To facilitate understanding of embodiments of the present application, a communication system suitable for use in embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the monitoring system shown in fig. 2.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a monitoring system to which the PDU operation energy consumption management method according to an embodiment of the present application is applicable. As shown in fig. 2, the monitoring system includes: AF and M PDU clusters.

The AF may be the AF in 5GS described above, or may be any entity or device capable of implementing an application function in the future. The AF can provide management services for M-class products, M being an integer greater than 1. The M-class products are M-class different products, such as wired headphones, bluetooth headphones, and audio, and may be 3-class products, i.e., m=3.

A PDU is a multi-function power system, typically used to assist businesses and institutions in managing their information and communication technology equipment (ICT) power, with the ability to input, monitor and control various power devices. It is typically composed of components such as a Power Distributor (PDU), a Security Performance Switch (SPS), and a network-based monitoring function, which can help to improve the energy distribution efficiency of an enterprise data center. The PDU can be regarded as a terminal capable of communication with the AF at the application layer, i.e. independent of the 5G network.

Each of the M PDU clusters includes a plurality of PDUs. Each PDU cluster may be used to power a production line for a corresponding one of the M classes of products. The production line for each type of product is used to produce that type of product. Any two PDU clusters in the M PDU clusters respectively correspond to different product types, and the M PDU clusters correspond to M types of products. The production line may be a terminal or the production line may be provided with a terminal controlling the production line to access a 5G network, such as a public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN), via the terminal, thereby enabling low-latency and high-reliability remote control via the 5G network.

In the monitoring system, since each PDU cluster supplies power to the production line of the same product, the operation condition of each PDU cluster can indirectly reflect the operation condition of the production line of the PDU cluster. If the AF determines that a certain PDU cluster, such as the running condition of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal, the AF can monitor the production line corresponding to the PDU cluster through RAN equipment according to the running condition of the ith PDU cluster, so as to timely find out whether the production line has abnormal conditions or not, and avoid the paralysis of the production line caused by abnormal amplification.

It is convenient to understand that the PDU operation energy consumption management method provided in connection with the embodiment of the present application in fig. 3 will be specifically described below.

Exemplary, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a PDU operation energy consumption management method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the interaction of AF and PDU clusters as described above.

As shown in fig. 3, the flow of the PDU operation energy consumption management method is as follows:

s301, AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster in the M PDU clusters is abnormal by monitoring the operation condition of the M PDU clusters.

Each PDU cluster in the M PDU clusters is used for supplying energy to a production line of a corresponding product, the corresponding product types of any two PDU clusters in the M PDU clusters are different, the M PDU clusters correspond to the M product types, AF provides management service for the M product types, M is an integer greater than 1, and i is an integer from 1 to M.

Mode 1: the AF can determine that the energy consumption increment of the ith PDU cluster is larger than or equal to a first energy consumption threshold by monitoring the running condition of M PDU clusters within a preset time period. The preset duration can be dynamically set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset duration is a periodic time period, and the AF can be periodically monitored, for example, the preset duration is a time period dynamically configured by an administrator. The first energy consumption threshold may be an upper limit value of the increase, i.e. beyond which an abnormal situation may occur. The first energy consumption threshold may be dynamically configured according to practical experience, and the specific value is not limited. The AF can accumulate the increment of the energy consumption of each of the M PDU clusters by monitoring the running condition of the M PDU clusters within a preset time period, and whether the increment is increased to be larger than or equal to a first energy consumption threshold.

