[0037] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application.

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of a subscription data acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1As shown, the scenario includes a consumer network element 101 and a UDM network element 102, where the consumer network element 101 can be an SMSF (English: Short Message Service Function; Chinese: Short Message Service Function) network element, or an AMF (English: Authentication Management Function; Chinese: Authentication Management Function) network element, or an SMF (English: Session Management Function; Chinese: Session Management Function) network element, etc. The consumer network element 101 and the UDM network element 102 can be connected to a service bus to realize communication between each other through the service bus, which can also be understood as a message bus. One network element can call the service provided by other network elements by sending a message to the target network element on the service bus. The above-mentioned network elements are network elements of a core network in a wireless communication network, where the wireless communication network can be a Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) or a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, or a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) network, or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, or a 5G network, which is not limited here.

[0039] In the current 3GPP standard, the consumer network element, such as the SMSF network element, calls the Nudm SDM related service (such as the Nudm_SDM_Get or Nudm_SDM_Update service) to send a short message management subscription data request to the UDM network element to obtain the short message management subscription data of the UE from the UDM network element. In this process, part of the short message management subscription data of the UE is shared, and the UDM network element can return only the shared data identifier to the SMSF network element without returning the specific data.

[0040] However, in some cases, such as when the SMSF network element has not read the cache or the cache data is lost, etc., the shared short message management subscription data at the SMSF network element is unavailable, and the SMSF network element cannot identify the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifier, the Nudm_SDM_Get service needs to be called again to obtain the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifier from the UDM network element. This requires multiple interactions between the SMSF network element and the UDM network element to obtain the shared short message management subscription data, increasing the interaction complexity and existing problems of low interaction efficiency between network elements.

[0041] Based on the above technical problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a subscription data acquisition method, a consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request carrying a first shared data identifier to a UDM network element, the first shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known by the consumer network element, and then the consumer network element receives target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element, the target short message management subscription data includes shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element, so that the consumer network element will not send a request to the UDM network element again when it is found that the data corresponding to the shared data identifier in the short message management subscription data cannot be acquired from the local after receiving the short message management subscription data, thereby reducing the interaction times between the consumer network element and the UDM network element, and further improving the interaction efficiency between the network elements.

[0042] It should be noted that the beneficial effects brought by the embodiment of the present application or the technical problems solved are not limited to this, but also other implicit or related problems, which can be referred to the description of the following embodiments.

[0043] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0044] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , a subscription data acquisition method is provided, which is applied to a consumer network element in Figure 1 for example, and includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 201, the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request to the UDM network element, and the short message management subscription data request carries a first shared data identifier, wherein the first shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known by the consumer network element.

[0046] Among them, the consumer network element includes at least one of an SMSF network element, an AMF network element and an SMF network element, etc. The short message management subscription data request refers to a request for acquiring short message management subscription data of a UE.

[0047] The shared short message management subscription data can be data applicable to different UEs, or data applicable to the same UE in different business processes.

[0048] Optionally, the consumer network element traverses the cache or traverses the local disk to obtain the identifier of the shared short message management subscription data known by the consumer network element, i.e., the first shared data identifier. Then, the consumer network element calls the Nudm_SDM_Get service to send the short message management subscription data request carrying the first shared data identifier to the UDM network element.

[0049] In step 202, the consumer network element receives the target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element, and the target short message management subscription data includes the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0050] Optionally, after the UDM network element receives the short message management subscription data request carrying the first shared data identifier sent by the consumer network element, the UDM network element obtains all the shared data identifiers corresponding to the short message management subscription data request based on the short message management subscription data request. Then, the UDM network element compares the first shared data identifier with all the shared data identifiers obtained by the UDM network element, obtains the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier from all the shared data identifiers, and then sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier to the consumer network element.

[0051] For example, the shared data identifiers stored in the UDM network element are A, B, C, D, E, F, and H. The UDM network element judges that all the shared short message management subscription data needed by the consumer network element in the current business process according to the short message management subscription data request are corresponding to the shared data identifiers A, B, C, and D. The first shared data identifier sent by the consumer network element is B and C. Then, the UDM network element sends only the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to A and D to the consumer network element.

[0052] In another optional embodiment, after the UDM network element receives the short message management subscription data request, the UDM network element compares the first shared data identifier with all the shared data identifiers stored in the UDM network element, and then sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier to the consumer network element. It should be noted that all the shared data identifiers here include not only all the shared data identifiers corresponding to the short message management subscription data request, but also other shared data identifiers corresponding to other shared short message management subscription data that are not needed by the consumer network element in the current business process. The purpose is that the consumer network element does not need the UDM network element to send the shared short message management subscription data in other business processes, and only needs to send the shared data identifiers needed by the consumer network element in other business processes.

[0053] For example, the shared data identifiers stored in the UDM network element are A, B, C, D, E, F, and H, all the shared short message management subscription data needed by the consumer network element in this service process corresponds to the shared data identifiers A, B, C, and D, and the first shared data identifier sent by the consumer network element is B and C. The UDM network element sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers A, D, E, and H to the consumer network element.

[0054] In another optional embodiment, after the UDM network element receives the short message management subscription data request, the UDM network element acquires all the shared data identifiers needed by the consumer network element based on the short message management subscription data request according to a preset rule, compares the first shared data identifier with all the shared data identifiers needed by the consumer network element, and then sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier to the consumer network element. The preset rule can be to acquire all the shared data identifiers needed by the consumer network element for the target UE according to the target UE identifier in the short message management subscription data request.

