Description

Intention processing method and related device

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on November 28, 2019, the application number is 201911195345.6, and the application title is "Intention Processing Method and Related Device", the entire content of which is incorporated into this application by reference.

Technical field

This application relates to the field of network management technology, and in particular to an intention processing method and related devices.

Background technique

Currently, 3GPP SA5 adopts the method of full network resource modeling and full management of network objects in the definition of the traditional northbound interface (itf-N). The network management system (NMS) directly controls all management objects in the southbound through configuration management (CM), performance management (PM), fault management (FM), and other types of operations. Perform additions, deletions, and revisions. This not only raises the operator’s management and operation and maintenance thresholds, but also makes it difficult to achieve inter-vendor interoperability due to different equipment manufacturers.

In order to reduce the complexity of network infrastructure management and improve the operation and maintenance efficiency of multi-vendor equipment management in the multi-vendor equipment scenario, 3GPP SA5 initiated the study of intent-driven management service (IDMS) (3GPP TR 28.812) ), the main solution ideas can be summarized as:

The NMS does not directly manage the network resource model (NRM). Only the intent model is retained in the NMS, and only vendor-independent intent expressions are transmitted on the northbound interface, thereby shielding the implementation of the equipment vendors from the differentiated details. Intention expressions only describe the intention to be achieved without involving how to achieve the intention. In this way, only basic conceptual knowledge in the wireless field can be used to complete the expression of intent, thereby lowering the threshold of operation and maintenance. Specifically, the intent model is deployed through the element management system (EMS). When the EMS receives the intent request sent by the NMS, it uses the intent system (IDM MnSproducer) to obtain the desired goal according to the network status. Perform the operation, and perform the operation to achieve the intended purpose, thereby achieving the intent.

However, in such a scheme, the intention system is deployed in the EMS. Since the EMS needs to manage multiple network elements, for each intent of each network element, the logic and control of the specific operations performed are all in the EMS, so that the EMS is executing In the process of operating to achieve the intention, there is a large number of signaling interactions with multiple network elements, making EMS a performance bottleneck. If an intent model is deployed on each network element, when the object of the intent is all network elements in a certain area, the same intent needs to be sent to each network element in the area, and the intent model in each network element All need to perform the same translation processing, which will waste a lot of resources.

Detailed ways

The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a network architecture diagram of a network system 100 in the prior art. The network system includes an operational support system (OSS) 101, NMS102, EMS103, and one or more network elements 104.

Among them, OSS is a comprehensive management system for operators' services. Operators can implement order management, billing, user management, or product management functions through OSS.

Among them, the NMS can be a management system responsible for network operation, management, and maintenance functions. The NMS can provide five basic functions: fault, configuration, accounting, performance or security (fault, configuration, accounting, performance or security, FCAPS). The management objects of the NMS may include all entities in the network, such as: network equipment, applications, server systems, routers, switches, hubs, auxiliary equipment (for example, uninterrupted power system (UPS)) and so on. NMS can provide network administrators with a system-wide network view.

Among them, the EMS may be a network element management software that complies with the International Telecommunication Union's Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) standard, and can manage one or more network elements of a certain category.

Optionally, EMS allows users to individually manage all the characteristics of each network element.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a network architecture diagram of an intention processing system in the prior art. The intention processing system includes an intention sender, an intention system, and one or more network elements. The intent sender can send the intent to the intent system. In the intent, include the goal to be achieved, but does not include the specific operation of how to achieve the goal. The intent system is used to process the intent of the sender of the intent. After the intention system receives the intention sent by the intention sender, the intention system obtains the object to be executed according to the intention. The operation object usually includes multiple network elements. For example, the operation object in FIG. 2 includes network element 1, network element 2, and network element. Element 3... and network element n (n is a positive integer). Then the intent system recognizes the intent in the intent, and performs corresponding operations according to the recognition result to control the operation of these multiple network elements, so as to achieve the intent. In the process in which the intention system controls the operation of multiple network elements to achieve the intention, a large amount of signaling interaction is required between the intention system and the multiple network elements.

In combination with the network system 100 shown in FIG. 1, the OSS101 and NMS102 in the network system 100 can be used as the intention senders in the intention management system, and the EMS 103 in the network system 100 can be used to deploy the intention system of the intention processing system. In the network architecture of the intention processing system as shown in Figure 3a, the intention system is deployed in the EMS. EMS usually needs to manage multiple network elements. If the EMS receives the intent, the objects to be executed according to the intent are network element 1, network element 2, network element 3... and network element n (n is a positive integer) shown in Figure 3a, then the intention system according to the intention Send control instructions to the network element 1-network element n to control the operation of the network element to achieve the intention. When the intent system sends a control command to the network element 1 to the network element n, there will be a large number of signaling interactions between the EMS and each network element of the network element 1 to the network element n, which will inevitably increase the load of the EMS. Even if the intent system is not deployed in the EMS, but the intent translation system is deployed in a separate device, when there are many intent execution objects, the load of the device that deploys the intent system alone will be too large.

If, in order to reduce the load of the EMS or the equipment for separately deploying the intention system, the intention processing system adopts the network architecture shown in Figure 3b, and deploys the intention system on each of the network elements 1-network element n, which will lead to waste Storage resources of the network element. After the EMS receives the intent, it will send the same intent to each network element in network element 1-network element n, and each network element in network element 1-network element n will receive the same intent and interpret it. The same intention, this also wastes a lot of computing resources.

Fig. 4 is a network architecture diagram of an intention processing system according to an embodiment of the application. The intention processing system includes a first network element and a second network element. The first network element is the network element that receives the intention. After receiving the intention, the first network element obtains the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element according to the intention, and then sends the operation requirement to the second network element according to the identifier of the second network element. The second network element can control its own business operation according to operational requirements to achieve the intention. In this way, the intention is centrally translated by the first network element, and the first network element first translates the intention into an operation requirement, and then sends the operation requirement to one or more second network elements. One or more second network elements respectively control their own business operations according to operational requirements to achieve their intentions. Then, in the process of achieving the intention, there is no need to perform a large amount of signaling interaction between the first network element and the second network element, which can avoid the overload of the first network element. Moreover, the centralized translation of the intent by the first network element can also save computing resources.

As shown in FIG. 5a, FIG. 5a is a schematic flowchart of an intention processing method according to an embodiment of the application. The intention processing method includes the following steps:

S501. The first network element receives the intention;

Specifically, the first network element receives the intention from the intention sender. The first network element may be a network element deployed with NMS, may also be a network element deployed with EMS, or may be a network element not deployed with NMS or EMS.

Based on the network system 100 shown in FIG. 1, when the first network element is a network element where an NMS is deployed, the intention sender may be an OSS or a user. The first network element may receive an intent from the OSS, or receive an intent input by a user through the first network element.

When the first network element is a network element where an EMS is deployed, the intended sender may be an NMS, an OSS, or a user. The first network element may receive the intent from the NMS, may also receive the intent from the OSS, and may also receive the intent input by the user through the first network element.

When the first network element is a network element without NMS or EMS deployed, and the first network element is a network element independent of NMS and EMS, the intended sender may be EMS, NMS, OSS, or user. The first network element may receive an intent from the EMS, NMS, or OSS, and may also receive an intent for input through the first network element.

