背景技术Background technique
体验质量(quality of experience,QoE)是终端用户对移动网络提供的业务性能的用户体验或者用户感知,主要指的是用户对于网络的满意度。关键质量指标(key quality indicator,KQI)(或者QoE指标)是从用户体验的不同维度来表征的业务质量参数,如网络业务中用户应该达到的页面显示或文件的传送速度、音频质量、图像质量、视频连续度、音/视同步程度等。通过KQI的加权计算可以评价QoE等级信息(如很好、好、普通、差、很差)。Quality of experience (QoE) is the user experience or user perception of the service performance provided by the mobile network by the end user, mainly referring to the user's satisfaction with the network. Key quality indicators (KQI) (or QoE indicators) are service quality parameters characterized from different dimensions of user experience, such as the page display or file transfer speed, audio quality, image quality, video continuity, audio/video synchronization, etc. that users should achieve in network services. The QoE level information (such as very good, good, average, poor, and very poor) can be evaluated through the weighted calculation of KQI.
业务质量QoS(Quality of Service)是从网络的角度进行业务管理和提供业务的差异性,网络实体根据不同的质量需求来处理不同业务,可以理解为数据传输的性能指标,如时延、抖动、带宽、误码等。关键性能指标(key performance indicator,KPI)主要是基于网络层面上对网元等设备的性能进行描述,由可监测可度量的一组参数数据构成,是运营商对网络进行管理的测量方法,如常用的接入性、移动性。QoS和KPI从网络层面影响终端用户的体验质量QoE。QoS (Quality of Service) is the management and differentiation of services provided from the perspective of the network. Network entities handle different services according to different quality requirements. It can be understood as performance indicators of data transmission, such as latency, jitter, bandwidth, bit error, etc. Key performance indicators (KPI) are mainly based on the description of the performance of network elements and other equipment at the network level. They are composed of a set of parameter data that can be monitored and measured. They are the measurement methods used by operators to manage the network, such as commonly used accessibility and mobility. QoS and KPI affect the end-user's quality of experience QoE from the network level.

For example, 3GPP dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) based on HTTP, etc., whose QoE indicators include average throughput, initial playout delay, buffer level, etc. Then, NWDAF compares the QoE information with the QoE demand information based on the input of QoE information of certain service types obtained from AF, and analyzes and optimizes the QoS configuration strategy of CN or the network slice selection strategy of UE according to the comparison results, for example, to improve the accuracy of QoS policy configuration, instruct UE to reselect a more suitable network slice, etc. By selecting a better QoS parameter combination, and/or configuring more reasonable network bandwidth resources, and/or instructing the UE to a more appropriate network slice selection strategy, the service experience of the UE on the 5G network/network slice is improved.
也即是说,常规的业务体验管理或优化主要是通过控制面功能实体与AF的交互来实现。但是随着5G新空口(new radio,NR)的发展与演进,面临新的业务场景。例如针对URLLC业务,对时延和可靠性要求高,与常规业务的QoE指标存在差别,网元与AF交互获得QoE指标进而进行业务体验管理或优化的过程也应该有所差别。That is to say, conventional service experience management or optimization is mainly achieved through the interaction between the control plane functional entity and AF. However, with the development and evolution of 5G new radio (NR), new service scenarios are faced. For example, URLLC services have high requirements for latency and reliability, which are different from the QoE indicators of conventional services. The process of network elements interacting with AF to obtain QoE indicators and then manage or optimize service experience should also be different.
基于此,请参阅图3,图3为本申请实施例提供的一种业务质量管理方法流程图,如图3所示,该方法包括如下步骤:Based on this, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flow chart of a service quality management method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:
201、数据分析功能实体从应用功能实体或终端设备接收时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的第一业务体验信息,第一业务体验信息为影响用户对时延和/或可靠性敏感业务感知的质量参数。201. A data analysis function entity receives first service experience information of a delay and/or reliability sensitive service from an application function entity or a terminal device, where the first service experience information is a quality parameter that affects a user's perception of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service.
