Description

一种业务管理的方法、装置及存储介质
本申请要求于2017年8月11日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710687787.7、发明名称为“一种业务管理的方法、装置及存储介质”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种业务管理的方法、装置及存储介质。
背景技术
为满足不同行业、不同业务、不同用户对网络的业务需求,运营商一般将网络提前分割成不同的网络切片以满足不同的业务需求,从而提供差异化的通信服务。部署业务时,该业务是否使用切片网络都是预先确定的,使用切片网络的业务部署采用切片管理系统,使用非切片网络的业务部署采用非切片管理系统,切片管理系统和非切片管理系统相互独立。
未来的业务可能有些由切片网络提供,有些由非切片网络提供,所以运营商为适应多样化业务共存,一般采用切片网络和非切片网络共存的混合网络提供多样化的业务服务。由于有新的业务上线时,需要人工预先判断业务是否用切片网络来实现,无法满足业务的快速上线需求。此外,现有的切片网络架构中,一个业务管理单元可以向多个切片管理单元发送切片请求消息,但是业务管理单元无法准确的选择适合承载新业务的切片管理单元,整个业务部署效率较低。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种业务管理的方法、装置及存储介质,能够解决现有机制中基于切片网络部署业务的部署效率较低的问题。
本申请实施例一方面提供一种业务管理的方法,所述方法用于业务管理系统,所述业务管理系统包括业务管理单元和至少一个第一网络管理单元,所述方法主要包括以下步骤:

所述业务需求信息至少可包括以下参数之一:业务等级、业务类型、租户等级、隔离需求、吞吐量、覆盖范围、用户数、时延需求、业务服务质量、业务安全等级、租户标识或业务标识。其中,所述业务标识可以指示所述业务的业务类型,所述租户标识对应租户等级。
所述业务管理单元接收到所述业务管理请求后,可根据所述网络类型指示信息或所述业务需求信息确定目标网络类型,所述目标网络类型包括切片网络或非切片网络。例如,当业务管理请求包括网络类型指示信息时,业务管理单元可根据网络类型指示信息确定所述目标网络类型是切片网络或者非切片网络。当业务管理请求包括业务需求信息时,业务管理单元可根据业务需求信息确定所述目标网络类型是切片网络或者非切片网络。
现有机制中,需要单独的两套管理系统对切片网络和非切片网络分别进行管理,并且无法迅速的判断业务是否需要使用切片网络,而本申请提供的方案中,业务管理单元接收到携带网络类型指示信息和业务需求信息的业务管理请求后,即可根据所述网络类型指示 信息确定为所述业务提供服务的网络类型是否为切片网络,这样就减少人工判断的工作量,以便于后续业务管理单元能够有针对性的、准确地根据确定出的网络类型去执行相应的流程,能优化业务接入管理和提高业务部署效率。并且业务管理单元可以针对切片网络和非切片网络都分别进行业务接入管理,管理集中化。

在接收到网络请求后,所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息为业务分配或创建满足所述网络需求信息的网络切片。
然后,所述第一网络管理单元向所述管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送网络请求响应,所述网络请求响应用于指示所述第一网络管理单元具备承载所述业务的能力。使得管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)能够根据网络请求响应确定出具有承载业务的能力的网络管理单元。
在一些可能的设计中,所述第一网络管理单元接收所述管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送的网络请求之后,所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息为业务分配或创建满足所述网络需求信息的网络切片之前,所述方法还包括:
所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息和所述第一网络管理单元当前的网络能力信息确定自身是否具备承载所述业务的能力。
若确定自身具备承载所述业务的能力,则所述第一网络管理单元向所述管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送所述网络请求响应。通过这种判断机制和反馈机制,能够为管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)提供准确的信息,以使管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)有针对性的选择合适的第一网络管理单元为业务提供网络切片。
在一些可能的设计中,所述第一网络管理单元接收所述业务管理单元发送的网络能力请求,所述网络能力请求用于获取所述第一网络管理单元当前的网络能力信息。
所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络能力请求向所述管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送网络能力请求响应,所述网络能力请求响应携带所述第一网络管理单元标识、以及所述第一网络管理单元当前的网络能力信息。通过向管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)实时反馈自身的网络能力信息,使得当有需要切片网络实现的业务需要接入时,管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)能够准确的、有针对性的去选择合适的第一网络管理单元。
在一些可能的设计中,所述网络能力信息包括以下项中的至少一项:网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息。由于网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息能够真实、准确的反映第一网络管理单元当前的真实业务能力,所以向管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)提供网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息,业务管理单元能够更准确的选择适合承载业务的第一网络管理单元。
本申请实施例又一方面提供一种业务管理的方法,所述方法包括:
第二网络管理单元接收业务管理单元发送的网络管理请求,所述网络管理请求中携带网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息。
其中,所述网络类型指示信息可用于指示目标网络类型。
可选的,所述网络需求信息至少包括以下项中的至少一项:

现有机制中,需要单独的两套管理系统对切片网络和非切片网络分别进行管理,并且无法迅速的判断业务是否需要使用切片网络,而本申请提供的方案中,第二网络管理单元接收到携带网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息的网络管理请求后,即可根据所述网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息确定目标网络类型是否为切片网络,这样就减少人工判断的工作量,能优化业务接入管理和提高业务部署效率。
下面对根据网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息确定目标网络类型的两种主要的方式进行说明:
一、所述第二网络管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息确定目标网络类型。
具体来说,若所述网络类型指示信息指示的网络类型为切片网络,则所述第二网络管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。
若所述网络类型指示信息指示的网络类型为非切片网络,则所述第二网络管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为非切片网络。
可见,第二网络管理单元可以直接根据网络类型指示信息,就能准确的、迅速的判断出业务是否需要使用切片网络,以便后续流程中有针对性的为业务提供对应的服务,从而提高业务管理效率。

举例来说,所述第二网络管理单元根据网络类型与网络需求信息之间的关联关系、以及所述网络需求信息确定目标网络类型为切片网络,可包括如下至少一种实现方式:
若所述目标网络的时延需求低于预设时延,则所述业务管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。
若所述目标网络需要接入的用户数为需要切片网络实现的用户数,则所述业务管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。例如可预定义用户数高于预设用户数的业务需要使用切片网络。
网络的安全需求可以网络安全等级来表示,若所述目标网络的网络安全等级为需要切片网络实现的网络安全等级,则所述业务管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。例如可预定义网络安全等级高于预设网络安全等级的业务需要使用切片网络。
网络的隔离需求可以网络隔离等级来表示,若所述目标网络的网络隔离等级为需要切片网络实现的网络隔离等级,则所述业务管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。例如可预定义网络隔离等级高于预设网络隔离等级的业务需要使用切片网络。

若所述目标网络的服务质量为需要切片网络实现的服务质量,则所述业务管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。例如可预定义服务质量高于预设服务质量需要使用切片网络。
可见,本申请中的第二网络管理单元可以直接根据网络需求信息中的一种或两种以上参数值,以及网络类型与网络需求信息之间的关联关系,就能准确的、迅速的判断出业务是否需要使用切片网络,以便后续流程中有针对性的为业务提供对应的服务,从而提高业务管理效率。
在一些可能的设计中,当所述第二网络管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息或所述网络需求信息确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络后,所述第二网络管理单元还可以向至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送网络请求,所述网络请求携带根据所述网络需求信息。

在一些可能的设计中,所述第二网络管理单元从至少一个第一网络管理单元中确定出所述目标网络管理单元之前,所述第二网络管理单元还可以向至少一个第一网络管理单元发送网络能力请求,所述网络能力请求用于获取所述至少一个第一网络管理单元当前的网络能力信息。需要说明的是,本申请中不对发送网络能力请求的时序进行限定。
可选的,所述网络能力请求具体指示第一网络管理单元反馈自身当前的部分或全部网络能力信息,网络能力信息包括以下项中的至少一项:网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片 实例信息和网络切片模板信息。
由于网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息能够真实、准确的反映各第一网络管理单元当前的真实业务能力,所以通过向第二网络管理单元提供网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息,使得第二网络管理单元能够更准确的选择适合承载业务的网络管理单元。
相应的,所述第二网络管理单元接收所述至少一个第一网络管理单元发送的网络能力请求响应,每个所述网络能力请求响应携带第一网络管理单元标识、以及与第一网络管理单元标识对应的网络能力信息。
然后,所述第二网络管理单元就可以根据接收到的至少一个所述网络能力请求响应分别更新本地存储的各第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息。
具体来说,所述第二网络管理单元根据所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中各网络管理单元的网络能力信息,从所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中确定出满足所述业务的业务需求的目标网络管理单元。