For example, the intention includes demand description information and descriptive information of the second network element. The intention sender can provide the intention by means of an intention expression. The intention expression includes an intention-driven object part and an intention-driven operation part, and the intention-driven object part includes the attribute description information of the second network element. The attribute description information of the second network element may specifically be attribute condition information required by the intention-driven object, that is, the attribute condition information of the second network element. The attribute condition information of the second network element may include, but is not limited to, the network element type condition, the network element equipment model condition, the geographic location range to which the network element belongs, the deployment time range of the network element, and so on. The intention-driven operation part includes the requirement description information of the operation requirement corresponding to the intention. The intention sender can provide an intention expression to express the intention according to the actual intention demand. Specifically, the intention expression is as follows:

<IntentDrivenAction>,<IntentDrivenObject>;

For example, the intent-driven object part is "5G base stations in Nanshan District, Shenzhen", where "Nanshan District, Shenzhen" is the geographic location range to which the network element belongs, and "5G base station" is the network element equipment type condition.

The intention-driven operation part includes the requirement description information of the operation requirement obtained by abstracting and simplifying the intention requirement. The first network element can obtain the corresponding operation requirement according to the requirement description information.

Of course, the intention is not limited to being provided by way of intention expression, and the intention expression is not limited to the above-mentioned form. In other embodiments, the intention sender may provide the intention in other ways.

S502. The first network element obtains the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element according to the intention.

The intent includes the requirement description information and the description information of the second network element.

The description information of the second network element includes attribute condition information of the second network element. The first network element obtains the identifier of the second network element that meets the attribute condition information. The attribute condition information may include, but is not limited to, geographic location range, deployment time range, network element type, network element device model, and command format that can be executed by the network element.

The first network element obtains the operation requirement corresponding to the requirement description information. The requirement description information includes an intent index. The first network element may first identify the requirement description information to obtain the intent index, and then obtain the operation requirement corresponding to the intent index. The requirement description information includes "adjust the voice data packet loss rate (volte_loss_rate) to less than 1%", then the first network element can recognize that the intent index is "voice data packet loss rate". The second network element can achieve the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement.

For example, the implementation manner for the first network element to obtain the operation requirements and the identification of the second network element according to the intention may refer to the description of the subsequent FIG. 5b.

S503: The first network element sends an operation requirement to the second network element according to the identifier of the second network element.

Optionally, the requirement description information includes an intent index and an intent target. The operation requirements corresponding to the intent index obtained by the first network element include parameters to be filled. After the first network element obtains the operation requirement according to the intent index, it can fill in the parameters to be filled in the operation requirement according to the intent target to obtain the filled operation requirement. Then the first network element sends the filled operation demand to the second network element. For example, if the requirement description information includes "adjust the voice data packet loss rate (volte_loss_rate) to less than 1%", the first network element can recognize that the intent index is "voice data packet loss rate" and the intent target is "1% or less". The operation requirements corresponding to the intent index include an achievement criterion, multiple operations, and execution conditions corresponding to each operation. The achievement condition in the achievement criterion is a parameter to be filled. The first network element can obtain the achievement condition of 1% in the achievement criterion according to the intention target "below 1%".

Optionally, the requirement description information includes an intent index. The operation requirements corresponding to the intent index obtained by the first network element do not include the parameters to be filled. The first network element may send the operation requirements obtained from the second database to the second network element. For example, if the demand description information is to perform load balancing adjustments on various cells in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, the first network element can recognize that the intent index is load balancing adjustment, and the first network element obtains the load balancing adjustment from the second database. Corresponding operation requirements, which include load balancing operations.

S504. The second network element realizes the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement.

The operation in the operation requirement includes an operation instruction, and the second network element can implement the intention by executing the operation instruction.

For example, for the implementation of the second network element to achieve the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement, reference may be made to the subsequent description of FIG. 5b.

In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the intention, the first network element obtains the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element according to the intention, and then sends the operation requirement to the second network element according to the identifier of the second network element. The second network element realizes the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement. In this way, the first network element first intensively translates the intent into operation requirements, and then sends the operation requirements to the second network element. The second network element controls its own service operation according to the operation requirements to achieve the intention. In this way, in the process of achieving the intention, there is no need to perform a large amount of signaling interaction between the first network element and the second network element, which can avoid the overload of the first network element. Moreover, the centralized translation of the intent by the first network element can also save computing resources.

In some optional embodiments, the intention processing method in the embodiments of the present application further includes:

S505: The second network element sends an intention fulfillment message to the first network element.

In this way, when the first network element receives the intention fulfillment message, and the intention fulfillment message includes the identifier of the intention, it can be confirmed that the second network element has fulfilled the intention.

Specifically, when the first network element sends the operation request to the second network element, the identifier of the intention may also be sent to the second network element. The intention accomplishment message sent by the second network element to the first network element may include the identifier of the intention. In this way, when the first network element processes multiple intents, the achieved intent can be determined according to the identifier of the intent in the intent fulfillment message.

Please refer to FIG. 5b, which is a schematic flowchart of an intention processing method according to an embodiment of the application. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 5a, in some optional embodiments, the first network element acquiring the operation requirement and the identification of the second network element according to the intention includes the following steps S5021 and S5022.

S5021, the first network element obtains the identifier of the second network element whose attribute information matches the description information from the first database;

The first database includes the association relationship between the attribute information of the second network element and the identifier of the second network element. Specifically, the first database includes the association relationship between the attribute information of the multiple network elements and the identifier of each network element. According to the description information of the second network element, the first network element obtains the identifier of the second network element whose attribute information matches the description information from the first database. For example, the description information of the second network element includes "5G base station in Nanshan District, Shenzhen", and the description information includes the geographic location range "Nanshan District, Shenzhen" corresponding to the geographic location attribute, and the network element corresponding to the network element type attribute Type condition "5G base station". According to the description information, the first network element obtains the identifier of the second network element whose geographic location attribute in the attribute information meets the geographic location range and the network element type attribute meets the network element type condition from the first database. It should be noted that the content of the description information is not limited to the above examples, and the above examples are only used for explanation and do not constitute a restriction on the application.

S5022. The first network element obtains the operation requirement from the second database according to the requirement description information.

The second database includes the relationship between the requirement description information and the operation requirement. The operation requirements in the second database include operations, or operations, and one or more of the following: reaching criteria, execution constraints, reward formulas, operation type information and execution conditions that need to be met to perform the operation, instruction format, and the second network Correspondence of the identity of the meta. Achievement criterion is a condition for measuring the achievement of an intent. The execution constraint is the constraint that needs to be satisfied when the intention is realized according to the operation. The reward formula is used to adjust the parameter value in the operation according to the network state of the second network element. The instruction format is used to instruct the second network element to execute the format of the operation instruction.

The second database can be deployed according to regions. The instruction format in the operation requirement includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element capable of executing the operation requirement and the instruction format in the area corresponding to the second database. The instruction format corresponding to the identifier of each network element is the format of the operation instruction when the network element executes the operation instruction in the operation requirement. Optionally, the instruction format may be a format of an operation instruction supported by the corresponding second network element.

The operation requirements corresponding to the requirement description information may only include operations; the operation requirements may also include operations, and reach criteria, execution constraints, reward formulas, type information of the operations, execution conditions and instructions that need to be met to perform the operations Any one or more of the corresponding relationship between the format and the identifier of the second network element. For example, the operational requirements may include only operations, operations and achievement criteria, or operations, attainment criteria, execution constraints, and reward formulas. They may also include operations, attainment criteria, execution constraints, reward formulas, and instruction formats. Correspondence of the identifier of the second network element.

Specifically, the requirement description information includes an intent index, and the second database stores multiple intent indexes and operation requirements corresponding to each intent index.

