Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used to distinguish the same item or similar items having substantially the same function and effect, and those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first", "second", and the like are not limited in number and execution order.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having" in the embodiments and claims of the present application and in the drawings are not exclusive. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or modules is not limited to only those steps or modules but may include other steps or modules not listed.

As described in the background. When the MEP provides network services (such as bandwidth resources) for the APP, the MEP generally allocates network resources according to a set allocation policy after receiving the network resources sent by the base station. However, when the set allocation policy is unreasonable, network resources obtained by the APP may not meet the requirement of the APP on the wireless network service quality.

In view of the foregoing technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a data processing method, where a data processing device may receive resource configuration information for indicating network resources provided when a base station accesses an edge APP for at least one terminal, and obtain resource requirement information for indicating network resource requirements when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP. When the resource allocation information cannot meet the resource demand information, the data processing device can update the network resource allocation of the base station, so that the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal can meet the resource demand information.

In this way, the data processing device can update the network resource configuration of the base station by sensing the resource demand information of different terminals and monitoring the network resources provided by the base station, so that the base station can reasonably provide the network resources for the terminals, the network resource demands of different terminals are met, and the utilization rate of the network resources is improved.

The data processing method is suitable for a data processing system. FIG. 1A illustrates one configuration of the data processing system 100. As shown in fig. 1A, the data processing system 100 includes: a terminal 101, a base station 102, a MEC103 and data processing means 104.

Wherein the terminal 101 may be communicatively coupled to the base station 102 and the MEC103, respectively. The base station 102 may be communicatively coupled to the terminals 101, the MEC103 and the data processing apparatus 104, respectively. The MEC103 may be communicatively coupled with the terminal 101, the base station 102, and the data processing device 104, respectively. The data processing means 104 may be communicatively coupled to the base station 102 and the MEC103, respectively.

Alternatively, the data processing device 104 may be a functional module for performing data processing inside the base station 102, or may be disposed independently of the base station 102, which is not specifically limited in this application.

Illustratively, when the data processing apparatus 104 is a functional module for performing data processing inside the base station 102, the data processing apparatus 104 may be a radio access network intelligent controller (Ran Intelligent Controller, RIC) inside the base station 102.

The RIC realizes the configuration of the base station according to xAPP through a link between the RIC and the base station. The xAPP is an APP independently deployed by a third party, wherein an artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence, AI) inference model and a strategy are deployed in the xAPP, and different xAPPs are functionally associated with different radio access networks (radio access network, RAN), so that functional components of the RAN have flexible programmability and expandability. RIC supports E2 termination services, conflict resolution services, database services, message subscription management services, xAPP management services, and message middleware services.

For ease of understanding, the present application will mainly be described with reference to the base station 102 and the data processing apparatus 104 being separately provided.

It will be readily appreciated that when the data processing apparatus 104 is a functional module within the base station 102, the manner of communication between the base station 102 and the data processing apparatus 104 is communication between modules within the base station. In this case, the communication flow therebetween is the same as "in the case where the base station 102 and the data processing apparatus 104 are independent of each other".

Alternatively, when the data processing device 104 is an RIC inside the base station 102, the RIC may be communicatively connected to a Centralized Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU) of the base station 102 through an E2 interface, respectively.

In practice, the base station 102 may be communicatively connected to a plurality of terminals. Fig. 1A illustrates an example in which a base station 102 is communicatively connected to one terminal 101.

When the data processing device 104 is provided independently of the base station 102, the number processing device 104 may be a server for processing acquired data.

The server may be a single server, or may be a server cluster formed by a plurality of servers. In some implementations, the server cluster may also be a distributed cluster. The present disclosure is not limited to a specific implementation of the server.

Alternatively, the terminal 101 in FIG. 1A may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The wireless terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (radio access network, RAN). The wireless terminals may be mobile terminals such as mobile telephones (or "cellular" telephones) and computers with mobile terminals, as well as portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or car-mounted mobile devices which exchange voice and/or data with radio access networks, e.g. cell phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, netbooks, personal digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA).

Alternatively, the base station 102 in fig. 1A may be a base station for wireless communication or the like. In the embodiment of the present application, the base station may be a base station (base transceiver station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (global system for mobile communication, GSM), a base station (base transceiver station, BTS) in a code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA), a base station (node B) in a wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA), a base station (eNB) in an internet of things (internet of things, ioT) or a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), a base station in a future 5G mobile communication network or a future evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN), which is not limited in any way by the embodiment of the present application.

