Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Under the current network architecture, the rights and interests of data-oriented entities have always been in a gray area. For example, since network equipment vendors and end users do not have the right to participate in and guide network planning and operation and maintenance optimization, operators can only use technologies such as self-organized networks (SON), minimization of drive tests (MDT) and network data analysis function (NWDAF) to conduct long-term measurements and big data collection on specific end users or network elements. Since ordinary end users cannot benefit from data collection or generation services, they lack enthusiasm for quality assurance such as network operation and maintenance service level agreements (SLA) or user experience quality (QoE). Since data assets generated during network operation are difficult to confirm ownership (or are assumed to belong to operators), there are certain difficulties in data management, external opening and data trading.

[0003] In summary, the existing technology has the problem of unclear data rights and interests, which makes the enthusiasm of all network participants low, makes it difficult to open up data assets and makes data transactions inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0038] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0039] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or", for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] As described in the background technology, there is an issue of unclear data rights and interests in the existing technology, which results in low enthusiasm among network participants, difficulty in opening up data assets, and inefficient data transactions.

[0041] In response to the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a data rights management method, the idea of ​​which is to manage the data rights generated in the network by defining standardized first data rights information, clarify the data rights of network elements for various types of data, and enhance the value of various types of data in the network.

[0042] It is understandable that in terms of data rights, it is necessary to determine the data rights holder and the content of the rights, that is, who has what rights to the data. In the entire life cycle of data from its creation to its extinction, four main roles are involved: data owner, data producer, data user, and data manager. Different types of data assets may have different owners, producers, users, and managers. In other words, data rights management involves different behaviors of different roles.

[0043] Equity includes rights and interests, and generally refers to the roles, status, rights, benefits, etc. assigned to a specific subject. Operations such as the allocation, change, and transaction of equity can lead to a larger space for value creation. In wireless systems, specific network rights include: the right to participate in network planning and construction, the right to assist in network maintenance, the right to dominate business operations, and the right to digital asset ownership. The interaction process of network subjects is carried out by network elements (Network Elements), which can be devices, functions, entities, nodes, protocol layers, or components. When network data involves commercial behavior or transactions, the data rights of network elements also correspond to the data rights of commercial subjects in the commercial dimension. Common commercial subjects include operators, equipment vendors, terminal manufacturers, individual consumers, government and enterprise customers, application providers, content providers, special network element node holders (such as properties), super terminal users, etc. For example, operators belong to commercial subjects, and the core network equipment owned by operators belongs to network subjects.

[0044] In order to protect the data rights and interests of each network subject, the embodiment of the present application first determines the role of each network subject, and then performs rights management such as confirmation of rights and profit sharing for each network subject. Among them, confirmation of rights refers to clarifying the ownership, right to know, right to participate, right to control, right to manage, right to suggest, right to handle, etc. of each subject to the data. Rights management also includes business behaviors and business models such as stipulated incentives (for example, incentives obtained by data producers for generating data), transaction rules, billing methods, transaction methods, and profit sharing strategies.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the network architecture involved in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the network architecture includes: a core network (CN), a radio access network (RAN), a user equipment (UE) and a data network (DN).

[0046] The core network has multiple network functions (NFs), and each NF can be accessed through a service-based interface. Exemplarily, the main NFs of the core network include:

[0047] The user plane function (UPF), as the user plane access NF of the network, is mainly responsible for packet routing and forwarding of user plane data, policy implementation, traffic reporting, quality of service (QoS) processing, etc.

[0048] Among them, UPF and UPF can be connected through the user plane interface N9 interface to transmit uplink and downlink user data flows between UPFs.

[0049] The network storage function (NF repository function, NRF) is mainly responsible for registering and managing various NFs in the network.

[0050] Unified data management (UDM) is responsible for the unified management of user data such as user contract information, security information, and related functions such as user identification, access authorization, and mobility management.

[0051] The authentication server function (AUSF), as the authentication center of the network, is mainly responsible for providing authentication and access authentication for users. It can also authenticate external applications and toB.

[0052] The application function (AF) interacts with the application control plane and delivers application QoS requirements or parameters.

[0053] The network exposure function (NEF) supports third-party application AF to interact with various network elements in the core network through NEF.

[0054] The session management function (SMF) is mainly responsible for tunnel maintenance, allocation and management of Internet protocol (IP) addresses, user plane (UP) management, policy implementation, QoS control, billing data collection, roaming and other functions.

[0055] SMF can also derive QoS profile and generate QoS flow based on policy control and charging (PCC) rules. SMF can also send QoS profile to RAN, send packet detection rule (PDR) to UPF, and bind PCC rule to QoS flow. SMF can also select UPF based on UE or session granularity, allocate IP addresses, collect billing data, connect to billing center, etc.

[0056] The policy control function (PCF) is a network element of the policy and charging control architecture. It can provide policy rules for control plane functions, formulate PCC rules, and authorize SMF in units of service dataflow (SDF).

[0057] The access and mobility management function (AMF), as the user's control plane access NF, is mainly responsible for user registration management, connection management, reachability management, security management, mobility management and other functions.

[0058] For example, AMF can provide a session management message transmission channel for UE and SMF, provide authentication and authorization functions for user access, and is the access point of the wireless access network and core network control plane. Figure 2 As shown, AMF can forward the QoS profile from SMF to RAN and forward the QoS rule from SMF to UE.

[0059] The unified data repository (UDR) is responsible for storing structured user data, such as user contract data, policy data, capability development data, and application data.