本申请实施例中,数据分析功能实体从AF或UE接收第一业务体验信息,可以是AF或UE主动向数据分析功能实体发送的,也可以是AF或UE响应于数据分析功能实体的请求消息或订阅消息发送的。因此,在步骤201之前,还可以包括步骤204、数据分析功能实体向应用功能实体或终端设备发送第一消息,第一消息用于请求或订阅业务体验信息。In the embodiment of the present application, the data analysis function entity receives the first service experience information from the AF or UE, which may be actively sent by the AF or UE to the data analysis function entity, or sent by the AF or UE in response to a request message or subscription message from the data analysis function entity. Therefore, before step 201, step 204 may also be included, in which the data analysis function entity sends a first message to the application function entity or the terminal device, and the first message is used to request or subscribe to service experience information.
本申请实施例中,通过数据分析功能实体从应用功能实体AF或终端设备UE接收时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的第一业务体验信息。时延和/或可靠性敏感业务是指具有低时延和高可靠性要求的业务,具体可以指URLLC业务。数据分析功能实体是一种能够进行数据分析的功能实体。可选的情况下,数据分析功能实体可以是指eMDAS,或者也可以是指NWDAF。其中eMDAS可以与NSMF合设。或者eMDAS与NSMF分开设置。而NSMF作为eMDAS消费者,可以是由NSMF从NSMF消费者(包括AF,UE或其他消费实体)获取第一业务体验信息,然后发送给eMDAS进行后续分析处理。In an embodiment of the present application, the first service experience information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service is received from the application function entity AF or the terminal device UE through the data analysis function entity. The delay and/or reliability sensitive service refers to a service with low delay and high reliability requirements, which may specifically refer to a URLLC service. The data analysis function entity is a functional entity capable of performing data analysis. Optionally, the data analysis function entity may refer to eMDAS, or it may refer to NWDAF. The eMDAS may be co-established with the NSMF. Or the eMDAS and the NSMF may be separately arranged. As an eMDAS consumer, NSMF may obtain the first service experience information from NSMF consumers (including AF, UE or other consumer entities) by NSMF, and then send it to eMDAS for subsequent analysis and processing.
时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的第一业务体验信息,是指影响用户对所述时延和/或可靠性敏感业务感知的质量参数,具体可以指前述描述的QoE信息(或者QoE指标信息)。第一业务体验信息包括时延参数和可靠性参数等。其中,时延参数用于表征时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的各数据包的最大传输时间是否在预设 时间阈值内,可靠性参数用于表征时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的丢包率是否在预设范围内。The first service experience information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service refers to the quality parameters that affect the user's perception of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service, and specifically refers to the QoE information (or QoE indicator information) described above. The first service experience information includes delay parameters and reliability parameters. Among them, the delay parameter is used to characterize whether the maximum transmission time of each data packet of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service is within the preset value. Within the time threshold, the reliability parameter is used to characterize whether the packet loss rate of the latency and/or reliability-sensitive service is within a preset range.
可选的情况下,第一业务体验信息中的时延参数可以包括以下一种或多种:时延分布、逃生时延、交互时延、往返时延RTT抖动、包间隔分布、或中断率。Optionally, the delay parameters in the first service experience information may include one or more of the following: delay distribution, escape delay, interaction delay, round-trip delay RTT jitter, packet interval distribution, or interruption rate.
举例说明,视频回传业务(URLLC业务)的QoE指标信息包括以下内容:For example, the QoE indicator information of the video backhaul service (URLLC service) includes the following:
表1
Table 1
举例说明,远程控制业务(URLLC业务)的QoE指标信息包括以下内容:For example, the QoE indicator information of the remote control service (URLLC service) includes the following:
表2
Table 2
其中包间隔分布是指数据包传输时间间隔的分布。如表1和表2中所示,RTT抖动和包间隔分布是视频回传业务和远程控制业务所特有的时延抖动类QoE指标。另外,远程控制业务还包括其他特有的QoE指标。具体如表2中所示,包括时延分布、逃生时延和交互时延、以及中断率等。Packet interval distribution refers to the distribution of the time intervals between data packet transmissions. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, RTT jitter and packet interval distribution are delay jitter QoE indicators unique to video backhaul services and remote control services. In addition, remote control services also include other unique QoE indicators. As shown in Table 2, they include delay distribution, escape delay, interaction delay, and interruption rate.
