Description

通信方法及装置、系统
本申请要求于2020年06月20日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202010569778.X、发明名称为“通信方法及装置、系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及网络智能管理技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置、系统。
背景技术
为了屏蔽设备厂商实现上的差异化,启动了意图驱动管理(intent driven management,IDM)。网络管理系统(network management system,NMS)中只保留意图(intent)模型,向网元管理系统(element management system,EMS)传递意图表达式。该意图表达式只描述做什么(what),不涉及怎么(how)做,只需具备无线领域基本的概念知识即可完成意图设计,从而降低了运维门槛。
EMS进行意图转译后,从意图知识库得到意图操作、意图目标和执行条件。例如,某一意图转译后可采取的指令操作有三种,分别对应三种不同的执行条件。在外部系统多次实施该意图时,第一种执行条件对应的指令操作多次不能满足意图目标。然而,EMS在下一次实施该意图时,仍然不能避免选择第一种执行条件对应的指令操作,造成意图目标一直不能满足。

具体实施方式
体验式网络智能(Experiential Networked Intelligence,ENI)是行业规范工作组定义的一种感知网络管理系统架构,运用人工智能和上下文感知等技术手段优化和调整网络运营。ENI系统共包含10个功能模块(functional block,FB),并分为输入功能模块、输出功能模块、分析功能模块以及决策功能模块四大类。模块分类以及各类模块的功能如下所述:
输入功能模块:数据接入(data ingestion)功能模块和标准化(normalization)功能模块,负责接收外部系统的数据以及对数据进行归一化等操作。
输出功能模块:输出产生(output generation)功能模块和反规范化(denormalization)功能模块,负责将系统内部命令转化为外部系统能够处理的格式并发送给外部系统。
分析功能模块:知识管理(knowledge management)功能模块,上下文感知(context awareness)功能模块和认知管理(cognition management)功能模块,负责对现有的网络上下文进行感知分析并且预测未来的网络状态。
决策功能模块:策略管理(policy management)功能模块,状态感知(situational awareness)功能模块和模型驱动工程(model-driven engineering)功能模块,在对网络状态感知的基础上,根据策略目标生成新的策略并对策略进行编排,并将操作命令发送给输出模块。
ENI定义了基于意图的ENI融合架构,并定义了与意图转译和意图保障相关的功能模块。如图1所示的基于意图的ENI融合架构示意图,具体地,该ENI融合架构在知识管理功能模块中加入了意图知识库(intent knowledge repository),在策略管理功能模块中加入了意图策略执行(intent policy fulfillment)子功能模块,以及还引入了一个独立的意图转译(intent translation)功能模块。
其中,意图转译功能模块,用于将收到的意图策略进行意图转译。
意图知识库,用于存放专家经验以及网元的信息,可以作为一个独立的功能模块,也可以放在ENI现有架构中的知识管理功能模块中。
意图策略执行功能模块,用于实现意图执行及维持功能,负责对意图策略进行编排并持续满足外部系统的意图需求。
基于意图的ENI融合架构在以上三个功能模块增强的基础上,还定义了意图转译和意图保障的相关模块和接口。如图2所示的基于意图的ENI融合架构内外部接口示意图,为了支持意图策略,除了对已有ENI接口进行增强外,还在原有接口的基础上加入了4个新的接口,分别为运营支撑系统(operation support system,OSS)与融合系统间处理策略相关的接口Eoss-eni-pol,APP与融合系统间处理策略相关的接口Eapp-eni-pol,意图转译模块与知识管理模块之间的接口I ITA-KM-CMD,意图转译模块与策略管理模块间的接口I ITA-PM-CMD
如图3所示,为本申请适用的意图驱动管理系统的结构示意图,该意图驱动管理系统包括IDM服务消费者(IDM service consumer)、IDM服务生产者(IDM service producer)和网络基础设施(network infrastructure)。该网络基础设施可以是物理的(physical),也可以是虚拟的(virtual)。IDM采用服务化的接口来实现意图的下发。具体地,IDM服务消费者通过调用意图驱动管理服务(intent driven management service,IDMS)接口将意图下发至IDM服务生产者;IDM服务生产者将意图转译为具体的执行策略下发给网络基础设施, 并在意图执行过程中不断监测网络状态以保障意图的达成或维持意图。
其中,IDM服务消费者下发的意图包括类型A(type A)和类型B(type B)两种。
类型A,包括操作和通知,与具体意图类型无关,例如是一个用于意图传递的通用操作。
类型B,意图模型,用于对意图表达中应包含的信息进行建模。目前给出的建模元素至少应包含“动作”和“对象”。
具体地,在意图模型中,动作由一个动作名和完成该动作所需的一系列属性组成;对象则由一个对象名和一系列用于标识具体对象实例的属性组成。因此,意图模型的形式化表达为如下意图表达式(为了表达简洁,下文在不引起歧义的情况下省略Driven):
