[0087] This exemplary implementation is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0088] first, Figure 2 An interactive diagram of a data reporting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the data reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0089] S202: The DSMF receives a data service request.

[0090] In a possible embodiment, the data service request may carry service type, service requirements, data service execution node information, data service area, etc., for requesting data service and data reporting.

[0091] Business types may include: high-precision positioning in perception services, imaging mapping, drone flight supervision, environmental monitoring, etc.

[0092] Business requirements may include: perception mode, perception area, perception QoS requirements, perception data update frequency, etc.

[0093] The data service area may include a perception area corresponding to the data service business.

[0094] In a possible embodiment, the data service request may be triggered by the AF and sent to the SEF, and the SEF selects the DSMF according to the data service area in the data service request.

[0095] S204: In response to the data service request, the DSMF selects a data reporting path, an eAMF, a user device for performing service data collection tasks, and a DPF for performing data processing and analysis tasks.

[0096] In one possible embodiment, the DSMF may also select a protocol that meets the transmission requirements of the service data in response to the data service request and generate a corresponding data transmission protocol identifier. For example, data transmission may be carried on the Internet Protocol (IP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol for the user plane (GTP-U), or other protocols to meet the transmission data type and quality of service (QoS) of the specific data service.

[0097] In a possible embodiment, the DSMF may also select a data storage network element DSF that performs a service data storage task in response to a data service request.

[0098] In a possible embodiment, the DSMF can respond to a data service business request and obtain the business type and business requirements in the data service business request; select a data reporting path based on the business type and business requirements; and select a protocol that meets the business data transmission requirements and generate a data transmission protocol identifier; and select a DPF that performs data processing and analysis tasks and a DSF that performs business data storage tasks; and select an eAMF and a user device that performs data collection tasks.

[0099] Based on the service type and service requirements, the corresponding data reporting path, data transmission protocol, DPF, DSF, and UE to perform the task, as well as the eAMF required for interaction with the UE, are selected. Based on different service types and service requirements, the appropriate or optimal processing method and data reporting path are selected. DSMF supports selection from multiple data reporting paths based on data service business requirements, improving the efficiency and flexibility of data collection and transmission on the UE side.

[0100] S206: DSMF sends a service data collection task to eAMF.

[0101] S208: DSMF sends the data processing and analysis task to DPF.

[0106] S218: The UE performs the service data collection task and obtains service data.

[0107] S220: The UE reports the service data according to the data reporting path.

[0108] In a possible embodiment, the UE may send service data according to different data reporting paths, and the service data is ultimately sent to the DPF for processing and analysis.

[0109] It should be noted that service data may be forwarded through other network elements in the data reporting channel corresponding to the data reporting path, such as eAMF, DSMF, UPF, etc., and may also need to pass through the RAN. If a direct data reporting channel exists between the UE and the DPF, it can also be reported directly to the DPF.

[0110] S222: The DPF receives service data.

[0111] S220: The DPF obtains a data service result based on the service data.

[0112] In a possible embodiment, after obtaining the data service result, the DPF may send the data service result to the DSF; the data service result includes original business data or data processing and analysis results.

[0113] In a possible embodiment, after the data service result is stored by the DSF, the DSF sends the data service result address to the DSMF.

[0114] In a possible embodiment, the DSMF may open the data service result to the AF.

[0123] S314: DSMF sends the data storage task to DSF.

[0124] S316: eAMF sends the service data collection task to the user equipment.

[0125] S318: The UE performs the service data collection task and obtains service data.

[0126] S320: The UE reports the service data according to the data reporting path.

[0127] S322: The DPF receives service data.

[0133] Four data reporting paths are introduced and explained through the following four embodiments.

[0134] Example 1: First reporting path.

[0135] Figure 4Shows an interactive diagram of another data reporting method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0136] S402: The DSMF establishes a connection with the DPF.

[0154] Embodiment 2: Second reporting path. The second reporting path includes a first path between the user equipment and the UPF and a second path between the UPF and the DPF. The UPF in the first path is a session management network element SMF selected by the eAMF based on the location information of the user equipment.

[0172] S526: The DPF sends a request message for establishing a data reporting channel of the second path to the UPF.

[0173] S528: The DPF and the UPF establish a data reporting channel of the second path.

In embodiment 1, the service data collected on the UE side is reported to the DPF through a data collection and reporting process that does not pass through the UPF.

[0181] Embodiment 3: A third reporting path, where the third reporting path is a non-access layer message path between the user equipment and the DSMF.

[0223] In a possible embodiment, the data reporting path includes a fourth reporting path, where the fourth reporting path is a NAS message path between the user equipment and the eAMF.

[0224] When the data reporting path is the fourth reporting path, DSMF can receive the NAS message sent by eAMF; the NAS message includes service data; and send the service data to DPF.

[0225] In one possible implementation, Figure 11 A flow chart of a data reporting method is shown, which is applied to DPF. Figure 11 As shown, the following steps are included:

When DSMF sends a message to eAMF, it may not carry the tunnel information and service quality information of DPF. DSMF establishes a data reporting channel with the UE based on the tunnel information finally fed back by RAN.

[0235] Through the above data reporting method, DSMF can control the data collected on the UE side to be reported to DPF for processing and analysis, and support selection from multiple data reporting paths according to data service business requirements, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of data collection and transmission on the UE side.