需要说明的是,QoE信息包括非常系统的用户体验信息,但是其中一些用户体验信息与网络传输过程的参数无关,例如资费满意度,售后满意度等,不能通过网络质量管理策略修改业务传输信息使得该类用户体验信息被改变。因此,eMDAS获取的QoE信息可以是指与网络传输相关的部分QoE信息,而不是全部的QoE信息。It should be noted that QoE information includes very systematic user experience information, but some of the user experience information is irrelevant to the parameters of the network transmission process, such as tariff satisfaction, after-sales satisfaction, etc., and such user experience information cannot be changed by modifying the service transmission information through the network quality management strategy. Therefore, the QoE information obtained by eMDAS can refer to part of the QoE information related to network transmission, rather than all the QoE information.
本申请实施例中可以通过数据分析功能实体从AF或UE获取第一用户体验信息,而表格中的一些QoE信息是其他类型的业务也包括的信息。因此,在一些情况下,数据分析功能实体可以采用与其他类型的业务获取该类QoE信息相同的方式获取这些QoE信息。本申请实施例中不做具体限定。In the embodiment of the present application, the first user experience information can be obtained from the AF or UE through the data analysis function entity, and some QoE information in the table is also included in other types of services. Therefore, in some cases, the data analysis function entity can obtain this QoE information in the same way as other types of services obtain this type of QoE information. This is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.
202、数据分析功能实体从第一网络实体接收时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的第一业务传输信息,第一业务传输信息为时延和/或可靠性敏感业务传输过程中表征业务传输性能的测量信息。202. The data analysis function entity receives first service transmission information of a delay and/or reliability sensitive service from a first network entity, where the first service transmission information is measurement information characterizing service transmission performance during transmission of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service.
本申请实施例中,数据分析功能实体从第一网络实体接收第一业务传输信息,可以是第一网络实体主动向数据分析功能实体发送的,也可以是第一网络实体响应于数据分析功能实体的请求消息或订阅消息发送的。因此,在步骤202之前,还可以包括步骤205、数据分析功能实体向第一网络实体发送第二消息,第二消息用于请求或订阅第一业务传输信息。In the embodiment of the present application, the data analysis function entity receives the first service transmission information from the first network entity, which may be actively sent by the first network entity to the data analysis function entity, or sent by the first network entity in response to a request message or a subscription message of the data analysis function entity. Therefore, before step 202, step 205 may also be included, in which the data analysis function entity sends a second message to the first network entity, and the second message is used to request or subscribe to the first service transmission information.
本申请实施例中,时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的第一业务传输信息,是指时延和/或可靠性敏感业务传输过程中表征业务传输性能的测量信息。并且,第一业务传输信息与第一业务体验信息之间存在对应关系。当第一业务传输信息改变时,通常情况下,也会造成第一业务体验信息的改变。In the embodiment of the present application, the first service transmission information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service refers to the measurement information characterizing the service transmission performance during the delay and/or reliability sensitive service transmission process. In addition, there is a corresponding relationship between the first service transmission information and the first service experience information. When the first service transmission information changes, it usually causes the first service experience information to change.
具体地,第一网络实体是指能够获取到业务传输信息的功能实体。第一业务传输信息可以包括时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的业务质量QoS测量信息。 Specifically, the first network entity refers to a functional entity that can obtain service transmission information. The first service transmission information may include service quality QoS measurement information of delay and/or reliability sensitive services.
本申请实施例中,时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的QoS测量信息,主要是指5G服务质量标识(5G QoS idtifier,5QI),代表5G网络的一组QoS属性值。一组QoS属性值包括优先级,包时延预算,误包率,默认最大数据突发量,和/或默认平均窗口属性等。5QI有三种类型:标准5QI、预配置的5QI、或动态分配的5QI。标准5QI中,每个值对应一套QoS规格参数;预配置的5QI在接入网预置;动态分配的5QI的QoS规格作为QoS模板(QoS profile)或者QoS规则(QoS rule)的一部分。In the embodiments of the present application, the QoS measurement information of delay and/or reliability sensitive services mainly refers to the 5G service quality identifier (5G QoS idtifier, 5QI), which represents a set of QoS attribute values of the 5G network. A set of QoS attribute values includes priority, packet delay budget, packet error rate, default maximum data burst, and/or default average window attribute, etc. There are three types of 5QI: standard 5QI, pre-configured 5QI, or dynamically allocated 5QI. In the standard 5QI, each value corresponds to a set of QoS specification parameters; the pre-configured 5QI is preset in the access network; the QoS specification of the dynamically allocated 5QI is part of the QoS template (QoS profile) or QoS rule (QoS rule).
