Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a data collaboration method, apparatus, communication device and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The current Radio Access Network (RAN) usually adopts the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard architecture and relies on dedicated hardware equipment for implementation, which is referred to as 3GPP RAN. With the development of wireless communications, some organizations have proposed a multi-vendor interoperability cooperation model based on open interfaces and white box hardware to enhance the flexibility, scalability and intelligence of radio access networks, including open radio access networks (O-RAN), etc. Such radio access networks are collectively referred to as non-3GPP RAN.

[0003] There are differences between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN in terms of data collection methods and interfaces. For example, 3GPP RAN collects data through network management reporting, while non-3GPP RAN can use more flexible interfaces, including standard interfaces and non-standard interfaces (for example, the E2 and A1 interfaces defined in O-RAN). This difference results in the inability to communicate data between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, which is not conducive to accurate judgment of network behavior and unified scheduling of the entire network.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0046] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] The data collaboration method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. The first wireless access network 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network, and the server 104 communicates with the second wireless access network 106 through the network. The first wireless access network 102 may be a wireless access network built based on the 3GPP standard, including but not limited to 5G RAN, 6G RAN, etc., and the second wireless access network 106 may be a wireless access network built based on non-3GPP standards, including but not limited to O-RAN, etc. The server 104 may be a core network or an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a data collaboration method is provided. In this embodiment, the method is applied to Figure 1 The server 104 in FIG. 1 is used as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S202: When a data coordination request sent by the first radio access network is received, a second radio access network is determined; the second radio access network is heterogeneous with the first radio access network.

[0050] The data collaboration request may be a signal for requesting to provide data.

[0051] In a specific implementation, a server may be deployed within the communication distance of the first wireless access network, and one or more candidate wireless access networks heterogeneous with the first wireless access network may be deployed within the coverage of the server. When the first wireless access network requires data collaboration, a data collaboration request may be sent to the server. When the server receives the data collaboration request, it selects a candidate wireless access network that can meet the data collaboration request and uses the candidate wireless access network as the second wireless access network.

[0052] For example, when 3GPP RAN does not have the ability to collect specified types of data in real time, it can send a data coordination request to the server. When the server receives the data coordination request, it searches for a non-3GPP RAN within its coverage area that can collect the specified type of data in real time. If it cannot find the non-3GPP RAN, it rejects the data coordination request of the 3GPP RAN. If it can find the non-3GPP RAN, it forwards the data coordination request to the found non-3GPP RAN.

[0053] For another example, when the local storage data of 3GPP RAN does not meet the business requirements, a data coordination request can be sent to the server. When the server receives the data coordination request, it checks whether its own local storage data can meet the business requirements. If so, it returns its own local storage data to 3GPP RAN. Otherwise, if it cannot be met, it broadcasts the data coordination request. Non-3GPP RANs within the coverage of the server perceive the data coordination request, check whether their own local storage data can meet the business requirements, and return a message to the server whether it can or cannot meet the business requirements.

[0054] Step S204: Send data scheduling information to the second radio access network, so that the second radio access network sends the coordinated data corresponding to the data coordination request to the first radio access network according to the data scheduling information.

[0055] The data scheduling information may be information indicating that the coordinated data is to be sent to the first radio access network, including but not limited to a data transmission path, data transmission resources, etc. The coordinated data may be data provided to the first radio access network.

[0056] In a specific implementation, after selecting the second wireless access network, the server may determine data scheduling information and send the data scheduling information to the second wireless access network. The second wireless access network may send the coordinated data to the first wireless access network based on the received data scheduling information.

[0057] For example, after finding a non-3GPP RAN that can collect specified types of data in real time, a data transmission path can be planned and sent to the non-3GPP RAN. The non-3GPP RAN forwards the real-time collected data to the 3GPP RAN based on the received data transmission path.

[0058] For another example, after receiving a message sent by a non-3GPP RAN that meets business needs, the server can determine data transmission resources and send the data transmission resources to the non-3GPP RAN. The non-3GPP RAN sends its own locally stored data to the 3GPP RAN based on the received data transmission resources.

[0059] The above-mentioned data collaboration method determines the second wireless access network when receiving the data collaboration request sent by the first wireless access network, the second wireless access network is heterogeneous with the first wireless access network, and sends data scheduling information to the second wireless access network, so that the second wireless access network sends the collaboration data corresponding to the data collaboration request to the first wireless access network according to the data scheduling information; since the server is introduced, when the first wireless access network needs to perform data collaboration, the server can select the second wireless access network according to the data collaboration request of the first wireless access network, and the second wireless access network provides the collaboration data to the first wireless access network, thereby realizing data intercommunication between heterogeneous wireless access networks.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the first wireless access network sends a data collaboration request to the server when the first local data does not meet the preset requirements; the first local data is the local data of the first wireless access network, and the preset requirements include at least one of the data type matching the preset type and the data quantity being not less than a preset quantity threshold.