<intentExpression>:=<IntentDrivenAction><IntentDrivenObject>
<IntentDrivenAction>:=<IntentDrivenActionName><IntentDrivenActionProperties>
<IntentDrivenObject>:=<IntentDrivenObjectName><IntentDrivenObjectProperties>
例如,“数据速率小于5Mbps的用户百分比小于1%并且平均数据速率不小于7Mbps”的意图表达模型如下表1所示:
表1用户速率优化意图表达
Figure PCTCN2021100747-appb-000001
如图4所示,为图3所示的IDM系统应用于网络设备管理时,意图转译和保障阶段涉及的功能模块示意图。基于意图的ENI融合系统(在图4中具体为EMS)架构中支持对意图的转译和保障。在网络设备管理领域,可以将ENI的功能模块嵌入网元管理系统(element management system,EMS)。网络管理系统(network management system,NMS)向EMS发送意图,EMS对意图进行转译,将最终生成的命令发送给辅助系统(assisted system)(又可以称为网络设备(network equipment,NE))。NE执行完命令,最终达成意图。其中,NMS可以是用户(user)、应用程序(application)、以及运营支撑系统和业务支撑系统等功能实体(operation support system-and business support system-like functionality,OSS-and BSS-like functionality)。
具体地,在意图转译阶段,NMS下发意图实施请求到意图融合系统中后,经过knowledge management FB处理后,intent translation FB从intent knowledge repository中查询并得到意图相关的意图操作(intent operations)、意图达成条件(intent fulfillment criterion)(又称为意图目标)和执行条件(execution condition),依次经过context awareness FB、situational awareness FB、MDE FB处理,并由policy management FB执行意图。
在意图保障阶段,网络性能数据依次经过knowledge management FB、context awareness FB、situational awareness FB、MDE FB和policy management FB进行意图性能数据交互、 意图达成情况及意图策略更新决策等来产生意图操作并执行意图。
然而,在进行意图转译后,从意图知识库得到意图操作、意图目标和执行条件。例如,某一意图转译后可采取的指令操作有三种,分别对应三种不同的执行条件。在外部系统多次实施该意图时,在第一种执行条件对应的指令操作多次不能满足意图达成条件。然而,在下一次实施该意图时,仍然不能避免选择第一种执行条件对应的指令操作,造成意图达成条件一直不能满足。
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置、系统,第一网元可以根据达成第一意图目标的可信程度和/或第一信息选择第一操作,可以提高第一操作的选择的准确性。
图5为本申请实施例适用的通信系统的架构示意图,该通信系统100包括第一网元200、第二网元300和第三网元400。第二网元300将创建好的意图传输给第一网元200执行。第一网元200接收到第二网元300的意图,转译该意图,从意图知识库得到意图操作、意图目标和执行条件,并对意图进行编排等操作,编排为第三网元400可执行的命令,并传输给第三网元400执行。第三网元400接收到第一网元12的可执行命令,执行该命令。该通信系统应用于网络管理场景时,该第一网元可以是如图4所示的EMS。该第二网元是意图的创建者,可以是如图4所示的NMS。该第三网元是意图的作用者(infrastructure),可以是如图4所示的NE。
如前所述,基于意图的ENI融合系统支持对意图的转译和保障。EMS在执行上述操作过程中可以分为两个阶段:意图转译阶段、意图保障阶段。在意图转译阶段涉及data ingestion and normalization FB、knowledge management FB、intent translation FB、context awareness FB、situational awareness FB、model-driven engineering FB、policy management FB和output generation and denormalization FB。在意图转译阶段,NMS下发意图实施请求到EMS后,转译中意图转译模块从意图知识库(意图知识库可以位于知识管理功能模块)中查询并得到意图操作、意图目标和执行条件,并由policy management FB执行该意图。在意图保障阶段,policy management FB可根据意图性能数据、意图达成情况以及意图策略更新情况更改意图操作。
为了支持意图知识管理,图6所示为基于意图的ENI融合系统接口中新增了的4个新的接口,分别为cognition management FB与knowledge management FB之间接口I KM-CM-CMD,cognition management FB与context awareness FB之间接口I CA-CM-CMD,cognition management FB与policy management FB之间接口I PM-CM-CMD,cognition management FB与model driven engineer FB之间接口I MDE-CM-CMD
