[0002] When a user needs to query information, data traversal queries can be performed according to all possible data query routes for completing data queries. For example, when a 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) user accesses the network in a 4G (4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) network, the 5G user signaling goes to the HSS (Home Subscriber Server) for data query after following the first data query route DRA (Diameter Routing Agent). If it is found that there is no 5G user information in the HSS, a redirection request is initiated through the HSS according to the second data query route, and the signaling is re-forwarded to the UDR (Unified Data Repository) for data query in proxy mode.

[0019] Among them, the candidate instance information includes the instance information identifier.
[0020] In one embodiment, if the user communication attribute of a candidate user changes from a 5G user type to a 6G user type, the method further includes:

[0052] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to 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.
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, when a new 5G user opens an account, the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system directly stores the user data in the UDR (Unified Data Repository), that is, the database in the UDM (Unified Data Management); for a 4G to 5G upgraded user, in order to achieve data migration between different networks without changing the SIM card or the phone number, the HSS-BE (Home Subscriber Server) (the database in the HSS) deletes the user's data, and the UDR adds the new user data and migrates the users one by one.
[0054] As Figure 2As shown, the dotted line "dash line" represents the access of 4G users in the 4G network. The MME (Mobility Management Entity, a network node) can directly query data in the HSS-BE; the dotted line "dash-dot line" ① represents the access of 5G users in the 4G network. The current data query routing method adopted is the HSS Proxy mode. For the HSS Proxy, after the transformation of the HSS Proxy interface between the HSS and the UDM is completed, the HSS determines the existence of user data. First, it defaults to query user data in the HSS. If the HSS fails to query the user data, it then forwards the user's request to the UDM through the HSS Proxy, and then queries in the UDR; the dotted line "dash-dot line" ② represents the access of 5G users in the 5G network. The AMF (registration process) and the SMF (session establishment process) directly query data in the UDR.
[0055] It can be seen from this that in the existing technical solution, when a 5G user accesses the 4G network (the process of the dotted line "dash-dot line" ①), the 5G user signaling goes to the HSS for data query after passing through the DRA. It is found that there is no 5G user information in the HSS. Then the HSS initiates a redirection request and forwards the signaling to the UDR for data query again through the HSS proxy mode.
[0056] Considering 6G (6th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) users, there are also two cases: when a new 6G user opens an account, the CRM system directly deposits the user data into the 6G UDR (the database in the 6G UDM); for users upgrading from 5G to 6G, in order to achieve data migration between different networks without changing the SIM card or the phone number, the 5G UDR (the database in the 5G UDM) deletes the data of this user, and the 6G UDR adds the data of this new user and migrates the users one by one. As Figure 3 shown:
[0057] If following the idea of the existing data query routing scheme, the predicted data query routing scheme for 5G and 6G users when accessing the network is as Figure 4 shown: Among them, the dotted line "dash-dot line" ① represents that when a 6G user accesses the 5G network, first, it defaults to query user data in the 5G UDM. If the 5G UDM fails to query the user data, it then forwards the user's request to the 6G UDM through the Proxy, and then queries in the 6G UDR.
[0058] In summary, the user information query method in the prior art cannot accurately locate the user instance information, resulting in additional consumption of a large amount of network element resources during the process of obtaining data instance information and reducing the original redundancy ability of the network element.
[0059] The method for obtaining user instance information provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an application environment as Figure 5 shown. Among them, the AMF network element 102 communicates with the NRF network element 104 through the network. The NRF network element obtains an information query request for a target user sent by the AMF network element, and then determines a target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attributes of the target user carried in the information query request. Furthermore, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, the user instance information of the target user is determined from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list, and then the user instance information is sent to the AMF network element.
[0060] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, a method for obtaining user instance information is provided. Taking the NRF network element in Figure 5 as an example, the method includes the following steps:
[0061] S601, in response to an information query request for a target user sent by the access and mobility management function AMF network element, determine a target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attributes of the target user carried in the information query request.
[0062] Among them, the target data list contains the instance information identifiers of users with the same user communication attributes as the target user.
[0063] It should be noted that when it is necessary to determine the target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attributes of the target user carried in the information query request, the user communication attributes applicable to each candidate data list can be obtained in advance, and then, from the user communication attributes applicable to each candidate data list, the target data list with user communication attributes applicable to the target user is determined.
[0064] Among them, the user communication attributes of the user are used to characterize the characteristics of the user during the communication process.
[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, to reduce the complexity of obtaining user instance information and the resource consumption of network elements, the candidate instance information of all candidate users stored in the database built in the UDM network element can be pre-statistically counted; and according to the characteristics of each candidate user during the communication process, each candidate user can be divided into different user communication attributes; furthermore, instance information identifiers are selected from the candidate instance information of each candidate user, and the instance information identifiers of candidate users belonging to the same user communication attribute are recorded in the same candidate data list.
[0066] S602. When the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user is included in the target data list, determine the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list.
[0067] It should be noted that it can be pre-determined whether the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user is included in the target data list. If the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user is included in the target data list, it indicates that the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list includes the user instance information of the target user; if the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user is not included in the target data list, it indicates that the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list does not include the user instance information of the target user either.
[0068] Therefore, when the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user is included in the target data list, information can be queried in the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list to implement the operation of determining the user instance information of the target user.
[0069] S603. Send the user instance information to the AMF network element.
[0070] For the method for obtaining the above user instance information, the NRF network element obtains an information query request sent by the AMF network element for a target user, and determines a target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attribute of the target user carried in the information query request. Further, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, the user instance information of the target user is determined from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list, and then the user instance information is sent to the AMF network element. According to the above content, it can be known that the target data list in this application contains the instance information identifiers of users with the same user communication attribute, and if there is an instance information identifier of a certain user in the target data list, it indicates that the user instance information of this user is stored in the database. Therefore, after determining the target data list corresponding to the target user in this application, it is possible to verify whether the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user. Further, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, it is determined that the user instance information of the target user is stored in the database, which is the process of determining the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list. In summary, this application queries the target data list corresponding to the target user to verify whether the user instance information is stored in the database, replacing the form of traversing and querying the database with the form of querying the target data list, reducing the consumption of network element resources, improving the redundancy ability of network elements, and ensuring the smooth acquisition of user instance information.