[0060] Unstructured data storage function (UDSF) is responsible for storing unstructured data, such as UE context data.

[0061] NWDAF is responsible for data collection, transmission, storage and data analysis.

[0062] Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a node deployed at the edge of the core network and undertakes a large number of computing tasks.

[0063] In some embodiments, in terms of operation and maintenance, the core network introduces a management data analytic function (MDAF) ( Figure 1 Through the coordination and cooperation of MDAF, CN NFs and RAN, the core network realizes the provision of primary data service capabilities.

[0064] UE is an important concept in mobile communications. UE can be a mobile phone, smart terminal, multimedia device, streaming media device, etc.

[0065] Among them, the UE and AMF are connected through the signaling plane interface N1.

[0066] RAN is a type of access network (AN). RAN refers to the introduction of a part or all of the access network AN into the wireless transmission medium to provide fixed terminal services and / or mobile terminal services to users.

[0067] Among them, RAN and AMF are connected through the signaling plane interface N2. RAN and UPF are connected through N3 for transmitting uplink and downlink user plane data.

[0068] Exemplarily, RAN is a ground infrastructure, for example, a base station (BS).

[0069] Data network (DN) corresponds to operator services, Internet access or third-party services, etc. For example, third-party applications (Apps) can be deployed on DN.

[0070] Among them, DN and UPF can be connected through the N6 interface to transmit the uplink and downlink user data flows between UPF and DN.

[0071] It should be noted that the network architecture and application scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0072] The following is a detailed introduction to the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0074] S101. A first network element determines data rights and interests of a second network element.

[0075] It should be noted that the network element in the embodiment of the present application refers to a network element (Network Element). For example, the network element may be a function, entity, node, protocol layer or component, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0076] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first network element may include at least one of the following: a core network, a wireless access network, a business entity, a terminal device, a network management center, a network control center, a network data asset management network element, a rights management network element, a rights management center, a rights management layer, a rights management entity, a rights management function, a rights management component, and a rights management agent.

[0077] Exemplarily, the core network includes at least one of the following: PCF, AMF, SMF, UDM, UDR, UPF and NEF.

[0078] The above-mentioned wireless access network includes at least one of the following: a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), a radio link layer control protocol (RLC), a medium access control (MAC), a RAN capability opening function, etc.

[0079] The above-mentioned rights and interests management network element includes at least one of the following: a dedicated rights and interests network element, and a rights and interests enhanced network element formed by adding a rights and interests management function to an existing network element.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second network element may include at least one of the following: a terminal device, a base station, a wireless access network, a business entity, a core network, a third-party application, a capability exposure node, and an edge node.

[0081] Exemplarily, the core network includes at least one of the following: PCF, AMF, SMF, UDM, UDR, UPF and NEF.

[0082] The above-mentioned wireless access network includes at least one of the following: CU, DU, SDAP, PDCP, RLC and MAC.

[0083] The above-mentioned edge nodes include: MEC.

[0084] The above-mentioned capability exposure node includes at least one of the following: NEF, RAN capability exposure network element.

[0085] In some embodiments, the data rights and interests of the second network element are used to represent the rights and interests of the second network element in relation to the data generated by itself.

[0086] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned data rights and interests include at least one of the following: scope of data usage, degree of data privacy, data computing power, ownership of data, right to process data, right to use data, right to maintain data, right to manage data, right to protect data privacy and security, data profit sharing strategy, validity period of data rights and interests, life cycle of data rights and interests, type of data rights and interests, billing method of data rights and interests, data rights and interests trading method, and incentives obtained by the second network element for generating data.

[0087] Exemplarily, the data rights type refers to different data rights corresponding to different data. For example, different data rights can be defined for structured data and unstructured data. For example, different data rights can be defined for data used for network optimization and data used for artificial intelligence (AI) model training. Therefore, the first data rights information may include multiple rights information, and different rights information is configured for different types of data.

[0088] Exemplarily, data computing capability refers to the computing power used in the data generation process. For example, the base station includes the computing capability of the base station in the data rights request message sent to the core network, and the core network determines the data rights information for the base station based on the computing capability reported by the base station.

[0089] It can be understood that the core network includes multiple NFs, and the embodiments of the present application add rights management functions to these NFs, and the rights information can be transmitted by calling the service interface. For example, the first network element (for example, PCF, SMF, UPF or AMF in the core network) is used for centralized rights management, and the second network element (for example, RNA node or terminal) reports the rights capability; and then the first network element distributes the rights.

[0090] Exemplarily, when the first network element is PCF and the second network element is a different entity, the data rights and interests of the second network element determined by the first network element may include: PCF determines the data rights and interests of the user terminal; PCF determines the data rights and interests of the base station; PCF determines the data rights and interests of the MEC; PCF determines the data rights and interests of the third-party application; PCF determines the data rights and interests of the data subject of the network participant, etc.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the above step S101 can be implemented as the following steps S1011-S1012:

[0092] S1011. The second network element sends a first data rights request message to the first network element. Correspondingly, the first network element receives the first data rights request message sent by the second network element.

[0093] The first data rights and interests request message packet carries at least one of the following information: capability information related to the data rights and interests of the second network element; and data rights and interests that the second network element expects to obtain.

[0094] Exemplarily, the capability information related to the data rights and interests of the second network element may be tasks related to the data rights and interests that can be performed by the second network element, such as a task of collecting data or a task of model training.

