一种通信方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2021年02月10日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110185532.7、申请名称为“一种通信方法和通信装置”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
本申请涉及通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种通信方法及通信装置。
背景技术
网络存储功能(network repository function，NRF)网元可用于支持网元服务或者网元发现功能，例如：网络存储功能网元中存储有网络数据分析功能网元(network data analytics function，NWDAF)的信息。
有NWDAF服务需求的网络功能(network function，NF)网元会向NRF网元发送网元发现请求，该请求用于请求符合NF网元预设条件的目标NWDAF网元的信息，NRF网元从NF网元接收该发现请求后，会将NRF网元判断的符合NF网元预设条件的NWDAF信息提供给NF网元。然而，现有技术并没有提供NRF网元如何判断并提供NWDAF信息的方式。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法及通信装置，用于网络存储功能网元提供数据分析网元信息的信息给服务请求网元。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法，该方法包括：网络存储功能网元从服务请求网元接收请求消息，该请求消息用于请求目标数据分析网元的信息，该请求消息包括第一分析标识和第一服务的信息，该目标数据分析网元支持该第一分析标识对应的分析类型和该第一服务；网络存储功能网元根据该第一分析标识、该第一服务的信息和该目标数据分析网元对应的该第一分析标识与该第一服务之间的关联信息确定该目标数据分析网元；网络存储功能网元向该服务请求网元发送该目标数据分析网元的信息。
在一种可能的实现中，该目标数据分析网元的信息包括该目标数据分析网元的地址信息，该目标数据分析网元的地址信息包括以下信息中的一个或多个：数据分析网元的标识、互联网协定位址、完全限定域名、统一资源定位符。
在一种可能的实现中，该第一服务包括以下服务的至少一种：模型请求服务、模型订阅服务、数据存储请求服务、数据收集协调服务。
在一种可能的实现中，该第一分析标识对应的分析包括以下分析的至少一种：切片负载分析、业务体验分析、网元负载分析、网络性能分析、终端移动性分析、终端通信性分析、终端异常行为分析、用户数据拥塞分析、服务质量参数可持续性分析。
根据本申请实施例的通信方法，每个数据分析网元在向网络存储功能网元注册其对应的网元信息时，会在该网元信息中携带该数据分析网元所支持的服务与分析标识对应的分析类型之间的对应关系，该对应关系包括该数据分析网元所支持的分析标识中每个分析标识对应的一个或者多个服务的信息，或者该数据分析网元所支持的服务中每个服务的信息对应的一个或者多个分析标识；因此当服务请求网元携带其请求的目标数据分析网元需要满足的预设条件向网络存储功能网元进行请求时，该预设条件指该目标数据分析网元的注册网元信息中需要包含的第一分析标识与第一服务的信息之间的关联信息，网络存储功能网元能够根据该第一分析标识与该第一服务的关联信息去查找存储在本地的数据分析网元注册网元信息中包含该第一分析标识与该第一服务的关联信息的数据分析网元，并将其确定为满足该服务请求网元预设条件的目标数据分析网元，并向该服务请求网元发送其确定的目标数据分析网元的信息。网络存储功能网元通过本申请的通信方法确定出的目标数据分析网元能够满足服务请求网元的实际需求，换句话说，网络存储功能网元通过本申请的通信方法确定出的目标数据分析网元不仅能支持服务请求网元请求的该第一服务，还能同时支持服务请求网元请求的该第一分析标识对应的分析类型。
在一些实施例中，上述分析标识用于指示分析的类型，上述服务的信息用于指示该服务，上述服务的信息包括服务的名称。
需要说明的是，数据分析网元支持的每个服务可以对应一个或多个功能，每个功能都有对应的服务，因此在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述通信方法中分析标识与服务的信息的对应关系也可以替换为分析标识与功能的信息的对应关系，通过功能与服务的对应关系可以进一步确定分析标识与服务的对应关系，类似的，上述通信方法中分析标识与服务的信息的对应关系还可以替换为分析标识与其他参数的对应关系，该其他参数与服务之间存在对应关系，或者还可以针对分析标识有类似的替换关系，应理解，无论是直接确定分析标识与服务的对应关系还是间接确定分析标识与服务的对应关系，只要实质上能够确定分析标识与服务的对应关系的替换方式都在本申请的保护范围之内，以分析标识与服务的对应关系为例进行说明不应对本申请造成限定。

3、网络数据分析功能网元(network data analytics function，NWDAF)
