Detailed Description
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the subject matter of the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, and the like. In other instances, well-known technical solutions have not been shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.
Furthermore, the drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repetitive description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These functional entities may be implemented in the form of software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.
The flow charts shown in the drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all of the steps. For example, some steps may be decomposed, some steps may be combined or partially combined, and thus the actual execution order may be changed according to the actual situation.
The network element configuration state monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can be applied to any application scene needing to update the network element configuration state. For example, under a cloud native micro-service architecture, a 5G core network element service function uses micro-service containerized deployment management, so that the service function of the core network element is suitable for more diversified service requirements. After the network element service of the 5G core network migrates to the cloud native micro-service architecture, configuration information of the network element is generally required to be modified, so that the configuration information of the network element is updated to adapt to new service requirements.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a network element configuration update flow diagram according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 2 schematically illustrates a process diagram for acquiring to-be-transformed status information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, taking a core network element as an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and a Session Management Function (SMF) as an example, network element configuration information to be transformed is forwarded to a micro service of a core network element service through an Operation and Management Subsystem (OAMS). For example, taking the obtaining of the configuration state information to be converted of the AMF as an example, the process may also use the process shown in fig. 2 to obtain the network element configuration information to be converted, where the AMF configuration information is the network element configuration information that needs to be updated by the operation and maintenance staff, that is, the network element configuration information to be converted, and the network element configuration information to be converted may be forwarded to the micro service of the AMF service by the micro service gateway through the OAMS.
After the core network elements AMF and SMF respectively obtain the network element configuration information to be converted, the network element configuration information to be converted is written into the configuration table of the database, meanwhile, the configuration information when the AMF is started is derived from an AMF configuration file, the configuration information when the SMF network element is started is derived from an SMF configuration file, the AMF configuration file is amfcg.yaml, for example, and the AMF and the SMF are communicated through N11. The operation and maintenance personnel can modify the configuration information of the AMF through the OAMS, the modified AMF configuration information can be written into a commonConfig table of a Mongolb database, and the modified configuration information of other types of network elements can also be written into the configuration table. When the network element starts configuration, initial configuration information in a configuration file corresponding to the core network element needs to be loaded preferentially, and then configuration information to be converted is loaded in a configuration table of a database, so that a new service requirement is sent by a base station through an adaptive terminal of the configuration information to be converted by using N2.
In the network element configuration update process shown in fig. 1, it is not possible to keep and visually monitor the historical configuration information, where the historical configuration information is configuration information used by the network element. Operation and maintenance personnel cannot quickly determine the abnormal updating condition of the network element configuration information, and cannot quickly restore the configuration state information of the current flow node to the historical configuration information, so that the operation and maintenance efficiency is low.
In view of the above problems, the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for monitoring a network element configuration state, as shown in fig. 3, network element configuration information to be converted in an AMF or an SMF may also be forwarded to a microservice of an AMF service by a microservice gateway through an OAMS, and the method manages the network element configuration information to be converted through a process engine, adds configuration state information to be converted, which is monitored in real time, to a configuration state information change process, and determines a change state of the configuration state information of a current process node when the configuration state information changes, that is, when currently used configuration information is converted into the configuration information to be converted, and displays the change state of the configuration state information on a visual interface. Through the scheme of the embodiment of the disclosure, the change state of the configuration state information can be displayed on the visual interface, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly position the abnormal situation of the network element configuration information update, and meanwhile, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly select the historical configuration information on the visual interface as the configuration information to be converted, thereby improving the operation and maintenance efficiency.
Fig. 4 is an architecture diagram of a network element configuration status monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the system includes a server 40 and a display 42. The server 40 monitors the configuration state information of the core network element through an internal process engine, and adds the monitored configuration state information to the configuration state information change process. When the configuration state information is changed, the server 40 determines the state transition information of the current process node in the configuration state information change process. The display end 42 may display a visual interface and display state transition information on the visual interface.
The server 40 may be one server, or may be a server cluster including a plurality of servers.
It should be understood that the number of servers 40 and display ends 42 in the system architecture shown in fig. 1 is merely exemplary, and that a greater or lesser number is within the scope of the present application. Also, in the above example operational scenario, the network for communication between the server 40 and the display end 42 may include various types of wired and wireless networks, such as, but not limited to: the internet, a Local Area network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a cellular communication network (General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a 2G/3G/4G/5G cellular network), a satellite communication network, and the like.