[0095] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 may be implemented as follows: the second network element sends a capability reporting message to the first network element; and the capability reporting message carries a data rights request message.

[0096] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 can be implemented as follows: the second network element sends a connection establishment request message to the first network element; the connection establishment request message carries a data rights request message.

[0097] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 may be implemented as follows: the second network element sends a registration request message to the first network element; the registration request message carries a data rights request message.

[0098] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 may be implemented as follows: the second network element sends a rights information request message to the first network element; and the rights information request message carries a data rights request message.

[0099] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 can be implemented as follows: in response to receiving the authentication request message sent by the first network element, the second network element sends a response message to the first network element; the response message to the authentication request message carries a data rights request message.

[0100] In some embodiments, the above step S1011 may be implemented as follows: the second network element sends an authentication request message to the first network element; and the authentication request message carries a data rights request message.

[0101] S1012. The first network element determines the data rights and interests of the second network element according to the received first data rights and interests request message.

[0102] Exemplarily, when the first data rights request message includes capability information related to the data rights of the second network element, the first network element determines the data rights of the second network element according to the capability information related to the data rights of the second network element. For example, assuming that the second network element can perform the task of collecting data, the first network element can determine the data rights of the second network element according to the data content, data type and / or data volume that the second network element can collect.

[0103] Exemplarily, when the first data rights request message includes the data rights that the second network element expects to obtain, the first network element determines the data rights of the second network element according to the data rights that the second network element expects to obtain. For example, assuming that the second network element expects to obtain the right to use data A, the first network element can determine the data rights of the second network element by judging whether the second network element is qualified to be granted the right to use data A.

[0104] Exemplarily, when the first data rights request message includes the capability information of the second network element and the data rights that the second network element expects to obtain, the first network element determines the data rights of the second network element according to the capability information of the second network element and the data rights that the second network element expects to obtain. For example, assuming that the second network element is capable of performing the task of collecting data A, and the second network element performs the task of collecting data A and expects to obtain the right to use data A, the first network element can determine the data rights of the second network element according to the information.

[0105] S102: The first network element sends first data rights and interests information to the second network element. Correspondingly, the second network element receives the first data rights and interests information sent by the first network element.

[0106] The first data rights and interests information includes the data rights and interests related information of the second network element.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first data rights and interests information includes one of the following:

[0108] Information on data rights configuration;

[0109] Information on changes in data rights;

[0110] Information on termination of data rights.

[0111] Exemplarily, the information of data rights configuration includes: data rights content that can be granted to the second network element, data rights related parameter configuration, etc. For example, the information of data rights configuration includes: granting the second network element the right to know and the right to use data A. For example, the information of data rights configuration includes: the share ratio of the second network element after making profits from data B in commercial activities.

[0112] Exemplarily, the information on data rights change includes: the data rights that need to be changed in the data rights of the second network element, and the content of the change. For example, assuming that the second network element has the right to use data A for a period of 3 months; then the information on data rights change may include: changing the period of the second network element's right to use, and the content of the change is to extend the second network element's right to use data A to 6 months.

[0113] Exemplarily, the information of data rights change includes: changing the network planning and construction participation rights of the second network element. For example, when the second network element is a super terminal or a special network element node, the second network element can be used as a legal service or relay node after negotiation and authorization with the operator. At the same time, the second network element can obtain certain value feedback or rewards based on the rights distribution change process and the actual network planning and construction coverage contribution.

[0114] Exemplarily, the information of data rights change includes: changing the network maintenance and optimization assistance rights of the second network element. For example, when the second network element is a super terminal or a special network element node, after negotiation and authorization with the operator, the second network element can locally process and solve some network operation and maintenance optimization problems based on endogenous intelligence or provide reference suggestions and data materials for the operator. At the same time, the second network element can obtain certain value feedback or rewards based on the rights distribution change process and the actual network auxiliary optimization contribution.

[0115] Exemplarily, the information of data rights change includes: changing the service control dominance of the second network element. For example, when the second network element is a super terminal or a special network element node, the second network element can actively request and specify its desired resource strategy and RRC configuration for some special service scenarios after negotiating with the operator and obtaining authorization.

[0116] Exemplarily, the information on termination of data rights and interests includes: data rights and interests that need to be terminated in the data rights and interests of the second network element. For example, assuming that the second network element has the right to know about data A, the information on termination of data rights and interests may include: terminating the right of the second network element to know about data A.

[0117] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends a second data rights request message to the second network element, where the second data rights request message carries the first data rights information.

[0118] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows: the first network element receives the first data rights request message sent by the second network element, and sends a response message to the first data rights request message to the second network element, where the response message to the first data rights request message carries the first data rights information.

[0119] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows: the first network element receives a data service registration message sent by the second network element, and sends a response message of the data service registration message to the second network element, where the response message of the data service registration message carries the first data rights information.

[0120] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows: the first network element receives a service query message sent by the second network element, and sends a response message to the service query message to the second network element, where the response message to the service query message carries the first data rights information.

[0121] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends a connection request message to the second network element, where the connection request message carries the first data rights information.

[0122] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows: the first network element receives a connection request message sent by the second network element, and sends a response message to the connection request message to the second network element, where the response message to the connection request message carries the first data rights information.

[0123] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends a broadcast message, where the broadcast message carries the first data rights information.

[0125] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows: the first network element sends quality of service QoS information, and transmits the first data rights information in the QoS information or along with the QoS information. Exemplarily, the QoS information includes at least one of the following: QoS feature parameters, QoS profile, QoS rule, and service level agreement SLA contract information.

