在本实施例一种,通过第一网元对网络功能及目标节能相关控制的授权,并将网络功能已授权的控制权限及相关配置发送给云平台,从而使云平台支持网络功能触发的节能以及节能状态下的性能恢复,并通过配置中断优先级协同网络功能触发的低时延节能特性与传统非实时节能,保证多维度节能策略执行的安全性,从而满足安全、可控、低时延的节能相关控制。
实施例1:基于云资源控制优先级和/或等待时延要求配置
第一网元根据节能控制或唤醒控制的重要性和实时性,配置不同的控制的优先级和/或云资源控制等待时间,其中云资源控制等待时间用于表示云平台执行对应云资源控制等待的时间,例如,根据云资源控制类型以及云资源控制类型对应的云平台资源配置信息,设置云资源控制等待时间和/或云资源控制优先级,如表1所示。
表1
根据表1所示控制云平台资源配置信息定义的不同云资源控制优先级,可选地,可进一步配置云资源控制等待时间(Timer),即云资源控制等待时间用于表示云平台收到来自网络功能的云资源控制请求后,继续等待并监听与网络功能之间的接口,当满足云资源控制等待时间指定的时间后再执行对应的云资源控制,例如,当云资源控制类型为唤醒控制时,Timer=0,则云平台收到网络功能请求后直接执行对应云资源控制;当云资源控制类型为节能控制时,Timer=x,则云平台收到网络功能请求后在x时间内继续等待并监听来自网络功能的云资源控制请求,当云资源控制等待时间到期后再执行对应的云资源控制,例如节能降频控制。
可选地,云资源控制等待时间(Timer)及云资源控制优先级可以通过网络功能(实例)的配置信息向云平台发送。
或者,云资源控制优先级与云资源控制等待时间的对应关系可以在第一网元初始化云平台时下发,或在云平台中预配置,在网络功能授权后,将已授权的网络功能(实例)可执行的云平台资源配置信息与云资源控制等待时 间向云平台发送,云平台基于存储的对应关系获取对应的云资源控制等待时间。
或者,云平台资源配置信息与云资源控制优先级和云资源控制等待时间的对应关系可在第一网元初始化云平台时下发,或在云平台中预配置,在网络功能授权后,将已授权的网络功能(实例)可执行的云平台资源配置信息向云平台发送,云平台基于存储的对应关系获取对应云资源控制的云资源控制优先级和云资源控制等待时间。
可选地,云资源控制等待时间可以通过预配置或者在网络功能实例化时配置,为满足不同网络功能对云资源控制等待时间的灵活度,本实施例支持在图4步骤403中在网络功能向云平台发送的云资源控制请求中增加时间偏移量(offset),用于根据网络功能需求对已配置的云资源控制等待时间进行调整。
实施例2:基于网络功能类型配置网络功能优先级。
本实施例中,第一网元可以根据待授权网络功能的实时性要求,通过配置不同网络功能类型(例如DU/CU/nRT RIC)的网络功能优先级,如表2所示,实现服务维度的云资源控制。
表2
根据表2所示针对不同网络功能定义的不同网络功能优先级,可用于指示当云平台接收到多个网络功能的节能控制或唤醒控制请求时,优先执行来自高优先级网络功能对应的请求,例如DU实时性要求和能耗最高则优先级最高。
另外,实施例2可以与实施例1结合,在指示网络功能优先级的同时, 指定云资源控制类型,云平台资源配置信息,也可相应指定云资源控制优先级和云资源控制等待时间,从而网络功能发起节能控制请求时仅需指定云资源配置信息,云平台可根据第一网元授权后发送的配置信息中查询对应关系,并执行对应的节能控制或唤醒控制,减少网络功能请求中配置开销。
针对步骤401-402所述网络功能(实例)的配置信息,根据网络功能虚拟化(Network Functions Virtualisation,NFV)相关技术对虚拟网络功能描述(Virtualised Network Function Descriptor,VNFD)基础上,本公开可以增强的字段可以基于实施例3实现。
实施例3:基于NFV的标准待增强字段
