首先对非确定性通信业务保障的过程进行介绍。
请参阅图1，图1为本申请实施例提供的一种进行通信业务保障方法的流程图，如图1所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
1.NSMF消费者向NSMF实体发送通信业务需求。
进行通信业务保障的网络架构由网络切片管理功能(network slice management function,NSMF)消费者(consumer)，NSMF实体，指配管理实体(provisioning management entity)以及被管理对象组成。
其中NSMF消费者例如可以为行业垂直租户使用的需求输入模块等，是一种提交网络切片需求的实体。NSMF实体用于接收网络切片需求，将接收到的网络切片需求转化为网络切片子网需求，并将网络切片子网需求发送至网络切片子网管理功能(network slice subnet management function,NSSMF)。被管理对象具体可以包括以下一种或多种：网络切片(network slice)，无线接入网(wireless access network,RAN)网元，核心网(core network,CN)网元，传输网(transmission network，TN)网元，RAN网络切片子网，CN网络切片子网，TN网络切片子网等，其中网络切片是指CN网络切片子网，RAN网络切片子网和/或TN网络切片子网的组合。
在一些情况下，该网络架构中还包括指配管理实体，用于接收NSMF实体发送的网络功能配置或配置需求指示信息，根据这些需求生成被管理对象的配置信息，并将配置信息发送对应的被管理对象，以使得对被管理对象根据配置信息进行自身的配置。
通信业务需求可以是服务水平规格(service level specification,SLS)或服务质量(quality of service,QoS)需求。其中SLS指服务水平协议(service level agreement,SLA)中相关的技术指标规格。QoS是为指定的网络通信提供更好的服务能力，用来解决网络延迟和阻塞等问题的一种技术。需要说明的是，通信业务需求是指SLS或QoS等需求信息通过服务网络切片业务描述模板(ServiceProfile)提供给NSMF实体。
2.假设NSMF实体接收到了(网络切片业务描述模板形式的)通信业务需求，则可以分解业务需求，获得每个被管理对象对应的切片业务需求，即为网络切片描述模板(SliceProfile)形式的业务需求。SliceProfile可以包括TopSliceProfile，RANSliceProfile，CNSliceProfile，TNSliceProfile。另外，需求信息可以包含在应用需求模板中，应用需求模板可以被包含在ServiceProfile或各SliceProfile中。将通信业务需求分解为切片业务需求，例如通信业务需求提交的时延需求是小于30s(秒)，则分解得到的切片业务需求可以为：RAN切片子网的时延需求是小于15s，TN切片子网的时延需求是小于5s，CN切片子网的时延需求是小于5s。
3.NSMF实体根据切片业务需求分析或准备网络功能配置或配置需求指示信息。NSMF实体获得每个被管理对象对应的切片业务需求之后，可以根据切片业务需求确定每个被管理对象的网络功能配置。例如为了满足时延需求，一方面需要确保RAN、CN以及TN能够正常传输，另一方面对带宽也有需求，因此网络功能配置可以包括连接配置和带宽配置。
4.NSMF实体将确定的网络功能配置发送给被管理对象，或者NSFM将确定的网络功能配置发送给指配管理实体，由指配管理实体转发给被管理对象。
5.被管理对象向指配管理实体或NSMF实体发送配置响应消息。被管理对象根据接收到的网络功能配置信息进行自身的网络功能的配置。完成配置后，向NSMF实体反馈配置响应消息，或者向指配管理实体反馈配置响应消息，再由指配管理实体向NSMF实体转发该配置响应消息。配置响应消息用于反馈是否配置成功，或者自身实际的功能配置等。
6.NSMF实体向NSMF消费者发送通信业务需求处理响应消息。同样的，NSMF实体向NSMF消费者发送的通信业务需求处理响应消息，可以是直接转发的被管理对象发送的配置响应消息，也可以是NSMF对接收到的配置响应消息进行进一步解读和包装处理后，再向NSMF消费者发送的通信业务需求处理响应消息。
