Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a network analysis transfer method, device, and readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] To enable intelligent analysis and control of the network, 5G networks have introduced the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF). Based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms, NWDAF interacts with other network functional entities to provide network data analysis (referred to as "network analysis") services.

[0003] The main functions of NWDAF include: 1) receiving network analysis requests from network function entities, and obtaining network data from data providers based on the network analysis requests as input data for AI model training and / or network analysis; 2) using the collected data to train models; 3) using the trained model and collected data to perform network analysis and obtain analysis information; 4) providing analysis information to other network function entities. Among them, a well-trained model is crucial for obtaining accurate network analysis information.

[0004] During the network analysis process of the NWDAF, due to certain reasons (such as NWDAF overload, failure, target UE (User Equipment) moved out of the NWDAF service area, etc.), the NWDAF may need to transfer the ongoing network analysis to another NWDAF.

[0100] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0102] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0103] Embodiments of the present application provide a network analysis transfer method, apparatus, and readable storage medium to ensure network analysis performance during network analysis transfer.

[0104] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0105] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the network analysis transfer method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0106] Step 101: The target network function entity obtains model information of target network analysis from the source network function entity.

[0107] The target network analysis is a network analysis transferred from the source network function entity to the target network function entity, and may be a network analysis being performed by any source network function entity.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, the network function entity may be, for example, an entity having a network data analysis function, such as NWDAF.

[0109] As mentioned above, during the network analysis process of the source network function entity, due to certain reasons (such as NWDAF overload, failure, or the target UE being analyzed moving out of the NWDAF service area, etc.), the source network function entity may need to transfer the ongoing network analysis to another NWDAF. The target network function entity is one or more of the aforementioned "other NWDAFs".

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the target network analysis model information includes a first model file address and / or information of a first network function entity, the first network function entity being configured to provide the target network analysis model to the source network function entity. The network analysis model can be obtained through the first model file address.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, the target network functional entity obtains the analysis context of the target network analysis from the source network functional entity, wherein the analysis context includes the first model file address and / or information of the first network functional entity; and obtains the model information of the target network analysis from the analysis context.

[0112] Specifically, in this step, the model information of the target network analysis can be obtained by at least the following two methods.

[0113] (1) The target network function entity receives a request from the source network function entity and obtains an analysis context from the source network function entity based on an identifier of the analysis context in the request, wherein the request includes an identifier of the analysis context; the analysis context includes the first model file address and / or information of the first network function entity.

[0114] (2) The target network function entity obtains an analysis context for the target network analysis from the source network function entity, wherein the analysis context includes the first model file address and / or information about the first network function entity. Here, the first network function entity refers to a network function entity that can provide a model for the target network analysis.

[0115] Through the above method, the target network functional entity can flexibly obtain the model information of the target network analysis.

[0116] Step 102: The target network functional entity obtains the target network analysis model according to the target network analysis model information.

[0117] According to different model information of the target network analysis, there are different ways to obtain the model of the target network analysis.

[0118] When the model information of the target network analysis includes the first model file address, the target network function entity obtains the model file according to the first model file address, and obtains the model of the target network analysis according to the model file.

[0119] When the model information of the target network analysis includes information of the first network function entity, the target network function entity obtains a model file from the first network function entity according to the information of the first network function entity, and obtains the model of the target network analysis according to the model file.

[0120] Specifically, in this method, the target network function entity sends a subscription transfer request to the first network function entity, requesting that the network analysis model subscription of the source network function entity be transferred to the target network function entity. The target network function entity then receives the second model file address sent by the first network function entity in response to the subscription transfer request and obtains the model file based on the second model file address.

[0121] If the target network analysis model information includes the first model file address and information about the first network function entity, the target network function entity may select which information to use to obtain the target network analysis model based on a preset policy. For example, the target network function entity may select to obtain the target network analysis model based on the first model file address, or may select to obtain the target network analysis model based on information about the first network function entity.

[0122] The model file may be understood as a file containing trained model parameters, and the process of obtaining the model may be understood as a process of configuring the model using the obtained model parameters.

[0123] Step 103: The target network functional entity performs network analysis using the model to obtain analysis results of the target network.