当数据分析功能实体不同时,其对应获取第一业务传输信息的第一网络实体也不同。具体可参阅图4A,图4A为本申请实施例提供的一种通信架构示意图,如图4A所示,数据分析功能实体为增强管理数据分析功能实体eMDAS,从AF获取第一业务体验信息,第一网络实体可以为第一网络管理实体,具体可以包括CN NSSMF和/或RAN NSSMF,或者还可以包括NSMF(CN NSSMF与RAN NSSMF被NSMF管理),由eMDAS从CN NSSMF和/或RAN NSSMF(或者NSMF)获取第一业务传输信息;其中eMDAS可以与AF直接通信,也可以通过开放控制管理功能(exposure governance management function,EGMF)进行通信。When the data analysis function entities are different, the corresponding first network entities for obtaining the first service transmission information are also different. Please refer to Figure 4A for details. Figure 4A is a schematic diagram of a communication architecture provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4A, the data analysis function entity is an enhanced management data analysis function entity eMDAS, which obtains the first service experience information from the AF. The first network entity may be a first network management entity, which may specifically include CN NSSMF and/or RAN NSSMF, or may also include NSMF (CN NSSMF and RAN NSSMF are managed by NSMF), and eMDAS obtains the first service transmission information from CN NSSMF and/or RAN NSSMF (or NSMF); wherein eMDAS may communicate directly with AF, or may communicate through an exposure governance management function (EGMF).
或者参阅图4B,图4B为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信架构示意图,如图4B所示,数据分析功能实体为eMDAS,而eMDAS与NSMF合设。第一网络实体包括CN NSSMF和/或RAN NSSMF。由eMDAS(或者说NSMF)直接从CN NSSMF和/或RAN NSSMF获取第一业务传输信息。另外,可以由eMDAS直接从AF或者UE获取第一业务体验信息。也可以由NSMF从AF或UE(或者其他NSMF消费者)获取第一业务体验信息,再发送给eMDAS,由eMDAS进行后续分析处理。从UE获取第一业务体验信息时,UE可以直接与eMDAS或NSMF通信,也可以通过基站gNB与UE通信。UE可以是指NSMF管理范围内的所有UE。Or refer to Figure 4B, which is another communication architecture schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4B, the data analysis function entity is eMDAS, and eMDAS and NSMF are jointly established. The first network entity includes CN NSSMF and/or RAN NSSMF. The first service transmission information is obtained directly from CN NSSMF and/or RAN NSSMF by eMDAS (or NSMF). In addition, the first service experience information can be obtained directly from AF or UE by eMDAS. NSMF can also obtain the first service experience information from AF or UE (or other NSMF consumers), and then send it to eMDAS, which will perform subsequent analysis and processing. When obtaining the first service experience information from the UE, the UE can communicate directly with the eMDAS or NSMF, or communicate with the UE through the base station gNB. UE can refer to all UEs within the management scope of NSMF.
或者参阅图4C,图4C为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信架构示意图,如图4C所示,该通信架构中的数据分析功能实体为NWDAF,NWDAF可以与AF直接通信获取第一业务体验信息,或者通过网络开放功能(network exposure function,NEF)进行通信。第一网络实体可以为网元、网络功能或网络设备,具体可以为UPF。Alternatively, refer to FIG. 4C , which is a schematic diagram of another communication architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4C , the data analysis function entity in the communication architecture is NWDAF, and NWDAF can communicate directly with AF to obtain the first service experience information, or communicate through a network exposure function (NEF). The first network entity can be a network element, a network function or a network device, specifically a UPF.