[0126] For example, Figure 2As shown, when the second network element is a UE, the first network element sends a QoS rule to the second network element, and the QoS rule includes the first data rights and interests information (that is, the first data rights and interests information can be used as a parameter in the QoS rule). When the second network element is a RAN, the first network element sends a QoS profile to the second network element, and the QoS profile includes the first data rights and interests information (that is, the first data rights and interests information can be used as a parameter in the QoS profile).

[0127] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends a data packet, and the header of the data packet carries the first data rights information.

[0128] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends a data packet, and a data area of ​​the data packet carries the first data rights information.

[0129] In some embodiments, the above step S102 may be implemented as follows: the first network element sends an authentication message to the second network element, where the authentication message carries the first data rights information.

[0130] In some embodiments, the above step S102 can be implemented as: the first network element sends a signaling message to the second network element, the signaling message carries the first data rights and interests information, wherein the signaling message includes at least one of the following: a non-access stratum (NAS) message, a radio resource control (RRC) message, a system information (SI) message, and a QoS control message.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the first network element and the second network element cannot communicate directly, the above step S102 can be implemented as: sending the data rights information to the second network element through the third network element. Correspondingly, the second network element receives the first data rights information sent by the first network element through the third network element.

[0132] Exemplarily, sending the first data rights information to the second network element through the third network element may include the following steps:

[0133] Step a1: The first network element sends first data rights and interests information to the third network element. Correspondingly, the third network element receives the first data rights and interests information sent by the first network element.

[0134] Step a2: The third network element sends the first data rights and interests information to the second network element. Correspondingly, the second network element receives the first data rights and interests information sent by the third network element.

[0135] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned third network element includes at least one of the following: AMF network element, NEF network element, access network capability opening network element, relay network element, terminal equipment, base station, wireless access network, commercial entity, third-party application, capability opening node and edge node.

[0136] Exemplarily, when the first network element is a core network (for example, a PCF network element or an SMF network element in the core network) and the second network element is a radio access network (for example, a base station), the above step S102 can be implemented as follows:

[0137] The core network directly sends the first data rights information to the base station; or,

[0138] The core network sends the first data rights information to the access network device through the AMF; or,

[0139] The core network sends a QoS profile to the access network device; the QoS profile includes the first data rights and interests information.

[0140] Exemplarily, when the first network element is a core network (for example, a PCF or SMF in the core network) and the second network element is a terminal device, the above step S102 can be implemented as follows:

[0141] The core network directly sends the first data rights information to the terminal device; or,

[0142] The core network sends the first data rights information to the terminal device through the AMF network element; or,

[0143] The core network sends a QoS rule to the terminal device; the QoS rule message includes the first data rights information; or,

[0144] The AMF sends a NAS message to the terminal device; the NAS message includes the first data rights information.

[0145] Exemplarily, when the first network element is a core network (such as PCF or SMF in the core network), the second network element is a third-party application (such as MEC), and the third network element is NEF, the above step S102 can be implemented as: PCF sends the first data rights information to MEC through NEF.

[0146] S103: The second network element obtains the data rights and interests of the second network element according to the first data rights and interests information.

[0147] Exemplarily, when the first data rights and interests information includes information about data rights and interests configuration, the second network element obtains the data rights and interests granted to the second network element according to the information about the data rights and interests configuration.

[0148] Exemplarily, in the case where the first data rights and interests information includes information on data rights and interests changes, the second network element obtains the data rights and interests that need to be changed in the data rights and interests of the second network element according to the information on the data rights and interests changes.

[0149] Exemplarily, when the first data rights and interests information includes the information on the termination of the data rights and interests, the second network element obtains the data rights and interests that need to be terminated among the data rights and interests of the second network element according to the information on the termination of the rights and interests.

[0150] It can be understood that the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application manages the data rights and interests generated in the network by defining standardized first data rights and interests information, clarifies the data rights and interests of network elements in the network for various types of data, and can enhance the value of various types of data in the network.

[0151] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, before the above step S103, the method further includes the following step S201:

[0152] S201: A second network element sends a response message of first data rights information to a first network element. Correspondingly, the first network element receives a response message of the first data rights information sent by the second network element.

[0153] The response message of the first data rights information includes at least one of the following:

[0154] A rights feedback message, where the rights feedback message includes a feedback response of whether the second network element accepts the content indicated by the first data rights information;

[0155] A rights negotiation request, where the rights negotiation request includes a request by the second network element to modify the rights information of the first data;

[0156] Second data rights and interests information, where the second data rights and interests information is rights and interests auxiliary information that the second network element assists the first network element in determining the first data rights and interests information;

[0157] Effect feedback message; the effect feedback information includes the reporting feedback of the second network element on the execution effect of the task corresponding to the first data rights information.

[0158] It is understandable that, if the first data rights information does not meet the expectations of the second network element, the second network element may generate second data rights information to assist the first network element in determining the first data rights information. Exemplarily, the second data rights information may include the second network element's recommendation value for the first data rights information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the second network element sends a response message of the first data rights information to the first network element through the third network element.

[0160] Exemplarily, when the first network element is a core network (such as a PCF or SMF in the core network) and the second network element is a wireless access network device (such as a base station), the base station sends a response message of the first data rights and interests information to the SMF (taking the core network as SMF as an example) through the AMF.

