DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings and examples. Unless inconsistent, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other in any combination.

[0012] In addition, terms such as "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims, and drawings of the present invention are intended to distinguish between similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or priority.

[0013] In 5G and post-5G mobile communication systems, when editing, deploying, and managing NFs through Network Functions Virtualization Management and Orchestration (NFV-MANO), it is necessary to support the SBA method. In response to this need, an embodiment of the present invention provides a form for realizing editing and deployment of NFs based on NFS, and the form in the embodiment of the present invention makes it easy to edit and deploy NFs based on NFS, which is also an effective complement and improvement to standard protocols. In this specification, "editing" means "orchestration."

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for deploying resources required by a network function NF according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes S102 to S106.

[0015] In S102, information on the network function service NFS included in the edit-waiting target NF is determined.

[0016] In S104, a virtual network function descriptor VNFD of the target NF is generated based on information of the NFS included in the target NF.

[0017] At S106, deploy required resources to the target NF based on the VNFD.

[0018] Here, the above steps can be performed by an edit deployment system (also called an edit deployment tool).

[0019] In the above embodiment, a VNFD for an NF is generated based on the NFS information contained in the NF, and then the necessary resources are deployed in the NF based on the VNFD, that is, the NF is deployed based on a network function service, and then the NF is deployed in an SBA, thereby solving the problem that it is not clear in the protocols existing in the related art how to deploy an NF in an SBA.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple methods for determining the information of the network function service NFS included in the target network function NF to be edited. For example, the NFS information can be input directly, or a template containing the NFS information can be called up and the NFS information in the template can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The above methods are described below.

[0021] Determination method 1: Determining that the received input NFS information is the NFS information included in the target NF. In the determination method 1, the NFS information may be information input by a user through an interaction interface, or may be NFS information input from a northbound interface system.

[0022] Determination method 2: Determining a pre-configured service blueprint template corresponding to the target NF and including NFS information, adjusting the NFS information included in the service blueprint template according to the received adjustment instruction, obtaining the updated NFS information, and using the updated NFS information as the NFS information included in the target NF. In the determination method 2, multiple service blueprint templates (which can be stored in the form of a manifest file) can be pre-configured, and each service blueprint template can be used to describe information such as the type, number, and deployment parameters between NFSs included in a specific NF (i.e., the target NF), where each service blueprint template includes: a number indicating the number of NFS types and instances of each NFS type included in the NF; a logical connection relationship between NFS; NFS deployment parameters including NFS marks, NFS logical network planes, NFS application software information, NFS resource requirement characteristics (e.g., acceleration requirements), NFS Quality of Service (QoS) characteristics, NFS Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, NFS gateways, NFS routing information, and NFS affinity / anti-affinity requirements; and an NFS flexible policy including a policy for adding / removing instances of a certain NFS type. Information on the above may be included.

[0023] In the above-mentioned determination method 2, the above-mentioned adjustment instruction may be an adjustment instruction input by a user via an interaction interface, or may be an adjustment instruction input from a northbound interface system.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, adjusting the NFS information included in the service blueprint template according to the received adjustment instruction and obtaining the updated NFS information includes at least one of the following adjustment methods:

[0025] Adjustment method 1: According to the received first adjustment instruction, the NFS information included in the service blueprint template is adjusted, and updated NFS information is obtained. Here, the first adjustment instruction includes adjustment information for the NFS information included in the service blueprint template. In adjustment method 1, the NFS information included in the service blueprint template is directly adjusted.

[0026] Adjustment method 2: According to the received second adjustment instruction, calculate the actual NFS information included in the target NF, adjust the NFS information included in the service blueprint template based on the actual NFS information, and obtain the updated NFS information. Here, the second adjustment instruction includes a Service-Level Agreement (SLA) parameter of the target NF. In the adjustment method 2, indirect adjustment of the NFS information included in the service blueprint template is realized according to the second adjustment instruction, that is, according to the second adjustment instruction, the NFS information that the NF should actually include is determined, and the NFS information included in the service blueprint template is adjusted based on the NFS information that should actually be included. Here, the second adjustment instruction may be instruction information input by a user via an interaction interface, or instruction information input from a northbound interface system.

[0027] In one preferred embodiment, the SLA parameters include at least one of a traffic model, a capacity, a quality of service, and a reliability. In this embodiment, the capacity may be a user capacity, i.e., the number of users that the editing and deployment system can support, the quality of service QoS may be the quality of the network, and the reliability may be the reliability of the editing and deployment system.

[0028] In one preferred embodiment, generating a Virtual Network Function Descriptor (VNFD) of the target NF based on information of an NFS included in the target NF includes: calculating resources required for editing the target NF based on information of the NFS; and generating a VNFD including information of the above resources.

[0029] In one preferred embodiment, the above resources include the type and number of virtual machines (VMs), an NFS flexible policy, required network links, storage resources, and mirroring. In this embodiment, the number may be the number of instances of a single type of virtual machine, the NFS flexible policy is similar to the NFS flexible policy in the previous embodiment, the storage may be a hard disk resource, i.e., a hard disk resource required for NFS deployment, and the mirroring may be an NFS version. In this embodiment, if the calculated NFS flexible policy does not match the NFS flexible policy in the service blueprint template, the calculated NFS flexible policy can be used to update the NFS flexible template in the service blueprint template.

[0030] In one preferred embodiment, performing deployment of required resources to the target NF based on the VNFD includes transmitting the VNFD to a network virtualization infrastructure, NFVI, to instruct the NFVI to perform deployment of required resources to the target NF.

