Abstract
A method and 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.
Claims18
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;
- invoking, by the NWDAF device, an Namf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation to an AMF (Access Management Function) device;
- deriving, by the NWDAF device, UE communication analytics;
- and
- providing the UE communication analytics to the NF device,
- wherein the UE communication analytics includes at least one of a UE group ID or a UE ID, UE communications, a Periodic communication indicator, a Periodic time, a Start time, a Duration time, a Traffic characterization, a Traffic volume, a Confidence and a 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 Ratio is a proportion of UEs in the group for a given communication at a given time and duration, and
- wherein the Confidence is for the UE communication analytics and a value of the Confidence depends on a level expressed by a parameter “time when analytics information is needed”.
7 more elements
A system for providing UE (User Equipment) communication analysis, comprising:
- one or more processors in an NWDAF (Network Data Analytic Function) device configured to:
- receive an Nnwdaf_AnalyticsSubscription_Subscribe service operation from an NF (Network Function) device;
- invoke an Nsmf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation to an SMF (Session Management Function) device;
- invoke an Namf_EventExposure_Subscribe service operation to an AMF (Access Management Function) device;
- derive UE communication analytics;
- and
- provide the UE communication analytics to the NF device,
- wherein the UE communication analytics includes at least one of a UE group ID or a UE ID, UE communications, a Periodic communication indicator, a Periodic time, a Start time, a Duration time, a Traffic characterization, a Traffic volume, a Confidence and a 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 Ratio is a proportion of UEs in the group for a given communication at a given time and duration, and
- wherein the Confidence is for the UE communication analytics and a value of the Confidence depends on a level expressed by a parameter “time when analytics information is needed”.
