具体实施方式
下面详细描述本申请的实施例，实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，旨在用于解释本申请，而不能理解为对本申请的限制。需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如，在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下，第一信息也可以被称为第二信息，类似地，第二信息也可以被称为第一信息。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
为了便于理解，首先介绍本实施例涉及的术语。
1、人工智能数据采集应用功能(Artificial Intelligence Data Collection Application Function，AIDCAF)
在核心网设备中加入AIDCAF网元，AIDCAF网元可实现对所有AI网络功能的调用信息与分析数据结果的汇总，所有AI网络功能的调用信息与分析数据结果均发送至AIDCAF网元。
2、网络存储功能(Network Repository Function，NRF)
NRF网元可用于进行网络功能(Network Function，NF)登记、管理、状态检测，实现所有NF的自动化管理，每个NF启动时，必须要到NRF进行注册登记才能提供服务，登记信息包括NF类型、地 址、服务列表等。在本实施例中，当AI网络功能向核心网中注册时，通过认证授权流程后将新的AI NF信息存储在NRF网元中。
3、统一数据管理(Unified Data Management，UDM)
UDM提供了用户签约数据管理、用户鉴权数据管理、用户标识数据管理等功能。
下面各实施例中，AIDCAF网元、NRF网元和UDM网元可为核心网设备的网络功能模块。
当前网络中规、建、维、优各阶段已采用很多自动化手段提高运维效率，但网络总体自治水平还不高，有很大的提升空间。5G使用了软件定义网络(Software Defined Networking，SDN)和网络功能虚拟化(Network Function Virtualization，NFV)的架构，使得网络具备高度灵活性的同时也更加复杂。在对于诸如网络资源的分配和传输路径、优化算法设计方面考虑的因素更多，也需要更加智能化的手段。AI技术可助力网络实现更高水平自治的目标，实现降本增效。由于AI技术应用于5G网络的时机相对较晚，5G架构确定后才开展相关研究，5G阶段的网络智能化应用是在传统网络架构上进行优化和改造，总体属于外挂式应用。由于缺乏通用的AI工作流程和统一的技术框架，导致网络AI应用场景碎片化，烟囱式研发，网络AI功能只是在现有网络流程上的简单叠加，且跨域跨层智能化应用的协同困难。未来，考虑将AI作为独立的NF加入到5G核心网架构中，设计一套完整的获取AI服务的流程，与网络流程紧密耦合，以提供可靠、***地AI服务能力，实现以AI为基础的全新智能通信网络***。
目前，针对将AI作为独立的NF加入到5G核心网架构的需求，尚缺乏核心网中UE对AI网络功能(AI NF)的订阅和查询的处理方案，进而会影响用户的服务体验。
为此，本实施例提出了一种基于AI网络功能的处理方法及装置，提供了核心网中UE对AI网络功能的订阅和查询的处理方案，可使终端用户能够订阅和查询网络中的AI网络功能，按需服务，便于用户获取网络的最新AI网络能力，进而可获得更好的服务体验。
下面结合附图对本申请所提供的基于AI网络功能的处理方法及装置进行详细地介绍。
图1示出了根据本申请实施例的一种基于AI网络功能的处理方法的流程示意图。具体可为核心网中UE对AI网络功能的订阅处理方法，如图1所示，该方法应用于核心网设备，且可以包括以下步骤。
步骤101、核心网设备接收UE发送的AI网络功能发现服务的订阅请求，订阅请求中携带有SUPI。
在本实施例中，UE可向核心网设备订阅AI网络功能发现服务，发送的订阅请求中需要携带UE的SUPI，该SUPI可用于确定UE是否具备订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权信息，具体可执行步骤102所示的过程。
步骤102、核心网设备根据订阅请求中携带的SUPI，对UE是否具备订阅AI网络功能发现服务进行鉴权。
步骤103、核心网设备根据鉴权结果向UE返回订阅请求处理的响应信息。
如果经过鉴权确定UE具备订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权信息，可向UE返回订阅成功信息，并在后续向该UE发送其订阅的AI网络功能服务信息。而如果经过鉴权确定UE不具备订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权信息，可向UE返回订阅失败信息。
通过应用本实施例提供的基于AI网络功能的处理方法，提供了核心网中UE对AI网络功能的订阅的处理方案，可使终端用户能够订阅网络中的AI网络功能，按需服务，便于用户获取网络的最新AI网络能力，进而可获得更好的服务体验。
图2示出了根据本申请实施例的一种基于AI网络功能的处理方法的流程示意图。该方法应用于核心网设备，在核心网设备侧，核心网设备可包括：第一网元，该第一网元可用于处理AI网络功能发现服务的订阅请求，为了说明本实施例的具体实现过程，基于图1所示实施例，以第一网元是AIDCAF网元作为示例(需要说明的是，本实施例不对第一网元的名称做具体限定，仅是示例性的说明)，如图2所示，该方法可以包括以下步骤。