具体实施方式
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或模块的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或模块,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或模块,本申请中所出现的模块的划分,仅仅是一种逻辑上的划分,实际应用中实现时可以有另外的划分方式,例如多个模块可以结合成或集成在另一个系统中,或一 些特征可以忽略,或不执行,另外,所显示的或讨论的相互之间的耦合或直接耦合或通信连接可以是通过一些接口,模块之间的间接耦合或通信连接可以是电性或其他类似的形式,本申请中均不作限定。并且,作为分离部件说明的模块或子模块可以是也可以不是物理上的分离,可以是也可以不是物理模块,或者可以分布到多个电路模块中,可以根据实际的需要选择其中的部分或全部模块来实现本申请方案的目的。
本申请实施例供了一种业务管理的方法、装置及存储介质,本申请实施例基于端到端网络切片技术,主要应用于企业对企业(英文全称:business to business,英文简称:B2B)、消费者对消费者(英文全称:customer to customer,英文简称:C2C)业务、车联网业务、增强移动宽带(英文全称:enhanced mobile broadband,英文简称:eMBB)业务、机器类通信(英文全称:machine type communication,英文简称:MTC)业务、增强机器类通信(英文全称:enhanced machine type communication,英文简称:eMTC)业务、大规模机器类通信(英文全称:massive machine type communication,英文简称:mMTC)业务、物联网(英文全称:internet of things,英文简称:IOT)业务或者超可靠低时延通信(英文全称:ultra reliable&low latency communication,英文简称:URLLC)业务等通信业务。以下进行详细说明。
网络切片是指从管理面上单独管理端到端的网络切片,即网络切片是指保证承载业务能达成服务水平协议(英文全称:service level requirement,英文简称:SLR)要求的通信资源,这些通信资源可以按不同需求,进行硬隔离(物理隔离),也可以软隔离(逻辑隔离)。可以认为一个网络切片是完成某个或某些业务所需的网络功能及资源的组合,网络切片是一个完整的逻辑网络。网络切片可满足不同行业、不同的租户对网络的特殊需求,需要分别为每个租户分配不同的网络切片,通过切片使得每个租户之间完全隔离。
业务是指一组用户能享有的指定SLR的通信业务,如MBB、语音、IOT、智能停车和智能抄表等,也可以称为租户业务。
租户是指运营商网络的租用者。比如电力公司租用运营商的网络部署智能抄表业务,那么可以认为电力公司为运营商的一个租户。一个租户可以对应多个用户,例如,一个电力公司会向多个用户提供用电服务。
图1和图2为本申请实施例的两种系统架构示意图。图1中,业务管理单元(英文全称:communication service management function,英文简称:CSMF)或者网络管理单元(英文全称:network management,英文简称:NM)接收业务管理请求,该业务管理请求用于指示业务的网络类型,当确定该租户业务的网络类型为切片网络时,则CSMF或NM可以向选中的切片管理单元发送切片请求,然后由切片管理单元为该租户业务分配或创建合适的网络切片,并反馈给CSMF或NM。其中,为便于网络切片的管理,被选中的切片管理单元还可以是跨域的网络切片管理单元(英文全称:network slice management function,英文简称:NSMF),该NSMF可以向其下辖的子网络切片管理单元(英文全称:network slice subnet management function,英文简称:NSSMF)发送切片请求,使得这些NSSMF为该租户业务分配合适的网络切片。
图2中,CSMF接收业务管理请求,CSMF根据该业务管理请求向NM发送网络管理请求;NM接收该网络管理请求,该网络管理请求用于指示业务的网络类型;当确定该租户业务的 网络类型为切片网络时,则NM可以向选中的NSMF发送切片请求,然后由这些NSMF为该租户业务分配或创建合适的网络切片,并反馈给NM。其中,为便于网络切片的管理,被选中的NSMF还可以向其下辖的NSSMF发送切片请求,使得这些NSSMF为该租户业务分配合适的网络切片。
需要说明的是,CSMF,NM,NSMF是逻辑功能单元,对应的实体本申请不作限定。
为解决上述技术问题,本申请主要提供以下技术方案:
在切片网络和非切片网络共存的情况下,业务管理单元可根据租户业务管理单元提供的业务信息(可以包括网络类型指示信息和业务需求信息)自动判断当前选择切片网络还是非切片网络。并且业务管理单元还可以基于第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息去选择当前适合为租户业务提供切片网络的第一网络管理单元。