The intention index may be the key intention information obtained by the first network element through semantic analysis of the requirement description information. For example, the demand description information is to adjust the load balance of each cell in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. Then the first network element can recognize that the key information of the intention is load balancing adjustment. Then, the first network element uses the intent key information as an intent index, and obtains the operation demand corresponding to the load balancing adjustment from the second database.

The intent index can also be a character string that can express the requirements of the schematic diagram. The first network element can obtain the corresponding operation requirement from the second database according to the character string. For example, the index table includes multiple intent indexes and intent description information corresponding to each intent index. The intention sender can obtain the intention index corresponding to the intention description information that matches the intention that needs to be expressed from the index table according to the intention description information of each index information. Then the intended sender provides the index information as part of the demand description information to the first network element. According to the intention index provided by the intention sender, the first network element obtains the operation requirement corresponding to the intention index from the second database. The first network element can perform semantic analysis on the demand description information provided by the intention sender to obtain the key information of the intention, and then obtain the string of the intention description information and the key information of the intention from the index table as the intention index, and then use the intention The index obtains the operation requirement corresponding to the intent index from the second database.

The content contained in the operation requirements corresponding to each intent index is shown in Table 1 below:

It should be noted that, in the operation requirement corresponding to each intent index, the correspondence between the achievement criterion, operation type, execution condition, instruction format, and network element identification is optional. That is to say, the operation requirements corresponding to the intent index may not include the corresponding relationship between the achievement criterion, operation type, execution condition, instruction format and the identification of the network element. It may also include the achievement criterion, operation type, execution condition, and instruction format. Any one or more of the corresponding relationships of the identifiers of the network elements. The content of the operation requirement corresponding to the intention index is not limited to the examples in Table 1. In other embodiments, the operation requirement corresponding to the intention index may include more or less content.

In this way, the first database includes the association relationship between the attribute information of the second network element and the identifier of the second network element, and the second database includes the association relationship between the requirement description information and the operation requirement. The first network element can use the first database and the second database to translate the intent demand description information into operation demands, and obtain the identification of the second network element, and then send the operation demand to the second network element, so that the second network element The network element can adjust the operating state according to the operational requirements to achieve the intention. This can reduce the number of signaling transmissions between the first network element and the second network element when the first network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the intention to achieve the intention, thereby reducing the load of the first network element.

In an optional embodiment, the operation requirement acquired by the first network element from the second database includes the correspondence between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element. The first network element sends the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element to the second network element, and the second network element combines the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element in the operation requirement according to its own identifier, Get the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed. In this way, the second network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

In another optional embodiment, the operation requirement acquired by the first network element from the second database includes the correspondence between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element. According to the identifier of the second network element, the first network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the second network element executes the operation instruction in the operation request in combination with the corresponding relationship between the instruction format in the operation requirement and the identifier of the network element, and Send the instruction format as an operation requirement to the second network element. In this way, when the second network element adjusts the operation state according to the operation in the operation demand, it can convert the operation instruction in operation into the instruction format according to the instruction format, and then execute the converted operation instruction to adjust the operation state, thereby improving The efficiency of the second network element to execute the operation instruction.

Please continue to refer to FIG. 5b. Based on the embodiment of FIG. 5a, in some optional embodiments, the second network element realizes the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement, including the following steps S5040-S5049.

S5040. The second network element obtains the type of operation in the operation requirement.

The type of operation may include, but is not limited to, workflow type, optimization type, and instruction type, for example. In some embodiments, the operation requirement includes operation type information, and the second network element can obtain the operation type according to the operation type information in the operation requirement. The type information of the operation included in the operation requirement may be a type identifier. In this way, the second network element can obtain the type of operation according to the type identification in the operation requirement.

In other embodiments, the operation requirement does not include the type identification of the operation. After the first network element obtains the operation requirement according to the intention, it analyzes the characteristic information of the operation in the operation requirement to obtain the type information of the operation, and sends the type information to the second network element. The second network element obtains the type of operation in the operation requirement according to the type information sent by the first network element.

When the type of the operation in the operation requirement is the first type, the second network element executes step S5042. When the type of the operation in the operation requirement is the second type, the second network element executes step S5044 to identify the type of operation in the operation requirement When it is the third type, the second network element executes step S5048;

The first type may be, for example, a workflow type. The operation requirements corresponding to the operations of the first type include an achievement criterion, one or more operations, and execution conditions corresponding to each operation. The second network element adjusts the operation state according to the operation of the workflow type until the network state after the adjustment of the operation state meets the achievement criterion, that is, the intention is reached.

The second type may be an optimized type, for example. The operation requirements corresponding to the second type of operation include fulfillment criteria, one or more operations of the second type, and individual execution conditions for each operation. The second network element adjusts the operating state according to the operation of the optimized type, and modifies the operation according to the difference between the network state after the adjusted operating state and the reached criteria, and then adjusts the operating state according to the modified operation until the operating state is adjusted. The network status meets the reaching criteria, that is, reaching the intention.

The third type may be an instruction type, for example. The operation requirements corresponding to the third type of operation include one or more operations and the execution conditions of each operation. The second network element adjusts the operation state according to the operation in the operation demand.

S5041. The second network element obtains its own network status, and judges whether its own network status meets the achievement criterion in the operation requirement, if so, it can be determined that the intention is reached, if not, step S5042 is executed;

The achievement criterion includes one or more parameter types and the achievement conditions corresponding to each parameter type. When the second network element recognizes that the type of operation in the operation requirement is the first type, it obtains the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion according to its own network state. If the parameter value corresponding to each parameter type in the achievement criterion meets the achievement condition, the second network element may determine that its own network state meets the achievement criterion; otherwise, the second network element determines that its own network state does not meet the achievement criterion.

For example, the requirement description information is to adjust the voice data packet loss rate to less than 1%, and the achievement criterion includes the parameter type: voice data packet loss rate. The achievement condition corresponding to this parameter type is less than or equal to 1%. When the second network element obtains its own adjusted voice data packet loss rate of 7%, it can confirm that its own network status does not meet the reaching criterion.

It should be noted that, after the network status meets the achievement criterion in the operation requirement, the second network element continues to perform step S5041. If the second network element determines that the network status meets the achievement criteria in the operational requirements, the network status of the second network element changes, and the second network element detects that its own network status does not meet the achievement criteria, the second network element The first network element sends an achieved status change message. The achievement status change message is used to notify the first network element that the network status of the second network element no longer meets the achievement criterion corresponding to the intention, and the second network element is in the intention unfulfilled state.

S5042. When its own network status does not meet the achievement criterion, the second network element obtains a first target operation that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations required by the operation according to its own network status, and adjusts it according to the first target operation Running status, after adjusting the running status, return to step S5041.

The execution condition of each operation can be understood as a condition that the network state of the second network element needs to meet when the operation is executed. The execution condition may specifically include one or more network state parameters used to measure the network state and a parameter condition corresponding to each network state parameter. The second network element obtains the parameter value corresponding to each network state parameter according to its own network state. If the parameter value corresponding to each state parameter condition in the execution condition meets the parameter condition, the second network element can confirm that its own network state meets the execution condition, and set the operation corresponding to the execution condition as the first target operation. Otherwise, the second network element confirms that the network status does not meet the execution condition.

