However, it should also be understood that determining B according to A does not mean determining B only according to A, and B can also be determined according to A and / or other information.

[0094] Related technology introduction:

[0095] like Figure 1 The figure below is a schematic diagram of the existing 5GC service-oriented architecture. The SBA architecture has the following advantages:

[0096] 1. Functional modularization: The SBA architecture does not integrate multiple functions into one network element, but decouples the functions into multiple independent functional modules and supports on-demand expansion and deployment.

[0097] 2. Interface unification: The SBA architecture replaces the traditional communication mechanism. Different interfaces are used between core network elements. The service-oriented architecture shields the differences between different interfaces and unifies the service interfaces of all devices.

[0098] 3. Simplified structure: The service modules provided by the SBA architecture can realize self-registration, eliminating the coupling between traditional devices. Users can choose network element slices according to their actual service needs, reducing system complexity and saving deployment costs.

[0099] With the global deployment of the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G), it has been proven that the service-based architecture (SBA) can effectively support large-scale user connections and service needs in ToC (ToC) scenarios. However, facing the highly customized business needs in ToB (ToB) scenarios, and the full integration of synaesthesia, computing and intelligence brought by the sixth generation mobile communication system (6G) in the future, the existing 5GC architecture still faces new challenges.

[0100] Among them, the ToB scenario requires the network architecture to have higher deployment flexibility and customizability to meet the unique needs of different industries and enterprises. At the same time, the 6G network will achieve the comprehensive integration of communication, perception, computing and intelligence, which not only requires the network to have the ability to process massive amounts of data, but also requires the network to be able to respond to changing business needs in real time and provide a higher quality service experience.

[0101] The service-oriented nature of 5GC is reflected in network functions, business management, and data applications, but does not involve the service-oriented nature of the centralized unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU) levels within the base station. At present, the task threads within the base station and the features supported by the base station are fixed when the base station software package is compiled. After the version is compiled, the base station configuration can only be adjusted by controlling the switches of the features through operation and maintenance (OM). The various levels within the base station, such as radio resource control (RRC), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), radio link control (RLC), media access control (MAC), and physical layer (PHY), are actually inseparable. The internal interface fields and data signaling transmission methods of each manufacturer will also be different.

[0102] At present, although the SBA architecture proposed by 5GC provides a basis for the modularization and standardization of network functions, the application of this service-oriented concept on the RAN side is limited. Specifically, the existing service-oriented architecture fails to fully consider the complexity and diversity within the RAN, especially the service-oriented transformation at the CU and DU levels, resulting in the following defects in the RAN:

[0103] 1. Lack of dynamic deployment capabilities: The current base station configuration and functions are fixed during compilation. Once the version is determined, it is difficult to dynamically add or adjust service modules, which limits the ability to quickly deploy in the face of sudden demands.

[0104] 2. Inflexible communication between modules: In the traditional RAN architecture, the internal interfaces, messages, and data transmission methods of each layer, such as RRC, PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY, vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. There is a lack of unified standards, which makes cross-manufacturer interoperability difficult and makes it difficult to flexibly arrange modules.

[0105] 3. Limited personalized scheduling: Due to the static binding of service modules within the RAN, it is difficult to implement refined resource allocation and scheduling strategies based on the specific needs of users or network conditions, which seriously affects service quality and user experience.

[0106] like Figure 2As shown, in view of the problem that the existing service-oriented architecture is difficult to implement flexible orchestration between modules on the RAN side, a processing method for a service-oriented radio access network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a first service-oriented platform in a radio access network RAN, wherein the RAN includes at least one service group, wherein the service group includes: a service-oriented platform and at least one service, and the first service-oriented platform is any one of the service-oriented platforms, including:

[0107] Step 201 , traverse a first message queue corresponding to a first servitization platform, wherein the first message queue is created when the first servitization platform is initialized.

[0108] In the processing method of the service-oriented wireless access network of the present invention, a message queue mechanism is adopted. Specifically, when the service-oriented platform is initialized, a message queue corresponding to the service-oriented platform is created, and the message queue can be used to receive and send messages.

[0109] In step 201, traversing the first message queue corresponding to the first servitization platform refers to: cyclically reading the first message queue through the worker thread of the first servitization platform to check whether there is a message to be processed in the first message queue.