301、所述管理单元接收业务管理请求。
其中,所述业务管理请求包括网络类型指示信息和业务需求信息。在一些实施方式中,所述网络类型指示信息用于指示为业务提供服务的网络类型,例如可以通过直接指示“indicator=1”时表示该业务需要使用切片网络,通过指示“indicator=0”时表示该业务需要使用非切片网络。或者还可以通过直接指示“indicator=Y”时表示该业务需要使用切片网络,通过指示“indicator=N”时表示该业务需要使用非切片网络。
在一些实施方式中,业务需求信息可以包括:业务等级、业务类型、租户等级、隔离需求、吞吐量、覆盖范围、用户数、时延需求、业务服务质量、业务安全等级、租户标识或业务标识等。其中,所述业务标识可以指示所述业务的业务类型,所述租户标识对应租户等级。
302、所述管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息和业务需求信息确定目标网络类型。
所述网络类型是指切片网络或非切片网络,即所述管理单元可以根据所述网络类型指示信息和业务需求信息确定目标网络类型是切片网络还是非切片网络。
在本申请的一些实施例中,当所述管理单元包括业务管理单元和第二网络管理单元时,步骤301中的业务管理请求由所述网络需求信息接收,可由业务管理单元或者第二网络管理单元去确定所述目标网络类型。
一种实施方式中,业务管理单元接收到业务管理请求后,由业务管理单元根据业务管理请求中携带的网络类型指示信息或业务需求信息确定所述目标网络类型。
一种实施方式中,业务管理单元接收到业务管理请求后,将其中的业务需求信息转换为网络需求信息,然后向第二网络管理单元发送网络管理请求,由网络管理单元根据网络管理请求中携带的网络类型指示信息或所述网络需求信息去确定所述目标网络类型。其中,所述网络需求信息至少包括以下项中的至少一项:

该网络请求中携带网络参数信息。
404、目标网络管理单元根据网络参数信息为业务分配满足该网络参数信息的网络切片,并向业务管理单元返回网络请求响应。
所述业务管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息确定目标网络类型,可包括如下至少一种实现方式:
若所述网络类型指示信息指示的目标网络类型为切片网络,则所述业务管理单元确定目标网络类型为切片网络。

又例如,所述业务需求信息中的业务类型为eMBB业务、MTC业务、eMTC业务、mMTC 业务、IOT业务或者URLLC业务等特定业务时,则业务管理单元可以判断所述业务需要使用切片网络。

具体来说,若所述网络类型指示信息指示的网络类型为切片网络,则所述第二网络管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络。
若所述网络类型指示信息指示的网络类型为非切片网络,则所述第二网络管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为非切片网络。
可见,第二网络管理单元可以直接根据网络类型指示信息,就能准确的、迅速的判断出业务是否需要使用切片网络,以便后续流程中有针对性的为业务提供对应的服务,从而提高业务管理效率。
(2)所述第二网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息确定目标网络类型。