With the system architecture of the present disclosure understood, a detailed description is given to a scheme of the network element configuration status monitoring method of the present disclosure with reference to fig. 5.
Fig. 5 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a method for monitoring a network element configuration status according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the method may be implemented by any device that performs the method for monitoring a network element configuration status, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware. In this embodiment, the apparatus may be integrated in the server 40 as shown in fig. 4. As shown in fig. 5, the method for monitoring the network element configuration status provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
s50, monitoring the configuration state information of the core network element through a process engine, and adding the configuration state information into a configuration state information change process.
The process engine drives the business to circulate according to the preset process, and the use of the process engine can reduce the cost of designing the business and ensure the accuracy of business execution. The process engine may add the monitored configuration state information to the configuration state information change process. The core network element may be any network element that needs to load configuration information, for example: AMF, Session Management Function (SMF), Application Function (AF), and other network elements. The configuration state information of the core network element is the state of the configuration information, and the state of the configuration information can be the state of used configuration information, unused configuration information, used configuration information and the state of the configuration information with problems. The used configuration information is referred to as historical configuration information, the unused configuration information may be configuration information to be transformed, and the configuration information in use is current configuration information.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may invoke a business process model deployed in the process engine to monitor configuration status information of the core network elements. The service process model may be constructed according to an execution program of the configuration state information to be converted, so as to describe different paths of the normal process and the abnormal process for the input data, for example, in a form of a flow chart.
The process of generating a configuration state information change flow using the business process model will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 6.
Fig. 6 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of a process for generating a change of configuration state information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from fig. 6, the configuration state information change process includes the time of each process node, the version of the configuration state information, and the configuration information of the corresponding version. Taking the configuration status information of V1.1 version as an example, the time of the process node is 2021 year 8 month, the configuration status information of the process node is that V1.1 is used, and the configuration information is:
serviceNameList
supportTaiList
plmn1
plmn2
assuming that the historical configuration information includes the configuration state information of the V1.1, V1.2, V1.3 versions, and the configuration state information is used, after the configuration state information of the V1.1, V1.2, V1.3 versions is input into the business process model, the configuration state information transformation process of the V1.1, V1.2, V1.3 versions on different process nodes can be reconstructed into a deployable configuration state information transformation process.
In the process of generating the configuration state information change process by using the process engine in fig. 6, the transformation process of the configuration state information at different times can be reconstructed into a deployable business process model. The process can enable the core network element to fully utilize the cloud native architecture to realize flexible deployment service.
S52, when the configuration state information changes, determining the state conversion information of the current process node in the configuration state information change process.
Firstly, the state transition information is an update state and update data of the configuration state information, wherein the update state of the configuration state information may include a failure to update the configuration information, a success state to update the configuration information, a state of the configuration information to be transformed, and a state of the configuration information before transformation, and the process of changing the configuration state information is to transform the state of the configuration information before transformation into the state of the configuration information to be transformed. The update data may include node information of the current process node, and the node information may include a node Identity (ID) and a process variable entering the process node, where the process variable is a variable of the configuration information to be transformed relative to the configuration information being used. For the historical configuration information, the state transition information may also include the state and node IDs of the previous process node and the next process node.
Taking the configuration state information change flow shown in fig. 6 as an example, the current configuration state information is the configuration state information of V1.1, the configuration state information of V1.2 version is used, and the configuration state information of V1.3 version is used. At a certain moment when V1.3 is in use, the server receives the configuration information V1.4 to be transformed, and can determine that the configured state information is unused, and at this moment, the flow engine adds V1.4 received by the network element of the core network to the current flow node. If the configuration information of the current process node V1.3 version is converted into V1.4 configuration information, the update state of the network configuration information is that the update of the configuration information is successful, the state of the V1.4 configuration information is in use, the state of the V1.3 configuration information is in use, and the node information of the current process node, such as ID and process variable; if the configuration information of the V1.3 version at the current process node cannot be converted into the V1.4 configuration information, the update state of the network configuration information is failure to update the configuration information, the state of the V1.4 configuration information is that the configuration information has a problem, and the state of the V1.3 configuration information is in use.
The process engine comprises an Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) plug-in, and when the AOP monitors that the configuration state information changes, the configuration state information before the conversion of the current process node and the configuration state information to be converted are acquired and added to the configuration state information change process.
