可以理解的是,上述网元或者功能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。作为一种可能的实现方法,上述网元或者功能可以由一个设备实现,也可以由多个设备共同实现,还可以是一个设备内的一个功能模块,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
作为一种实现方法,本申请实施例中的数据分析网元可以是上述NWDAF,也可以是未来通信如6G网络中具有上述NWDAF的功能的网元。数据分析网元还可以是MDAS。MDAS是部署在网络管理面的数据分析系统,可用于收集性能统计、告警、操作配置等管理数据并进行分析和预测,也可以输出资源分配或配置优化的建议。MDAS也具备训练功能和推理功能。和NWDAF相比,MDAS属于网络管理系统的一部分,常常离线和非实时运行,向运营商提供资源和部署调整优化建议,面向更长周期的趋势分析和优化建议。为便于说明,以下以数据分析网元是NWDAF为例进行说明,本申请中由NWDAF执行的动作也可由MDAS执行。
下面对NWDAF进行智能分析的过程进行说明。NWDAF可从多个来源收集多种维度的数据,进行关联分析,输出历史统计,或者训练拟合出模型,根据模型输出网络指标的预测值,用以指导业务网元对网络参数进行调整,以优化网络指标。应理解,不同的网络指标对应于不同的网络参数,而网络指标与网络运行状态相关。其中,网络指标比如网络业务评价值(以下简称为业务体验)、网络关键性能指标值或网络开销指标等,网络参数可包括时间、UE的位置、应用的位置、业务流的比特速率、包时延、传输和重传报文数量等因素。
这里以网络指标为业务体验的智能分析(以下称为业务体验分析)过程为例,其中,业务体验是指用户对于通过网络访问业务过程的体验评价,此时网络指标可以是由用户进 行的量化评估,该过程可包括以下步骤:
步骤1,NWDAF首先收集以下数据:
(1)从AF收集业务的体验评分、达到该体验评分的UE的百分比(例如业务体验质量为优秀的比例不低于90%)、UE的IP地址、应用的位置信息(如数据网络接入标识(data network access identify,DNAI)。其中,体验评分例如是平均主观评价(mean opinion score,MOS)。
(2)从通过AMF收集UE的签约用户永久标识(subscription permanent identifier,SUPI),UE的位置信息(如全球小区标识(global cell identifier,GCI));
(3)从SMF收集UE的SUPI、PDU会话的网络切片标识(如单一网络切片选择辅助信息(single-network slice selection assistance information,S-NSSAI))、UPF的信息(如UPF标识(identifier,ID))、IP过滤信息和业务流标识(QoS flow identifier,QFI);
(4)从UPF收集业务流的比特速率、端到端时延(或包时延)、传输和重传报文数量等参数。
步骤2,NWDAF使用IP过滤信息和UE的IP地址将一个UE的从AF收集的数据和同一个UE的从SMF收集的数据关联起来,再根据SUPI将同一个UE的从AMF收集的位置数据和从SMF的会话数据关联起来。通过QFI进一步将同一个UE的从UPF收集的数据与以上数据关联进来。同理,NWDAF进一步将数量众多的UE的数据进行关联分析。
步骤3,NWDAF根据上述数据训练拟合出模型。例如使用上述数据训练一个深度学习网络。该深度学习网络例如图2所示。
训练过程例如,NWDAF使用训练功能,将UE的位置、应用的位置、时间、QoS Flow的比特速率、包时延、传输和重传报文数量等网络参数作为自变量(independent variables),将业务体验和达到相应业务体验的UE占比等网络指标作为因变量(dependent variables),使用上述关联处理后的数据训练这个深度学习网络,得到一个深度学习模型(deep learning model)。也就是说,在训练过程中,自变量是网络参数,因变量是网络指标。
步骤4,NWDAF将训练得到的深度学习模型设置为推理模式(inference mode)(即使用推理功能),根据各个自变量的历史统计变化趋势,预测未来各个自变量最有可能的取值范围,然后根据训练得到的深度学习模型,通过各个自变量的预测值,计算输出因变量在未来的预测结果。
据此,通过业务体验分析过程,NWDAF可以预测网络参数所对应的网络指标的预测数值。NWDAF还可向业务网元(或称为业务处理网元)发送该预测数值,用于业务网元根据该预测数值调整网络参数,使得调整网络参数后的网络指标得到优化。
具体在业务体验分析过程中,业务网元可包括SMF,网络参数可包括QoS参数,网络指标可包括体验评分。NWDAF可以向SMF输出体验评分的预测数值。SMF可根据体验评分的预测数值确定调整后的QoS参数,该调整后的QoS参数具体可包括调整后的比特速率和/或调整后的包时延。SMF还可通过UPF执行调整后的QoS参数,从而通过QoS参数的优化来提高业务评分。
然而,目前的分析过程中,NWDAF无法根据来自于多个分析请求网元的请求消息进行分析,只会针对每个业务请求单独进行分析,导致NWDAF针对不同请求进行的分析之间可能存在冲突,因此分析结果不能同时符合全部分析请求网元的要求。