网络数据分析功能网元NWDAF具备以下至少一种功能：数据收集功能、模型训练功能、模型反馈功能、分析结果推理功能、分析结果反馈功能、数据存储功能、数据收集协调功能。其中，数据收集功能是指用于收集来自网络网元、第三方业务服务器、终端设备或网管系统中的数据；模型训练功能是指基于相关输入数据做分析训练得到模型；模型反馈功能是指将训练好的机器学习模型发送给支持推理功能的网元；分析结果推理功能基于训练好的机器学习模型以及推理数据做推理确定数据分析结果；分析结果反馈功能可以向网络网元、第三方业务服务器、提供终端设备或网管系统提供数据分析结果，该分析结果可协助网络选择业务的服务质量参数，或协助网络执行流量路由，或协助网络选择背景流量传输策略等；数据存储功能是指NWDAF网元可以本地存储训练数据或者推理数据；数据收集协调功能是指NWDAF网元可以辅助其他NWDAF网元获取NF上的数据，如其他NWDAF网元(如NWDAF X)可以先向该NWDAF网元请求NF上的数据，如果该NWDAF网元上已经存有NF上的数据，则直接发送给NWDAF X网元，否则的话，该NWDAF先向NF请求该NF上的数据，然后将获取的该NF上的数据发送给NWDAF X网元。
NWDAF典型应用场景有：终端参数的定制或优化，即NWDAF通过收集用户连接管理、移动性管理、会话管理、接入的业务等信息，利用可靠分析和预测模型，对不同类型用户进行评估和分析，构建用户画像，确定用户的移动轨迹和业务使用习惯，以及预测用户行为，5G网络基于分析和预测数据，优化用户移动性管理参数和无线资源管理参数等；业务(路径)的优化，即，NWDAF通过收集网络性能、特定区域业务负荷、用户业务体 验等信息，利用可靠网络性能分析和预测模型，对不同类型业务进行评估、分析，构建业务画像，确定业务的体验质量(quality of experience，QoE)、业务体验(service experience)、业务路径或者5G服务质量(quality of service，QoS)参数等内在关联，优化业务路径、业务路由、5G边缘计算、业务对应5G QoS等；AF对业务参数的优化，比如，车联网是5G网络的重要技术，在车联网的自动驾驶场景中，车辆即将经过的基站的网络性能(例如QoS信息、业务负荷)预测对提高车联网的服务质量有着重要作用。例如车联网服务器可以基于网络性能的预测信息判断是否继续保持无人驾驶模式。NWDAF通过收集网络性能、特定区域业务负荷等信息，利用可靠网络性能分析和预测模型，实现对网络性能的统计和预测，辅助AF优化参数。
在本申请的实施例中，NWDAF可以是一个单独的网元，也可以与其他网元合设。例如，NWDAF网元可以与AMF合设或者与会话管理功能网元(session management function，SMF)网元合设。
4、网络存储功能网元(network repository function，NRF)
网络存储功能网元可用于支持网元服务或者网元发现功能，从网络功能(network function，NF)实例接收NF发现请求，并将发现的NF实例的信息提供给NF实例。以及用于支持维护可用NF实例及其支持的服务的NF配置文件。在本申请实施例中，可用于支持网元服务或者网元发现功能。
5、会话管理功能网元(session management function，SMF)
会话管理功能网元主要用于会话管理、终端设备的网络互连协议(internet protocol，IP)地址分配和管理、选择可管理用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)网元、策略控制和收费功能接口的终结点以及下行数据通知等。在本申请实施例中，可用于实现会话管理网元的功能。
6、接入和移动性管理功能网元(access and mobility management function，AMF)
接入和移动性管理功能网元主要用于移动性管理和接入管理等，可以用于实现移动性管理实体(mobility management entity，MME)功能中除会话管理之外的其它功能，例如，合法监听、或接入授权(或鉴权)等功能。在本申请实施例中，可用于实现接入和移动管理网元的功能。
7、策略控制网元(policy control function，PCF)
策略控制网元用于指导网络行为的统一策略框架，为控制平面功能网元(例如AMF，SMF网元等)提供策略规则信息等。
8、应用功能网元(application function，AF)
应用功能网元用于提供业务，或者用于进行应用影响的数据路由，接入网络开放功能网元，或，与NWDAF网元交互业务数据进行策略控制等。
9、用户面功能网元(user plane function，UPF)
用户面功能网元可用于分组路由和转发、或用户面数据的QoS参数处理等。用户数据可通过该网元接入到数据网络(data network，DN)。在本申请实施例中，可用于实现用户面网元的功能。
10、网络能力开放功能网元(network exposure function，NEF)：用于向外部开放由3GPP网络功能提供的业务和网络能力信息(如终端位置、会话是否可达)等。
