下面首先对本申请涉及的通信名词进行说明。
(1)5G网络数据分析服务
请参考图2和图3,网络数据分析功能(Network Data Analytics Function,NWDAF)是第五代移动通信技术(5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,5G)核心网控制面(5G Core,5GC)网络功能之一,根据不同目的与不同的实体进行交互:
基于接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)、策略控制功能实体(Policy Control Function,PCF)、统一数据管理实体(Unified Data Management,UDM)、应用功能(Application Function,AF)(直接或通过网络开放功能(Network Exposure Function,NEF))或操作管理维护(Operation Administration Maintenance,OAM)提供的事件订阅来收集数据;
使用数据收集协调功能(Data Collection Coordination Function,DCCF)进行分析和数据收集;
从数据存储库检索信息(例如通过UDM检索用户相关信息的用户所需请求(User Desired Requirement,UDR));
从分析数据存储功能(Analytics Data Repository Function,ADRF)存储和检索信息;
从消息传递框架适配器功能(Messaging Framework Adaptor Function,MFAF)分析和数据收集;
检索有关网络功能实体(Network Function,NFs)的信息(例如,从NF存储功能(NF Repository Function,NRF)检索与NFs相关的信息);
根据需求向消费者提供分析;
向消费者提供大量数据。
虽然5G核心网控制面NWDAF支持基于核心网控制面(Control Plane,CP)数据的数据分析,以及可选的通过DCCF进行分析和数据收集,但是其功能仅限于5G核心网控制面网络功能所提供的订阅事件,并不支持核心网用户面、无线接入网和UE的数据收集。并且,现有网络尚不支持实时数据订阅和服务,一方面接口性能和功能设计不支持,另一方面是因未标准化数据服务相关的功能导致网元设备并未考虑这部分开销,因此大量实时数据上报会影响网络性能。
(2)5G O-RAN网络架构
如图4所示,相比于现有5G无线接入网络架构和功能,开放式无线接入网(Open Radio Access Network,O-RAN)提出了无线智能控制器(RAN intelligence controller,RIC),包括非实时(Non-Real time)无线智能控制器和近实时无线智能控制器。从管理面看,在服务管理和编排系统中增加了非实时无线智能控制器,通过A1接口与近实时无线智能控制器交互发送策略和辅助信息等。从网络功能看,引入了近实时无线智能控制器,通过E2接口与基站(如gNB或eNB等)或基站子系统(部分基带功能,如集中单元(Centralized Unit,CU)-CP(集中单元-控制面)、CU-用户面(User Plane,UP)(集中单元-用户面)或分布单元(Distributed Unit,DU))相连,可采集数据,发送策略和控制信息等。
O-RAN的无线智能控制器是第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)5G协议标准外挂的智能化功能,虽然在O-RAN标准中将近实时无线智能控制器定义为网络功能,但是其可与多个 gNB/gNB-CU/gNB-CU-CP/eNB连接,对CN和UE透明,因此其逻辑连接关系更类似于网管功能。并且,近实时无线智能控制器目前侧重于网络侧的数据分析应用,无法支持对网络外部功能提供数据收集和分析服务。因为范畴属于无线侧,对于UE级的数据无法支持持久化数据的UE身份标识符号(Identity,ID)关联问题。另外,无线侧网络设备的资源更为稀缺,因此现有基站设备尚不能支持在业务负荷较高时上报大量近实时或实时数据。
(3)5G UE能力定义和上报方案
根据38.822UE特征(feature)的定义,一部分强制性特征(mandatory feature)是不需要UE能力(capability)信令交互。在强制性特征基础上如果网络需要知道其他UE能力信息,根据38.331的定义,如图5所示,网络(Network)可以向UE发送UE能力请求(UECapabilityEnquiry),UE基于请求消息上报对应的UE能力信息(UECapabilityInformation)。UE能力在38.306定义,目前UE能力以无线接入各个协议层(业务数据适应协议(Service Data Adaption Protocol,SDAP)/分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)/无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)/媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)/物理层(Physical Layer,PHY))为主。
