In these two deployment forms, operators and enterprises share the same RAN device and the same cell, and the shared RAN device and cell can be operated and maintained by the operator or the enterprise, and the resources, services or characteristics corresponding to the operator and the resources, services or characteristics corresponding to the enterprise are the same.

The primary operator is an operator that provides an access network corresponding to the access network management object, the secondary operator is an operator that uses the access network, and the private enterprise is an enterprise that provides or uses the access network.

[0143] Exemplarily, the identity of the at least one operator can include the second identity of the second operator and / or an identity of an external operator associated with the second operator, and the management configuration information of the access network management object of the at least one operator can include the second management configuration information of the access network management object of the second operator and / or management configuration information of an access network management object of an external operator associated with the second operator.

[0144] That is, the management unit of the second operator can independently determine the management configuration information of itself and / or the management configuration information of the access network management object of the external operator associated with the second operator, to meet the differentiated configuration requirements between different operators or between the operator and the enterprise.

[0145] In a possible design, the management unit of the second operator can send the second identifier and the second management configuration information to the management unit of the first operator. Accordingly, the management unit of the first operator can receive the second identifier and the second management configuration information from the management unit of the second operator.

[0146] Optionally, the management unit of the second operator can send the identifier of at least one operator and the management configuration information of the access network management object of the at least one operator to the management unit of the first operator, such as the second identifier, the second management configuration information, the identifier of the external operator associated with the second operator, and the management configuration information of the access network management object of the external operator associated with the second operator.

The application does not limit the sequence of S301 and S302.

[0148] It should be noted that when S301 includes the management unit of the first operator determining the second identifier of the second operator and the second management configuration information of the access network management object of the second operator, S302 is optional. When S301 includes the management unit of the first operator determining the second identifier of the second operator and the second management configuration information of the access network management object of the second operator, and S302 is also performed, the second management configuration information in S301 and the second management configuration information in S302 can be the same or different.

[0149] S303, the management unit of the first operator sends the first identifier and the first management configuration information to the first management unit. Accordingly, the first management unit acquires the first identifier and the first management configuration information.

[0150] Specifically, the management unit of the first operator sends the first identifier and the first management configuration information to the first management unit, enabling the first operator management instance corresponding to the first operator to be created in the access network management object.

[0151] In a possible design, S302 can include that the management unit of the first operator sends a first request to the first management unit. Accordingly, the first management unit receives the first request from the management unit of the first operator.

For example, a distinguished name (DN) of the sub-network, a DN of the managed network element, a DN of the managed function, a DN of the cell, a DN of the external function, a DN of the external cell.

[0157] That is, the first request can be used not only to request the first management unit to create an operator management instance according to the first identity and the first management configuration information, but also to request the first management unit to create or modify an access network management object according to the identity of the access network management object and the configuration information of the access network management object.

[0158] In a possible design, the management unit of the first operator can send, to the first management unit, a second identity of a second operator and second management configuration information of an access network management object of the second operator. Correspondingly, the first management unit acquires the second identity and the second management configuration information.

[0171] Optionally, the third request can carry the second identifier and the second management configuration information.

[0172] Exemplarily, the third request can further carry an identifier of the second operator management instance.

[0173] That is, the third request can be used to request creation of the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator.

[0174] In some embodiments, the third request can further carry an identifier of an external operator associated with the second operator, and / or management configuration information of an access network management object of the external operator associated with the second operator, and / or an identifier of an external operator management instance associated with the second operator.

[0175] That is, the third request can be used to request creation of the external operator management instance associated with the second operator.

[0176] In some embodiments, the first management unit obtaining the second identifier and the second management configuration information can include that the first management unit receives the third request from a management unit of the second operator.

[0177] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the sequence of S303 and S304.

[0178] It should be noted that when S303 includes the management unit of the first operator sending the second identifier of the second operator and the second management configuration information of the access network management object of the second operator to the first management unit, S304 is optional.

[0231] It should be noted that, Figures 5-8 Taking the communication system including only one secondary operator network management (i.e., the management unit of the second operator) as an example, if the communication system includes multiple secondary operator network managements, the method provided in the embodiments of the present application can create multiple operator management instances corresponding to the secondary operators under each access network management object, and the present application will not be enumerated one by one.