[0124] For example, in this step, the target network functional entity obtains network analysis information using the model and collected data, and provides the network analysis information.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present application, for a target network analysis transferred from a source network function entity to a target network function entity, the target network function entity can obtain a model for the target network analysis based on the model information of the target network analysis obtained from the source network function entity, and perform network analysis using the model to obtain analysis results for the target network analysis. In this way, the target network function entity can obtain a model suitable for the target network analysis, thereby obtaining accurate network analysis results, thereby ensuring network analysis performance during the network analysis transfer process.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present application, step 101 may occur during the network analysis transfer preparation process, that is, during the network analysis transfer preparation process, the target network function entity obtains the target network analysis model information from the source network function entity. In this case, based on the above embodiment, during the network analysis transfer execution process, the target network function entity receives the updated target network analysis model information sent by the source network function entity, and updates the model based on the updated target network analysis model information, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of the obtained model.

[0127] The entire network analysis process for the target network may include multiple network analyses. Throughout this process, the target network functional entity can update the acquired model based on information provided by the source network functional entity or information acquired by itself. However, for a specific network analysis, the model generally does not need to be updated during that analysis.

[0128] On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to ensure that the source network function entity obtains the result message of the network analysis transfer in a timely manner, in the above embodiments, if the target network function entity successfully obtains the model of the target network analysis, the target network function entity sends a response message of accepting the network analysis transfer to the source network function entity.

[0129] In the above embodiment, regarding step 103, if the target network analysis model is successfully acquired, the target network function entity uses the model to perform network analysis. That is, in actual applications, the process of acquiring the model in step 102 may succeed or fail. If successful, step 103 is executed. If acquisition of the target network analysis model fails, the target network function entity indicates to the source network function entity that the network analysis transfer has failed, allowing the source network function entity to select another NWDAF for network analysis transfer. If acquisition of the target network analysis model fails, step 103 is not executed.

[0130] In the above embodiment, when the model information of the target network analysis includes information about the first network function entity, after obtaining the analysis results of the target network analysis, the target network function entity may also update the model and send an update request to the first network function entity. The update request includes the updated model information of the target network function entity, which is used by the first network function entity to update the model corresponding to the model file. In this way, the target network function entity and the first network function entity can establish a federated learning relationship.

[0131] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the network analysis transfer method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0132] Step 201: The source network function entity sends model information of a target network analysis to the target network function entity, so that the target network function entity obtains the target network analysis model according to the model information of the target network analysis and performs network analysis using the model to obtain an analysis result of the target network analysis.

[0133] The target network analysis is a network analysis transferred from the source network function entity to the target network function entity.

[0134] The target network analysis model information includes a first model file address and / or information of a first network function entity, wherein the first network function entity is configured to provide the target network analysis model to the source network function entity. The network analysis model can be obtained through the first model file address.

[0135] The source network function entity may send an analysis context to the target network function entity, wherein the analysis context includes model information of the target network analysis.

[0136] Specifically, in this step, the model information of the target network analysis may be sent to the target network function entity in at least the following two ways.

[0137] (1) The source network function entity sends an analysis context to the target network function entity, wherein the analysis context includes the first model file address and / or information of the first network function entity.

[0138] (2) The source network function entity sends a request to the target network function entity, where the request includes an analysis context identifier. Then, the source network function entity sends the analysis context to the target network function entity, where the analysis context includes the first model file address and / or information about the first network function entity.

[0139] In an embodiment of the present application, for a target network analysis transferred from a source network function entity to a target network function entity, the target network function entity can obtain a model for the target network analysis based on the model information of the target network analysis obtained from the source network function entity, and perform network analysis using the model to obtain analysis results for the target network analysis. In this way, the target network function entity can obtain a model suitable for the target network analysis, thereby obtaining accurate network analysis results, thereby ensuring network analysis performance during the network analysis transfer process.

[0140] In one embodiment of the present application, during the network analysis transfer preparation process, the source network function entity sends model information of the target network analysis to the target network function entity.