例如,如果第一分析请求网期望的网络指标与第二分析网元期望的网络指标的类型相 同,但是数值不同,这可能造成冲突。比如,SMF和AF分别向NWDAF请求推荐的网络参数,其中,SMF期望的MOS的范围是MOS不低于4.5,AF期望的MOS的范围是MOS不低于4,NWDAF分别针对SMF的请求和AF的请求确定SMF对应的推荐的网络参数和AF对应的推荐的网络参数,并由SMF根据其对应的推荐的网络参数进行调整,以及由AF根据其对应的推荐的网络参数进行调整。然而,AF对应的推荐的网络参数只能满足MOS不低于4,很可能不满足MOS不低于4.5的要求,因此在AF按照该推荐的网络参数进行调整后,会导致网络的MOS无法达到4.5,造成SMF期望的网络指标不能被满足。
又例如,第一分析请求网元和第二分析请求网元分别向NWDAF请求了同一种网络参数的推荐值,如果两个分析请求网元都对网络参数进行调整,也可能造成调整网络参数后实际的网络指标与期望网络指标不符。
为了使分析结果不符合全部分析请求网元的要求,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法。该通信方法可由数据分析网元和多个分析请求网元执行。如图3所示,数据分析网元可用于根据来自于多个分析请求网元的请求消息(或称分析请求)执行针对网络的智能分析,并向多个分析请求网元发送分析结果(或称请求消息对应的响应消息,简称为响应消息),例如,数据分析网元包括NWDAF或MDAS。该多个分析请求网元可以是待分析的网络中的网元,也可以是该网络以外的网元。分析请求网元可以包括用于根据分析结果对该网络的网络参数进行调整的业务网元,或者可以包括业务网元以外的其他网元,例如,分析请求网元可例如是AMF、SMF或AF等,不具体限定。该网络可包括至少一个网元,例如,包括图1所示架构中的至少一个NF。
下面结合图4对本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法进行说明,该通信方法可包括以下步骤:
S101:数据分析设备接收来自于第一分析请求网元的第一请求消息和来自于第二分析请求网元的第二请求消息。
其中,第一请求消息用于请求推荐的第一网络参数,第一请求消息包括第一分析请求网元要求的第一网络参数(以下简称为要求的第一网络参数)和第一网络指标,第一网络指标为第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标;第二请求消息用于请求推荐的第二网络参数,第二请求消息包括第二分析请求网元要求的第二网络参数(以下简称为要求的第二网络参数)和第二网络指标,第二网络指标为第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标。应理解,第一网络参数可以是第一分析请求网元(或第一分析请求网元对应的业务网元)的可调整的网络参数,第二网络参数可以是第二分析请求网元(或第二分析请求网元对应的业务网元)的可调整的网络参数。
本申请中,要求的第二网络参数的类型可以与要求的第一网络参数的类型相同或不同。比如,业务体验分析中,第一分析请求网元可以是SMF,此时要求的第一网络参数可以是比特速率和端到端时延,要求的第一网络参数可以指示能够接受的比特速率小于或等于20兆比特每秒(Mbps),以及指示可接受的端到端时延大于或等于20毫秒(ms)。第二分析请求网元可以是AF,此时要求的第二网络参数可以是DNAI,此时要求的第一网络参数的类型与要求的第二网络参数的类型不同。又如,第二分析请求网元可以是UPF,此时要求的第二网络参数的类型可以是比特速率和端到端时延,此时要求的第一网络参数的类型与要求的第二网络参数的类型相同。同理,要求的第一网络参数的数值与要求的第二网络参数的数值可以相同或不同。
本申请中,分析请求网元要求的网络参数(包括第一分析请求网元要求的第一网络参数和第二分析请求网元要求的第二网络参数)和分析请求网元期望的网络指标(包括第一网络指标和第二网络指标)中的至少一项可用于确定分析结果,使得分析结果数能够被分析请求网元所接受,以提高智能分析过程的可靠性。其中,该分析结果中可以包括推荐的网络参数,使得分析请求网元能够根据该推荐的网络参数对网络参数进行调整,以获得更好的网络优化效果。具体来说,第一分析请求网元所要求的第一网络参数和第一分析请求网元期望的第一网络指标可用于确定第一分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数,第二分析请求网元所要求的第二网络参数和第二分析请求网元期望的第二网络指标可用于确定第二分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数。
其中,分析请求网元要求的网络参数可包括分析请求网元要求的网络参数的类型,或包括要求的网络参数的类型和数值。分析请求网元要求的网络参数可以是对于分析请求网元来说网络参数的可接受的调整范围,使得数据分析网元根据网络参数的可接受的调整范围确定推荐的网络参数,避免数据分析网元所确定的推荐的网络参数超出分析请求网元的接受范围。应理解,请求消息可以携带包括至少一个要求的网络参数的网络参数列表。