可选的,在一些本申请的一些实施例中,在所述管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或所述第二网络管理单元)确定目标网络类型之后,所述管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或所述第二网络管理单元)还可以选择合适的第一网络管理单元为该业务分配网络切片实例(英文全称:network slice instance,英文简称:NSI),即下述步骤303所示的操作。
303、当所述管理单元确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络后,所述业务管理单元向所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送网络请求。
其中,所述网络请求携带根据所述网络需求信息。
当目标网络类型由业务管理单元确定时,在所述业务管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息或所述业务需求信息确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络后,由所述业务管理单元向至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送网络请求。
当目标管理单元由第二网络管理单元确定时,在所述第二网络管理单元根据所述网络类型指示信息或所述网络需求信息确定所述目标网络类型为切片网络后,由所述第二网络管理单元向至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送网络请求。
其中,所述网络请求用于指示所述目标网络管理单元根据所述网络参数信息为所述业务分配满足所述网络参数信息的网络切片。
同样,在所述管理单元确定目标网络类型为非切片网络之后,所述管理单元还可以向所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送网络请求。该网络请求也携带网络需求信息,以指示目标网络管理单元为所述业务分配满足所述网络需求信息的目标网络。
304、目标网络管理单元根据所述网络参数信息为所述业务分配满足所述网络参数信息的网络切片,并向管理单元返回网络管理请求响应。
该网络管理请求响应用于告知管理单元:目标网络管理单元可以为该业务分配合适的网络切片。
相较于现有机制,本申请提供的方案中,业务管理单元接收到携带网络类型指示信息或业务需求信息的业务管理请求后,即可根据所述网络类型指示信息或业务需求信息确定目标网络类型是否为切片网络;或者,第二网络管理单元接收到携带网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息的网络管理请求后,即可根据所述网络类型指示信息或网络需求信息确定目标网络类型是否为切片网络这样就减少人工判断的工作量,以便于后续管理单元(业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)能够有针对性的、准确地根据确定出的网络类型去执行相应的流程,能优化业务接入管理和提高业务部署效率。并且相较于现有机制中,需要单独的两套管理系统对切片网络和非切片网络分别进行管理,并且无法迅速的判断业务是否需要使用切片网络,本申请实施例中的业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元可以针对切片网络和非切片网络都分别进行业务管理,管理集中化。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,在所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元确定目标网络类型为切片网络后,以及向所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中的目标网络管理单元发送携带所述业务需求信息的网络请求之前,所述业务管理单元还可以从至少一个第一网络管理单元中确定出目标网络管理单元,所述目标网络管理单元具备承载所述业务的能力。在确定出目标网络管理单元后,所述业务管理单元就可以分别向这些目标网络管理单元发送 网络请求。一些实施方式中,管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)可根据本地存储的第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息去确定目标网络管理单元。管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)获取网络能力信息可以是周期性获取,也可以是事件触发,具体本申请实施例不作限定。
可选的,由业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元确定出的目标网络管理单元的数目可以是一个或者两个以上。其中,网络能力信息可包括以下项中的至少一项:
网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息。
其中,网络切片实例能力信息可以包括两类信息:
第一类:该第一网络管理单元已有的、可用的网络切片实例能力信息;
第二类:该第一网络管理单元根据自身维护的网络切片模板信息新创建的网络切片实例能力信息。具体来说,网络切片实例能力信息至少可包括以下参数之一:时延、贷款、优先级、安全等级、业务可靠性、用户体验速率、位置信息、以及可以承载的用户数等参数。
网络切片模板信息包括一个或两个以上的参数。
网络切片实例信息根据网络切片模板信息生成,比如网络切片模板信息中包括时延这一项参数,那么可以对应生成一个网络切片实例,该实例网络切片实例可支持的时延则为该网络切片实例中的时延。
由于网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息能够真实、准确的反映第一网络管理单元当前的真实业务能力,所以向业务管理单元提供网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息,业务管理单元能够更准确的选择适合承载业务的第一网络管理单元。
可见,通过采用该方式去选择目标网络管理单元,能够提高分配切片网络的处理效率。管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)还可以首先判断当前有能力为该业务提供切片网络服务的第一网络管理单元,从而减少消息的发送,也能够有针对性的、准确地、快速的选择出合适的目标网络管理单元,从而能够提高业务部署的效率。
在确定出目标网络管理单元后,管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)就可以分别向这些目标网络管理单元发送上述网络请求。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,为提高分配切片网络的处理效率,业务管理单元还可以首先判断当前有能力为该业务提供切片网络服务的第一网络管理单元,从而减少消息的发送,也能够快速的选择出合适的目标网络管理单元。
