[0043] It should also be understood that the description of the various embodiments in the present disclosure focuses on the differences between the various embodiments, and the same or similar aspects thereof can be referenced to each other, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be described one by one.

[0044] At the same time, it should be understood that for the convenience of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship.

[0045] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0046] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0047] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0048] In addition, in order to avoid obscuring the present disclosure due to unnecessary details, only the processing steps and / or device structures closely related to at least the scheme according to the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, and other details that are not closely related to the present disclosure are omitted. It should also be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the drawings indicate similar items, and therefore once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be discussed again for subsequent drawings.

[0049] VNFD (Virtual Network Function Descriptor) is used to describe VNF (Virtual Network Function) and define the virtual resources required by VNFs, such as the number of virtual machines required and the resource configuration of each virtual machine.

[0050] NSD (Network Service Descriptor) is a document used to describe network service specifications. NSD is a standardized description method used to define various attributes of network services, including the topology, configuration parameters, resource requirements, performance requirements, etc. of network services. Through NSD, you can clearly understand the overall architecture of network services and the relationship between various components.

[0051] AppD (Application Descriptor) is a document or file used to describe, configure, and manage applications. For example, it can contain various application properties, configuration parameters, dependencies, version information, and other information related to application deployment and operation.

[0052] Helm Chart is a templated deployment description file for Kubernetes applications. Helm uses custom Chart templates to deploy Kubernetes applications. Kubernetes (K8s for short) is a container orchestration engine for automating the deployment, expansion, and management of containerized applications.

[0053] As mentioned above, in traditional technologies, current application instantiation is generally implemented through AppD, which only instantiates the business needs of the industry; the infrastructure instantiation that carries AppD is described by NSD, but they have different entrances. In addition, current communication network instantiation is generally implemented through NSD, which only instantiates network needs; communication network and application instantiation have their own separate instantiation systems.

[0054] This disclosure adopts integrated requirements, as well as integrated instantiation and management solutions, to achieve the instantiation and management of multiple resources of communication networks and application requirements under converged requirements, and at the same time expands the types of descriptors from AppD, NSD, and VNFD to containerized support, which is in line with the development of future services.

[0055] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing a unified orchestration and management system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the unified orchestration and management system of this embodiment includes: a unified orchestration unit, and may also include a unified management unit. The unified orchestration unit includes: an analysis function module, a policy function module, and an orchestration function module. The unified management unit includes: an infrastructure management module, an object management module, and a service management module.

[0057] The analysis function module is configured to respond to the requirements issued by the integrated operation support system, analyze the requirements, determine the resources and QoS (Quality of Service) requirements required for the requirements, for example, at least one of the bandwidth, delay requirements, and packet loss rate requirements, and send the analysis results to the policy function module.

[0058] The policy function module is configured to select different resources to match different requirements according to the analysis results, and send the matched resource strategy to the orchestration function module.

[0059] For example, the policy function module is configured as follows: if the analysis result indicates that the demand is a video application demand, the required bandwidth is higher than a preset first bandwidth threshold, and the packet loss rate is lower than a preset first packet loss rate threshold, the matching resources include: network service descriptors, application descriptors, and containerized deployment resources of virtual network functions, wherein a network service descriptor includes multiple virtual network function descriptors, and a virtual network function descriptor describes a virtual network function.

[0060] For example, the policy function module is configured as follows: if the analysis result indicates that the demand is an industrial control application demand, the latency is lower than a preset first latency threshold, and the packet loss rate is lower than a preset second packet loss rate threshold, the matching resources include: a network service descriptor, and a virtual machine deployment resource of a virtual network function, wherein a network service descriptor includes multiple virtual network function descriptors, and a virtual network function descriptor describes a virtual network function.

[0061] For example, the policy function module is configured as follows: if the analysis result indicates that the demand is an augmented reality application demand, the latency is lower than a preset second latency threshold, and the required bandwidth is higher than a preset second bandwidth threshold, the matching resources include: network service descriptors, application descriptors, and containerized deployment resources of virtual network functions, wherein a network service descriptor includes multiple virtual network function descriptors, and a virtual network function descriptor describes a virtual network function.

[0062] For example, the policy function module is configured as follows: if the analysis result indicates that the requirement is a core network network function requirement or an access network network function requirement, the matching resources include: network service descriptors, containerized deployment resources of virtual network functions, wherein a network service descriptor includes multiple virtual network function descriptors, and a virtual network function descriptor describes a virtual network function.

[0063] The orchestration function module is configured to perform corresponding orchestration according to the resource strategy corresponding to the demand, for example, instantiate an object corresponding to the resource strategy on the infrastructure, load a program on the object, and form a network entity.

[0064] The infrastructure management module is configured to uniformly manage the infrastructure, for example, at least one of computing resources, storage resources, network resources, and other virtualized resources.

[0065] The object management module is configured to uniformly manage various instantiated objects, such as at least one of a virtual network function object and an application object. The application object includes, for example, an MEC application object.

[0066] The service management module is configured to uniformly manage various network entities. The various network entities include: at least one of: Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Session Management Function (SMF), User Plane Function (UPF), Authentication Server Function (AUSF), Policy Control Function (PCF), video application, and audio application.