[0232] In some embodiments, when the identifier of the at least one operator includes the identifier of the external operator, the first management unit can create an external operator management instance corresponding to the external operator, and specific examples can be referred to Figures 9-11 .

[0233] Figure 9 The schematic diagram for creating an operator management instance provided in the embodiments of the present application Figure 5 .

[0234] As Figure 9 shown, taking the access network management object as a sub-network object and the identifier of the at least one operator including the identifier of the first external operator and the identifier of the second external operator as an example, the first management unit can create an external operator management instance 1 and an external operator management instance 2 under the cell object; optionally further comprising: the first management unit can configure the management configuration information corresponding to the external operator under the external operator management instance 1, and can further configure the identifier of the first external operator and / or the identifier of the external operator management instance 1; the first management unit can configure the management configuration information corresponding to the external operator under the external operator management instance 2, and can further configure the identifier of the second external operator and / or the identifier of the external operator management instance 2.

[0240] Figure 12 A flowchart illustrating the access network management configuration method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .

[0241] In one possible design, the access network management configuration method provided in this application embodiment may further include the following steps S1201 to S1203.

[0242] S1201, the management unit of the first operator determines the resource availability information of at least one operator.

[0243] Optionally, resource availability information can be used to indicate the quantity or proportion of access network resources available to at least one operator.

[0244] Exemplarily, the at least one operator can comprise a first operator, and / or at least one second operator, and / or at least one external operator. The resource can be a spectrum resource, a resource block (RB) resource, a radio resource control (RRC) connection terminal device quantity, a data radio bearer (DRB) resource.

[0245] In some embodiments, the S1201, the management unit of the first operator determining the resource available information of the at least one operator can comprise: the management unit of the first operator determining second resource available information of a second operator.

[0246] Optionally, the second resource available information can indicate a quantity or a proportion of access network resources that can be used by the second operator.

[0247] The S1202, the management unit of the first operator sends a sixth message to the first management unit. Correspondingly, the first management unit receives the sixth message from the management unit of the first operator.

[0248] Optionally, the sixth message can comprise the resource available information of the at least one operator.

[0249] For example, the sixth message can comprise the first resource available information of the first operator and / or the second resource available information of the second operator.

[0250] Optionally, the resource available information is associated with an identifier of an operator and / or an operator management instance identifier, and can be used to indicate the resource available information corresponding to the identifier of the operator and / or the operator management instance identifier.

[0251] In some embodiments, the resource available information of the at least one operator can comprise resource available information corresponding to all identifiers of operators in the at least one identifier of an operator and / or an operator management instance identifier, and the at least one identifier of an operator and / or an operator management instance identifier and the resource available information of the at least one operator are one-to-one correspondence.

[0252] That is, the resource available information of the at least one operator can be resource available information of all operators in the at least one operator.

[0253] Exemplarily, assuming that the at least one identifier of an operator and / or an operator management instance identifier comprises a first identifier of a first operator and / or a first operator management instance identifier and a second identifier of a second operator and / or a second operator management instance identifier, and the sixth message comprises the first resource available information of the first operator and the second resource available information of the second operator.

[0254] In some embodiments, the resource available information of the at least one operator can comprise resource available information corresponding to an identity of a part of the at least one operator.

[0255] That is, the resource available information of the at least one operator can be resource available information of a part of the at least one operator.

[0256] For example, assuming that the identity of the at least one operator and / or the operator management instance identity comprises a first identity of a first operator and / or a first operator management instance identity and a second identity of a second operator and / or a second operator management instance identity, the sixth message can comprise only the first resource available information of the first operator and not the second resource available information of the second operator, or the sixth message can comprise only the second resource available information of the second operator and not the first resource available information of the first operator.

[0257] Optionally, the sixth message further comprises the identity of the at least one operator and / or the operator management instance identity.

[0258] For example, the sixth message further comprises the first identity of the first operator and / or the first operator management instance identity and the second identity of the second operator and / or the second operator management instance identity.

[0259] S1203, the first management unit configures resource available information in the operator management instance.

[0260] For example, the first management unit can configure the first resource available information in the first operator management instance, configure the second resource available information in the second operator management instance, and similarly, configure corresponding resource available information in other operator management instances, which will not be listed one by one in the present application.