[0061] The preset type may be a preset data type, and the preset quantity threshold may be a preset quantity threshold.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the first radio access network may send a data coordination request to the server when the data type of the local data does not match the preset type, or the data quantity of the local data is lower than a preset quantity threshold.

[0063] For example, when the 3GPP RAN lacks data of a specified type, the amount of data of a specified type is insufficient, or the 3GPP RAN does not have the real-time collection capability of data of a specified type, a data coordination request may be sent to the server.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the first local data does not meet the preset requirements, the first wireless access network sends a data coordination request to the server, so that when the data is insufficient, the 3GPP RAN can request the non-3GPP RAN for data coordination to ensure that the 3GPP RAN data is sufficient to meet business needs.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the server is provided with a data management module and a resource scheduling module; the above-mentioned data collaboration method may further specifically include: the data management module sends a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module; the resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information according to the received data transmission request.

[0066] The data management module may be a module with functions such as data collection, reporting, and processing, and may be an independent communication device or integrated in a server. The resource scheduling module may be a module with functions such as communication resource scheduling and computing resource scheduling, and may be an independent communication device or integrated in a server. The data transmission request may be a signal requesting the allocation of a data transmission path, data transmission resources, and the like.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the server may be provided with a data management module and a resource scheduling module. After determining the second wireless access network, the data management module may send a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module. When receiving the data transmission request, the resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information between the second wireless access network and the first wireless access network.

[0068] For example, after determining the non-3GPP RAN for data collaboration, the data management module sends a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module. The data transmission request may carry information of the 3GPP RAN and the non-3GPP RAN. The resource scheduling module determines the data transmission path and data transmission resources for the non-3GPP RAN to transmit the collaborative data to the 3GPP RAN based on the data transmission request, and sends the data transmission path and data transmission resources to the non-3GPP RAN. The non-3GPP RAN sends the collaborative data to the 3GPP RAN based on the received data transmission path and data transmission resources.

[0069] In this embodiment, a data transmission request is sent to a resource scheduling module through the data management module. The resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information based on the received data transmission request, and can plan the path and resources for transmitting collaborative data from non-3GPP RAN to 3GPP RAN, thereby ensuring efficient and reliable transmission of collaborative data.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the above step S202 may specifically include: when a data collaboration request is received, the data management module broadcasts the data collaboration request if the second local data does not meet the preset requirements; the second local data is the local data of the server; the data management module determines the second wireless access network based on the response message returned by the candidate wireless access network within the coverage area.

[0071] The candidate wireless access network may be all non-3GPP RANs within the coverage of the server. The response message may be a message indicating whether the collaborative data meeting the preset requirements can be provided.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the data management module in the server can determine whether the local data of the server meets the preset requirements when receiving a data collaboration request. If it meets the preset requirements, the collaborative data can be selected from the local data of the server and returned to the first wireless access network; otherwise, if the local data of the server does not meet the preset requirements, the data management module can broadcast the data collaboration request. After one or more candidate wireless access networks within the coverage area of ​​the server perceive the data collaboration request, they can return a response message to the data management module based on whether they can provide collaborative data that meets the preset requirements. For example, the candidate wireless access network can return a message agreeing to conduct data collaboration when it can provide collaborative data that meets the preset requirements, and return a message refusing to conduct data collaboration when it cannot provide collaborative data that meets the preset requirements. If the data management module receives a message agreeing to conduct data collaboration, it can determine the corresponding candidate wireless access network as the second wireless access network.

[0073] It can be understood that if the data management module receives only messages rejecting data collaboration, it means that no candidate wireless access network can provide collaborative data that meets the preset requirements. At this time, the data management module can return a rejection message to the first wireless access network to reject the data collaboration request of the first wireless access network.

[0074] In this embodiment, when a data collaboration request is received, the data management module broadcasts the data collaboration request if the second local data does not meet the preset requirements. The second local data is the local data of the server. The data management module determines the second wireless access network based on the response message returned by the candidate wireless access network within the coverage area. The collaboration data can be searched on the server preferentially. If the server cannot provide the collaboration data, the collaboration data is provided by searching for non-3GPP RAN through broadcast, thereby improving the efficiency of data collaboration.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the above data coordination method may further specifically include: when each candidate wireless access network within the coverage area returns a first rejection message, the data management module sends a second rejection message for the data coordination request to the first wireless access network.

[0076] The first rejection message may be a rejection message returned by the candidate wireless access network to the server. The second rejection message may be a rejection message returned by the server to the first wireless access network.

