具体实施方式
本申请提供一种意图处理方法、装置及设备,用以保证执行意图方案的设备的性能。其中,方法、装置和设备是基于同一技术构思的,由于解决问题的原理相似,因此装置、设备与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
通过本申请实施例提供的方案,第一设备在向第二设备发送用于指示执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个关键参数指标(key performance indicator,KPI)的影响的第一信息之后,接收来自所述第二设备的用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息。这样,所述第二设备可以根据执行所述第一意图的方案时对所述至少一个KPI的影响,确定针对所述第一意图的执行建议,从而可以避免执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI不满足所述第二设备对执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求,进而可以保证执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络的性能。
以下,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)、意图,是对意图生产者所在系统的期望,可以包括需求、目标和限制条件(即约束)。
意图表达式是承载意图的表达式;因此,意图可以通过意图表达式来表现。意图表达式中可以包括动作和对象(又称为操作对象)。其中,动作是指根据意图抽象和简化的网络操作,可以包含意图驱动动作(intent driven action,IDA)名(name)和一系列相关属性(例如,IDA属性,IDA properties);对象是指根据意图提供的管理对象信息,可以包 含意图驱动对象(intent driven object,IDO)名(name)和一系列用于标识对象的属性(例如,IDO属性,IDO properties)。意图的目标值可以包含在动作或者对象中;或者,意图表达式包括动作、对象和目标值。例如,意图为优化小区下行速率,其中,动作是“优化”,对象是“小区”,目标值是小区下行速率的具体数值。
意图表达式中只包含对目标的描述,意图的具体实施方法由意图生产者对意图表达式进行解析、转译得到。意图生产者自己可以确定使用何种方案来满足期望,即意图生产者自己可以确定使用何种方案满足意图。
2)、意图冲突。
当两个意图因为互斥而无法同时满足时,这两个意图存在意图冲突。
意图冲突可以包括语法冲突和/或操作冲突。
语法冲突是指两个意图的意图表达式存在冲突。例如,两个意图的意图表达式描述了同一个对象(例如,小区、基站等)在同一生效条件下互斥的目标。一个示例是,一个意图的意图表达式体现的目标为提高小区下行速率,另一个意图的意图表达式体现的目标为降低小区下行速率,则这两个意图之间存在语法冲突。
操作冲突是指两个意图在转译后的执行操作(intent operation)上存在的冲突,即两个意图的操作无法同时执行。例如,两个意图分别对应的方案中包含对同一个网元的同一个参数和/或属性的互斥操作。一个示例是,当意图1的方案要求将网络配置参数A调高,而意图2的方案要求将网络配置参数A调低时,意图1与意图2之间存在操作冲突。
3)、意图转译,为确定意图的策略的过程。
其中,策略可以是用于指示不满足意图的条件。例如,当意图为节能时,策略A可以是:能耗大于第一阈值时,能耗异常(即不节能);策略B可以是:能耗大于第二阈值时,能耗异常(即不节能)。
可以理解,即便是对于同样的意图,采用不同策略确定出来的能够满足意图的方案可能是不一样的。
4)、意图的方案,为能够满足该意图的至少一个方案。每个方案可以包含至少一个操作。
例如,当意图为节能时,该意图的方案可以包含:
方案一:打开节能调度;打开定时载波关断;打开智能载波关断。
方案二:打开微型射频拉远模块(pico remote radio unit,pRRU)深度休眠;打开射频模块深度休眠节能。
方案三:打开多模联合符号关断;打开低功耗模式;打开射频通道智能关断。
其中,所述意图的方案可以为意图生产者生成的能够满足该意图的至少一个方案,也可以为执行该意图的设备正在执行的用于满足该意图的方案。当执行该意图的设备执行该意图的方案时,执行该意图的设备所在的网络能够满足该意图。
5)、KPI,是系统中的关键参数。
KPI可以包括网络配置参数。例如,KPI包括以下至少一项:吞吐率、吞吐量、能耗、带宽利用率、时延、丢包率等。
6)、意图消费者,为对意图进行管理的设备。具体的,意图消费者可以生成意图,并向意图生成者发送用于承载该意图的意图表达式。其中,该意图可以是意图消费者对执行意图方案的设备所在网络的需求,例如,该意图可以体现意图消费者对执行意图方案的设 备所在网络中至少一个KPI的需求。
意图生产者,为对意图进行处理的设备。具体的,意图生产者可以在接收到来自意图消费者的意图表达式之后,生成多个能够满足该意图的方案,并从中选择一个用于执行的方案。然后,所述意图生产者可以将选择的方案发送给执行该意图的设备,以便执行该意图的设备执行选择的方案。
其中,意图消费者和/或意图生产者可以为AN设备,也可以为CN设备。例如,意图消费者可以为网络管理服务(network management service,NMS)、IDMS消费者(IDMS consumer)或管理服务消费者(management service consumer,MnS consumer)(下面简称为MnS消费者)。意图生产者可以为网元管理服务(element management service,EMS)、IDMS生产者(IDMS producer)或管理服务生产者(management service producer,MnS producer)(下面简称为MnS生产者)。
应理解,意图消费者和意图生产者也可以采用其他名称,只要具有相同的功能即可,本申请对此不做限定。
7)、AN设备,是移动通信系统中将终端设备接入到无线网络的设备。AN设备作为无线接入网中的节点,还可以称为基站、无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点(或设备)、接入点(access point,AP)。
