Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a wireless network control method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), the Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) controls E2 nodes through the E2 interface based on the functions exposed by the E2 nodes, thereby optimizing RAN radio resources. The E2 Service Model provides a series of RAN function exposure services, including Report, Insert, Control, and Policy services. The Insert service is triggered when an E2 node suspends normal functions based on information subscribed to by the Near-RT RIC; the Control service is when the Near-RT RIC requests the RAN to perform specified actions according to control messages.

[0003] In existing technologies, the Near-RT RIC and E2 nodes only support isolated single-action control methods for Insert and Control operations, which is difficult to meet the application requirements in complex scenarios of Radio Resource Management (RRM) optimization, thus hindering the real-time performance of Near-RT RIC's radio resource management.

In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.

[0212] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0213] In various embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the sequence number of each process described below does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0214] In this embodiment of the invention, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0215] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0216] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0217] Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a wireless network control method and apparatus that solve the problem that existing control methods only support isolated single actions between Near-RT RIC and E2 nodes, leading to a complex wireless resource management process.

[0218] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless network control method applied to Near-RT RIC, specifically including the following steps:

[0219] Step 11: The Near-Real-Time Radio Access Network Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) sends a first message to the network node. The first message includes first related information of K actions corresponding to the target service. The network node is the network node controlled by the Near-Real-Time Radio Access Network Intelligent Controller.

[0220] Step 12: The near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller receives a second message sent by the network node, the second message being control-related information for the K actions; wherein K is greater than or equal to 1.

[0221] The network node is an E2 node. The Near-RT RIC can control the E2 node through the E2 interface to optimize RAN radio resources. When controlling the E2 node, the Near-RT RIC can send a first message to the E2 node. This first message includes information related to multiple control actions; that is, the Near-RT RIC can simultaneously send information related to multiple actions to the E2 node. After receiving the first message, the E2 node executes the operation corresponding to the first message and feeds back a second message to the Near-RT RIC. The second message includes control-related information for the multiple actions. In other words, the E2 node can simultaneously feed back control-related information for multiple actions to the Near-RT RIC, thereby achieving multi-action control between the Near-RT RIC and the E2 node.

[0222] The target services include, for example, Insert service and Control service. Taking Insert service as an example, Near-RT RIC optimizes the Insert process. Near-RT RIC can send information related to multiple Insert actions to E2 nodes at once, subscribing to the Insert service. E2 nodes execute corresponding Insert operations based on the information of multiple Insert actions and send action instructions for multiple Insert actions back to Near-RT RIC, requesting Near-RT RIC to optimize and control the original process of the E2 node. For example, it can simultaneously modify the Quality of Service (QoS) of the Data Radio Bearer (DRB) and map QoS flows to the DRB, improving radio resource utilization and achieving the goal of ensuring users' QoS requirements.

[0223] Taking the target service as the Control service as an example, Near-RT RIC optimizes the Control service. Near-RT RIC can send information related to multiple Control actions to the E2 node at once, requesting control over multiple actions on the E2 node. After receiving the first message, the E2 node returns the corresponding execution results for the multiple Control actions, so that Near-RT RIC can perform subsequent control optimization processing.

[0224] In embodiments of the present invention, a near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller (NRRC) sends a first message containing multiple actions corresponding to a target service to the network nodes it controls. Based on the first message, the network nodes send a second message containing multiple actions back to the NRRC intelligent controller. This enables the NRRC intelligent controller to control the multiple actions of the network nodes, enhancing and optimizing the control method for target services in the radio resource management process within the intelligent architecture of the wireless network. It allows Near-RT RIC to support a target service control optimization process based on multiple control actions to guide network nodes in achieving RRM optimization goals, improving the control efficiency and timeliness of Near-RT RIC, avoiding potential conflicts caused by asynchronous resource configurations, and enhancing its applicability in complex RAN resource configuration optimization scenarios.

[0225] The following uses Insert service and Control service as examples to illustrate the implementation process of the wireless network control method in this embodiment of the invention.

[0226] As an optional embodiment, the target service is an insertion service, and the first message is a RIC subscription request message for subscribing to the insertion service; the first related information includes: action definition and the triggering event of the action, wherein the action definition indicates the parameter information of the insertion instruction message corresponding to the K actions.

