Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus, and functional entity. Background Technology

[0002] 5G is applied to a wide variety of industries, and the business continuity and reliability requirements of different B2B businesses are different.

[0003] Existing 5GC (5G core network) network elements generally have two backup mechanisms:

[0004] 1) Full Backup: The Network Function (NF) backs up all its data to another NF. When the NF in use fails, the backup NF can take over the service. For example, with SMF (Session Management Function) backup, the user IP remains unchanged, the service continues, and the user experience is not affected. However, this method will double the purchase of equipment, resulting in high costs and an increase in the number of network elements to be maintained and managed. Currently, most services do not have business continuity requirements, so the return on investment is not high.

[0005] 2) No backup: NF does not back up data. When an NF in use fails, the original sessions on the NF are not backed up, and services are affected. This can lead to service disruption. For example, if an SMF fails, services may trigger session rebuilding, user IP addresses may change, services may experience lag or rebuilding, affecting some applications and impacting user experience.

[0006] As can be seen from the above, existing information processing solutions for backup mechanisms cannot avoid resource waste and high costs while ensuring user experience. Summary of the Invention

It provides an information processing method applied to a first network functional entity (which can be implemented as a server-side NF), such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0229] Step 11: Determine the service type of the service to be processed based on the first identifier information of the service to be processed;

[0230] Step 12: Perform the corresponding operation according to the business type; wherein, performing the corresponding operation includes: performing a backup operation, or not performing a backup operation; the first identification information can be used to identify business capabilities.

[0231] Specifically, the first identification information is a key identifier that can distinguish NF services, and may include at least one of the following: slice information, data network name, and number segment information, without limitation. Number segment information is the user identifier (such as General Public User Identifier (SUPI) set information or General Public User Identifier (GPSI) set information).

[0232] The information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention determines the service type of the service to be processed based on the first identification information of the service to be processed; and performs corresponding operations according to the service type; wherein, performing corresponding operations includes: performing a backup operation, or not performing a backup operation; the first identification information can be used to identify service capabilities; it can realize the differentiation of services and backup and disaster recovery on demand when multiple services share a single network; thereby maximizing resource savings and reducing costs while ensuring high reliability and not affecting user experience; it effectively solves the problems of existing information processing schemes for backup mechanisms that cannot avoid resource waste and high costs while ensuring user experience.

[0233] The service types include: a first type belonging to the target service and a second type not belonging to the target service; the step of performing corresponding operations according to the service type includes: performing a corresponding backup operation when the service type is the first type; and not performing a backup operation when the service type is the second type; wherein the target service is a service whose corresponding reliability parameter value is greater than a first threshold and / or whose continuity parameter value is greater than a second threshold.

[0234] This facilitates differentiated backup and disaster recovery. The first type of business can be understood as special business, and the second type of business can be understood as regular business.

[0235] Furthermore, the information processing method further includes: sending first capability information of the first network function entity and second identification information of the network function entity for backup to the network registration function entity; and / or, sending the first capability information of the first network function entity and the second identification information of the network function entity for backup to the surrounding network elements of the first network function entity via an accompanying instruction message; the surrounding network elements include a second network function entity that communicates with the first network function entity; wherein the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity is capable of handling the first type of service and the second type of service.

[0236] This allows for flexible notification of relevant information about the first network function entity. The operation of sending information to the network registration function entity can correspond to the service registration process. In this embodiment, for network function devices that only support regular services (i.e., the second type of service), information indicating the ability to handle the second type of service can be sent; this is not limited here. The first network function entity can correspond to the server, and the second network function entity can correspond to the client. The "accompanying instruction message" can be an existing interaction message (specifically, the "accompanying instruction message" can be the initial interaction message and / or update message). Regarding "sending first capability information and second identification information via the accompanying instruction message," this can be achieved by adding (at least) one field to the existing interaction message. The second identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0237] The number of second network function entities included in the peripheral network element is at least one, or at least two; the second network function entity can be a function entity that meets the service capabilities of the above-mentioned target service; in addition, when "the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle the first type of service and the second type of service", the first network function entity can handle the first type of service alone, handle the second type of service alone, or handle the first type of service and the second type of service simultaneously; no limitation is made here.

