Description

BACKGROUND

The 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication technology adds a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) in a core network; data may be collected from network elements of the core network, network management systems and the like for big data statistics, analysis or intelligent data analysis, so as to obtain analysis or prediction data of a network side. Therefore, the network elements are assisted to more effectively control access of a terminal device according to data analysis results.

However, due to the sensitivity of the data on the terminal device side, problems such as data privacy need to be taken into consideration. NWDAF does not take the possibility of big data analysis and intelligent data analysis by terminal devices into consideration during data analysis, and only relies on the data collected from the network side for analysis and prediction of network conditions and terminal device behaviors. Since the data for analysis is insufficient, the accuracy of analysis results is relatively low accordingly.

Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include a plurality of access network devices, and the coverage of each access network device may include other numbers of terminal devices. The embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

By using the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the communication device may include a network device 120 having a communication function and a terminal device 110.

It is to be understood that, terms “system” and “network” in the disclosure may usually be exchanged in the disclosure. The term “and/or” in the disclosure is merely an association relationship describing related objects, which means that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B may indicate three cases: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

That is to say, the terminal device can provide, to an opposite-end device, the analysis result of the first data analysis that is obtained through big data statistics, analysis or intelligent data analysis locally performed by the terminal device. By making full use of abundant data resources on a terminal device side, not only can data sharing on the terminal device side be realized, but also, the accuracy of an analysis result can be improved, and the problem of a privacy leak caused by the sharing of original data of the terminal device can be prevented. Moreover, the computation capacity, the storage capacity and the battery capacity of the terminal device are improved, such that the terminal device can also locally perform intelligent data analysis, thus a working load of a core network device (for example, an NWDAF) can be reduced, and the processing efficiency of the core network device can be improved.

The data analysis identifier capable of being provided by the terminal device may include the first data analysis identifier.

In other words, the terminal device may send the analysis result of the first data analysis to the AMF by means of the NAS message, such that the AMF then sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the network device by means of the control plane message.

For another example, assuming that the request device is another terminal device, another terminal device may send the first request message to the terminal device by means of the user plane message, and obtain, by means of the user plane message, the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 500 according to an embodiment of this application.

As shown in FIG. 5, the method 500 may include part of all of the following content.

At S510, a terminal device sends registration information to a data analysis and management function.

For example, the terminal device registers a data analysis identifier (Analytic Id) supportable by itself to the data analysis and management function of a core network. That is to say, the registration information may include the data analysis identifier capable of being provided by the terminal device or supportable by the terminal device. Optionally, the registration information may further include the information of the terminal device, for example, a SUPI, an MSISDN, a GPSI, an IP address, or a near field communication identifier.

At S520, a request device sends a query message to the data analysis and management function.

At S530, the data analysis and management function sends a response message of the query message to the request device.

For example, when the request device needs to request the analysis result of the data analysis of the terminal device, the request device may determine a first data analysis identifier and the information of the terminal device by means of the response message of the query message. For example, the first data analysis identifier is sent to the data analysis and management function, so as to obtain the information of the terminal device that supports the first data analysis identifier. For another example, the information of the terminal device is sent to the data analysis and management function, so as to obtain the first data analysis identifier that is supported by the terminal device. For another example, a combination of the information of the terminal device and the first data analysis identifier is sent to the data analysis and management function, so as to obtain a result of determining whether the terminal device supports the first data analysis identifier.

At S540, the request device sends a first request message to the terminal device. The first request message is used for requesting, from a terminal device, a first data analysis corresponding to a first data analysis identifier.

At S550, the terminal device sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the request device.

For example, assuming that the request device is the network device, the network device sends, based on the information of the terminal device, the first request message to the terminal device and receives the analysis result of the first data analysis. In an implementation, the information of the terminal device obtained by the network device is the routing information of the terminal device, for example, an IP address information. The network device may directly send the first request message to the terminal device by means of a user plane message, and obtains, by means of the user plane message, the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device. In another implementation, the information of the terminal device obtained by the network device is an identifier of the terminal device such as SUPI and MSISDN. Then, the network device may first send the first request message to the AMF of the terminal device by means of the control plane message, such that the AMF then sends the first request message to the terminal device by means of the NAS message. In other words, the terminal device may send the analysis result of the first data analysis to the AMF by means of the NAS message, such that the AMF then sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the network device by means of the control plane message.

For another example, assuming that the request device is another terminal device, another terminal device may send the first request message to the terminal device by means of the user plane message, and obtain, by means of the user plane message, the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device. Alternatively, another terminal device may also send the first request message to the terminal device by means of a near field communication mode and acquire the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device.

It is to be noted that, S510 to S530 may be optional steps. That is to say, the request device may directly send the first request message to the terminal device, and then receives the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device. Definitely, the data analysis and management function and the request device may also be the same network element or the same device.