[0227] The second message is the insertion instruction message; the insertion instruction message is used to request the near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller to control the network node to perform K actions.

[0228] In this embodiment, the target service is an Insert service, and the first message is a RIC Subscription Request message, used to subscribe to the Insert service from the network node. The RIC Subscription Request message includes information related to multiple actions corresponding to the subscription service, such as action definitions and triggering events. The action definitions are used to indicate insertion indication messages for multiple actions (e.g., Insert Indication Actions). After receiving the subscription request message, the network node detects the triggering events. Upon detecting a triggering event, it stops the ongoing operation, executes the Insert service, and sends an insertion indication message back to the Near-RT RIC, requesting the Near-RT RIC to perform multi-action control optimization, thereby realizing an Insert service based on multiple actions.

[0229] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, it may include:

[0230] Step 1: Near-RT RIC first subscribes to the Insert service, that is, it sends a subscription request message to the E2 node, providing subscription-related information, such as subscribing to the Insert action triggered by a given event, where the ActionDefinition specifies the multiple Insert Indication Actions triggered and related parameters.

[0231] The action definition may include at least one of the following:

[0232] The number of actions indicated by the Insert Indication Action Item;

[0233] Insert Indication ID;

[0234] List of RAN parameters for InsertIndication message;

[0235] The number of RAN parameter items for Insert Indication messages;

[0236] RAN Parameter ID.

[0237] It should be noted that the action definitions of multiple actions can be presented in the form of a list, that is, a list of information related to multiple actions (List of Insert Indication Actions), which includes the information content corresponding to each action. The action definition may include one or more of the above information content, and may also include other information content, such as: UE ID. The number of actions indicated by the insertion indication message can be a range, for example, from 1 to the maximum number of insertion actions; the number of RAN parameters in the insertion indication message can also be a range, for example, from 1 to the maximum number of associated RAN parameters.

[0238] In this embodiment, taking a list of action definitions for multiple actions as an example, the action definitions can be as shown in Table 1:

[0239] Table 1: New definition of the action definition information element (IE):

[0240]

[0241]

[0242] In Table 1 above, "M" indicates mandatory existence, and "O" indicates optional existence; in the range column of "Action List for Inserting Instruction Message", "1" indicates that the list needs to be included.

[0243] ">", ">>", ">>>", ">>>>", etc., indicate the hierarchy of information items. For example, "Number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message" is the next level below "Action list of the insertion instruction message", meaning that the action list of the insertion instruction message includes the number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message; "Insert instruction message identifier" and "RAN parameter list of the insertion instruction message" are the next level below "Number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message", with the insertion instruction message identifier including the identifier of each action indicated by the insertion instruction message; "Number of RAN parameters of the insertion instruction message" indicates the next level below "RAN parameter list of the insertion instruction message", meaning that the RAN parameter list includes the number of RAN parameters; "RAN parameter identifier" indicates the next level below "Number of RAN parameters of the insertion instruction message", meaning that the RAN parameter identifier includes the identifier of each RAN parameter of the insertion instruction message. The message hierarchy in the other lists in this embodiment of the invention follows the same pattern, and will not be elaborated here.

[0244] Table 1 provides the range constraints for the number of actions indicated by the insertion indication message and the number of RAN parameters for the insertion indication message. The definitions of each range constraint are shown in Table 2.

[0245] Table 2:

[0246]

[0247] Step 2: Based on the subscription request message, the E2 Node sends a subscription response to the Near-RT RIC. The subscription response includes the actions accepted by the E2 Node. For example, a list of accepted actions (which may include action identifiers).

[0248] Step 3: The E2 Node executes the corresponding Insert operation based on the multiple control action information provided by the subscription. This involves trigger event detection. Upon detecting a trigger event, such as a change in radio resources (e.g., UE context, bearer context) or the need for establishment, the normally executing functional process is paused. According to the instructions in the Action Definition, the corresponding Insert Indication Actions are triggered. These Insert Indication Actions can carry multiple control actions, requesting the Near-RT RIC to optimize the E2 Node's original process. For example, it can simultaneously perform DRB QoS modification and QoS flow mapping to the DRB, improving radio resource utilization and ensuring user QoS requirements.