目前,一些AN设备的举例为:新一代节点B(generation Node B,gNB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved NodeB,或home Node B,HNB),或基带单元(base band unit,BBU)等。
另外,在一种网络结构中,所述AN设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit,DU)节点。这种结构将AN设备的协议层拆分开,部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制,剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中,由CU集中控制DU。
8)、CN设备,是移动通信系统中CN部分中包含的网元。CN设备能够将终端设备接入到不同的数据网络,以及进行计费、移动性管理、会话管理、用户面转发等业务。在不同制式的移动通信系统中,具有相同功能的CN设备的名称可以存在差异。然而,本申请实施例不限定具有每个功能的CN设备的具体名称。
例如,在第4代(4 th generation,4G)移动通信系统(即长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)中,负责接入控制、安全控制和信令协调等功能的网元为移动性管理实体(Mobile management entity,MME);作为本地移动管理锚点的网元为服务网关(serving gateway,S-GW);作为外部数据网络的切换的锚点、负责因特网协议(internet protocol,IP)地址分配的网元为分组数据网络(packet data network,PDN)网关(PDN gateway,P-GW);存储用户相关数据和签约数据的网元为归属签约服务器(home subscriber server,HSS);负责策略、计费功能的网元称为策略与计费控制规则功能(policy and charging rule function,PCRF)网元。
又例如,在第5代(5 th generation,5G)移动通信系统中,按照具体的逻辑功能划分,核心网可以分为控制面(control plane,CP)和用户面(user plane,UP)。其中,CN中负责控制面功能的网元可以统称为控制面网元,负责用户面功能的网元可以统称为用户面网 元。具体的,在用户面,作为数据网络的接口、负责用户面数据转发等功能的网元为用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元。在控制面中,负责接入控制、移动性管理功能的网元称为接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元;负责会话管理、控制策略的执行的网元称为会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)网元;负责管理签约数据、用户接入授权等功能的网元称为统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)网元;负责计费、策略控制功能的网元称为策略控制功能(Policy and charging function,PCF)网元;负责传输应用侧对网络侧的需求的应用功能(application function,AF)网元。
本申请实施例中,对于名词的数目,除非特别说明,表示“单数名词或复数名词”,即"一个或多个”。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指这些项(个)中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。
另外,需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不应理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不应理解为指示或暗示顺序。
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例应用的通信系统进行描述。
图1示出了本申请实施例提供的意图处理方法适用的一种可能的通信系统的架构。如图1所示,所述通信系统包括四部分:IDMS消费者、IDMS生产者、数据收集和协调功能(data collection and coordination function,DCCF)生产者(DCCF producer)和知识管理(knowledge management,KM)生产者(KM producer)。下面分别对这四部分进行说明。

DCCF生产者是提供DCCF服务的设备。其中,DCCF服务可以但不限于包括以下至少一项:数据收集服务、数据整理服务、数据提供服务等。
其中,DCCF生产者可以通过IDMS生产者中的DCCF消费者(DCCF consumer),为IDMS生产者提供DCCF服务。具体的,当DCCF消费者调用DCCF服务时,DCCF生产者通过DCCF消费者向IDMS生产者提供DCCF服务(例如,提供数据)。
在本申请中,DCCF生产者也可以称为DCCF。

下面结合附图对本申请提供的方案进行说明。
本申请实施例提供了一种意图处理方法,该方法可应用于图1或图2所示的通信系统中。下面参阅图3所示的流程图,对该方法的流程进行具体说明。
S301:第一设备向第二设备发送第一信息。相应的,所述第二设备接收来自所述第一设备的所述第一信息。
其中,所述第一设备可以为意图生产者,所述第二设备可以为意图消费者。
其中,所述第一信息可以用于指示执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的影响。
其中,所述第一意图的方案可以为能够满足所述第一意图的至少一个方案。
例如,所述第一意图的方案可以为所述第一设备生成的能够满足所述第一意图的至少一个方案。其中,所述第一设备可以在接收到来自所述第二设备的针对所述第一意图的意图创建请求之后,生成能够满足所述第一意图的至少一个方案。
又例如,所述第一意图的方案可以为所述第一设备当前正在执行的所述第一意图的方案。
可选的,所述至少一个KPI包括以下至少一项:吞吐率、吞吐量、能耗、带宽利用率、时延、丢包率。
