Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a 5G slice segmentation-joining method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method may be used to guide the making of a cutover and joining of network slices, and may be performed by any computing device having data processing capabilities.
As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:
step S110: and acquiring the information of the topological graph to be cut of the slicing network.
Wherein the cutover topology canDenoted G ═ V, E, V is the set of sliced network nodes V ═ { V1, V2, V3, …, VN }, E is the set of edges, E is the connection between network node Vi and network node Vj, then E is the set of edgesij1, otherwise eij=0。
In this embodiment, the cutover topological graph information to be performed by the slice network plan within the nearest preset time period may be automatically obtained, where the cutover topological graph information further includes information reflecting the cutover influence.
Step S120: decomposing the cutover topological graph information to obtain a slice adjacency matrix and a slice characteristic matrix; the slice adjacency matrix represents the connection relation between the nodes in the cutover topological graph, and the slice characteristic matrix represents the influence attribute of a plurality of cutoffs to be performed on each slice node.
Specifically, the cutover topological graph information is decomposed to obtain a slice adjacency matrix and a slice feature matrix, wherein each element in the slice adjacency matrix represents a connection relation between corresponding nodes, the slice feature matrix comprises M attribute values, and influence of M slice network cutoffs to be performed on each slice node is correspondingly planned.
Step S130: and inputting the slice adjacency matrix and the slice characteristic matrix into a trained slice network cut-joint combiner to predict to obtain cut-joint combined information.
The slicing network cut-joint combiner is obtained by training a slicing adjacency matrix sample, a slicing characteristic matrix sample and a correspondingly marked optimal combination scheme information sample which correspond to a cut-joint topological graph of a historical slicing network.
Specifically, after the slice adjacency matrix and the slice feature matrix are input to the slice network cut-join combiner, the slice network cut-join combiner can finally output a cut-join scheme with the minimum influence node times and range, and cut-join combination information is obtained, wherein the cut-join combination information refers to information for combining M slice networks to be performed.
Step S140: and performing the cutting processing according to the cutting and jointing combined information.
After the cutting and jointing combined information is obtained through prediction, the M cutting and jointing network cutting and jointing to be performed can be combined according to the cutting and jointing combined information, and cutting and jointing processing is performed according to the combined result, so that the influence on a cutting user is reduced.
According to the 5G slice segmentation-joining merging method provided by the embodiment, the slice adjacency matrix and the slice feature matrix are decomposed from the to-be-performed segmentation topological graph information of the slice network and are input into the trained slice network segmentation-joining merger, so that the segmentation-joining merging information can be obtained in a predictable manner, and further, the original slice network segmentation-joining can be appropriately merged, and then, the segmentation-joining processing is performed. Therefore, according to the scheme of the embodiment, the cutting and jointing information can be automatically predicted and output, the cutting and jointing which has a large influence on the slicing user is combined, and the influence on the slicing user is reduced; meanwhile, compared with a manual judgment and combination mode, the automatic prediction output can improve the cutting efficiency and accuracy of the slicing network.
Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a 5G slice segmentation-joining method according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the problem of split-join merging of 5G slices is regarded as a node classification (node classification) problem, and finally, the merged split to which each split-joined affected node belongs is output. The slicing network cut-join merger is of a GCNs structure, in the cutting-join scheme, a graph refers to a cut-join topological graph of a slicing network, each node represents a slicing network node, and each edge represents a relation between the slicing network nodes. Using GCNs to extract spatial features of the cutover topology, the goal is to learn a mapping of signals or features on the cutover topology G ═ V, E, with inputs including the slice adjacency matrix a and the slice feature matrix X, and the model will produce a node-level output or a graph-level output.
As shown in fig. 2, the method comprises the steps of:
step S210: training a slice network cut-join combiner, wherein the slice network cut-join combiner is of a graph convolution neural network structure.
In the embodiment of the invention, a slicing network cut-join merger is constructed by a graph convolutional neural network (GCNs) structure, the problem of cut-join merger is converted into the problem of merging nodes in a cut-join topological graph by using the learning advantages of the GCNs on graph structure data, and the slicing network cut-join to be performed is automatically merged.
Specifically, the process of training the slice network cut-join combiner is as follows: collecting cutover topological graph information of a historical slice network as a total data set, marking each piece of data in the data set to obtain a cutover combined information sample, and decomposing cutover topological graph information corresponding to each piece of data to obtain a slice adjacency matrix sample and a slice characteristic matrix sample; taking the slice adjacency matrix sample and the slice characteristic matrix sample as training input data, and taking the corresponding cut-joint and information sample as training output data; and training the graph convolution neural network model by using the training input data and the training output data, and constructing the slice network cut-join combiner according to the model weight when the graph convolution neural network model converges.
