s5, acquiring data collection notification information sent by the UPF group; the data collection notification information is collected by the UPF group in response to the second subscription request.
In this embodiment, steps S1-S5 may be performed by NWDAF network elements in a communication core network, where the communication core network further includes NRF (Network Repository Function, network storage function) network elements, a plurality of SMF network elements, and a plurality of UPF network elements. The NWDAF network element and other network elements mentioned in this embodiment are not limited to the network element with the name under the current technical standard, and may be applied to the network element with other names and functions and the function of the network element such as the NWDAF network element that needs to be used in this embodiment, because the NWDAF, SMF and other names and combinations of network element functions may possibly change due to the development of the communication technology or the change of the technical standard.
The flow of steps S1-S3 is shown in FIG. 3.
The NWDAF network element may specifically perform the following steps when performing step S1, i.e. the step of discovering the SMF group:
s101, sending a discovery request to an NRF network element;
s102, triggering an NRF network element to discover a plurality of SMF network elements according to a discovery request;
s103, forming an SMF group by the discovered plurality of SMF network elements.
The principle of performing steps S101-S103 is that: in case the user terminal UE has not yet determined, which may be any terminal device accessing the communication core network, the way of discovering the SMF network element is different from in case the user terminal UE has determined to be a single terminal device; the present embodiment may deal with the former case, that is, in the case where the UE has not been determined, and may be any terminal device that has access to the communication core network, the NWDAF network element may classify the UE according to the characteristics of the UE, for example, for any plurality of UEs, if all of the UEs have the following characteristics related to the analytical ID: A. connect to the same application server IP address; B. to the same S-NSSAI; C. connected to the same DN; the user terminals UE may be classified into the same class, and the SMF network elements providing session services for the user terminals UE of this class may also be classified into the same class, and the NWDAF network element may request the NRF network element to discover the same kind of SMF network elements by sending a discovery request to the NRF network element, and join the same kind of SMF network elements discovered by the NRF network element into the same SMF group.
By performing steps S101-S103, the NWDAF network element may discover the SMF group through the NRF network element. As can be seen from the principle of steps S101-S103, the NRF network element may find a plurality of SMF groups, and the notification data collection method of the present embodiment has the same principle as that of processing a plurality of SMF groups, and in the present embodiment, one of the SMF groups is taken as an example.
By performing step S1, the found SMF group contains at least one SMF network element, which may be numbered 1-n, the SMF group being denoted as SMF1-n in fig. 3.
In this embodiment, each SMF network element in the SMF group shares data, specifically, each SMF network element in the SMF group may select to share all data, or may select to share specific data, and in the case of selecting to share all data, any SMF network element shares any type of obtained data to other SMF network elements in the SMF group; in the case of selecting to share specific data, any SMF network element shares the obtained specific type of data (e.g., the first subscription request and the data collection notification information in this embodiment) to other SMF network elements in the SMF group. Specifically, the shared data may be that any SMF network element sends the obtained data to other SMF network elements in the SMF group, or that any SMF network element after the obtained data, once does not send the obtained data directly to other SMF network elements, and sends the obtained data to other SMF network elements only when the other SMF network elements request.
By sharing data among SMF network elements in the SMF group, on one hand, greater flexibility can be provided for connection of the NWDAF network elements, time delay when the NWDAF network elements communicate with the SMF group is reduced, and on the other hand, the operation of the SMF group is prevented from being influenced by failure of individual SMF network elements, so that the whole SMF group is kept in a stable state.
In step S2, the NWDAF network element generates a first subscription request for subscribing to the data to be obtained, and sends the first subscription request to the SMF group. Specifically, the NWDAF network element may send the first subscription request to one or more SMF network elements in the SMF group.
In this embodiment, the first subscription request may specifically be in the form of an nsmf_eventExposure_subscore request.
In this embodiment, the first subscription request includes a parameter for determining the UPF network element, for example, an event ID disclosed by a UPF event, from which NWDAF network elements need to subscribe to data from which UPF network elements can be determined. The first subscription request may also include parameters of DNN, S-NSSAI, AOI, application IP address, APP ID, DNAI, etc.
When the NWDAF network element performs step S3, that is, triggers the SMF group to determine, according to the first subscription request, a UPF group for providing services to the user terminal, the following steps may be specifically performed:
s301, triggering each SMF network element in the SMF group, and determining UPF network elements for providing services for the user terminal according to the first subscription request;
s302, forming a UPF group by using UPF network elements determined by all SMF network elements in the SMF group.
In step S301, the NWDAF network element may send a first subscription request to one SMF network element in the SMF group, where the SMF network element that receives the first subscription request shares the first subscription request in the SMF group, and each SMF network element in the SMF group receives the first subscription request, and searches for a corresponding UPF network element according to the first subscription request.
In step S302, each SMF network element reports the found UPF network element to one SMF network element and/or NWDAF network element in the SMF group, and numbers all UPF network elements found by all SMF network elements to be 1-n, and in fig. 3, the SMF group is denoted as UPF1-n.
In this embodiment, each UPF network element in the UPF group shares data, specifically, each UPF network element in the UPF group may select to share all data, or may select to share specific data, and in the case of selecting to share all data, any one UPF network element shares any type of obtained data to other UPF network elements in the UPF group; in the case of selecting to share specific data, any UPF network element shares the obtained specific type of data (e.g., the second subscription request and the data collection notification information in this embodiment) to other UPF network elements within the UPF group. Specifically, the shared data may be that any one of the UPF network elements sends the obtained data to other UPF network elements in the UPF group, or that any one of the UPF network elements does not send the obtained data to other UPF network elements directly after the obtained data, and sends the obtained data to other UPF network elements only when the other UPF network elements request the obtained data.
