[0002] With the development and popularization of wireless communication technology, new services have emerged, particularly those with high computing power requirements. To ensure service performance, the core network equipment of wireless communication systems must provide equipment (usually equipment within the core network that can provide computing power) to dispatch appropriate computing power to these services and continuously provide sufficient computing power for these services.

[0107] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0108] Figure 1 This is the system architecture intention of an information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture includes OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) and core network equipment. OAM and core network equipment can communicate via wireless communication technology. Specifically, OAM can include the NFVI (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure) module, the NFV MANO (Network Function Virtualization Management and Orchestration) module, and the OSS (Operation Support Systems). Specifically, NFV MANO can include VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Management), VNFM (VNF Management), and NFVO (NFV Orchestrator). Data communication between OSS and NFVO can be carried out via the Os-Ma interface or the Os-NFVO interface, and data communication between NFVI and VIM can be carried out via the Nf-Vi interface. VIM and NFVO can communicate via the Or-Vi interface. Optionally, OAM can also include EMS (Element Management System) and VNF (Virtual Network Functionality) modules. Core network devices can be devices in the 5G core network (5GC), and can include NWDAF (Network Data Analysis Function) network elements and other 5GC NF (Network Function) network elements. NWDAF and other 5GC NFs can communicate data through service-based interfaces. Core network devices can communicate data through management interfaces with OSS.

[0109] With the development and popularization of mobile communication technology, new services are emerging. Some scenarios require the use of distributed computing power to ensure service performance. Computing power will be a hot topic and a key focus in both the 5G-A and 6G eras. However, current network architectures do not consider this emerging resource and do not support the transmission of computing power information between NFV, OAM, and the core network. 3GPP standards currently do not support the need for computing power to optimize service experience.

[0110] The current 3GPP standard lacks the ability to support mobile communication systems in transmitting, storing and utilizing computing power information. As a result, the relevant interfaces, messages and processes for mobile communication systems to transmit and utilize computing power information to optimize the service experience are missing. This in turn affects some services with high computing requirements, such as XR (Extended Reality) services and cloud gaming, which are unable to use computing power to improve service performance and user experience.

[0111] Based on the above-mentioned traditional technologies, the embodiments of the present application provide an information transmission method that introduces a new architectural enhancement in a mobile communication system. This architectural enhancement ensures the smooth transmission of computing power information between NFV, OAM, and the core network by increasing the transmittable and transmittable information functions of the interfaces and modules in the existing NFV and OAM. This allows each network element in the network to use computing power information to optimize service performance and ensure service experience. This patent fills the gap in the 3GPP standard that the 5G core network cannot obtain and utilize computing power information from NFV and OAM.

[0112] It should be noted that the beneficial effects or technical problems solved by the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this one, but may also include other implicit or related problems. For details, please refer to the description of the following embodiments.

[0113] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0114] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for transmitting information is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The OAM device in the example is used to illustrate the process, which includes the following steps:

[0115] Step 202: Obtain computing power information of computing power providing devices included in the target core network.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, the target core network may be a 5G core network, which includes a computing power provider. The OAM function may obtain computing power information of the computing power provider. Optionally, the OAM function may obtain computing power information of the computing power provider when a preset period is reached, or when a preset trigger condition is met. The specific acquisition process will be described in detail later.

[0117] Step 204: Send a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, after OAM obtains the computing power information, it can generate a computing power information transmission message based on the computing power information, and then send the computing power information transmission message to the core network device in the target core network. After the core network device receives the computing power information transmission message, it can parse the computing power information transmission message to obtain the computing power information. The core network device can analyze and process the computing power information to obtain the corresponding analysis result of the computing power, or the core network device can also forward the computing power information to other network elements in need in the target core network, such as SMF (Session management function, session management function) network elements, AF (Application Function, application layer function) network elements, PCF (Policy Control Function, Policy Control Function) network elements, etc. that optimize the service path.