[0249] The insertion indication message includes: a first information element and a second information element; the first information element is, for example, a RIC Indication Header IE, and the second information element is, for example, a RIC Indication Message IE. The first information element includes: the terminal identifier (UE ID) corresponding to the network node and the insertion type (RIC Insert Style Type) of the K actions, as shown in Table 3.

[0250] Table 3: New definition of RIC Indication Header for Insert Services in IE:

[0251]

[0252]

[0253] The second information element may include at least one of the following:

[0254] The number of actions indicated by the Insert Indication Action Item;

[0255] Insert Indication ID;

[0256] List of RAN parameters requested;

[0257] The number of RAN parameters requested.

[0258] RAN Parameter ID;

[0259] RAN Parameter Value Type.

[0260] The RIC Indication Message IE can include one or more of the above information. The RIC Indication Message IEs for multiple actions can be implemented in the form of a list, that is, the second information elements corresponding to multiple actions are formed into a list, such as the list of Insert IndicationActions. The list can be as shown in Table 4:

[0261] Table 4: Newly Defined RIC Indication Message (IE):

[0262]

[0263]

[0264] Table 4 above shows the range of the number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message and the number of requested RAN parameters. The range of the number of parameters can be defined as shown in Table 5:

[0265] Table 5:

[0266]

[0267] In Table 4, the "List of Insert Indication Message Actions" indicates that multiple Insert Actions can be supported under a given Insert Style, and each Insert Action is identified by an Insert Indication ID. The "RAN Parameter List" lists the types of configuration parameters that may be carried under this Insert Action. Since the definition of an Insert Indication Action under a certain Insert Style corresponds one-to-one with a Control Action, it essentially informs the Near-RT RIC what control commands and parameters the E2 Node needs at this time, for subsequent Control Actions to flexibly configure resource optimization parameters.

[0268] In this embodiment, the E2 node subscription process is configured with an Insert operation based on multiple control actions. Based on the Insert operation required for the subscription, the E2 Node pauses its normal process after a specified event is triggered. Then, according to the Insert operation indicated by the multiple InsertIndication IDs and related RAN parameters, it triggers an Insert message to request the specified control action and parameter configuration from the Near-RT RIC. To support multiple InsertActions in radio resource control during this Insert process, the key information elements RIC Indication HeaderIE and RIC Indication Message IE in step 3 of the RIC Indication message can be organized as shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. Based on the above process and message mechanism, the Near-RT RIC can subscribe to the Insert service, causing the E2 Node to pause its process in a certain functional entity and simultaneously inform the Near-RT RIC of multiple subsequent executable optimization control actions. This facilitates the Near-RT RIC in performing RAN resource analysis and providing optimized control operations for radio resource configuration, achieving the goal of intelligent RRM optimization control.

[0269] The above describes the wireless network control method when the target service is Insert service. The following describes the wireless network control method when the target service is Control service.

[0270] As an optional embodiment, the target service is a control service, and the first message is a control request message for requesting control services for the network node; the first related information includes control information for the K actions. The second message is a control confirmation message corresponding to the control request message; the control confirmation message includes the execution result of the network node for each of the K actions.

[0271] It should be noted that the Control service can be triggered by the control action of an Insert request or by an internal trigger within the Near-RT RIC. Optionally, sending the first message to the network node includes: if the triggering condition is met, the Near-RT RIC sends the first message to the network node; the triggering condition includes at least one of the following: the RIC receives insertion indication information sent by the network node (i.e., the control action of an Insert request triggers the Control process); the RIC detects an internal triggering event (i.e., the Near-RT RIC internally triggers the Control process), which will be described below.

[0272] I. Taking the Control service triggered by Insert as an example, as follows: Figure 3As shown, it includes:

[0273] Step 1: Based on the Insert-related information requested during the subscription process, the E2 Node triggers an Insert operation and sends an InsertIndication message with multiple Insert actions (Action 1, Action 2, ...) to the Near-RT RIC. It can also carry the RIC Call Process ID to identify the process breakpoint that is paused inside the E2 Node.