[0261] Based on Figure 12 As shown in the method for access network management configuration, in the network maintenance phase, the resource available information of each operator can be determined by the management unit of the first operator, and the resource available information of each operator can be different, so that the differentiated configuration requirements between multiple operators or between an operator and an enterprise can be met.

[0262] Figure 13 Flowchart of the method for access network management configuration provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 3 .

[0263] In a possible design scheme, the method for access network management configuration provided by the embodiments of the present application can further comprise the following S1301 to S1303.

[0264] S1301, the management unit of the second operator can determine the resource availability information of at least one operator.

[0265] For example, at least one operator may include a second operator and / or at least one external operator associated with the second operator.

[0266] For information on resource availability and specific implementation methods, please refer to S1201 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0267] S1302, the management unit of the second operator sends a sixth message to the first management unit. Accordingly, the first management unit receives the sixth message from the management unit of the second operator.

[0268] The specific implementation of the sixth message can be found in S1202 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0269] S1303, the first management unit configures resource availability information in the operator management instance corresponding to the operator's identifier.

[0270] For example, the first management unit can configure the resource availability information corresponding to the second identifier of the second operator in the second operator management instance, and configure the resource availability information corresponding to the identifier of the external operator 1 in the external operator management instance 1. Similarly, the corresponding resource availability information can be configured in other operator management instances, which will not be listed one by one in this application.

[0271] based on Figure 13 The access network management configuration method shown allows the management unit of the second operator to independently determine its own resource availability information during the network maintenance phase. This resource availability information may differ from that of other operators, thereby meeting the differentiated configuration needs between multiple operators or between operators and enterprises.

[0272] Figure 14 A flowchart illustrating the access network management configuration method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 4 .

[0273] In one possible design, the access network management configuration method provided in this application embodiment may further include the following S1401-S1403.

[0274] S1401, the first operator's management network element sends a management message to the first management unit. Correspondingly, the first management unit receives the management message from the first operator's management unit.

[0275] Optionally, management messages may include management rules for management data.

[0276] Exemplarily, the management data can include one or more of the following: spectrum resource, resource block (RB) resource, number of radio resource control (RRC) connected terminal devices, data radio bearer (DRB) resource.

[0277] Optionally, the management rule can include one or more of the following: operator granularity statistical indication information, identification of at least one operator, identification of at least one operator management instance, and at least one management data receiving address.

[0278] The identification of at least one operator can include a first identification of a first operator, and / or identification of at least one second operator, and / or identification of at least one external operator. The identification of at least one second operator can include a second identification. The identification of at least one operator management instance can include a first operator management instance identification, and / or a second operator management instance identification, and / or at least one external operator management instance identification. That is, the management unit of the first operator can subscribe to the management data related to the first operator, and can also subscribe to the management data of other operators, such as the second operator, the external operator, and the like.

[0279] Exemplarily, the operator granularity statistical indication information can be used to indicate that all the management data is counted and reported according to the operator granularity.

[0280] For example, assuming that the identification of at least one operator includes a first identification of a first operator and a second identification of a second operator, the operator granularity statistical indication information can indicate that each item of data included in the management data is counted and reported according to the first operator and the second operator respectively.

[0281] Exemplarily, the operator granularity statistical indication information can be used to indicate that part of the management data is counted and reported according to the operator granularity.

[0282] For example, assuming that the identification of at least one operator includes a first identification of a first operator and a second identification of a second operator, the operator granularity statistical indication information can indicate that the spectrum resource and the RB resource, which are two items of management data, are counted and reported according to the first operator and the second operator, and other management data is directly counted and reported, without counting and reporting according to the operator granularity.

[0283] Optionally, the management data receiving address is associated with the identification of the operator, and can be used to indicate the management data receiving address of the operator corresponding to the identification of the operator. The management data receiving address can be a file receiving address or a stream receiving address.

[0284] In some embodiments, the at least one management data receiving address can include a management data receiving address of an operator corresponding to each of the at least one operator identifier. The at least one management data receiving address can be one-to-one corresponding to the at least one operator identifier.

[0285] That is, the at least one management data receiving address can be a management data receiving address of each of the at least one operator.

[0286] For example, assuming that the at least one operator identifier includes a first identifier of a first operator and a second identifier of a second operator, and the at least one management data receiving address includes a management data receiving address of the first operator and a management data receiving address of the second operator.

