本申请基于申请号为201710526189.1、申请日为2017年06月30日的中国专利申请提出，并要求该中国专利申请的优先权，该中国专利申请的全部内容在此引入本申请作为参考。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，具体而言，涉及一种商务特性数据上报方法及装置、网络切片编排方法及装置、存储介质。
背景技术
在无线通讯系统的管理领域，为了提高通讯网络的灵活性，降低管理成本，由运营商发起提出了网络功能虚拟化(Network Functions Virtualization，简称为NFV)概念。图1是相关技术中网络功能虚拟化参考架构示意图，在使用NFV技术的情况下，原来的物理网元设备由虚拟化网络功能(Virtualization Network Functions，简称为VNF)代替，使得网络功能与具体硬件解耦，如图1所示，VNF与底层的网络功能虚拟化基础架构(Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure，简称为NFVI)隔离。其中，VNF的生命周期管理功能则通过VNF管理器(VNF manager，简称为VNFM)完成。底层的虚拟基础架构由虚拟基础架构管理器(Virtualization Infrastructure manager，简称为VIM)进行管理。而具体的网络业务，则一般通过一个或多个VNF实例来完成。对网络业务的管理，则通过NFV编排器(Network Functions Virtualization Orchestrator，简称为NFVO)来进行。
在网络虚拟化的基础上，第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation  Partnership Project，简称为3GPP)提供了5G的新的架构，支持数据连接和服务，使部署能够使用网络功能虚拟化(NFV)，来满足5G的网络要求。如图2所示(参考3GPP 23799)，网络切片是5G的一个重要组成部分。所谓网络切片，主要是指由一组网络功能(包含支持这些网络功能的网络资源)组成的具有特定的网络特性的实例化的逻辑网络，该逻辑网络用于满足某一类特定网络业务的需求，其中，网络特性数据指和NF的服务能力相关的特性数据，比如：超低延时、超高可靠性等；网络切片是根据网络切片蓝图(网络切片蓝图是指一个完整的定义，用于描述网络切片实例的结构、配置、工作流，根据网络切片蓝图的定义完成网络切片的实例化及其生命周期的控制管理)进行实例化而获得的，因此也称为网络切片实例。也就是说，不同的网络切片是为了满足不同类型的应用的需求，所以一般具有不同的性能要求。如图3所示，存在A/B/C三个网络切片，其中每个网络切片中的NF各自具备独立的网络特性或网络能力，比如：NF部署的位置，网络的带宽，时延，抖动，丢包率等参数，下文统一称之为NF的网络特性；除了网络特性以外还有一些和NF商务相关的数据，比如NF的纯软件价格，纯软件服务生命周期；NF的部署位置，NF的部署硬件租用关系，部署硬件租用价格，部署硬件租用生命周期等，下文统一称之为NF的商务特性。
如下表1所示，某运营商在初级运营阶段受投入资金限制，只在地区2具备自己的硬件基础设施(NFVI)，在地区1和地区3都是租用第三方硬件来部署相关NF，以后随着资金的不断充裕，会逐步到地区1和地区3扩建自己的硬件资源，并且会替换掉地区1和地区3的硬件，假设当前的一部分NF的网络特性和成商务特性如下表所示：
表1部分NF的网络特性和成商务特性
Figure PCTCN2018088276-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2018088276-appb-000002
现在地区2有一家供电公司要向该运营商租用网络，用于抄电表服务，假设只关注UPF(NF)的网络特性数据，很明显高时延，低带宽的网络UPF1就可以满足这种服务，运营商可以复用现有的网络切片A向这家供电公司提供服务。但现实情况是UPF1的硬件租用需要一定成本，且租用周期也短，如果租期到了，而且运营商不想续约，那么将来还要面对硬件变更的风险。所以在切片编排时，NF的商务也需要充分考虑进去，如图4所示，地区2的UPF2-2(图中的SMF2-2和UPF2-2可以是已有的NF，也可以是马上要新建的NF)既符合网络特性要求(高时延，低带宽)又符合部署成本低的要求，因此将SMF2-2、UPF2-2和其他共享NF组合创建一个全新的网络切片D为这家供电公司服务，这才是当前对运营商最合理的编排部署。
如上所述，创建新的网络切片，或者复用已有的网络切片，都属于对网络切片的编排工作，由切片编排系统负责完成，切片编排系统可以是运营支撑系统(Operations support system，OSS)的一部分功能，也可以业务支撑系统(Business support system，BSS)的一部分功能，也可以是其他网络管理系统NMS的一部分功能，还可以是一个独立的网络管理系统，下文统称“切片编排系统”。当运营商面临供电公司网络租用需求时，切片编排系统不仅需要知道NF的网络特性数据，而且也需要知道NF的商务特性数据。只有在结合这两方面的数据，编排出来的切片才能既符合租户(供电公司)的要求，又能符合运营商节约部署成本的利益。
但是，相关技术中切片编排系统无法知晓NF的商务特性，导致编排出来的切片无法保证运营商节约部署成本。