[0274] Step 2: Based on the information provided by the Insert Indication and the specific RRM target, the Near-RT RIC executes the action corresponding to the Insert Indication message to configure the radio resource optimization command.

[0275] Step 3: Near-RT RIC sends a Control Request message to the E2 Node. Based on the multiple actions given by Insert, it provides feedback on whether each action is accepted. The Control Message contains multiple Control Actions (Control Action 1, Control Action 2, ...) configured synchronously, and identifies the process breakpoint in the E2 Node by carrying the RIC CallProcess ID. Through the control actions indicated by the Control Action and the carried RAN parameters, the radio resource allocation is optimized for this process.

[0276] It should be noted that when the Near-RT RIC does not accept the Action specified in the Insert, the RAN parameter can be omitted, meaning that no optimization configuration is performed for that action.

[0277] The control information for the actions includes a third information element and a fourth information element. The third information element can be a RIC Control Header IE, and the fourth information element can be a RIC Control Message IE. The third information element includes: the terminal identifier (UE ID) corresponding to the network node and the control service type (RIC Style Type) of the K actions to be controlled, as shown in Table 6.

[0278] Table 6: New definition of RIC Control Header IE:

[0279]

[0280] The fourth information element may include at least one of the following:

[0281] Control the number of actions (Control Action Item);

[0282] Control Action ID;

[0283] RIC Control Decision;

[0284] List of RAN parameters;

[0285] Number of RAN parameters (RAN parameter item);

[0286] RAN Parameter ID;

[0287] RAN Parameter Value Type.

[0288] It should be noted that the RIC Control Message IE can be presented in list form, that is, the control information of multiple actions is formed into a list, such as a List of Control Actions, which includes the information content corresponding to each action. The action definition can include one or more of the above information content, and can also include other information content, which is not limited here. The number of control actions can be a range, for example, from 1 to the maximum number of control actions; the number of RAN parameters can also be a range, for example, from 1 to the maximum number of associated RAN parameters. The fourth information element can be as shown in Table 7.

[0289] Table 7: New definition of RIC Control Message in IE:

[0290]

[0291]

[0292] In Table 7, "RAN Parameter Identifier" and "RAN Parameter Value Type" are the next level below "RAN Parameter Quantity". The RAN Parameter Identifier includes the identifier of each RAN parameter, and the RAN Parameter Value Type includes the type of each RAN parameter value. The "RAN Parameter Quantity" item gives the limit range of the number of RAN parameters.

[0293] Table 7 above provides the range constraints for the number of control actions and the number of RAN parameters. The definitions of each range constraint are shown in Table 8.

[0294] Table 8:

[0295]

[0296] In the RIC Control Message, the List of Control Actions indicates that multiple Control Actions can be encapsulated within a given ControlStyle, with each Control Action identified by a Control Action ID. For each Control Action, the RIC Control decision indicates whether to accept the Control Action indicated by the InsertIndication ID carried in the Indication message when it is used as a response to the Insert service; the List of RAN parameters lists the configuration parameters that may be carried under this Control Action. It is worth noting that when the RIC Control decision is "reject," it means that the Control Action is not accepted by the Near-RT RIC and does not need to carry RAN Parameters.

[0297] Step 4: The E2 Node receives the control request message and can synchronously provide feedback on the corresponding execution results for each control action in the multiple actions. It sends a control acknowledgement (RIC Control Acknowledge) message to the Near-RT RIC so that the Near-RT RIC can perform subsequent processing.

[0298] In step 4, the E2 Node receives the RIC Control Request message, determines whether to execute the corresponding operation, and feeds back the control execution result (Control Outcome) for multiple Control Actions in the RIC Control Acknowledge message. That is, the Control Outcome IE can carry the result of the Control command execution feedback. The control confirmation message may include at least one of the following:

[0299] Control Action Outcome Item;

[0300] Control Action ID;

[0301] RAN Parameter List (Sequence of RAN Parameters);

[0302] Number of RAN parameters (RAN Parameter Item);

[0303] RAN Parameter ID;

[0304] RAN Parameter Value type.