步骤201、AIDCAF网元接收UE发送的AI网络功能发现服务的订阅请求，订阅请求中携带有SUPI。
在本实施例中，核心网设备具体可包括：AIDCAF网元、NRF网元和UDM网元，这些网元可为核心网设备的网络功能模块。
如果UE需要向核心网设备订阅AI网络功能发现服务，可将AI网络功能发现服务的订阅请求发送给AIDCAF网元，订阅请求中可携带有UE的SUPI。
步骤202、AIDCAF网元向NRF网元调用包含SUPI的订阅服务操作，NRF网元将SUPI发送给UDM网元，以使得UDM网元根据SUPI确定UE是否具备订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权信息，并在确定UE具备该授权信息时将该授权信息返回给NRF网元。
例如，AIDCAF网元接收UE的订阅请求后，向NRF网元调用Nnrf_NFManagement_NFStatusSubscribe服务操作，即调用包含订阅请求中的SUPI的订阅服务操作，NRF网元向UDM网元发送订阅请求信息中的SUPI，UDM网元确认UE是否拥有从网络获取订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权，然后在确定UE具备该授权信息时将授权信息返回给NRF网元。
步骤203a、若AIDCAF网元接收到NRF网元根据授权信息返回的订阅成功信息，则AIDCAF网元向UE返回订阅成功信息。
如果核心网设备对UE的该功能授权，UDM网元会确认UE拥有从网络获取订阅AI网络功能发现服务的授权，并将授权信息返回给NRF网元，NRF网元根据该授权信息会向AIDCAF网元返回订阅成功通知，AIDCAF网元将消息传回给UE，进而AI网络功能发现服务订阅成功。
可选的，在AIDCAF网元向UE返回订阅成功信息之后，本实施例方法还可包括：AIDCAF网元将NRF网元中的UE所订阅的AI网络功能服务信息发送给UE。
例如，在AI网络功能发现服务成功订阅后，当NRF网元中有符合UE订阅的操作时，向AIDCAF网元发送Nnrf_NFManagement_NFStatusNotify，AIDCAF网元将所订阅的AI网络功能服务信息发送并通知给UE。UE可被动接收到其所订阅的AI网络功能服务信息。
为了实现有指向的订阅，可选的，步骤201中AIDCAF网元接收到的订阅请求中还可携带有UE需要订阅的AI网络功能的类型信息(AI NF Type)、UE需要订阅的AI网络功能的服务标识信息(AI NF Service name)、UE的PLMN ID等中的至少一种。
相应的，AIDCAF网元将NRF网元中的UE所订阅的AI网络功能服务信息发送给UE，具体可包括：AIDCAF网元将NRF网元中与类型信息(AI NF Type)、和/或服务标识信息(AI NF Service name)、 和/或PLMN ID对应的AI网络功能服务信息发送给UE。通过这种可选方式，可实现UE有指向性的订阅AI网络功能服务信息。
有新注册的AI网络功能(AI NF)，AI NF更新其在NRF网元中的配置信息、或有AI NF注销其在NRF中的注册，NRF网元会将相应的更新信息通知AIDCAF网元，相应的，上述AIDCAF网元将NRF网元中与类型信息(AI NF Type)、和/或服务标识信息(AI NF Service name)、和/或PLMN ID对应的AI网络功能服务信息发送给UE，包括：当NRF网元中与类型信息(AI NF Type)、和/或所述服务标识信息(AI NF Service name)、和/或PLMN ID对应的AI网络功能服务信息存在更新时，NRF网元将相应的更新信息发送给AIDCAF网元，AIDCAF网元再将更新信息发送给UE。
例如，在AI网络功能发现服务成功订阅后，当UE订阅的AI网络功能发现服务有创建、更新、注销等操作时，NRF网元会将相应的更新信息发送给AIDCAF网元，AIDCAF网元再将更新信息发送给UE，使得UE及时获取到相应的更新信息。
进一步可选的，为了满足更多的使用需求，在AI网络功能发现服务成功订阅后，如果UE侧的终端用户想要取消订阅，还可发起取消订阅AI网络功能发现服务的请求，相应的，在AIDCAF网元向UE返回订阅成功信息之后，本实施例方法还可包括：AIDCAF网元接收UE发送的AI网络功能发现服务的取消订阅请求，取消订阅请求中可携带有UE的SUPI；AIDCAF网元会向NRF网元调用包含该SUPI的取消订阅服务操作；最后AIDCAF网元根据NRF网元返回的取消订阅成功信息，向UE返回取消订阅成功信息，进而完成取消订阅的流程操作。
例如，当UE需要取消订阅AI网络功能发现服务时，将取消订阅请求发送至AIDCAF网元，AIDCAF网元收到UE的订阅请求信息后，向NRF网元调用Nnrf_NFManagement_NFStatusUnSubscribe服务操作，即包含UE的SUPI的取消订阅服务操作，NRF网元根据该SUPI完成该UE的取消订阅请求后，向AIDCAF网元响应，再由AIDCAF网元返回UE取消订阅成功信息。
与步骤203a并列的步骤203b、若AIDCAF网元接收到NRF网元返回的订阅失败信息，则AIDCAF网元向UE返回订阅失败信息。