[0119] In this application, the computing power information of the computing power providing devices contained in the target core network can be obtained, and the computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information can be sent to the core network devices in the target core network, so that the core network devices in the target core network can obtain the computing power information of each computing power providing device in the target core network, and then use the computing power information to reasonably schedule the computing power requirements of the business, provide sufficient computing power for the business, ensure business performance, and improve the utilization rate of the computing power providing devices. In addition, this solution makes relatively small changes to the wireless communication system architecture. There is no need to add additional network equipment to the wireless communication system. It only needs to enhance the functions of existing modules and interfaces, which has high adaptability and low cost.

[0120] Optionally, OAM includes a network function virtualization infrastructure module NFVI, a network function virtualization management and orchestration module NFV MANO, and an operation support system OSS. Accordingly, the specific processing process of step 202 includes: NFVI obtains computing power information of computing power providing devices included in the target core network; the specific processing process of step 204 includes: NFVI sends the computing power information to NFV MANO, NFV MANO sends the computing power information to OSS, and OSS sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network.

[0121] In embodiments of the present application, newly added architectural enhancements enable network virtualization modules and maintenance management modules, including but not limited to NFVI, NFV MANO, and OSS, to transmit and / or store computing power information. Specifically, NFVI can obtain and store computing power information of computing power provisioning devices included in the target core network. NFVI then sends the computing power information to NFV MANO, which in turn sends the computing power information to OSS. Finally, OSS sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network devices in the target core network.

[0122] Based on the above solution, the transmission of computing power information can be realized, filling the gap in the existing 3GPP mobile communication system architecture that does not support the 5G core network to obtain computing power information from NFV and OAM.

[0123] Optionally, before NFVI sends the computing power information to NFV MANO, the method further includes: NFVI determines whether the current time reaches the subscription time corresponding to the core network device; if the current time reaches the subscription time, executing the step of sending the computing power information to NFV MANO.

[0124] In an embodiment of the present application, the NFVI can send computing power information according to a preset subscription time. Specifically, after obtaining the computing power information, the NFVI can store the computing power information. The NFVI can also store the subscription time, which can be configured by a technician or by a core network device. The NFVI can determine whether the current time has reached the subscription time corresponding to the core network device; if the current time has reached the subscription time, the computing power information is sent to the NFV MANO; if the current time has not reached the subscription time, the computing power information is not sent to the NFV MANO.

[0125] Based on the above solution, the subscription time can be configured so that NFVI sends computing power information to NFV MANO after the subscription time is reached, which improves the flexibility of obtaining computing power information.

[0126] Optional, such as Figure 3As shown, the NFVI determines whether the current time reaches the subscription time corresponding to the core network device, and the method further includes the following steps:

[0127] In step 302, the OSS receives a computing power information subscription request sent by the core network device, and sends a first computing power information subscription instruction corresponding to the computing power information subscription request to the NFV MANO.

[0128] The computing power information subscription request includes the subscription time.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present application, a core network device may send a computing power information subscription request to an OSS. For example, the core network device may send a computing power information subscription request to the OSS based on configuration information; or, the core network device may send a computing power information subscription request to the OSS in response to a request instruction. After receiving the computing power information subscription request sent by the core network device, the OSS may send a first computing power information subscription instruction corresponding to the computing power information subscription request to the NFV MANO.

[0130] Step 304: NFV MANO sends a second computing power information subscription instruction to NFVI.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first computing power information subscription instruction, the NFV MANO may send a second computing power information subscription instruction to the NFVI based on the first computing power information subscription instruction.

[0132] In step 306, the NFVI receives the second computing power information subscription instruction, parses the second computing power information subscription instruction, and obtains the subscription time corresponding to the core network device.

[0133] In an embodiment of the present application, the NFVI receives a second computing power information subscription instruction, and then parses the second computing power information subscription instruction to obtain an identifier of the core network device and a subscription time.

[0134] Based on the above solution, the subscription time can be configured so that NFVI sends computing power information to NFV MANO after the subscription time is reached, which improves the flexibility of obtaining computing power information.

