[0089] The following detailed description of this exemplary implementation method is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0090] First, Figure 2 shows an interactive schematic diagram of a data reporting method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the data reporting method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0091] S202: DSMF receives data service request.

[0092] In one possible embodiment, the data service request may carry information such as service type, service requirements, data service execution node information, and data service area, for requesting data service services and data reporting.

[0093] Business types can include: high-precision positioning, imaging mapping, drone flight monitoring, environmental monitoring, etc., in the field of perception.

[0094] Business requirements may include: sensing mode, sensing area, sensing QoS requirements, sensing data update frequency, etc.

[0095] The data service area can include the sensing area corresponding to the data service business.

[0096] In one possible embodiment, the data service request may be triggered by the AF and sent to the SEF, and the SEF selects the DSMF based on the data service area in the data service request.

[0097] S204: In response to a data service request, the DSMF selects the data reporting path, eAMF, user equipment that performs business data acquisition tasks, and DPF that performs data processing and analysis tasks.

[0098] In one possible embodiment, DSMF can also respond to a data service request by selecting a protocol that meets the transmission requirements of the service data and generating a corresponding data transmission protocol identifier. For example, data transmission can be carried on Internet Protocol (IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol for the User Plane (GTP-U), or other protocols to meet the transmission data type and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of a specific data service.

[0099] In one possible embodiment, the DSMF can also select a data storage network element (DSF) to perform the business data storage task in response to a data service service request.

[0100] In one possible embodiment, the DSMF can respond to a data service service request by obtaining the service type and service requirements in the data service service request; selecting a data reporting path according to the service type and service requirements; selecting a protocol that meets the service data transmission requirements and generating a data transmission protocol identifier; selecting a DPF to perform data processing and analysis tasks and a DSF to perform service data storage tasks; and selecting an eAMF and a user equipment to perform data acquisition tasks.

[0101] Based on the service type and requirements, select the corresponding data reporting path, data transmission protocol, DPF, DSF, and UE for task execution, as well as the eAMF required during interaction with the UE. Depending on different service types and requirements, select the appropriate or optimal processing method and data reporting path. DSMF supports selection from multiple data reporting paths based on data service requirements, improving the efficiency and flexibility of data transmission on the UE side.

[0102] S206: DSMF sends a service data collection task to eAMF.

[0103] S208: DSMF sends data processing and analysis tasks to DPF.

[0104] S210: eAMF receives service data acquisition tasks sent by DSMF. The service data acquisition task includes the data reporting path and the user equipment that executes the service data acquisition task.

[0105] S212: DPF receives data sent by DSMF for data processing and analysis tasks.

[0106] S214: eAMF sends the service data collection task to the user equipment.

[0107] S216: The UE receives the service data collection task sent by the enhanced access and mobility management network element eAMF.

[0108] S218: The UE performs a service data collection task and obtains service data.

[0109] S220: The UE reports service data according to the data reporting path.

[0110] In one possible embodiment, the UE can send service data according to different data reporting paths, and the service data is eventually sent to the DPF for processing and analysis.

[0111] It should be noted that service data may be forwarded through other network elements in the data reporting channel corresponding to the data reporting path, such as eAMF, DSMF, UPF, etc., and may also need to go through RAN. If there is a direct data reporting channel between UE and DPF, it can also be reported directly to DPF.

[0112] S222: DPF receives service data.

[0113] S224: DPF obtains data service results based on business data.

[0114] In one possible embodiment, after obtaining the data service results, the DPF can send the data service results to the DSF; the data service results include the original business data or the results of data processing and analysis.

[0115] In one possible embodiment, after the data service result is stored by the DSF, the DSF sends the data service result address to the DSMF.

[0116] In one possible implementation, DSMF can open the data service results to AF.

[0117] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 shows an interactive flowchart of another data reporting method, which includes the following steps:

[0118] S302: AF sends a data service request to SEF.

[0119] S304: SEF selects DSMF.

[0120] S306: Send a data service request to DSMF.