分析请求网元期望的网络指标,可包括分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型,或包括期望的网络指标的类型和数值(或数值范围)。分析请求网元期望的网络指标可以是分析请求网元希望网络指标能够达到的数值。比如,分析请求网元希望经过对网络参数的调整,使得网络指标能够达到一定的数值,则可以向数据分析网元发送该数值,使得数据分析网元能够预测使得网络指标达到该数值的推荐的网络参数。因此数据分析网元可确定使网络指标达到期望的网络指标的网络参数,用于确定推荐的网络参数。在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请中第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型与第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型相同,例如对于业务体验分析来说,第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型与第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型均为体验评分,如MOS。在另一种可能的实现方式中,本申请中第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型与第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型可以不同,例如对于业务体验分析来说,第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标的类型为体验评分(如MOS),而第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标为业务体验质量达标的比例。
仍以第一请求消息为例,网络指标可以是MOS,如果第一分析请求网元期望的MOS不低于4.5,则数据分析网元可且令MOS不低于4.5的网络参数,并根据这些网络参数确定推荐的第一网络参数,其中,0≤MOS≤5。此外,第二分析请求网元期望的MOS可能与第一分析请求网元期望的MOS的数值相同或不同。
在一种可能的实现方式中,请求消息(例如第一请求消息和/或第二请求消息)中还可包括推荐的网络参数的要求信息。其中,该要求信息可用于指示从分析请求网元要求的网络参数的范围内和/或在分析请求网元期望的网络指标对应的网络参数的范围内,确定推荐的网络参数。具体的,要求信息可用于指示在要求的网络参数的范围内和/或在分析请求网元期望的网络指标对应的网络参数的范围内的最大或最小的网络参数作为推荐的网络参数,或者,要求信息可用于指示将预测的网络指标的最大值或最小值对应的网络参数作为推荐的网络参数。此外,要求信息还可用于代价函数。其中,代价函数是使用训练模型找到最优解的目的函数,用于从满足分析请求网元期望的网络指标所对应的多个网络参数中确定最优的网络参数作为推荐值。具体的,要求信息可用于指示推荐的网络参数的代价函 数最小,此时推荐的网络参数对应的系统开销最小。例如,在第一请求消息中还可包括第一分析请求网元的要求信息,该要求信息可用于确定第一分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数;和/或,在第二请求消息中还可包括第二分析请求网元的要求信息,该要求信息可用于确定第二分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,如果请求消息中包括分析请求网元期望的网络指标,请求消息中还可包括网络指标达到该期望的网络指标的期望比例。以网络指标是MOS为例,该期望比例可指示根据数据请求消息对应的分析结果调整网络参数后,分析请求网元希望的用户的MOS达到该期望的MOS的期望比例,例如,该期望比例不低于90%。例如,在第一请求消息中还可包括第一分析请求网元的期望比例,和/或,在第二请求消息中还可包括第二分析请求网元的期望比例。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该请求消息中还可包括分析请求网元所请求的分析类型,比如,第一请求消息和第二请求消息中均携带业务体验分析对应的分析类型标识。
本申请中,S101所示的请求消息可以是用于请求数据分析网元提供分析服务的消息,也可以是用于请求订阅分析服务的订阅请求。如果是用于请求提供分析服务的消息,则数据分析网元根据请求消息,一次性地向分析请求网元输出分析结果。如果是分析服务的订阅消息,则数据分析网元根据请求消息,定时或事件触发向分析请求网元多次输出分析结果,直到分析请求网元取消本次订阅。
其中,如果请求消息是订阅请求,则请求消息中还可包括订阅标识,用于标识本次订阅,则分析请求网元可通过订阅标识区分不同的分析订阅。
例如,来自于第一分析请求网元的第一请求消息中可携带订阅标识#1,来自于第二分析请求网元的第二请求消息中可携带订阅标识#2,则在数据分析网元接收订阅后,在第一分析请求网元与数据分析网元之间传输的每个消息中均可携带订阅标识#1,以及,在第二分析请求网元与数据分析网元之间传输的每个消息中均可携带订阅标识#2。
S102:数据分析网元根据第一网络指标和第二网络指标确定第三网络指标,第三网络指标为第一分析请求网元和第二分析网元共同期望的网络指标。
其中,如果第一网络指标和第二网络指标相同,则第三网络指标可以是第一网络指标或第二网络指标。例如,以业务体验分析为例,如果第一网元指标和第二网络指标均为MOS不低于4.5,则第三网络指标可以是MOS不低于4.5。