可选的,执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的影响为执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值。所述第一信息包括:用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值的信息;和/或,用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移的信息,以及用于指示所述至少一个KPI的当前值的信息。
其中,执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移可以是执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI变化的数值(该数值可以是整数、负数或0),也可以是执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI变化的百分比。
可选的,所述第一信息可以承载在现有的消息中,也可以承载在新的消息中,本申请对此不做限定。
S302:所述第二设备向所述第一设备发送用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息。相应的,所述第一设备接收来自所述第二设备的用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息。
其中,所述执行建议可以包括:停止执行所述第一意图,或者执行所述第一意图的第一方案。
例如,用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息包含第一字段,当第一字段的取值为第一值时,所述执行建议为停止执行所述第一意图。
又例如,用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息包含第一字段和第二字段,当第一字段的取值为第二值,所述第二字段的取值为所述第一方案时,所述执行建议为执行所述第一意图的所述第一方案。
再例如,用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息包含第二字段,当所述第二字段的取值为所述第一方案时,所述执行建议为执行所述第一意图的所述第一方案。
可选的,在接收到来自所述第二设备的用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息之后,所述第一设备可以根据所述执行建议对所述第一意图进行处理。例如,当所述执行建议包括停止执行所述第一意图时,所述第一设备可以停止执行所述第一意图。又例如,当所述执行建议包括执行所述第一意图的第一方案时,所述第一设备可以执行所述第一方案,从而满足所述第一意图。
可选的,用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息可以承载在现有的消息(例如,意图修改请求)中,也可以承载在新的消息中,本申请对此不做限定。
通过上述方法实施例,所述第一设备在向所述第二设备发送用于指示执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的影响的第一信息之后,接收来自所述第二设备的用于指示针对所述第一意图的执行建议的信息。这样,所述第二设备可以根据执行所述第一意图的方案时对所述至少一个KPI的影响,确定针对所述第一意图的执行建议。例如,所述第二设备可以选择能够满足所述第二设备对执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求(即所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件)的方案,并建议所述第一设备选择该方案。因此,通过上述方法实施例,可以避免执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI不满足所述第二设备对执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求,进而可以 保证所述执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中的性能。
可选的,S301可以通过以下方式实现。
实现方式一:所述第一设备可以在根据来自所述第二设备的意图创建请求生成能够满足所述第一意图的至少一个方案之后,向所述第二设备发送所述第一信息。

其中,所述第一信息可以包括:用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值的信息;和/或,用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移的信息,以及用于指示所述至少一个KPI的当前值的信息。
可选的,所述第一设备可以通过以下方法确定所述第一信息:
A1:所述第一设备接收来自第三设备的第二信息。
其中,所述第三设备可以为KM。
可选的,所述第二信息用于指示以下至少一项:执行第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移,执行第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI的偏移。
其中,执行所述第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI的偏移可以为以下一项:执行所述第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI变化的数值(该数值可以是整数、负数或0),执行所述第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI变化的百分比。
可选的,所述第三设备中的第二信息可以是系统管理者预先存储到所述第三设备中的,也可以是所述第一设备或其他设备在执行第一意图的方案时检测并发送给所述第三设备的。
其中,所述系统管理者可以通过如下方法将所述第二信息存储到所述第三设备中:所述系统管理者向所述第三设备发送意图知识更新请求。其中,所述意图知识更新请求可以包括用于指示执行方案或方案中的操作时KPI的偏移的信息。例如,该信息指示减少能耗10%,提高吞吐率15%。又例如,该信息指示增加能耗15%,降低吞吐率10%。所述第三设备在根据所述意图知识更新请求更新数据库之后,可以向所述系统管理者发送意图知识更新响应,以指示更新完成。