[0121] S308: In response to a data service request, the DSMF selects the data reporting path, eAMF, user equipment to perform business data acquisition tasks, DPF to perform data processing and analysis tasks, and DSF to perform data storage tasks.

[0122] S310: DSMF sends a service data collection task to eAMF.

[0123] The business data collection task includes the data reporting path and the user equipment that executes the business data collection task.

[0124] S312: DSMF sends data processing and analysis tasks to DPF.

[0125] S314: DSMF sends a data storage task to DSF.

[0126] S316: eAMF sends the service data collection task to the user equipment.

[0127] S318: The UE performs a service data collection task and obtains service data.

[0128] S320: The UE reports service data according to the data reporting path.

[0129] S322: DPF receives service data.

[0130] S324: DPF obtains data service results based on business data.

[0131] S326: The DPF sends the data service results to the DSF.

[0132] S328: DSF sends the data service result address to DSMF.

[0133] S330: DSMF provides data service results to AF.

[0134] In one possible implementation, the data reporting path can include multiple paths. After the DSMF selects the data reporting path and sends the data acquisition task to the UE and the data analysis and processing task to the DPF, the UE reports service data according to the data reporting path, and the DPF analyzes and processes the received service data.

[0135] The following four examples will introduce and explain four data reporting paths.

[0136] Example 1: First reporting path.

[0137] Figure 4 illustrates the interaction diagram of another data reporting method, which includes the following steps:

[0138] S402: DSMF establishes a connection with DPF.

[0139] S404: DSMF sends the first connection establishment message to eAMF, indicating that the connection between DSMF and DPF has been established.

[0140] The first connection establishment message includes DPF tunnel information, quality of service information, and the data transmission protocol identifier selected by DSMF in response to the data service service request.

[0141] S406: eAMF sends an N2 request to the Radio Access Network (RAN).

[0142] The N2 request is used to request radio resources from a user equipment.

[0143] S408: RAN requests radio resources from UE.

[0144] S410: RAN sends an N2 request reply to eAMF.

[0145] The N2 request response includes RAN-related tunnel information.

[0146] S412: eAMF sends a RAN response to DSMF.

[0147] The RAN response includes RAN-related tunnel information.

[0148] S414: Based on the tunnel information related to the RAN, the DSMF establishes a data reporting channel with the user equipment and updates the DPF.

[0149] S416: The DPF confirms that the data reporting channel with the first reporting path of the user equipment has been established.

[0150] S418: The DPF sends a message to the DSMF indicating that the data reporting channel for the first reporting path has been established.

[0151] S420: DSMF sends a message to eAMF indicating that the data reporting channel for the first reporting path has been established.

[0152] S422: eAMF sends a message to the user equipment indicating that the data reporting channel for the first reporting path has been established.

[0153] S424: The UE performs a service data acquisition task and obtains service data.

[0154] S426: The UE sends the service data to the DPF according to the data reporting channel corresponding to the first reporting path.

[0155] Using the method described in Embodiment 1 above, the DSMF establishes a connection with the DPF and establishes a connection with the UE through the relevant tunnel information of the RAN. This allows the UE to obtain the data reporting channel of the first reporting path between the UE and the DPF, enabling the DPF to receive service data and perform subsequent processing.

[0156] Example 2: Second Reporting Path. The second reporting path includes a first path between the user equipment and the UPF and a second path between the UPF and the DPF. In the first path, the UPF is the Session Management Network Element (SMF) selected by the eAMF based on the location information of the user equipment.

[0157] Figure 5 illustrates the interaction diagram of another data reporting method, as shown in Figure 5, which includes the following steps:

[0158] S502: Send a request message to eAMF to establish a data reporting channel for the second reporting path.

[0159] S504: eAMF selects SMF.

[0160] S506: eAMF sends a request to SMF to establish a data reporting channel for the first path.

[0161] S508: SMF selects UPF based on the location information of the user equipment.

[0162] S510: SMF establishes a connection with UPF.

[0163] S512: The SMF sends a second connection establishment message to the eAMF, indicating that the connection between the SMF and the UPF has been established.

