After the first network element acquires the first knowledge graph, the first knowledge graph can be stored and processed locally, and the first knowledge graph can also be sent to other network elements.
The first knowledge-graph may include a knowledge-graph of a network, a knowledge-graph of a user, and a knowledge-graph of a business. When the first network element determines the target service information, the first network element can be combined with the knowledge graph of the network, the knowledge graph of the user and the knowledge graph of the service in the first knowledge graph to determine, so that the required resources can be allocated according to different user requirements and different faced service scenes, and the network service quality is maximized.
In specific implementation, the service in the first network element invokes the service of other network elements, the network element data warehouse function (NF Repository Function, NRF) can be firstly used for service discovery to obtain a service list of the invoked network element, or the service list of the invoked network element can be directly obtained from the first knowledge graph, wherein the service list comprises the service type, the service version and the like of the invoked network element. And then combining the first knowledge graph to determine the target service information.

The method comprises the following steps: the first network element needs to acquire the position of a taxi driver to determine the taxi nearest to the user position to perform platform dispatch. The service types listed in the service list of the network element a include location service, communication service, called service, and the like, wherein the location service corresponds to a plurality of service versions, positioning areas of different service versions are different, and positioning accuracy is also different. Firstly, the first network element can combine the first knowledge graph according to the requirement in the actual scene to determine that the service type is the position service, and then determine the service version according to the requirement on the positioning area and the positioning precision in the actual scene.
And 203, initiating a service call request to the service provider according to the target service information. The service provider is the invoked network element as described above.
In the embodiment of the application, the target service information is determined by acquiring the first knowledge graph of the first network element, based on the first knowledge graph, the target service information includes information for indicating the service provider, and a service call request is initiated to the service provider according to the target service information. In this way, by acquiring the first knowledge graph, the first network element can recognize network knowledge (network knowledge, namely, at least one of the knowledge graph of the network, the knowledge graph of the user and the knowledge graph of the service), or the first network element can receive the network knowledge from other network elements, so that the first network element can have autonomous mining capability, and the first network element processes the network knowledge in the first knowledge graph to determine target service information, so that the first network element can have the capability of understanding and solving the problem, and can autonomously perceive, analyze and judge the change of the network and the terminal user, thereby improving the intelligent degree of the network.
In order to enable the method provided by the present application to quickly sense the change of the surrounding environment (such as the change of the network and the change of the user), the network element function and the service are quickly and adaptively adjusted according to the changeable environment, optionally, after the first knowledge graph of the first network element is obtained, before the target service information is determined based on the first knowledge graph, the method further includes:
acquiring target information;
updating the first knowledge-graph based on the target information to obtain a second knowledge-graph;
the determining target service information based on the first knowledge graph includes:
and determining target service information based on the second knowledge graph.
In specific implementation, the target information is new information generated by environmental change, which does not exist in the initial first knowledge graph. Optionally, the target information includes at least one of:
information generated by the first network element in the service process;
a third knowledge graph of a second network element, wherein the second network element is other network elements except the first network element in the core network;
and the service list of the second network element comprises at least one of a service type and a service version supported by the second network element.
The method for acquiring the target information may be that the first network element actively sends an acquisition request to the second network element to acquire the target information, or that the first network element receives the target information that the second network element actively sends to the first network element.
The information generated by the first network element in the service process may be topology information of the newly added base station under the first network element, information of the newly added user under the first network element, AI model data in the communication service, and the like in the process of serving the first network element.
The third knowledge-graph of the second network element may include a knowledge-graph of the network, a knowledge-graph of the user, and a knowledge-graph of the service. The knowledge graph of the network comprises the functions of the second network element, the functions supported by the peripheral network elements of the second network element, the topology information of the network where the second network element is located, the rated load size supported by each network element in the network where the second network element is located, the user number segments which can be served, the network slice information of the second network element and the like. The knowledge graph of the user is like the subscription information of the user, the industry in which the user is located, the business habit preference and the like.
It should be appreciated that not all of the target information may facilitate the first network element in determining the target service information. Therefore, the first network element can screen the target information, and the information in the target information, which is helpful for the first network element to determine the target service information, is added into the first knowledge graph to obtain the second knowledge graph.
When the first network element is a CNF of the core domain, the target information includes base station topology information (location of the base station, connection relationship between the base station and the base station, and between the base station and the core network) in the CNF of the first edge sub-domain, capability information supported by the base station, and load information of the base station, the first network element refines the base station topology information, the capability list, and the load information of the base station having an adjacent relationship with the network element in the core domain in the target information, and discards the base station topology information, the capability list, and the load information of the base station having an adjacent relationship with the network element in the core domain, and stores the base station topology information, the capability list, and the load information of the base station having an adjacent relationship with the network element in the core domain in the first knowledge graph, to obtain the second knowledge graph.