本申请的实施例中,意图系统中由cognition management FB对知识进行分析和推理并确定需要更新的意图知识,由意图knowledge management FB对intent knowledge repository进行更新操作。
intent knowledge repository中在意图策略操作中增加以下至少一项意图知识:达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度(reliability)(用于指示达成第一意图目标的可靠性)和第一信息(用于指示第一意图操作对第二意图的影响)。其中,第一信息又包括事件(events)和影响值(impact)。其中,事件包括第二意图的约束条件或意图目标或执行条件,影响值用于指示对事件的影响程度。意图转译后可获得以上意图知识。
意图保障时,根据意图性能数据、意图达成情况以及意图系统产生策略更新意图策略操作的第一可信程度和第一信息。
其中,reliability,events和impact的定义如下:
reliability的定义及示例:
定义和取值:reliability是用于评价意图策略在采用某个操作后的意图目标达成情况,初始值为100%,变化区间[0%,100%]。
计算方法:对于意图策略p,其设定的达成目标为g,采用操作o前reliability为r,采用操作o后,监测当前意图目标为j,可以根据以下方法更新意图策略p采用操作o时的reliability:
如果当前意图目标j已经满足达成目标g,reliability在r的基础上增加r1,更新r=r+r1,r最大为100%。
如果当前意图目标j没有满足达成目标g,但是在接近达成目标g(比较上次的检测结果),reliability在r的基础上增加r2,更新r=r+r2,r最大为100%。
如果当前意图目标j没有满足达成目标g,但是在远离达成目标g(比较上次的检测结果),reliability在r的基础上减少r3,更新r=r-r3,r最小为0%。
其中,r1、r2和r3可以是用户自定义的,或ENI系统根据经验设置的。
示例:意图目标为保证小区吞吐量为20,操作为提高下行功率,操作发生前reliability为80%,现在操作采用后,根据以下情况更新reliability(r1=10%,r2=5%,r3=10%):
1.当前小区吞吐量为20,r=r+r1=80%+10%=90%。
2.当前小区吞吐量为18(上次监测结果为15),r=r+r2=80%+5%=85%。
3.当前小区吞吐量为12(上次监测结果为15),r=r-r3=80%-10%=70%。
events及其impact的定义及示例:
events的定义:根据不同意图策略之间执行和维持过程中是否有影响决定。假设当前系统存在意图B,在意图B执行过程当中新加入意图A,意图A采用操作O,操作O影响了意图B的意图目标,则采用事件用于指示意图A的操作O对意图B的影响。
impact定义和取值:impact用于指示/评价操作O对受影响的意图B的影响程度,具体用于指示操作O对意图B的约束条件或意图目标或执行条件的影响值。其取值可以是零和负值。具体取值可以为[-1,0]。
impact的计算方法:
一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的意图目标已达成。则第一网元执行第一操作后,若第二意图的意图目标从已达成变成未达成,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或若第二意图的意图目标处于目标已达成且达成情况没有改变,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的意图目标的达成情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的意图目标的影响。
另一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的约束条件已满足。则第一网元执行第一操作后,若执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,第二意图的约束条件从已满足变成未满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或 执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,对第二意图的约束条件已满足情况没有改变,第二意图一直处于约束条件已满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。即第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的约束条件的满足情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的约束条件的影响。
又一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的执行条件已满足。则第一网元执行第一操作后,若执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,第二意图的执行条件从已满足变成未满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,对第二意图的执行条件已满足情况没有改变,第二意图一直处于执行条件已满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。即第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的执行条件的满足情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的执行条件的影响。