在上述网络架构中，N2接口为RAN和AMF网元的接口，用于无线参数、非接入层(non-access stratum，NAS)信令的发送等；N3接口为RAN和UPF网元之间的接口，用于传输用户面的数据等；N4接口为SMF网元和UPF网元之间的接口，用于传输例如业务策略、N3连接的隧道标识信息，数据缓存指示信息，以及下行数据通知消息等信息。N6接口为DN网元和UPF网元之间的接口，用于传输用户面的数据等。
应理解，在上述网络架构中，NWDAF网元可以通过服务化接口与其他任何网元进行信息交互，比如通过服务化接口从其他网元(如AMF、SMF等)收集终端在网元上产生的数据，通过Nnwdaf接口向其他网元(如AMF、PCF等)提供数据分析结果(Analytics)、模型(Machine Learning Model，也称机器学习模型)、数据(data)等。
应理解，上述应用于本申请实施例的网络架构仅是举例说明的从传统点到点的架构和服务化架构的角度描述的网络架构，适用本申请实施例的网络架构并不局限于此，任何能够实现上述各个网元的功能的网络架构都适用于本申请实施例。
应理解，图1中的各个网元之间的接口名称只是一个示例，具体实现中接口的名称可能为其他的名称，本申请对此不作具体限定。此外，上述各个网元之间的所传输的信息(或信令)的名称也仅仅是一个示例，对信息本身的功能不构成任何限定。
需要说明的是，上述网元也可以称为实体、设备、装置或模块等，本申请并未特别限定。并且，在本申请中，为了便于理解和说明，在对部分描述中省略网元这一描述，例如，将NWDAF网元简称NWDAF，此情况下，该“NWDAF”应理解为NWDAF网元，以下，省略对相同或相似情况的说明。
可以理解的是，上述功能网元既可以是硬件设备中的网络元件，也可以是在专用硬件上运行软件功能，或者是平台(例如，云平台)上实例化的虚拟化功能。
可以理解的是，在图1所示的通信系统中，各组成网元的功能仅为示例性的，各个组成网元在应用于本申请的实施例中时，并非全部功能都是必需的。
图1中的NRF为网络存储功能网元，其功能类似于传统网络中网域名称服务器(domain name server，DNS)，各网元可以将自身的网元的信息(NF Profile)注册在NRF中，NRF可以辅助其他网元获取满足其要求的相关网元的信息。
接下来以NWDAF为例，结合图2对NWDAF向NRF的注册过程进行详细说明。
步骤1：NWDAF携带NWDAF的网元信息(NWDAF profile)触发Nnrf接口上网元管理中网元注册请求(Nnrf_NFManagement_NFRegister_request)服务操作，向NRF发起NWDAF网元的注册请求，用于注册NWDAF网元信息；
在一种可能的实现方式中，表1示出了NWDAF网元信息(NWDAF profile)所包括的信息内容，如下：
表1
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000001
进一步地，表1中的NnwdafInfo所包括的内容如表2所示，如下：
表2
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000002
表1中的NFService(网元服务的信息)所包括的内容如表3所示，如下：
表3
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000003
值得说明的是，本发明中涉及网元的服务的信息都可以参考表3的内容。例如，假设网元为NWDAF网元，那么NWDAF支持的Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription服务的信息包括Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription服务的服务实例标识或者Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription服务的服务名称(也就是Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription)，NWDAF的其他服务都可以参考此处描述，不再赘述。
更进一步地，表3中，服务名称(ServiceName)包括NWDAF网元的分析结果订阅服务(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription)和/或NWDAF网元的分析结果信息服务(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo)两种。
表2中的EventId与Analytics ID对应，表4示例性的示出了Analytics ID的相关内 容：
表4
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000004