针对传统的通信业务，例如尽力而为的通信业务，具体包括视频下载，网页刷新等，其目的是尽最大可能实现通信过程。因此其对通信过程的需求参数精确度要求较低。主要用于满足连接需求或带宽需求。但是针对确定性通信业务，其与传统通信业务由于通信要求不同，进行通信业务保障所需要获得的网络能力也不同，上述过程并不足以为确定性通信业务提供业务保障。
基于此，请参阅图2，图2为本申请实施例提供的一种通信业务保障方法流程图，用于保障确定性通信业务的执行，如图2所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
201、通信业务保障管理功能实体从通信业务消费功能实体获取确定性通信业务的需求信息；
需求信息包括时延需求和可靠性需求，其中时延需求用于指示确定性通信业务的各数据包的传输时间在预设时间阈值内，可靠性需求用于指示确定性通信业务的丢包率在预设范围内。传输时间指数据包从发送端发出到接收端接收所需的时间。
通信业务保障管理功能实体是指用于进行确定性通信业务的通信业务保障的管理面实体，该实体可以是一个独立的实体，也可以与NSMF实体为组合实体，也即通信业务保障管理功能实体是NSMF实体的一个功能模块。通信业务保障管理功能实体还支持分布式部署，例如分为中心通信业务保障功能实体和分布式通信业务保障功能实体，前者位于跨域管理层，例如可以涵盖RAN域管理、CN域管理、TN域管理中的两个或以上的管理范围，后者位于单域管理层，例如仅能涵盖RAN域管理或CN域管理或TN域管理或各域管理的一部分。通信业务保障管理功能实体支持分布式部署时，负责跨域管理的实体可以与NSMF合设，负责单域管理的实体与RAN NSSMF和/或CN NSSMF和/或TN NSSMF合设。
通信业务消费功能实体(consumer)例如可以为其他管理功能实体，如NSMF，或者为NSMF的消费者，如垂直行业租户使用的需求输入模块等，是向通信业务保障管理功能实体提交网络切片需求的实体。通信业务消费功能实体和通信业务保障管理功能实体可以通过服务化管理接口进行通信连接，具体例如可以通过HTTP2传递消息。
在通信业务消费功能实体需要创建或修改支持确定性通信业务的网络切片时，具体例如垂直行业租户需要从供应商获取网络切片服务用于支持垂直行业租户的园区工业控制应用时，可以向通信业务保障管理功能实体发送确定性通信业务的需求信息。
通信业务保障管理功能实体接收的确定性通信业务的需求信息，该需求信息包括时延需求和可靠性需求，并且时延需求用于指示确定性通信业务的各数据包从发送端发出到接收端接收的时间差在预设时间阈值内。可靠性需求用于指示确定性通信业务的丢包率在预设范围内。可能的情况下，丢包率可以是指一个完整的通信业务过程的丢包率。例如一个通信业务总共需要发送100个数据包，传输过程中任意丢失其中一个数据包，则该通信业务的丢包率为1％。或者，丢包率也可以指当前丢失数据包占用当前通信业务已发送数据包的比例，例如当前数据包丢包，前面已经成功发送19个数据包，则丢包率为1/(19+1)＝5％。
确定性通信业务对时延需求和可靠性需求的精确度要求高，时延大于预设阈值的数据包可能会造成后续数据包无法按时到达接收端，丢包率大于预设范围可能会导致业务无法顺利执行。假设预设时间阈值为200ms(毫秒)，即每个数据包的传输时延必须满足小于200ms。预设范围例如为0.01％，即是说通信业务的丢包率必须满足小于0.01％。例如当确定性通信业务数据包1的传输时延大于200ms，且此时通信业务的丢包率为0，那么可以丢弃数据包1，通信业务丢包率为0.001％，此时丢包率小于0.01％，可以继续通信业务。而当数据包2的传输时延大于200ms，此时丢弃数据包2，通信业务丢包率达到0.02％，此时丢包率不在预设范围内，通信业务无法继续。
在一些情况下，确定性通信业务包括周期性确定性通信业务和非周期性确定性通信业务，在确定性通信业务为周期性确定性通信业务的情况下，时延需求还用于指示各数据包的时延抖动在第二预设时间阈值内，也即是说，不同周期内的确定性通信业务的时延差值需要处于稳定的范围内。例如前一个周期T1内，各数据包的传输时延为30ms，假设第二预设时间阈值为±5ms，则后一个周期T2内，各数据包的传输时延需要在25ms～35ms之间。