[0305] In this embodiment, the control confirmation message (i.e., the control execution result) may include one or more of the above information. The control information of multiple actions contained in the control confirmation message can be implemented in the form of a list, such as a list of control action results, as shown in Table 9:

[0306] Table 9: New definition of Control Outcome:

[0307]

[0308]

[0309] Optionally, if the network node accepts the execution of the target action, the RAN parameter list carries the received timestamp of the target action.

[0310] If the network node accepts to execute at least one of the K actions, the second message is the control confirmation message corresponding to the control request message.

[0311] In this embodiment, for each Control Action, if the E2 Node accepts the operation, it carries the Received Timestamp parameter (and possibly other parameters) in the Sequence of RAN Parameters in step 4 above; if it does not support a Control Action, it does not need to include the Control Action ID and related parameters. For all Control Actions, the E2 Node must accept at least one Control Action before sending back the control confirmation message; that is, the control confirmation message must include at least one accepted action. If the E2 Node does not accept any actions, it sends back a Control Failure (RIC Control Failure) message.

[0312] II. Taking the Control service triggered internally by Near-RT RIC as an example, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0313] Step 1: The Near-RT RIC detects an internally triggered event (e.g., determined based on relevant RAN resource measurement results reported by the E2 Node);

[0314] Step 2: Near-RT RIC performs corresponding actions and configures radio resource optimization control commands based on specific RRM optimization goals;

[0315] Step 3: Near-RT RIC sends a control request message to the E2 Node. The Control Message contains multiple Control Actions (Control Action 1, Control Action 2, ...) configured synchronously. Through the control actions indicated by the Control Actions and the RAN parameters carried, the RIC optimizes the radio resource configuration for the E2 Node.

[0316] It should be noted that since the control command is triggered internally by the Near-RT RIC and is unrelated to the Insert process, there is no need to provide feedback on the RIC control decision IE for the Insert action, nor is it necessary to carry the Call Process ID.

[0317] Step 4: The E2 Node accepts the control request, provides feedback on the execution result of each control action in the multi-action sequence, and sends a RIC Control Acknowledge message to the Near-RT RIC for further processing.

[0318] The key information elements RIC Control Header, RIC Control Message, and RIC Control Outcome IE in the above control flow are the same as the information content and composition shown in Table 6-9 in (I), and will not be repeated here.

[0319] This embodiment, based on multi-action wireless network control optimization, can enable the synchronous configuration of multiple control actions and provide feedback on the execution results of multiple control actions simultaneously. This can effectively improve the timeliness and effectiveness of the wireless resource management configuration process and reduce the risk of conflicts caused by asynchronous transmission of control action requests and feedback messages.

[0320] The following examples illustrate the application process of wireless network control methods for control services under different triggering conditions.

[0321] Example 1: Application process of RBC control that triggers multiple actions internally by Near-RT RIC.

[0322] To specify the Control services, E2 SM-RC defines several Control Service Styles as detailed RRM functions. Control services primarily target traffic steering and QoS optimization use cases, such as Style 1: Radio Bearer Control, Style 2: Radio Resource allocation control, and Style 3: Connected Mode Mobility control. This embodiment focuses on configuring Style 1: Radio Bearer Control.

[0323] For each Control Style, finer-grained Control Actions can be defined to implement control. For example, RBC defines 7 Control Actions as shown in Table 10:

[0324] Table 10: Control Actions Supported by Style 1-RBC

[0325]

[0326]

[0327] For multiple Control Actions, each Control Action corresponds to relevant RAN Parameters. The Near-RT RIC configures the values ​​of these parameters and encapsulates them in the RIC Control Message IE of the control request message before sending them to the E2 Node. The E2 Node receives the corresponding Control Action and the configured parameters, executes the corresponding process, and completes the optimization goals guided by the Near-RT RIC.

[0328] Assuming that the control request command is initiated independently within the Near-RT RIC and does not involve the Insert service process:

[0329] 1) The Near-RT RIC internal process initiates the control process by sending a RIC Control Request message, which includes the RIC Request ID, RAN Function ID, RIC Control Header, and RIC Control Message IE. The RIC Control Header can be shown in Table 11.