[0141] In actual applications, the target network function entity can be one or more. If there are multiple target network function entities, the source network function entity can select a network function entity for network analysis transfer based on the feedback from the multiple target network function entities. In this case, the source network function entity receives a response from the target network function entity accepting the network analysis transfer; or, the source network function entity receives a response from the target network function entity rejecting the network analysis transfer and selects another network function entity other than the target network function entity for network analysis transfer, wherein the response rejecting the network analysis transfer indicates that the target network function entity failed to obtain the model.

[0142] In this case, during the network analysis transfer execution process, the source network function entity sends updated model information of the target network analysis to the target network function entity.

[0143] Based on the above embodiment, in order to save resources, the source network function entity sends a model subscription cancellation request to the first network function entity, and the model subscription cancellation request is used to indicate that the source network function entity cancels the subscription to the model information of the target network analysis from the first network function entity.

[0144] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems. For example, the applicable system can be a global system of mobile communication (GSM) system, a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) general packet radio service (GPRS) system, a long term evolution (LTE) system, a LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, a LTE time division duplex (TDD) system, an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) system, a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), a world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) system, a 5G new air interface (NR) system, etc. These various systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The system may also include a core network part, such as an evolved packet system (EPS), a 5G system (5GS), etc.

[0145] The following describes the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present application in combination with different situations. In the following process, NWDAF is used as an example for description.

[0146] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of the network analysis transfer method of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 In the example, the Source NWDAF (NWDAF1) provides the address of the model file to the Target NWDAF (NWDAF3).

[0147] like Figure 3 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0148] Step 301: NWDAF1 provides network analysis information to Consumer NF based on the network analysis contract request of Consumer NF.

[0149] The Consumer NF's network analysis contract request includes the network analysis information that the Consumer NF requests NWDAF1 to provide, including:

[0150] (a) One or more Analytics IDs (analysis identifiers), used to identify the type of network analysis requested, such as Analytics ID = "Service Experience" (service experience analysis), Analytics ID = "UE Mobility" (UE mobility analysis), etc.

[0151] (b) Analysis filter information (Analytics Filter Information), such as the target UE or UE group identifier, area identifier, slice identifier, etc.

[0152] Optionally, NWDAF1 obtains an initial training model from NWDAF2, generates a local model and network analysis information using the initial training model and collected data, and sends the local model to NWDAF2.

[0153] NWDAF2 updates its model based on NWDAF1's local model, and then provides the updated model to NWDAF1. This cycle is repeated multiple times to obtain a better model for the network analysis, thereby improving the performance of the network analysis (such as prediction accuracy and real-time performance).

[0154] In actual applications, NWDAF2 can also be other network functional entities that provide models, such as a model repository network functional entity, instead of NWDAF; in this case, the network functional entity is required to support federated learning capabilities.

[0155] Step 302: NWDAF1 decides to perform analysis transfer.

[0156] Step 303: NWDAF1 queries NRF (Network Repository Function) or local configuration to determine the target NWDAF for analysis and transfer, namely, NWDAF3.

[0157] Step 304: NWDAF1 initiates an analysis transfer request to NWDAF3.

[0158] Step 305: NWDAF3 obtains the analysis context from NWDAF1. In this embodiment of the present application, the analysis context may include one or more of the following information:

[0159] (a) One or more Analytics IDs (analysis identifiers), used to identify the type of network analysis requested, such as Analytics ID = "Service Experience" (service experience analysis), Analytics ID = "UE Mobility" (UE mobility analysis), etc.

[0160] (b) Information about the model for one or more of the above Analytics IDs.

[0161] Specifically, the relevant information may include the address of the model file, for example: the address of the model file in NWDAF1, or the address of the latest model file obtained by NWDAF1 from NWDAF2, which can be expressed in the form of, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name).

[0162] For example: http: / / model.nwdaf.com.cn / nwdaf1_model_ServiceExperience.mdl, nwdaf1_model_ServiceExperience@model.nwdaf.com.cn; or

[0163] http: / / model.nwdaf.com.cn / nwdaf2_model_ServiceExperience.mdl; nwdaf2_model_ServiceExperience@model.nwdaf.com.cn.

