[0245] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network function is described as NWDAF, the second network function is described as PCF, the third network function is described as SMF, and the fourth network function is described as UPF. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the analysis information provided by NWDAF to PCF may include policy recommendation analysis information.

[0246] Taking into account that NWDAF has more comprehensive global knowledge and vision, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, an analysis result based on policy control promotion can be added, that is: NWDAF makes recommendations or suggestions for policy control at granularities such as terminals and slices based on more comprehensive information, which is more accurate and effective, and is converted into specific QoS parameters by PCF and sent down to end-to-end for execution.

[0247] When NWDAF provides policy control recommendations / suggestions (i.e., policy recommendation analysis information), taking the service experience-oriented QoS parameter setting as an example, as shown in Figure 5, the process may include:

[0248] Step 501: NWDAF collects data from various data sources to train the model. For example, NWDAF can collect data from terminals, RAN, SMF, Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM), etc.

[0249] Step 502: NWDAF (eg, Model Training Logic Function (MTLF)) trains a policy recommendation (Policy Recommendation) related model, and NWDAF Analysis Logic Function (AnLF) obtains an analysis model.

[0250] Step 503: Taking the service experience-oriented QoS parameter setting as an example, the PCF subscribes to the policy analysis information (Policy Recommendation Analytics) from the NWDAF and carries the expected service experience, such as MOS value.

[0251] Step 503a: PCF sends the user subscription information to NWDAF, such as different user types such as gold, silver, and bronze. This step is optional.

[0252] Step 504: NWDAF collects real-time data from various data sources, performs analysis and reasoning using the analysis model, and obtains Policy Recommendation Analytics information.

[0253] Step 505: Based on the expected service experience, the NWDAF provides the PCF with Policy Recommendation Analytics information, which carries one or more sets of QoS parameters.

[0254] Among them, QoS parameters include: bit rate, delay, jitter, 5QI, bandwidth (such as MBR, GBR) and other parameters.

[0255] There are two different options for 5QI parameters:

[0256] 1) Provide parameter updates for standard 5QI values;

[0257] 2) To provide customized 5QI values, a specific 5QI value needs to be newly defined.

[0258] If step 503a is executed, the PCF sends the user's contract information, such as gold / silver / bronze user types, to the NWDAF. During analysis and reasoning, the NWDAF needs to comprehensively consider the user's contract information and then send policy recommendations / suggestions (such as Policy Recommendation Analytics information) to the PCF.

[0259] Step 506: The PCF generates a set of QoS parameters.

[0260] If step 503a is not performed, based on the analysis information provided by the NWDAF, the PCF makes a decision in combination with the user's subscription information to obtain a set of QoS parameters;

[0261] If step 503a is executed, based on the analysis information provided by the NWDAF, the PCF makes a local decision and obtains a set of QoS parameters.

[0262] Step 507: The PCF notifies the RAN and the User Equipment (UE) through the Authentication Management Function (AMF) to set relevant QoS parameters, including bit rate, delay, jitter, 5QI, bandwidth (such as MBR, GBR), etc.

[0263] Step 508: PCF notifies SMF to set relevant QoS parameters, including bit rate, delay, jitter, 5QI, bandwidth (such as MBR, GBR), etc.

[0264] Step 509: SMF notifies UPF to set relevant QoS parameters, including bit rate, delay, jitter, 5QI, bandwidth (such as MBR, GBR), etc.

[0265] Step 510: Based on the newly set QoS parameters, the UPF performs user plane processing.

[0266] See Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of an exemplary scenario of an embodiment of the present disclosure. NWDAF collects data from various data sources, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Signal-to-noise and Interference Ratio (SINR), etc. for training to obtain a model. Based on the expected service experience (MOS≥4) provided by PCF, NWDAF uses the model, collected real-time data, etc. to perform analysis and reasoning to determine the recommended bit rate, delay, etc., and sends it to PCF. PCF will notify SMF of the bit rate, delay, etc. determined based on the recommended bit rate and delay, and SMF will notify UPF. SMF and UPF set relevant parameters.