[0031] In one preferred embodiment, sending the VNFD to a network function virtual infrastructure NFVI to instruct the NFVI to perform deployment of required resources to the target NFs includes sending the VNFD to the NFVI through Management and Orchestration (MANO) and instructing the NFVI to perform deployment of required resources to the NFs, i.e., when the NFVI receives the VNFD, it performs deployment of required resources to the NFs. In this embodiment, the editing and deployment system and the MANO that perform the above steps may be provided in a distributed manner, or of course, the two may be integrated together.

[0032] In one preferred embodiment, determining the information of the network function service NFS included in the target network function NF to be edited includes determining the information of the NFS included in the target NF based on the information input by the received user, or determining the information of the NFS included in the target NF based on the information received from the northbound management system. The northbound management system described in this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments may be an upper management system of the edit deployment system. Thus, it can be seen that the NF deployment operation in the embodiment of the present invention may be triggered by the user or may be triggered by the northbound management system.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the information of the NFS included in the target NF includes at least one of the types of NFS included in the NF and the number of instances of each type, the logical connection relationships of the NFS included in the NF, the deployment parameters of the NFS included in the NF, and the flexible policies of the NFS included in the NF. In one embodiment, the listed information of the NFS is only preferred information, and the information of the NFS may further include other information that may appear subsequently.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the deployment parameters of the NFS included in the NF include at least one of identification information of the NFS included in the NF, logical network plane information of the NFS included in the NF, application software information of the NFS included in the NF, resource requirement characteristic information of the NFS included in the NF, quality of service (QoS) characteristic information of the NFS included in the NF, network protocol (IP) address information of the NFS included in the NF, gateway information of the NFS included in the NF, routing information of the NFS included in the NF, affinity requirement information of the NFS included in the NF, and anti-affinity requirement information of the NFS included in the NF. In one embodiment, the listed deployment parameters of the NFS are only preferred parameters, and the deployment parameters of the NFS may further include other parameters that may appear subsequently.

[0035] In addition, in one embodiment, the deployment mode corresponding to the above adjustment method 1 may be called a manual deployment mode (corresponding to a mode in which a user triggers a deployment operation), and the deployment mode corresponding to the above adjustment method 2 may be called an automatic deployment mode. Below, the manual deployment mode and the automatic deployment mode will be described with reference to the embodiment.

[0036] [Example 1] The process of manually editing and deploying an NF (taking the Access Management Function (AMF) as an example, the AMF is an NF in a 5G core network and is responsible for access and mobility management of 5G users) based on an NFS can be seen in FIG. 2, and the process assumes that a service blueprint manifest file or template of the NF (here, AMF) has been pre-configured in an editing tool (corresponding to the above-mentioned editing and deployment system). As shown in FIG. 2, the process includes the following steps:

[0037] At 201, the user selects the NF (here, AMF) that needs to be edited in the editing tool interface.

[0038] At 202, the editing tool background selects a pre-configured AMF service blueprint template from the “NF Service Blueprint Management” module.

[0039] At 203, an editing tool analyzes the pre-configured AMF service blueprint template and, based on the template, can represent the NFS components required for AMF in an interaction interface of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

[0040] In 204, the user selects an AMF NFS component (corresponding to the NFS included in the NF described above), sets the type, number and deployment attributes of the component, such as the logical network plane name of the service, QoS parameters, external service IP address and gateway, etc., and generates a new AMF service blueprint and transmits it to the resource conversion module.

[0041] At 205, a resource conversion module calculates required resources, such as VM type and number, flexible policy, network link, storage resource, and mirroring, based on the selected service type, number and other parameter information.

[0042] At 206, an editing tool generates a standard AMF VNFD file. At 207, MANO interacts with NFVI based on the AMF VNFD file and deploys the resources required for AMF.

[0043] [Example 2] The process of using the automatic method to edit and deploy NF (taking AMF as an example) based on NFS can be seen in Figure 3, and the process assumes that the service blueprint manifest file or template of NF (here, AMF) is pre-configured in the editing tool. As shown in Figure 3, the process includes the following steps:

[0044] At 301, the user selects the NF (here, AMF) that needs to be edited in the editing tool interface.

[0045] At 302, the editing tool background selects a pre-configured AMF service blueprint template from the “NF Service Blueprint Management” module.

[0046] At 303, a user inputs information such as the traffic model, capacity, QoS and reliability of the NF into the editing tool interface.

[0047] At 304, the editing tool calculates the type, number and deployment attributes of NFS required for AMF, such as the logical network plane name of the service, QoS parameters, IP address and gateway of the external service, etc., and automatically generates a new AMF service blueprint and transmits it to the resource conversion module.

[0048] At 305, a resource conversion module calculates required resources, such as VM type and number, flexible policy, network link, storage resource, and mirroring, etc., based on the selected service type, number and other parameter information.

[0049] 306, the editing tool generates a standard AMF VNFD file. At 307, MANO interacts with NFVI based on the AMF VNFD file and deploys the resources required for AMF.

[0050] Through the above steps, the user can easily perform the editing deployment and management of NF based on NFS through the editing tool. The editing tool can be deployed together with MANO in use, or deployed independently.

[0051] From the above description of the embodiments, the methods according to the above embodiments can be realized by adding a required general-purpose hardware platform to the software, and of course, can also be realized by hardware. The technical solution of the present invention can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (e.g., ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes multiple instructions for performing the methods according to multiple embodiments of the present invention in a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device, etc.).