[0238] In this embodiment of the invention, the information processing method further includes: determining second capability information of the first network function entity corresponding to the first service and third identification information of the network function entity used for backup; updating the first capability information according to the second capability information and updating the second identification information according to the third identification information; sending the second capability information and the third identification information to the network registration function entity; and / or sending the second capability information and the third identification information to the surrounding network elements of the first network function entity through an accompanying instruction message; wherein, the first service is a newly added service of the first type.

[0239] This enables the backup and disaster recovery needs of new services to be met without adding network elements; that is, adding special services without adding network elements. The third identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but it is not limited to these. Regarding sending information (such as the second capability information and the third identification information) through "in-path command messages", it can be achieved by adding (at least) one field to the existing interaction message; for details on "in-path command messages", please refer to the relevant explanations above, which will not be repeated here.

[0240] Furthermore, the information processing method further includes: defining a first field and a first file for the first type of service, and a second field and a second file for the second type of service; and obtaining the first capability information of the first network function entity based on the first field, the first file, the second field, and the second file.

[0241] This allows for the preparation of Virtual Network Elements (VNFs).

[0242] This invention also provides an information processing method applied to a network register function entity, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0243] Step 21: Receive the first capability information of the first network function entity and the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup, sent by the first network function entity;

[0244] Step 22: Register the first network function entity according to the first capability information and the second identification information; wherein, the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle a first type of service and a second type of service; or, the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle the second type of service; the first type indicates that the service belongs to the target service, and the second type indicates that the service does not belong to the target service; the target service is the service whose corresponding reliability parameter value is greater than a first threshold and / or continuity parameter value is greater than a second threshold.

[0245] Step 22 may further include sending the first capability information and / or the second identification information to the second network function entity; however, it is not limited thereto. The second identification information may be an instance identifier (NFinstanceid) of the network function entity used for backup or a domain name (FQDN) of the network function entity used for backup, but it is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in the case where "the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity is capable of handling the first type of service and the second type of service," the first network function entity may handle the first type of service alone, handle the second type of service alone, or handle the first type of service and the second type of service simultaneously; this is not limited here.

[0246] The information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention receives first capability information of a first network function entity and second identification information of a network function entity for backup, sent by a first network function entity; registers the first network function entity according to the first capability information and the second identification information; wherein, the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle a first type of service and a second type of service; or, the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle the second type of service; the first type indicates that the service belongs to the target service, and the second type indicates that the service does not belong to the target service; the target service is a service whose corresponding reliability parameter value is greater than a first threshold and / or continuity parameter value is greater than a second threshold; it can support the realization of distinguishing services and performing backup and disaster recovery on demand when multiple services share a network; thereby maximizing resource saving and reducing costs while ensuring high reliability and not affecting user experience; it effectively solves the problems of existing information processing schemes for backup mechanisms that cannot avoid resource waste and high costs while ensuring user experience.

[0247] Furthermore, the information processing method further includes: receiving second capability information and third identification information sent by the first network function entity; updating the first capability information according to the second capability information, and updating the second identification information according to the third identification information; wherein, the second capability information is capability information of the first network function entity for a first service; the third identification information is identification information of a network function entity used for backup for the first service; and the first service is a newly added service of a first type.

[0248] This ensures the accuracy of the information. The third identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0249] In this embodiment of the invention, the information processing method further includes: receiving a service request sent by a second network function entity, the service request carrying first identification information of a first type of pending service; obtaining fourth identification information of a first network function entity supporting the pending service based on the first identification information and the first capability information; and sending the fourth identification information to the second network function entity; wherein the first identification information can be used to identify service capabilities.

[0250] This enables service discovery, supporting subsequent operations by the second network function entity. It should be noted that service requests can also carry identification information for the second type of pending service, facilitating subsequent processing of that service; however, this is not a limitation. Specifically, the first identification information is a key identifier capable of distinguishing NF services, and may include at least one of the following: slice information, data network name, and number segment information, without further limitation. Number segment information refers to the user identifier (such as the General Public User Identifier (SUPI) set information or the General Public User Identifier (GPSI) set information).

[0251] Furthermore, after receiving the service request sent by the second network function entity, the method further includes: obtaining the fifth identification information of the network function entity used for backup corresponding to the service to be processed, based on the first identification information and the second identification information; and sending the fifth identification information to the second network function entity.