For example, the requirement description information is to adjust the voice data packet loss rate to less than 1%. The operation requirements corresponding to the requirement description information include operation a and operation b. The execution condition of operation a is that the voice data packet loss rate is greater than 1% and less than or It is equal to 5%, and the execution condition b of operation b is that the voice data packet loss rate is greater than 5% and less than or equal to 10%. In this example, the network state parameter of the execution condition a is the voice data packet loss rate, and the parameter condition corresponding to the execution condition a is greater than 1% and less than or equal to 5%. The network state parameter of the execution condition b is the voice data packet loss rate, and the parameter condition for the execution condition b is greater than 5% and less than or equal to 10%. When the second network element obtains its adjusted voice data packet loss rate of 7%, the second network element can confirm that its adjusted voice data packet loss rate meets the execution condition b of operation b, and then takes operation b as the first target operating.

After obtaining one or more first target operations, the second network element controls its own service operation according to the first target operations to adjust the running state. After adjusting the operating status, the second network element returns to perform step S5041 again to determine whether its own network status meets the reaching criterion. If the network status does not meet the achievement criterion, the second network element performs step S5042 again, according to its own network status, re-obtains the first target operation that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations required by the operation, and according to the first target operation The target operation adjusts the running state. In this way, the second network element cyclically executes steps S5051 and S5042 until the network status meets the reaching criterion.

Each of the one or more operations includes an operation instruction, so after the second network element obtains the first target operation, it can execute the operation instruction of the first target operation to control its own service operation, thereby adjusting the operation status.

It should be noted that the first target operation in the embodiment of the present application is a variable. Each time step S5042 is executed, the second network element will retrieve the first target operation that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations according to the network status. .

If the first target operation that meets the execution condition is not obtained, the second network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

It should be noted that the execution conditions in the operation requirements are optional. When the operation requirement of the first type includes an operation and does not include an execution condition, in step S5042, the second network element may use this operation as the first target operation, and adjust the running state according to the first target operation.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the operation requirements corresponding to the operations of the first type further include execution constraints. The second network element always satisfies the execution constraint in the process of adjusting the operating state according to the operation to realize the intention. In this way, when the operating state of the second network element is required in the process of realizing the intention, for example, when it is necessary to ensure that the service operating state of the second network element is always kept normally, the execution constraint can be set to make the second network element's operating status. In the process of realizing this intent, the business operation status always meets the requirements.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the second network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the first target operation, according to the network element The corresponding relationship between the identifier and the instruction format and its own identifier acquire the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed, and then convert the operation instruction in the first target operation into the instruction format to obtain the converted operation instruction. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the second network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

S5043. The second network element obtains its own network status, and judges whether its own network status meets the reaching criteria;

For the explanation of step S5043, please refer to the explanation of step S5041. In order to avoid redundancy, it will not be repeated here.

S5044. When its own network status does not meet the achievement criteria, the second network element obtains a second target operation that meets the execution conditions according to its own network status, and adjusts the running status according to the second target operation;

For the specific process of obtaining the second target operation by the second network element, refer to the foregoing process for obtaining the first target operation by the second network element. Each of the one or more operations includes an operation instruction, so after the second network element obtains the second target operation, it can execute the operation instruction of the second target operation to control its own service operation, thereby adjusting the operation status.

If the second target operation that meets the execution condition is not obtained, the second network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

In some embodiments, the operation requirements corresponding to the second type of operation further include execution constraints. The second network element always satisfies the execution constraint in the process of adjusting the operating state according to the operation to realize the intention. In this way, when the operating state of the second network element is required in the process of realizing the intention, for example, when it is necessary to ensure that the service operating state of the second network element is always kept normally, the execution constraint can be set to make the second network element's operating status. In the process of realizing this intent, the business operation status always meets the requirements.

S5045. The second network element obtains the network state after adjusting the operating state, and determines whether the network state after adjusting the operating state meets the achievement criterion, if so, confirms that the intention is achieved, if not, executes step S5046;

The achievement criterion includes one or more parameter types and the achievement conditions corresponding to each parameter type. After the second network element adjusts the operating state, according to the network state after the adjusted operating state, the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion is obtained. If according to the network state after adjusting the operating state, it is confirmed that the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion meets the achievement condition, the second network element can determine that the network state after the adjustment of the operating state meets the achievement criterion; otherwise, the second network element The network element determines that the network status after adjusting the operating status does not meet the reaching criteria.

S5046. When the network state after the adjusted operating state does not meet the reaching criterion, the second network element determines whether the adjusted operating state of the network meets the execution condition corresponding to the second target operation, and if it does not meet the execution condition of the second target operation, execute step S5047, if If yes, step S5048 is executed.

S5047. The second network element re-acquires a second target operation that meets the execution condition from one or more operations according to the network state after adjusting the operating state, and adjusts the operating state according to the re-acquired second target operation. After the second network element adjusts the operating state, it returns to step S5045.

It can be understood that after adjusting the operating state, the network state of the second network element has changed, and the network state of the second network element may not meet the execution condition corresponding to the second target operation obtained according to the network state before the adjustment. Then after adjusting the operating state, it is determined whether the network state after the adjusted operating state meets the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation, and when the adjusted operating state does not meet the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation, The second target operation that meets the execution conditions is re-acquired according to the network state after the operating state is adjusted. In this way, the second target operation performed by the second network element can be made consistent with the network state after the operating state is adjusted.

For example, when it is obtained in step S5043 that the voice data packet loss rate of the second network element is 7%, then in step S5044, the second network element determines that the second target operation is operation b, and adjusts the operating state according to operation b. Then step S5045 is executed. The second network element obtains that the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state is 4%. If the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state is greater than 1% and less than 5%, it can be confirmed that the operating state is adjusted. The network status of does not meet the reaching criteria, and the network status after adjusting the operating status does not meet the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation. Since the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state is 4% meets the execution condition a of operation a, the second network element re-determines operation a as the second target operation according to the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state of 4%. And adjust the running state according to operation a.

S5048. The second network element modifies the second target operation according to the achievement criterion, and adjusts the running state according to the modified second target operation. After adjusting the operating state, the second network element returns to perform step S5045.

Specifically, the second network element adjusts the operation instruction in the second operation according to the difference between the parameter value of each parameter type and the achievement condition corresponding to the parameter type in the achievement criterion.

The second network element can obtain the reward formula according to the achievement criterion, and then adjust the operation instruction in the second operation according to the difference between the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion and the achievement condition corresponding to the parameter type and the reward formula, so that After the second network element adjusts the operating state according to the adjusted operation instruction, the network state of the second network element is closer to reaching the criterion. Performing steps S5046 and S5048 multiple times in this way can make the network status of the second network element gradually approach the reaching criterion until it meets the reaching criterion.

In some optional embodiments, the operation requirement includes a reward formula. In other words, the operation requirements obtained by the first network element from the second database according to the requirement description information include an achievement criterion, a reward formula, one or more operations, and execution conditions for performing each operation. In another embodiment, when the operational requirements obtained by the first network element from the second database include the achievement criteria, one or more operations, and the execution conditions for executing each operation, but does not include the reward formula, the first network element The element can obtain the reward formula according to the achievement criterion in the operation requirement, and will send the reward formula to the second network element. In this way, the second network element can receive the reward formula from the first network element, which can reduce the data processing volume of the second network element.

In other alternative embodiments, the operational requirements include constraints. The second network element needs to meet the constraint condition in the process of adjusting the operating state according to the operation. The second network element can obtain a reward formula according to the constraint condition and the achievement criterion. Or the first network element obtains the reward formula according to the constraint condition and the achievement criterion, and sends the reward formula to the second network element.

Step S5045 is executed after adjusting the operating state. In this way, steps S5045-S5048 are cyclically executed until the network state after adjusting the operating state meets the reaching criterion.