现有协议UE feature和UE能力的定义,以及UE能力上报方案均未考虑目标面相关的内容,在引入目标面后需要考虑。
下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力上报、获取方法及设备进行详细地说明。
请参考图6,本申请实施例提供一种网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力上报方法,包括:
步骤61:第一网络功能实例或网元上报所述第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息,所述目标面是用于支持数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理中的至少一项的协议功能面。
网络功能实例,是指网络中采用的3GPP或3GPP定义的处理模块,具有定义的功能行为和3GPP定义的接口,网络功能可以实现为专用硬件上的网元、专用硬件上运行的软件实例或者在适当平台(如云基础设施)上实例化的虚拟化功能。网络功能实例由能够运行该网络功能的软件和/或硬件实现。
网元是指网络中的一个离散的电信实体,可通过特定接口进行管理。
本申请实施例中,目标面的能力包括网络功能实例或网元进行目标面的控制信息和/或数据信息的交互的能力。目标面的控制信息包括目标面的连接建立、数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理等功能中的一项或多项的配置信息,目标面的数据信息包括上述功能执行时所需的数据。
本申请中,以目标面作为在控制面(CP,control plane)和用户面(UP,user plane)基础上新增的用于支持数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理中的至少一项的协议功能面。目标面也可能称为数据面。
本申请实施例中,目标面可用于网络优化,提升网络效率和用户体验;也可以用于实现高服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)保障的6G新增的应用服务(如感知、计算等);也可以为用户提供数据锚点,满足用户的数据变现和数据安全要求。对于每个网络功能实例或网元,根据其软硬件设计功能和运营商意愿考虑,目标面特征和能力定义应能满足运营商对数据面的需求,又能够降低设备商的软硬件设计成本,因此需支持软硬件设计的多种情况和各情况的不同组合。
在本申请实施例中,网络功能实例或网元上报目标面能力信息,目标面是用于支持数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理中的至少一项的协议功能面,从而实现端到端网络功能的数据收集和使用。
本申请实施例中,可选的,所述目标面能力信息包括以下至少一项:
1)指示所述第一网络功能实例或网元是否支持目标面的信息;
2)指示所述第一网络功能实例或网元支持对网络内部功能提供数据,和/或,对网络外部功能提供数据的信息;
其中所述数据包括:第一网络功能实例或网元自身可产生的数据,和/或,接收其它功能的数据;网络内部功能和/或网络外部还可基于安全等级或安全域进一步进行细化的能力定义。例如支持网络外部安全等级为A的网络功能。
3)指示所述目标面能力为静态能力或动态能力的信息;
本申请实施例中,静态能力表示所述目标面能力为静态的,不动态调整,例如静态能力可以是第一网络功能实例或网元可以支持的最大目标面能力或最小目标面能力,该能力可以是第一网络功能实例或网元根据自身硬件设计和/或资源分配等设置的,一种最小能力的定义是指在满足通信服务等峰值性能(峰值吞吐量和/或峰值用户数等)情况或高负荷时所支持的目标面能力情况;一种最大能力的定义是指目标面优先时或低负荷时所能支持的目标面能力。
动态能力表示所述目标面的能力为动态的,可动态调整,例如动态能力随着第一网络功能实例或网元通信负载的轻重而动态调整更新。一种动态能力的定义方式是根据目标面的需求选择关键的一个或多个目标面能力参数(如存储大小、速率、订阅数据项)作为目标面所关注的能力信息,如果发生变化或者变化满足某一条件时,则认为目标面能力发生了动态变化。另一种动态能力的定义方式是根据通信负载(用户面和/或控制面的相关参数)和/或目标面负载定义一种或多种通信能力和/或目标面能力的组合,进一步可将上述组合,根据目标面能力的情况分为一个或多个等级。
当目标面能力为静态能力时,第一网络功能实例或网元上报或网络查询了对应的目标面能力信息,相应的目标面能力信息不变。当目标面能力包括静态能力和动态能力时,通常以最大或最小目标面能力做为目标面能力的上限或下限,根据影响因素而动态决策其当前的能力情况。