可以理解的是,也可以根据上述一种或多种情况确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值。
以操作O对意图B的意图目标产生影响为例,意图A的意图目标为保证小区吞吐量为80,意图A采用操作O增大下行功率。意图B的意图目标为保证小区能耗小于100。意图A的操作O会对意图B产生影响。采用操作O后,若意图B中小区能耗当前为120(上次监测结果为90),则impact为-1;若意图B中小区能耗当前为90(上次监测结果为90),则impact为0。
下面结合图1至图12,对本申请提供的通信方法进行详细描述:
如图7所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的流程示意图,该方法包括以下步骤:
S101、第一网元获取第一意图的第一知识。
第一网元在接收到第二网元下发的第一意图后,需要转译该第一意图,从意图知识库得到第一意图的第一知识,并根据该第一知识对第一意图进行编排等操作,编排为第三网元可执行的命令。其中,第一知识包括:第一意图操作(intentOperations)、第一意图达成条件(intentFulfillmentCriterion)(又称为第一意图目标)。其中,第一意图操作的信息结构为:intentOperations[执行条件(executionConditon),操作类型(operationType),操作(operation)]。在本实施例中,该第一意图操作中还可以包括达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度,或者,该第一意图操作中还可以包括第一信息,或者,该第一意图操作中还可以包括达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度和第一信息。
其中,第一可信程度用于指示达成第一意图目标的可靠性,即表示意图策略在采用该意图操作后的意图目标达成情况。在意图创建时,初始化该第一可信程度,初始值为100%。在后续意图保障过程中,更新该第一可信程度,变化区间为[0%,100%]。具体地,采用该意图操作后,可能可以达成第一意图目标,或者没有达成第一意图目标,但是在接近达成该第一意图目标,在原来的第一可信程度基础上增加一个可信程度增量;采用该意图操作后,没有达成第一意图目标,且在远离第一意图目标,在原来的第一可信程度基础上减少一个可信程度增量。
第一网元在执行第一意图操作后,可能对正在第一网元中执行的第二意图产生影响。该第二意图与第一意图不同,可以是第一网元中除第一意图之外的任一正在执行的意图。 其中,第一信息用于指示第一意图操作对第二意图的影响。具体地,该第一信息包括事件和影响值,该事件包括第二意图的约束条件或意图目标或执行条件,即第一信息用于指示第一意图操作对第二意图的约束条件或意图目标或执行条件的影响值或影响程度。该影响值可以为零,负值。
具体地,在一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的意图目标已达成。则第一网元执行第一操作后,若第二意图的意图目标从已达成变成未达成,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或若第二意图的意图目标处于目标已达成且达成情况没有改变,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。即第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的意图目标的达成情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的意图目标的影响。
在另一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的约束条件已满足。则第一网元执行第一操作后,执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,第二意图的约束条件从已满足变成未满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,对第二意图的约束条件已满足情况没有改变,第二意图一直处于约束条件已满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。即第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的约束条件的满足情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的约束条件的影响。
在又一种情况下,第一网元未执行第一操作,而第二意图已经执行并且第二意图的执行条件已满足。则第一网元执行第一操作后,执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,第二意图的执行条件从已满足变成未满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为负值;或执行第一操作相对于未执行第一操作时,对第二意图的执行条件已满足情况没有改变,第二意图一直处于执行条件已满足,则确定第一操作对第二意图的影响值为零。即第一操作对第二意图的影响值是根据第二意图的执行条件的满足情况确定的,或者说,第一知识体现为第一操作对第二意图的执行条件的影响。