如果第一网络指标和第二网络指标不同,则第三网络指标可以是根据第一网络指标和/或第二网络指标确定的。比如,第三网络指标可以是第一网络指标和第二网络指标的交集。仍以业务体验分析为例,如果第一网络指标为MOS不低于4.5,第二网络指标为MOS不低于4,则第三网络指标可以是MOS不低于45。或者,第三网络指标也可以是第一网络指标和第二网络指标的折中数值等,例如,第一网络指标为MOS不低于4.5,第二网络指标为MOS不低于4第三网络指标为MOS不低于4.3。又如,在没有网络参数能够满足第一网络指标和第二网络指标的交集的情况下,数据分析网元可以将第一网络指标和第二网络指标的并集作为第三网络参数。其中,满足第一网络指标和第二网络指标的交集,是指训练后的模型的自变量包括在第一分析请求网元要求的网络参数的范围内的任意网络参数和在第二分析请求网元要求的网络参数的范围内的任意网络参数的情况下,均无法使模型的因变量在第一网络指标和第二网络指标的交集的范围内。
应理解,如果第三网络指标与第一网络指标不同,则数据分析网元可以向第一分析请 求网元发送第一消息。其中,该第一消息用于将期望的网络指标修改为第三网络指标。同理,如果第三网络指标与第二网络指标不同,则数据分析网元可以向第二分析请求网元发送用于将期望的网络指标修改为第三网络指标的消息(也可以是第一消息,或者是另外的消息)。
此外,如果第一网络指标的类型和第二网络指标的类型不同,则第三网络指标的类型可以与第一网络指标和第二网络指标中的一个相同,或者,第三网络指标包括第一网络指标和第二网络指标。例如,例如对于业务体验分析来说,第一分析请求网元期望的网络指标为MOS不低于4.5,而第二分析请求网元期望的网络指标为业务体验质量达标的比例不低于90%,则第三网络指标为MOS不低于4.5的比例大于等于90%。
S103:数据分析网元根据第三网络指标、第一分析请求网元要求的第一网络参数和第二分析请求网元要求的第二网络参数,确定推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数,推荐的第三网络参数对应于第一网络参数,也就是说,推荐的第三网络参数是根据第一网络参数确定的;推荐的第四网络参数对应于第二网络参数,也就是说,推荐的第四网络参数是根据第二网络参数确定的。
在S103中,数据分析网元可以通过训练后的模型并根据第三网络指标、第一分析请求网元要求的第一网络参数和第二分析请求网元要求的第二网络参数,确定推荐的网络参数。其中,如果没有已经训练好的模型时,数据分析网元需要首先进入模型训练阶段,在训练阶段获得训练好的模型。其中在模型训练阶段,输入数据为数据分析网元收集的数据,包括模型的自变量(包括网络参数)和对应的因变量(包括网络指标),输出网络模型的结构和内部参数,即训练后的模型,这时数据分析网元获得了训练后的模型。如果数据分析网元已经有训练后的模型,比如,通过此前的训练阶段获得该模型,或者从其他网元或设备接收该模型,则数据分析网元可以使用该训练后的模型用于推理、预测或推荐。该模型用于推理和预测时,模型的输入数据可包括自变量,模型的输出结果可包括因变量。当该训练后的模型用于确定推荐的自变量时,模型的输入数据可包括预测的模型的因变量(包括一个或多个预测要达到的网络指标,在S103中具体可以包括第三网络指标),模型的输出结果可包括至少一个类型的推荐的自变量(例如包括推荐的第三网络参数和第四推荐的网络参数)。
进一步的,数据分析网元可根据请求消息确定分析请求网元要求的网络参数的类型,根据要求的网络参数的类型从训练后的模型的多个类型的推荐的自变量中确定与要求的网络参数的类型相同的一个或多个类型的网络参数,作为推荐的网络参数。此外,数据分析网元还可确定要求的网络参数的类型以外的其他类型的推荐的网络参数(以下称为未要求的网络参数),这些未要求的网络参数可以取该类型的网络参数的当前数值或历史平均值,或者还可以取该类型的网络参数未来最大概率出现的预测值。
以业务体验分析为例,如果第一分析请求网元为SMF,SMF要求的网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延,即第一网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延,第二分析请求网元为AF,AF要求的网络参数包括DNAI,即第二网络参数包括DNAI,则数据分析网元可确定满足第三网络指标的至少一组网络参数,每组网络参数至少包括DNAI、比特速率和端到端时延。
然后数据分析网元根据所述模型和所述一个或多个分析请求网元期望的网络指标,分析输出对应的一个或多个网络参数的推荐值,这里的网络参数的推荐值包括要求的网络参 数的推荐值,还可包括未要求的网络参数的推荐值。比如,SMF要求的网络参数的类型为比特速率,数据分析网元可确定推荐的比特速率,以及还可以确定推荐的端到端时延,并向分析请求网元发送推荐的比特速率和推荐的端到端时延。
例如,在数据分析网元可确定满足第三网络指标的至少一组网络参数后,数据分析网元进一步可根据SMF要求的比特速率的数值和端到端时延的数值,以及AF要求的DNAI的数值,从至少一组网络参数中,确定一组网络参数,该组网络参数中的比特速率和端到端时延为推荐的第三网络参数,该组网络参数中的DNAI为推荐的第四网络参数。示例性的,数据分析网元确定的该组网络参数中,比特速率的数值在SMF要求的比特速率的范围内、端到端时延的数值在SMF要求的端到端时延的范围内,且DNAI在AF要求的DNAI的范围内。