[0161] Exemplarily, when the first network element is a core network (eg, a PCF or SMF in the core network) and the second network element is a terminal device, the terminal device sends a response message of the first data rights information to the SMF through the AMF.

[0162] Exemplarily, the first network element is the core network (for example, a PCF network element or an SMF network element in the core network) and the second network element is a third-party application (for example, MEC), and MEC sends a response message of the first data rights information to the core network through the NEF network element.

[0163] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0164] S301. A first network element sends first data rights and interests information to a third network element; accordingly, the third network element receives the first data rights and interests information.

[0165] S302: The third network element determines the data rights and interests of the third network element according to the first data rights and interests information.

[0166] Exemplarily, the third network element may determine the data rights and interests of the second network element based on the first data rights and interests information; infer the data rights and interests of the third network element based on the data rights and interests of the second network element; and further, the third network element may also apply for the data rights and interests of the third node.

[0167] In some embodiments, when the second network element and the third network element belong to the same type of network element, the third network element can use the data rights of the third network element based on the rights of the second network element. Exemplarily, assuming that the first network element is the core network, the second network element is UE1, and the third network element is UE2; if the data rights of UE1 determined by the core network include rights related to the AI ​​model, UE2 can use the UE1 AI model based on the data rights of UE1.

[0168] It can be understood that the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can clarify data rights by exchanging data rights information between various network elements, which can enhance the value of various types of network data.

[0169] To facilitate understanding, the data rights management information provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below using different scenarios as examples.

[0170] Scenario 1: The first network element is the core network (for example, a PCF network element or an SMF network element in the core network), the second network element is the UE, and the third network element is the AMF.

[0171] For example, in scenario 1, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented as follows:

[0172] Step b1: The UE sends a first data rights request message to the core network.

[0173] Exemplarily, the first data rights request message includes at least one of the following: capability information related to the data rights of the UE; and data rights that the UE expects to obtain.

[0174] Exemplarily, the UE may use a NAS message to send the first data rights request message to the core network, that is, the UE sends a NAS message to the core network, and the NAS message carries the first data rights request message.

[0175] Step b2: The core network determines the data rights of the UE according to the first data rights request message sent by the UE.

[0176] Step b3: The core network generates data rights and interests information of the UE according to the data rights and interests of the UE, and sends the data rights and interests information of the UE to the UE.

[0177] Exemplarily, step b3 can be implemented as follows: the core network sends a QoS rule to the UE through the AMF, and the QoS rule carries the data rights and interests information of the UE (that is, the data rights and interests information of the UE can be used as a parameter of the QoS rule).

[0178] Exemplarily, step b3 may also be implemented as follows: the core network sends a signaling message to the UE, where the signaling message carries the data rights and interests information of the UE.

[0179] Step b4: The UE obtains the data rights of the UE according to the data rights information of the UE.

[0180] Scenario 2: The first network element is the core network (for example, a PCF network element or an SMF network element in the core network), the second network element is a base station, and the third network element is an AMF.

[0181] For example, in scenario 2, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented as follows:

[0182] Step c1: The base station sends a first data rights request message to the core network.

[0183] Exemplarily, the first data rights request message includes at least one of the following: capability information related to the data rights of the base station; and data rights that the base station expects to obtain.

[0184] Exemplarily, the base station sends a first data rights request message to the core network through AMF.

[0185] Step c2: The core network determines the data rights of the base station according to the first data rights request message sent by the base station.

[0186] Step c3: The core network generates data rights and interests information of the base station according to the data rights and interests of the base station, and sends the data rights and interests information of the base station to the base station.

[0187] Exemplarily, step c3 can be implemented as follows: the core network sends a QoS profile to the base station through the AMF, and the QoS profile carries data rights and interests information of the base station (that is, the data rights and interests information of the base station can be used as a parameter of the QoS profile).

[0188] Exemplarily, step c3 may also be implemented as follows: the core network sends a signaling message to the base station, and the signaling message carries data rights and interests information of the base station.

[0189] Step c4: The base station obtains the data rights and interests of the base station according to the data rights and interests information of the base station.

[0190] Scenario three: the first network element is the core network (such as a PCF network element or an SMF network element in the core network), the second network element is a third-party application, and the third network element is NEF.

[0191] For example, in scenario three, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented as follows:

[0192] Step d1: The third-party application sends a first data rights request message to the core network.

[0193] Exemplarily, the first data rights request message includes at least one of the following: capability information related to the data rights of the third-party application; and data rights that the third-party application expects to obtain.

[0194] Exemplarily, when a third-party application is deployed on the edge node MEC, the third-party application may send a first data rights request message to the core network through the NEF network element.

[0195] For example, the third-party application may send a capability reporting message to the core network through the NEF, where the capability reporting message includes a first data rights request message.

[0196] Step d2: The core network determines the data rights of the third-party application according to the first data rights request message sent by the third-party application.

[0197] For example, assuming that a third-party application has the ability to use network data for data analysis and AI reasoning to optimize network performance, the core network can determine the data rights and interests of the third-party application based on this capability and ensure that the network is open to the third-party application in a secure manner. In this way, the third-party application is also willing to actively assist in network optimization because of the incentive.

[0198] Step d3: The core network generates data rights and interests information of the third-party application according to the data rights and interests of the third-party application, and sends the data rights and interests information of the third-party application to the third-party application.

[0199] Exemplarily, when a third-party application is deployed on the edge node MEC, the core network may send data rights and interests information of the third-party application to the third-party application through NEF.