[0055] For example, the shared data identifiers stored in the UDM network element are A, B, C, D, E, F, and H, all the shared data identifiers needed by the target UE consumer network element are A, B, C, D, E, and H, but all the shared short message management subscription data needed by the consumer network element in this service process corresponds to the shared data identifiers A, B, C, and D, and the first shared data identifier sent by the consumer network element is B and C. The UDM network element sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers A, D, E, and H to the consumer network element.

[0056] The shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier is the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element. The UDM network element sends the shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the shared data identifiers that do not match the first shared data identifier to the consumer network element, so that the consumer network element will receive the target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element.

[0057] In the method for obtaining the subscription data, the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request carrying the first shared data identifier to the UDM network element, the first shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known by the consumer network element, and then the consumer network element receives target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element, the target short message management subscription data includes shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element. In this way, the consumer network element will not send a request to the UDM network element again when it is found that the data corresponding to the shared data identifier in the short message management subscription data cannot be obtained from the local after receiving the short message management subscription data, thereby reducing the number of interactions between the consumer network element and the UDM network element, and further improving the interaction efficiency between the network elements.

[0058] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes that the consumer network element receives a second shared data identifier sent by the UDM network element, and the second shared data identifier includes an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0059] Optionally, the consumer network element not only receives the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element, but also receives an identifier of the short message management subscription data corresponding to the short message management subscription data request, i.e., a second shared data identifier, so that the consumer network element knows which data are needed in the current business process. It can be understood that if the first shared data identifier has multiple identifiers to form a first shared data identifier set, and the second shared data identifier has multiple identifiers to form a second shared data identifier set, the second shared data identifier set is a subset of the first shared data identifier set.

[0060] In one of the embodiments, the target short message management subscription data further includes non-shared short message management subscription data in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0061] The non-shared short message management subscription data can be different data for different UEs or different data for the same UE in different business processes.

[0062] Optionally, the consumer network element receives non-shared short message management subscription data and shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element sent by the UDM network element.

[0063] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes that the consumer network element receives a third shared data identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element sent by the UDM network element, and the consumer network element stores the third shared data identifier and the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element correspondingly.

[0064] Optionally, the UDM network element not only sends the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element to the consumer network element, but also sends the third shared data identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element to the consumer network element, so that the consumer network element stores the third shared data identifier, and thus the UDM network element does not need to send the shared short message management subscription data when the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request next time, which can greatly reduce resource consumption.

[0065] In one of the embodiments, the consumer network element sends short message management subscription data requests corresponding to different UEs to the UDM network element, and each short message management subscription data request carries a first shared data identifier corresponding to a UE, wherein each first shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data corresponding to the UE and known to the consumer network element; the consumer network element receives target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element, and each target short message management subscription data corresponds to a different UE; and each target short message management subscription data includes shared short message management subscription data corresponding to a UE and unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0066] In one of the embodiments, the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request to the UDM network element, and the short message management subscription data request carries a fourth shared data identifier, wherein the fourth shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element; the consumer network element receives target short message management subscription data sent by the UDM network element, and the target short message management subscription data includes shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0067] Optionally, the consumer network element stores a shared data identifier table, which can be statically configured and includes a plurality of shared data identifiers. The consumer network element queries the fourth shared data identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element according to the shared data identifier table, and then sends a short message management subscription data request carrying the fourth shared data identifier to the UDM network element.

[0068] In another optional embodiment, the consumer network element accesses a cache storing shared short message management subscription data, and the identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data that cannot be accessed is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element, that is, the fourth shared data identifier, and then the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request carrying the fourth shared data identifier to the UDM network element.

[0069] In one of the embodiments, Figure 3 A signaling interaction flowchart of a subscription data acquisition method is provided. As shown in Figure 3 The method includes the following steps.

[0070] Step 301, the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request carrying a first shared data identifier to the UDM network element, the first shared data identifier being an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known to the consumer network element.

[0071] Step 302, the UDM network element sends target short message management subscription data to the consumer network element, the target short message management subscription data including a second shared data identifier known to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element, shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element, a third shared data identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element, and non-shared short message management subscription data in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0072] Step 303, the consumer network element stores the third shared data identifier and the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element correspondingly.

[0073] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , another signaling interaction flowchart of a subscription data acquisition method is provided. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps. Figure 4

[0074] Step 401, the consumer network element sends a short message management subscription data request carrying a fourth shared data identifier to the UDM network element, the fourth shared data identifier being an identifier of shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element.

[0075] Step 402, the UDM network element sends target short message management subscription data to the consumer network element, the target short message management subscription data including a second shared data identifier known to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element, shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element, a third shared data identifier corresponding to the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element, and non-shared short message management subscription data in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0076] Step 403, the consumer network element stores the fourth shared data identifier and the shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element correspondingly.

[0077] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , another subscription data acquisition method is provided, which is applied to the UDM network element in Figure 1 for example, and includes the following steps.

[0078] ​At step 501, the UDM network element receives a short message management subscription data request sent by the consumer network element, and the short message management subscription data request carries a first shared data identifier, wherein the first shared data identifier is an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known to the consumer network element.

[0079] At step 502, the UDM network element sends target short message management subscription data to the consumer network element, and the target short message management subscription data includes shared short message management subscription data unknown to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.

[0080] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes: the UDM network element sends a second shared data identifier to the consumer network element, and the second shared data identifier includes an identifier of shared short message management subscription data known to the consumer network element in the short message management subscription data requested by the consumer network element.
