_ID of the target UE, and sends the UE collection task to the RAN to which the target UE belongs.

In step 1103, the RAN reports the measurement data of the target UE according to the collection task.

Step 1101, EM reports UE measurement data and carries UE_Man_ID to identify target UE.

Step 1105, NM performs AI/ML model training according to the received data.

In step 1106, the NM generates an optimization strategy for the target UE according to the training result, and sends it to the EM with the UE_Man_ID identifier.

Step 1107, the EM identifies the target UE according to the UE_Man_ID, and sends the configuration information to the RAN according to the above optimization strategy.

Step 1108, RAN receives configuration information, and adjusts target UE resources according to the configuration information.

Step 1109, the RAN continues to report the measurement data of the target UE after the optimization strategy is implemented.

Step 1110, EM reports UE measurement data and carries UE_Man_ID to identify the target UE.

Step 1111, NM judges whether the expected optimization effect is achieved according to the received measurement data, so as to decide whether to initiate a new round of optimization, and put the data into the AI/ML training data set.

Step 1112, the UE goes offline or moves out of the RAN managed by the EM.

Step 1113, delete the corresponding management link through the UE management link deletion process between the NM and the EM.