或者,QoS测量信息可以以QoS分析信息的形式被第一网络实体获取。如前述过程描述的,数据分析功能实体可以为eMDAS,其为一种管理面功能实体,可以从其他控制面数据分析功能实体例如NWDAF中获取QoS分析信息。此时第一网络实体为NWDAF(是一种网络功能)。而NWDAF则从其他网元例如UPF中获得QoS测量信息,对QoS测量信息进行分析处理后以QoS分析信息的形式发送给eMDAS。QoS分析信息为QoS测量信息的统计或预测值。例如以小区、跟踪区、网络切片等不同维度统计的QoS达标或不达标的统计值等。Alternatively, the QoS measurement information can be obtained by the first network entity in the form of QoS analysis information. As described in the previous process, the data analysis function entity can be eMDAS, which is a management plane functional entity and can obtain QoS analysis information from other control plane data analysis function entities such as NWDAF. At this time, the first network entity is NWDAF (a network function). NWDAF obtains QoS measurement information from other network elements such as UPF, analyzes and processes the QoS measurement information, and sends it to eMDAS in the form of QoS analysis information. QoS analysis information is a statistical or predicted value of QoS measurement information. For example, statistical values of QoS compliance or non-compliance in different dimensions such as cells, tracking areas, network slices, etc.
第一业务传输信息还可以包括网络测量信息,具体的网络测量信息可以包括业务执行过程中网络中实际的往返时延(round-trip time,RTT),传输时延,带宽利用率,丢包率等。这种情况下的数据分析功能实体为管理面数据分析功能实体,具体可以为eMDAS。对应的,此时的第一网络实体如前述描述,可以包括CN NSSMF和/或RAN NSSMF。在一些情况下,例如跨域管理时,第一网络实体还可以包括NSMF。NSMF用于管理CN NSSMF和RAN NSSMF。The first service transmission information may also include network measurement information. The specific network measurement information may include the actual round-trip time (RTT), transmission delay, bandwidth utilization, packet loss rate, etc. in the network during service execution. The data analysis function entity in this case is the management plane data analysis function entity, which may be eMDAS. Correspondingly, the first network entity at this time may include CN NSSMF and/or RAN NSSMF as described above. In some cases, such as cross-domain management, the first network entity may also include NSMF. NSMF is used to manage CN NSSMF and RAN NSSMF.
203、数据分析功能实体根据第一业务体验信息、第一业务传输信息和对应于时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的业务体验需求信息生成并向第二网络实体发送业务质量管理策略。203. The data analysis function entity generates a service quality management policy based on the first service experience information, the first service transmission information, and the service experience requirement information corresponding to the delay and/or reliability sensitive service, and sends the policy to the second network entity.
其中,业务质量管理策略用于指示第二网络实体修改或调整时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的资源配置策略或参数配置,以使得时延和/或可靠性敏感业务在修改或调整操作后的第二业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息的差异在预设阈值范围内。Among them, the service quality management policy is used to instruct the second network entity to modify or adjust the resource configuration policy or parameter configuration of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service, so that the difference between the second service experience information and the service experience requirement information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service after the modification or adjustment operation is within a preset threshold range.
数据分析功能实体在获得第一业务体验信息之后,可以将其与时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的业务体验需求信息进行比对。业务体验需求信息是执行业务时设定的应该达到的标准业务体验。判断业务体验信息的好坏,主要是通过将业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息进行比对,如果两者的差异在预设范围内,包括两者相一致,或业务体验信息在预设边界范围内,或业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息的差异在预设边界范围内,说明业务体验信息好,反之则表明业务体验信息差。After obtaining the first service experience information, the data analysis function entity may compare it with the service experience requirement information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service. The service experience requirement information is the standard service experience that should be achieved when executing the service. The quality of the service experience information is mainly determined by comparing the service experience information with the service experience requirement information. If the difference between the two is within a preset range, including the two being consistent, or the service experience information is within a preset boundary range, or the difference between the service experience information and the service experience requirement information is within a preset boundary range, it indicates that the service experience information is good, otherwise it indicates that the service experience information is poor.
业务体验需求信息也可以由管理数据分析功能实体从AF或UE获取。或者当管理数据分析功能实体为eMDAS时,由eMDAS从eMDAS消费者获取,当管理功能数据分析功能实体与NSMF合设时,也可以由NSMF从NSMF消费者获取。因此,在步骤203之前,该方法还可以包括步骤:数据分析功能实体获取时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的业务体验需求信息(图中未示出)。The service experience requirement information can also be obtained by the management data analysis function entity from the AF or UE. Or when the management data analysis function entity is eMDAS, it is obtained by eMDAS from the eMDAS consumer. When the management function data analysis function entity is co-established with NSMF, it can also be obtained by NSMF from the NSMF consumer. Therefore, before step 203, the method may also include the step of: the data analysis function entity obtains the service experience requirement information of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service (not shown in the figure).