Specifically, the AOP may monitor the event, so as to monitor whether the configuration status information changes in real time. When the configuration state information is monitored to be changed, the acquired configuration state information before conversion and the configuration state information to be converted can be added to a configuration state information change flow.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the AOP monitors that the configuration state information changes, the state of the configuration information to be transformed of the current process node, the state of the configuration information before transformation, and the node information may be stored in the history data table.
Fig. 7 schematically illustrates a process of monitoring a change of configuration state information and storing a state of configuration information to be transformed of a current process node, a state of configuration information before transformation, and node information into a history data table according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 7, when the configuration state information to be converted accesses the configuration state information change process and is executed to a certain process node, the process node includes an authority authentication for entering the process node, the AOP monitors at least one of a pre-event entering the process node and a post-event leaving the process node to determine that the configuration state information has changed, then executes an internal event of the current process node, and stores the state of the configuration information to be converted of the current process node, the state of the configuration information before conversion, the node information, and the process variable into a history data table, where the process variable is the changed configuration information.
By adding the configuration state information into the configuration state information change process, historical configuration information of the current process node can be recorded, so that the historical configuration information can be displayed on a visual interface, and the operation and maintenance efficiency of operation and maintenance personnel is improved.
Next, when the configuration state information changes, a detailed description will be given of a state transition information process for determining a current process node in the configuration state information change process.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the process engine further includes a rule engine, where the rule engine includes a preset rule, and the rule engine performs anomaly detection on the configuration state information to be converted according to the preset rule in the rule engine, and determines state conversion information of a current process node in the configuration state information change process according to an anomaly detection result. And carrying out anomaly detection on the configuration state information to be transformed through a preset rule, and if the configuration state information to be transformed is detected to be normal, determining that the configuration information of the current process node is successfully updated. And if the configuration state information to be converted is abnormal, determining that the configuration information updating of the current process node fails.
Specifically, rule analysis may be performed on the configuration state information to be converted through a preset rule, and it is determined whether data that does not meet the preset rule exists in the configuration state information to be converted, so as to indicate whether to execute configuration state information conversion. For example, the operation and maintenance personnel may write a rule applicable to the configuration state transition of the network element in advance, that is, a preset rule, and then deploy the rule in the rule engine. When the configuration state information to be converted is input into the micro-service of the core network element, the configuration state information to be converted is added into the configuration state information change flow, and then a preset rule in the rule engine is called to perform rule analysis on the configuration state information to be converted so as to judge whether the configuration state information conversion flow on the current flow node is a normal flow.
The configuration state information to be converted is subjected to rule analysis through the preset rules in the rule engine, and whether the configuration state information to be converted is normally used or not can be quickly judged to adapt to new service requirements, so that operation and maintenance personnel can quickly determine the abnormal condition of the configuration state information conversion, and the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the configuration state information to be converted is normal, the core network element is controlled to perform configuration state information conversion, so as to determine that the configuration state information conversion of the current flow node is successful.
Illustratively, a preset rule in the rule engine performs rule analysis on the configuration state information to be converted, and determines that the configuration state information to be converted is normal, then a notification message allowing the configuration state information to be converted is sent to the server, and the server can control a core network element to perform the conversion of the configuration state information according to the notification message, where at this time, the update state of the configuration state information in the current flow node is the success of updating the configuration information.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if a preset rule performs rule analysis on configuration state information to be converted, and it is determined that the configuration state information to be converted is abnormal, a notification message of the abnormal configuration state information is sent to the server, and the server may refuse a core network element to perform conversion on the configuration state information, where at this time, an update state of the configuration state information in the current flow node is a failure to update the configuration information.
Under the condition of detecting that the configuration state information to be converted is normal, the core network element can be controlled to convert the configuration state information. The method can avoid the problem that the system cannot adapt to new service requirements caused by directly converting the configuration state information after receiving the abnormal configuration state information to be converted in some technologies, thereby influencing the working efficiency of the system.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the server controls the core network element to perform the conversion of the configuration state information, the configuration state information to be converted is transmitted to the configuration file, and at this time, only the configuration state information to be converted is stored in the configuration file. The network element only needs to load the configuration state information to be converted in the configuration file when loading the configuration information. The method avoids the situation that in some technologies, when the network element loads the configuration information, the initial configuration information in the configuration file needs to be loaded first, and then the configuration state information to be converted in the database needs to be loaded, so that the efficiency of the network element configuration updating process is improved.
And S54, displaying the state transition information on the visual interface.
Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display effect of a visual monitoring result according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 8, a configuration status information change process of 3 process nodes is visually displayed on a visual interface in a flowchart manner, where A, B, C, D in the process nodes are all configuration information of a network element.
As shown in fig. 8, assuming that the initial configuration information of the process node 1, the process node 2, and the process node 3 is B, when the process engine executes the process node 1, the developer inputs the configuration information a, and the server receives the configuration information a, acquires the configuration state information thereof, and adds the configuration state information to the process node 1. In the process of executing the configuration information conversion, the configuration information A and the configuration information B are compared, namely A + B is executed, and a preset rule in a rule engine is used for checking that the configuration state information of A is normal, so that the process of converting the configuration information from B to A is realized, namely A + B is output.
Similarly, when the process engine executes to the process node 2, the developer inputs the configuration information C, and the server receives the configuration information C and acquires the configuration state information of the configuration information C to add to the process node 2. And in the process of executing the configuration information conversion, comparing the configuration information C with the configuration information B, namely executing C + B, and at the moment, using a preset rule in a rule engine to check that the configuration information C is normal, so that the conversion of the output from A + B to the output C + B is realized.
When the process engine executes the process node 3, the developer inputs the configuration information D, and the server receives the configuration information D and acquires the configuration state information of the configuration information D and adds the configuration state information to the process node 3. And in the process of executing the configuration information conversion, comparing the configuration information D with the configuration information B, namely executing D + B, checking that the configuration information D is abnormal by using a preset rule in a rule engine, outputting the D + B on a visual interface, wherein the D + B is marked in a key way, and displaying that the V1.2 fails to be modified in a flow chart.
It should be understood that, when the configuration state information conversion is performed, only the different parts may be modified through comparison between configuration information, and the configuration information conversion may also be performed in a direct covering manner. The method can help operation and maintenance personnel to quickly position the situation of updating and modifying the configuration information on the visual interface, thereby improving the operation and maintenance efficiency.
In the technical solutions provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, configuration state information of a core network element is monitored by a process engine, and the configuration state information is added to a change process of the configuration state information; when the configuration state information changes, determining the state transition information of the current process node in the change process of the configuration state information; and displaying the state transition information on a visual interface. The method can convert the change process of the configuration state information into the change process of the configuration state information, and display the update state and the update data of the configuration state information of the process nodes on the visual interface when the configuration state information changes.
Through the method from step S50 to step S54, the configuration update process of the core network element, that is, the conversion process of the configuration state information, can be displayed on the visual interface, so that the state conversion information of the historical process nodes is also displayed on the visual interface.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to an operation of selecting a flow node on a visual interface, configuration state information on the flow node is used as configuration state information to be converted of a current flow node.
Taking fig. 6 as an example, assuming that a process node where the configuration state information of the V1.2 version is located is selected on a visual interface, the configuration state information of the V1.2 version is used as the configuration state information received by the server to initiate a service update request, and the process of converting the configuration state information of the V1.3 version implemented on the current process node into the configuration state information of the V1.2 version is performed. The method can quickly select the historical configuration state information displayed on the visual interface, and operation and maintenance personnel do not need to transmit the historical configuration state information to the server of the core network element through the OAMS again, so that the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved.
After the core network element converts the configuration state information into the configuration state information to be converted, the core network element sends a notification message to the radio access network, so that the radio access network acquires the configuration state information to be converted and performs service request processing of the terminal according to the configuration state information to be converted. Taking the example that the network element of the core network is AMF and the radio access network is NG-RAN as an example, fig. 9 schematically shows a configuration update flow according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 9, the configuration state information to be converted is sent to the server of the AMF service via the OAMS, and a request for configuration update is sent in step S91. The configuration update process is a process of converting the configuration state information. After the AMF performs the configuration update procedure, the configuration state information of the AMF update is transmitted to the NG-RAN, that is, the AMF configuration is updated in step S93. The NG-RAN receives the updated configuration status information of the AMF, updates the internal configuration status information to adapt to the service request of the terminal, and returns a configuration update confirmation to the AMF, i.e., the AMF configuration update confirmation in step S95. By the method, the network element of the core network can be synchronized to the wireless access network after the configuration and the update of the network element of the core network are completed, so that the service request of the terminal can be adapted.
It should be noted that although the various steps of the methods of the present disclosure are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that these steps must be performed in this particular order, or that all of the depicted steps must be performed, to achieve desirable results. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps combined into one step execution, and/or one step broken down into multiple step executions, etc.