In the embodiment of the application, the target service information is determined by acquiring the target information, updating the first knowledge graph based on the target information, acquiring the second knowledge graph and based on the second knowledge graph. The method can cope with complex and changeable scenes, can still perform flexible perception and autonomous decision under the complex and changeable scenes, enables the first network element to provide personalized service contents for terminal equipment or users under different conditions, and can achieve the purposes of improving service quality and user experience at a transmission layer and an application layer.
In order to improve the service quality of the network element of the whole network, optionally, after the target information is acquired, the method further includes:
transmitting the target message to a second network element when the target information comprises information related to the second network element, wherein the second network element is other network elements except the first network element in a core network;
wherein the information related to the second network element comprises at least one of:
topology information of a base station having a communication relationship with the second network element;
topology information of a network element having a communication relationship with the second network element;
information of a user having a communication relationship with the second network element;
information about services supported by the second network element.
And the second network element receives the target information and updates a third knowledge graph of the second network element based on the target information. Therefore, the second network element can determine the target service information based on the updated third knowledge graph, and the service quality of the second network element is improved, so that the service quality of the whole network is improved.
For example, the first network element is a CNF of the core domain, and a base station is newly added under the first network element, where the base station may belong to the following two cases: case one: the base station provides service for public users; and a second case: the base station provides services to the industry, e.g. a certain factory only allows users in the factory to access the base station. The target information includes information such as load and capability related to the base station, and if the information is the case 1, the target information needs to be sent to CNFs of the first edge sub-domain and the second edge sub-domain, where the second network element is a CNF of the first edge sub-domain or the second edge sub-domain. Because the public users may switch from the base station under the first edge subzone or the base station under the second edge subzone to the newly added base station, when the second network element needs to initiate a service call request to the service provider, the information about the load, the capacity and the like of the newly added base station may need to be used to determine the target service information. If it is case 2, the target information does not need to be sent to the CNFs of the first edge sub-field and the second edge sub-field, and the second network element is the CNF of the first edge sub-field or the second edge sub-field. Because the newly added base station only serves specific users, the first edge subdomain and the second edge subdomain are completely invisible, namely, when the second network element needs to initiate a service call request to the service provider, the information of the relevant load, capacity and the like of the newly added base station is not needed to determine target service information.
In the embodiment of the application, the target information is sent to the second network element under the condition that the target information comprises information related to the second network element, so that the second network element can update the third knowledge graph of the second network element based on the target information, the second network element can timely sense the change of the network and the terminal user, the second network element can analyze and judge based on the updated third knowledge graph, the target service information is determined, and a service call request is initiated to the service provider according to the target service information, so that the intelligent degree of the network is improved.
When the first network element determines the target service information based on the first knowledge graph, if information beyond the first knowledge graph is also needed, the information can be actively acquired. Optionally, before determining the target service information based on the first knowledge graph, the method further includes:
sending a first request to a second network element, wherein the first request is used for requesting to acquire a third knowledge graph of the second network element, and the second network element is other network elements except the first network element in a core network;
receiving a third knowledge graph sent by the second network element;
the determining target service information based on the first knowledge graph includes:
and determining the target service information based on the first knowledge-graph and the third knowledge-graph.
In specific implementation, whether to send a first request for requesting to acquire a third knowledge graph of the second network element to the second network element needs to be determined according to a specific scene. If the first network element needs to determine the location information of the B-zone user, but the first knowledge graph does not include the number for identifying the B-zone user, and the B-zone user number is stored in the third knowledge graph of the second network element, the first request for requesting to acquire the third knowledge graph of the second network element is first sent to the second network element, and the second network element receives the first request and sends the third knowledge graph to the first network element. The first network element reads the B-zone user number from the third knowledge graph, and obtains the position information of the B-zone user based on the B-zone user number.
The first network element sends a first request for requesting to acquire a third knowledge graph of the second network element to the second network element, and the target service information is determined based on the first knowledge graph and the third knowledge graph, so that the first network element can actively acquire the required information for determining the target service under the condition that the information of the existing knowledge graph is insufficient, and the intelligent degree of the network is further improved.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a second flowchart of a network element service method according to an embodiment of the present application. The network element service method shown in fig. 4 may be performed by the second network element.
As shown in fig. 4, a network element service method may include the following steps:
Optionally, after step 301, the method further comprises:
receiving target information;
and updating the third knowledge-graph based on the target information.
Optionally, after the step 301, before the step 302, the method further includes:
and receiving a first request, wherein the first request is used for requesting to acquire a third knowledge-graph of the second network element.
It should be noted that, this embodiment serves as an implementation manner of the second network element corresponding to the embodiment of the method of fig. 3, so that reference may be made to the description related to the embodiment of the method of fig. 3, and the same beneficial effects may be achieved.
