[0078] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0079] A third message is sent to a third network element in the core network, where the third message is used to cancel the subscription to the analysis service.

[0080] In the above embodiment, when the terminal side does not need to subscribe to the analysis service, it can send a third message to the third network element to cancel the subscription, which is convenient for subscription and cancellation of the analysis service and improves the user experience.

[0081] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first message includes one or more of a terminal identification ID, a general public user identification GPSI, location information of the terminal, or an identifier of the analysis service.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the first message may include the terminal ID, GPSI, the terminal's location information and the ID of the analysis service to achieve the correspondence between the analysis service and the terminal, avoid feedback errors in the analysis results of the analysis service, and ensure that the terminal can receive the analysis results of the requested analysis service.

[0083] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for obtaining analysis results, the method comprising:

[0084] receiving a first message sent by a terminal, where the first message is used to indicate an analysis service requested by the terminal;

[0085] A fourth message is sent to a third network element in the core network, where the fourth message is used to request analysis of the analysis service.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the first network element sends a request analysis service message to the third network element to analyze the analysis service requested by the terminal.

[0108] In conjunction with some embodiments of the fourth aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0109] Determining whether the DIRF network element stores historical analysis results of the analysis service;

[0110] The DIRF network element stores the historical analysis result, and determines that the DIRF network element is the fifth network element; or,

[0111] The DIRF network element does not store the historical analysis result, and determines that the DCP network element is the fifth network element.

[0370] FIG9 is a flow chart of a method for analyzing results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG9 , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for analyzing results, and the method includes:

[0371] Step S9101: The terminal sends a first message to the first network element.

[0372] The terminal UE sends a first message Namf_AnalyticExposure_Subscribe to the first network element AMF through the RAN, which includes the terminal UE identification ID, the general public user identity GPSI and the terminal UE location information.

[0373] Step S9102: The first network element sends a fourth message to the third network element.

[0374] The first network element AMF sends the fourth message Ndicf_AnalyticExposure_Request to the third network element DICF, which includes information such as the target cycle time window, formatting instructions, and the ID of the analysis service.

[0375] Step S9103: The third network element determines the fifth network element according to the fourth message.

[0376] The third network element DICF determines, based on the information carried in the message, whether there is any DIRF instance that can provide the analysis requested in step S9102.

[0377] Step S9104: The third network element sends a fifth message to the DIRF network element.

[0378] When the third network element DICF network element determines that the DIRF network element can provide analysis, the DICF network element uses the fifth message Ndirf_AnalyticsRetrieval_Subscribe to send an analysis request to the DIRF network element. The request message includes an analysis ID and analysis specifications. If analysis can be provided, the process jumps to step S9106.

[0379] Step S9105: The third network element sends a fifth message to the DCP network element.

[0380] When the third network element DICF determines that the DIRF network element does not store relevant analysis information, that is, the DIRF network element does not have the ability to provide analysis services, the third network element uses the fifth message Ndcp_AnalyticsProcess_Subscribe to send an analysis request to the DCP network element. The request message contains an analysis ID and analysis specifications. If analysis can be provided, the process jumps to step S9106.

[0381] Step S9106: The fifth network element sends a sixth message to the third network element.

[0382] According to the decision of steps S9104 and S9105, DIRF uses Ndirf_AnalyticsRetrieval_Notify or DCP uses Ndcp_AnalyticsProcess_Notify to reply the requested analysis to the third network element DICF, where DIRF directly sends the relevant analysis results stored in the network element to DICF, and DCP needs to perform local calculation and processing according to the request of the terminal UE, and then format the obtained analysis results and send them to DICF. The analysis can be sent in one or more notification messages.

[0383] Step S9107: The third network element determines the first analysis result.

[0384] The third network element DICF aggregates the notification messages sent by the DIRF or DCP, performs unified formatting processing, and determines the first analysis result.

[0385] Step S9108: The third network element sends a second message to the fourth network element.

[0386] The third network element DICF sends a second message to the fourth network element DIEF using Ndief_AnalyticsResult_Exposure.

[0387] Step S9109: The fourth network element sends a second message to the second network element.

[0388] The fourth network element DIEF uses Ndief_AnalyticsExposure_Notify to send the second message to the RAN through the second network element user plane UPF, and the RAN then transparently transmits it to the UE.

[0389] Step S9110: The terminal sends a third message to the third network element.

[0390] When the terminal UE no longer wishes to collect analysis or has received the required analysis results, the terminal UE calls Ndicf_AnalytisExposure_Unsubscribe (including the subscription analysis ID) to send a third message to the third network element DICF network element, that is, a subscription cancellation message.

[0391] Step S9111: The third network element sends a third message to the DIRF.

[0392] If the analysis related to the terminal UE is provided by the DIRF network element, the third network element DICF sends a third message Ndirf_AnalyticsRetrieval_Unsubscribe to the DRIF network element to cancel the subscription.

[0393] Step S9112: The third network element sends a third message to the DCP.

[0394] If the analysis related to the terminal UE is provided by the DCP network element, the third network element DICF sends a third message Ndcp_AnalyticsProcess_Unsubscribe to the DCP network element to cancel the subscription.

For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods.
