[0094] Related technology introduction:

[0095] As shown in the existing 5GC service diagram, the SBA architecture has the following advantages: Figure 1

[0096] 1. Functional modularization: SBA architecture is not a network element integrating multiple functions, but decouples functions into multiple independent function modules, and supports on-demand expansion deployment.

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

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

[0099] With the deployment of the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G) worldwide, it has been proven that the service-oriented architecture SBA can effectively support large-scale user connections and service demands in ToC (consumer-oriented) scenarios. However, in the face of highly customized business demands in ToB (enterprise-oriented) scenarios, and the all-in-one fusion business scenarios brought by the future sixth generation mobile communication system (6G), 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, 6G networks will realize the comprehensive integration of communication, sensing, 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 respond to changing business demands in real time and provide higher quality service experience. ​

[0101] The service of the 5GC is reflected in the aspects of network functions, service management, and data applications, and does not involve the service of the Centralized Unit (CU) and Distributed Unit (DU) levels inside the base station. Currently, the task threads inside 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 configuration of the base station can only be adjusted by controlling the switch of the features through Operation and Maintenance (OM). The various levels inside the base station, such as the 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 are also different.

[0102] Currently, although the SBA architecture proposed by the 5GC provides a basis for the modularization and standardization of network functions, the application of this service concept on the RAN side is limited. Specifically, the existing service architecture does not fully consider the complexity and diversity of the RAN, especially the service transformation of the CU and DU levels, resulting in the following defects of the RAN:

[0103] 1. Lack of dynamic deployment capability: 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 rapid deployment capability in the face of sudden demand.

[0104] 2. Inflexible communication between modules: In the traditional RAN architecture, the internal interfaces and message and data transmission methods of each level, such as RRC, PDCP, RLC, MAC, and PHY, are different for different manufacturers, lack a unified standard, and make cross-manufacturer interoperability difficult and the flexible arrangement between modules difficult.

[0105] 3. Limited personalized scheduling: Due to the static binding of the service modules inside the RAN, it is difficult to achieve fine-grained resource allocation and scheduling strategies according to the specific needs of users or network conditions, which seriously affects the service quality and user experience.

[0106] For example, Figure 2As shown, in order to solve the problem that it is difficult to implement flexible arrangement between modules in the RAN side for the existing service-oriented architecture, a processing method of a service-oriented radio access network is provided, which is applied to a first service-oriented platform in a radio access network (RAN), the RAN includes at least one service group, and the service group includes a service-oriented platform and at least one service, the first service-oriented platform is any one of the service-oriented platforms, and the first service-oriented platform includes the following steps.

[0107] In step 201, a first message queue corresponding to the first service-oriented platform is traversed, wherein the first message queue is created when the first service-oriented platform is initialized.

[0108] In the processing method of the service-oriented radio access network, the message queue mechanism is adopted, specifically, the message queue corresponding to the service-oriented platform is created when the service-oriented platform is initialized, 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 service-oriented platform means that the worker thread of the first service-oriented platform is used to cyclically read the first message queue and check whether there is a message to be processed in the first message queue.

[0110] In step 202, in the case that 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, and the first destination is a service in the RAN.

[0111] That is to say, when the first message to be processed (for example, the first message to be processed) is read in the cyclic reading of the first message queue, the first destination corresponding to the first message to be processed, that is, the next hop of the first message to be processed, needs to be obtained. In this way, the next step of how to process the first message to be processed can be determined according to the first destination.

[0112] In step 203, the first message to be processed is 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 realize flexible arrangement between modules in the RAN.

[0114] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 3 The RAN can include a plurality of service groups, and each service group includes a service-oriented platform and at least one service. Figure 4As shown, the application constructs a dynamically adjustable service framework, allows deployment and adjustment of service modules of CUs and DUs on demand during network orchestration, realizes flexible business orchestration and deployment, and improves the flexibility and compatibility of the system. Interaction between service platforms realizes decoupling between services, and all interaction behaviors are realized through service platforms. The functions of each service platform are decoupled and are not aware of each other.

[0115] The service bus of the RAN can initialize the service platform so that the service platform runs. Here, the initialization process of the service platform is briefly described:

[0116] The service platform initialization stage mainly includes resource application, dynamic library loading, OMA orchestration result acquisition, resource and variable registration, thread startup and initialization, and the like.

[0117] Specifically, when the initialization thread is started, the service bus first applies memory resources required for service platform interaction to the operating system for the service platform, and the memory resources include but are not limited to spaces for storing message queues, global variables and dynamic libraries; the dynamic library is loaded, which contains the implementation code of each service, and each library can correspond to one or more services, so that the service can be upgraded or replaced independently without affecting the entire system; service orchestration information provided by the network management agent (OMA) is acquired, and a service group (SG) list and a service object (SO) list are acquired, and the initial service is performed according to the orchestration result; in the initialization process, in addition to creating a message queue, all SG private global variables that may be accessed by the service need to be registered 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 each worker thread is loaded when it is started, and the service implementation and its environment are initialized, including setting the thread priority, allocating the thread local storage transport layer security protocol (Transport Layer Security, TLS) space, and registering all global variables required by the service.