在本公开的一种实施例中,基于NFV相关技术针对VNFD的描述或进一步拓展到容器化网络功能描述(Containerized Network Function Descriptor,CNFD),进一步增强网络功能发起的节能控制相关字段,在VNF/网络功能容器化(Containerized Network Function,CNF)实例化或修改VNF/CNF配置过程中由第一网元向云平台发送。从而支持云平台根据网络功能与云平台接口发送的节能控制或配置信息,相应进行节能或高性能配置,详细内容如表3所示:
表3


根据表3所示,针对VNFD/CNFD增强的与节能和高性能恢复相关的字段可进一步增加到VNFD信息元素(information element),或VNFD信息元素中deploymentFlavour字段,或VNFD信息元素中configurableProperties字段对应的表格中,或者进一步拓展到CNFD对应字段中,用于第一网元在部署或更新网络功能时向云平台指示云平台支持网络功能发起的云资源控制。
具体的,针对步骤403所述第一网元向网络功能(实例)发送的网络功能可执行的云资源控制类型、云平台资源配置信息和/或云资源控制等待时间,其中,可选的云资源控制等待时间,可以基于实施例4实现。
实施例4:指示网络功能的可执行的云平台资源配置信息。
本公开的一种实施例中,在对应网络功能实例化后,第一网元将当前网络功能可执行的云资源控制类型、云平台资源配置信息,和/或云资源控制等 待时间向已实例化后的网络功能(实例)发送;或者,可选地,云资源控制类型、云平台资源配置信息,和/或云资源控制等待时间也可以通过鉴权响应发送,如表4所示。
表4
网络功能根据表4所示的云平台资源配置信息可配置云资源控制等待时间,用于指示网络功能基于采集到的网络状态及资源占用情况,生成对云平台的节能控制请求后,继续等待并监控网络和云平台状态,当满足云资源控制等待时间指定的时间且状态未发生大范围变化后,将节能控制请求发送到对应云平台。例如,当节能降频时Timer=x,则网络功能生成节能控制请求,在x时间内暂不向云平台发送节能控制请求,并继续监控网络状态及云资源占用情况,在此期间当网络状态突发流量且资源不足时,立即触发唤醒控制,Timer=0,则立即向云平台发送唤醒控制请求。
另外,如采用本实施例所述配置,则第一网元向云平台发送的网络功能(实例)的配置信息中,无需包括控制等待时间,云平台接收到网络功能发起的控制请求后直接执行。
具体的,针对网络功能发起的低时延节能特性与传统非实时节能的协同,相应的可以基于实施例5实现。
实施例5:实时及非实时节能控制协同
本公开的一种实施例中,基于第一网元向云平台发送的网络功能(实例)的云资源控制类型,和/或云平台资源配置信息,和/或云资源控制优先级,当云平台接收到来自网络功能的云资源控制请求后,当云资源控制类型为“唤醒 控制”或云平台资源配置信息为表4所述恢复唤醒控制类型下对应的云平台资源配置信息时,根据已配置的云资源控制优先级(0)和/或云资源控制等待时间(0),直接中断正在执行的云资源相关控制,快速执行对应云平台资源配置信息,如图5所示。
另外,当云平台接收到来自网络功能的云资源控制请求后,当云资源控制类型为“节能控制”或云资源配置参数为表4所述节能控制对应的云资源配置参数时,检测是否已接收来自第一网元发起的节能控制,若已接收,则判断第一网元发起的节能控制是否已执行完毕(是否已向第一网元反馈执行状态),当执行完后,再根据网络功能发送的云资源控制请求中云平台资源配置信息和/或时间偏移量,并结合已配置的云资源控制优先级和/或云资源控制等待时间,执行对应云资源节能控制,否则,需要等待第一网元发起的节能控制。此外,当云平台正在执行网络功能发送的节能控制时接收到第一网元发送的节能控制,则可直接中断当前正在执行的内容,根据第一网元请求执行对应节能控制,如图6所示。
通过本实施例,可以保证在第一网元对节能控制具有绝对的集中化管理,防止出现传统控制与网络功能发起的节能控制冲突的情况。另外在实现节能的同时,当处于节能模式的业务出现业务流量突发时,支持基于已配置的云资源控制优先级,使网络功能发起的节能控制可以中断当前所有节能相关控制,快速从节能模式恢复高性能模式,从而最大程度保障用户体验。