第一网元获取第一意图的第一知识,具体地,可以有以下实现方式:
在一个实现中,第一网元自身确定第一意图的第一知识。
具体地,意图创建或意图转译过程中获得的第一知识存储在第一网元的意图知识库中。第一网元接收来自第二网元的第一意图的表达式,对该第一意图的表达式进行词法和语法分析,获取第一意图的表达式对应的意图关键词。该意图关键词包括以下信息中的一项或多项:第一意图目标、第一意图作用的区域、第一意图作用的网元名称。第一网元根据获取到的意图关键词,从意图知识库获取意图关键词对应的第一知识。
在意图保障过程中,第一网元从第三网元获取意图性能数据。第一网元根据获取的意图性能数据,确定第一意图的第一条件的满足情况。其中,第一条件包括以下一项或多项信息:第一意图目标,第一意图的约束条件,第一意图的执行条件。第一网元根据第一条件的满足情况和第一意图的第二知识,确定第一意图的第一知识,其中,第一意图的第二知识为第一意图的第一知识更新前的知识。该第一知识可以是第一可信程度。具体地,第一意图目标达成,确定第一可信程度为第二可信程度与第一可信程度增量之和;或第一意图目标未达成,且第一意图目标的第一达成情况与第一意图目标的第二达成情况之差为负 值,确定第一可信程度为第二可信程度与第二可信程度增量之和,第二可信程度增量小于第一可信程度增量;或第一意图目标未达成,且第一达成情况与第二达成情况之差为正值,确定第一可信程度为第二可信程度与第三可信程度增量之差;其中,第二可信程度为第一可信程度更新前的可信程度,第一达成情况为第一意图目标在第一时间段的达成情况与第一意图目标之差的绝对值,第二达成情况为第一意图目标在第二时间段的达成情况与第一意图目标之差的绝对值,第二时间段早于第一时间段。第一网元确定第一意图的第一知识,可以理解为,第一网元通过更新第二知识得到第一知识。第一网元可以将第一知识更新到意图知识库中。
在另一个实现中,第一网元可以从第二网元接收第一意图的第一知识,从而获取第一意图的第一知识。具体地,第一网元从第二网元接收第一信息。该第二网元为NMS,用户、APP、运营支撑系统或业务支撑系统等功能实体。第二网元向第一网元下发第一意图,第一网元在执行第一意图的过程中或执行第一意图后,可以通知第二网元第一意图对应的操作为第一意图操作,从而第二网元可以获知第一意图操作。第二网元在下发第一意图之前、同时或之后,还可以向第一网元下发第二意图。其中,第二意图与第一意图不同。第二网元在获取第一意图对应的第一意图操作之后,确定第一意图操作对第二意图有影响。具体地,第一意图操作对第二意图的约束条件或意图目标或执行条件有影响。第二网元确定第一意图操作对第二意图有影响后,向第一网元发送第一信息。该第一信息用于指示第一意图操作对第二意图的影响。从而,第一网元可以从第二网元接收该第一信息。该第一信息用于上述第一操作的选择。
S102、第一网元根据第一意图的第一知识选择第一操作。
第一网元获取了第一意图的第一知识后,该第一知识包括达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度和/或第一信息,可以根据该第一知识选择第一操作。该第一操作用于执行第一意图。
具体地,第一网元根据第一意图目标的第一达成情况、一个或多个已存在的意图操作对应的第二知识、和第一意图的第一知识,在一个或多个已存在的意图操作中确定第一操作。该第一操作可以是上述第一意图操作,也可以是其它操作。
第一网元根据第一知识选择第一操作,该选择过程考虑了达成第一意图目标的可靠性,和/或第一操作对第二意图的影响,从而提高了达成第一意图目标的可靠性;所选择的第一操作避免了对第一网元中正在执行的其它意图的影响,从而提高了达成第一网元中多个意图的意图目标的可靠性。
根据本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法,第一网元可以根据达成第一意图目标的可信程度和/或第一信息选择第一操作,可以提高第一操作的选择的准确性。
下面具体描述意图转译和意图保障过程中涉及的通信方法流程:
第一阶段:意图转译阶段
如图8所示,为本申请实施例提供的意图转译过程中的通信方法流程示意图,示例性地,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
S201、第二网元向ENI系统发送意图创建发起(createintent invoking)请求,具体地,发送该意图创建发起请求到第一网元的data ingestion and normalization FB。
在这里,第二网元也可以称为意图创建者。第二网元可以是NMS、用户、APP、运营 支撑系统和业务支撑系统等功能实体。如图8所示,总的来说,该第二网元是相对于ENI系统(第一网元)来说的外部系统。
该意图创建发起请求携带第一意图的意图表达式。该意图表达式可以参考上文描述。该意图创建发起请求用于请求在第一网元内部创建第一意图。该请求通过ENI与外部系统的策略/意图接口传递。
S202、data ingestion and normalization FB接收到该意图创建发起请求后,进行数据归一化操作并向knowledge management FB发送归一化后的第一意图。
S203、knowledge management FB存储归一化后的第一意图并确定发送该意图的功能实体。
即knowledge management FB确定发送该意图的功能实体是NMS、用户、APP、运营支撑系统和业务支撑系统等功能实体中的任一个。
S204、knowledge management FB向intent translation FB发送意图转译请求。
该意图转移请求用于请求对上述第一意图进行转译。
S205、intent translation FB识别意图转译请求并给该意图分配意图标识(intent ID)。