在一种可能的实现方式中,数据分析网元的因变量还可包括网络指标达到所述第三网络指标的预测比例,该预测比例可指示同时采用推荐的第三网络参数和第四网络参数进行调整后,预计实际的网络指标能够达到所述第三网络指标的比例,则数据分析网元还可发送所述第三网络指标和所述预测比例。其中,所述预测比例可以等于或大于第一请求消息中携带的期望比例,也可以小于第一请求消息中的所述期望比例;或者,所述预测比例可以等于或大于第二请求消息中携带的期望比例,也可以小于第二请求消息中的期望比例。所述预测比例可以帮助分析请求网元确定是否接受推荐的网络参数并进行调整。
应理解,这里所述的模型的训练过程可以在数据分析网元中进行,也可以由其他网元通过训练获得训练后的模型后将该模型发送给数据分析网元。如果由数据分析网元确定该模型,数据分析网元可以按照一定的周期收集数据并训练模型,因此不需要在每次执行网络智能分析时重新训练模型。
S104:数据分析网元发送推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中,数据分析网元可向第一分析请求网元或第二分析请求网元发送第一分析结果,该第一分析结果中可包括推荐的第三网络参数和/或推荐的第四网络参数。此外,第一分析结果中还可包括要求的第三网络参数或第四网络参数、所述第三网络指标、所述预测比例中的至少一项。
采用图4所示方法,在数据分析网元分别接收到来自于多个分析请求网元的业务分析请求消息的情况下,可以根据其中一个业务分析请求网元权要的网络指标,确定这两个分析请求网元分别的推荐的网络参数,避免多个分析请求网元各自按照不同的网络指标的目标对网络参数进行调整而导致网络性能的降低或业务中断,以提高智能分析的可靠性。
下面以数据分析网元是NWDAF、第一分析请求网元是SMF,第二分析请求网元是AF为例,结合图5对本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法进行说明。
如图5所示,该方法可包括以下步骤:
S201:SMF向NWDAF发送订阅请求。
其中,该订阅请求中可携带业务体验分析对应的分析类型标识、SMF期望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数。例如,SMF期望的网络指标为MOS大于4.0,SMF要求的网络参数包括比特速率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该订阅消息中还可携带订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收该请求消息。
S202:NWDAF向SMF发送订阅请求的响应消息。
其中,该响应消息可用于指示订阅成功。订阅请求的响应消息中可包括S201中的订阅标识。
在S202之前NWDAF可以在确定接受该订阅请求后执行S202。
在一种可能的实现方式中,NWDAF还可在接受SMF的订阅请求后存储SMF的订阅内容,订阅内容包括但不限于该订阅请求中的业务类型标识、SMF期望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数和订阅标识。
相应地,SMF接收该订阅请求的响应消息。
S203:AF通过NEF向NWDAF发送订阅请求。
其中,该订阅请求中可携带业务体验分析对应的分析类型标识、AF期望的网络指标、AF要求的网络参数。例如,AF期望的网络指标为MOS大于4.5,AF要求的网络参数包括DNAI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该订阅消息中还可携带订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收该请求消息,并存储AF对应的订阅内容,包括但不限于存储业务类型标识、AF要求的网络参数、AF期望的网络指标和订阅标识。
S204:NWDAF确定SMF请求分析的业务类型与AF请求分析的业务类型相同,但是SMF期望的网络指标与AF期望的网络指标不一致,NWDAF进一步确定SMF和AF共同期望的网络指标为MOS大于4.0。
其中,NWDAF可确定存储的S201的订阅请求中的分析类型标识与S203的订阅请求的分析类型标识相同,且存储的S201的订阅请求中的SMF期望的网络指标与S203中AF期望的网络指标不同,则NWDAF可确定SMF与AF请求的分析类型相同且期望的网络指标不一致。
S205:NWDAF通过NEF向AF发送第一消息,该第一消息用于将期望的网络指标修改为MOS大于4.0。该第一消息中还可携带S204中的订阅标识。
相应地,AF接收第一消息。
S206:AF通过NEF向NWDAF发送更新的订阅请求,其中携带的期望的网络指标指示MOS大于4.0。更新的订阅请求中可携带S204所示的订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收更新的订阅请求,并根据更新的订阅请求更新AF的订阅内容,更新后AF的订阅内容包括业务类型标识、AF期望的网络指标(为S206更新的订阅请求中的数值)、AF要求的网络参数和订阅标识。
S207:NWDAF确定SMF的订阅和AF的订阅期望的网络指标相同,根据该期望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数和AF要求的网络参数确定推荐的网络参数。
示例性的,该推荐的网络参数包括:推荐的比特速率为14Mbps,以及推荐的DNAI的标识为DNAI#1。
