[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0037] Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the network resource retrieval method provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps 100, 200 and 300.

[0038] Step 100: Divide the network resources in the network resource capability library into layers to determine which layers network resources with different characteristics belong to.

[0039] Specifically, according to the description in the background section of this invention, the technical problem solved by this invention is how to quickly and accurately implement different business requirements. Therefore, based on this problem, this invention proposes a network resource capability library for storing different types of network resources, including directly callable network resources, such as storage resources represented by storage addresses, wireless connection resources represented by physical addresses, and wired transmission resources represented by ports and transmission protocols. The network resource capability library may also include models and algorithms, such as algorithms for task scheduling, models for fault detection, and algorithms for quality analysis.

[0040] After obtaining a network resource capability library that stores various types of network resources, the stored network resources are layered. The layering can be based on different resource characteristics, such as network physical resources, network element resources, and system function resources. Resources with different characteristics belong to different layers.

[0041] Step 200: Encapsulate the network resources of each layer to obtain the callable application programming interface (API) for each type of network resource.

[0042] Specifically, after layering the network resources in the network resource capability library, each layer's network resources are encapsulated to obtain a callable Application Programming Interface (API) for each type of network resource at each layer. Calling the API allows users to obtain and use the corresponding network resource.

[0043] Step 300: Combine the callable APIs of network resources at different layers to obtain API calling strategies for various network services.

[0044] Specifically, the APIs corresponding to different network resources at each layer are combined to obtain an API invocation strategy for each network service. The API invocation strategy of this invention refers to the rules for invoking the APIs corresponding to each layer of network resources. These rules can be the order in which the APIs are invoked, or an algorithm for invoking the APIs at each layer. Different types of network services can be implemented based on this API invocation strategy.

[0045] This embodiment stratifies the network resources in the constructed network resource capability library into layers, based on the different resource characteristics of different types of network resources. After layering the network resources, each layer is encapsulated to obtain callable API interfaces for each type of network resource. Finally, the callable APIs of different layers are combined to obtain API calling strategies corresponding to various network services. This invention improves the efficiency and accuracy of implementing network service business requirements by encapsulating resources to obtain callable APIs and combining these APIs in various ways to obtain network resource calling strategies suitable for various network services.

[0046] In one embodiment, the network resource invocation method provided in this application may further include the following steps 110 and 120.

[0047] Step 110: Determine the network resources with different resource characteristics, including network physical resources, network element resources, and system function resources.

[0048] Step 120: Determine that the network physical resources belong to the first layer, the network element resources belong to the second layer, and the system function resources belong to the third layer.

[0049] Specifically, the network resources in the network resource capability library can be divided into three layers: the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer. Then, the network resources in the network resource capability library are further divided into layers based on their resource characteristics, with network resources of different characteristics belonging to different layers.

[0050] Different resource characteristics include network physical resource characteristics, network element resource characteristics, and system function resource characteristics. For example, network resources with network physical resource characteristics are classified as Layer 1, network resources with network element resource characteristics are classified as Layer 2, and network resources with system function resource characteristics are classified as Layer 3. This hierarchical structure is because network physical resources are fundamental network resources, and network physical resources, network element resources, and system function resources have a certain hierarchy. For example, after calling system function resources, network element resources can be called, and then network physical resources can be called.

[0051] This embodiment determines the architectural foundation for building API call strategies by layering network resources in the network resource capability library.

[0052] Figure 2 This is the second flowchart of the network resource invocation method provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method may further include the following steps 210, 220 and 230.

[0053] Step 210: Encapsulate the network physical resources of the first layer to obtain the callable APIs of the network physical resources; the network physical resources include gateways and user plane functions (UPFs).

[0054] Step 220: Deposit and encapsulate the network element resources of the second layer to obtain the callable APIs of the network element resources; the network element resources include wireless network elements, access network elements and transmission network elements.

[0055] Step 230: Encapsulate the system function resources of the third layer to obtain the callable APIs of the system function resources; the system function resources include resource monitoring functions, fault location functions, and quality analysis functions.

[0056] Specifically, after layering network resources with different characteristics to obtain multi-layered network resources, the first-layer network physical resources are encapsulated to obtain callable APIs for network physical resources; the second-layer network element resources are encapsulated to obtain callable APIs for network element resources; and the third-layer system function resources are encapsulated to obtain callable APIs for system function resources. By obtaining the APIs corresponding to each layer of network resources, they can be combined to solve various network services.