该意图标识用于标识第一意图。
S206、intent translation FB向denormalization and output generation FB发送意图创建发起请求响应准备。
S207、denormalization and output generation FB向第二网元发送意图创建发起请求响应。
该响应用于指示接收到上述意图创建发起请求。
S208、intent translation FB对第一意图进行意图解析。
具体地,意图解析包括对第一意图的意图表达式进行词法和语法分析,获取第一意图的意图表达式对应的意图关键词,即获得查询意图知识库以及网络知识库所需要的意图关键字。该意图关键词包括以下信息中的一项或多项:第一意图目标、第一意图作用的区域、第一意图的网元名称。
S209、如果步骤S208第一意图解析存在错误,intent translation FB向denormalization
and output generation FB发送意图错误发起通知准备。
S210、denormalization and output generation FB向第二网元发送意图错误发起通知。
S211、intent translation FB将第一意图解析错误更新到intent knowledge repository中。
S212、如果步骤S208第一意图解析未存在错误,intent translation FB将意图关键词更新并储存到intent knowledge repository中。
S213、intent translation FB向knowledge management FB发送意图知识查询请求,携带S208中的意图关键词,从intent knowledge repository子FB获得意图知识/网络信息。该意图知识查询请求用于请求获取上述意图关键词对应的第一意图的第一知识。进一步地,该意图知识查询请求还可以用于请求获取上述意图关键词对应的网络信息。
S214、knowledge management FB根据接收到的意图关键词,从intent knowledge repository子FB查询到意图关键词对应的第一知识后,向intent translation FB发送意图知识查询请求回应。该意图知识查询请求回应携带上述意图标识、第一意图目标(intentFulfillmentCriterion)和第一意图操作。
目前的第一意图操作(intentOperations)包含的信息为:intentOperations[executionConditon,operationType,operation]。而本实施例对第一意图操作所包含的信息进行了补充。具体地,第一意图操作所包含的信息可以是以下几种情况:
(1)intentOperations[executionConditon,operationType,operation,reliability]。即在这种情况中,在第一意图操作中增加了第一知识:reliability。其中,executionConditon为执行条件;operationType为操作类型;operation为意图操作。
(2)intentOperations[executionConditon,operationType,operation,event,impact]。即在这种情况中,在第一意图操作中增加了第一知识:event和impact。
(3)intentOperations[executionConditon,operationType,operation,reliability,event,impact]。即在这种情况中,在第一意图操作中既增加了reliability,也增加了event和impact。
根据意图关键词查询得到的第一意图的第一知识,可以用于后续第一意图保障过程中的操作的选择。
S215、intent translation FB通过语法树和语义分析对第一知识进行组合,将组合后的第一知识更新到intent knowledge repository。
S216、intent translation FB向context awareness FB发送意图转译结束通知,并携带Intent ID,intentFulfillmentCriterion,intentOperations。其中,第一意图的executionConditon包含关键绩效指标(key performance indicator,KPI),用于在上下文信息中确定第一意图的执行条件的满足情况。
S217、context awareness FB增加第一意图的上下文信息,并更新到knowledge management FB。
context awareness FB对意图转译结束通知中携带的上述信息进行意图上下文感知,获得第一意图的上下文信息。
S218、context awareness FB向situational awareness FB发送意图上下文感知结束通知,并携带Intent ID,intentFulfillmentCriterion,intentOperations以及增加的上下文信息。这些携带的消息中包含第一意图目标,用于衡量第一意图目标的达成情况。
S219、situational awareness FB增加第一意图的状态信息,并更新到knowledge management FB。
situational awareness FB根据上述意图上下文感知结束通知中携带的信息进行意图状态感知,获得第一意图的状态信息。
S220、situational awareness FB向model driven engineering FB发送意图状态感知结束通知,并携带Intent ID,intentFulfillmentCriterion,intentOperations以及增加的上下文信息和第一意图的状态信息。该意图状态感知结束请求用于请求model driven engineering产生并执行Intent ID对应的第一意图。