It should be noted that in the operation requirements corresponding to the second operation type, the execution conditions are optional. When the operation requirement of the second type includes an operation and does not include execution conditions, in step S5044, the second network element regards the operation as the second target operation, and adjusts the operating state according to the second target operation; in step S5044, In S5045, if the network state after adjusting the operating state does not meet the reaching criterion, step S5048 is executed until the network state after adjusting the operating state meets the reaching criterion; if it meets the reaching criterion, confirming that the intention is reached. In this way, it is unnecessary to perform step S5046 and step S5047.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the second network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the second target operation, according to its own The corresponding relationship between the identifier, the identifier of the network element, and the instruction format obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed, and then converts the operation instruction in the second target operation into the instruction format to obtain the converted operation instruction. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the second network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

Optionally, when the operation type is the first operation or the second operation, if the network operation status of the second network element meets the achievement criterion, step S505 is executed. In this way, when the first network element receives the intention fulfillment message, it can be confirmed that the second network element has fulfilled the intention.

S5049. The second network element adjusts the operating state according to the operation in the operation demand.

Specifically, the operations in the operation requirements include operation instructions. The second network element adjusts the operating state by executing the operation instruction.

If the second network element successfully executes the operation instruction to complete the adjustment of the operating state, it is confirmed that the intention is achieved. If the operation instruction is not successfully executed, it is confirmed that the intention execution failed. When the intention is achieved, step S505 may be performed; when the execution of the intention fails, the second network element may send a message of failure to execute the intention to the first network element. In this way, the second network element can feed back the execution of the intention to the first network element in time.

When the operation type is the third type, and the operation requirement includes multiple operations and the execution conditions corresponding to each operation, and does not include the achievement criteria, the second network element obtains the execution conditions from multiple operations according to its own network status The third target operation, and adjust the running state according to the third target operation. The second network element adjusts the operating state by executing the third target operation. If the second network element successfully adjusts the operating state according to the third target operation, it confirms that the intention is achieved. If the second network element does not obtain the third target operation that meets the execution conditions, or obtains the third target operation but does not successfully execute the operation instruction of the third target operation, the second network element sends the intention execution failure to the first network element news. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

When the operation type is the third type and the operation requirement includes an operation, and does not include the execution condition and the achievement criterion, the operation is the third target operation, and the second network element adjusts the operation state according to the operation. Specifically, the second network element executes the operation instruction of the one operation to adjust the operating state. After the second network element performs the one operation and completes the adjustment of the operating state, it confirms that the intention is achieved. If there is no operation instruction for successfully executing the one operation, the second network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

In some optional embodiments, the operation requirements corresponding to the third type of operation further include execution constraints. The second network element needs to always meet the execution constraint during the process of adjusting the operating state according to the operation in the operation demand.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the second network element includes the corresponding relationship between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the third target operation, it is based on its own The corresponding relationship between the network identifier, the identifier of the network element, and the instruction format obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed, and then converts the operation instruction in the third target operation into the instruction format to obtain the converted operation instruction. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the second network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

It can be seen that by adopting the above steps S5040-S5049, the second network element can execute the corresponding state adjustment scheme according to different operation types and operation requirements, so as to achieve the intention.

Optionally, if the time to execute step S5040 has exceeded the preset time for the intention requirement, and the second network element does not reach the achievement criterion, the second network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the second network element can promptly feed back to the first network element when the intention cannot be successfully executed, so that the intention sender can learn about the execution of the intention in time. Optionally, if the time to execute step S5040 has exceeded the preset time for the intended demand, and the second network element has not reached the reaching criterion, the second network element may stop adjusting the network state according to the operation in the operation demand; or When a network element receives the intention execution failure message sent by the second network element, it sends a stop execution instruction to the second network element to instruct the second network element to stop adjusting the network state according to the operation in the operation requirement. In this way, it can be avoided that the second network element performs operations many times for a long time but fails to achieve the intention, which results in wasting the resources of the second network element.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in some embodiments, when the type of operation is the first type or the second type, the second network element can detect its own network status at a preset time interval. If the network status does not meet the reaching criterion, the second network element sends a message of unfulfilled intention to the first network element. If the network status meets the achievement criterion, the second network element sends an intention achievement message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can promptly feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention unfulfilled message, the intention execution failure message, or the intention fulfillment message sent by the second network element.

FIG. 6 is a network architecture diagram of an intention processing system according to another embodiment of the application. The intention processing system includes a first network element, a second network element, and a third network element. The first network element is used to receive the intent. After the first network element receives the intent, it obtains the operation requirement, the identifier of the second network element, and the identifier of the third network element according to the intent. The first network element sends the operation requirement and the identification of the second network element to the third network element. The third network element processes the operation requirement, and performs signaling interaction with the second network element to control the second network element to achieve the intention. The number of the second network element is one or more. The number of third network elements may be one or more, and the number of third network elements is less than or equal to the number of second network elements. When the number of the second network element is multiple, the number of the third network element is also multiple, and when the number of the second network element is one, the number of the third network element is one. A third network element can control the service operation of one or a small number of second network elements according to operational requirements. In this way, in the process of achieving the intention, there is no need to perform a large amount of signaling interaction between the first network element and the second network element, which can avoid the overload of the first network element. Moreover, the centralized translation of the intent by the first network element can also save computing resources. Each third network element performs signaling interaction with one or a small number of second network elements to achieve the intention, which can prevent the third network element from being overloaded.

Please refer to FIG. 7a. FIG. 7a is another flowchart of the intention processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. Intent processing methods include:

S701. The first network element receives the intention.

For the explanation of step S701, refer to the explanation of step S501 in the above-mentioned embodiment. To avoid redundancy, I will not repeat them here.

S702. The first network element obtains the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element according to the intention.

The explanations on step S502 in the foregoing embodiment are also applicable to step S702 in this embodiment. In order to avoid redundancy, details are not repeated here.

For example, the implementation manner of obtaining the operation requirement and the identification of the second network element by the first network element according to the intention may refer to the description of the subsequent FIG. 7b.

S703. The first network element obtains the identity of the third network element.

In some optional embodiments, the first network element obtains the identity of the third network element according to the intention. Specifically, the first network element may obtain the identifier of the third network element corresponding to the demand description information from the third database according to the intended demand description information. The third data stores the corresponding relationship between the requirement description information and the identifier of the third network element. In this way, the type of operation requirements for the processing of the third network element is more single. For example, the third network element can be dedicated to processing the operation requirements corresponding to the requirement description information, or processing a small number of operation requirements corresponding to the requirement description information, so that the third network element can be better optimized to make the processing efficiency of the operation requirements. Higher, which can improve the efficiency of intention achievement.

In other optional embodiments, the first network element obtains the identity of the third network element according to the identity of the second network element. Specifically, the first network element may obtain the identifier of the third network element corresponding to the identifier of the second network element from the fourth database. The corresponding relationship between the second network element identifier and the third network element identifier is stored in the fourth database. In this way, the third network element is dedicated to controlling the second network element to achieve the intention, or is used to control a small number of network elements to achieve the intention. The third network element only needs to interact with the second network element to achieve the intent, or interact with a small number of network elements to achieve the intent, thereby improving the efficiency of achieving the intent and reducing the hardware requirements of the third network element.

S704. The first network element sends the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element to the third network element according to the identifier of the third network element.

For the explanation of the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element, reference may be made to the explanation of the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the second network element in the foregoing embodiment. To avoid redundancy, I will not repeat them here.

It should be noted that when the third network element is only used to control one second network element to achieve an intention, the first network element may not send the second network element identifier to the third network element. In this way, the amount of data transmitted between the first network element and the third network element can be reduced, and the system load can be reduced.