[0110] Step 202: When a first message to be processed is read from the first message queue, a first destination corresponding to the first message to be processed is obtained, where the first destination is a service in the RAN.

[0111] That is to say, when the first message queue is read in a loop, each time a pending message is read (taking the first pending message as an example), the first destination corresponding to the first pending message needs to be obtained, that is, the next hop of the first pending message. In this way, the first destination can be used to determine how to process the first pending message in the next step.

[0112] Step 203: Process the first message to be processed according to the first destination.

[0113] In this embodiment, by traversing the first message queue corresponding to the first service-oriented platform, the first destination of the first message to be processed read from the first message queue can be obtained, and the first message to be processed can be further processed according to the first destination. In this way, the message queue can be used as middleware to achieve flexible orchestration between modules in the RAN.

[0114] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, RAN may specifically include multiple service groups, each of which includes a service-oriented platform and at least one service. Figure 4As shown, the present invention constructs a dynamically adjustable service framework, allowing the service modules of CU and DU to be deployed and adjusted on demand during network orchestration, realizing flexible service orchestration and deployment, and improving the flexibility and compatibility of the system. Decoupling between services is achieved through interaction between service-oriented platforms. All interactive behaviors are implemented through service-oriented platforms, and the functions between service-oriented platforms are decoupled and do not perceive each other.

[0115] The RAN service bus can initialize the service platform to make it run. Here is a brief description of the initialization process of the service platform:

[0116] The initialization phase of the service-oriented platform mainly includes steps such as resource application, dynamic library loading, OMA orchestration result acquisition, resource and variable registration, thread startup and initialization, etc.

[0117] Specifically, when the initialization thread is started, the service bus first applies to the operating system for the memory resources required for the service platform to interact with the service platform, which memory resources include but are not limited to space for storing message queues, global variables and dynamic libraries; loads the dynamic library, which contains the implementation code of each service, and each library can correspond to one or more services, so that the service can be independently upgraded or replaced without affecting the entire system; obtains the service orchestration information provided by the network management agent (Operations and Maintenance Agent, OMA), and obtains the service group (service group, SG) list and service object (Service Object, SO) list, and initializes the service according to the orchestration results; during the initialization process, in addition to creating a message queue, it is also necessary to register the SG private global variables that all services may need to access to ensure the consistency and security of data in a multi-threaded environment; the main function of the service platform startup thread starts the worker thread pool of the service platform and initializes the worker, and each thread will independently process the tasks in the message queue.

[0118] It should be noted that when each worker thread starts, it loads the service implementation and initializes its environment, including setting thread priority, allocating thread-local storage Transport Layer Security (TLS) space, and registering global variables required for all services.

[0119] In some embodiments, step 202, obtaining the first destination corresponding to the first message to be processed, includes:

[0120] Step 2021: Determine a target service group corresponding to the identifier of the first message to be processed according to service scheduling information, wherein the service scheduling information includes a mapping relationship between the service group and the identifier of the message.

[0121] Here, the service orchestration information is provided by the network management agent (OMA), and may specifically include the dependency, priority, and execution order between services.

[0122] Step 2022: Acquire target service object information corresponding to the target service group according to the service group information, wherein the service group information includes a mapping relationship between the service group and the service object information, and the service object information includes at least one service corresponding to the service group.

[0123] It should be noted that the service group information may specifically be an SG list, and the target service object information may specifically be an SO list. One service group corresponds to one SO list, and the SO list includes the identifiers of each service in the service group.

[0124] Step 2023: determine the service in the target service object information as the first destination.

[0125] It should be noted that, here, the first destination is a service in the SO list, which may specifically be the ID of one service or the IDs of multiple services.

[0126] In some embodiments, step 203, the processing of the first to-be-processed message according to the first destination, includes: determining whether the first destination is a service in the first service group to which the first service platform belongs; when it is determined that the first destination is a service in the first service group, calling at least one service in the first service group, and forwarding the first to-be-processed message to at least one service in the first service group.

[0127] Here, calling a service means calling a service function of a service to process a message (here, the first message to be processed). It should be noted that each service has a corresponding function for processing a specific type of message.