By sharing data among the UPF network elements in the UPF group, on one hand, greater flexibility can be provided for connection of the SMF network elements, time delay when the SMF network elements communicate with the UPF group is reduced, and on the other hand, the phenomenon that the work of the UPF group is influenced due to failure of individual UPF network elements can be avoided, so that the UPF group is integrally kept in a stable state.
In step 4, the NWDAF network element triggers the SMF group to generate a second subscription request through the first subscription request sent in step S2 or the trigger information sent in addition.
In this embodiment, the second subscription request may specifically be in the form of a nupf_eventExposure_subscore request.
In this embodiment, the second subscription request includes a parameter for determining data to be collected, for example, an event ID indicating a type of data to be collected, from which it can be determined which data the UPF network element needs to collect. The second subscription request may further include parameters such as PDU session ID, NWDAF IP address, DNN, S-nsai, AOI, application IP address, APP ID, DNAI, etc., where the parameters such as DNN, S-nsai, AOI, application IP address, APP ID, DNAI, etc. may be extracted from the first subscription request by the SMF network element.
In step S4, the NWDAF network element triggers the SMF group (one or more SMF network elements therein) to send a second subscription request to the UPF group through the first subscription request sent in step S2 or the trigger information that is otherwise sent. Specifically, the SMF group may send a second subscription request to one or more UPF network elements in the UPF group.
When the NWDAF network element performs step S5, that is, the step of acquiring the data collection notification information sent by the UPF group, the following steps may be specifically performed:
s501, triggering each UPF network element in the UPF group, and acquiring notification messages according to the served user terminals according to the second subscription request respectively;
s502, triggering one UPF network element in the UPF group, integrating each notification message into data collection notification information, and sending the data collection notification information.
In step S501, each UPF network element in the UPF group may be triggered by the second subscription request or trigger information sent by the NWDAF network element or the SMF network element separately, and generate a notification message according to the served user terminal according to the second subscription request. Specifically, each UPF network element may collect data from a user terminal to which it is connected, and package the collected data to generate a notification message.
In step S502, each UPF network element in the UPF group may continue to step S501 without additional triggering, integrating each notification message into data collection notification information. Specifically, each UPF network element in the UPF group may share the notification message acquired by each of the UPF network elements to one of the UPF network elements, and the UPF network element packages all notification messages into data collection notification information.
After performing steps S501-S502, the data collection notification information may be directly sent to the NWDAF network element by the UPF group (one or more UPF network elements therein), so that the NWDAF network element directly receives the data collection notification information, thereby performing the network data analysis service. The notification messages acquired by the plurality of UPF network elements are integrated into one piece of data collection notification information, the plurality of UPF network elements are not required to respectively send the notification messages, occupation of network resources is reduced, the network resources can be used for necessary communication, and communication quality is guaranteed.
After the execution of steps S501-S502, the following steps may also be continued:
s503, triggering one SMF network element in the SMF group, receiving data collection notification information, and acquiring subscription information generated by each SMF network element in the SMF group;
s504, triggering one SMF network element in the SMF group, integrating each subscription information into data collection notification information, and sending the data collection notification information to the NWDAF network element.
In step S503, the UPF group (one or more UPF network elements therein) may send the data collection notification information to the SMF group, and the SMF group (one or more SMF network elements therein) may acquire subscription information generated by each SMF network element in the SMF group under the triggering of the data collection notification information. The subscription information generated by the SMF network element is information sent to the NWDAF network element by the SMF network element in response to the data subscription of the NWDAF network element, and the subscription information generated by the SMF network element may have no association relationship with the data collection notification information sent by the UPF group.
In step S504, the SMF network elements in the SMF group may continue to step S503 without additional triggering, and integrate subscription information of each SMF network element into the data collection notification information, where the new data collection notification information includes all information of the original data collection notification information and subscription information of each SMF network element. The SMF group (one or more of the SMF network elements) sends new data collection notification information to the NWDAF network element.
After executing steps S501-S504, the NWDAF network element may obtain the data collection notification information from the SMF group, and may analyze the notification information collected by each UPF network element and the subscription information of each SMF network element from the data collection notification information, so that the NWDAF network element performs network data analysis service according to the notification information collected by each UPF network element, and may perform other network services according to the subscription information. The notification messages acquired by the UPF network elements and the subscription information from the SMF network elements are integrated into one piece of data collection notification information, the UPF network elements and the SMF network elements are not required to respectively send information, occupation of network resources is reduced, the network resources can be used for necessary communication, and communication quality is guaranteed.
As shown in fig. 4, in the notification data collection method in this embodiment, a plurality of SMF network elements are organized into an SMF group, and a plurality of UPF network elements are organized into a UPF group, when an NWDAF network element needs to collect data, only a necessary request needs to be sent to the SMF group and/or the UPF group, and no request needs to be sent to each SMF network element and/or the UPF network element, and when the collected data is received, only data needs to be received from the SMF group and/or the UPF group, and no data needs to be received from each SMF network element and the UPF network element, thereby reducing the number of network elements faced when the NWDAF network element sends or receives the data, reducing the transmission process of the request and the notification data, reducing occupation of network resources, and being beneficial to improving the overall efficiency and communication quality of the communication network.
In this embodiment, NWDAF network elements capable of executing steps S1 to S5 and SMF network elements and UPF network elements in steps S1 to S5 may form a communication core network, and the notification data collection method in this embodiment may be applied to such a communication core network, and based on the principle of the notification data collection method, when the communication core network operates, the same technical effects as those of the notification data collection method may be achieved.