[0164] Optionally, the relevant information may also include NWDAF2 information, such as: NWDAF2 identification, address (such as FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP (Internet Protocol) address), supported services (such as providing, updating and obtaining models), indication of the ability to support federated learning, which models are supported (such as models for specific Analytics IDs), service areas, and other information.

[0165] (c) Information related to data collection for one or more Analytics IDs mentioned above.

[0166] For example: information (such as identification or address) of one or more NFs (Network Functions) that provide data, and requirements for data collection (such as time and cycle).

[0167] (d) Data collected for one or more Analytics IDs, NWDAF1, mentioned above.

[0168] Specifically, it may be the data content collected by NWDAF1, or the data address, the latter of which may be expressed in the form of, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or a FQDN.

[0169] (e) Analysis information output by NWDAF1 for the above one or more Analytics IDs.

[0170] Specifically, it can be the analysis information content output by NWDAF1, or the analysis information address, the latter being represented in the form of, for example, a URL or FQDN.

[0171] (f) Analytics Filter Information, such as the target UE or UE group identifier, area identifier, slice identifier, etc.

[0172] Step 305 may be implemented in the following manner:

[0173] Method 1:

[0174] NWDAF1 initiates an analysis transfer request to NWDAF3.

[0175] Specifically, the analysis transfer request can be a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe request, which includes: an analysis transfer instruction, information about the network analysis subscription requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (i.e., information about the network analysis subscription that the Consumer NF subscribed to NWDAF1 in step 301), an analysis context identifier, etc. NWDAF3 sends a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1 to confirm acceptance of the network analysis transfer.

[0176] NWDAF3 obtains the analysis context to be transferred from NWDAF1 based on the analysis context identifier.

[0177] Method 2:

[0178] NWDAF1 initiates a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe request to NWDAF3, which includes: analysis transfer indication, relevant information of the network analysis subscription requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (i.e., relevant information of the network analysis requested by ConsumerNF to be provided by NWDAF1 in step 301), analysis context, etc.

[0179] NWDAF3 sends a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1 to confirm acceptance of the analytics transfer.

[0180] Step 306 : NWDAF3 obtains the model file from the address according to the address of the model file, and obtains the model for the one or more Analytics IDs.

[0181] Step 307: NWDAF3 collects the data required for analysis from other NFs based on the data collection related information provided by NWDAF1.

[0182] Step 308: NWDAF3 obtains analysis information using the acquired model and collected data, and provides the network analysis information to Consumer NF.

[0183] If NWDAF1 provides NWDAF3 with the information of NWDAF2 in step 305, then the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0184] Step 309: NWDAF3 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Subscribe request to NWDAF2 based on the information of NWDAF2, which includes: 1) the one or more Application IDs mentioned above, and may also include analytics filter information, and / or 2) an indication to transfer NWDAF1's model subscription to NWDAF3 (for example, NWDAF1's Notification correlation information, or Replacedmodel subscription ID = NWDAF1 subscription ID), thereby requesting to subscribe to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0185] Step 310: NWDAF2 sends Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Notify (model provision notification) to NWDAF3, which includes updated model information (such as the model file address of NWDAF2).

[0186] Step 311: NWDAF3 sends Nnwdaf_ModelUpdate_Notify (model update notification) to NWDAF2, which contains the updated NWDAF3 local model information (such as the model file address of NWDAF3), so that NWDAF2 can update its model based on this information. In other words, NWDAF2 and NWDAF3 establish a federated learning relationship.

[0187] Step 312: If NWDAF1 no longer needs to obtain the model from NWDAF2 (for example, NWDAF1 transfers all network analysis performed by itself to NWDAF3), NWDAF1 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_UnSubscribe (cancel model subscription) request to NWDAF2 to cancel the subscription to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0188] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the network analysis transfer method of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 In the example, the Source NWDAF (e.g., NWDAF1) provides the information of the model file provider (modelprovider NWDAF) (e.g., NWDAF2) to the Target NWDAF (e.g., NWDAF3).

[0189] like Figure 4 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0190] Step 401: NWDAF1 provides network analysis information to Consumer NF based on the network analysis contract request of Consumer NF.