S705. The third network element controls the service operation of the second network element to realize the intention according to the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element.

The operation in the operation requirement may include an operation instruction, and the third network element may control the service operation of the second network element according to the operation instruction to realize the intention. Specifically, the third network element may send the operation instruction to the second network element, and the second network element executes the operation instruction to achieve the intention.

For example, the third network element controls the service operation of the second network element according to the operation requirements and the identification of the second network element to realize the intention for the implementation manner, which can refer to the description of the subsequent FIG. 7b.

In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, after the first network element receives the intent, it obtains the operation requirements and the identifier of the second network element according to the intent, and then obtains the identifier of the third network element, and then, according to the identifier of the third network element, the first network element The three network elements send the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element, and the third network element controls the service operation of the second network element to realize the intention according to the operation requirement and the identifier of the second network element. In this way, the first network element first intensively translates the intent into operation requirements, and then sends the operation requirements to the third network element. The third network element controls the service operation of the second network element according to the operational requirements to achieve the intention. In the process of achieving the intention, one third network element can control the service operation of one or a small number of second network elements according to operational requirements. In this way, in the process of achieving the intention, there is no need to perform a large amount of signaling interaction between the first network element and the second network element, which can avoid the overload of the first network element. Moreover, the centralized translation of the intent by the first network element can also save computing resources. Each third network element performs signaling interaction with one or a small number of second network elements to achieve the intention, which can prevent the third network element from being overloaded.

S706: The third network element sends an intention accomplishment message to the first network element.

Specifically, when the first network element sends the operation request to the third network element, the identifier of the intention may also be sent to the third network element. The intention achievement message sent by the third network element to the first network element may include the identifier of the intention. In this way, when the first network element processes multiple intents, the achieved intent can be determined according to the identifier of the intent in the intent fulfillment message.

FIG. 7b is a schematic flowchart of an intention processing method according to an embodiment of the application. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 7a, in some optional embodiments, the first network element acquiring the operation requirement and the identification of the second network element according to the intention includes the following steps S7021 and S7022.

S7021. The first network element obtains the identifier of the second network element whose attribute information matches the description information from the first database. The first database includes the association relationship between the attribute information of the second network element and the identifier of the second network element.

S7022. The first network element obtains the operation requirement from the second database according to the requirement description information, and the second database includes the association relationship between the requirement description information and the operation requirement.

For the explanation of step S7021, refer to the explanation of step S5021 in the above embodiment. For the explanation of step S7022, please refer to the explanation of step S5022 in the above-mentioned embodiment. To avoid redundancy, I will not repeat them here.

In this way, the first database includes the association relationship between the attribute information of the second network element and the identifier of the second network element, and the second database includes the association relationship between the requirement description information and the operation requirement. In this way, the first network element can use the first database and the second database to translate the intended operation requirement into the operation requirement, and obtain the identification of the second network element. After the first network element sends the operation requirement to the third network element, the third network element can control the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the operation requirement to achieve the intention. This can reduce the number of signaling transmissions between the first network element and the second network element during the process of the first network element processing the intention, and reduce the load of the first network element.

In an optional embodiment, the first network element sends the operation requirement, the identification of the second network element, the correspondence relationship between the instruction format and the identification of the network element to the third network element. According to the identifier of the second network element, the third network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the second network element executes the operation instruction in the operation requirement in combination with the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element. In this way, the third network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the second network element executes the operation instruction in the operation requirement according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, without the first network element having to obtain the instruction format. Therefore, the data processing volume of the first network element can be reduced, and the load of the first network element can be reduced.

In another optional embodiment, the first network element sends the operation requirement, the identification of the second network element, the correspondence relationship between the instruction format and the identification of the network element to the third network element. After determining the operation to be performed by the second network element according to the network status of the second network element, the third network element sends the operation instruction of the operation, the correspondence relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element to the second network element. The second network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to its own identifier and in combination with the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element. In this way, the load of the third network element can be reduced.

As shown in Fig. 7b, based on the embodiment of Fig. 7a, in some optional embodiments, the third network element realizes the intention according to the operation in the operation requirement, including the following steps S7050-S7059.

S7050. The third network element obtains the type of operation in the operation requirement.

The type of operation may include, but is not limited to, workflow type, optimization type, and instruction type, for example. When the type of the operation in the operation requirement is the first type, the third network element executes step S7051. When the type of the operation in the operation requirement is the second type, the third network element executes step S7053 to identify the type of operation in the operation requirement When it is the third type, the third network element executes step S7059;

It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiment, the explanation about the type of operation is also applicable to this embodiment, and to avoid redundancy, it will not be repeated here.

S7051. The third network element obtains the network status of the second network element, and determines whether the network status of the second network element meets the achievement criterion in the operation requirement. If so, it can be determined that the intention is achieved; if not, step S7052 is executed.

The achievement criterion includes one or more parameter types and the achievement conditions corresponding to each parameter type. When the third network element recognizes that the type of operation in the operation requirement is the first type, it acquires the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion according to the network state of the second network element.

If the parameter value corresponding to each parameter type in the achievement criterion meets the achievement condition, the third network element can determine that the network status of the second network element meets the achievement criterion; otherwise, the third network element determines the network status of the second network element Does not meet the reaching criteria. For example, the requirement description information is to adjust the voice data packet loss rate to less than 1%, and the achievement criterion includes a parameter type: voice data packet loss rate. The achievement condition corresponding to this parameter type is less than or equal to 1%. When the third network element obtains that the adjusted voice data packet loss rate of the second network element is 7%, it can be confirmed that the network state of the second network element does not meet the reaching criterion.

It should be noted that, after the network state of the second network element meets the achievement criterion in the operation requirement, the third network element continues to perform step S7051. If the third network element determines that the network status of the second network element meets the achievement criteria in the operational requirements, the network status of the second network element changes, and the third network element obtains that the network status of the second network element does not meet the achievement criteria According to the criteria, the third network element sends a status change message to the first network element. The achievement status change message is used to notify the first network element that the network status of the second network element no longer meets the achievement criterion corresponding to the intention, and the second network element is in the intention unfulfilled state.

S7052. When the network status of the second network element does not meet the reaching criteria, the third network element obtains the first target operation that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations required by the operation according to the network status of the second network element, and The operating state is adjusted according to the first target operation, and after the operating state is adjusted, step S7051 is returned.

The third network element obtains the parameter value corresponding to each network state parameter in the execution condition according to the network state of the second network element. If the parameter value corresponding to each network state parameter in the execution condition meets the parameter condition, the third network element can confirm that the network state of the second network element meets the execution condition, and set the operation corresponding to the execution condition as the first target operating. Otherwise, the third network element confirms that the network status of the second network element does not meet the execution condition.

For example, the requirement description information is to adjust the voice data packet loss rate to less than 1%. The corresponding operation requirements of the requirement description information include operation a and operation b. The execution condition of operation a is that the voice data packet loss rate is greater than 1% and less than or equal to 5%, the execution condition b of operation b is that the voice data packet loss rate is greater than 5% and less than or equal to 10%. In this example, the network state parameter of the execution condition a is the voice data packet loss rate, and the parameter condition corresponding to the execution condition a is greater than 1% and less than or equal to 5%. The network state parameter of the execution condition b is the voice data packet loss rate, and the parameter condition for the execution condition b is greater than 5% and less than or equal to 10%. When the third network element obtains that the adjusted voice data packet loss rate of the second network element is 7%, it can be confirmed that the adjusted voice data packet loss rate of the second network element meets the execution condition b of operation b, and then operation b is regarded as the first A target operation.