可选的,NWDAF可将推荐的比特速率与SMF的标识和S201中的订阅标识进行关联,以及将推荐的DNAI与AF的标识和S204中的订阅标识进行关联。
S208:NWDAF向SMF发送推荐的比特速率。
具体的,NWDAF可向SMF发送推荐的比特速率和S201中的订阅标识。
相应地,SMF接收推荐的比特速率。
S209:NWDAF通过NEF向AF发送推荐的DNAI。
具体的,NWDAF可通过NEF向AF发送推荐的DNAI和S204中的订阅标识。
相应地,AF接收推荐的DNAI。
基于图5所示流程,在接收到来自于多个分析请求网元的分析请求的情况下,如果NWDAF确定多个分析请求的业务类型标识相同,但是期望的网络指标的数值不同,则NWDAF可以确定多个分析请求网元共同期望的网络指标,根据该共同期望的网络指标确定推荐的网络参数可以避免不同的分析请求网元进行网络参数调整时产生冲突。
在一种可能的实现方式中,如果第一网络参数的类型与第二网络参数的类型重合,例如,第一网络参数(或第一网络参数包括的部分网络参数)的类型与第二网络参数(或第二网络参数包括的部分网络参数)的类型相同,则在S104中可由数据分析网元向第一分析请求网元和/或第二分析请求网元发送推荐的网络参数,此时第一分析请求网元获得的推荐的网络参数的类型可能与第一网络参数的类型不同,和/或,第二分析请求网元获得的推荐的网络参数的类型可能与第二网络参数的类型不同。
下面结合第一网络参数的类型和第二网络参数的类型是否重合的不同情况,对S104的实现方式进行举例说明。
情况1,第一网络参数对应于第三网络参数,第二网络参数对应于第四网络参数,且第一网络参数与第二网络参数之间不重合,S104中,数据分析网元可以向第一分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数,并向第二分析请求网元发送推荐的第四网络参数。
应理解,当网络参数A与网络参数B相同时,为了方便说明,可称这网络参数A对应于网络参数B,其中,网络参数A和网络参数B可包括至少一种类型的网络参数。例如,网络参数A和网络参数B均包括a和b这两种网络参数,则可称网络参数A对应于网络参数B,和/或,网络参数A(或网络参数B)对应于a和b这两种网络参数。
情况2,第一网络参数对应于第三网络参数和第四网络参数,第二网络参数对应于第四网络参数,且第一网络参数与第二网络参数之间存在重合,第三网络参数和第四网络参数不重合。
在情况2中,在确定推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数后,数据分析网元可以通过以下方式中的任意一种实现网络参数的推荐:
方式1,数据分析网元可以向第一分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数,此时不需要向第二分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数和第四网络参数。
例如,第一分析请求网元是SMF,SMF要求的第一网络参数包括比特速率,第二分析请求网元是UPF,UPF要求的第二网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延,因此SMF要求的第一网络参数与UPF要求的第二网络参数均包括比特速率。在方式1中,数据分析网元可以向SMF发送推荐的比特速率和推荐的端到端时延,以及,向UPF发送推荐的比特速率。
可见在方式1中,数据分析网元向第一分析请求网元和第二分析请求网元推荐的网络参数分别与第一分析请求网元要求的网络参数和第二分析请求网元要求的网络参数的类型相同,使得推荐的网络参数能够满足分析请求网元的要求。
方式2,数据分析网元可以向第一分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数,以及向第二分析请求网元发送推荐的第四网络参数。
例如,第一分析请求网元是UPF,UPF要求的第一网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延,第二分析请求网元是SMF,SMF要求的第二网络参数包括比特速率,因此UPF要求的第一网络参数与SMF要求的第二网络参数均包括比特速率。在方式2中,数据分析网 元可以向UPF发送推荐的端到端时延,以及,向SMF发送推荐的比特速率。
此外在方式2中,由于方式2中没有根据第一分析请求向第一分析请求网元发送推荐的第四网络参数,此时数据分析网元可以向第一分析请求网元发送第二消息,该第二消息可用于取消第一分析请求网元对于要求的第四网络参数的请求(或订阅),或者,第二消息可用于将第一分析请求网元要求的网络参数修改为第三网络参数,或者,第二消息用于指示已将推荐的第四网络参数发送至第二分析请求网元,或者,第二消息可用于指示由第二分析请求网元根据推荐的第四网络参数进行网络参数的调整。例如沿用上例,数据分析网元还可向UPF发送第二消息,以指示取消UPF对于推荐的比特速率的请求。
方式3,数据分析网元可以向第一分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数,此时不需要向第二分析请求网元发送推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数。
