Description

Information processing method, device, device and computer readable storage medium

Cross-reference to related applications

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810338075.9, filed on Jan.

Technical field

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, apparatus, device, and computer readable storage medium.

Background technique

In the related art, the subscription and notification process of the serviced interface often occurs between a pair of network elements. For example, after the NF service consumer initiates the subscription, the NF service provider will send a notification or callback uniform resource identifier (Uniform Resource) to the service caller requesting the subscription. Identifier, URI) for notification.

Due to the introduction of pool disaster recovery and stateless technology, multiple NF service consumers may assume the same function in the serviced interface; and in the scenario where there is no session information, at any moment, similar The NF service consumers can form a group, and the NF service consumer in a group can assume the same function and can handle the same signaling. In this case, from the NF service producer, all NF service consumers are peer-to-peer, especially the notification signaling can be sent to any NF service consumer in the group for processing. This situation is in the data processing interface (such as Unified Data Management (UDM), Policy Control Function (PCF), Network Exposure Function (NEF), etc. and unified data warehouse functions ( It is especially obvious on the interface between Unified Data Repository (UDR). When the UDR data changes, it can initiate notification to any UDM and other network elements in a group.

detailed description

Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The following examples are intended to illustrate the disclosure, but are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the information processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the first network element, including:

Step 101: The first network element performs notification, where the first network element performs notification according to any one of the following manners during the notification process:

(1) A notification or callback URI is generated according to the acquired information of a set or a group or a pool, and is notified according to a generated callback or notify URI.

The information of the set or the group or the pool may include the address of the set or the group or the pool. Of course, the actual application is not limited thereto, for example, the name of the set or the group or the pool, and the like. Wait.

(2) arbitrarily select a notification or callback URI in the obtained set of notification or callback URI, and perform notification according to the selected notification or callback URI.

(3) determining, according to the obtained notification or callback URI, information of a set or group or pool in which the network element corresponding to the notification or callback URI is located, generating a notification or callback URI according to the information, and generating a notification or callback according to the generated The URI is notified.

(4) determining, according to the obtained notification or callback URI, a set or group or pool in which the network element corresponding to the notification or callback URI is located, from the set or group or pool in which the network element corresponding to the notification or callback URI is located. In the middle, arbitrarily select a notification or callback URI registered by the network element for notification.

In the above four manners, the information of the set or group or pool, or the set of notification or callback URIs, or the notification or callback URI, is a subscription message or a subscription modification message sent by the second network element. Obtained.

For example, the first network element may be an NF service producer, and the second network element may be an NF service consumer. Then, when the second network element sends the subscription message or the subscription modification message to the first network element, the information in the foregoing four modes may be separately carried as needed. The first network element is processed differently for the different information carried in the subscription message or the subscription modification message.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the second network element, including:

Step 201: Send a subscription message or a subscription modification message to the first network element, where the following information is included in the subscription message or the subscription modification message:

Collection or group or pool information; a set of notification or callback URIs; notification or callback URIs.

On the basis of the above, in order to improve processing efficiency, the second network element may further receive a notification that the first network element sends according to the information, and send a response message to the first network element according to the notification. The response message may be a 204No Content message.

As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a third network element, including:

Step 301: Receive a notification sent by the first network element.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the information processing method includes:

Step 401, subscribing to the event that the second network element NF Service Consumer can carry a group or set or pool call or callback through the first message (such as a subscription message or a subscription modification message). The URI, or the address carrying the collection or group or pool, or carrying a notification or callback URI.

Step 402: The first network element NF service producer returns a second message to the second network element NF Service Consumer.

The second message may be a 201Created message.

Step 403: When the first network element NF service needs to be notified, the notification may be initiated to any URI in the notification or callback URI in the group or the collection pool, or according to the notification/callback URI, the selection and notification or callback URI Any network element in the group or collection or pool, and generate a URI for notification; or select and notify/callback any URI in the group or collection or pool in which the URI is located according to the notification or callback URI, and select it Notification of the registered notification or callback URI.

Assume that the first network element NF service producer selects the third network element NF Service Consumer for notification.

The first network element NF service producer sends a third message to the third network element NF Service Consumer.

Step 404: The third network element NF Service Consumer returns a fourth message to the second network element NF Service Consumer.

The fourth message may be a 204No Content message.

As shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the first network element is a UDR, the second network element is UDM1, and the third network element is UDM2. UDM1 subscribes to the UDR, and the UDR notifies the UDM with a UDM1 in a group/set (in the present embodiment, UDM2 is selected). In an embodiment of the disclosure, the information processing method includes:

Step 501: The UDM1 sends a POST.../Nudr_UDM_subscribe to the UDR, carries the group callback URI, or directly fills in a set address or a group address in the callback URI, for example, callback_ref/<set>.

Step 502: The UDR returns a 201Created message to the second network element UDM1.

Step 503: The UDR sends a POST {callback_ref} to the UDM2.

The callback_ref may be selected from the group callback URI by the UDR, or may be generated from the callback_ref/<set>.

Step 504, UDM2 sends a 204 No Content message to the UDR.

In the above embodiment, when the first network element needs to send a notification, it is not necessary to send a notification to the network element that subscribes to the notification, but may be in the same group or the same set as the network element that subscribes to the notification, as in the related art. Or send a notification to any one of the NEs in the same pool, which can improve the flexibility of the pool and improve the reliability of disaster recovery.