After the third network element obtains one or more first target operations, it controls the service operation of the second network element according to the first target operations to adjust the operating state. After adjusting the operating state, the third network element returns to step S7051 to determine whether the network state of the second network element meets the reaching criterion. If the network status of the second network element does not meet the achievement criterion, the third network element performs step S7052 again, and according to the network status of the second network element, retrieves the first one that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations required by the operation. Target operation, and adjust the running state according to the first target operation. In this way, the third network element cyclically executes steps S7051 and S7052 until the network status of the second network element meets the reaching criterion.

Specifically, the operations in the operation requirements include operation instructions. The third network element may send an operation instruction of the first target operation to the second network element. After the second network element executes the operation instruction, the network state of the second network element after the execution of the operation instruction is sent to the third network element. If the network status does not meet the reaching criterion, the third network element re-acquires the first target operation according to the network status sent by the second network element. Then the third network element sends the operation instruction of the first target operation to the second network element. In this way, the third network element sends operation instructions to the second network element multiple times according to the network state of the second network element, and the second network element executes the operation instruction to adjust the network state until the network state of the second network element meets the reached criterion.

It should be noted that the first target operation in the embodiment of the present application is a variable. Each time step S7052 is executed, the third network element will re-acquire from one or more operations that meet the execution conditions according to the network status of the second network element. The first target operation.

If the first target operation that meets the execution condition is not obtained, the third network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

In some optional embodiments, the operation requirements corresponding to the operations of the first type further include execution constraints. The third network element always satisfies the execution constraint during the process of controlling the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the operation to achieve the intention. In this way, when the operating state of the second network element is required in the process of realizing the intention, for example, when it is necessary to ensure that the service operating state of the second network element is always kept normally, the execution constraint can be set to make the second network element's operating status. In the process of realizing this intent, the business operation status always meets the requirements.

It should be noted that the execution conditions in the operation requirements are optional. When the operation requirement of the first type includes an operation but does not include execution conditions, in step S7042, the operation is the first target operation, and the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the target first operation .

Specifically, the third network element sends the operation instruction of the target first operation to the second network element. The second network element executes the operation instruction to adjust the operating state.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the first target operation to the second network element Previously, according to the identification of the second network element, the corresponding relationship between the identification of the network element and the instruction format, the instruction format that the second network element needs to meet when the operation instruction is executed is obtained, and then the operation instruction in the first target operation is converted into In this instruction format, the operation instruction after the conversion format is obtained. The third network element sends the converted operation instruction to the second network element. In this way, the third network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the first target operation to the second network element Correspondence with the identification of the network element and the instruction format. Before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the first target operation, it obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format and its own identifier, and then sets the instruction format of the operation instruction in the first target operation. The operation instruction is converted into the instruction format, and the operation instruction after the conversion format is obtained. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the data processing volume of the third network element can be reduced, and the load of the third network element can be reduced.

S7053. The third network element obtains the network status of the second network element, and determines whether the network status of the second network element meets the reaching criterion;

The explanation of this step S7053 can refer to the explanation of the above step S7051, in order to avoid redundancy, it will not be repeated here.

S7054. When the network status of the second network element does not meet the achievement criterion, the third network element obtains a second target operation that meets the execution conditions according to the network status of the second network element, and controls the second network element according to the second target operation Adjust the operating status;

For the specific process of obtaining the second target operation by the third network element, refer to the foregoing process for obtaining the first target operation by the third network element. Each of the one or more operations includes an operation instruction, so after the third network element obtains the second target operation, the operation instruction of the second target operation may be sent to the second network element. The second network element executes the operation instruction of the second target operation to control the service operation of the second network element, thereby adjusting the operating state.

If the second target operation that meets the execution condition is not obtained, the third network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

S7055. The third network element obtains the network status after the adjusted operating status of the second network element, and determines whether the adjusted operating status of the network meets the achievement criterion, if so, confirms that the instruction is reached, and if not, executes step 7056;

The achievement criterion includes one or more parameter types and the achievement conditions corresponding to each parameter type. After the third network element adjusts the operating state, the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion is obtained according to the network state after the adjusted operating state. If the third network element confirms that the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion meets the corresponding achievement condition according to the network status after adjusting the operating status, the third network element can determine the adjusted operating status of the second network element The network state of the network element meets the reaching criterion; otherwise, the third network element determines that the network state after the adjusted operating state of the second network element does not meet the reaching criterion.

Specifically, the third network element may send an operation instruction of the second target operation to the second network element. After the second network element executes the operation instruction, the network state of the second network element after the execution of the operation instruction is sent to the third network element. If the network status does not meet the achievement criterion, the third network element adjusts the second target operation or reacquires the second target operation according to the network status sent by the second network element. Then the third network element sends the adjusted operation instruction of the second target operation or the reacquired operation instruction of the second target operation to the second network element. In this way, the third network element sends operation instructions to the second network element multiple times according to the network state of the second network element, and the second network element executes the operation instruction to adjust the network state until the network state of the second network element meets the reached criterion.

S7056. When the network state after the adjusted operating state does not meet the achievement criterion, the third network element determines whether the adjusted operating state of the network state meets the execution condition corresponding to the second target operation, and if it does not meet the execution condition of the second target operation, execute step S7057. If yes, step S7058 is executed.

S7057. The third network element reacquires the second target operation that meets the execution conditions from one or more operations according to the network status after the operation status of the second network element is adjusted, and controls the second network according to the reacquired second target operation Yuan adjusts the operating status. After the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state, return to step S7055.

It can be understood that after adjusting the operating state, the network state of the second network element has changed, and the network state of the second network element may not meet the execution condition corresponding to the second target operation obtained according to the network state before the adjustment. Then, after adjusting the operating state, the third network element determines whether the network state after the adjusted operating state meets the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation, and when the adjusted operating state does not meet the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation When the condition is met, the second target operation that meets the execution condition is obtained again according to the network state after the adjusted operating state. In this way, the second target operation can be made consistent with the network state after adjusting the operating state.

For example, when it is acquired in step S7053 that the voice data packet loss rate of the second network element is 7%, then in step S7054, the third network element determines that the second target operation is operation b, and adjusts the operating state according to operation b. Then step S7055 is executed. The third network element obtains that the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state is 4%. If the voice data packet loss rate after adjusting the operating state is greater than 1% and less than 5%, the second network element can be confirmed The network state after adjusting the operating state does not meet the achievement criterion, and the network state after adjusting the operating state does not meet the execution conditions corresponding to the second target operation. Since the voice data packet loss rate of the second network element after the adjustment of the operating state is 4% meets the execution condition a of operation a, the third network element re-determines the operation a as being 4% according to the voice data packet loss rate after the adjustment of the operating state The second target operation. The third network element then controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to operation a.

S7058. The third network element modifies the second target operation according to the achievement criterion, and controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the modified second target operation. After controlling the second network element to adjust the operating state, the third network element returns to perform step S7055.

Specifically, in the third network element achievement criterion, the difference between the parameter value corresponding to each parameter type and the achievement condition corresponding to the parameter type adjusts the operation instruction in the second operation.

The third network element can obtain the reward formula according to the parameter conditions in the achievement criterion, and then adjust the operation instruction in the second operation according to the parameter value of each parameter type in the achievement criterion, the achievement condition corresponding to the parameter type and the reward formula, so that After the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the adjusted operation instruction, the parameter value obtained according to the network state of the second network element is closer to the achievement condition corresponding to the parameter value. Performing steps S7055 and S7058 multiple times in this way can make the network status of the second network element gradually approach the reaching criterion until it meets the reaching criterion.