Wherein, the marking refers to that M to-be-performed slice network cutting and jointing are combined into K cutting and jointing (K)<M), i.e. classify the cut-affected node into class K. The information of the cutover topological graph is converted into the input of the model, namely a slice adjacency matrix sample A 'and a slice feature matrix sample X', the slice adjacency matrix sample A 'represents the connection relation of each node in the slice network topology, the slice feature matrix sample X' comprises M attribute values, the influence of M slice network cutoffs to be performed correspondingly to the plan on each slice node is achieved, for example, the attribute value of 0 represents that the node is not influenced by the next cutover, and the attribute value of 1 represents that the node is influenced by the next cutover. And, the cutover topology information of the network slice may be represented as G ═ V, E, V is a set of network nodes of the network slice V ═ V1, V2, V3, …, VN }, E is a set of edges, E is a connection between the network node Vi and the network node Vj, and E is a set of edgesij1, otherwise eij=0。
And, composing the slice adjacency matrix sample A 'and the slice feature matrix sample X' as follows:
Figure BDA0002414408130000071
the sliced adjacency matrix sample a' is the connection relationship of each node in the sliced network topology,eijrepresenting the connection relation between networking nodes Vi and Vj, wherein the connection between the nodes is 1, the disconnection between the nodes is 0, and the shape of the slice adjacency matrix sample A' is N x N (N is the number of the nodes);
and the slice feature matrix sample X' contains M attribute values, the influence of M slice network cutovers to be performed correspondingly to the plan on each slice node is realized, and the jth cutover of each node i is represented as Xij,xij0 means that the j-th cut does not affect the node i, xij1 represents that the jth cut will affect node i, and the sample X' of the slice feature matrix is a feature matrix with the shape of N × M (N is the number of nodes, and M is the maximum number of cuts to be made in the data set);
the label of each piece of data can be written into a label matrix Y, namely the label matrix Y is the optimal slice cut-joint merging scheme of the manual label and is merged into K cut-joints (K < M), namely, the nodes are classified into K types, the maximum merged cut-joint number in the data set is K, and the shape is N x 1.
Furthermore, the total data set may be divided into training data and test data, and 80% of the entire data set may be taken as training data, and the remaining 20% as test data. And training by using a training set, so that the closer the reconstructed data is to the original data, the better the reconstructed data is, and evaluating the verification model by using a test set.
Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of a slice network cutover combiner in one specific example of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, a graph network model is built by using a deep learning framework, the model is composed of a plurality of graph convolution layers (GCNs) and a full connection layer (Dense), the graph convolution neural network is used for extracting the node connection relation of the slice network cutover topological graph and the node range influenced by the slice cutover to be performed, and the nodes and edges of the slice topology are projected into a low-dimensional vector space. The full-connection layer finds the relation between the network slicing and cutting and joining scheme of the slice to be performed and the optimal slicing and cutting and joining scheme by learning the slicing and cutting topological vector representation after the spatial features are extracted, and finally outputs the cutting and joining scheme with the minimum influence on the node times and range.
Wherein the first layer is an input layer: inputting a slice adjacency matrix sample A 'and a slice feature matrix sample X';
the second layer is a Graph Conv layer (Graph Conv): the number of convolution kernels is 256, the activation function is set to be 'relu', and the convolution layer is utilized to extract the topological features of the slice network;
the third layer is the Graph convolutional layer (Graph Conv): the number of convolution kernels is 128, and the activation function is set to 'relu';
the fourth layer is a Graph convolutional layer (Graph Conv): the number of convolution kernels is 64, the activation function is set to "lambda", and a potential space vector representation Z of the slice topology nodes and edges is output, wherein Z is GCN (X ', a');
the fifth layer is a fully connected layer (sense): the number of fully connected neurons is 64, the activation function is set to be 'relu', and potential space vector representation Z of the slice network topology is input;
the sixth layer is a fully connected layer (sense): the number of fully connected neurons is 128, the activation function is set to be 'relu', and potential space vector representation Z of the slice network topology is input;
the seventh layer is an output layer and is composed of a full connection layer (Dense): the number of the neurons is set to be K, the K is the maximum cutting number after the slicing cutting and the jointing, and the activation function is set to be sigmoid. And outputting a predicted optimal slice cut-join merging scheme, merging the M to-be-performed slice network cut-joins into K cut-joins (K < M), namely classifying the cut-joins affected nodes into K classes.
An error between the predicted optimal slice-sectioning merge-scheme and the true optimal slice-sectioning merge-scheme is then calculated, the training objective being to minimize the error. The objective function selects a 'binary _ cross' class two logarithmic loss function. The training round number is set to 1000(epochs 1000), and the gradient descent optimization algorithm selects an adam optimizer for improving the learning speed of the conventional gradient descent (optimizer adam'). The neural network can find the optimal weight value which enables the target function to be minimum through gradient descent, and the neural network can learn the weight value automatically through training. Training is performed with a training set so that the smaller the objective function, the better, and the validation model is evaluated with a test set after each round of training. And deriving the weight of the model after the model converges.
In the above step S210, the process of model training is explained in detail, and the online prediction process will be explained below.
Step S220: and acquiring the information of the cutting topological graph to be performed by the slicing network from a network slice management functional module in the slice management architecture.
And automatically acquiring the information of the cutting topological graph to be performed by the slicing network plan within the current nearest preset time period from the NSMF module.