[0252] This allows the second network function entity to support its subsequent backup needs for the first type of services. The fifth identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0253] This invention also provides an information processing method applied to a second network functional entity (which can be implemented as a client NF), such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0254] Step 31: Obtain the fourth identification information of the first network function entity that supports the service to be processed;

[0255] Step 32: Based on the fourth identification information, send the first identification information of the service to be processed to the first network function entity; wherein, the first identification information can be used to identify service capabilities.

[0256] Specifically, the first identification information is a key identifier that can distinguish NF services, and may include at least one of the following: slice information, data network name, and number segment information, without limitation. Number segment information is the user identifier (such as General Public User Identifier (SUPI) set information or General Public User Identifier (GPSI) set information).

[0257] The information processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention obtains the fourth identification information of a first network function entity supporting the service to be processed; and sends the first identification information of the service to be processed to the first network function entity according to the fourth identification information; wherein, the first identification information can be used to identify service capabilities; it can support the differentiation of services and on-demand backup and disaster recovery when multiple services share a single network; thereby maximizing resource savings and reducing costs while ensuring high reliability and not affecting user experience; it effectively solves the problems of existing information processing schemes for backup mechanisms that cannot avoid resource waste and high costs while ensuring user experience.

[0258] The step of obtaining the fourth identification information of the first network function entity supporting the pending service includes: sending a service request to a network register function entity, the service request carrying the first identification information of the pending service of a first type; receiving the fourth identification information of the first network function entity supporting the pending service from the network register function entity; or, receiving the first capability information of the first network function entity sent by the first network function entity through an accompanying instruction message; obtaining the fourth identification information of the first network function entity supporting the pending service based on the first capability information and the first identification information of the pending service; wherein the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle the first type of service and the second type of service; or, the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle the second type of service; the first type indicates that the service belongs to the target service, and the second type indicates that the service does not belong to the target service; the target service is a service whose corresponding reliability parameter value is greater than a first threshold and / or continuity parameter value is greater than a second threshold.

[0259] This allows for accurate identification of the Network Functions (NFs) capable of providing services. It should be noted that service requests may also carry identification information for the second type of pending service, facilitating subsequent processing of that service; however, this is not a limitation. Furthermore, when "the first capability information indicates that the first network function entity can handle both the first type of service and the second type of service," the first network function entity may handle the first type of service alone, handle the second type of service alone, or handle both types of services simultaneously; this is not limited here.

[0260] Furthermore, the information processing method further includes: obtaining fifth identification information of the network function entity used for backup corresponding to the service to be processed; and, in the case that the first network function entity is determined to have failed, continuing to interact with the network function entity used for backup based on the fifth identification information.

[0261] This ensures that the first type of service continues to operate normally even if the server-side NF fails. The fifth identification information can be the NFinstanceid, the instance identifier of the network function entity used for backup, or the domain name (FQDN) of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0262] The step of obtaining the fifth identification information of the network function entity corresponding to the service to be processed for backup includes: receiving the fifth identification information of the network function entity corresponding to the service to be processed for backup fed back by the network registration function entity; or receiving the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup by the first network function entity sent by the first network function entity through an accompanying instruction message; and obtaining the fifth identification information of the network function entity corresponding to the service to be processed for backup based on the second identification information and the first identification information of the service to be processed.

[0263] This allows for flexible acquisition of relevant information for the first network function entity. The second identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0264] Furthermore, the information processing method further includes: receiving second capability information and third identification information sent by the first network function entity via an accompanying instruction message; updating the first capability information of the first network function entity according to the second capability information, and updating the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup according to the third identification information; wherein, the second capability information is capability information of the first network function entity for a first service; the third identification information is identification information of the network function entity used for backup for the first service; and the first service is a newly added service of a first type.

[0265] This ensures the accuracy of the information. The third identification information can be the instance identifier NFinstanceid of the network function entity used for backup or the domain name FQDN of the network function entity used for backup, but is not limited to these.

[0266] To clarify, Figure 3The accompanying instruction messages involved in the corresponding scheme can be existing interaction messages (specifically, "accompanying instruction messages" can be initial interaction messages and / or update messages). For other relevant details, please refer to the above explanations, which will not be repeated here.

