In the prior art, in order to implement fast dynamic adjustment of Qos parameters in a 5G network for a specific service data flow, a protocol data unit (Protocol Data Unit, PDU) is generally established at a terminal at the beginning of the terminal accessing the 5G network, for example, a Qos parameter of a 5QI (5G Qos Indicator) is set, if the Qos parameter needs to be adjusted after the terminal accesses the 5G network, a cloud application is required to set a corresponding Qos parameter template in a policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF) in advance, and an index value of the Qos parameter is given by a quality of service reference QosReference. It can be seen that the existing method needs to manually configure parameter templates, is complex in operation, and for cloud applications with flexible and changeable service requirements, a configuration template for all Qos parameters cannot be given in advance, i.e. a unified configuration template cannot be set.
In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a quality parameter adjustment method, which can complete Qos parameter adjustment for all 5G network elements, avoid manually configuring Qos parameter templates, and enable applications to flexibly initiate Qos parameter adjustment according to service requirements.

The access network may be an access network employing different access technologies. There are two types of current radio access technologies: third generation partnership project (3rd generation partnership project,3GPP) access technologies (e.g., wireless access technologies employed in 3G, 4G, or 5G systems) and non-third generation partnership project (non-3 GPP) access technologies. The 3GPP access technology refers to an access technology conforming to the 3GPP standard specification, and an access network employing the 3GPP access technology is referred to as a radio access network (radio access network, RAN), wherein an access network device in the 5G system is referred to as a next generation base station node (next generation Node Base station, gNB). The non-3GPP access technology refers to an access technology that does not conform to the 3GPP standard specification, for example, a null technology represented by an Access Point (AP) in WIFI.

Since the information of the RRC layer may eventually become information of the PHY layer or be converted from the information of the PHY layer, under this architecture, higher layer signaling, such as RRC layer signaling, may also be considered to be transmitted by the DU or by the du+cu. It is understood that the access network device may be a CU node, or a DU node, or a device comprising a CU node and a DU node. In addition, the CU may be divided into access network devices in an access network (radio access network, RAN), or may be divided into access network devices in a Core Network (CN), which is not limited herein.

The PCF informs a target base station, terminal equipment and a user plane function UPF of the target Qos parameter value according to the policy modification request so that the target base station, the terminal equipment and the UPF configure a target Qos parameter;
the Qos parameter adjustment request further includes: the identification of the terminal equipment; the method further comprises the steps of:
the PCF receives a subscription verification request sent by the NEF, wherein the subscription verification request comprises identifiers of services supported by the terminal equipment, the subscription verification request is used for requesting the PCF to judge whether the terminal equipment supports the adjustment of a current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value according to the identifiers of the services supported by the terminal equipment, the identifiers of the services supported by the terminal equipment are determined by the NEF according to the identifiers of the terminal equipment by inquiring a subscription information base in an unstructured data storage function UDSF, and the subscription information base comprises identifiers of the services supported by a plurality of subscription terminal equipment;
the PCF judges whether the terminal equipment supports and adjusts the current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value according to the identifier of the service supported by the terminal equipment;
If the terminal equipment supports to adjust the current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value, the PCF returns a feedback message to the NEF, where the feedback message is used to instruct the terminal equipment to support to adjust the current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value, so that the NEF assigns a value to the target Qos parameter according to the identifier of the target service, and obtains the target Qos parameter value.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the PCF informs the target base station, terminal device, and user plane function UPF of the target Qos parameter value based on the policy modification request, comprising:
the PCF generates PCC rules according to the target Qos parameter values;
and the PCF sends the PCC rule to the SMF so that the SMF informs the target base station, the terminal equipment and the UPF of configuring the target Qos parameter according to the PCC rule.
5. The method of claim 3 wherein the PCF determining whether the terminal device supports and adjusts a current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value based on the identity of the service supported by the terminal device comprises:
the PCF judges whether the identifiers of the services supported by the terminal equipment are matched with the target service identifiers corresponding to the current Qos parameter value adjusted to the target Qos parameter value;
If so, the PCF determines that the terminal equipment supports to adjust the current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value;
if not, the PCF determines that the terminal equipment does not support the adjustment of the current Qos parameter value to the target Qos parameter value.
6. An electronic device, comprising: a processor, a memory and a bus, the memory storing a computer program executable by the processor, the processor and the memory communicating via the bus when the electronic device is running, the processor executing the computer program to perform the quality parameter adjustment method according to any one of claims 1-5.
7. A computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that the computer-readable storage medium has stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a processor, performs the quality parameter adjustment method according to any of claims 1-5.