A2:所述第一设备接收来自第四设备的用于指示所述至少一个KPI的当前值的第三信息。
其中,所述第四设备可以为DCCF。
A3:所述第一设备根据所述第二信息和所述第三信息,确定所述第一信息。
在一些可能的实现方式中,当所述第一信息包括用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值的信息时,所述第一设备可以根据所述第二信息和所述第三信息确定用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值,从而确定出所述第一信息。
具体的,所述第一设备可以根据第二信息确定执行第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移,根据第三信息确定所述至少一个KPI的当前值;然后,所述第一设备可以根据执行第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移以及所述至少一个KPI的当前值,计算出执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值。
例如,当所述第三信息指示吞吐率的当前值为10千比特每秒(kps),所述第二信息指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述吞吐率的偏移为-2kps时,执行所述第一意图的方案时所述吞吐率的值为8kps。
又例如,当所述第三信息指示吞吐率的当前值为10kps,所述第二信息指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述吞吐率的偏移为-10%时,执行所述第一意图的方案时所述吞吐率的值为9kps。
可选的,当所述第二信息用于指示执行第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI的偏移时,所述第一设备对执行第一意图的方案中的至少一个操作时所述至少一个KPI的偏移进行加权运算,从而确定出执行第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移。
在另一些可能的实现方式中,当所述第一信息包括:用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移的信息,以及用于指示所述至少一个KPI的当前值的信息时,所述第一设备可以确定所述第一信息包括所述第二信息和所述第三信息。
通过该实现方式一,所述第二设备可以在意图创建时为所述第一设备提供针对所述第一意图的执行建议。该执行建议可以是所述第二设备根据执行所述第一意图的方案时对所述至少一个KPI的影响来确定的,这样,在意图创建时就可以避免执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI不满足所述第二设备对执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求,进而可以保证所述执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络的性能。
实现方式二:所述第一设备可以在执行所述第一意图的方案时,向所述第二设备发送所述第一信息。
其中,所述第一信息可以包括:用于指示执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值的信息。
其中,执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值可以为:所述第一设备在执行所述第一意图的方案时检测到的所述至少一个KPI的值。
通过该实现方式二,所述第一设备可以检测执行第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI的值,并将检测到的所述至少一个KPI的值发送给第二设备。这样,所述第二设备可以根据检测到的所述至少一个KPI的值,确定针对所述第一意图的执行建议,从而可以避免执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI不满足所述第二设备对执行所述第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求,进而可以保证所述执行第一意图的设备所在网络的性能。
可选的,在上述实施例的一种实施场景中,在S301之前,上述方法还包括:
S300:所述第二设备向所述第一设备发送用于指示所述至少一个KPI的信息。相应的,所述第一设备接收来自所述第二设备的用于指示所述至少一个KPI的信息。
可选的,用于指示所述至少一个KPI的信息包括以下至少一项:
所述至少一个KPI;

可选的,所述用于指示所述至少一个KPI的信息可以承载在现有的消息(例如,意图创建请求或意图修改请求)中,也可以承载在新的消息中,本申请对此不做限定。
通过该方法,所述第一设备可以仅向所述第二设备反馈执行所述第一意图的方案对用于指示所述至少一个KPI的信息所指示的至少一个KPI的影响,无需反馈执行所述第一意图的方案对所有KPI的影响,从而可以节约传输资源。
可选的,在S302之前,所述第二设备可以通过以下方法确定所述执行建议。
B1:所述第二设备根据所述第一信息确定执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的影响。
其中,执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的影响可以为执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的值。
B2:所述第二设备根据执行第一意图的方案时对至少一个KPI的值是否满足第一条件,确定所述执行建议。
其中,所述第一条件为所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件(即所述第二设备对执行意图方案的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求)。
可选的,所述第二设备可以通过以下方式获取所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件。其中,所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件可以是所述至少一个KPI的取值范围。
