Abstract
A method and a system for providing communication analysis of the user equipment (UE) based on network analysis is disclosed. The method provides communication analysis of the UE in a form as UE communication statistics or UE communication prediction by analyzing network data collected from the network function (NF) device.
Claims14
A method for providing UE(User Equipment) communication analysis, comprising:
- receiving, by an NWDAF (Network Data Analytic Function) device, an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe service operation from an NF (Network Function) device;
- invoking, by the NWDAF device, an Nsmf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation to an SMF (Session Management Function) device;
- receiving, by the NWDAF device, an Nsmf_EventExposure_Notify service operation from the SMF device;
- invoking, by the NWDAF device, an Namf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation to an AMF (Access Management Function) device;
- receiving, by the NWDAF device, an Namf_EventExposure_Notify service operation from the AMF device;
- deriving, by the NWDAF device, UE communication analytics in a form as UE communication statistics or a UE communication prediction;
- and
- providing the UE communication analytics to the NF device using an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsInfo_Request response service operation or an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Notify service operation,
- wherein the UE communication statistics include a UE group ID or UE ID, UE communications, a Periodic communication indicator, a Periodic time, a Start time, a Duration time, a Traffic characterization, a Traffic volume and a Ratio,
- wherein the UE communication prediction includes the UE group ID or UE ID, the UE communications, the Periodic communication indicator, the Periodic time, the Start time, the Duration time, the Traffic characterization, the Traffic volume, a Confidence and the Ratio,
- wherein the UE group ID or UE ID is information for identifying the UE or a group of a plurality of UEs,
- wherein the UE communications is a list of communication time slots,
- wherein the Periodic communication indicator is information for identifying whether the UE communicates periodically or not,
- wherein the Periodic time is an interval time of periodic communication,
- wherein the Start time is an observed start time and the Duration time is a duration interval time of communication,
- wherein the Traffic characterization includes S-NSSAL, DNN or ports,
- wherein the Traffic volume is a volume of downlink or uplink,
- wherein the Ratio is a percentage of UEs in the group in a case of the group of the plurality of UEs, and
- wherein the Confidence is for the UE communication prediction.