[0077] In a specific implementation, after the data management module of the server broadcasts a data collaboration request, if all candidate wireless access networks within the coverage area of ​​the server return a first rejection message for the data collaboration request, it means that no candidate wireless access network can provide collaborative data that meets the preset requirements. At this time, the data management module of the server can send a second rejection message to the first wireless access network to reject the data collaboration request of the first wireless access network.

[0078] In this embodiment, when all candidate wireless access networks within the coverage area return a first rejection message, the data management module sends a second rejection message for the data collaboration request to the first wireless access network, so that the 3GPP RAN can be notified that no non-3GPP RAN can provide collaborative data, thereby ensuring reliable interaction of information between the 3GPP RAN and the non-3GPP RAN, and ensuring that the 3GPP RAN can take corresponding measures in a timely manner.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the above-mentioned data collaboration method may further specifically include: when a data collaboration request is received, the data management module obtains collaboration data based on the second local data if the second local data meets the preset requirements, and sends a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module; the resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information based on the received data transmission request, and sends the collaboration data to the first wireless access network based on the data scheduling information.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the data management module in the server can determine whether the local data of the server meets the preset requirements when receiving a data collaboration request. If it meets the preset requirements, the collaborative data can be selected from the local data of the server. The data management module can also send a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module. When receiving the data transmission request, the resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information for transmitting the collaborative data from the server to the first wireless access network, and sends the collaborative data from the server to the first wireless access network according to the data scheduling information.

[0081] In this embodiment, when a data collaboration request is received, the data management module obtains collaboration data based on the second local data if the second local data meets the preset requirements, and sends a data transmission request to the resource scheduling module. The resource scheduling module determines the data scheduling information based on the received data transmission request, and sends the collaboration data to the first wireless access network based on the data scheduling information. When the server is able to provide the collaboration data, the server can directly provide the collaboration data to the 3GPP RAN, thereby improving the efficiency of data collaboration.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, the above data coordination method may further specifically include: performing standardized processing on the coordination data; and sending the standardized coordination data to the first radio access network.

[0083] Among them, the standardization processing includes but is not limited to word segmentation, labeling, denoising, normalization and other processing.

[0084] In a specific implementation, the server may perform standardization processing on the collaborative data found from the second local data, and send the standardized collaborative data to the first wireless access network. The server may also send a standardized processing instruction to the second wireless access network, so that the second wireless access network performs standardized processing on the collaborative data to be transmitted according to the received standardized processing instruction, and sends the standardized collaborative data to the first wireless access network.

[0085] In this embodiment, by standardizing the coordination data and sending the standardized coordination data to the first radio access network, it is possible to ensure compatibility between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN data and improve network performance.

[0086] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to have a deeper understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a specific example will be described below.

[0087] In order to improve the intelligence level of the network and achieve efficient network management and optimization, it is necessary to solve the problem of data collaboration and intercommunication between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN to achieve seamless flow of data between different network architectures. In view of this, this application proposes a data collaboration method for 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, which aims to achieve data collaboration and intercommunication between heterogeneous wireless access network architectures through data sharing and collaboration mechanisms, thereby providing technical support for data and intelligent services.

[0088] refer to Figure 3 The above-mentioned data coordination method includes setting up a wireless intelligent management and orchestration function outside the 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN (for example, cloud native RAN and other RAN solutions, etc.), and a data coordination processing process based on the wireless intelligent management and orchestration function, wherein gNB represents a 5G base station, CU-CP represents a centralized unit and user plane protocol, CU represents a centralized unit, DU represents a distributed unit, and RU represents a wireless unit.

[0089] The wireless intelligent management and orchestration function can be implemented through the core network or server and other equipment. The wireless intelligent management and orchestration function integrates a data management service module and a general computing resource scheduling module.

[0090] Among them, the data management service module is responsible for realizing the functions of data collection, reporting and processing in the wireless access network 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, and solving the problems of data collection type differences and data intercommunication inability caused by differences in data collection interfaces and processes between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN. The data management service module can realize data collection in a unified mode, such as message queue reporting mode, and pre-process the collected data, such as word segmentation and labeling, so as to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data processing.

[0091] Among them, the general computing resource scheduling module is responsible for scheduling communication resources and computing resources to collaboratively complete functions such as data transmission, reporting and processing. Through intelligent resource scheduling, this application can effectively realize data interoperability under the heterogeneous wireless access network architecture, improve the speed and efficiency of data collaboration, and to a certain extent realize the integrated scheduling of network data.

[0092] The above data collaboration method solves the data collection and processing problems caused by incompatible data interfaces between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN. By introducing wireless intelligent management and orchestration functions, the integrated collection and processing of data between different network architectures can be realized, improving the efficiency and accuracy of data processing. At the same time, the general computing resource scheduling module can intelligently allocate and schedule communication resources and computing resources according to the needs of data processing, optimize the use of network resources, and improve the speed and efficiency of data processing.