[0330] Table 11: Details of RBC Control Service RIC Control Header:

[0331]

[0332] As shown in Table 11, when the E2 Node is connected to the 5GC as a whole gNB, the UE ID can be a specified identifier, such as: Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) UE NG Application Protocol (NGAP) identifier, and Globally Unique AMFIdentifier (GUAMI), that is, the UE ID is: AMF UE NGAP ID + GUAMI.

[0333] The RIC Control Message can be shown in Table 12:

[0334] Table 12: Details of RBC Control Message:

[0335]

[0336]

[0337] The mapping relationship of Control Action ID is shown in Table 10. In Table 12, "Control Action Item 0" is item 0 in the number of control actions (RAN parameter item). Assuming that the number of control actions is 5, then the number of items is 0 to 4. Control Action Item 0 is the "0"th item in the list, and Control Action Item 1 is the "1"th item in the list.

[0338] In this Control Message, for Control Service Style 1: Radio Bearer Control, two Control Actions are configured simultaneously: DRB QoS configuration and QoS Flow mapping; each Control Action contains its own configured parameters.

[0339] 2) After receiving the RIC Control Request message, the E2 Node can locate the target functional entity based on the RANFunction ID carried in the message, start the relevant process according to the specific control commands and control parameters in the RIC Control Header and Control Message, and synchronously execute the relevant control actions to achieve optimized configuration of radio resources. This embodiment can optimize radio bearer control to meet QoS optimization indicators, and can feed back the RIC Control Acknowledge message to the Near-RT RIC for the execution result of each Control Action.

[0340] Example 2: Application process of RBC control that triggers multiple actions by Insert.

[0341] Assuming the Insert command triggers a Control Request from Near-RT RIC, the key information elements contained in the Insert Indication Message are shown in Tables 13 and 14:

[0342] Table 13: Details of the RBC Insert Service RIC Indication Header:

[0343]

[0344] Table 14: Details of RBC Insert Service RIC Indication Message:

[0345]

[0346]

[0347] In Table 14, "Action Item 0 indicated by Insert Indication Message" is item 0 in the number of actions indicated by Insert Indication Message. Assuming the number of control actions is 5, then the number of items is 0 to 4. Action Item 0 indicated by Insert Indication Message is the "0"th item in the list, and Action Item 1 indicated by Insert Indication Message is the "1"th item in the list.

[0348] In this Indication Message, for Insert Service Style 1: Radio BearerControl Request, two actions are requested to be synchronously configured in the subsequent Control service: DRB QoS configuration request and QoS Flow mapping configuration request; the InsertIndication Action configured for each request contains the parameters configured in the request.

[0349] The control procedure triggered by this Insert message can provide corresponding configuration values ​​based on the control action requested in the Insert message. The specific content of the RIC Control Message can be organized as shown in Table 15. Compared to the control procedure triggered internally by the Near-RT RIC, for each Control Action, the RIC Control decision indicates whether to accept the control action requested in the Insert message. If not accepted, the RIC Control decision can be configured as reject, and then the corresponding RAN parameters do not need to be carried.

[0350] Table 15: Details of RBC Control Message:

[0351]

[0352]

[0353] In Table 15, “Control Action Item 0” is item 0 in the number of control actions (RAN parameters item). Assuming the number of control actions is 5, then the number of items is 0 to 4. Control Action Item 0 is the “0”th item, and Control Action Item 1 is the “1”th item.

[0354] Optionally, for some Control Services that do not support configuring multiple Control Actions simultaneously, only a single Control Action needs to be included in the control action list. For example, Control Style 3: Connected Mode Mobility includes three possible Control Actions: Handover control, conditional handover control, and Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) handover control. Since these three types of handover control cannot be configured simultaneously, Near-RT RIC only needs to configure a single Control Action and its parameters.

[0355] This embodiment optimizes the Insert and Control processes in the existing intelligent wireless network architecture to support multi-action control optimization methods: 1) it implements optimization of the Insert process and message mechanism based on multiple actions; 2) it implements optimization of the control process and message mechanism based on multiple actions (including control request and control result feedback processes).