And under the condition that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is increased by a large amount to be larger than or equal to the first energy consumption threshold, the AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal by analyzing the energy consumption change of each PDU in the ith PDU cluster. For example, the ith PDU cluster includes N PDUs, where N is an integer greater than 1, and the AF may determine whether the number of PDUs having an increased energy consumption greater than or equal to the second energy consumption threshold among the N PDUs is less than or equal to the first preset number by analyzing respective energy consumption changes of the N PDUs; if the number of the PDUs with the energy consumption increased by a large amount which is larger than or equal to the second energy consumption threshold value in the N PDUs is smaller than or equal to the first preset number, the AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal, otherwise, the AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is normal. That is, since the ith PDU cluster corresponds to a production line of the same type of product, the production efficiency of different production lines for the same type of product is close, so that the energy consumption is also close, and under normal conditions, the situation that the energy consumption of some PDUs is too high does not occur, or the energy consumption of all PDUs in the ith PDU cluster is synchronously increased, or the energy consumption of all PDUs in the ith PDU cluster is synchronously reduced. Therefore, there is an excessive power consumption of a few PDUs, such as a first predetermined number of PDUs or less, indicating that an abnormality in the production line is likely.

The first preset number may be set according to the value of N, where the larger N is, the more the first preset number may be, for example, n=10, the first preset number is 3, for example, n=20, the first preset number is 5, and so on.

Mode 2: the AF can determine that the energy consumption reduction of the ith PDU cluster is smaller than or equal to a third energy consumption threshold by monitoring the running condition of M PDU clusters within a preset time period. The third energy consumption threshold may be an upper limit value of the reduction amount, i.e. beyond which an abnormal situation may occur. The third energy consumption threshold can be dynamically configured according to practical experience, and specific values are not limited. The AF can accumulate the reduction amount of the energy consumption of each of the M PDU clusters by monitoring the running condition of the M PDU clusters within a preset time period, and whether the reduction amount is increased to be greater than or equal to a third energy consumption threshold.

In the case that the energy consumption reduction amount of the ith PDU cluster is less than or equal to the third energy consumption threshold, the AF may determine that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal by analyzing the energy consumption change of each PDU in the ith PDU cluster.

For example, the ith PDU cluster also includes N PDUs, N being an integer greater than 1. AF determines whether the number of PDUs with the energy consumption reduction amount greater than or equal to the fourth energy consumption threshold value in the N PDUs is less than or equal to a second preset number by analyzing the energy consumption changes of the N PDUs. If the number of the PDUs with the energy consumption reduction amount larger than or equal to the fourth energy consumption threshold value in the N PDUs is smaller than or equal to the second preset number, the AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal, otherwise, the AF determines that the energy consumption of the ith PDU cluster is normal. That is, since the ith PDU cluster corresponds to a production line of the same type of product, the production efficiency of different production lines for the same type of product is close, so that the energy consumption is also close, and under normal conditions, the situation that the energy consumption of some PDUs is too low does not occur, or the energy consumption of all PDUs in the ith PDU cluster is synchronously increased, or the energy consumption of all PDUs in the ith PDU cluster is synchronously reduced. Therefore, there are few PDUs whose energy consumption is too low, e.g. less than or equal to the second preset number of PDUs, indicating that an abnormality in the production line is likely.

The second preset number may also be set according to the value of N, where the larger N is, the more the second preset number may be, for example, n=10, the second preset number is 2, for example, n=20, the second preset number is 7, and so on.

S302, AF monitors whether the production line of the ith product corresponding to the ith PDU cluster is abnormal or not through radio access network RAN equipment, wherein the RAN equipment is accessed by the production line of the ith product.

Continuing with mode 1 above:

Assume that: the PDUs with the energy consumption increased by a large amount which is larger than or equal to the second energy consumption threshold are P PDUs, and P is an integer which is larger than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to the first preset number. The AF can learn from the UDM network element or the PCF network element that the production line of the ith class of product corresponding to the P PDUs is accessed to the RAN equipment. For example, in the case where the AF signs up with the PLMN, the AF may acquire, from the UDM network element, the context of the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the P PDUs. The AF may determine the RAN device as the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the P PDUs according to the RAN device (e.g., including an identifier of the RAN device) indicated by the context of the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the P PDUs. Or alternatively; under the condition that the AF signs up with the PLMN, the AF can acquire the strategy of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDU from the PCF network element. The AF may determine the RAN device as the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the P PDUs according to the RAN device (e.g., including the identifier of the RAN device) indicated by the policy of the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the P PDUs.