上述实施列中与用户面和/或控制面的相关参数(激活用户数、上行吞吐量、下行吞吐量、上行利用率(如物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH RB)利用率)、下行利用率(如物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)/物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)资源块(Resource Block,RB)利用率)、无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接数、协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话(session)平均流量或无线承载(如Data Radio Bearer,DRB)平均流程、感知服务/任务数、计算服务/任务数)关联的目标面能力定义方式,潜在的优势是现有通信流程中第一网络功能实例或网元的用户面和/或控制面的相关参数可由通信测量量或网管进行收集,因此目标面可向对应 的网络功能和/或网管功能查询用户面和/或控制面的相关参数,基于用户面和/或控制面的相关参数可知道第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力。
本申请实施例中,如果第一网络功能实例或网元目标面动态能力的定义是通过其用户面和/或控制面关键参数的数值或数值区间与目标面的动态能力联合定义,所述第一网络功能实例或网元目标面动态能力信息,目标面的网络功能(如第一目标面网络功能实例或第二目标面网络功能实例)可向网络管理功能或其他网络功能查询所述与目标面动态能力联合定义的用户面和/或控制面关键参数值,基于联合定义信息进而获得目标面能力信息。其中联合定义的方式可以是将用户面和/或控制面关键参数的不同数值或数值区间定义为不同的通信能力等级,然后目标面的能力等级和通信能力等级有映射关系。例如基于上下行物理资源模块(Physical Resource Block,PRB)利用率、RRC连接态用户数、和上下行速度等信息将第一网络功能实例或网元通信能力状态定义为高、中和底三个等级,对应着第一网络功能实例或网元三个目标面能力,示例如下表所示。目标面网络功能实例查询该第一网络功能实例或网元当前通信能力状态的参数数值或等级信息,进而获得终端目标面的当前能力等级。
4)支持的目标面能力上报方式;
本申请实施例中,可选的,目标面能力上报方式可以包括以下至少一项:能力更新主动上报,基于目标面网络功能实例配置变化条件满足变化条件上报,目标面网络功能实例查询上报。
5)指示是否支持目标面网络功能实例配置的目标面能力上报方式的信息;
本申请实施例中,可选的,如果不支持目标面网络功能实例配置的目标面能力上报方式,则根据所支持的默认的目标面能力上报方式进行更新;如 果支持目标面网络功能实例配置的目标面能力上报方式,则根据目标面网络功能实例配置的目标面能力上报方式进行更新。
6)支持的目标面数据上报模式;
本申请实施例中,可选的,目标面数据上报模式包括:订阅上报和/或默认数据收集上报等。其中订阅上报指第一网络功能实例或网元与目标面网络功能实例之间通过交互确定所需上报的数据和/或测量或上报条件等,在此基础上进行数据上报。默认数据收集上报指通过第一网络功能实例或网元与目标面网络功能实例之间的预先约定的数据收集项,第一网络功能实例或网元默认进行所约定数据的上报。
7)支持的目标面的状态,所述状态包括开启状态和禁止状态;
本申请实施例中,可选的,对于开启状态可以进一步基于多个能力等级来细化开启状态的定义。
8)指示是否支持所述目标面数据的存储,或指示是否支持所述目标面数据的持久化的信息;
9)所述目标面支持的数据类型;
本申请实施例中,可选的,目标面支持的数据类型包括以下至少一项:通信数据、感知数据、算力数据、人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)数据、用户签约数据、网络运营数据、数字孪生数据。
10)支持的目标面的传输方向;
本申请实施例中,可选的,支持的目标面的传输方向包括上行和/或下行。通常目标面的控制信息交互能力是既有上行又有下行的。对于目标面的数据交互能力,如果支持上行,那么意味着该第一网络功能实例或网元支持目标面的数据上报;如果支持下行,那么意味着该第一网络功能实例或网元支持目标面数据的接收。
例如,面向通信数据上报可以是提供通信服务质量优化所需的通信测量数据,面向感知数据上报可以是提供感知所需的感知测量量,面向计算或AI数据上报可以是提供计算所需的计算输入和/或输出数据,面向通信数据接收可以是第一网络功能实例或网元本地通信决策所需的数据信息,面向感知数据接收可以是接收本地感知或决策所需的感知测量量或感知结果,面向计算 数据接收可以是接收计算的输入和/或输出数据。
11)支持的目标面最大数据上行速率;
支持的目标面最大数据上行速率,也可以表述为支持的最大数据收集速率或最大上报速率。为了避免该项的连续数据范围过大,表示困难,可以将不同速率范围定义为速率的不同等级,那么此项仅需要给出等级信息,提高表示效率。
12)支持的目标面最大数据下行速率;
该项也可以表述为支持的最大数据使用速率或最大数据分发速率或最大接收速率。同样的,也可以将不同速率范围定义为速率的不同等级,那么此项仅需要给出等级信息,提高表示效率。
13)所述目标面的总缓存区大小;
该项可以是所有协议层的总缓存区大小,也可以是分层的总缓存区大小,例如Layer-2(层2)总缓存区大小和/或layer-3(层3)总缓存区大小。