为了保障确定性通信业务的顺利进行，时延需求和可靠性需求需要同时被满足。
可能的情况下，在从通信业务消费功能实体获取确定性通信业务的需求信息之前，方法还包括：从通信业务消费功能实体获取进行确定性通信业务的保障意图；从通信业务消费功能实体获取确定性通信业务的需求信息，包括：根据从通信业务消费功能实体获取的确定性通信业务的保障意图生成确定性通信业务的需求信息。
如前述实施例描述的，需求信息可以通过服务网络切片业务描述模板提供，而没有通过这种方式提供的需求信息可以被称为通信业务保障意图。通信业务保障管理功能实体获取到通信业务保障意图之后，可以将其组装成服务网络切片业务描述模板，得到通信业务需求。
或者，假设通信业务保障管理功能实体从多个应用实体获得多个应用的需求信息，即采用应用需求模板(AppProfile)的方式提交，也可以将应用需求模板进行组装，获得服务网络切片业务描述模板形式的需求信息。
本申请实施例中，公开了针对确定性通信业务，其对应的需求信息，需要同时包括时延需求和可靠性需求，这将极大地体现确定性通信业务的特性，也将有利于通信业务保障管理功能实体判断当前是否为确定性通信业务，进而便于进行后续确定网络功能配置的过程。
202、通信业务保障管理功能实体根据需求信息确定网络功能配置信息，网络功能配置信息包括网络功能配置或配置需求指示信息，网络功能配置或配置需求指示信息用于使得被管理对象获得支持确定性通信业务的需求信息的网络能力。
通信业务保障管理功能实体得到需求信息之后，可以根据需求信息确定确定性通信业务的网络功能配置。根据前述描述可知，网络功能(被管理对象)包括多个NSSMF，那么可以先将需求信息划分成多个切片需求，再根据切片需求生成对应的网络功能配置。
具体地，由于需求信息包括时延需求和可靠性需求，那么对应地，网络功能配置可以包 括时延相关的网络功能配置和可靠性相关的网络功能配置。而时延相关的网络功能配置又可以按照NSSMF划分为RAN时延相关的网络功能配置，CN时延相关的网络功能配置。具体地，RAN时延相关的网络功能配置可以包括如下一种或多种：子帧长度小于预设阈值，免授权调度，低时延随机接入方式，低时延上行反馈方式，分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol，PDCP)层乱序递交功能，低时延连接切换方法。其中，子帧长度小于预设阈值指子帧长度配置为极短值，预设阈值可以为1ms，子帧长度极短可以提升数据包传输速率，降低数据包传输时延。免授权调度全称为上行免授权调度，是指基站通过激活一次上行授权给终端，在终端不收到去激活的情况下，将会一直使用第一次上行授权所指定资源进行上行数据包传输，而不需要每次发送数据包均进行上行授权。低时延随机接入方式是指预先配置了随机接入资源的方式，以使得随机接入可以用更少的步骤完成。低时延上行反馈方式是指可以在一个时隙内实现多个混合自动冗余重传的反馈传输。低时延连接切换方式是指UE多连接切换方式或者在目标小区预先配置了随机接入资源。在通信业务保障管理功能实体根据需求信息确定RAN时延相关的网络功能配置时，具体可以确定子帧长度需要小于的预设阈值，或者确定是否开启免授权调度、低时延随机接入方式、低时延上行反馈方式、分组PDCP层乱序递交功能、低时延连接切换方法等。
CN时延相关的网络功能配置可以包括如下一种或多种：本地用户面功能(user plane fuction,UPF)配置，多接入边缘计算(multi-access edge computing,MEC)配置，业务连续性策略，其中本地UPF配置是指选择用户所接入小区网络位置距离较近的UPF建立业务会话，MEC配置是指选择用户所接入小区网络位置距离较近的MEC进行业务处理。业务连续性策略是指UE在UPF间的切换策略，例如保持源UPF连接待接入目标UPF成功后再释放源UPF连接等方式。通信业务保障管理功能实体确定CN时延相关的网络功能配置，具体可以是确定是否开启本地UPF配置、MEC配置，是否开启业务连续性策略，以及开启的具体连续性策略等。