It should be understood that, for steps and related content in the method 500, refer to the corresponding steps and related content in the methods 200 to 400. For simplicity, elaborations are omitted herein, for example, related descriptions such as the first data analysis, the first data identifier, the request device and the data analysis and management function.

At S610, a terminal device sends registration information to a data analysis and management function.

For example, the terminal device registers a data analysis identifier (Analytic Id) supportable by itself to the data analysis and management function of a core network. That is to say, the registration information may include the data analysis identifier capable of being provided by the terminal device or supportable by the terminal device. Optionally, the registration information may further include the information of the terminal device, for example, a SUPI, an MSISDN, a GPSI, an IP address, or a near field communication identifier.

At S620, a request device sends a second request message to the data analysis and management function.

At S630, the data analysis and management function sends a first request message to the terminal device. The first request message is used for requesting, from a terminal device, a first data analysis corresponding to a first data analysis identifier.

At S640, the terminal device sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the data analysis and management function.

In other words, the data analysis and management function determines the first request message based on the received second request message, then sends the first request message to the terminal device, and receives the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device.

Or, when the request device needs to request the analysis result of the data analysis of the terminal device, the second request message is sent to the data analysis and management function. The data analysis and management function determines the first data analysis identifier and the information of the terminal device, and sends, based on the information of the terminal device, the first request message that is used for requesting the analysis result of the data analysis corresponding to the first data analysis identifier to the terminal device. That is to say, the data analysis and management function requests, from the terminal device, the analysis result of the data analysis corresponding to the first data analysis identifier instead of the request device.

For example, the request device sends the first data analysis identifier to the data analysis and management function; and then the data analysis and management function determines the terminal device corresponding to the first data analysis identifier and sends the first data analysis identifier to the terminal device corresponding to the first data analysis identifier. For another example, the request device sends the information of the terminal device to the data analysis and management function; and then the data analysis and management function determines the first data analysis identifier, that is, the data analysis identifier capable of being provided by the terminal device. Then, the data analysis and management function requests, from the terminal device, the data analysis capable of being provided by the terminal device. For another example, the request device sends the information of the terminal device and at least one data analysis identifier to the data analysis and management function. The data analysis and management function determines a first data analysis identifier among the at least one data analysis identifier, that is, the data analysis identifier supportable by the terminal device. Then, the data analysis and management function requests, from the terminal device, the data analysis identifier supportable by the terminal device.

For example, the data analysis and management function sends, based on the information of the terminal device, the first request message to the terminal device and receives the analysis result of the first data analysis. In an implementation, the information of the terminal device obtained by the data analysis and management function is the routing information of the terminal device, for example, an IP address information. The data analysis and management function may directly send the first request message to the terminal device by means of a user plane message, and obtains, by means of the user plane message, the analysis result of the first data analysis sent by the terminal device. In another implementation, the information of the terminal device obtained by the data analysis and management function is an identifier of the terminal device such as SUPI and MSISDN. Then, the data analysis and management function may first send the first request message to the AMF of the terminal device by means of the control plane message, such that the AMF then sends the first request message to the terminal device by means of the NAS message. In other words, the terminal device may send the analysis result of the first data analysis to the AMF by means of the NAS message, such that the AMF then sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the data analysis and management function by means of the control plane message.

At S650, the data analysis and management function sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the request device.

It should be understood that, for steps and related content in the method 600, refer to the corresponding steps and related content in the methods 200 to 400. For simplicity, elaborations are omitted herein, for example, related descriptions such as the first data analysis, the first data identifier, the request device and the data analysis and management function.

FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 700 according to an embodiment of this application.

As shown in FIG. 7, the method 700 may include part of all of the following content.

At S710, a first terminal device sends a broadcast message to a second terminal device.

At S720, the second terminal device sends a first request message to the first terminal device. The first request message is used for requesting, from a terminal device, a first data analysis corresponding to a first data analysis identifier.

At S730, the first terminal device sends the analysis result of the first data analysis to the second terminal device.

For example, the first terminal device and the second terminal device support a near field communication. The first terminal device broadcasts a data analysis identifier that is supported by itself. The second terminal device determines, according to the received broadcast, the data analysis identifier that is supported by the first terminal device. When the second terminal device needs to request the analysis result of the data analysis of the first terminal device, the second terminal device sends, by means of a near field communication mode, the first request message including the first data analysis identifier to the first terminal device, and obtains the analysis result of the corresponding data analysis. The near field communication mode includes, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth technology and a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology.

It should be understood that, for steps and related content in the method 700, refer to the corresponding steps and related content in the methods 200 to 400. For simplicity, elaborations are omitted herein, for example, related descriptions such as the first data analysis and the first data identifier.