为了便于将业务体验需求信息和业务体验信息进行比对,两者应该是相同内容的参数。例如当业务体 验信息为某类QoE指标信息时,业务体验需求信息也为该类QoE指标信息。具体业务体验需求信息的内容描述可以参阅前述对第一业务体验的描述。因此,可选情况下,时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的业务体验需求信息中的时延参数包括以下一种或多种:时延分布、逃生时延、交互时延、往返时延RTT抖动、包间隔分布、或中断率。需要说明的是,对于时延和/或可靠性敏感业务来说,需要同时满足时延参数和可靠性参数,因此,在满足这些时延参数需求的同时,也要满足对应的可靠性参数需求。In order to compare the service experience requirement information and service experience information, the two should be parameters with the same content. When the experience information is a certain type of QoE indicator information, the service experience requirement information is also this type of QoE indicator information. For the description of the content of the specific service experience requirement information, please refer to the aforementioned description of the first service experience. Therefore, optionally, the delay parameters in the service experience requirement information of delay and/or reliability sensitive services include one or more of the following: delay distribution, escape delay, interaction delay, round-trip delay RTT jitter, packet interval distribution, or interruption rate. It should be noted that for delay and/or reliability sensitive services, both delay parameters and reliability parameters need to be met at the same time. Therefore, while meeting these delay parameter requirements, the corresponding reliability parameter requirements must also be met.
可以根据业务体验需求信息和第一业务体验信息两者之间的比对结果,以及业务传输信息的情况,生成业务质量管理策略。当第一业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息对比的差异不在预设范围内时,考虑生成业务质量管理策略。如上述描述的,业务体验信息和业务传输信息存在对应关系。第一业务传输信息用于提供生成的业务质量管理策略的参考。业务质量管理策略具体用于修改或调整所述时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的资源配置策略或参数配置,这使得时延和/或可靠性敏感业务传输过程中表征业务传输性能的测量信息的第二业务传输信息与第一业务传输信息不同,相对应的,第二业务体验信息也发生变化。假设第二业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息之间对比的差异在预设范围内,说明业务质量管理策略达到了质量管理效果。如果两者的差异仍然不在预设范围内,则可以继续循环前述生成并发送业务质量管理策略,对比是否达成业务质量体验需求信息的过程,直到达成业务质量管理的效果。A service quality management strategy can be generated based on the comparison result between the service experience demand information and the first service experience information, as well as the service transmission information. When the difference between the first service experience information and the service experience demand information is not within the preset range, consider generating a service quality management strategy. As described above, there is a corresponding relationship between the service experience information and the service transmission information. The first service transmission information is used to provide a reference for the generated service quality management strategy. The service quality management strategy is specifically used to modify or adjust the resource configuration strategy or parameter configuration of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service, so that the second service transmission information of the measurement information characterizing the service transmission performance during the delay and/or reliability sensitive service transmission process is different from the first service transmission information, and correspondingly, the second service experience information also changes. Assuming that the difference between the second service experience information and the service experience demand information is within the preset range, it means that the service quality management strategy has achieved the quality management effect. If the difference between the two is still not within the preset range, the aforementioned process of generating and sending the service quality management strategy and comparing whether the service quality experience demand information is achieved can be continued until the service quality management effect is achieved.
举例说明,假设业务体验需求信息中的丢包率为99%,第一业务体验信息中的丢包率为97%,两者的差异为99%-97%=2%。假设预设范围为0,则第一业务体验信息与业务体验需求信息之间的差异不在预设范围内,需要制定业务质量管理策略改变与丢包率相关的业务体验信息。For example, assuming that the packet loss rate in the service experience requirement information is 99%, and the packet loss rate in the first service experience information is 97%, the difference between the two is 99%-97%=2%. Assuming that the preset range is 0, the difference between the first service experience information and the service experience requirement information is not within the preset range, and a service quality management strategy needs to be formulated to change the service experience information related to the packet loss rate.
