Description

用户面功能实体信息的上报方法、装置、存储介质及电子装置
本申请要求在2019年08月16日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910760749.9的中国专利申请的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，例如，涉及一种用户面功能实体信息的上报方法、装置、存储介质及电子装置。
背景技术
在相关技术中，第五代(5thGeneration，5G)移动通讯系统中，5G基站称为新一代无线接入网节点(New Generation Radio Access Network Node，NG RAN Node，gNB)，同时，5G核心网也增加了很多功能实体。比如，接入及移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Fucntion，AMF)，会话管理功能(Session Management Function，SMF)，用户面功能(User Plane Function，UPF)，鉴权服务器功能(Authentication Server Function，AUSF)，服务通信代理(Service Communication Proxy，SCP)等等。基站侧可以通过不同的接口和核心网相连，具体的接口部署情况如图1所示，包括分组控制功能(Packet Control Function，PCF)，归属签约用户服务器(Unified Data Management，UDM)，网元功能(Network Element Function，NEF)，网络切片选择功能(Network Slice Selection Function，NSSF)，应用层功能(Application Function，AF)，用户设备(User Equipment，UE)等，相互之间通过接口连接数据网络(Data Network，DN)，其中，SMF负责UPF的选择和重选工作。SMF可以通过网络数据库功能(Network Repository Function，NRF)来发现UPF实体。
然而，在未来5G的演进中，UPF的部署会更为灵活。比如，UPF可能会被部署在RAN侧，则UPF信息需要从RAN侧上报给核心网，进而传递给SMF。但在标准协议当中，UPF信息在RAN侧的上报方法还没有明确的定义。
