具体实施方式
首先针对本发明实施例涉及的网络切片、网络切片实例、网络切片子网实例和网络功能这几个概念进行介绍。本发明实施例中所描述的网络实例包括网络切片实例、网络切片子网实例和网络功能中的至少一项。
网络切片(Network Slice,NS)指根据不同的服务需求定制化的、不同的逻辑网络。网络切片可以是一个包括了终端、接入网、传输网、核心网和应用服务器的完整的端到端网络,能够提供完整的电信服务,具有一定网络能力。网络切片也可以是上述终端、接入网、传输网、核心网和应用服务器的任意组合。
网络切片实例(Network Slice Instance,NSI)是对NS的实例化,即是一个真实运行的逻辑网络,能满足一定网络特性或服务需求。一个网络切片实例可以提供一种或多种服务。网络切片实例可以由网络切片管理功能设备创建,一个网络切片管理功能设备可以创建多个网络切片实例并同时对它们进行管理,包括在网络切片实例运行过程中的性能监视和故障管理等。当多个网络切片实例共存时,网络切片实例之间可以共享部分网络资源和网络功能。网络切片实例可以从网络切片模板创建,也可以不从网络切片模板创建。一个完整的网络切片实例是能够提供完整的端到端的网络服务的,而组成网络切片实例的可以是网络切片子网实例(Network Slice Subnet Instance,NSSI)和/或网络功能。网络功能可以包括物理网络功能和/或虚拟网络功能。以下统称物理网络功能和/或虚拟网络功能为网络功能。
一个网络切片实例可以划分为若干个网络切片子网实例,以方便网管系统管理。网络切片子网实例可以不需要提供端到端的完整的网络服务,网络切片子网实例可以是网络切片实例中同一个设备商的网络功能组成集合,也可以是按域划分的网络功能的集合,例如核心网网络切片子网实例、接入网网络切片子网实例,或由部署位置等其他方式组成集合。网络切片子网实例可以被多个网络切片实例共享。一个网络切片实例可以由若干网络切片子网实例组成,每个网络切片子网实例由若干网络功能和/或若干网络切片子网实例组成。一个网络切片实例可以由若干网络切片子网实例和没有被划分为网络切片子网实例的网络功能组成。一个网络切片实例也可以仅由若干网络功能组成。
网络功能(Network function,NF)是网络中的一种处理功能,定义了功能性的行为和接口。网络功能可以通过专用硬件实现,也可以通过在专用硬件上运行软件实现,也可以在通用的硬件平台上以虚拟功能的形式实现。因此,从实现的角度,可以将网络功能分为物理网络功能和虚拟网络功能。而从使用的角度,网络功能可以分为专属网络功能和共享网络功能。具体地,对于多个网络切片实例/网络切片子网实例而言,可以独立地使用不同的网络功能,这种网络功能称为专属网络功能,也可以共享同一个网络功能,这种网络功能称为共享网络功能。
请参见图1,是本发明实施例涉及的一种网络系统的架构示意图。如图1所示,网络系统100包括:通信业务管理功能(Communication Service Management  Function,CSMF)设备101、网络切片管理功能(Network Slice Management Functio,NSMF)设备102和网络切片子网管理功能(Network Slice Subnet Management Function,NSSMF)设备103。

网络切片管理功能设备102,主要负责接收通信业务管理功能设备101发送的网络切片实例管理请求。网络切片管理功能设备102对网络切片实例的生命周期、性能、故障等进行管理(以下将生命周期、性能、故障管理简称为管理),编排网络切片实例的组成,分解网络切片实例的需求为各网络切片子网实例和/或网络功能的需求,向各网络切片子网管理功能设备103发送网络切片子网实例管理请求。
网络切片子网管理功能设备103,主要负责接收网络切片管理功能设备102发送的网络切片子网实例和/或网络功能管理请求,对网络切片子网实例进行管理,编排网络切片子网实例的组成,分解网络切片子网实例的需求为各网络功能和/或嵌套网络切片子网实例的需求,可以向其他网络切片子网管理功能设备103发送嵌套网络切片子网实例管理请求。嵌套的意思是指一个网络切片子网实例可以由另一个或多个网络切片子网实例组成。
通信业务管理功能设备101和网络切片管理功能设备102存在接口1,网络切片管理功能设备102和网络切片子网管理功能设备103存在接口2。其中,接口1用于通信业务管理功能设备101向网络切片管理功能设备102发送网络切片实例管理请求。接口1还用于网络切片管理功能设备102向通信业务管理功能设备101反馈管理请求执行结果。接口1还用于网络切片管理功能设备102向通信业务管理功能设备101上报管理数据。接口2用于网络切片管理功能设备102向网络切片子网管理功能设备103发送网络切片子网实例管理请求和/或网络功能管理请求。接口2还用于网络切片子网管理功能设备103向网络切片管理功能设备102反馈管理请求执行结果。接口2还用于网络切片子网管理功能设备103向网络切片管理功能设备102上报管理数据。
需要说明的是,通信业务管理功能设备101、网络切片管理功能设备102、网络切片子网管理功能设备103、接口1和接口2还可以有其他名称,本发明实施例不作具体限定。在本发明实施例中,通信业务管理功能设备101、网络切片 管理功能设备102和网络切片子网管理功能设备103均是依据功能命名的,在具体应用中,通信业务管理功能设备101可以是具备通信业务管理功能的任意设备,网络切片管理功能设备102可以是具备网络切片管理功能的任意设备,网络切片子网管理功能设备103可以是具备网络切片子网管理功能的任意设备。
