Abstract

Claims (49)

1. A user data disaster tolerance method, applied to a Unified Data Repository (UDR) network element, comprising:

after the UDR network element is restarted due to a fault, sending a first message to each Unified Data Management (UDM) network element in a UDM network element set;

wherein the first message is configured to notify a restart event of the UDR network element;

wherein prior to the sending the first message to each UDM network element in the UDM network element set, the method further comprises:

creating first subscription information for the UDM network element;

wherein the first subscription information represents that the corresponding UDM network element subscribes to the restart event of the UDR network element.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message carries at least one of:

a restart time of the UDR network element;

an impacted number range.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message is a POST message.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first subscription information at least comprises an identification of the corresponding UDM network element.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when creating the first subscription information for the UDM network element, the method comprises:

creating the first subscription information for the corresponding UDM network element based on a received first request or second request;

wherein the first request represents an access request for the UDR network element; and

wherein the second request represents a subscription request for the restart event of the UDR network element.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising at least one of the following:

obtaining a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) configured to receive a notification message in the UDM network element, by querying a Network Repository Function (NRF) network element; and,

obtaining a URI configured to receive a notification message in the UDM network element from the first request or the second request of the UDM network element.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

backing up the first subscription information corresponding to the UDM network element.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein subsequent to the sending the first message to each UDM network element in the UDM network element set, the method further comprises:

performing a data synchronization with at least one of the following: an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element; and, a Session Management Function (SMF) network element.

9. A user data disaster tolerance method, applied to a Unified Management (UDM) network element, comprising:

receiving a first message sent by a Unified Data Repository (UDR) network element to each Unified Data Management (UDM) network element in a UDM network element set;

wherein the first message is configured to notify a restart event of the UDR network element;

wherein prior to the receiving the first message sent by the UDR network element, the method further comprises:

sending a first request to the UDR network element;

wherein the first request represents an access request for the UDR network element; and

wherein the UDM subscribes to the restart event of the UDR network element.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first message carries at least one of the following:

a restart time of the UDR network element; and

an impacted number range.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first message is a POST message.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first request carries a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) configured to receive a notification message in the UDM network element.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein subsequent to the sending the first request to the UDR network element, the method further comprises:

sending a second request to the UDR network element;

wherein the second request represents a subscription request for the restart event of the UDR network element.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the second request carries a URI configured to receive a notification message in the UDM network element.

15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein subsequent to the receiving the first message sent by the UDR network element, the method further comprises:

sending the first message to at least one of the following:

an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element; and,

a Session Management Function (SMF) network element.

16. A Unified Data Repository (UDR) network element, comprising: a first processor and a first memory configured to store a computer program executable on the processor,

wherein the first processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform:

after the UDR network element is restarted due to a fault, sending a first message to each Unified Data Management (UDM) network element in a UDM network element set;

wherein the first message is configured to notify a restart event of the UDR network element;

wherein prior to the sending the first message to each UDM network element in the UDM network element set, the first processor is further configured to execute the computer program to perform:

creating first subscription information for the UDM network element;

wherein the first subscription information represents that the corresponding UDM network element subscribes to the restart event of the UDR network element.