具体来说,所述业务管理单元还可以向至少一个第一网络管理单元发送网络能力请求,所述网络能力请求用于指示接收到所述网络能力请求的网络管理单元反馈当前的网络能力信息。其中,所述网络能力请求具体指示网络管理单元反馈自身当前的部分或全部网络能力信息。所述网络能力请求具体指示网络管理单元反馈自身当前的部分或全部网络能力信息,网络能力信息包括网络切片实例能力信息和网络切片实例信息。
所述至少一个第一网络管理单元向管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送网络能力请求响应,每个所述网络能力请求响应都可携带网络管理单元标识、以及与网络管理单元标识对应的网络能力信息。
管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)接收所述至少一个第一网络管理单元发送的网络能力请求响应后,根据接收到的至少一个所述网络能力请求响应分别更新本地存储的各第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息。
管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)在更新本地存储的网络能力信息后,可根据所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中各网络管理单元的网络能力信息,从所述至少一个第一网络管理单元中确定出满足所述业务的业务需求的网络管理单元,满足所述业务的业务需求的网络管理单元是指所述目标网络管理单元。
可见,一方面中,第一网络管理单元通过向管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)实时反馈自身的网络能力信息,使得当有需要切片网络实现的业务需要接入时,管理单元(包括所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)可以通过根据每个第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息即可快速、准确的判断出合适的目标网络管理单元,有效的提高业务接入的处理效率,减少用户的等待时长。另一方面中,由于网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息能够真实、准确的反映各第一网络管理单元当前的真实业务能力,所以通过向管理单元提供网络切片实例能力信息、网络切片实例信息和网络切片模板信息,使得管理单元能够更准确的选择适合承载业务的目标网络管理单元,进而提高业务处理效率。
需要说明的是,本申请中,所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元获取网络能力信息可以是周期性获取,也可以是由事件触发获取。
(1)周期性获取
所述业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元更新本地存储的网络能力信息可以发生在整个业务流程的任何时间段。例如可定义CSMF/NM周期性的去触发向NSMF发送上述网络能力请求,以获取最新的网络切片能力信息。
(2)由事件触发获取
例如,当有新的业务请求时,触发CSMF/NM向NSMF发送上述网络能力请求。
若CSMF请求NSMF反馈NSMF的时延能力,则NSMF返回给CSMF的响应消息中可以包括时延(latency)。
若CSMF请求NSMF反馈NSMF的时延能力、位置信息和租户标识,则NSMF返回给CSMF的响应消息中可以包括latency(20毫秒)、位置(地图上的位置标号100)、以及租户数量(200000)等信息。
一方面中,业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元通过周期性获取或者由事件触发获取第一网络管理单元的网络能力信息,能够得到各第一网络管理单元当前承载业务的能力,从而缩小选择目标网络管理单元的范围,也能有针对性的向这些目标网络管理单元请求为业务分配合适的网络切片,同时也能够提高分配切片网络的处理效率。另一方面中,业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元还可以首先判断当前有能力为该业务提供切片网络服务的第一网络管理单元,从而减少消息的发送,也能够快速的选择出合适的目标网络管理单元。
可见,CSMF可以请求NSMF当前可以支持的部分或者全部NSI能力信息。随后,CSMF/NM根据接收到的NSI能力信息,对本地维护的NSMF的NSI能力信息进行更新,再基于更新的NSI能力信息、网络类型指示信息或者业务需求信息中的至少一个去判断是否需要使用切片, 当业务管理请求中同时携带网络类型指示信息或者业务需求信息这两个信息时,在判断该业务是否为切片网络以网络类型指示信息的指示为准。
例如,业务需求信息中指示该业务的用户数为一万,但实质上未达到预定义的使用切片网络的条件,但如果该业务管理请求中的网络类型指示信息指示该业务需要使用切片网络,那么就需要以网络类型指示信息为准,即判定该业务需要使用切片网络。其他同理,不再赘述。
相应的,若业务需求信息中指示的业务时延为20ms,那么CSMF就可以根据当前更新的NSMF的NSI能力信息中确定出当前NSI的时延不高于20ms的NSMF,将这些满足时延为20ms的NSMF确定为目标NSMF,然后向这些目标NSMF发送网络请求,使得这些目标NSMF去根据网络请求中的业务需求信息为该业务分配合适的NSI,可以是为该业务新创建NSI,也可以是直接分配现有的NSI给该业务,也可以是当前目标NSMF没有合适的NSI时,为该业务新创建一个NSI,具体本申请不作限定。在目标NSMF为该业务分配完NSI后,可以发一个响应给CSMF或NM,以通知CSMF或NM:该目标NSMF可以为该业务分配合适的NSI。
由于目标NSMF可以会有两个以上,所以CSMF在接收到这些目标NSMF返回的相应后,可以自行选择任意目标NSMF为该业务分配NSI,具体如何选择本申请不作限定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一网络管理单元接收管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送的网络请求之后,所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息为业务分配或创建满足所述网络需求信息的网络切片之前,所述方法还包括:
所述第一网络管理单元根据所述网络需求信息和所述第一网络管理单元当前的网络能力信息确定是否具备承载所述业务的能力。
若确定具备承载所述业务的能力,则所述第一网络管理单元向管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)发送所述网络请求响应。通过这种判断机制和反馈机制,能够为管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)提供准确的信息,以使管理单元(包括业务管理单元或第二网络管理单元)有针对性的选择合适的第一网络管理单元为业务提供网络切片。