[0093] The above data collaboration method can be applied to scenarios such as network liberalization, wireless communication based on large models, and digital twins. Taking wireless communication based on large models as an example, in order to solve the problem of missing data types when 3GPP RAN trains artificial intelligence (AI) models, data can be requested from the non-3GPP RAN side. Specifically, since 3GPP RAN is restricted by manufacturers, operators may not get the required data. This part of the data can be obtained through non-3GPP RAN. For example, O-RAN's E2 and A1 interfaces can realize real-time data collection according to the needs of operators or scenarios, and are not restricted by manufacturers, so operators can control it independently. Figure 4 A data collaboration-based model training process is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0094] Step S401, 3GPP RAN implements real-time training of the AI ​​model according to specific needs, and finds that the 3GPP RAN side lacks or does not currently have the ability to collect a certain type of data in real time when training data is in use, and cannot implement real-time training of the AI ​​model, so a data coordination request is sent to the data management service module side;

[0095] Step S402, the data management service module seeks whether the non-3GPP RAN within the current coverage area can collect the requested data type in real time. If it cannot collect the data, the data coordination request is rejected. If it can collect the data, the data coordination request is forwarded to the non-3GPP RAN side, and a data transmission request is sent to the general computing resource scheduling module at the same time;

[0096] In step S403, the general computing resource scheduling module plans the data forwarding path, and the non-3GPP RAN collects data in real time and transmits the data to the 3GPP RAN side to realize real-time training of the AI ​​model.

[0097] When it is necessary to process multiple types of business data in third-party business scenarios such as digital twins, 3GPP RAN may not be able to meet the data requirements. At this time, it can collaborate with non-3GPP RAN to meet the data business requirements of third-party scenarios. Figure 5 It provides a process for data collaboration to support data business scenarios, which includes the following steps:

[0098] Step S501: a data service request is accessed by a 3GPP RAN node, and a third-party service sends a service request, which mainly includes a data type and a data size. Such data mainly includes RAN-related operation data and status data.

[0099] Step S502, the access side 3GPP RAN first determines whether the local storage data type and data volume meet the requirements, and if so, directly transmits the data to the third party; if not, forwards the service request to the data management service module;

[0100] Step S503, the data management service module checks whether the current local data processing meets the requirements. If so, it sends a data transmission request to the general computing resource scheduling module. The general computing resource scheduling module coordinates network resources and transmits the data of the data storage node where the data management service module is located to the 3GPP RAN access point to achieve data transmission; if the local data of the data management service module does not meet the requirements, it broadcasts a data coordination request to the non-3GPP RAN node;

[0101] Step S504, the non-3GPP RAN node senses the data coordination request, checks whether the local node has corresponding required data, and if not, directly returns the data coordination request to the data management service module, the data management service module notifies the 3GPP RAN to reject the service request, and the 3GPP RAN forwards the service request rejection information to the third party, or the data management service module directly sends the service request rejection information to the third party;

[0102] In step S505, if the non-3GPP RAN node has corresponding storage information, the data management service module sends a data transmission request to the general computing resource scheduling module, and the general computing resource scheduling module coordinates network resources to complete the data transmission from the non-3GPP RAN node to the 3GPP RAN node, and transmits the data to the service requester through the 3GPP RAN node to complete the service requester's needs.

[0103] The above-mentioned data collaboration method can realize the coordinated scheduling of data between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, and improve the accuracy of AI application in the network. For example, in the digital twin scenario, multi-dimensional and large amounts of data are required to complete the training of the AI ​​model on the digital twin side. Only collecting data from 3GPP RAN or non-3GPP RAN will result in the lack of some data volume and data dimensions, affecting the training accuracy. The data provided by the above-mentioned data collaboration method can improve the accuracy of the training model.

[0104] In summary, by setting up a data management service module, you can use a standardized interface to collect data, and by pre-processing the data, such as word segmentation and labeling, you can improve the efficiency and accuracy of data processing.

[0105] Moreover, by co-scheduling the data collected by 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, when 3GPP RAN is unable to collect data in real time, the data can be forwarded to non-3GPP RAN for processing. By utilizing the data collection and processing capabilities of non-3GPP RAN, real-time data collection and processing can be achieved, thereby improving the real-time performance and response speed of the network.

[0106] Furthermore, based on the differences in collected data caused by the differences in the interfaces of 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, comprehensive data collection and processing are achieved through complementary data collection strategies to meet diverse business needs and improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data collection.

[0107] In addition, the data management service module solves the problem of incompatibility of data interfaces between 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN, and realizes unified reporting and collaborative processing of data after collection between different network architectures of 3GPP RAN and non-3GPP RAN.