可见，在本申请实施例中，根据确定性通信业务的需求信息进行时延相关的网络功能配置，包括RAN时延相关的网络功能配置和CN时延相关的网络配置，主要通过降低通信连接过程中，通信切换过程中，或者数据传输过程中的时延，满足确定性通信业务的低时延需求。
同样的，可靠性相关的网络功能配置也可以分为RAN可靠性相关的网络功能配置和CN可靠性相关的网络功能配置。其中RAN可靠性相关的网络功能配置具体可以包括以下一种或多种：物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)可靠性增强配置，物理层多实习连续传输，PDCP多连接冗余传输，多传输点协作传输，可靠性连接切换方式。其中PDCCH可靠性增强配置是指更精简的PDCCH下行控制信息。物理层多时隙连续传输是指在多个连续的时隙传输数据包的不同冗余版本或相同的冗余版本。PDCP多连接冗余传输是指UE与多个小区发送或接收相同的PDCP数据包。多点传输协作传输是指UE与多个传输接收点进行物理层数据编码块的传输。可靠性连接切换方式是指UE多连接(含双连接)切换方式或条件切换方式等。通信业务保障管理功能实体确定RAN可靠性相关的网络功能配置，具体可以是根据可靠性需求选择以上配置方式的一种或多种。
CN可靠性相关的网络功能配置可以包括UPF多连接冗余传输方法，具体是指UE通过一个或多个UPF建立至少一个冗余的会话连接。
可见，在本申请实施例中，根据确定性通信业务的需求信息进行可靠性相关的网络功能配置，包括RAN可靠性相关的网络功能配置和CN可靠性相关的网络配置，主要通过增加冗余连接点、冗余传输线路以及冗余传输数据包，达成降低丢包率、提升可靠性的效果，进而 满足确定性通信业务的高可靠性需求。
在可能的情况下，可靠性业务的需求信息还可以包括速率需求信息，例如速率平均值、速率最大值、速率最小值、和/或速率保证值；可以包括数据包长度需求信息，例如数据包长度的平均值、长度最大值、和/或长度最小值；还可以包括最大会话数需求信息(即最大业务连接数目)。这些需求信息可以通过带宽配置、网络连接配置等来实现，在本申请实施例中不做过多陈述。
下面采用具体示例来进一步说明通信业务保障管理功能实体根据需求信息确定网络功能配置的过程。
以确定性通信业务为可编程逻辑控制器件(programmable logical controller,PLC)远程控制业务为例：
步骤1：
(1)获取应用的业务类型1：视频监控(针对PLC远程被控制对象的视频回传)、应用的标识信息AppId＝001。应用的业务类型2：PLC控制(针对PLC远程被控制对象的动作/操作控制)、应用的标识信息AppId＝002。

数据包长度需求信息(平均值xxBype)。
最大会话数或连接数需求信息(50个)。
步骤2：
通信业务保障管理功能实体将获取到的需求信息分解到各网络切片子网，获得切片需求信息，具体可以以网络切片描述模板(SliceProfile)形式呈现。其中每个应用的分解之后的需求信息可以通过应用需求模板AppProfile组装后包含在各SliceProfile中。
以PLC远程控制业务为例，以上业务需求分解信息举例如下：
针对视频监控应用：
时延需求信息：传输时间间隔信息(I帧平均时延250ms分解到RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网分别为150ms、50ms、50ms)、生存时间信息(1000ms分解到RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网分别为800ms、100ms、100ms)、时延与可靠性的组合信息(I帧平均时延分解信息如上、抖动20ms、丢包率0.01％均适用于RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网)。

时延需求信息：传输时间间隔信息(30ms分解到RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网分别为20ms、5ms、5ms)、生存时间信息(100ms分解到RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网分别为80ms、10ms、10ms)、时延与可靠性的组合信息(平均时延分解如上、抖动2ms、丢包率0.01％均适用于RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网)。