S221、model driven engineering FB基于第一可信程度和/或第一知识选择第一操作。
具体地,若第一意图操作中包括第一可信程度,则model driven engineering FB基于第一可信程度选择第一操作。
若第一意图操作中包括第一信息,则model driven engineering FB基于第一信息选择第一操作。
若第一意图操作中包括第一可信程度和第一信息,则model driven engineering FB基于第一可信程度和第一信息选择第一操作。
S222、model driven engineering FB进行意图操作指令转换,并更新到knowledge management FB。
model driven engineering FB对选择的第一操作进行格式转化,转化为ENI系统内部的模块可以识别的操作指令。
S223、model driven engineering FB向policy management FB发送意图指令转换结束通知。
S224、policy management FB进行意图操作指令类型转换,并更新到knowledge management FB。
policy management FB对第一操作进行格式转化,转化为外部系统可以识别的操作指令。
S225、policy management FB向denormalization and output generation FB发送意图指令产生请求。
S226、denormalization and output generation FB向第三网元发送意图指令执行请求。
在本实施例中,意图转译后不仅得到意图策略的指令操作,还包含达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度和/或第一信息,为后续意图保障提供操作选择的依据,并为后续知识更新提供初始化参数。
第二阶段:意图保障过程
如图9所示,为意图保障过程中的一种通信方法的流程示意图。在该方法中,第一知识包括达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度。示例性地,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
S301、context awareness FB向denormalization and output generation FB发送意图性能数据订阅请求准备。该意图性能数据订阅请求准备携带第一意图目标,executionConditon中的KPI。
S302、denormalization and output generation FB向第三网元发送意图性能数据订阅请求。
S303、第三网元向ENI系统发送意图性能数据订阅响应,携带被请求的意图性能数据。
具体地,第三网元根据意图性能数据订阅请求中携带的第一意图目标,executionConditon中的KPI,获取第一意图目标的达成情况、第一意图的执行条件的满足情况、第一意图的约束条件的满足情况等意图性能数据。然后,第三网元向data ingestion and normalization FB发送意图性能数据订阅响应。该意图性能数据订阅响应携带上述意图性能数据。
S304、data ingestion and normalization FB向knowledge management FB发送归一化后的意图性能数据。
S305、knowledge management FB将接收到的意图性能数据存储到策略知识库。
S306、knowledge management FB根据第一意图目标,从策略知识库获取意图策略,然后向context awareness FB发送意图策略和意图性能数据请求,携带意图策略、以及与第一意图目标的达成情况和第一意图的执行条件的满足情况相关的意图性能数据。
S307、context awareness FB根据接收到的意图策略和意图性能数据,更新意图的上下文信息。该意图的上下文信息包括第一意图的执行条件中的KPI信息。context awareness FB 将意图的上下文信息更新到knowledge management FB。
S308、context awareness FB向situational awareness FB发送意图上下文信息感知结束通知,携带意图策略、意图的上下文信息、以及与第一意图目标的达成情况相关的意图性能数据。
S309、situational awareness FB根据接收到的意图策略和意图性能数据,判断第一意图目标是否达成,并预估第一意图目标的达成情况,更新意图状态信息。该意图状态信息包括第一意图目标达成性能以及达成的可能性,将该意图状态信息更新到knowledge management FB。
S310、situational awareness FB向model driven engineering FB发送意图状态感知结束通知,携带意图策略、意图上下文信息和意图状态信息。
S311、model driven engineering FB根据意图策略的intentOperations中的reliability决定需要执行的第一操作。