[0119] In some embodiments, step 202, the first destination corresponding to the first to-be-processed message is acquired, including:

[0120] Step 2021, according to the service orchestration information, determining the target service group corresponding to the identifier of the first to-be-processed message, wherein the service orchestration information includes the mapping relationship between the service group and the identifier of the message.

[0121] Here, the service arrangement information is provided by an OMA (Operation Management Agent). The service arrangement information can specifically include dependency relationships, priorities, and execution sequences between services, etc.

[0122] At step 2022, target service object information corresponding to the target service group is obtained according to the service group information, where 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 can be specifically an SG list, and the target service object information can be specifically an SO list. One service group corresponds to one SO list, and the SO list includes the identifiers of the services in the service group.

[0124] At step 2023, the services in the target service object information are determined as the first destination.

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

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

[0127] Here, invoking a service means invoking a service function of the service to process a message (here, the first to-be-processed message). 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 the message, if the message needs to be forwarded to another service, the service arrangement information (such as a routing table) can be queried to determine the position 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 invoked; if the next-hop SO is not within the first service group, the target function can be invoked to forward the message to the next-hop SO.

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

[0130] It should be noted that, when the service processes the message, if the service needs multiple messages, the first to-be-processed message is pre-stored first, and then the processing is started after the required messages are collected. In addition, in the process of processing the message by the service, it can be necessary to read or modify global variables, new messages (i.e., result messages) can be generated, or no new messages can be generated. When the service in the first service group generates a result message while processing the first to-be-processed message, the result message can be stored in the second message queue, so that the second message queue is read subsequently, and each result message stored in the second message queue is processed.

[0131] In some embodiments, the method further includes: traversing the second message queue; in a case where a second to-be-processed message is read from the second message queue, obtaining a second destination corresponding to the second to-be-processed message, the second to-be-processed message being one of the at least one result message; and processing the second to-be-processed message according to the second destination.

[0132] Here, the traversal of the second message queue, that is, the cyclic reading of the new message generated by the service processing message (the result message described above), has a similar traversal method to the traversal method of the first message queue described above. 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: in a case where it is determined 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 the service in the second service group; and 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 can be called to forward the first to-be-processed message to the first destination. Here, the target function can be a cross-service group message forwarding function of the service bus.

[0135] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4 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, a user-specific customized service combination can be realized, user experience can be improved, and the message interaction mechanism can be optimized. Through the message queue, inter-container and inter-POD message transmission can be supported. In this way, while the RAN is decoupled, the information interaction between services can be satisfied, efficient and reliable message transmission can be realized even if the services are distributed in different containers or PODs, the interaction range between SGs is wider, and the broadcast and diffusion of messages are more convenient.

[0136] In the embodiments of the present application, through the communication mechanism of cross-container and inter-POD message interaction, the scalability and flexibility of the system are enhanced, and flexible deployment and communication between services are supported, ensuring that messages can be correctly transmitted in different computing environments, thereby laying a solid foundation for implementing a high-performance and high-availability wireless access network.

[0137] In the above embodiments, the message queue is used as middleware to implement the communication model of the producer and the consumer, which can promote seamless communication between the functional modules in the RAN and is not affected by the modules provided by different manufacturers.

[0138] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining whether the first to-be-processed message needs to be cached; in a case where it is determined that the first to-be-processed message needs to be cached, caching the first to-be-processed message, and in a case where it is determined that the first to-be-processed message does not need to be cached, releasing the first to-be-processed message.

[0139] In the following, the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically illustrated. Figure 5-1 The scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically illustrated.

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

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

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

[0143] S504: The service 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 a to-be-processed message in the first message queue, and if a message (such as a first to-be-processed message) is read, the first destination of the first to-be-processed message is obtained.

[0145] Specifically, the service group corresponding to the ID (that is, the target service group) can be determined according to the ID of the first to-be-processed message and the service orchestration information, and the SO list corresponding to the target service group can be further obtained, the SO list including the identifiers of the services in the service group (there can 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 (that is, the first destinations obtained in S504) are in the SG (that is, the first service group)? If yes, execute S506; if no, execute S512.

[0147] S506: Invoke the service functions of each service in the target service group to process the first message to be processed. This processing may generate new messages (i.e., result messages).

[0148] S507: Temporarily store newly generated messages. For example, store them in a second message list.

[0149] S508: Call the target function (i.e., the cross-service group message forwarding function) to forward the message.

[0150] S509: Determine whether the first service platform needs to cache messages (such as the first pending message)? If yes, execute S510; otherwise, execute S511.

[0151] S510: The first service-oriented platform caches messages.

[0152] S511: Release message.

[0153] It should be noted that, as Figure 5-2 As shown, for the second message list used to temporarily store newly generated messages in the above process, the following steps can be performed:

[0154] S5071: Iterate through and read the second message list (that is, get the messages generated in the previous steps, and then get the SO list corresponding to the generated messages).

[0155] S5072: Determine whether these services (i.e., the services in the SO list in S5071) are within this SG (i.e., the first service group). If yes, execute S5073; otherwise, execute S5075.

[0156] It should be noted that, Figure 5-2 The steps of S5071-S5077 Figure 5-1 The steps in S504-S510 are similar, all involving traversing the message queue, reading messages, and processing them. Other steps will not be described in detail here.
