Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for providing a big data analysis service, and a computer readable storage medium. The method for providing a big data analysis service includes: generating, by network data analytics, big data information according to network operation and maintenance data, and sending the big data information to an application through a network exposure function.

Claims (37)

1. A method for providing a big data analysis service, comprising:

generating, by network data analytics, big data information according to network operation and maintenance data, wherein an interface is arranged between the network data analytics and a network exposure function, and the network data analytics is configured to send the big data information to the network exposure function through the interface; and

sending, by the network data analytics, the big data information to an application through the network exposure function,

wherein the network data analytics and the network exposure function are network service units defined by third generation partnership project (3GPP).

2. The method for a big data analysis service of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the network data analytics, a big data traffic subscription request or a cancellation subscription request which is forwarded by the network exposure function from the application, and recording or updating big data traffic subscribed to by the application according to information about the big data traffic carried in the big data traffic subscription request or the cancellation subscription request.

3. The method for providing a big data analysis service of claim 1 , before the generating, by the network data analytics, the big data information according to the network operation and maintenance data, further comprising:

acquiring, by the network data analytics, the network operation and maintenance data from the network exposure function, or acquiring, by the network data analytics, the network operation and maintenance data from a plurality of network functions.

4. The method for providing a big data analysis service of claim 1 , wherein sending the big data information to the application through the network exposure function by the network data analytics comprises:

determining, by the network data analytics, that the big data information matches with big data traffic subscribed to by the application, and sending the big data information to the application through the network exposure function; or

receiving, by the network data analytics, a query request sent by the application through the network exposure function, and sending the big data information requested to be queried by the application to the application through the network exposure function.

5. The method for providing a big data analysis service of claim 1 , wherein the big data information comprises at least one of: cell-level information, subscriber-level information, session-level information or a subscriber mobility rule.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing at least one program, wherein the at least one program is executable by at least one processor for implementing the method for providing a big data analysis service of claim 1 .

7. An apparatus for providing a big data analysis service, disposed on a network data analytics, wherein the apparatus comprises a processor and a memory;

wherein the memory stores processor-executable programs, and the processor-executable programs comprise:

a big data information management unit, which is configured to generate big data information according to network operation and maintenance data, wherein an interface is arranged between the network data analytics and a network exposure function, and the network data analytics is configured to send the big data information to the network exposure function through the interface; and

a sending unit, which is configured to send the big data information to an application through the network exposure function; and

wherein the network data analytics and the network exposure function are network service units defined by third generation partnership project (3GPP).

8. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 7 , further comprising: a subscription management unit;

wherein the subscription management unit is configured to receive a big data traffic subscription request or a cancellation subscription request which is forwarded by the network exposure function from the application, and record or update big data traffic subscribed to by the application according to information about the big data traffic carried in the big data traffic subscription request or the cancellation subscription request.

9. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 7 , wherein the big data information management unit is further configured to acquire the network operation and maintenance data from the network exposure function, or acquire the network operation and maintenance data from a plurality of network functions.

10. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 7 , wherein the sending unit is configured to send the big data information to the application through the network exposure function by:

receiving a query request sent by the application through the network exposure function, and sending the big data information requested to be queried by the application to the application through the network exposure function; or

determining that the big data information matches with big data traffic subscribed to by the application, and sending the big data information to the application through the network exposure function.

11. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 7 , wherein the big data information comprises at least one of: cell-level information, subscriber-level information, session-level information or a subscriber mobility rule.

12. An apparatus for providing a big data analysis service, disposed on a network exposure function, wherein the apparatus comprises a processor and a memory;

wherein the memory stores processor-executable programs, and the processor-executable programs comprise:

a receiving unit, which is configured to receive big data information generated by network data analytics according to network operation and maintenance data, wherein an interface is arranged between the network data analytics and the network exposure function, and the network data analytics is configured to send the big data information to the network exposure function through the interface; and

a sending unit, which is configured to send the big data information to an application; and

wherein the network data analytics and the network exposure function are network service units defined by third generation partnership project (3GPP).

13. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 12 , further comprising: a subscription management unit; wherein:

the subscription management unit is configured to receive a big data traffic subscription request or a cancellation subscription request from the application, and send the big data traffic subscription request or the cancellation subscription request to the network data analytics, wherein the big data traffic subscription request or the cancellation subscription request carries information about big data traffic.

14. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 13 , wherein the subscription management unit is further configured to: after receiving the cancellation subscription request from the application, in response to determining that no other application subscribes to the big data traffic requested to be cancelled in the cancellation subscription request, carry a big data traffic cancellation indication in the cancellation subscription request sent to the network data analytics to instruct the network data analytics to uninstall a corresponding traffic analysis module.

15. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 12 , further comprising: a query unit;

wherein the query unit is configured to receive a query request sent by the application, and forward the query request to the network data analytics, wherein the query request carries big data traffic information requested to be queried by the application.

16. The apparatus for providing a big data analysis service of claim 12 , further comprising: a charging unit;

wherein the charging unit is configured to perform charging when the sending unit sends the big data information to the application.