[0071] In one embodiment, when it is necessary to determine the target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attribute of the target user carried in the information query request, the following specific content may be included:
[0072] If the information query request carries the user communication attribute of the target user, the target data list with the same list attribute as the user communication attribute is selected from at least two candidate data lists according to the user communication attribute;
[0073] If the information query request does not carry the user communication attribute of the target user, traverse and query at least two candidate data lists to determine the target data list corresponding to the target user.
[0074] It should be noted that the user communication attribute includes the 5G user type of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology and the 6G user type of the sixth-generation mobile communication technology; the list attribute includes the 5G list type and the 6G list type.
[0075] Furthermore, the user communication attribute of the 5G user type corresponds to the list attribute of the 5G list type; the user communication attribute of the 6G user type corresponds to the list attribute of the 6G list type.
[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, if there are two candidate data lists in total, which are candidate data list A and candidate data list B respectively. Among them, the list attribute of candidate data list A is of 5G list type; the list attribute of candidate data list B is of 6G list type. Therefore, if the user communication attribute of the target user is of 5G user type, then candidate data list A is used as the target data list corresponding to the target user; if the user communication attribute of the target user is of 6G user type, then candidate data list B is used as the target data list corresponding to the target user.
[0077] In another embodiment of the present application, if the user communication attribute of the target user is not carried in the information query request, at least two candidate data lists can be traversed and queried in accordance with the preset query sequence of candidate data lists to determine the target data list corresponding to the target user. Among them, the query sequence of candidate data lists can be specified to first query the candidate data list with the list attribute of 6G list type, and then query the candidate data list with the list attribute of 5G list type.
[0078] Further explanation, when it is necessary to determine the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list, the following content can be included: query data in the database built in the unified data management function UDM network element corresponding to the target data list to obtain the user instance information of the target user;
[0079] Among them, the database built in the UDM network element stores the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list.
[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, according to the above content, the service discovery routing process for the target user can be determined as Figure 7 shown as follows:
[0081] Among them, the situation of the candidate data list included in the NRF network element is as Figure 8 shown. The NRF network element stores a candidate data list (5G list) with the list attribute of 5G list type and a candidate data list (6G list) with the list attribute of 6G list type; when the NRF network element cannot obtain the user communication attribute of the target user, the NRF network element can first query the 6G List and then query the 5G List.
[0082] Specifically, as Figure 9As shown in the figure, the 5G UDM and 6G UDM are previously registered with the NRF through NF services. The AMF initiates an NF service discovery request to the NRF. When the NRF network element cannot obtain the user communication attributes of the target user, the NRF queries the 6G List and 5GList in sequence. If it is found that the user number belongs to the 6G List, the NRF returns the instance information of the 6G UDM to the AMF; if it is found that the user number belongs to the 5G List, the NRF returns the instance information of the 5G UDM to the AMF.
[0083] The above method for obtaining user instance information replaces the form of traversing and querying the database with the form of querying the target data list by determining the target data list corresponding to the target user, and then determining the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list. This reduces the consumption of network element resources, improves the redundancy ability of network elements, and ensures the smooth acquisition of user instance information.
[0084] In one embodiment, the source of the instance information identifier of the candidate data list with the list attribute of the 6G list type includes, but is not limited to, the following methods:
[0085] Based on the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, deposit the instance information identifier of the candidate users with the user communication attribute of the 6G user type into the candidate data list with the list attribute of the 6G list type; or,
[0086] Based on the CRM system, deposit the candidate instance information of the candidate users with the user communication attribute of the 6G user type into the database built in the 6G UDM network element, so that the 6G UDM network element deposits the instance information identifier of the candidate users with the user communication attribute of the 6G user type into the candidate data list with the list attribute of the 6G list type;
[0087] Furthermore, if the user communication attribute of the candidate user changes from the 5G user type to the 6G user type, delete the candidate instance information of the candidate user whose user communication attribute changes from the 5G user type to the 6G user type from the database built in the 5G UDM network element; based on the CRM system, deposit the candidate instance information of the candidate user into the database built in the 6G UDM network element, so that the 6G UDM network element deposits the instance information identifier of the candidate user into the candidate data list with the list attribute of the 6G list type.
[0088] Among them, the candidate instance information contains the instance information identifier. As an example, the instance information identifier may include, but is not limited to, information such as SUPI.
[0089] The above method for obtaining user instance information ensures the smooth progress of the process for obtaining user instance information by defining the source of the instance information identifier of the candidate data list with the list attribute being the 6G list type, providing a basis for determining the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list in the subsequent steps.
[0090] In one embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, when it is necessary to send the user instance information to the AMF network element after receiving an information query request for the target user sent by the AMF network element, the following content may be included:
[0091] S1001, an information query request for the target user sent by the AMF network element to the NRF network element.
[0092] S1002, the NRF network element traverses and queries at least two candidate data lists to determine the target data list corresponding to the target user.
[0093] S1003, the NRF network element determines the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list.
[0094] S1004, the NRF network element sends the user instance information to the AMF network element.
[0095] For the above method for obtaining user instance information, the NRF network element obtains an information query request for a target user sent by the AMF network element, so as to determine a target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attribute of the target user carried in the information query request. Furthermore, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, the user instance information of the target user is determined from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list, and then the user instance information is sent to the AMF network element. According to the above content, it can be known that the target data list in this application contains the instance information identifiers of users with the same user communication attribute, and if there is an instance information identifier of a certain user in the target data list, it indicates that the user instance information of this user is stored in the database. Therefore, after determining the target data list corresponding to the target user in this application, it can be verified whether the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user. Furthermore, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, it is determined that the user instance information of the target user is stored in the database, which is the process of determining the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list. In summary, this application queries the target data list corresponding to the target user to verify whether the user instance information is stored in the database, replacing the form of traversing and querying the database with the form of querying the target data list, reducing the consumption of network element resources, improving the redundancy ability of network elements, and ensuring the smooth acquisition of user instance information.