[0200] Exemplarily, the core network can send data rights and interests information of third-party applications to third-party applications through the RAN capability exposure function. For example, the third-party application sends a request message of the RAN capability exposure function to the core network; accordingly, the core network receives the request message of the RAN capability exposure function and sends a response message of the request message of the RAN capability exposure function to the third-party application; the response message of the request message of the RAN capability exposure function carries the data rights and interests information of the third-party application, and the data rights and interests of the third-party application carry the capabilities opened by RAN for the third-party application and the data rights and interests of the third-party application (for example, the third-party application has the right to process the data opened by RAN, but does not have the right of ownership).

[0201] Step d4: The third-party application obtains the data rights and interests of the third-party application according to the data rights and interests information of the third-party application.

[0202] Scenario 4: The first network element is the core network (for example, the PCF network element or SMF network element in the core network), the second network element is the network entity A, and the third network element is the AMF.

[0203] For example, in scenario 4, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented as follows:

[0204] Step e1: Network entity A sends a first data rights request message to the core network.

[0205] Exemplarily, the network entity A may be a base station, a terminal, a third-party application, an intelligent network node, an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, a satellite network node, or the like.

[0206] Exemplarily, the first data rights request message includes at least one of the following: capability information related to the data rights of network subject A; and data rights that network subject A expects to obtain.

[0207] Exemplarily, network subject A sends a first data rights request message to the core network through the AMF network element. For example, network subject A sends an authentication request message to the core network through the AMF, and the authentication request message includes the first data rights request message; or, network subject A sends a response message to the authentication request message sent by the core network through the AMF to the core network, and the response message of the authentication request message includes the first data rights request message.

[0208] Step e2: The core network determines the data rights and interests of network subject A according to the first data rights and interests request message sent by network subject A.

[0209] Step e3: The core network generates data rights and interests information of network subject A according to the data rights and interests of network subject A, and sends the data rights and interests information of network subject A to network subject A.

[0210] Exemplarily, the core network may send data rights and interests information of network entity A to network entity A through AMF.

[0211] Exemplarily, the core network may send a broadcast message, wherein the broadcast message includes data rights and interests information of network subject A.

[0212] Step e4: Network subject A obtains the data rights and interests of network subject A based on the data rights and interests information of network subject A.

[0213] In other embodiments, illustratively, network subject A may register service capabilities related to data rights and interests with the core network, and then the core network determines the data rights and interests of network subject A according to the server capabilities related to the data rights and interests registered by network subject A. When network subject B calls the data service of network subject A, the core network may send data rights and interests information of network subject A to network subject B to inform network subject B about the data rights and interests of network subject A.

[0214] Scenario 5: The first network element is a base station and the second node is a UE.

[0215] For example, in scenario 5, the data rights management method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented as follows:

[0216] Step f1: The UE sends a first data rights request message to the base station.

[0217] Exemplarily, the first data rights request message includes at least one of the following: capability information related to the data rights of the UE; and data rights that the UE expects to obtain.

[0218] Exemplarily, the UE may send the first data rights request message to the base station through air interface signaling. For example, the UE sends a measurement report message to the base station, and the measurement report message carries the first data rights request message.

[0219] Step f2: The base station determines the data rights of the UE according to the first data rights request message sent by the UE.

[0220] In some embodiments, the decision-making power of data rights lies with the core network. After receiving the first data rights request message sent by the UE, the base station sends the first data rights request message to the core network, and the core network determines the data rights of the UE; then, the core network sends the data rights of the UE to the base station.

[0221] Step f3: The base station generates data rights and interests information of the UE according to the data rights and interests of the UE, and sends the data rights and interests information of the UE to the UE.

[0222] Exemplarily, the base station sends a signaling message to the UE, and the signaling message carries the data rights information of the UE. The signaling message may be an RRC message, such as an RRC configuration message or an RRC reconfiguration message.

[0223] Exemplarily, the base station may send a broadcast message, and the broadcast message carries the data rights and interests information of the UE, wherein the broadcast message may be SI or a broadcast channel, and the like.

[0224] For example, the base station can send a broadcast message to solicit UEs that can actively perform measurements or data collection. In order to encourage participation, the broadcast message carries the data rights and interests information of the UE, and the data rights and interests information of the UE includes the data rights and interests that the UE that performs the measurement reporting task or the data collection task can obtain (for example, the measurement reporting or collected data belongs to the base station, but the UE that performs the data tasks such as measurement reporting or data collection can obtain some rewards).

[0225] After receiving the UE's data rights information, the UE can send a response message to the base station, which includes whether the UE receives the data rights information and whether it wants to negotiate for modification. If the UE accepts the data rights information sent by the base station, the UE needs to provide corresponding data services and divide the rights holders and distribute the benefits of the data according to the data rights information. If the UE does not accept the data rights indication sent by the base station, the UE can also initiate a rights negotiation request to the base station to suggest that the base station revise the data rights holder division method, rights content objects and benefit distribution.

[0226] The UE sends a connection request message to the base station, and the connection request message carries a response message of the UE's data rights and interests information. In the case where the response message includes a rights and interests negotiation request, the base station may send a response message of the connection request message to the UE, and the response message of the connection request message carries the determined data rights and interests information.

[0227] Exemplarily, in SON or MDT, a base station may send a broadcast message to publish a measurement task, and the broadcast message carries the data rights information of the UE. The data rights information of the UE may include a rights distribution strategy, which clarifies that the data belongs to the operator, but the UE that performs the measurement task can obtain a reward. The terminal that receives the profit distribution strategy sends a response message to indicate that it is willing to accept the data collection task.