值得说明的是，本发明中如果NWDAF的信息中包括表4中的任一个或者多个分析标识时，标识该NWDAF支持该一个或者多个分析标识对应的分析类型，如Analytics ID＝Service Experience，NWDAF提供该业务体验类型的数据分析，相应地，NWDAF可以提供业务体验类型对应的的NWDAF的服务(如分析结果订阅服务，详细参见表5)或者(详细参见表5)的NWDAF的功能(如分析结果推理功能，详细参见表6)。
步骤2：NRF收到该注册请求后存储NWDAF注册的NWDAF网元信息(NWDAF profile)；
步骤3：NRF触发Nnrf接口上网元管理中网元注册响应(Nnrf_NFManagement_NFR egister_response)服务操作向NWDAF发送回复信息，通知NWDAF注册成功。
接下来依然以NWDAF为例，结合图3对NWDAF向NRF完成注册以后，NRF辅助其他网元发现满足其要求的NWDAF的过程进行详细说明。
步骤1：第一网元(即服务请求网元)触发Nnrf接口上网元发现请求(Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request)服务操作，向NRF发送请求信息，该请求信息用于请求符 合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息，该请求信息中包括第一网元的预设条件信息，该预设条件信息包括分析标识(Analytics ID)以及服务名称(Service Name)；
在一种可能的实现方式中，该预设条件信息中，分析标识Analytics ID包括表4示出的内容，服务名称Service Name包括NWDAF网元的分析结果订阅服务(Nnwdaf_Analyt icsSubscription)或者NWDAF网元的分析结果信息服务(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo)。
步骤2：NRF接收该请求信息并确定符合第一网元设备条件的目标NWDAF的地址信息，比如数据分析网元的标识(NWDAF ID)、互联网协定位址(IP address)、完全限定域名(fully qualified domain name，FQDN)、统一资源定位符(uniform resource locator，URL)等信息。
步骤3：NRF触发Nnrf接口上网元发现请求响应(Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request Response)服务操作，向第一网元发送回复信息，该回复信息中包括符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息。
应理解，上述第一网元为有NWDAF的地址信息需求的网元，比如使用分析结果开放服务的PCF网元。
通过以上关于NRF辅助第一网元发现满足其要求的NWDAF的描述可知，NRF会根据第一网元发送的请求信息中的分析标识(Analytics ID)以及服务名称(Service Name)去确定符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF。
在5G标准的第二个版本(3rd generation partnership project release 16，3GPP Rel-16)中，NWDAF针对一个分析标识(Analytics ID)所提供的服务的名称(Service Name)只包括分析结果开放服务，也就是NWDAF网元的分析结果订阅服务(Nnwdaf_Analytics Subscription)或者NWDAF网元的分析结果信息服务(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo)，该分析结果开放服务对应于数据收集、模型训练、分析结果推理等多个功能，也就是说，数据收集、模型训练、分析结果推理等功能共同为该分析结果开放服务提供服务的输出。
随着5G标准的第三个版本(3rd generation partnership project release 17，3GPP Rel-17)的提出，NWDAF针对一个分析标识(Analytics ID)所提供的服务类型以及功能也发生了变化，针对同一个分析标识Analytics ID，NWDAF除了支持上述分析结果开放服务外，还新增了其他的服务类型，Rel-17阶段NWDAF针对同一个分析标识Analytics ID所提供的服务类型如表5所示：
表5
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000005
在Rel-17阶段，NWDAF网元的功能被分解为数据收集功能、模型训练功能、推理功能、数据存储功能以及数据收集协调功能等。
应理解，上述服务中每一类服务可以对应一个或者多个功能，表6示出了服务与功能之间一种可能的对应关系，如下：
表6
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000006