方式1:所述第二设备通过第二意图获取所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件。
具体的,当所述第二意图的意图表达式中包含能够指示目标值的信息时,该目标值可以用于体现所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件。例如,当所述第二意图为保障吞吐率大于或等于10kps时,吞吐率的目标值为大于或等于10kps,吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps。又例如,当所述第二意图为时延<5ms时,时延的目标值为小于5ms,时延应满足的条件为小于5ms。
方式2:所述第二设备可以根据网络配置获取所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件。
例如,当网络为设备配置带宽利用率不小于10%时,带宽利用率应满足的条件为不小于10%。
可选的,B2可以通过以下方法实现:
可选的,当所述第一意图的方案中存在满足第二条件的方案时,所述第二设备从满足第二条件的方案中选择用于满足所述第一意图的第一方案,并据此确定所述执行建议为执行所述第一意图的第一方案。其中,所述第二条件为:执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI满足所述第一条件。
例如,所述第一意图的方案包括方案1和方案2,所述至少一个KPI为吞吐率。当执行方案1时吞吐率的值为8kps,执行方案2时吞吐率的值为10kps,吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps时,所述第二设备可以确定执行建议为执行所述第一意图的方案2。
其中,当所述第一意图的方案中存在满足第二条件的多个方案时,所述第二设备可以从所述多个方案中随机选择一个方案(即所述第一方案),或者,所述第二设备根据预定策略(例如,选择时延最小的方案或能耗最小的方案)从所述多个方案中选择一个方案(即所述第一方案)。
可选的,当所述第一意图的方案中不存在满足第二条件的方案时,所述第二设备可以 确定所述执行建议为停止执行所述第一意图。其中,所述第二条件为:执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI满足所述第一条件。
例如,所述第一意图的方案包括方案a和方案b,所述至少一个KPI为吞吐率。当执行方案a时吞吐率的值为8kps,执行方案b时吞吐率的值为9kps,吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps时,所述第二设备可以确定执行建议为停止执行所述第一意图。
可选的,当所述第一意图的方案中不存在满足第二条件的方案时,所述第二设备可以通过以下方法至少一项确定所述执行建议为执行所述第一意图的第一方案:从所述第一意图的方案中,选择第一KPI的数量最少的方案(即第一方案);从所述第一意图的方案中,选择第三意图的数量最少的方案(即第一方案);从所述第一意图的方案中,选择执行所述第一意图的方案时第一KPI与所述第一KPI应满足的条件之间的差距最小的方案(即第一方案)。其中,所述第二条件为:执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI满足所述第一条件;执行所述第一意图的方案时所述第一KPI不满足所述第一KPI应满足的条件;所述第三意图为与所述第一KPI关联的意图。
例如,所述第一意图的方案包括方案3和方案4,所述至少一个KPI为吞吐率和时延。执行方案3时吞吐率的值为8kps,时延为6ms;执行方案4时吞吐率的值为9kps,时延为4ms;吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps,时延应满足的条件为小于5ms。此时,执行方案3时所述第一KPI包括吞吐率和时延,执行方案4时所述第一KPI包括吞吐率。因此,所述第二设备可以选择第一KPI的数量最少的方案(即方案4),从而确定执行建议为执行所述第一意图的方案4。
又例如,所述第一意图的方案包括方案5和方案6,所述至少一个KPI为吞吐率和时延。执行方案5时吞吐率的值为8kps,时延为6ms;执行方案6时吞吐率的值为9kps,时延为4ms;吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps,时延应满足的条件为小于5ms。此时,执行方案5时所述第一KPI包括吞吐率和时延,执行方案6时所述第一KPI包括吞吐率。吞吐率与意图1有关,时延与意图2有关;因此,执行方案5时所述第三意图包括意图1和意图2,执行方案6时所述第三意图包括意图1。所述第二设备可以选择第三意图的数量最少的方案(即方案6),从而确定执行建议为执行所述第一意图的方案6。
再例如,所述第一意图的方案包括方案7和方案8,所述至少一个KPI为吞吐率和时延。执行方案7时吞吐率的值为8kps,时延为3ms;执行方案8时吞吐率的值为9kps,时延为4ms;吞吐率应满足的条件为大于或等于10kps,时延应满足的条件为小于5ms。此时,执行方案7时所述第一KPI吞吐率与其应满足的条件之间的差距为-2kps,执行方案8时所述第一KPI吞吐率与其应满足的条件之间的差距为-1kps。因此,所述第二设备可以确定执行建议为执行所述第一意图的方案8。
通过该方法,所述第二设备可以根据执行所述第一意图的方案时对所述至少一个KPI的影响,确定针对所述第一意图的执行建议。例如,所述第二设备可以选择能够满足所述第二设备对执行第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求(即所述至少一个KPI应满足的条件)的方案,并建议所述第一设备选择该方案。因此,通过该方法,可以避免执行所述第一意图的方案时所述至少一个KPI不满足所述第二设备对执行第一意图的设备所在网络中所述至少一个KPI的需求,进而可以保证执行所述第一意图的设备所在的网络的性能。
可选的,在上述实施例的一种实施场景中,在所述第一设备执行所述第一方案之后,所述方法还包括:所述第一设备向KM发送用于指示执行所述第一方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移的信息。
其中,执行所述第一方案时所述至少一个KPI的偏移可以是所述第一设备在执行所述第一方案时检测到的。