[0228] Step f4: The UE obtains the data rights of the UE according to the data rights information of the UE.

[0229] Scenario 6: Rights management of data services.

[0230] In recent years, the value mining and application of massive network data have received more and more attention. With the development of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and communication perception fusion, data has shown characteristics of multi-dimensionality, ubiquity, time series, and association. 6G networks need to provide data service capabilities that can be distributed and coordinated, easy to realize value, and focus on security and privacy. Data services are provided by various data subjects in the network. The subjects directly related to data include third-party applications, core networks, wireless access networks, terminals, transmission networks, and digital platforms.

[0231] Therefore, when providing data services, 6G networks can manage data rights and interests by transmitting data rights and interests information.

[0232] In some embodiments, during the network service registration phase, data rights and interests information may be carried in a data service registration message. Exemplarily, the first node is a core network (e.g., an NRF network element in the core network) and the second node is a base station. The base station may send a data service registration message to the core network (the base station registers the data service capabilities that the base station can provide to the core network through a data service registration message), and carry a data rights and interests request message in the data service registration message, wherein the data rights and interests request message includes information such as the billing mode for using the data service, the confirmation of the rights of the newly generated data during the data service process (e.g., ownership, processing rights, use rights, etc.), and the distribution of benefits obtained by providing data services. The core network determines the rights and interests of the data service of the base station, and sends the rights and interests information corresponding to the data service to the base station through a data service registration response message. By receiving the data service registration message, the core network can obtain and store the data rights and interests corresponding to each registered data service.

[0233] In other embodiments, during network operation, illegal or malicious calls to data services can be avoided by authorizing data services. For example, network subject B that provides data services carries data rights information in a data service registration message. If a terminal wants to call the data service of the network subject, the network (such as a core network or a network management center, etc.) needs to determine whether the terminal meets the authorization policy based on the data rights information of the data service of network subject B carried in the received data service registration message; for terminals that meet the authorization policy, access is allowed and the use of the data service of network subject B is authorized; for terminals that do not meet the authorization policy, calling the data service of network subject B is not allowed.

[0234] In other embodiments, during the data service discovery phase, data rights and interests information may be carried in a response message to a data service request message. Exemplarily, a third-party application sends a data service request message to the core network through NEF; the core network queries the data services and their data rights and interests stored in the core network, and sends data rights and interests information of the data services to the third-party application (for example, the core network may send a response message to the data service request message to the third-party application, and the response message carries the data rights and interests information of the data service). After receiving the data rights and interests information of the data service sent by the core network, the third-party application pays the relevant fees to the operator when using the data rights and interests, and the operator shares the profits with the data service provider according to the data profit-sharing strategy.

[0235] In other embodiments, during the data service authentication phase, data rights information may be transmitted according to a data service authentication message (e.g., an authentication message, etc.). Exemplarily, the terminal carries a data rights request for terminal security and privacy protection in an authentication request message. Accordingly, the core network carries data rights information for the terminal in an authentication message.

[0236] In other embodiments, before data collection, the data management center needs to obtain the data rights and interests information of the collection device (such as a sensor), and use the data rights and interests information to clarify data ownership, data processing rights, data use rights and other rights. Exemplarily, in a sensor perception scenario, the data management center can first obtain the data rights and interests of the sensor through a dedicated rights and interests message or a confirmation message, and then collect data. Among them, the way in which the data management center obtains the data rights and interests of the sensor includes: obtaining from a rights and interests management network element (such as a rights and interests contract database); the data management center sends a request message for data rights and interests information or a configuration message for data rights and interests information to the sensor, and receives a response message from the sensor, and the response message carries the data rights and interests information of the sensor.

[0237] The data management center may include at least one of the following: NWDAF, MDAF, new network element, data plane network element and 6G new data management entity. The rights management network element may include at least one of the following: data management center, NRF, UDM, core network element, new network element, data plane network element or 6G new data management entity.

[0238] In other embodiments, during the data analysis and model training process of the data analysis network element, feature data sets and data models will be generated, and these data sets and data models also need to be managed for rights and interests. That is, in addition to sending the data rights and interests information of the data collection network element to the data analysis network element, the rights and interests management center network element also needs to negotiate the data rights and interests of the data analysis network element.

[0239] Exemplarily, after receiving the data rights and interests information corresponding to the data collection network element sent by the rights and interests management center network element, the data analysis network element sends data rights and interests request information of the data analysis network element to the rights and interests management center network element (the data rights and interests request information includes: a request for rights and interests such as ownership of the feature data set and / or data model generated in the data analysis process, profit sharing strategy, transaction settlement method, etc.); accordingly, the rights and interests management center network element determines the data rights and interests of the data analysis network element based on the data rights and interests request information of the data analysis network element, and sends the data rights and interests information of the data analysis network element to the data analysis network element (for example, the rights and interests management center network element sends a broadcast message, and the broadcast message includes the data rights and interests information of the data analysis network element).

[0240] The network element of the rights management center may include at least one of the following: a core network element (such as PCF, SMF, UDM, UPF or UDR, etc.) and a new network element (such as a data plane management network element). The data analysis network element may include at least one of the following: a core network element (such as an NWDAF network element) and a new network element (such as a data plane analysis network element).

[0241] Scenario 7: Introduce the rights and interests management network element, which will perform rights and interests management.