14)支持的目标面网络功能;
目标面功能可以包括数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理中的至少一项。
15)支持的最大数据收集项数量;
因为数据收集需对应的硬件资源和软件处理支持,故此项用于指示可以同时支持的最大的数据收集项,例如最大同时支持参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,RSRP)和参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Received Quality,RSRQ)2项数据收集。此项可以是对于所有数据而言,所能支持的最大数据收集项数量。当对数据进行分类或者分等级定义时,此项也可以表示为对于某一类或某个等级的数据,所支持的最大数据收集项数量。
16)支持的ID序号大小;
例如通常在数据收集配置时,会对第一网络功能实例或网元发送数据收集订阅ID,该ID序号的长度,可以用多少个比特表示;当第一网络功能实例或网元需要使用目标面提供的数据时,也有对应的数据接收订阅ID。
17)支持的数据收集的最小时间颗粒度;
指示第一网络功能实例或网元能够采集的数据的最小时间颗粒度,例如对于RSRP,最小时间颗粒度是每个传输时间间隔(Transmission Time Interval,TTI)。
18)支持的数据上报的最小时间颗粒度;
当目标面所需的数据收集后,第一网络功能实例或网元能够支持最快多久上报一次。基站可基于此项能力信息,对UE的数据收集进行配置和调度目标面的资源。
19)支持的单个目标面报文的最大长度。
该报文可以面向数据上报和/或数据接收。

下面结合具体应用场景,对本申请的上述方法进行举例说明。
本申请实施例一:一种基于网络功能实例间接口的目标面能力上报方案
本申请实施例提供了一种基于无线接入网节点和核心网接口建立流程的网络功能实例或网元目标面能力上报方案,如图9所示,第一目标面网络功能实例为核心网用于支持数据收集、数据分发、数据安全、数据隐私、数据分析和数据预处理中任意一项或多项的网络功能,相关步骤简述如下:
步骤1:无线接入网络节点(RAN-node)(即无线接入网中的第一网络功能实例或网元)与AMF建立回传(backhaul)接口时,注册请求消息中携带第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息。
步骤2:第一目标面网络功能实例根据外部数据请求和/或内部功能决策所选择的第一网络功能实例或网元(即上述无线接入网络节点);
步骤3:第一目标面网络功能实例向AMF(即第二网络功能实例)请求该第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力。
步骤4:AMF向第一目标面网络功能实例发送该第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息。
如果上述第一目标面网络功能实例替换为无线接入网的第二目标面网络功能实例,那么对应的接口建立是基站间交互的接口建立(如X2,Xn接口等)。
本申请实施例二:一种基于服务化架构的网络功能实例或网元目标面能力上报+按需查询方案
面向基于服务化的核心网网络功能,或者6G无线接入网也可能向服务化方向演进。在服务化架构中,为了便于发现网络功能实例或网元和维护网络功能实例或网元的描述信息(profile)通常会设置某一网络功能实例负责上述功能。在下面的实施列中将这一网络功能实例称为网络存储功能(Network Repository Function,NRF),相应的,一种网络功能实例或网元目标面能力上报方案简述如下:
步骤1:第一网络功能实例或网元向NRF(即第二网络功能实例)发送第一网络功能实例或网元的描述信息,其中包括第一网络功能实例或网元目标面能力信息。
步骤2:第一目标面网络功能实例根据外部数据请求和/或内部功能决策所选择的第一网络功能实例或网元。
步骤3:第一目标面网络功能实例向NRF请求第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息。
步骤4:NRF向第一目标面网络功能实例发送第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息。
本申请实施例三:一种静态能力和动态能力的上报方案
如前技术方案所述,本申请实施例考虑当第一网络功能实例或网元支持静态能力和/或动态能力时,静态能力和动态能力的上报方案。例如静态能力可定义为最大能力和/或最小能力,一种最小能力的定义是指在满足通信服务等峰值性能(峰值吞吐量和/或峰值用户数等)情况或高负荷时所支持的目标 面能力情况;一种最大能力的定义是指目标面优先时或低负荷时所能支持的目标面能力。一种动态能力的定义方式是根据目标面的需求选择关键的一个或多个目标面能力参数(如存储大小、速率、订阅数据项)作为目标面所关注的能力信息,如果发生变化或者变化满足某一条件时,则认为目标面能力发生了动态变化。另一种动态能力的定义方式是根据通信负载(用户面和/或控制面的相关参数)和/或目标面负载定义一种或多种通信能力和/或目标面能力的组合,进一步可将上述组合,根据目标面能力的情况分为一个或多个等级。