[0267] The following is an example of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention. The first network function entity is the network function NF entity (hereinafter referred to as NF), the network register function NRF entity is hereinafter referred to as NRF, and the first type of service is the high reliability service.

[0268] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, specifically a differentiated disaster recovery mechanism under a shared network, which mainly involves the following two parts:

[0269] Part 1: Preparation of Virtual Network Element (VNF) (corresponding to NF);

[0270] 1. For regular services without high reliability (replaced by public, corresponding to the second type of service mentioned above), existing methods can be used (for example, refer to section 6.1.6.2.12 of 3GPP TS 29.510) to define NFINFO_public (regular NF information, corresponding to the second field mentioned above), where NF is the 5GC network element name.

[0271] 2. For special services with high reliability (referred to as "special", corresponding to the first type of service mentioned above), existing methods can be used (for example, refer to section 6.1.6.2.12 of 3GPP TS 29.510) to define a new NFINFO_special (special NF information, corresponding to the first field mentioned above). Multiple NFINFO_special can be defined as needed.

[0272] 3. An existing method can be used (for example, refer to section 6.1.6.2.2 of 3GPP TS 29.510) to define a set of NFProfiles. The NF Profile serving regular services (corresponding to the second file mentioned above) contains NFINFO_public, while the NF Profile serving both special services and regular services (corresponding to the first file mentioned above) contains both NFINFO_public and NFINFO_special.

[0273] 4. On NFs that support special services, enable the backup of special services to backup network elements (which can be understood as backing up special services); the backup relationship (which backup network element to which special services are backed up) can be preset, but is not limited to this.

[0274] In this embodiment of the invention, the information to be registered in the following service registration process (including the aforementioned first capability information) can be obtained based on the two information fields and two files defined above.

[0275] Part Two: Business Processes;

[0276] 1. Service Registration:

[0277] When an NF that supports both regular and special services registers with the Network Register Function (NRF), it carries NFINFO_special and NFINFO_public (and may also include backup network element information, corresponding to the second identification information mentioned above).

[0278] When an NF that only supports regular services registers with the NRF, it carries NFINFO_public. This corresponds to receiving the first capability information of the first network function entity and the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup, sent by the first network function entity; the first network function entity is then registered based on the first capability information and the second identification information.

[0279] 2. Service Discovery:

[0280] When a user performs a special service, the client NF (corresponding to the second network function entity mentioned above) carries a special service identifier (such as a special service slice (corresponding to the slice information mentioned above), a data network name DNN, or a special user number segment (corresponding to the number segment information mentioned above)) and requests the NRF to discover the service provider (i.e., the server NF, corresponding to the first network function entity mentioned above). The NRF then returns the service provider that supports the special service.

[0281] When a user performs routine business, the client NF (Network Function) carries a routine business identifier (such as a routine business slice, DNN, or routine user number range) and requests a service provider discovery service from the NRF (Network Function Provider). The NRF then returns a service provider that supports the routine business. Corresponding to the above-mentioned receiving of a service request sent by the second network function entity, the service request carries first identifier information of a first type of pending business. Based on the first identifier information and the first capability information, fourth identifier information of the first network function entity supporting the pending business is obtained. The fourth identifier information is then sent to the second network function entity. The first identifier information can be used to identify business capabilities.

[0282] Furthermore, the feedback regarding backup network element information corresponds to obtaining the fifth identification information of the network function entity used for backup corresponding to the service to be processed, based on the first identification information and the second identification information; and sending the fifth identification information to the second network function entity.

[0283] Based on the above, the general process corresponding to the solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention includes: NF registers capabilities; subsequently, when the NRF receives a certain service request, it searches for a server NF (corresponding to the first network function entity mentioned above) that can support the specific service; it sends the information of the server NF (corresponding to the fourth identification information mentioned above) to the client NF (corresponding to the second network function entity mentioned above); the client NF sends service information (corresponding to the first identification information of the service to be processed mentioned above) to the server NF; the server NF determines the service type based on the service information and decides whether to back up the corresponding service (corresponding to the above-mentioned operation based on the service type).