Unless there is a clear indication in this article, the execution of these steps has no strict order limit, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or alternately with at least a part of other steps or steps or stages in other steps.
[0097] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of this application also provides a device for obtaining user instance information for implementing the above-mentioned method for obtaining user instance information. The solution provided by this device to solve the problem is similar to the solution described in the above method. Therefore, the specific limitations in one or more embodiments of the device for obtaining user instance information provided below can refer to the limitations on the method for obtaining user instance information in the above text, and will not be repeated here.
[0098] In one embodiment, asFigure 11 As shown, a device for obtaining user instance information is provided, configured in the NRF network element, including: a first determination module 10, a second determination module 20, and a transmission module 30, where:
[0099] The first determination module 10 is configured to, in response to an information query request for a target user sent by an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, determine a target data list corresponding to the target user, where the target data list contains instance information identifiers of users with the same user communication attributes as the target user;

[0106] Among them, the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list is stored in the database built in the UDM network element.
[0107] In one embodiment, based on the customer relationship management (CRM) system, the instance information identifiers of candidate users with the 6G user type as the user communication attribute are stored in the candidate data list with the 6G list type as the list attribute; or,

[0109] Among them, the candidate instance information includes an instance information identifier.
[0110] In one embodiment, the candidate instance information of a candidate user whose user communication attribute is changed from a 5G user type to a 6G user type is deleted from the database built in the 5G UDM network element;
[0111] Based on the CRM system, the candidate instance information of the candidate user is stored in the database built in the 6G UDM network element, so that the 6G UDM network element stores the instance information identifier of the candidate user in the candidate data list whose list attribute is of the 6G list type.
[0112] For the above-mentioned apparatus for obtaining user instance information, the NRF network element obtains an information query request sent by the AMF network element for a target user, so as to determine a target data list corresponding to the target user according to the user communication attribute of the target user carried in the information query request. Furthermore, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, the user instance information of the target user is determined from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list, and then the user instance information is sent to the AMF network element. According to the above content, it can be known that the target data list in this application contains the instance information identifiers of users with the same user communication attribute, and if there is an instance information identifier of a certain user in the target data list, it indicates that the user instance information of this user is stored in the database; therefore, after determining the target data list corresponding to the target user in this application, it can be verified whether the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user. Furthermore, when the target data list contains the instance information identifier corresponding to the target user, it is determined that the user instance information of the target user is stored in the database, which is the process of determining the user instance information of the target user from the candidate instance information corresponding to the target data list; in summary, this application verifies whether the user instance information is stored in the database by querying the target data list corresponding to the target user, so as to replace the form of traversing and querying the database with the form of querying the target data list, reduce the consumption of network element resources, improve the redundancy ability of the network element, and ensure the smooth acquisition of user instance information.
[0113] Each module in the above-mentioned apparatus for obtaining user instance information can be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware and their combination. The above-mentioned modules can be embedded in the processor of the computer device in hardware form or independent of it, or stored in the memory of the computer device in software form, so that the processor can call and execute the operations corresponding to the above-mentioned modules.