In one embodiment, the operation requirement includes a reward formula. In other words, the operation requirements obtained by the first network element from the second database according to the requirement description information include an achievement criterion, a reward formula, one or more operations, and execution conditions for performing each operation. In another embodiment, when the operational requirements obtained by the first network element from the second database include the achievement criteria, one or more operations, and the execution conditions for executing each operation, but does not include the reward formula, the first network element The element may obtain the reward formula according to the achievement criterion in the operation requirement, and send the reward formula to the third network element. In this way, the third network element can receive the reward formula from the first network element, which can reduce the data processing volume of the third network element.

In yet another embodiment, the operating requirements include constraints. The third network element needs to meet the constraint condition in the process of adjusting the operating state according to the operation. The third network element can obtain a reward formula according to the constraint condition and the achievement criterion. Or the first network element obtains the reward formula according to the constraint condition and the achievement criterion, and sends the reward formula to the third network element.

After the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state, the third network element executes step S7055. In this way, the third network element cyclically executes steps S7055-S7058 until the network state after the second network element adjusts the operating state meets the reaching criterion.

It should be noted that in the operation requirements corresponding to the second operation type, the execution conditions are optional. When the operation requirement corresponding to the second type of operation includes the achievement criterion and an operation, but does not include the execution condition, in step S7064, the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the one operation; In step S7065, if the network state after the adjusted operating state of the second network element does not meet the achieved criterion, step S7058 is performed until the network state after the adjusted operating state of the second network element meets the achieved criterion; if it meets the achieved criterion , Then confirm that the intention is achieved. In this way, it is unnecessary to perform step S7056 and step S7057.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the second target operation to the second network element Previously, according to the corresponding relationship between the identification of the second network element, the identification of the network element, and the instruction format, the instruction format of the operation instruction when the second network element executes the operation instruction was obtained, and then the operation instruction in the second target operation was converted into the instruction Format, get the operation instruction after converting the format. The third network element sends the converted operation instruction to the second network element. In this way, the third network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the second target operation to the second network element Correspondence with the identification of the network element and the instruction format. Before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the second target operation, it obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format and its own identifier, and then sets the instruction format of the operation instruction in the second target operation. The operation instruction is converted into the instruction format, and the operation instruction after the conversion format is obtained. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the data processing volume of the third network element can be reduced, and the load of the third network element can be reduced.

Optionally, when the operation type is the first operation or the second operation, if the network operation status of the second network element meets the achievement criterion, step S706 is executed. In this way, the first network element can receive the intention fulfillment message sent by the third network element, and notify the intention sender that the intention has been fulfilled according to the intention fulfillment message.

S7059. The third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the operation in the operation demand;

If the third network element controls the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state according to the third target operation, it is confirmed that the intention is achieved. If the third network element does not successfully control the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state, it is confirmed that the intention execution failed. When the intention is achieved, step S505 may be performed; when the execution of the intention fails, the second network element may send a message of failure to execute the intention to the first network element. In this way, the second network element can feed back the execution of the intention to the first network element in time.

Specifically, when the operation type is the third type, and the operation requirements include multiple operations and the execution conditions corresponding to each operation, and do not include the achievement criteria, the third network element will select from multiple operations based on the network status of the second network element. During the operation, a third target operation that meets the execution condition is acquired, and the second network element is controlled to adjust the running state according to the third target operation. Specifically, the operations in the operation requirements include operation instructions. The third network element may send an operation instruction of the third target operation to the second network element, so that the second network element executes the operation instruction to adjust the operating state, thereby achieving control of the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the third target operation. If the third network element controls the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state according to the third target operation, it is confirmed that the intention is achieved. If the third network element does not obtain the third target operation that meets the execution conditions, or obtains the third target operation but does not control the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state according to the third target operation, the third network element sends a notification to the first network. Meta sends an intent execution failure message. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

When the operation type is the third type, and the operation requirement includes an operation, and does not include execution conditions and achievement criteria, the operation is the third target operation, and the third network element controls the second network element to adjust the operating state according to the one operation . After the third network element controls the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state according to the one operation, it executes confirmation that the intention is achieved. If the third network element does not control the second network element to successfully adjust the operating state according to the one operation, the third network element sends an intention execution failure message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can feed back the intention execution status to the intention sender according to the intention execution failure message. The first network element can also re-acquire the operation requirement corresponding to the intent according to the intent execution failure message.

In some embodiments, the operation requirements corresponding to the third type of operation further include execution constraints. In the process of controlling the second network element to adjust the operation state of the third network element according to the operation in the operation requirement, the second network element needs to always satisfy the execution constraint.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the third target operation to the second network element Previously, according to the corresponding relationship between the identification of the second network element, the identification of the network element, and the instruction format, the instruction format of the operation instruction when the second network element executes the operation instruction was obtained, and then the operation instruction in the third target operation was converted into the instruction Format, get the operation instruction after converting the format. The third network element sends the converted operation instruction to the second network element. In this way, the third network element obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction in the operation requirement is executed according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction format and the identifier of the network element, and the first network element does not need to obtain the instruction format, thereby reducing the number of The data processing volume of one network element reduces the load of the first network element.

Optionally, when the operation requirement sent by the first network element to the third network element includes the correspondence between the identifier of the network element and the instruction format, the third network element sends the operation instruction in the third target operation to the second network element Correspondence with the identification of the network element and the instruction format. Before the second network element executes the operation instruction in the third target operation, it obtains the instruction format of the operation instruction when the operation instruction is executed according to the correspondence between the network element’s identifier and the instruction format and its own identifier, and then sets the instruction format of the operation instruction in the third target operation. The operation instruction is converted into the instruction format, and the operation instruction after the conversion format is obtained. The second network element then executes the operation instruction after the format conversion. In this way, the data processing volume of the third network element can be reduced, and the load of the third network element can be reduced.

It can be seen that using the above steps S7050-S7059, the third network element can control the second network element to execute the corresponding state adjustment scheme according to different operation types and operation requirements, so as to achieve the intention.

Optionally, if the execution is directed to the intentional requirement, the time from executing step S7050 has exceeded the preset time, and the network status of the second network element still does not meet the reaching criterion, the third network element sends the intentional execution to the first network element. Failure message. In this way, the third network element can promptly feed back to the first network element when the network status of the second network cannot meet the execution conditions, so that the intention sender can timely understand the execution of the intention. Optionally, if the time to execute step S7050 has exceeded the preset time for the intended demand, and the second network element has not reached the reaching criterion, the second network element may stop adjusting the network state according to the operation in the operation demand; or When a network element receives the intention execution failure message sent by the second network element, it sends a stop execution instruction to the second network element to instruct the second network element to stop adjusting the network state according to the operation in the operation requirement. This can avoid waste of resources of the second network element and the third network element due to the third network element sending operation instructions to the second network element multiple times, and the second network element executing the operation instructions multiple times for a long time but failing to achieve the intention.

Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, in some embodiments, when the type of operation is the first type or the second type, the third network element can obtain the network status of the second network element at a preset time interval to determine the second network element Whether the status of the network meets the reach criteria. If the network status does not meet the reaching criterion, the third network element sends a message of unfulfilled intention to the first network element. If the network status meets the achievement criterion, the third network element sends an intention achievement message to the first network element. In this way, the first network element can promptly feedback the implementation of the intention to the intention sender according to the intention unfulfilled message, the intention execution failure message, or the intention fulfillment message sent by the third network element.