需要说明的是，在NRF中注册的多个NWDAF针对同一个Analytics ID，可以支持不同的服务或者功能，具体的，不同的NWDAF针对同一个Analytics ID可以支持上述五种服务中的部分或者全部，相应地，也可以支持上述数据收集功能、模型训练功能、推理功能、数据存储功能、数据收集协调功能、分析结果开放功能、模型开放功能、训练数据或者推理数据开放功能等中的一个或者多个。
在Rel-16阶段，NRF中注册的NWDAF针对某个特定的分析标识Analytics ID仅支持分析结果开放(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription或者Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo)服务，也就是说，无论第一网元向NRF发送的请求信息中携带的是哪一个分析标识Analytics ID，该请求信息中携带的服务名称(Service Name)只包括分析结果开放服务，因此NRF根据该请求信息中分析标识Analytics ID所确定的注册信息中包含该分析标识Analytics ID的NWDAF只能提供分析结果开放服务，与第一网元的请求信息中实际要求提供的服务一致，即NRF根据该请求信息确定的NWDAF与第一网元实际需求的NWDAF是完全匹配的。
需要说明的是，NRF中注册的NWDAF网元信息中分析标识与服务名称处于同一层级，可以理解为分析标识与服务名称的优先级相同，两者之间不存在绑定关系或者映射关系，分析标识与服务名称之间相互独立存在。
但是在Rel-17阶段，针对同一个分析标识Analytics ID，NRF注册信息中不同的NWDAF所支持的服务可能不同，具体而言，不同的NWDAF针对同一个分析标识可以支持分析结果开放服务、模型开放服务、数据存储服务、数据收集服务和数据收集协调服务 中的一种或多种服务；此外，同一个NWDAF的注册信息中也可以包括一个或多个分析标识Analytics ID，且在该NWDAF中不同的分析标识Analytics ID对应的NWDAF所支持的服务也可能不同。
这就造成一个问题，若NRF仍然只根据第一网元发送的请求信息中携带的分析标识和所需的服务名称来确定满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF，即只要注册信息中包括该请求信息中要求的分析标识和服务名称的NWDAF都满足第一网元的预设条件，若该NWDAF注册信息中包括多个分析标识Analytics ID，不同的分析标识对应的服务也不同，则当第一网元要求的分析标识与服务名称在该NWDAF中不对应的时候，该NWDAF无法同时满足第一网元要求的分析标识和第一网元要求提供的服务，即NRF确定的NWDAF与第一网元的实际需求的NWDAF不匹配。第一网元接收到NRF确定的NWDAF的地址信息后无法利用，既造成了资源的浪费，又无法保障第一网元的业务。
例如，在NRF的注册信息中，NWDAF#1对Analytics ID#M仅支持模型开放服务，不支持分析结果开放服务和数据存储服务，对Analytics ID#N不支持模型开放服务，但是支持分析结果开放服务和数据存储服务。假设第一网元向NRF寻找支持Analytics ID#M和分析结果开放服务的NWDAF，此时第一网元向NRF发送的请求信息中可以包括Anal ytics ID#M以及分析结果开放服务的服务名称，NRF根据该请求信息确定的NWDAF为NWDAF#1，显然NWDAF#1并不能满足第一网元的实际需求。这是因为，NWDAF#1在NRF中的注册信息中包括：NWDAF#1支持的服务名称，即分析结果开放服务、模型开放服务、数据存储服务；NWDAF#1支持的分析标识，即Analytics ID#M、Analytics ID#N。只要注册信息中包括第一网元请求信息中要求的分析标识与服务名称的NWDAF都会被NRF判断为满足第一网元的预设要求的NWDAF，NRF会将NWDAF#1的地址反馈给第一网元，但NWDAF#1实际并不符合第一网元的预设条件。
针对上述问题，本申请提出了一种通信方法，使得NRF根据第一网元的请求信息确定的NWDAF与第一网元实际所需的NWDAF能够完全匹配，既避免了资源浪费，又保障了第一网元的业务。
接下来将结合图4对本申请中的通信方法100进行介绍。
S101，NWDAF向NRF发送请求信息#a，该请求信息#a用于请求向NRF进行注册，该请求信息#a中包括分析标识与服务的对应关系。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述请求信息#a中包括分析标识与服务的信息之间的对应关系，该分析标识用于指示该NWDAF所支持的分析类型(比如切片负载分析、业务体验分析、网元负载分析、网络性能分析、终端移动性分析、终端通信性分析、终端异常行为分析、用户数据拥塞分析、服务质量参数可持续性分析等)，该服务的信息用于指示该NWDAF所支持的服务(比如模型请求服务、模型订阅服务、数据存储请求服务、数据收集协调服务。等)，具体的，该服务的信息包括该服务的名称。