具体地,model driven engineeringFB根据当前达成第一意图目标的可能性,以及历史的达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度,决定需要执行的第一操作。该第一操作可以是第一意图操作,也可以是根据意图关键词从意图知识库获取的其它意图操作。例如,意图转译功能模块从意图知识库获取到与意图关键词对应的意图操作有三种,每种意图操作对应不同的意图目标和执行条件。若第一种意图操作的历史的第一可信程度较低,且model driven engineeringFB根据接收到的第一意图目标的达成情况与第一意图目标相比,预估第一意图目标不能达成,则model driven engineeringFB选择其它的意图操作;若第一种意图操作的历史的第一可信程度较高,且situational awareness FB预估可以达成第一意图目标,则model driven engineeringFB选择该第一意图操作。
S312、model driven engineering FB进行意图操作指令转换,并更新到knowledge management FB。
model driven engineering FB对选择的第一操作进行格式转化,转化为ENI系统内部的模块可以识别的操作指令。
S313、model driven engineering FB向policy management FB发送意图操作指令转换结束通知。
S314、policy management FB进行意图操作指令类型转换,并更新到knowledge management FB。
policy management FB对第一操作进行格式转化,转化为外部系统可以识别的操作指令。
以下两部分流程(即流程一和流程二)并行执行:
流程一:
S315、policy management FB向cognition management FB发送意图操作指令下发通知。该意图操作指令下发通知包括将要执行的第一操作。
该第一操作为步骤S314中policy management FB需要执行的第一操作。
S316、cognition management FB向situational awareness FB请求第一操作执行前的第一意图目标的达成情况。
S317、situational awareness FB向cognition management FB发送响应,用于指示接收到 上述请求。
如步骤S309中situational awareness FB根据第一意图对应的意图性能数据预估了达成第一意图目标的可能性,因此,可以由situational awareness FB向cognition management FB发送响应,该响应携带达成第一意图目标的可能性。
S318、cognition management FB对意图策略进行分析、推理、评估,确定更新的第一可信程度。该第一可信程度用于指示达成第一意图目标的可靠性。
cognition management FB获得了situational awareness FB发送的达成第一意图目标的可能性后,即执行了一次第一操作后,可以对意图策略进行分析、推理、评估,重新获得第一可信程度。
具体地,reliability的更新方法为:例如,对于意图策略p,其达成目标为g,当前监测的第一意图目标为j,reliability更新前为r,可以根据以下方法更新reliability:
●如果第一意图目标j已经满足达成目标g,reliability在r的基础上增加r1,更新r=r+r1,r最大为100%。
●如果第一意图目标j没有满足达成目标g,但是在接近达成目标g(比较上次的检测结果),reliability在r的基础上增加r2,更新r=r+r2,r最大为100%。
●如果第一意图目标j没有满足达成目标g,但是在远离达成目标g(比较上次的检测结果),reliability在r的基础上减少r3,更新r=r-r3,r最小为0%。
S319、cognition management FB向knowledge management FB发送意图知识更新请求,携带更新后的reliability。
S320、knowledge management FB接收到意图知识更新请求后,对intent knowledge repository中的第一意图的第一知识进行更新。
S321、knowledge management FB向cognition management FB发送更新响应。
流程二:
S322、policy management FB向denormalization and output generation FB发送意图指令执行请求。
S323、denormalization and output generation FB向第三网元发送意图指令执行请求。
可以理解的是,如图9所示,上述流程一和流程二可以是并列执行的,即更新第一可信程度与执行第一操作可以是并列执行的,这样可以提高ENI系统的执行效率。
还可以理解的是,如图9所示,上述流程一和流程二可以是循环执行的,即在第一意图执行过程中可以不断地根据意图性能数据更新第一可信程度,或,不断地执行第一意图对应的意图策略,直到该意图策略被去激活或被删除。
在本实施例中,第一网元可以根据第一意图对应的意图性能数据预估达成第一意图目标的可能性,估计达成第一意图目标的第一可信程度,并将估计出的第一可信程度更新到意图知识库,以便于第一网元后续可以根据更新的第一可信程度选择第一操作,提高了第一操作选择的准确性;且在当前选择操作时,可以根据历史的第一可信程度选择第一操作,提高了第一操作选择的准确性。
如图10所示,为意图保障过程中的又一种通信方法的流程示意图。在该方法中,第一知识包括第一信息。示例性地,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
S401、context awareness FB向denormalization and output generation FB发送意图性能数据订阅请求准备。该意图性能数据订阅请求准备携带第一意图目标,executionConditon中的KPI以及第一信息中。