[0135] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, before NFVI sends the computing power information to NFV MANO, the method further includes:

[0136] In step 402, the OSS receives a computing power information sending request sent by the core network device, and sends a first computing power information sending instruction corresponding to the computing power information sending request to the NFV MANO.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, the core network device may send a computing power information sending request to the OSS based on business needs. For example, a computing power information sending request may be sent to the OSS in response to a request instruction, or a computing power information sending request may be sent to the OSS when a preset request condition is met. The OSS may receive the computing power information sending request sent by the core network device, and then generate a computing power information sending instruction corresponding to the computing power information sending request (for ease of distinction, it may be referred to as a first computing power information sending instruction) based on the transmission protocol between the OSS and the NFV MANO, and then send the first computing power information sending instruction to the NFV MANO.

[0138] Step 404: NFV MANO sends a second computing power information sending instruction to NFVI.

[0139] In an embodiment of the present application, the NFV MANO may generate a second computing power information sending instruction corresponding to the first computing power information sending instruction based on the transmission protocol between the NFV MANO and the NFVI, and send the second computing power information sending instruction to the NFVI. Optionally, the first computing power information sending instruction and the second computing power information sending instruction may also be the same instruction, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0140] In step 406, the NFVI receives the second computing power information sending instruction and executes the step of sending the computing power information to the NFV MANO.

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, the NFVI receives the second computing power information sending instruction, and then sends the computing power information to the NFVMANO.

[0142] Based on the above scheme, OAM can send computing power information to the core network device in response to the computing power information sending request of the core network device. If the computing power information sending request is not received, the computing power information may not be sent, thereby reducing the business pressure of OAM and saving communication resources.

[0143] Optionally, the NFV MANO includes a virtualization infrastructure manager VIM and a network function virtualization orchestrator NFVO; the NFVI sends computing power information to the NFV MANO, including: NFVI sends the computing power information to the VIM through the Nf-Vi interface; the VIM sends the computing power information to the NFVO through the Or-Vi interface.

[0144] In this embodiment of the present application, the NFVI and VIM can communicate via the Nf-Vi interface, and the VIM and NFVO can communicate via the Or-Vi interface. Thus, the NFVI can send computing power information to the VIM via the Nf-Vi interface, and the VIM can send the received computing power information to the NFVO via the Or-Vi interface.

[0145] Optionally, NFV MANO sends computing power information to OSS, including: NFVO sends computing power information to OSS through the Os-Ma interface.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, the NFVO and the OSS can communicate via the Os-NFvo / Os-Ma interface. In this way, the NFVO sends computing power information to the OSS via the Os-NFvo / Os-Ma interface.

[0147] In the above scheme, the traditional mobile communication system architecture is enhanced, and network virtualization modules and maintenance management modules including but not limited to NFVI, VIM, NFVO, OSS, etc. can transmit and / or store computing power information, and interfaces including but not limited to Nf-Vi, Or-Vi, Os-NFvo / Os-Ma, and management interfaces can transmit computing power information. Through this application, the gap in the existing 3GPP standard that the existing architecture of the mobile communication system does not support the 5G core network to obtain computing power information from OAM can be filled, and the gap in the existing 3GPP standard that the modules and interfaces in OAM cannot transmit and store computing power information can be filled, so that the performance of some services is better, and at the standard level, it paves the way and explores scenarios in which the subsequent 6G can make better use of computing power to improve business experience, so that computing power application has continuity. Moreover, this application makes relatively small changes to the traditional mobile communication system architecture at the standard level, and does not require the addition of new network elements or equipment, but only requires the enhancement of existing module and interface functions.

[0148] Optionally, the core network device includes a network data analysis function device NWDAF; accordingly, the OSS sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network, including: the OSS sends the computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the NWDAF in the target core network through the management interface.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the OSS may send a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the NWDAF in the target core network through the management interface. After receiving the computing power information, the NWDAF network element may analyze and process the computing power information to obtain a corresponding analysis result of the computing power. Alternatively, the NWDAF may also forward the computing power information to other network elements in need in the target core network, such as SMF network elements, AF network elements, PCF network elements, etc. that optimize service paths.