[0191] The Consumer NF's network analysis contract request includes the network analysis information that the Consumer NF requests NWDAF1 to provide, including:

[0192] (a) One or more Analytics IDs (analysis identifiers), used to identify the type of network analysis requested, such as Analytics ID = "Service Experience" (service experience analysis), Analytics ID = "UE Mobility" (UE mobility analysis), etc.

[0193] (b) Analysis filter information (Analytics Filter Information), such as the target UE or UE group identifier, area identifier, slice identifier, etc.

[0194] Optionally, NWDAF1 obtains an initial training model from NWDAF2, generates a local model and network analysis information using the initial training model and collected data, and sends the local model to NWDAF2.

[0195] NWDAF2 updates its model based on NWDAF1's local model, and then provides the updated model to NWDAF1. This cycle is repeated multiple times to obtain a better model for the network analysis, thereby improving the performance of the network analysis (such as prediction accuracy and real-time performance).

[0196] In actual applications, NWDAF2 can also be other network functional entities that provide models, such as a model repository network functional entity, instead of NWDAF; in this case, the network functional entity is required to support federated learning capabilities.

[0197] Step 402: NWDAF1 decides to perform analysis transfer.

[0198] Step 403: NWDAF1 queries NRF or local configuration to determine the target NWDAF for analysis and transfer, namely, NWDAF3.

[0199] Step 404: NWDAF1 initiates an analysis transfer request to NWDAF3.

[0200] Step 405: NWDAF3 obtains the analysis context from NWDAF1. In this embodiment of the present application, the analysis context may include one or more of the following information:

[0201] (a) One or more Analytics IDs (analysis identifiers), used to identify the type of network analysis requested, such as Analytics ID = "Service Experience" (service experience analysis), Analytics ID = "UE Mobility" (UE mobility analysis), etc.

[0202] (b) Information about the model for one or more of the above Analytics IDs.

[0203] Specifically, the relevant information may include NWDAF2 information, such as: NWDAF2 identification, address (such as FQDN or IP address), supported services (such as providing, updating and obtaining models), capability indication of supporting federated learning, which models are supported (such as models for specific Analytics IDs), service areas, and other information.

[0204] (c) Information related to data collection for one or more Analytics IDs mentioned above.

[0205] For example: information of one or more network function entities NF that provide data (such as identification or address), and requirements for data collection (such as time and cycle).

[0206] (d) Data collected for one or more Analytics IDs, NWDAF1, mentioned above.

[0207] Specifically, it can be the data content collected by NWDAF1, or the data address, the latter of which can be expressed in the form of, for example, a URL or FQDN.

[0208] (e) Analysis information output by NWDAF1 for the above one or more Analytics IDs.

[0209] Specifically, it can be the analysis information content output by NWDAF1, or the analysis information address, the latter being represented in the form of, for example, a URL or FQDN.

[0210] (f) Analytics Filter Information, such as the target UE or UE group identifier, area identifier, slice identifier, etc.

[0211] Step 405 may be implemented in the following manner:

[0212] Method 1:

[0213] NWDAF1 initiates an analysis transfer request to NWDAF3.

[0214] Specifically, the analysis transfer request can be implemented as an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe request, which includes an analysis transfer instruction, information about the network analysis subscription requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (i.e., information about the network analysis subscription that the Consumer NF subscribed to NWDAF1 in step 401), an analysis context identifier, etc. NWDAF3 sends an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1 to confirm acceptance of the network analysis transfer.

[0215] NWDAF3 obtains the analysis context to be transferred from NWDAF1 based on the analysis context identifier.

[0216] Method 2:

[0217] NWDAF1 initiates a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe request to NWDAF3, which includes: analysis transfer indication, relevant information of the network analysis subscription requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (i.e., relevant information of the network analysis requested by ConsumerNF to be provided by NWDAF1 in step 401), analysis context, etc.

[0218] NWDAF3 sends a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1 to confirm acceptance of the analytics transfer.

[0219] Step 406: NWDAF3 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Subscribe request to NWDAF2, which includes: 1) the aforementioned one or more Application IDs, and may also include analytics filter information, and / or 2) an indication to transfer NWDAF1's model subscription to NWDAF3 (e.g., Replaced Subscriber: NWDAF1ID), thereby requesting to subscribe to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0220] Step 407: NWDAF2 sends Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Notify (model provision notification) to NWDAF3, which includes the model file address of NWDAF2.