需要说明的是，除了分析标识与服务的对应关系，该请求信息#a中还包括NWDAF其他的网元信息，比如NWDAF对应的以下信息中的一个或者多个：网元类型、地址信息、服务区域等，这里与现有技术中类似，在此不作过多赘述。
S102，NRF接收该请求信息#a，并存储NWDAF注册的网元的信息，该网元的信息中包括分析标识与服务的对应关系。
S103，NRF向NWDAF发送回复消息#a，通知NWDAF注册成功。
S104，第一网元确定对于NWDAF的预设条件(可以理解为第一网元对要请求的NWDAF对于数据分析的要求)，该预设条件中包括需要NWDAF支持的服务的信息、以及与该服务的信息对应的分析标识。
S105，第一网元向NRF发送请求信息#b，该请求信息#b用于请求符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF网元的信息，该请求信息#b中包括第一网元的预设条件。
S106，NRF接收该请求信息#b，并根据该请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF。
S107，NRF向第一网元发送回复消息#b，该回复消息#b中包括满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF的信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF的信息包括该NWDAF的地址信息，例如IP地址、NWDAF的标识、FQDN、URL等中的一个或者多个，下文中将以该NWDAF的地址信息为例进行说明。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述分析标识与服务的对应关系可以具体体现为分析标识与服务的信息之间的对应关系，其中，该分析标识可用于指示分析的类型(比如切片负载分析、业务体验分析、网元负载分析、网络性能分析、终端移动性分析、终端通信性分析、终端异常行为分析、用户数据拥塞分析、服务质量参数可持续性分析等)，该服务的信息包括该服务的名称，下文中将以该服务的信息为服务的名称为例进行说明。
需要说明的是，NWDAF支持的每个服务可以对应一个或多个功能，每个功能都有对应的服务，因此在另一种可能的实现方式中，上述通信方法100中分析标识与服务的对应关系也可以替换为分析标识与功能的对应关系，通过功能与服务的对应关系可以进一步确定分析标识与服务的对应关系，类似的，上述通信方法100中分析标识与服务的对应关系还可以替换为分析标识与其他参数的对应关系，该其他参数与服务之间存在对应关系，或者还可以针对分析标识有类似的替换关系，应理解，无论是直接确定分析标识与服务的对应关系还是间接确定分析标识与服务的对应关系，只要实质上能够确定分析标识与服务的对应关系的替换方式都在本申请的保护范围之内，以分析标识与服务的对应关系为例进行说明不应对本申请造成限定。
还需要说明的是，NRF根据该请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF包括一个或多个，对应的，NRF发送的回复消息#b中包括满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息也可以包括一个或多个，本申请在此不作限定。
还需要说明的是，如果NRF发送的回复信息#b中包括多个满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息，第一网元可以从中任意选择一个作为目标NWDAF。
接下来以NWDAF向NRF注册的网元信息中包括分析标识与服务的对应关系为例，结合图5中的具体注册参数，对本申请中的通信方法100可能的实现方式进行进一步说明。
图5中，NRF中注册的NWDAF包括NWDAF#1、NWDAF#2和NWDAF#3为例，在NWDAF#1的注册信息中，NWDAF#1针对分析标识#A能提供分析结果开放服务和数据存储服务，NWDAF#1针对分析标识#B能提供模型开放服务和数据存储服务，NWDAF#1针对分析标识#C能提供分析结果开放服务；在NWDAF#2的注册信息中，NWDAF#2针对分析标识#A能提供模型开放服务和数据存储服务；在NWDAF#3的注册 信息中，NWDAF#3针对分析标识#A能提供分析结果开放服务、模型开放服务和数据存储服务。
可能的实现方式#A
在可能的实现方式#A中，将NWDAF向NRF注册的网元信息中的分析标识与服务的对应关系分层放置，即将分析标识与服务放置在相同或者不同的层级，作为示例而非限定，该层级可分为第一层、第二层等等，在步骤S106中NRF根据上述请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF时，会优先查找第一层的网元信息，当NRF能够根据第一层的网元信息确定出满足预设条件的NWDAF时，会停止查找并向第一网元反馈满足预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息；否则NRF会继续查找下一层(第二层)的网元信息，直到确定出满足预设条件的NWDAF为止。