[0150] Based on the above solution, core network equipment can obtain computing power information from OAM, filling the gap in the existing 3GPP standard where the modules and interfaces in OAM cannot transmit and store computing power information, making some services more performant. At the standard level, it paves the way for subsequent 6G to make better use of computing power to improve service experience and pave the way for the continuity of computing power application. Moreover, this application makes relatively minor changes to the traditional mobile communication system architecture at the standard level. There is no need to add new network elements or equipment, only to enhance the functions of existing modules and interfaces.

[0151] Optionally, OSS sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network, including: OSS converts the computing power information into a format to obtain computing power information in a target format; OSS sends a computing power information transmission message containing the computing power information in a target format to the core network device in the target core network.

[0152] In this embodiment of the present application, after receiving the computing power information, the OSS can convert the computing power information based on the target format to obtain the computing power information in the target format. The OSS can then generate a computing power information transmission message containing the computing power information in the target format and send the computing power information transmission message to the core network device in the target core network. The target format is a format readable by the core network device. For example, the computing power information can be converted into a format readable by the 5G core network element and sent to the NWDAF element.

[0153] Based on the above solution, the computing power information can be converted into a format readable by the core network device to facilitate subsequent analysis and processing by the core network device.

[0154] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a method for transmitting information is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The core network equipment in the example is used to illustrate the process, including the following steps:

[0155] Step 502: Receive the computing power information transmission message sent by OAM.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present application, the computing power information transmission message is obtained by OAM based on the computing power information of the computing power providing device included in the target core network and sent to the core network device. The specific process of OAM sending the computing power information transmission message to the core network device can refer to the relevant description of the above-mentioned OAM processing flow and will not be repeated here.

[0157] Step 504: parse the computing power information transmission message to obtain computing power information of the computing power providing device included in the target core network.

[0158] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the computing power information transmission message, the core network device can parse the computing power information transmission message to obtain computing power information. The core network device can analyze and process the computing power information to obtain a corresponding analysis result of the computing power, or the core network device can also forward the computing power information to other network elements in need in the target core network, such as SMF network elements, AF network elements, PCF network elements, etc. that optimize service paths.

[0159] In this application, the computing power information of the computing power providing devices contained in the target core network can be obtained, and the computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information can be sent to the core network devices in the target core network, so that the core network devices in the target core network can obtain the computing power information of each computing power providing device in the target core network, and then use the computing power information to reasonably schedule the computing power requirements of the business, provide sufficient computing power for the business, ensure business performance, and improve the utilization rate of the computing power providing devices. In addition, this solution makes relatively small changes to the wireless communication system architecture. There is no need to add additional network equipment to the wireless communication system. It only needs to enhance the functions of existing modules and interfaces, which has high adaptability and low cost.

[0160] Optionally, before receiving the computing power information transmission message sent by the OAM, the method further includes: sending a computing power information subscription request including the subscription time to the OAM.

[0161] In an embodiment of the present application, the core network device may send a computing power information subscription request to the OSS. For example, the core network device sends a computing power information subscription request to the OSS according to the configuration information; or, the core network device may send a computing power information subscription request to the OSS in response to a request instruction. The computing power information subscription request includes a subscription time, which is used for the OAM to send a computing power information transmission message to the core network device when the current time reaches the subscription time. The subscription time may be configured by a technical person, or may be determined by the core network device according to a preset rule. After the OSS receives the computing power information subscription request sent by the core network device, it may send a first computing power information subscription instruction corresponding to the computing power information subscription request to the NFV MANO. After the NFV MANO receives the first computing power information subscription instruction, it may send a second computing power information subscription instruction to the NFVI based on the first computing power information subscription instruction. The NFVI receives the second computing power information subscription instruction, and then parses the second computing power information subscription instruction to obtain the core network device identifier and subscription time.

[0162] After obtaining computing power information, NFVI can store it. NFVI can determine whether the current time has reached the subscription time corresponding to the core network device. If the current time has reached the subscription time, NFVI sends the computing power information to NFV MANO, which then sends the computing power information to OSS. Finally, OSS sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network. If the current time has not reached the subscription time, the computing power information is not sent to NFV MANO.