但是在生成具体的策略之前,也需要对第一业务传输信息进行分析,例如第一业务传输信息中,QoS测量信息对应的丢包率为97%,说明需要通过调整时延与可靠性敏感业务的QoS需求信息来提高相对应的业务体验信息中的丢包率,业务质量管理策略与提升QoS需求信息相关。假设QoS测量信息对应的丢包率为99%,此时可能是其他原因例如空口质量差导致的业务体验信息对应的丢包率低,可以制定提升空口质量相关的业务质量管理策略。However, before generating a specific strategy, the first service transmission information also needs to be analyzed. For example, in the first service transmission information, the packet loss rate corresponding to the QoS measurement information is 97%, indicating that it is necessary to improve the packet loss rate in the corresponding service experience information by adjusting the QoS requirement information of the delay and reliability sensitive services. The service quality management strategy is related to improving the QoS requirement information. Assuming that the packet loss rate corresponding to the QoS measurement information is 99%, it may be due to other reasons, such as poor air interface quality, which leads to a low packet loss rate corresponding to the service experience information. A service quality management strategy related to improving air interface quality can be formulated.
进一步地,将业务体验需求信息与第一业务体验信息进行对比,可以获得的分析结果包括以下信息中的一种或多种(以时延和/或可靠性敏感业务为URLLC业务进行举例说明):指定用户的URLLC业务数据流体验需求信息中一个或多个指标的统计分布或预测分布信息(按时间周期统计或指定时间范围统计,统计结果按好、正常、差分类或者按1~5级等级分类,或其他分类方式)、指定网络切片或网络切片子网上的URLLC业务数据流体验需求信息中一个或多个指标的统计分布或预测分布信息(按时间周期统计或指定时间范围统计一个或多个指标或指标组合的用户数信息,用户数统计结果按好、正常、差分类或者按1~5级等级分类,例如网络切片1在中午12:00PLC控制精度差的用户数50个,占在线用户数比例5%)。如果分析结果中一个或多个指标差值或质差时间占比或质差用户数超过预设门限(可以按质差严重情况等级设置多个不同的门限,门限也可以根据业务量或用户数等不同维度动态变化),则上报相应等级的告警或异常事件信息。也即是说,假设第一业务体验信息以及相对应的业务体验需求信息不是直接的参数值,可以先进行参数化处理,进而获得差异值。例如好、正常、差分类或者按1~5级等级分类,对应参数化处理后的值可以分别为5,4,3,2,1等。Further, the service experience demand information is compared with the first service experience information, and the analysis results that can be obtained include one or more of the following information (taking delay and/or reliability sensitive services as URLLC services for example): statistical distribution or predicted distribution information of one or more indicators in the URLLC service data flow experience demand information of a specified user (statistics by time period or by specified time range, the statistical results are classified as good, normal, poor, or classified as 1 to 5 levels, or other classification methods), statistical distribution or predicted distribution information of one or more indicators in the URLLC service data flow experience demand information on a specified network slice or network slice subnet (user number information of one or more indicators or indicator combinations are counted by time period or by specified time range, the user number statistics are classified as good, normal, poor, or classified as 1 to 5 levels, for example, the number of users with poor PLC control accuracy in network slice 1 at 12:00 noon is 50, accounting for 5% of the number of online users). If one or more indicator differences or the proportion of poor quality time or the number of poor quality users in the analysis results exceed the preset threshold (multiple different thresholds can be set according to the severity of the poor quality situation, and the threshold can also change dynamically according to different dimensions such as business volume or number of users), the corresponding level of alarm or abnormal event information is reported. In other words, assuming that the first business experience information and the corresponding business experience demand information are not direct parameter values, parameter processing can be performed first to obtain the difference value. For example, good, normal, poor classification or classification according to levels 1 to 5, the corresponding parameterized values can be 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
数据分析功能实体还输出业务质量管理策略,即改进上述质差指标或质差用户的解决方案,并通过第二网络实体执行业务质量管理策略。需要说明的是,业务质量管理策略通过修改或调整所述时延和/或可靠性敏感业务的资源配置策略或参数配置使得从第一网络实体中获取的业务传输信息改变。例如NWDAF根据下面管辖的UPF上的用户分布情况,为用户分配更多的带宽资源,修改URLLC业务调度的排队等待时间、分配不同数量的无线资源或传输带宽资源等。The data analysis function entity also outputs a service quality management strategy, that is, a solution to improve the above-mentioned poor quality indicators or poor quality users, and executes the service quality management strategy through the second network entity. It should be noted that the service quality management strategy changes the service transmission information obtained from the first network entity by modifying or adjusting the resource configuration strategy or parameter configuration of the delay and/or reliability sensitive service. For example, NWDAF allocates more bandwidth resources to users according to the user distribution on the UPF under its jurisdiction, modifies the queuing waiting time of URLLC service scheduling, allocates different amounts of wireless resources or transmission bandwidth resources, etc.