[0356] In embodiments of the present invention, the Near Real-Time Radio Access Network (NRART) Intelligent Controller (RIC) sends a first message containing multiple actions corresponding to a target service to the network nodes it controls. Based on the first message, the network nodes send a second message containing multiple actions back to the RIC, thereby enabling the RIC to control the network nodes' multiple actions. This enhances and optimizes the control method for target services in the radio resource management (RRM) process within the intelligent architecture of the wireless network. It allows Near-RT RIC to support a target service control optimization process based on multiple control actions to guide network nodes in achieving RRM optimization goals, improving Near-RT RIC control efficiency and optimization timeliness. It avoids conflicts that may be caused by asynchronous resource configurations, enhances applicability in complex RAN resource configuration optimization scenarios, and the multi-action-based control optimization method can adapt to a wider range of use case requirements and meet complex RRM optimization goals.

[0357] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a wireless network control method applied to a network node, wherein the network node can be an E2 node, comprising:

[0358] Step 51: The network node receives a first message sent by the near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller. The first message includes first related information of K actions corresponding to the target service. The near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller is the controller corresponding to the network node.

[0359] Step 52: The network node sends a second message to the near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller based on the first message. The second message contains control-related information for the K actions, where K is greater than or equal to 1.

[0360] In this embodiment, the network node is an E2 node. The Near-RT RIC can control the E2 node through the E2 interface to achieve RAN radio resource optimization. When controlling the E2 node, the Near-RT RIC can send a first message to the E2 node. This first message includes information related to multiple control actions; that is, the Near-RT RIC can simultaneously send information related to multiple actions to the E2 node. After receiving the first message, the E2 node executes the operation corresponding to the first message and feeds back a second message to the Near-RT RIC. The second message includes control-related information for the multiple actions. In other words, the E2 node can simultaneously feed back control-related information for multiple actions to the Near-RT RIC, thereby achieving multi-action control between the Near-RT RIC and the E2 node.

[0361] The target services include, for example, Insert service and Control service. Taking Insert service as an example, Near-RT RIC optimizes the Insert process. Near-RT RIC can send information related to multiple Insert actions to E2 nodes at once, subscribing to the Insert service. E2 nodes execute corresponding Insert operations based on the information of multiple Insert actions and send action instructions for multiple Insert actions back to Near-RT RIC, requesting Near-RT RIC to optimize and control the original process of the E2 node. For example, it can simultaneously modify the Quality of Service (QoS) of the Data Radio Bearer (DRB) and map QoS flows to the DRB, improving radio resource utilization and achieving the goal of ensuring users' QoS requirements.

[0362] Taking the target service as the Control service as an example, Near-RT RIC optimizes the Control service. Near-RT RIC can send information related to multiple Control actions to the E2 node at once, requesting control over multiple actions on the E2 node. After receiving the first message, the E2 node returns the corresponding execution results for the multiple Control actions, so that Near-RT RIC can perform subsequent control optimization processing.

[0363] As an optional embodiment, the target service is an insertion service, and the first message is a RIC subscription request message for subscribing to the insertion service;

[0364] The first relevant information includes: action definition and the triggering event of the action, wherein the action definition indicates the parameter information of the insertion instruction message corresponding to the K actions.

[0365] The second message is the insertion instruction message; the insertion instruction message is used to request the RIC to control the network node to perform K actions.

[0366] In this embodiment, the target service is an Insert service, and the first message is a RIC subscription request message, used to subscribe to the Insert service from the network node. The RIC subscription request message includes information related to multiple actions corresponding to the subscription service, such as action definitions and triggering events. The action definitions are used to indicate insertion indication messages for multiple actions (e.g., Insert Indication Actions). After receiving the subscription request message, the network node detects the triggering events. When a triggering event is detected, the ongoing operation is stopped, the Insert service is executed, and an insertion indication message is sent back to the Near-RT RIC, requesting the Near-RT RIC to perform multi-action control optimization, thereby realizing an Insert service based on multiple actions.

[0367] Optionally, the action definition includes at least one of the following:

[0368] The number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message;

[0369] Insert an instruction message identifier;

[0370] Insert the RAN parameter list for the instruction message;

[0371] The number of RAN parameters inserted into the indication message;

[0372] RAN parameter identifier.