[0284] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the server-side NF takes the Session Management Function (SMF) as an example, and the client-side NF takes the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) as an example. Assume the server-side NF's pool includes four SMFs: SMF1, SMF2, SMF3, and SMF4. Each of the four SMFs registers its service with the NRF. Then, the AMF can request service discovery from the NRF (i.e., determine which SMFs can support the service), allowing the AMF to invoke the corresponding SMF in the pool.

[0285] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, for example, NF1 supports the regular public service and the special service special1, NF12 also supports both public and special1, and NF3 and NF4 only support public; then the terminal UE can access the special1 service through NF1 and / or NF2, and access the public service through NF1, NF2, NF3 and / or NF4.

[0286] In this context, the process of finding the server-side NF that supports the service can also be performed by the client NF itself based on the received in-band instruction message. Specifically, this corresponds to receiving the first capability information of the first network function entity sent by the first network function entity through the in-band instruction message; and obtaining the fourth identification information of the first network function entity that supports the service to be processed based on the first capability information and the first identification information of the service to be processed.

[0287] Regarding the search for backup network elements (i.e., obtaining relevant information about backup network elements), it can specifically correspond to receiving the fifth identification information of the network function entity used for backup, which is the same as the service to be processed, fed back by the network registration function entity; or, receiving the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup by the first network function entity, which is sent by the first network function entity through an accompanying instruction message; and obtaining the fifth identification information of the network function entity used for backup, which is the same as the service to be processed, based on the second identification information and the first identification information of the service to be processed.

[0288] 3. Troubleshooting:

[0289] Suppose that a certain NF fault simultaneously supports both public and special functions (e.g., Figure 6 In NF1), the services on this NF are processed as follows:

[0290] 1) Special services: Because special service data has been backed up in advance among network elements, NF2 has user information of NF1. After NF1 fails, users on NF1 can continue to use NF2 to carry out services without being affected. When a fault occurs (the client NF detects an anomaly), the client directly interacts with the backup network element based on the backup network element information. Corresponding to the above, when it is determined that the first network function entity has failed, the client continues to interact with the backup network function entity based on the fifth identification information to carry out the service to be processed.

[0291] 2) Public services: Because public services are not backed up between network elements, if NF1 fails, the user services on NF1 will be damaged. Users can trigger the re-establishment of services, which will have some impact on services, such as SMF session deletion and reconstruction, IP address changes, etc.

[0292] 4. New high-reliability service requirements (corresponding to new services of the first type mentioned above):

[0293] In commercial applications, as industry application reliability requirements increase, this solution can quickly meet customer requirements on the basis of the existing network, reducing network element upgrades and network adjustments.

[0294] For example Figure 7As shown, suppose a new special service (specail2) proposes high reliability requirements. The corresponding process implementation may include: identifying the NFs serving the special service (assuming NF3 and NF4), updating the NF profile of the NF, specifically including adding an NFINFO (specail2), and establishing a backup relationship based on the special service (such as establishing it based on the slice, DNN, or other key information of the special service). Regarding updating the NF profile, it may include updating locally on the NF and updating to the NRF. Specifically, the new process involved here corresponds to the above-mentioned determination of the second capability information of the first network function entity corresponding to the first service and the third identification information of the network function entity used for backup; updating the first capability information according to the second capability information, and updating the second identification information according to the third identification information; and sending the second capability information and the third identification information to the network registration function entity; and / or, sending the second capability information and the third identification information to the surrounding network elements of the first network function entity through an accompanying instruction message.

[0295] 5. Notify the surrounding network elements (corresponding to the above-mentioned surrounding network elements) of the information of the backup node (i.e., backup network element) through the accompanying instruction message;

[0296] Specifically, the server-side NF can also carry backup node information (corresponding to the second or third identification information mentioned above), such as NFinstanceid or FQDN, in the first signaling message or update message exchanged with surrounding network elements, thereby notifying the surrounding network elements (i.e., the client-side NF). The server-side NF can control backups for all users or special users (i.e., users capable of performing the aforementioned special services). If backups are only performed for special services, the server-side NF only needs to carry backup node information in the signaling related to the special service. Here, "user" corresponds to the terminal UE. A specific example of "in-line instruction message" is as follows:

[0297] Example 1: Assume the server NF is a Session Management Function (SMF) and the client NF is an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The first signaling message Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Response (i.e., create session context response) or update message Nsmf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext Response (i.e., update session context response) sent by the SMF to the AMF can carry the SMF's backup node information bckupsmfinfo (i.e., standby node information, corresponding to the second or third identification information mentioned above). bckupsmfinfo can include at least one of the following: the NF's FQDN, NfInstanceId, IP address, and NfSetId (NF set identifier), or other similar items, which are not limited here.