本申请实施例中,在数据分析功能实体不同的情况下,第一网络实体不同,相对应的,接收并执行数据分析功能实体输出的业务质量管理策略的第二网络实体也不同,实际上,具体的业务质量管理策略也会有所区别。 In the embodiment of the present application, when the data analysis functional entities are different, the first network entity is different, and correspondingly, the second network entity that receives and executes the service quality management policy output by the data analysis functional entity is also different. In fact, the specific service quality management policies will also be different.

As shown in FIG. 5A , the data analysis function entity is eMDAS, and the first network entity and the second network entity are both RAN NSSMF and/or CN NSSMF. The method includes steps 201 to 203 (or may also include step 204 and/or step 205) in the corresponding method in FIG. 3 , and the first service transmission information obtained by eMDAS from RAN NSSMF and/or CN NSSMF includes QoS measurement information, or may also include network measurement information. The network quality management policy generated by eMDAS is sent to RAN NSSMF and/or CN NSSMF for execution.

该场景中的资源修改策略可以包括以下至少一项:打开或关闭特定的资源策略开关、增加或减少无线接入网RAN或核心网CN冗余重传链路个数或重传次数。The resource modification strategy in this scenario may include at least one of the following: turning on or off a specific resource strategy switch, increasing or decreasing the number of redundant retransmission links or the number of retransmissions in the radio access network RAN or the core network CN.
其中打开或关闭特定的资源策略开关,例如为开启或关闭本地UPF配置,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,开启本地UPF配置能够降低数据包传输时延。RAN冗余传输链路例如为分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,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。CN冗余传输链路例如为UPF多连接冗余传输。增加RAN或CN冗余传输链路个数或重传次数可以降低丢包率,减少RAN或CN冗余传输链路个数或重传次数可以降低传输时延。Among them, turning on or off a specific resource policy switch, for example, turning on or off the local UPF configuration. The local UPF configuration refers to selecting a UPF that is closer to the network location of the cell where the user is connected to establish a service session. Turning on the local UPF configuration can reduce the data packet transmission delay. RAN redundant transmission links, for example, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) multi-connection redundant transmission, means that the UE sends or receives the same PDCP data packet with multiple cells. CN redundant transmission links, for example, UPF multi-connection redundant transmission. Increasing the number of RAN or CN redundant transmission links or the number of retransmissions can reduce the packet loss rate, and reducing the number of RAN or CN redundant transmission links or the number of retransmissions can reduce the transmission delay.

其中修改资源预留的数目或位置信息包括: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,进一步为业务增加配置对应的保证资源、优先使用资源和共享资源,或修改这些资源的位置信息,例如修改路由,选择新的UPF等。修改CN带宽资源配置包括增加或减少CN带宽资源。修改无线资源配置包括修改物理资源块的数目,或者修改发射功率、调度时间等。激活资源预调度策略,例如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(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)等方式激活无线资源。UE切换策略可以是指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。这些参数配置策略的修改也都是为了降低数据包的传输时延和/或降低数据包的丢包率。Modifying the number or location information of reserved resources includes: on the basis of the existing network slice-level guaranteed resources, priority resources and shared resources, further configuring corresponding guaranteed resources, priority resources and shared resources for the service, or modifying the location information of these resources, such as modifying the route, selecting a new UPF, etc. Modifying the CN bandwidth resource configuration includes increasing or decreasing the CN bandwidth resources. Modifying the wireless resource configuration includes modifying the number of physical resource blocks, or modifying the transmission power, scheduling time, etc. Activating the resource pre-scheduling strategy, such as configuring wireless resources for different applications or wireless bearers, and activating wireless resources through radio resource control (RRC), medium access control (MAC) or physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE switching strategy may refer to the switching strategy of the UE between UPFs, such as maintaining the source UPF connection until the target UPF is successfully accessed and then releasing the source UPF connection. The modification of these parameter configuration strategies is also to reduce the transmission delay of data packets and/or reduce the packet loss rate of data packets.