[0287] In other embodiments, the at least one management data receiving address can include a management data receiving address of an operator corresponding to part of the at least one operator identifier.

[0288] That is, the at least one management data receiving address can be a management data receiving address of part of the at least one operator.

[0289] For example, assuming that the at least one operator identifier includes a first identifier of a first operator and a second identifier of a second operator, the at least one management data receiving address can include only the management data receiving address of the first operator and not include the management data receiving address of the second operator.

[0290] S1402, the first management unit determines the management data of the first operator according to the management rule.

[0291] Optionally, the first management unit can periodically determine the management data of an operator corresponding to the at least one operator identifier according to the management rule.

[0292] For example, the first management unit can determine the management data of the first operator and / or the management data of the second operator according to the management rule, and can also determine the management data of other operators, which will not be listed one by one in this application.

[0293] In some embodiments, before the first management unit can periodically determine the management data of an operator corresponding to the at least one operator identifier according to the management rule, the first management unit can further include: the management unit of the first operator sends a query request to the first management unit. Correspondingly, the first management unit receives the query request from the management unit of the first operator. And / or, the management unit of the second operator sends a query request to the first management unit. Correspondingly, the first management unit receives the query request from the management unit of the second operator.

[0294] That is, the first management unit can determine the management data of the operator corresponding to the identifier of the operator according to the management rule after receiving the query request, and the query request can be sent by the operator corresponding to any identifier of the at least one operator.

[0295] S1403, the first management unit sends the management data of the first operator to the management unit of the first operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the first operator receives the management data of the first operator from the first management unit.

[0296] Exemplarily, the first management unit can periodically send the management data of the first operator to the management unit of the first operator.

[0297] Exemplarily, the first management unit can send the management data of the first operator to the management unit of the first operator after receiving the query request sent by the management unit of the first operator.

[0298] That is, the first management unit can periodically report the management data to the operator management unit, and can report the management data after receiving the query request.

[0299] Optionally, the first management unit can send the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the second operator can receive the management data of the second operator from the first management unit.

[0300] Exemplarily, the first management unit can periodically send the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator.

[0301] Exemplarily, the first management unit can send the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator after receiving the query request sent by the management unit of the second operator.

[0302] Optionally, the first management unit can send the management data of the operator corresponding to the identifier of the operator to the management data receiving address of the at least one operator. Correspondingly, the at least one operator management unit can receive the management data from the first management unit through the management data receiving address of the operator.

[0303] For example, the first management unit can send the management data of the first operator to the management data receiving address of the first operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the first operator can receive the management data of the first operator from the first management unit through the management data receiving address of the first operator.

[0304] For example, the first management unit can send the management data of the second operator to the management data receiving address of the second operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the second operator can receive the management data of the second operator from the first management unit through the management data receiving address of the second operator.

[0305] That is, the first management unit can send the management data to the management data receiving address of each operator corresponding to the identifier of each operator.

[0306] Based on Figure 14 As shown in the method for configuring the access network management, in the network monitoring stage, the management data acquisition capability of each operator can be determined by the management unit of the first operator, so that the differentiated requirements among multiple operators or between an operator and an enterprise can be met.

[0307] Figure 15 Flowchart of the method for configuring the access network management provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 5 .

[0308] In a possible design, the method for configuring the access network management provided by the embodiments of the present application can further include the following S1501-S1503:

[0309] S1501, the management unit of the second operator sends a management message to the first management unit. Correspondingly, the first management unit receives the management message from the management unit of the second operator.

[0310] The specific implementation of the management message can refer to the above S1401, and details are not described herein.

[0311] The identifier of at least one operator can include a second identifier of the second operator and / or an identifier of at least one external operator associated with the second operator. That is, the management unit of the second operator can subscribe to the management data related to itself.

[0312] S1502, the first management unit determines the management data of the second operator according to the management rule.

[0313] Optionally, the first management unit can periodically determine the management data of the operator corresponding to the identifier of at least one operator according to the management rule.

[0314] For example, the identifier of at least one operator can include a second identifier of the second operator and / or an identifier of an external operator associated with the second operator, that is, the first management unit can determine the management data of the second operator and / or the management data of the external operator associated with the second operator.

[0315] In some embodiments, before the first management unit determines the management data of the operator corresponding to the operator identifier according to the management rule, the method further includes: the management unit of the second operator sends a query request to the first management unit. Accordingly, the first management unit receives the query request from the management unit of the second operator.