[0128] It should be noted that after processing a message, if the service needs to forward the message to another service, it can query the service orchestration information (such as the routing table) to determine the location of the next hop SO. If the next hop SO is within the first service group, the message is directly forwarded internally and the service is called; if the next hop SO is not within the first service group, the target function can be called to forward the message to the next hop SO.

[0129] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if at least one service in the first service group obtains at least one result message when processing the first message to be processed, storing the at least one result message in a second message queue respectively.

[0130] It should be noted that when the service processes a message, if the service requires multiple messages, the first message to be processed is pre-stored first, and processing begins after all the required messages are collected. In addition, during the process of the service processing a message, it may be necessary to read or modify global variables, or it may generate new messages (i.e., result messages), or it may not generate new messages. When the service in the first service group generates a result message when processing the first message to be processed, the result message can be stored in the second message queue so that the second message queue can be read later to process each result message stored therein.

[0131] In some embodiments, the method also includes: traversing the second message queue; when a second pending message is read from the second message queue, obtaining a second destination corresponding to the second pending message, wherein the second pending message is one of the at least one result message; and processing the second pending message according to the second destination.

[0132] Here, traversing the second message queue, that is, looping and reading the new message (the above-mentioned result message) generated by the service processing message, is similar to the traversal method of the first message queue. In this way, the messages between services can be routed and forwarded to the corresponding services according to the destination (such as the second destination).

[0133] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when determining that the first destination is a service in a second service group, calling a target function to forward the first to-be-processed message to a service in the second service group; wherein the second service group is a service group in the RAN other than the first service group.

[0134] That is, if the first destination is a service in a service group other than the first service group, the target function may be called to forward the first to-be-processed message to the first destination. Here, the target function may specifically be a cross-service group message forwarding function of the service-oriented bus.

[0135] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, different service groups (such as the first service group and the second service group) can be service groups in the same POD or container, or service groups in different PODs or containers. In this way, through RAN service decoupling, customized service combinations can be realized according to user personality, improving user experience, and collaboratively optimizing the message interaction mechanism. Through the message queue, it can support message sending between containers and PODs. In this way, while the service-oriented RAN decoupling can be achieved, the information interaction between services can be met. Even if the services are distributed in different containers or PODs, efficient and reliable message transmission can be achieved, the interaction range between SGs is wider, and the broadcast and diffusion of messages can be realized more conveniently.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present invention, through the communication mechanism of message interaction across containers and PODs, not only the scalability and flexibility of the system are enhanced, but also the flexible deployment and communication between services are supported, ensuring that messages can be correctly transmitted in different computing environments, laying a solid foundation for realizing high-performance and high-availability wireless access networks.

[0137] In the above embodiment, the message queue is used as the middleware to implement the communication model of producers and consumers, which can promote seamless communication between various functional modules within the RAN without being affected by the modules being provided by different manufacturers.

[0138] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining whether the first pending message needs to be cached; if it is determined that the first pending message needs to be cached, caching the first pending message; if it is determined that the first pending message does not need to be cached, releasing the first pending message.

[0139] Next, combine Figure 5-1 , the solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is specifically illustrated by examples.

[0140] S501: Start the service bus (main);

[0141] S502: The service-oriented bus initializes the service-oriented platform;

[0142] S503: Acquire configuration parameters, that is, network configuration information of RAN, such as the number of Pods, the number of service groups, etc.

[0143] S504: The service-oriented platform traverses and reads the message queue.

[0144] Taking the first service platform in the first service group as an example, in S504, the first service platform reads the first message queue to check whether there is any message to be processed in the first message queue. If a message is read (such as the first message to be processed), the first destination of the first message to be processed is obtained.

[0145] Specifically, the service group (i.e., the target service group) corresponding to the ID can be determined based on the identifier (ID) of the first message to be processed and the service orchestration information, and further, the SO list corresponding to the target service group can be obtained, the SO list including the identifiers of each service in the service group (there may be one service identifier or multiple service identifiers), and each service in the SO list is determined as the first destination.

[0146] S505: Determine whether these services (ie, the first destination obtained in S504) are within the current SG (ie, the first service group). If yes, execute S506; if no, execute S512.