类似的，还可以为分析标识和服务设置不同的优先级，在步骤S106中NRF根据上述请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF时，会先查找优先级高的网元信息，当NRF能够根据该优先级的网元信息确定出满足预设条件的NWDAF时，会停止查找并向第一网元反馈满足预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息；否则NRF会继续查找下一优先级的网元信息，直到确定出满足预设条件的NWDAF为止。
应理解，上述对分析标识和服务分层放置或设置优先级仅作为具体的举例，在可能的实现方式#A中实际上是定义了一种NRF查找注册网元信息的顺序，本申请对具体的实现方式并不作限定，只要能够定义NRF查找注册网元信息的顺序的方式均在于本申请的保护范围内。
接下来，以分析标识与服务放置分层放置为例，进一步说明与可能的实现方式#A对应的几种可能实现的方式。
可能的实现方式#A1
在可能的实现方式#A1中，该通信方法100既能应用于Rel-17阶段以及以后可能出现的新阶段，也能与Rel-16阶段相兼容。
首先需要说明的是，第一网元向NRF请求符合其预设条件的NWDAF时，第一网元的网元类型(NF type)与第一网元向NRF发送的请求信息中的服务名称(Service Name)之间存在一定的对应关系：针对分析结果开放(Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription或者Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo)服务，第一网元的网元类型可以为NWDAF网元或者非NWDAF网元；针对非分析结果开放(Nnwdaf_Analytics)服务，即针对模型开放服务、模型开放服务、数据收集协调服务或者数据收集服务，第一网元的网元类型只包括NWDAF网元。
在可能的实现方式#A1中，针对非分析结果开放服务(即模型开放服务、数据存储服务、数据收集协调服务、数据收集服务)，将非分析结果开放服务放置在NWDAF注册的网元信息的第一层，然后把分析标识作为服务对应的参数放置在NWDAF注册的网元信息的第二层；或者，将分析标识放置在NWDAF注册的网元信息的第一层，然后把非分析结果开放服务作为分析标识对应的参数放置在NWDAF注册的网元信息的第二层。
在可能的实现方式#A1中，针对分析结果开放服务，参考Rel-16阶段的分析标识与服务的放置方式，将分析结果开放服务以及与该服务对应的分析标识都放置在NWDAF注册的网元信息的第一层。
结合图5，表7示出了可能的实现方式#A1中NWDAF注册网元信息的一种示例。
表7
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000007
对应于可能的实现方式#A1，提出了通信方法200，该通信方法200包括：
S201，NWDAF向NRF发送请求信息#a，该请求信息#a用于请求向NRF进行注册，该请求信息#a中除了包括分析标识与服务的对应关系外，还包括第一网元的网元类型信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，NWDAF触发Nnrf接口上网元管理中网元注册请求(Nnrf_NFManagement_NFRegister_request)服务操作，向NRF发送请求信息#a，请求信息#a用于请求向NRF进行注册，该请求信息#a中包括分析标识与服务的对应关系，以及第一网元的类型与服务的对应关系。
需要说明的是，除了分析标识与服务的对应关系，该请求信息#a中还包括NWDAF其他的网元信息，比如NWDAF对应的以下信息中的一个或者多个：网元类型、地址信息、服务区域等，这里与现有技术中类似，在此不作过多赘述。
表8示出了第一网元的类型与服务一种可能的对应关系：
表8
Figure PCTCN2022075346-appb-000008
S202，NRF接收该请求信息#a，并存储NWDAF注册的网元的信息，该信息中包括分析标识与服务的对应关系(比如表7)，以及第一网元的类型与服务的对应关系(比如表8)。
S203，NRF向NWDAF发送回复信息#a，通知NWDAF注册成功。
在一种可能的实现方式中，NRF触发Nnrf接口上网元管理中网元注册响应(Nnrf_NFManagement_NFRegister_response)服务操作，向NWDAF发送回复信息#a，通知NWDAF注册成功。
S204，第一网元确定对于NWDAF的预设条件，该预设条件中包括需要NWDAF支持的服务名称、以及该服务名称对应的分析标识。
作为示例而非限定，当第一网元为PCF时，若PCF需要从NWDAF获取业务体验数据分析结果用于该业务的QoS参数调整，于是PCF首先确定了满足预设条件的NWDAF需要支持分析结果开放服务，即满足预设条件的NWDAF所支持的服务名称中需要包括分析结果开放服务的服务名称，然后再确定满足预设条件的NWDAF中，与分析结果开放服务对应的分析标识Analytics ID为业务体验Service Experience。