[0164] The second connection establishment message includes UPF tunnel information and quality of service information.

[0165] S514: eAMF sends an N2 message to RAN.

[0166] S516: The RAN requests radio resources from the user equipment and establishes a data reporting channel for the first path between the user equipment and the UPF.

[0167] The N2 message includes UPF tunnel information and service quality information.

[0168] S518: The UE confirms that the data reporting channel for the first path has been established.

[0169] S520: The UE sends a message to the eAMF indicating that the establishment of the first path data reporting channel has been completed.

[0170] The message indicating the completion of the data reporting channel establishment for the first path includes UPF information.

[0171] S522: eAMF sends a message to DSMF indicating that the establishment of the first path data reporting channel is complete.

[0172] S524: DSMF sends a request to DPF to establish a data reporting channel for the second path.

[0173] The establishment request for the second path data reporting channel includes UPF information.

[0174] S526: The DPF sends a request message to the UPF to establish a data reporting channel for the second path.

[0175] S528: DPF and UPF establish a second path for data reporting.

[0176] S530: The DPF sends a message to the DSMF indicating that the data reporting channel for the second reporting path has been established.

[0177] S532: DSMF sends a message to eAMF indicating that the data reporting channel for the second reporting path has been established.

[0178] S534: eAMF sends a message to UE indicating that the data reporting channel of the second reporting path has been established.

[0179] S536: The UE performs a service data acquisition task and obtains service data.

[0180] S538: The UE sends service data to the UPF through the data reporting channel of the first path.

[0181] S540: The UPF sends business data to the DPF through the data reporting channel of the second path.

[0182] In Embodiment 2, based on the data reporting process via UPF, the service data collected by the UE is reported to DPF, where it is processed and analyzed. In Embodiment 1, however, the service data collected by the UE is reported to DPF via a data reporting process that does not go through UPF.

[0183] Example 3: Third reporting path, which is the non-access stratum message path between the user equipment and DSMF.

[0184] Figure 6 illustrates the interaction diagram of another data reporting method, as shown in Figure 6, which includes the following steps:

[0185] S602: The UE performs a service data collection task and obtains service data.

[0186] S604: The UE sends a non-access stratum message to the DSMF. The non-access stratum message includes at least service data.

[0187] S606: DSMF sends service data to DPF.

[0188] In the above embodiment 3, the service data collected by the UE side is reported through the non-access stratum message path, and the eAMF is not passed through during the reporting to the DPF.

[0189] Example 4: Fourth reporting path, which is the NAS message path between the user equipment and eAMF.

[0190] Figure 7 illustrates the interaction diagram of another data reporting method, as shown in Figure 7, which includes the following steps:

[0191] S702: The UE performs a service data acquisition task and obtains service data.

[0192] S704: The UE sends a NAS message to the eAMF, and the NAS message includes at least service data.

[0193] S706: eAMF sends service data to DSMF.

[0194] S708: DSMF sends service data to DPF.

[0195] The data reporting path is illustrated through the four exemplary embodiments described above.

[0196] In one possible implementation, Figure 8 shows a flowchart of a data reporting method applied to a user equipment, as shown in Figure 8, which includes the following steps:

[0197] S802: Receives a service data collection task sent by the enhanced access and mobility management network element (eAMF). The service data collection task includes a data reporting path, which is selected by the data service management network element (DSMF) in response to a data service service request.

[0198] S804: Execute business data collection task to obtain business data.

[0199] S806: Report business data according to the data reporting path.

[0200] In one possible embodiment, when the data reporting path is the first reporting path, the user equipment can receive the data reporting channel establishment completion message corresponding to the first reporting path sent by the eAMF; the first reporting path is the path between the data plane network element DPF and the user equipment; and the service data is sent to the DPF according to the data reporting channel corresponding to the first reporting path.

[0201] In one possible embodiment, the data reporting path includes a second reporting path; the second reporting path includes: a first path between the user equipment and the user plane network element UPF and a second path between the UPF and the DPF; the UPF in the first path is the session management network element SMF selected by the eAMF based on the location information of the user equipment.