[0316] That is, the first management unit can determine the management data of the operator corresponding to the operator identifier according to the management rule after receiving the query request.

[0317] S1503, the first management unit sends the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator. Accordingly, the management unit of the second operator receives the management data from the first management unit.

[0318] Exemplarily, the first management unit can periodically send the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator.

[0319] Exemplarily, the first management unit can send the management data of the first operator to the management unit of the second operator after receiving the query request sent by the management unit of the second operator.

[0320] Optionally, the first management unit can send the management data of the second operator to the second operator management data receiving address. Accordingly, the management unit of the second operator can receive the management data of the second operator from the first management unit through the second operator management data receiving address.

[0321] That is, the first management unit can send the management data of the second operator to the management unit of the second operator through the management data receiving address corresponding to the second operator.

[0322] Based on Figure 15 The method for configuring the access network management shown in the figure, in the network monitoring stage, the management unit of the second operator can independently determine the acquisition ability of the management data itself, so as to meet the differentiated needs between multiple operators or between operators and enterprises.

[0323] Figure 16 The flowchart of the method for configuring the access network management provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 6 .

[0324] As Figures 5-8 shown, the method for configuring the access network management includes the following steps:

[0325] S1601, the management unit of the first operator determines the first identifier of the first operator and the first management configuration information of the access network management object of the first operator.

[0326] Optionally, the management unit of the first operator can determine the identity of the at least one operator and the management configuration information of the access network management object of the at least one operator.

[0327] For example, the identity of the at least one operator can include one or more of the following: the first identity of the first operator, the identity of the at least one second operator, the identity of the at least one external operator. The identity of the at least one second operator can include the second identity of the second operator.

[0328] For example, the management configuration information of the access network management object of the at least one operator can include the first management configuration information, the management configuration information of the access network management object of the at least one external operator.

[0329] That is, the management unit of the first operator can not determine the first management configuration information of the access network management object of the second operator.

[0330] For the specific implementation of the management configuration information, the identity of the at least one operator, and the access network management object, refer to S301 described above, which will not be repeated here.

Figures 9-11 The specific implementation of the first management unit creating the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator in the access network management object can be referred to S305, and details are not described herein again.

[0340] That is, in S1603, the first management unit can create only the second operator management instance, and the second management configuration information is not configured under the second operator management instance.

[0344] In a possible design, the first management unit can send the first message to the management unit of the first operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the first operator can receive the first message from the first management unit.

[0345] In another possible design, the first management unit can send the second message and the third message to the management unit of the first operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the first operator can receive the second message and the third message from the first management unit.

[0346] The specific implementation of the first message, the second message and the third message can be referred to S305, and details are not described herein again.

[0347] In S1605, the management unit of the first operator can send an access message to the management unit of the second operator. Correspondingly, the management unit of the second operator can receive the access message from the management unit of the first operator.

[0353] S1608, the first management unit configures the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator in the access network management object according to the second management configuration information.

[0354] The specific implementation of the first management unit configuring the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator in the access network management object according to the second management configuration information can refer to the example shown in S306, and details are not repeated here. Figure 16

[0355] Based on the access network management configuration method shown in Figure 17 , the first management unit can first create and configure the first operator management instance corresponding to the first operator in the access network management object, and only create the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator, and then configure the second operator management instance corresponding to the second operator according to the second management configuration information. The created first operator management instance and the second operator management instance can be different, which can meet the differentiated configuration requirements between different operators or between operators and enterprises, and can improve the flexibility of network configuration.

[0356] Figure 7 The flowchart of the access network management configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 17 .

[0357] As shown in Figure 17 , the access network management configuration method includes the following steps:

[0358] S1701, the management unit of the second operator sends the second identity and the second management configuration information to the management unit of the first operator. Accordingly, the management unit of the first operator receives the second identity and the second management configuration information from the management unit of the second operator.

[0359] ​S1702, the management unit of the first operator determines the identifier of at least one operator and the management configuration information of the access network management object of at least one operator.

[0360] For the specific implementation of S1702, please refer to the above-mentioned S301, where the management unit of the first operator can determine the identifier of at least one operator and the management configuration information of the access network management object of at least one operator. The specific implementation of this will not be repeated here.