[0067] AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function): Responsible for user access and mobility management, performing registration, connection, reachability, mobility management and other functions.

[0068] SMF (Session Management Function): responsible for user session management, including tunnel maintenance, IP address allocation and management, UPF selection, policy implementation and QoS control, billing data collection, roaming, etc.

[0069] UPF (User Plane Function): Responsible for user plane processing, including packet routing and forwarding, policy implementation, traffic reporting, QoS processing, etc.

[0070] AUSF (Authentication Server Function): Responsible for authenticating users' 3GPP and non-3GPP access.

[0071] PCF (Policy Control Function): responsible for user policy control, including session policy, mobility policy, etc.

[0072] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing a unified arrangement and management method of some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the unified arrangement and management method of this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0073] In step 21, a certain demand is sent to the unified orchestration and management system via the integrated operation support system (OSS).

[0074] The converged operation support system integrates the functions of the business side operation support system and the network side operation support system. The business side requirements and network side requirements are sent to the unified orchestration and management system through the converged operation support system.

[0075] In step 22, the analysis function module performs a detailed analysis on the demand to determine the resources and quality of service (QoS) requirements required for the demand, such as the required bandwidth, delay requirements, packet loss rate requirements, etc. The analysis function module sends the analysis results to the policy function module.

[0076] In step 23, the policy function module selects different resource strategies to match different requirements according to the analysis results, and sends the matched resource strategies to the orchestration function module.

[0077] For example, video applications require high bandwidth and may tolerate slight packet loss. Then the policy matches the resources to multiple VNFDs to form an NSD and AppD. At the same time, it is also possible to directly use open source solutions to deploy VNFs, such as using Helm Chart to deploy Kubernetes clusters and containerized VNFs (because packet loss can be tolerated). Each VNF is described by a VNFD.

[0078] For example, industrial control applications may require ultra-low latency and have a very low tolerance for packet loss. This type of application uses a virtual machine and an NSD composed of multiple VNFDs.

[0079] For example, XR (Extended Reality) applications require ultra-low latency and ultra-large bandwidth, and will match different resource descriptors. They require both ordinary AppD and NSD, and may also require Helm Chart to deploy Kubernetes and containerized VNFs.

[0080] For example, core network function requirements or access network function requirements require NSD and containerized VNFs.

[0081] In step 24, the orchestration function module performs corresponding orchestration according to the resource strategy corresponding to the demand.

[0082] Executing corresponding orchestration according to the resource strategy corresponding to the demand includes, for example: instantiating objects corresponding to the resource strategy on the infrastructure, such as VNFs, App and other objects, loading programs (software) on these objects, and forming real network entities, such as AMF, SMF, a video application, an audio application and other network entities.

[0083] The arrangement process includes the following steps:

[0084] (1) Resource selection: Based on the results of demand analysis, the orchestration function module selects appropriate resources from the resource pool for allocation.

[0085] (2) Resource deployment: Deploy the selected resources to the target environment and perform necessary configuration and initialization.

[0086] (3) Resource Scheduling: After resource deployment is completed, the orchestration function module will dynamically adjust resource allocation and usage based on resource usage and business needs.

[0087] (4) Resource monitoring: Throughout the entire process, the orchestration function module will continuously monitor resource usage and performance indicators to ensure effective use of resources and meet business needs.

[0088] (5) Resource recycling: When resources are no longer needed, the orchestration function module will recycle the resources in a timely manner and reallocate them to other businesses.

[0089] The application scenarios of orchestration include, for example, the following situations:

[0090] (1) In a cloud computing environment, the orchestration function module can automatically configure and deploy computing resources such as virtual machines and containers according to business needs.

[0091] (2) In containerized applications, the orchestration function module can automatically manage the life cycle of containers, including container creation, starting, stopping, and deletion.

[0092] (3) In a network function virtualization environment, the orchestration function module can automatically configure and manage virtual network functions (VNFs) to achieve flexible scheduling and efficient utilization of the network.

[0093] In step 25, the unified management unit manages the infrastructure and orchestration in a unified manner.

[0094] The infrastructure management module centrally manages infrastructure, such as computing resources, storage resources, network resources, and other virtualized resources.

[0095] The object management module uniformly manages various instantiated objects, such as VNFs, Apps, and other objects.

[0096] The service management module uniformly manages various network entities, such as AMF, SMF, a certain video application, a certain audio application and other network entities.

[0097] This disclosure adopts integrated requirements, as well as integrated instantiation and management solutions, to achieve the instantiation and management of multiple resources of communication networks and application requirements under converged requirements, and at the same time expands the types of descriptors from AppD, NSD, and VNFD to containerized support. It is in line with the development of future services and can be applied to application scenarios such as mobile communications and MEC.

[0098] There is no change in the hardware, only software function enhancement is required. First, the existing OSS is integrated / enhanced to form a unified requirement. Second, the orchestration management system is enhanced to adapt to different resource descriptors, such as supporting AppD, NSD, VNFD and HelmChart, Kubernetes clusters and containerized VNFs.

[0099] The above enhancements enable business demanders to input their needs in one go, improving the management and orchestration experience of heterogeneous resources.
