Abstract

Provided in the embodiments of the present application are a method and device for monitoring network data. The method comprises: a NWDAF determines a terminal UE to be monitored that requires network data analysis and the type of data analysis for the UE to be monitored; the NWDAF determines a provider network function network element and a monitoring event which correspond to the UE to be monitored according to the type of data analysis for the UE to be monitored, the provider network function network element being used to provide source data for the UE to be monitored which is related to the data analysis type, and the monitoring event being used to indicate to the provider network function network element to monitor the source data; and the NWDAF sends the monitoring event to the provider network function network element.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method for monitoring network data, comprising:

determining, by a network data analytics function (NWDAF), a user equipment (UE) to be monitored for which network data analytics is required, and a type of data analytics for the UE to be monitored;
determining, by the NWDAF, a network function and a monitoring event for the UE according to the type of data analytics, wherein the network function provides data, corresponding to the type of data analytics, of the UE to be monitored, and the monitoring event indicates the network function to monitor the data;
and
transmitting, by the NWDAF, the monitoring event to the network function, wherein after transmitting, by the NWDAF, the monitoring event to the network function, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the NWDAF, the data, reported by the network function according to the monitoring event and corresponding to the type of data analytics, of the UE to be monitored;
and
analyzing, by the NWDAF, the received data to generate a result of data analytics, conforming to the type of data analytics, for the UE to be monitored.