[0298] Example 2: Assume the server-side NF is a Session Management Function (SMF), and the client-side NF is a Unified Data Management (UDM). The first signaling message Nudm_SDM_Get (i.e., retrieving session management subscription data) sent by the SMF to the UDM can carry the SMF's backup node information bckupsmfinfo. bckupsmfinfo can include at least one of the NF's FQDN, NfInstanceId, IP address, and NfSetId, or other similar items, which are not limited here.

[0299] Example 3: Assume the server NF is a Session Management Function (SMF) and the client NF is a Policy Control Function (PCF). The first signaling message Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Create (i.e., session policy control creation) sent by the SMF to the PCF can carry the SMF's backup node information bckupsmfinfo. bckupsmfinfo can include at least one of the following: the NF's FQDN, NfInstanceId, IP address, and NfSetId, or other similar items, which are not limited here.

[0300] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, in addition to the service registration and service discovery mechanisms described above, the server-side NF can also carry backup node information (corresponding to the second or third identification information mentioned above) in the accompanying signaling message (i.e., the accompanying instruction message) to notify the surrounding network elements (i.e., the client NF). This mechanism can be independent of or coexist with the above-mentioned service registration and service discovery mechanisms, and is not limited here. Specifically, this corresponds to sending the first capability information of the first network function entity and the second identification information of the network function entity used for backup to the surrounding network elements of the first network function entity through the accompanying instruction message; the surrounding network elements include a second network function entity that communicates with the first network function entity.

[0301] As can be seen from the above, the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention involve:

[0302] 1. Define a mechanism for differentiated backup and disaster recovery based on different services in 5GC; for example, SMF sets different backup and disaster recovery mechanisms and backup network elements based on slices or DNN, and PCF sets different backup and disaster recovery mechanisms and backup network elements based on service number segments or DNN, etc. (here, SMF and policy control function PCF are implementation examples of the first network function entity mentioned above); mainly for backup of special services (such as based on slices, DNN, number segments, etc.).

[0303] 2. This backup and disaster recovery mechanism can be notified through service registration and service discovery.

[0304] 3. This backup and disaster recovery mechanism can be notified via in-path signaling messages (at least one field needs to be added to the corresponding message, which can be implemented using existing methods, and will not be elaborated here).

[0305] In summary, the solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can differentiate services and perform backup and disaster recovery on demand when multiple services share a single network; and maximize resource savings and reduce costs while ensuring high reliability. Furthermore, it can meet the backup and disaster recovery needs of new services without adding network elements.

[0306] Furthermore, existing technologies for NF SET (set) + UDSF (unstructured data storage function) define a general stateless architecture and an architecture for centrally storing data in UDSF; however, compared with this solution, it is more complex to introduce and deploy UDSF and define the interaction mechanism between NF SET and UDSF; and it is fundamentally different from the differentiated disaster recovery based on different services proposed in this solution.

[0307] This invention also provides an information processing device applied to a first network functional entity, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the device includes:

[0308] The first determining module 81 is used to determine the service type of the service to be processed based on the first identification information of the service to be processed;

[0309] The first execution module 82 is used to perform corresponding operations according to the business type;

[0310] The corresponding operation includes: performing a backup operation, or not performing a backup operation;

[0311] The first identification information can be used to identify business capabilities.

[0312] The information processing device provided in this embodiment of the invention determines the service type of the service to be processed based on the first identification information of the service to be processed; and performs a corresponding operation based on the service type; wherein, performing the corresponding operation includes: performing a backup operation, or not performing a backup operation; the first identification information can be used to identify service capabilities; it can realize the differentiation of services and backup and disaster recovery on demand when multiple services share a single network; thereby maximizing resource savings and reducing costs while ensuring high reliability and not affecting user experience; it effectively solves the problems of existing information processing solutions for backup mechanisms that cannot avoid resource waste and high costs while ensuring user experience.