[0242] In some embodiments, the network subject may manage data rights and interests by exchanging information related to data rights and interests with the rights and interests management network element.

[0243] Exemplarily, the equity management network element may be a function, entity, node, protocol layer or component related to equity. For example, the equity management network element is an equity management function, an equity management entity, an equity management node, an equity management layer or an equity management component. For example, the equity management network element may include at least one of the following: a task manager, a network controller, a core network function, a wireless access network, a new network management entity, a new protocol layer and a new component. Described from the perspective of type, the equity management network element includes but is not limited to: an equity execution network element, an equity acquisition network element, an equity reporting network element, an equity request network element, an enhanced network element that adds equity functions to existing network elements, etc.

[0244] Exemplarily, the rights management network element can be a new network function of the core network; or, the rights management network element can be a part of the core network network function; or, the rights management network element can be deployed together with the core network function; for example, the rights management network element can be deployed in the CU, DU, PDCP layer, RLC layer, MAC layer or as an independent functional protocol layer.

[0245] Exemplarily, from the perspective of network hierarchy, the rights management network element can be a centralized rights management network element, or the rights management network element can also be a multi-level and multi-level management network element. For example, the core network serves as a centralized rights management network element. For another example, the core network serves as a first-level rights management network element, responsible for the rights management of the entire network; the base station serves as a second-level rights management network element, performing wireless side rights management under the authorization of the core network; the terminal serves as a third-level rights management network element, performing rights negotiation interaction between terminals under the authorization of the core network and / or the base station.

[0246] Exemplarily, the rights management network element may also be a distributed rights management network element, each of which has certain rights formulation, rights negotiation and rights trading capabilities. For example, each terminal has certain data rights, and data rights trading is performed between terminals.

[0247] Exemplarily, the equity management network element may also be an enhanced network element, for example, an equity management unit is added to the CU to form a CU enhanced network element with an equity management function.

[0248] Scenario 8: Lifecycle management of data rights and interests.

[0249] During the process of data generation and extinction, data rights and interests may also change. The validity period of data rights and interests and the life cycle of data rights and interests may be unrelated to the life cycle of data, that is, the life cycle management of data rights and interests includes the life cycle management from the generation of rights and interests to the extinction of rights and interests. The rights and interests of data may also disappear during the existence of data, and the rights and interests of data may still exist when the data disappears. For example, the terminal provides measurement data to the network management center, and the network management center grants the terminal a one-month profit-sharing right for the measurement data. After one month, the network management center terminates the terminal's profit-sharing right for the measurement data and provides the data to other network entities for free. For example, an operator provides data to a third-party AI model training platform for AI model training to generate an AI model. Exemplarily, the third-party AI model training platform must first send data rights and interests request information to the operator (requesting to obtain the corresponding data usage rights to train the AI ​​model); accordingly, the operator determines the data rights and interests of the third-party AI model training platform based on the data rights and interests request information sent by the third-party AI model training platform, and sends the data rights and interests information of the third-party AI model training platform. Among them, the data rights and interests information stipulates that: the operator provides data to the third-party AI model training platform, and the third-party AI model training platform has the right to use the data, but the ownership of the data belongs to the operator; the AI ​​model generated by the third-party AI model training platform through data training belongs to the third-party AI model training platform, but the operator has the right to share the benefits of the AI ​​model for a certain period of time. It can be seen from the content stipulated in the data rights and interests information that even if the data provided by the operator is no longer used, the data rights and interests can still exist for a period of time (for example, the operator has the right to share the benefits of the AI ​​model for a certain period of time).

[0250] Scenario 9: Rights management of new network elements.

[0251] With the development of technology, a variety of new network elements will appear in the future, and these new network elements will bring new value benefits to the network. For example, smart super terminals can provide important wireless network coverage, relay services and collaborative work in local scenarios. Exemplarily, determining the rights and interests of smart super terminals can be achieved as follows: the network or operator first determines the data rights and interests of the smart super terminal based on the capability information reported by the smart terminal, and then sends the data rights and interests information belonging to the smart super terminal to the smart terminal. In this way, it can be encouraged to provide auxiliary network services to maximize the use of terminal resources. At the same time, smart super terminals can also obtain certain value feedback benefits by receiving data rights and interests information.

[0252] In some embodiments, the self-deployment of new network element nodes can alleviate the deployment difficulties of operators; for example, the new network element nodes may include at least one of the following: reconfigurable intelligence surface (RIS), home or enterprise small base stations, and roadside equipment. Exemplarily, the operator encourages building properties to install RIS patches on the glass exterior walls of the building by granting data rights to building properties; the operator negotiates with households or enterprises to allow households or enterprises to have data rights to build their own base stations, and encourages households or enterprises to build flexibly deployed small base stations (households and enterprises are responsible for jurisdiction) to improve network coverage capabilities. Rights management fully utilizes the value of network participants through data rights confirmation and data rights information transmission for the above-mentioned new network elements, as well as the process of new network elements obtaining data rights, and reduces the network procurement costs and the pressure of network planning, construction and maintenance of telecom operators.

[0253] Scenario 10: Data rights and information transactions.

[0254] With the future integrated deployment of space, air and land, ground telecom operators can use the satellite antenna resources of satellite operators to achieve wireless coverage of remote or special areas, and satellite operators can also share and utilize the surplus computing resources of ground telecom operators. Different operators need to transfer data rights information when interacting with each other, and learn about data rights transaction rules, billing methods and data transaction methods through data rights information, so as to conduct commercial transactions based on data rights information.