速率需求信息：速率与可靠性的组合信息(速率平均值100Kbps与丢包率0.01％均适用于RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网)。
数据包长度需求信息(平均值xxBype均适用于RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网)。
最大会话数或连接数需求信息(50个均适用于RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网)。
步骤3：通信业务保障管理功能实体根据需求信息或分解到RAN网络切片子网、CN网络切片子网和TN网络切片子网之后的切片需求信息(或者根据直接根据需求信息)确定视频监控应用和/或PLC控制应用为确定性通信业务，进而确定相适配的支持确定性通信业务的网络功能配置，如相关的超低时延超高可靠性(ultra-reliable and low-latency communication,URLLC)网络功能配置策略。
(1)根据时延需求或分解的时延需求信息，确定低时延相关的网络功能配置策略，例如确定前述描述的RAN时延相关的网络功能配置和/或CN时延相关的网络功能配置。
(2)根据可靠性需求或分解的可靠性需求信息，确定可靠性相关的网络功能配置策略，例如确定前述描述的RAN可靠性相关的网络功能配置和/或CN可靠性相关的网络功能配置。
(3)进一步的，基于上述需求信息，或切片需求，可以通过网络资源策略如资源预留或预调度方法支持时延与可靠性的组合需求。具体的网络功能配置包括以下信息中的一种或多种(网络功能或功能组合的开关策略)：
RAN网络资源策略配置：(1)基于业务的资源预留策略：在现有网络切片级保证资源、优先使用资源和共享资源的基础上，进一步为不同的应用分别配置对应的保证资源、优先使用资源和共享资源。(2)基于业务的资源预调度策略：针对不同的应用或无线承载分别配置无线资源，通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)，媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control，MAC)或物理下行控制信道PDCCH等方式激活无线资源。
以PLC远程控制业务中的PLC控制应用为例，举例说明RAN、CN网络切片子网低时延高可靠的配置方法，如下：
确定开启如下RAN网络功能配置策略开关：PDCP乱序递交、PDCP多连接冗余传输、双连接切换、对应于PLC控制业务的保证资源配置。
确定开启如下CN网络功能配置策略开关：UPF下沉、UPF多连接冗余传输。
需要说明的是，通信业务保障管理功能实体获取到需求信息之后，可能并没有直接确定网络功能配置，而是确定了配置需求指示信息，其中配置需求指示信息用于指示为了满足需求信息所需要获得的配置需求。通信业务保障管理功能实体获得配置需求指示信息后，可以发送给指配管理实体，由指配管理实体根据配置需求指示信息确定每个被管理对象的网络功 能配置。
本申请实施例中，针对确定性通信业务的性能，主要针对低时延和高可靠性的需求，确定了相应的网络功能配置，这些网路功能配置能够使得整个通信网络获得用于支持确定性通信业务的需求信息的网络能力，为确定性通信业务提供了保障。
203、通信业务保障管理功能实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置信息。
通信业务保障管理功能实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置信息具体可以包括：通信业务保障管理功能实体向指配管理实体发送网络功能配置，通过指配管理实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置；或通信业务保障管理功能实体向被指配管理实体发送配置需求指示信息，被指配需求指示信息用于被指配管理实体获得网络功能配置；通信业务保障管理功能实体通过被指配管理实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置。