Step S230: decomposing the cutover topological graph information to obtain a slice adjacency matrix and a slice characteristic matrix; the slice adjacency matrix represents the connection relation between the nodes in the cutover topological graph, and the slice characteristic matrix represents the influence attribute of a plurality of cutoffs to be performed on each slice node.
Wherein the slice adjacency matrix A is a matrix of N x N; if the network node V in the topological graph information is cut overiAnd a networking node VjAre connected, then the element e in the adjacent matrix of the sliceijIs a first connection value; and/or if the networking node V in the topological graph information is cut overiAnd a networking node VjAre not connected, then slice the element e in the adjacent matrixijIs the second connection value. For example, the first connection value is 1 and the second connection value is 0.
And the slice feature matrix X is a matrix of N X M; if the network node V in the topological graph information is cut overiAffected by the j-th cut, the element x in the slice feature matrixijIs a first attribute value; and/or if the networking node Vi in the cutover topological graph information is not influenced by the jth cutover, the value of the element xij in the slice feature matrix is the second attribute value. For example, the first attribute value is 1, and the second attribute value is 0.
It should be noted that, the above-mentioned process of obtaining the slice adjacency matrix a and the slice feature matrix X through decomposition, and the composition of the slice adjacency matrix a and the slice feature matrix X, can be referred to the above description of the slice adjacency matrix a 'and the slice feature matrix X' in the training process.
Step S240: and inputting the slice adjacency matrix and the slice characteristic matrix into a trained slice network cut-joint combiner to predict to obtain cut-joint combined information.
Wherein, the cutting number in the cutting topological graph information is M; the number of cutovers in the cutover merging information is K; wherein K is less than M, and K and M are both natural numbers more than 0. In other words, the slice network cut-join combiner can combine M cut-joins to be performed into K cut-joins, and an optimal slice cut-join combining scheme is obtained.
In practical implementation, before inputting the slice adjacency matrix and the slice feature matrix into the slice network cut-join combiner for prediction, the slice adjacency matrix a and the slice feature matrix X may be first transmitted to the data preprocessing module for preprocessing, and processed into a format conforming to the input of the slice network cut-join combiner, for example, the slice network cut-join combiner requires that the input slice feature matrix X is a 50 × 50 matrix, whereas since the number of cuts to be performed is only 48, the actually decomposed slice feature matrix X is a 50 × 48 matrix, the preprocessing may be to complement the insufficient rows and columns in the matrix, in this case, to complement 0 of 50 × 2.
Step S250: and sending the cutting and jointing combined information to a network slice management function module in a slice management architecture for the network slice management function module to perform cutting and jointing processing.
The optimal slice-cutover-merging scheme is fed back to the NSMF, instructing it to operate according to the merged slice-cutover scheme.
Fig. 4 shows the complete flow of the split-join merge method in one specific example of the invention. As shown in fig. 4, the flow is as follows: 1. automatically acquiring the information of a cutover topological graph to be performed by a slice network plan in a recent period of time; 2. converting the topological graph corresponding to the cut topological graph information into a slice adjacency matrix A and a slice characteristic matrix X; 3. inputting the slice adjacency matrix A and the slice characteristic matrix X into a data preprocessing module for matrix preprocessing; 4. inputting the preprocessed matrix into a slicing network cutting and joining combiner; 5. the output of the slicing network cut-joint combiner obtains the optimal slicing cut-joint combination scheme; 6. the optimal slice cutover merge recipe is sent to the NSMF to instruct the merged slice cutover operation.
According to the 5G slice segmentation-joining merging method provided by the embodiment, a historical slice network segmentation topological graph is collected as a total data set, an optimal slice segmentation-joining merging scheme is manually marked on the data set, then the slice segmentation-joining topological graph is converted into model inputs, namely a slice adjacent matrix sample and a slice characteristic matrix sample, the slice adjacent matrix sample is a connection relation of each node in the slice network segmentation topology, the slice characteristic matrix sample comprises M attribute values, and the influence of M slice network segmentations to be performed on each slice node is correspondingly planned; a graph network model is built by using a deep learning framework, the model consists of a plurality of graph convolution layers (GCN) and a full connection layer (Dense), the node connection relation of a slice network cutover topological graph and the node range characteristics influenced by the to-be-sliced cutover are extracted by using a graph convolution neural network, and the nodes and edges of the slice topology are projected into a low-dimensional vector space; the full-connection layer finds the relation between the network slicing and splicing to be performed and the optimal slicing and splicing merging scheme by learning the slicing and splicing topological vector representation after the spatial features are extracted, and finally trains to obtain the slicing and network slicing and splicing merger; when on-line prediction is carried out, the slicing adjacency matrix and the slicing feature matrix which are decomposed in real time are input into the slicing network cut-join combiner, so that a cut-join scheme with the minimum affected node frequency and range can be output, M to-be-carried slicing network cut-joins are combined into K cut-joins (K < M), namely the cut-joined affected nodes are classified into K types, so that the cut-joins of the repeatedly affected nodes are combined, the influence on a slicing user is reduced to the maximum degree, and the cutting-join efficiency of the slicing network is improved.