例如,第一分析请求网元是UPF,UPF要求的第一网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延,第二分析请求网元是SMF,SMF要求的第二网络参数包括比特速率,因此UPF要求的第一网络参数与SMF要求的第二网络参数均包括比特速率。在方式3中,数据分析网元可以向UPF发送推荐的比特速率和推荐的端到端时延,此时,数据分析网元不需要向SMF发送推荐的比特速率。
此外在方式3中,由于方式3中没有根据第二分析请求向第二分析请求网元发送第二网络参数对应的推荐的网络参数,此时数据分析网元可以向第二分析请求网元发送第三消息,该第三消息可用于取消第二分析请求网元对于推荐的第四网络参数的请求(或订阅),或者,第三消息用于指示已将要求的第四网络参数发送至第一分析请求网元,或者,第三消息可用于指示由第一分析请求网元根据推荐的第四网络参数进行网络参数的调整。例如沿用上例,数据分析网元还可向SMF发送第三消息,以指示取消SMF对于推荐的比特速率的请求。
根据方式2和方式3,数据分析网元在确定第一网络参数与第二网络参数之间存在重合的情况下,不会将推荐的重合的网络参数发送给两个分析请求网元,而是将推荐的重合的网络参数发送给其中一个分析请求网元,避免这两个分析请求网元都根据推荐的网络参数进行调整,造成网络参数的过度调整。
下面以数据分析网元是NWDAF、第一分析请求网元是UPF,第二分析请求网元是SMF为例,结合图6对本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法进行说明。
如图6所示,该方法可包括以下步骤:
S301:SMF向NWDAF发送订阅请求。
其中,该订阅请求中可携带业务体验分析对应的分析类型标识、SMF期望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数。例如,SMF期望的网络指标为MOS大于4.0,SMF要求的网络参数包括比特速率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该订阅消息中还可携带订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收该请求消息。
S302:NWDAF向SMF发送订阅请求的响应消息。
其中,该响应消息可用于指示订阅成功。订阅请求的响应消息中可包括S301中的订阅标识。
在S302之前NWDAF可以在确定接受该订阅请求后执行S302。
在一种可能的实现方式中,NWDAF还可在接受SMF的订阅请求后存储SMF的订阅内容,订阅内容包括但不限于该订阅请求中的业务类型标识、SMF期望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数和订阅标识。
相应地,SMF接收该订阅请求的响应消息。
S303:UPF向NWDAF发送订阅请求。
其中,该订阅请求中可携带业务体验分析对应的分析类型标识、UPF期望的网络指标、AF要求的网络参数。例如,UPF期望的网络指标为MOS大于4.0,UPF要求的网络参数包括比特速率和端到端时延。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该订阅消息中还可携带订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收该请求消息,并存储UPF对应的订阅内容,包括但不限于存储业务类型标识、UPF要求的网络参数、UPF期望的网络指标和订阅标识。
S304:NWDAF确定SMF请求分析的业务类型与UPF请求分析的业务类型相同,并且SMF要求的网络参数与AF要求的网络参数存在重合。其中,重合的网络参数为比特速率。
其中,NWDAF可确定存储的S301的订阅请求中的分析类型标识与S303的订阅请求的分析类型标识相同,且存储的S301的订阅请求中的SMF要求的网络参数与S303中UPF要求的网络参数均包括同一类型的网络参数(这里是比特速率),则NWDAF可确定SMF请求分析的业务类型与UPF请求分析的业务类型相同,并且SMF要求的网络参数与AF要求的网络参数存在重合。
S305:NWDAF向UPF发送第二消息,该第二消息用于UPF将要求的网络参数修改为端到端时延。
或者,第三消息可用于指示由SMF根据推荐的对比特速率进行调整。
示例性的,第三消息中可包括S304中的订阅标识、用于指示有事项待确认(即需要确认修改后的要求的网络参数)的标识、将网络参数修改为端到端时延的信息和SMF的标识中的至少一项。
相应地,UPF接收第一消息。
S306:UPF向NWDAF发送更新的订阅请求,其中携带的要求的网络指标指示MOS大于4.0。更新的订阅请求中可携带S204所示的订阅标识。
相应地,NWDAF接收更新的订阅请求,并根据更新的订阅请求更新UPF的订阅内容,更新后UPF的订阅内容包括业务类型标识、UPF期望的网络指标(为S206更新的订阅请求中的数值)、UPF要求的网络参数和订阅标识。
在另一种可能的示例中,NWDAF还可向SMF发送要求的网络参数冲突的通知,该通知中可携带S301中的订阅标识、发生冲突的传输(这里即比特速率)和UPF的标识中的至少一项,可由SMF决定是否更改要求的网络参数。如果SMF决定不更改SMF要求的网络参数,SMF可向UPF通知不再由UPF请求推荐的比特速率,则UPF可以执行S306,此时不需要执行S305。