由于通信业务保障管理功能实体根据需求信息获取到的网络功能配置信息可能是网络功能配置，也可能是配置需求指示信息，因此通信业务保障管理功能实体可能进行如下一种操作：
203a.通信业务保障管理功能实体将确定的网络功能配置发送给被管理对象(被管理对象)，或者通信业务保障管理功能实体将确定的网络功能配置发送给指配管理实体，由指配管理实体转发给被管理对象。
203b.通信业务保障管理功能实体将配置需求指示信息发送给指配管理实体，由指配管理实体根据配置需求指示信息获得网络功能配置，再将网络功能配置发送给被管理对象。
被管理对象接收到网络功能配置后，进行自身网络功能的配置，例如前述RAN的时延相关的网络功能配置和/或可靠性相关的网络功能配置，CN的时延功能配置和/或可靠性相关的网络功能配置等。
在一些可能的情况下，被管理对象完成自身网络功能的配置之后，还可以进行配置结果响应，因此该方法还可以包括如下步骤：
204、通信业务保障管理功能实体接收被管理对象或指配管理实体发送的响应消息，响应消息包括针对网络功能配置的配置结果信息。
205、通信业务保障管理功能实体向确定性通信业务的消费端发送需求信息处理响应消息，包括配置结果信息。
在被管理对象完成自身网络功能的配置后，向通信业务保障管理功能实体发送响应消息，响应消息中包括配置结果信息，具体可以包括是否配置成功，或者自身实际的网络功能配置等。通信业务保障管理功能实体接收到响应消息后，可以直接将该响应消息转发给NSMF消费端，或者可以将配置结果信息封装在其他消息中发送给NSMF消费端，完成整个确定性通信业务保障过程。
可见，在本申请实施例中，由通信业务保障管理功能实体从确定性通信业务的消费端获取确定性通信业务的需求信息，由于该需求信息包括时延需求和可靠性需求，可用于判断业务为确定性通信业务，而为了获得支持确定性通信业务的需求信息的网络能力，需要确定对应的网络功能配置。该过程能够有效实现对确定性通信业务的保障。
另外，本申请实施例还提供一种通信业务测量方法，请参阅图3，该方法包括如下步骤：
301、通信业务保障管理功能实体从性能管理实体或告警管理实体获取所述被管理对象用于支持所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息。
302、通信业务保障管理功能实体根据所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息， 获得所述被管理对象的性能。
303、通信业务保障管理功能实体确定所述被管理对象的性能与所述确定性通信业务对应的需求信息之间的差异值是否大于第一预设阈值。
本申请实施例中，可以根据确定性通信业务的需求信息确定网络功能配置，具体需求信息和网络功能配置可以参考图2对应实施例的描述。在获得确定性通信业务对应的网络功能配置之后，可能各个被管理对象还未根据网络功能配置进行自身网络功能的配置。此时，可以由通信业务保障管理功能实体向性能管理(performance management，PM)实体/告警管理(fault management，FM)实体发送第一测量请求消息，用于请求获取被管理对象用于支持所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息，然后通信业务保障管理功能实体根据这些性能测量和/或告警信息，确定当前被管理对象的性能，将该性能与确定性通信业务对应的需求信息进行比较，确定被管理对象经过网络管理功能配置对应的配置修改或创建后，是否达成了通信业务对应的需求，也即确定被管理对象的性能与确定性通信业务对应的需求信息之间的差异值是否大于第一预设阈值，如果是，说明被管理对象需要重新进行网络功能的配置，则可以进行前述实施例201～203(或201～205)的步骤，以便整个通信网络获得支持确定性通信业务的需求信息的网络能力。如果不是，则可以不用对被管理对象进行新的网络功能的配置，起到减少不必要配置过程的目的。