Because the AF signs contract with the PLMN, the AF can request the RAN equipment to provide the uplink and downlink resource use condition of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDU within the preset duration. The use conditions of uplink and downlink resources of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDU within a preset time length are as follows: the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs communicates the number of downlink resource blocks (such as the number of downlink RBs or the number of REs) and the number of uplink resource blocks (such as the number of uplink RBs or the number of REs) used in a preset period. AF can determine whether the production line of the ith product corresponding to P PDU is abnormal or not according to the use condition of uplink and downlink resources of the production line of the ith product corresponding to P PDU within a preset time period. For example, if the number of downlink resource blocks used for communication in the preset duration by the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is smaller than or equal to the first downlink resource block number threshold, and the number of uplink resource blocks used for communication in the preset duration by the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is smaller than or equal to the first uplink resource block number threshold, the AF determines that the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is abnormal, otherwise, the AF determines that the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is normal. The first threshold value of the number of downlink resource blocks or the first threshold value of the number of uplink resource blocks is a lower limit value indicating sparse communication, that is, the number of interactions between two communication parties is smaller than that under normal conditions, that is, under the condition that the energy supply of the production line is increased, the production efficiency of the production line should be improved, more communication interactions with the 5G network exist, but the actual situation does have fewer communication interactions with the 5G network, so that the abnormal situation may occur in the production line is indicated.

Continuing with mode 2 above:

Assume that: the PDUs with the energy consumption reduction amount larger than or equal to the fourth energy consumption threshold are Q PDUs, and Q is an integer larger than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to a second preset number. The AF can learn from the UDM network element or the PCF network element that the production line of the ith class of product corresponding to the Q PDUs is accessed to the RAN equipment. For example, similar to the principle of the above-described mode 1, the AF may acquire, from the UDM network element, the context of the production line of the i-th class of products corresponding to Q PDUs; AF can determine the RAN equipment as the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDU according to the RAN equipment indicated by the context of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDU; or alternatively; AF can obtain the strategy of the production line of the i-th product corresponding to Q PDU from PCF network element; the AF can determine the RAN equipment as the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDUs according to the RAN equipment indicated by the strategy of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDUs.

Similar to the principle of the above mode 1, the AF may request the RAN device to provide uplink and downlink resource usage of the production line of the ith class of product corresponding to the Q PDUs within a preset duration. The use conditions of uplink and downlink resources of the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDUs within a preset time length are as follows: and the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDUs communicates the number of downlink resource blocks and the number of uplink resource blocks used in a preset time period. AF can confirm whether the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the Q PDU is abnormal or not according to the use condition of the uplink and downlink resources of the production line of the i-th product corresponding to the Q PDU within the preset time length. For example, if the number of downlink resource blocks used for communication in the preset duration by the production line of the ith product corresponding to the Q PDUs is greater than or equal to the second threshold of downlink resource blocks, and the number of uplink resource blocks used for communication in the preset duration by the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is greater than or equal to the threshold of uplink resource blocks, the AF determines that the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is abnormal, otherwise, the AF determines that the production line of the ith product corresponding to the P PDUs is normal. The second downlink resource block number threshold or the second uplink resource block number threshold is a lower limit value indicating that communication is busy, that is, the number of interactions between two parties of communication is larger than that in normal condition, that is, when the energy supply of the production line is reduced, the production efficiency of the production line should be reduced, and the interactions with the 5G network are reduced, but the actual situation is more than that with the 5G network, so that it is possible to indicate that the production line is abnormal.

To sum up: since each PDU cluster is configured to power a production line for the same type of product, the operation of each PDU cluster can indirectly reflect the operation of the production line by that PDU cluster. If the AF determines that a certain PDU cluster, such as the running condition of the ith PDU cluster is abnormal, the AF can monitor the production line corresponding to the PDU cluster through RAN equipment according to the running condition of the ith PDU cluster, so as to timely find out whether the production line has abnormal conditions or not, and avoid the paralysis of the production line caused by abnormal amplification.