另一种可能的示例中,如果SMF决定更改SMF要求的网络参数,SMF可向NWDAF发送用于取消对于推荐的比特速率的订阅的消息,此时可由NWDAF向UPF发送推荐的比特速率,从而由UPF对比特速率进行调整。此时不需要执行S305和S306。
S307:NWDAF确定SMF的订阅和UPF的订阅中的要求的网络参数不重合,根据期 望的网络指标、SMF要求的网络参数和UPF要求的网络参数确定推荐的网络参数。
可选的,NWDAF可将推荐的比特速率与SMF的标识和S301中的订阅标识进行关联,以及将推荐的端到端时延与UPF的标识和S304中的订阅标识进行关联。
S308:NWDAF向SMF发送推荐的比特速率。
具体的,NWDAF可向SMF发送推荐的比特速率和S201中的订阅标识。
相应地,SMF接收推荐的比特速率。
S309:NWDAF向UPF发送推荐的端到端时延和S304中的订阅标识。
相应地,UPF接收推荐的端到端时延。
采用图6所示流程,NWDAF可以在SMF和UPF均请求推荐的比特速率的情况下,决定由SMF或UPF中的一个获得推荐的比特速率,避免推荐冲突。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在S104之后,如果推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数分别发送至第一分析请求网元和第二分析请求网元,则在第一分析请求网元或第二分析请求网元不接受来自于数据分析网元的推荐的网络参数的情况下,数据分析网元可以重新确定第一分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数(以下称为推荐的第五网络参数)和第二分析请求网元对应的推荐的网络参数(以下称为推荐的第六网络参数)。应理解,推荐的第五网络参数对应于第一网络参数,也就是说,推荐的第五网络参数根据第一网络参数确定;推荐的第六网络参数对应于第二网络参数,也就是说,推荐的第六网络参数根据第二网络参数确定。
具体来说,数据分析网元可根据来自于第一分析请求网元的第四消息确定第一分析请求网元不接受推荐的第三网络参数,例如,第四消息可用于指示第一分析请求网元不接受推荐的第三网络参数,或者,第四消息可用于指示第一分析请求网元请求重新确定推荐的网络参数(如重新确定推荐的第三网络参数或推荐的第一网络参数)。其中,如果分析请求网元确定无法根据推荐的网络参数的类型或数值对网络参数进行调整,则可确定不接受推荐的网络参数。
数据分析网元可根据第四信息重新确定推荐的网络参数。一种可能的实现方式中,数据分析网元可从该不被接受的网络参数的历史平均值或最大似然概率值作为推荐的第五网络参数,并根据该推荐的第五网络参数确定推荐的第六网络参数。例如,将与推荐的网络参数同属一组的且与第二网络参数的类型相同的网络参数作为推荐的第六网络参数,其中,推荐的第五网络参数和推荐的第六网络参数属于一组能够满足第三网络指标的网络参数。
此外,数据分析网元也可从满足第三网络指标的至少一组网络参数中确定一组网络参数,将该组网络参数包括的与第一网络参数的类型相同的网络参数作为推荐的第五网络参数,以及将该组网络参数包括的与第二网络参数的类型相同的网络参数作为推荐的第六网络参数。或者,数据分析网元可以根据重新根据第一网络指标和第二网络指标确定更新的第三网络指标,之后根据更新的第三网络指标确定推荐的第五网络参数和推荐的第六网络参数,具体实现方式可参见根据第三网络指标确定推荐的第三网络参数和推荐的第四网络参数的说明。
同理,如果第二分析请求网元不接受推荐的第四网络参数,则第二分析请求网元可向数据分析网元发送用于指示不接受推荐的第四网络参数的消息,数据分析网元可根据该消息重新确定推荐的网络参数。
下面以数据分析网元是NWDAF、第一分析请求网元是UPF,第二分析请求网元是SMF为例,结合图7对本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法进行说明。
如图7所示,本申请实施例提供的通信方法可包括以下步骤:
S401:NWDAF向UPF发送推荐的端到端时延,以及向SMF发送推荐的比特速率。
其中,推荐的端到端时延和推荐的比特速率满足UPF和SMF共同期望的网络指标,例如,推荐的端到端时延为10ms,推荐的比特速率为5Mbps。
示例性的,S401的实现方式可参见图6中的说明。
S402:UPF接收到推荐的端到端时延后,确定该推荐的端到端时延是不可接受的。
在一种可能的实现方式中,虽然该推荐的端到端时延的数值在UPF要求的端到端时延的范围内,但是UPF根据当前网络运行情况无法将端到端时延调整到推荐的数值,于是确定该端到端时延是不可接受的。
例如,UPF当前不支持10ms的端到端时延,则UPF可确定推荐的端到端时延不可接受。
S403:UPF向NWDAF发送第四消息,第四消息用于指示UPF不接受推荐的端到端时延。
相应地,NWDAF接收第四信息。
S404:NWDAF将推荐的比特速率的历史平均值作为更新的端到端时延,以及根据更新的端到端时延确定满足网络指标的更新的比特速率。
S405:NWDAF向UPF发送更新的端到端时延。
相应地,UPF接收更新的端到端时延。
S406:NWDAF向SMF发送更新的比特速率。
相应地,SMF接收更新的比特速率。
采用图7所示流程,NWDAF可以在UPF不接受推荐的端到端时延的情况下,重新确定推荐的比特速率和端到端时延,并分别向SMF和UPF指示推荐的比特速率和推荐的端到端时延,避免网络参数调整和结果不能满足期望的网络指标。