上述实施列中与用户面和/或控制面的相关参数(激活用户数、上行吞吐量、下行吞吐量、上行利用率(如PUSCH RB利用率)、下行利用率(如PDSCH/PDCCH RB利用率)、RRC连接数、PDU session平均流量或无线承载(如DRB)平均流程、感知服务/任务数、计算服务/任务数)关联的目标面能力定义方式,潜在的优势是现有通信流程中第一网络功能实例或网元的用户面和/或控制面的相关参数可由通信测量量或网管进行收集,因此目标面可向对应的网络功能和/或网管功能查询用户面和/或控制面的相关参数,基于用户面和/或控制面的相关参数可知道第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力。
本申请实施例中,如果第一网络功能实例或网元目标面动态能力的定义是通过其用户面和/或控制面关键参数的数值或数值区间与目标面的动态能力联合定义,所述第一网络功能实例或网元目标面动态能力信息,目标面的网络功能(如第一目标面网络功能实例或第二目标面网络功能实例)可向网络管理功能或其他网络功能查询所述与目标面动态能力联合定义的用户面和/或控制面关键参数值,基于联合定义信息进而获得目标面能力信息。其中联合定义的方式可以是将用户面和/或控制面关键参数的不同数值或数值区间定义为不同的通信能力等级,然后目标面的能力等级和通信能力等级有映射关系。例如基于上下行PRB利用率、RRC连接态用户数、和上下行速度等信息将第一网络功能实例或网元通信能力状态定义为高、中和底三个等级,对应着第一网络功能实例或网元三个目标面能力,示例如下表所示。目标面网络功能实例查询该第一网络功能实例或网元当前通信能力状态的参数数值或 等级信息,进而获得终端目标面的当前能力等级。
本申请实施例中,目标面能力更新条件可以是如下一种或多种:
1)所述第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力的等级发生变化;
本申请实施例中,可以根据目标面能力的参数和/或数值范围等将目标面能力定义为多个等级,当能力从某个等级变化至另一个等级时,则需要进行更新;
2)目标面网络功能实例配置的所述第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力的参数和/或数值范围满足预设条件。
例如目标面网络功能实例配置目标面总缓存区大小(total buffer size)小于A时更新能力。
如果第一网络功能实例或网元目标面能力发生变化,更新方式可以采用如下潜在的更新方法:
1)第一网络功能实例或网元向NRF更新所述第一网络功能实例或网元的描述信息,所述描述信息中包括所述第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息;其中,NRF用于维护网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息;目标面网络功能实例向NRF订阅某一个或多个网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息,且NRF接收到上述能力更新信息时,发送给目标面网络功能实例。
2)所述目标面能力的变化影响所述第一网络功能实例或网元正在参与的目标面相关的功能流程时,所述第一网络功能实例或网元向目标面网络功能实例上报所述第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息,而不经NRF或其他网络功能中转,这一方式有助于目标面更快根据更新情况作出调整;
3)如果目标面功能向该第一网络功能实例或网元或NRF或其他网络功能(如AMF)请求该第一网络功能实例或网元的目标面能力信息时,对应功能发送对应的目标面能力信息。
请参考图10,当第一网络功能实例或网元既支持动态能力又支持静态能力,并且支持多种更新方式,且更新方式可配置的情况下,一种目标面能力上报方案的相关步骤简述如下:
步骤1:第一网络功能实例或网元建立接口连接时向NRF上报静态能力,其中静态能力可以为最大能力和/或最小能力,目标面网络功能实例可以是第一目标面网络功能实例和/或第二目标面网络功能实例和/或第三目标面网络功能实例。第一目标面网络功能实例为核心网目标面网络功能实例;第二目标面网络功能实例为无线接入网目标面网络功能实例,第三目标面网络功能实例为UE目标面网络功能实例。
步骤2:目标面网络功能实例根据静态能力和/或其他信息决策第一网络功能实例或网元目标面能力上报/更新的方式。
步骤3:目标面网络功能实例发送模式配置和/或条件,其中模式配置可配置为变化主动上报、配置条件上报和查询上报中的一种或多种,条件是目标面能力变化的条件,例如基于等级的能力变化、关键能力参数和/或阈值等。
步骤4:第一网络功能实例或网元和目标面功能根据步骤3的信息和/或其它信息进行动态能力上报/更新。
本申请实施例中,第一网络功能实例或网元设计时可根据目标运营商需求和/或硬件成本等按需支持目标面功能。并且,当网络功能支持目标面时,可通过动态能力方式与通信等其他处理共享硬件资源,当使用与用户面和/或控制面的相关参数相关的动态能力时,可基于用户面和/或控制面的相关参数映射,节省了动态能力更新的开销。