[0221] Step 408 : NWDAF3 obtains the model file from the model file address of NWDAF2 and obtains the model for the one or more Analytics IDs.

[0222] Step 409: NWDAF3 collects the data required for analysis from other NFs based on the data collection related information provided by NWDAF1.

[0223] Step 410: NWDAF3 obtains analysis information using the acquired model and collected data, and provides the network analysis information to Consumer NF.

[0224] Step 411: NWDAF3 sends Nnwdaf_ModelUpdate_Notify (model update notification) to NWDAF2, which contains updated NWDAF3 local model information (such as NWDAF3's model file address), so that NWDAF2 can update NWDAF2's model based on this information; that is, NWDAF2 and NWDAF3 establish a federated learning relationship.

[0225] Step 412: If NWDAF1 no longer needs to obtain the model from NWDAF2 (for example, NWDAF1 transfers all analysis to NWDAF3), NWDAF1 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_UnSubscribe (cancel model subscription) request to NWDAF2 to cancel the subscription to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0226] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart of the network analysis transfer method of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 In the process of network analysis transfer preparation, the network analysis model is transferred.

[0227] like Figure 5 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0228] Step 501: NWDAF1 provides network analysis information to Consumer NF based on the network analysis contract request of Consumer NF.

[0229] The Consumer NF's network analysis contract request includes the network analysis information that the Consumer NF requests NWDAF1 to provide, including:

[0230] (a) One or more Analytics IDs (analysis identifiers), used to identify the type of network analysis requested, such as Analytics ID = "Service Experience" (service experience analysis), Analytics ID = "UE Mobility" (UE mobility analysis), etc.

[0231] (b) Analysis filter information (Analytics Filter Information), such as the target UE or UE group identifier, area identifier, slice identifier, etc.

[0232] Optionally, NWDAF1 obtains an initial training model from NWDAF2, generates a local model and network analysis information using the initial training model and collected data, and sends the local model to NWDAF2.

[0233] NWDAF2 updates its model based on NWDAF1's local model, and then provides the updated model to NWDAF1. This cycle is repeated multiple times to obtain a better model for the network analysis, thereby improving the performance of the network analysis (such as prediction accuracy and real-time performance).

[0234] In actual applications, NWDAF2 can also be other network functional entities that provide models, such as a model repository network functional entity, instead of NWDAF; in this case, the network functional entity is required to support federated learning capabilities.

[0235] Step 502: NWDAF1 decides to perform analysis transfer.

[0236] Step 503: NWDAF1 queries NRF or local configuration to determine the target NWDAFs for analysis and transfer, namely, NWDAF3 and NWDAF5.

[0237] Step 504: NWDAF1 initiates analysis transfer preparation requests to NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 respectively.

[0238] The analysis transfer preparation request includes an analysis transfer preparation instruction, information related to the network analysis contract requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (or NWDAF5), an analysis context, etc. Alternatively, the analysis transfer preparation request includes an analysis transfer preparation instruction, information related to the network analysis contract requested to be transferred to NWDAF3 (or NWDAF5), an identification of the analysis context, etc.

[0239] The analysis context contains information related to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The embodiments shown are the same, that is, they include model information required for analysis, such as the model file address and / or NWDAF2 information; and other information, such as data collected by NWDAF1 or analysis information obtained.

[0240] In response to the analysis transfer preparation request, NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 respectively obtain the analysis context from NWDAF1.

[0241] Among them, the way NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 obtain analysis context is the same as the above Figure 3 or Figure 4 The process is the same for the illustrated embodiment.

[0242] Step 505 : NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 prepare the model required for analysis according to the analysis transfer preparation request.

[0243] Specifically, if the analyzed transfer preparation request includes the address of the model file, then NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 obtain the model file from the address according to the address of the model file.