S205，第一网元向NRF发送请求信息#b，该请求信息#b用于请求符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF网元的地址信息。该请求信息#b中包括第一网元的网元类型。若第一网元的类型为NWDAF网元，则该请求信息#b中还包括第一网元要求NWDAF支持的服务名称以及该服务名称对应的分析标识。
在一种可能的实现方式中，NRF触发NWDAF的Nnrf接口上网元发现请求(Nnrf_NFManagement_NFRegister_response)服务操作，向NRF发送请求信息#b，该请求信息#b用于请求符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF网元的地址信息。该请求信息#b中包括第一网元的网元类型。若第一网元的类型为NWDAF网元，则该请求信息#b中还包括第一网元要求NWDAF支持的服务名称以及该服务名称对应的分析标识。
S206，NRF接收该请求信息#b，并根据该请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF。
在一种可能的实现方式中，NRF接收该请求信息#b，并判断请求信息#b中第一网元的类型，若第一网元的类型为非NWDAF或者NWDAF网元，NRF在NWDAF注册的第一层网元信息中查找并确定是否存在满足预设条件的分析标识；若第一网元的类型为NWDAF，则NRF首先在NWDAF注册的第一层网元信息中查找并确定是否存在满足预设条件的服务名称(或者分析标识)，如果存在，则进一步查找NWDAF注册的第二层网元信息，确定是否存在满足预设要求的分析标识(或服务名称)。
S207，NRF向第一网元发送回复信息#b，该回复信息#b中包括满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF的地址信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，NRF触发Nnrf接口上网元发现请求响应(Nnrf_NFDisco very_Request Response)服务操作，向第一网元发送回复信息#b，该回复信息#b中包括满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF的地址信息。
需要说明的是，NRF根据该请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF包括一个或多个，对应的，NRF发送的回复信息#b中包括满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息也可以包括一个或多个，本申请在此不作限定。
还需要说明的是，如果NRF发送的回复信息#b中包括多个满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息，第一网元可以从中任意选择一个作为目标NWDAF。
在一种可能的实现方式中，通信方法200中，请求信息#a与请求信息#b中也可以包括第一网元要求NWDAF支持的服务名称以及该服务名称对应的分析标识，而不包括第一网元类型，NRF在接收该请求信息#b后不再对第一网元的类型进行判断，而是依据该请求信息#b中相互对应的分析标识与服务名称去确定满足第一网元预设要求的NWDAF。
需要说明的是，若第一网元发送给NRF的请求信息#b的预设条件中包含多个分析标识和/或多个服务名称，则通信方法200中该请求信息#b中还包括分析标识与服务名称之间的对应关系，本申请对具体的对应方式不做限定。
在上述可能的实现方式#A1中，NRF能够辅助第一网元找到符合第一网元预设条件的NWDAF，即NRF通过第一网元预设条件确定的NWDAF与第一网元实际需要的NWDAF能够完全匹配，即保障了第一网元的业务，也避免了资源浪费。
接下来，依然以分析标识与服务放置分层放置为例，进一步说明与可能的实现方式#A对应的第二种可能实现的方式。

在一种可能的实现方式中，NRF触发Nnrf接口上网元发现请求响应(Nnrf_NFDisco very_Request Response)服务操作，向第一网元发送回复信息#b，该回复信息#b中包括上述第二NWDAF列表中每个NWDAF的地址信息，比如NWDAF的标识(NWDAF ID)互联网协定位址(IP address)、完全限定域名(fully qualified domain name，FQDN)、统一资源定位符(uniform resource locator URL)等信息。
需要说明的是，NRF根据该请求信息#b确定满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF可以包括一个或多个，即第二NWDAF列表中可以包括一个或者多个符合预设条件的NWDAF，对应的，NRF发送的回复信息#b中满足第一网元预设条件的NWDAF的地址信息也可以包括一个或多个，本申请在此不作限定。