[0163] Based on the above solution, the subscription time can be configured so that computing power information can be sent to the core network device after the subscription time is reached, which improves the flexibility of obtaining computing power information.

[0164] Optionally, before receiving the computing power information transmission message sent by OAM, the method also includes: sending a computing power information sending request to OAM, where the computing power information sending request is used by OAM to send a computing power information transmission message to the core network device.

[0165] In an embodiment of the present application, a core network device may send a computing power information transmission request to an OSS based on service needs. For example, a computing power information transmission request may be sent to the OSS in response to a request instruction, or a computing power information transmission request may be sent to the OSS when a preset request condition is met. The OSS may receive the computing power information transmission request sent by the core network device and then, based on the transmission protocol between the OSS and the NFV MANO, generate a computing power information transmission instruction corresponding to the computing power information transmission request (for ease of distinction, referred to as a first computing power information transmission instruction), and then send the first computing power information transmission instruction to the NFV MANO. The NFV MANO may, based on the transmission protocol between the NFV MANO and the NFVI, generate a second computing power information transmission instruction corresponding to the first computing power information transmission instruction and send the second computing power information transmission instruction to the NFVI. The NFVI receives the second computing power information transmission instruction and then sends the computing power information to the NFV MANO. The NFV MANO then sends the computing power information to the OSS, and the OSS finally sends a computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information to the core network device in the target core network.

[0166] Based on the above scheme, OAM can send computing power information to the core network device in response to the computing power information sending request of the core network device. If the computing power information sending request is not received, the computing power information may not be sent, thereby reducing the business pressure of OAM and saving communication resources.

[0167] Optionally, after parsing the computing power information transmission message and obtaining the computing power information of the computing power providing device included in the target core network, the method also includes: sending the computing power information to other core network devices included in the target core network.

[0168] In an embodiment of the present application, the core network device can forward the computing power information to other network elements in need in the target core network, such as SMF network elements, AF network elements, PCF network elements, etc. that optimize the service path, so that other network elements can obtain the computing power information, thereby realizing the 5G core network obtaining computing power information from OAM.

[0169] In one embodiment, a signaling interaction flow chart of an information transmission method is provided. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0170] In step 601, the NFVI obtains computing power information of computing power provision devices included in the target core network.

[0171] In step 602, NFVI sends computing power information to VIM through the Nf-Vi interface.

[0172] In step 603, the VIM sends the computing power information to the NFVO through the Or-Vi interface.

[0173] In step 604, NFVO sends the computing power information to OSS through the Os-Ma interface.

[0174] In step 605, the OSS converts the computing power information into a target format to obtain a computing power information transmission message. The target format is a format readable by the core network device.

[0175] In step 606, the OSS sends the computing power information transmission message corresponding to the computing power information in the target format to the NWDAF in the target core network through the management interface.

[0176] In step 607, the NWDAF network element analyzes and processes the computing power information to obtain corresponding analysis results of the computing power, or the NWDAF forwards the computing power information to other network elements in need in the target core network.

[0177] In this application, the traditional mobile communication system architecture is enhanced, and network virtualization modules and maintenance management modules including but not limited to NFVI, VIM, NFVO, OSS, etc. can transmit and / or store computing power information, and interfaces including but not limited to Nf-Vi, Or-Vi, Os-NFvo / Os-Ma, and management interfaces can transmit computing power information, thereby allowing the core network to use computing power information to ensure the user experience of some services with high computing service requirements. Through this application, the gap in the existing 3GPP standard that the existing architecture of the mobile communication system does not support the 5G core network to obtain computing power information from OAM can be filled, and the gap in the existing 3GPP standard that the modules and interfaces in OAM cannot transmit and store computing power information can be filled, making the performance of some services better, and paving the way and exploring the scenarios at the standard level for the subsequent 6G to make better use of computing power to improve service experience, so that computing power application has continuity. Moreover, this application makes relatively small changes to the traditional mobile communication system architecture at the standard level, and does not require the addition of new network elements or equipment, but only requires the enhancement of existing module and interface functions.