[0057] This embodiment encapsulates the network resources of each layer to obtain the APIs corresponding to the network resources of each layer, laying the architectural foundation for API calling strategies for various network services.

[0058] In one embodiment, the network resource invocation method provided in this application may further include the following steps 310 and 320.

[0059] Step 310: Determine the first resource in the first layer, the second resource in the second layer, and the third resource in the third layer.

[0060] Step 320: Combine the first API of the first resource, the first API of the second resource, and the third API of the third resource to obtain the API calling strategy of the first network service; the calling order of the API calling strategy of the first network service is the third API, the second API, and the first API in sequence.

[0061] Specifically, the resources in the layered network resources are defined as follows: resources in the first layer are called first network resources, resources in the second layer are called second network resources, and resources in the third layer are called third network resources. First network resources are physical network resources, such as gateways and User Plane Functions (UPFs); second network resources are network element resources, such as wireless network elements, access network elements, and transmission network elements; and third network resources are system function resources, such as resource monitoring functions, fault location functions, and quality analysis functions.

[0062] By encapsulating the network resources at each layer, we obtain the first API of the first network resource, the second API of the second network resource, and the third API of the third network resource. Combining the APIs corresponding to the three layers of network resources yields the API invocation strategy for the first network service. For example, the invocation order of the API invocation strategy for the first network service can be the third API, the second API, and the first API, in that order.

[0063] This embodiment combines and calls the APIs corresponding to network resources at each layer to obtain API calling strategies for various network services, corresponding to multiple network services.

[0064] In one embodiment, the network resource invocation method provided in this application may further include the following steps 400, 500 and 600.

[0065] Step 400: Based on the received service request, determine the network service to be processed.

[0066] Step 500: Based on the network service to be processed, determine the packaging product to be used and the API call path corresponding to the packaging product.

[0067] Step 600: Call each API on the API call path to obtain the service result of the network service to be processed.

[0068] Specifically, after combining the APIs corresponding to multiple layers of network resources to obtain API calling strategies for various network services, a service request is received, and based on the received service request, the network service to be processed is determined. By analyzing the network service, the characteristics of the network service and the corresponding encapsulation product are determined. The encapsulation product proposed in this invention refers to the combination and encapsulation of APIs corresponding to various network resources. When the product to be used can be determined through analysis of the network service to be processed, the API calling path corresponding to the encapsulation product to be used is queried. The API calling path corresponding to the encapsulation product to be used includes the APIs corresponding to various network resources and their calling sequence logic. Based on the API calling path, each API on the API calling path is called to obtain the service result of the network service to be processed.

[0069] This embodiment improves the efficiency and accuracy of fulfilling network service business requirements by calling each API on the API call path corresponding to the network service to be processed.

[0070] In one embodiment, the network resource invocation method provided in this application may further include the following steps.

[0071] Step 700: Locate the packaging product corresponding to the network service to be processed.

[0072] Step 800: If there is no encapsulated product corresponding to the network service to be processed, determine the target resource corresponding to the network service to be processed.

[0073] Step 900: Add the target resource to the network resource capability library.

[0074] Specifically, based on the above, if a query for the encapsulated product corresponding to the network service to be processed cannot find one, it indicates that the encapsulated product for the network service to be processed does not yet exist. The network service to be processed is a new network service, and its corresponding API calling strategy does not yet exist. In this case, the target resource corresponding to the network service to be processed is determined, i.e., the network resources required to implement the network service. After determining the required network resources, the target resource is added to the network resource capability library, and then the target resource is encapsulated to obtain the corresponding API. Finally, the APIs corresponding to the target resource are combined to obtain the API calling strategy for the network service to be processed.

[0075] If the target resource already exists in the network resource capability library, it means that the API calling strategy was not built based on the target resource in the early stage. In this case, the target resource is encapsulated to obtain the API corresponding to the target resource, and then the API corresponding to the target resource is combined to obtain the API calling strategy of the network service to be processed.

[0076] This embodiment processes network resources in the network resource capability library by searching for the query results of the packaged products corresponding to the network services to be processed, so as to realize various network services to be processed.