[0244] If the analysis transfer preparation request includes information about NWDAF2, then NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 each initiate a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Subscribe (model provision subscription) request to NWDAF2, which includes: 1) one or more Application IDs in the analysis context, and may also include analysis filter information (Analytics FilterInformation), and / or, 2) an indication to transfer NWDAF1's model subscription to NWDAF3 (or NWDAF5) (for example, Replaced Subscriber: NWDAF1 ID), thereby requesting to subscribe to the updated model from NWDAF2. NWDAF2 sends Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Notify (model provision notification) to NWDAF3 and NWDAF5, which includes the model file address of NWDAF2. NWDAF3 and NWDAF5 obtain the model file and the model based on the model file address of NWDAF2.

[0245] In step 506, NWDAF5 discovers that it cannot successfully prepare the model required for analysis. For example, it fails to retrieve the model file from the model file address, or fails to retrieve the model from NWDAF2 or another NWDAF or NF. NWDAF5 then sends a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1, carrying an "Analysis Transfer Preparation Failure" indication, indicating that the network analysis transfer is rejected. Specifically, this indication may indicate that the analysis transfer (preparation) failed due to an inability to obtain the model, such as "model unavailable." In other words, NWDAF5 refuses to accept the network analysis transfer due to a failure to obtain the model.

[0246] Step 507 : NWDAF3 successfully obtains the model required for analysis and sends a Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe reply to NWDAF1 , indicating that the analysis transfer is ready and the network analysis transfer is accepted.

[0247] In step 508, NWDAF3 can collect the data needed for analysis from other NFs based on the data collection information provided by NWDAF1. Furthermore, NWDAF3 can use the acquired model and collected data to obtain analysis information. Step 508 is optional.

[0248] The above steps 504-508 belong to the network analysis transfer preparation process.

[0249] In step 509, NWDAF1 initiates an analysis transfer request to NWDAF3. Based on the analysis transfer request, NWDAF3 obtains an updated analysis context from NWDAF1. The updated analysis context may include the data collected and analysis information obtained by NWDAF1 after step 504, as well as updated model information, such as the latest model file address.

[0250] Among them, step 509 can be considered as the network analysis transfer execution process.

[0251] In step 510, NWDAF3 can update the model used for analysis using the updated model information, data, and / or analysis information from NWDAF1. Specifically, NWDAF3 retrieves the latest model file from the latest model file address, adjusts the model parameters already obtained by NWDAF3 based on the model file, and further trains the model using the data and / or analysis information from NWDAF1 to obtain more optimized model parameters.

[0252] Step 511: NWDAF3 collects the data required for analysis from other NFs based on the data collection information provided by NWDAF1. NWDAF3 uses the acquired model and collected data to obtain analysis information and provides the network analysis information to the Consumer NF.

[0253] NWDAF3 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_Subscribe (model provision subscription) request to NWDAF2 based on the information of NWDAF2, which includes: 1) one or more Application IDs in the analysis context, and may also include analysis filter information (Analytics Filter Information), and / or, 2) an indication to transfer NWDAF1's model subscription to NWDAF3 (for example, NWDAF1's Notification correlation information, or Replacedmodel subscription ID = NWDAF1 subscription ID), thereby requesting to subscribe to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0254] NWDAF3 sends Nnwdaf_ModelUpdate_Notify (model update notification) to NWDAF2, which contains the updated NWDAF3 local model information (such as the model file address of NWDAF3), so that NWDAF2 can update the NWDAF2 model based on this information; that is, NWDAF2 and NWDAF3 establish a federated learning relationship.

[0255] Step 512: If NWDAF1 no longer needs to obtain the model from NWDAF2 (for example, NWDAF1 transfers all analysis to NWDAF3), NWDAF1 initiates a Nnwdaf_ModelProvision_UnSubscribe (cancel model subscription) request to NWDAF2 to cancel the subscription to the updated model from NWDAF2.

[0256] In the above embodiments, during the transfer process of network analysis, the source NWDAF provides the model currently used by the network analysis being transferred or the information of the model provider to the target NWDAF, so that the target NWDAF can obtain a model suitable for the network analysis being transferred, thereby obtaining the desired network analysis performance (such as analysis accuracy), and avoiding or reducing the time required for the target NWDAF to train a new analysis model for the analysis transfer, thereby improving the success rate of the analysis transfer.