[0373] Optionally, the insertion instruction message includes: a first information element and a second information element;

[0374] The first information element includes: the terminal identifier corresponding to the network node and the insertion type of the K actions;

[0375] The second information element includes at least one of the following:

[0376] The number of actions indicated by the insertion instruction message;

[0377] Insert an instruction message identifier;

[0378] The requested list of RAN parameters;

[0379] The number of RAN parameters requested;

[0380] RAN parameter identifier;

[0381] RAN parameter value type.

[0382] When the target service is the Insert service, the implementation process of the wireless network control method of this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it will not be elaborated upon here.

[0383] As an optional embodiment, the target service is a control service, and the first message is a control request message for requesting control services for the network node;

[0384] The first relevant information includes: control information for the K actions.

[0385] Optionally, the second message is a control confirmation message corresponding to the control request message;

[0386] The control confirmation message includes the execution result of the network node for each of the K actions.

[0387] In this embodiment, the Control service can be triggered by a control action of an Insert request or by an internal trigger within the Near-RT RIC. Optionally, the step of feeding back a second message to the RIC based on the first message includes: detecting a trigger event based on the first message; if a trigger event is detected, stopping the currently executing function operation, and feeding back the second message to the RIC based on the action definition.

[0388] Optionally, the control information includes: a third information element and a fourth information element;

[0389] The third information element includes: the terminal identifier corresponding to the network node and the control service type of the K actions that need to be controlled;

[0390] The fourth information element includes at least one of the following:

[0391] Control the number of actions;

[0392] Control action identifier;

[0393] RIC control decision;

[0394] RAN parameter list;

[0395] Number of RAN parameters;

[0396] RAN parameter identifier;

[0397] RAN parameter value type.

[0398] Optionally, the control confirmation message includes at least one of the following:

[0399] Control the number of action results;

[0400] Control action identifier;

[0401] RAN parameter list;

[0402] Number of RAN parameters;

[0403] RAN parameter identifier;

[0404] RAN parameter value type.

[0405] The implementation process of the Control service when triggered by Insert is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the implementation process of the Control service being triggered internally by the Near-RT RIC is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it will not be elaborated upon here.

[0406] Optionally, if the network node accepts the execution of the target action, the RAN parameter list carries the receiving timestamp of the target action.

[0407] If the network node accepts to execute at least one of the K actions, the second message is the control confirmation message corresponding to the control request message.

[0408] In this embodiment, for each control action, if the E2 Node accepts and executes an action, it carries the parameter Received Timestamp in the shown RAN parameter list; if it does not support a certain Control Action, it does not need to include the Control Action ID and related parameters. For all Control Actions, the E2 Node must accept at least one Control Action before sending back the control confirmation message; that is, the control confirmation message must include at least one accepted action. If the E2 Node does not accept any actions, it sends back a Control Failure message.

[0409] In embodiments of the present invention, a near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller (NRRC) sends a first message containing multiple actions corresponding to a target service to the network nodes it controls. Based on the first message, the network nodes send a second message containing multiple actions back to the NRRC intelligent controller. This enables the NRRC intelligent controller to control the multiple actions of the network nodes, enhancing and optimizing the control method for target services in the radio resource management process within the intelligent architecture of the wireless network. It allows Near-RT RIC to support a target service control optimization process based on multiple control actions to guide network nodes in achieving RRM optimization goals, improving the control efficiency and timeliness of Near-RT RIC, avoiding potential conflicts caused by asynchronous resource configurations, and enhancing its applicability in complex RAN resource configuration optimization scenarios.

[0410] It should be noted that all embodiments involving network nodes in the above embodiments applied to Near-RT RIC are also applicable to the embodiments applied to network nodes and can achieve the same technical effect, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0411] The above embodiments describe the positioning method of the present invention. The following embodiments will further describe the corresponding devices in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0412] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the wireless network control device 600 of this embodiment of the invention is applied to a near real-time wireless access network intelligent controller, and includes:

[0413] The first sending unit 610 is used to send a first message to a network node. The first message includes first related information of K actions corresponding to the target service.