可见，在本申请实施例中，通过通信业务保障管理功能实体从性能管理实体或告警管理实体获取所述被管理对象用于支持所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息，根据确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息获得所述被管理对象的性能，再将被管理对象的性能与确定性通信业务对应的需求信息进行对比，确定当前被管理对象的性能是否能够满足确定性通信业务的需求，以便确定后续是否进行网络功能配置的重新确定以及进行被管理对象的网络功能重新配置。这个过程一方面可以使得被管理对象在需要的时候能够进行有效的网络功能的配置，另一方面可以使得在当前网络配置能够满足确定性通信业务的需求信息的时候，减少不必要的网络功能的配置过程，提升网络通信效率。
本申请实施例还提供另一种通信业务测量方法，请参阅图4，该方法包括如下步骤：
401、通信业务保障管理功能实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置，或向指配管理实体发送配置需求指示信息。
其中配置需求指示信息用于指配管理实体获得网络功能配置，并向被管理对象发送网络功能配置，网络功能配置是根据确定性业务的需求信息确定的。
402、通信业务保障管理功能实体按照第一时间间隔从性能管理实体或告警管理实体获取所述被管理对象用于支持所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息；或者从性能管理实体或告警管理实体接收事件触发的性能测量和/或告警信息，事件触发指性能测量到达预设的性能阈值而触发的性能数据上报或预设的告警条件满足而触发的告警信息。
403、通信业务保障管理功能实体根据所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息，获得所述被管理对象的性能。
404、通信业务保障管理功能实体确定所述被管理对象的性能与所述确定性通信业务对应的需求信息之间的差值是否小于第二预设阈值。
405、当差值不小于第二预设阈值，则根据被管理对象的性能与所述确定性通信业务对应的需求信息之间的差值重新确定网络功能配置；重复401～405直到确定差值小于第二预设阈值。
本申请实施例中，同样的，可以根据确定性通信业务的需求信息确定网络功能配置，具体需求信息和网络功能配置可以参考图2对应实施例的描述，并且，在确定网络功能配置之后，如前述实施例步骤203描述的，通信业务保障管理功能实体向被管理对象发送网络功能配置，或向指配管理实体发送配置需求指示信息，以便被管理对象根据网络功能配置进行自身网络功能的配置。
然后通信业务保障管理功能实体按照第一时间间隔周期性地向性能管理实体/告警管理实体获取所述被管理对象用于支持所述确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息(即已经根据确定性通信业务的需求信息进行了被管理对象的网络功能的配置的创建或修改之后)，再根据确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息获得被管理对象的性能，将被管理对象的性能与确定性通信业务对应的需求信息进行对比，如果两者的差值大于或等于第二预设阈值，说明被管理对象没有达成预期目标，例如确定性通信业务的需求信息要求的时延为30ms，而当前被管理对象的性能只能达到50ms，此时需要根据两者的差值，重新确定网络功能配置，以便被管理对象根据重新确定的网络功能配置进行自身网络功能的配置修改或创建后，能够达成确定性通信业务的需求。这个过程可能需要反复几次，直到达到预期效果。
可见，在本申请实施例中，在通信业务保障管理功能实体根据确定性通信业务的需求信息确定网络功能配置，并将网络功能配置发送给被管理对象之后，还可以进一步按照第一时间间隔向性能管理实体或告警管理实体获取被管理对象用于支持确定性通信业务的性能测量和/或告警信息，以便通过性能测量和/或告警信息确定被管理对象的性能是否达成通信业务的需求。如果没有，则对网络功能配置进行修改，反复测量，直到确定被管理对象的性能达成通信业务的需求。该过程提升了确定性通信业务保障过程的可靠性。