The MEC103 in fig. 1A deploys the functions of application and content, as well as mobile broadband (MBB) core network portion service processing and resource scheduling, to the network edge near the access side, providing a reliable and elegant service experience through service near the user processing, and collaboration of the application, content and network. For example, the core network function is deployed close to the user, so that extremely low-latency experience can be realized, such as providing 1ms end-to-end latency based on MEC to support services such as autopilot.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1B in conjunction with FIG. 1A, MEC data plane modules (multi-Access edge computing data plane, MEC DP) and MEPs may be deployed on MEC 103.

The MEC DP may be connected to the DU communication of the base station 102 through an N3 interface. MEP may be communicatively coupled to MEC DP via an N6 interface. The data processing device 104 may be communicatively coupled to the MEP via an A1 interface.

In practical applications, referring to fig. 1b, the MEP may be in communication connection with the terminal 101 through the MP1 interface by performing communication connection between the APP Server (application Server, APP Server) and the MEP through the MP1 interface, and performing communication connection between the APP Client (application Client, APPClient) and the terminal 101, and then performing communication connection between the APP Server and the APP Client, so as to implement communication connection between the MEP and the terminal 101 through the MP1 interface.

Alternatively, when the data processing device 104 is a RIC within the base station 102, the RIC may also be communicatively coupled to the MEP via an A1 interface.

The MEC DP is responsible for providing a data forwarding path between the radio access network and the core network, and implementing local offloading of data traffic. MEC DP has parsing processing capability for N3 general packet radio service tunneling protocol (general packet radio service tunneling protocol, GTP) data flows. For example, MEC DP resolves the destination internet protocol (internet protocol, IP) address of a GTP packet data packet from a base station, and routes the IP packet to an internal private network if it is local traffic. Therefore, the public network traffic and the private network traffic can be separated through the MEC DP, so that the safety of private network data is ensured.

MEPs may incorporate load balancers. Through cooperation of MEP and MEC DP, the traffic of the specific third party user can be distributed to the corresponding edge APP.

The basic hardware architecture of the terminal 101, base station 102, MEC103 and data processing device 104 in the data processing system 100 is similar and includes the elements included in the communication device shown in fig. 2A or fig. 2B. The hardware configuration of the terminal 101, the base station 102, the MEC103, and the data processing apparatus 104 will be described below taking the communication apparatus shown in fig. 2A and 2B as an example.

Fig. 2A is a schematic hardware structure of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present application. The communication device comprises a processor 21, a memory 22, a communication interface 23, a bus 24. The processor 21, the memory 22 and the communication interface 23 may be connected by a bus 24.

The processor 21 is a control center of the communication device, and may be one processor or a collective term of a plurality of processing elements. For example, the processor 21 may be a general-purpose central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), or may be another general-purpose processor. Wherein the general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor or the like.

As one example, processor 21 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 shown in fig. 2A.

Memory 22 may be, but is not limited to, a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device that can store static information and instructions, a random access memory (random accessme mory, RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device that can store information and instructions, or an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer.

In a possible implementation, the memory 22 may exist separately from the processor 21, and the memory 22 may be connected to the processor 21 by a bus 24 for storing instructions or program code. The processor 21, when calling and executing instructions or program code stored in the memory 22, is capable of implementing the data processing method provided in the embodiments described below.

In the embodiment of the present application, the software programs stored in the memory 22 are different for the terminal 101, the base station 102, and the MEC103, and the data processing apparatus 104, so the functions implemented by the terminal 101, the base station 102, and the MEC103, and the data processing apparatus 104 are different. The functions performed with respect to the respective devices will be described in connection with the following flowcharts.

In another possible implementation, the memory 22 may also be integrated with the processor 21.

A communication interface 23 for connecting the communication device with other devices via a communication network, which may be an ethernet, a radio access network (radio access network, RAN), a wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN), etc. The communication interface 23 may include a receiving unit for receiving data and a scheduling unit for transmitting data.

Bus 24 may be an industry standard architecture (industry standard architecture, ISA) bus, an external device interconnect (peripheral component interconnect, PCI) bus, or an extended industry standard architecture (extended industry standard architecture, EISA) bus, among others. The bus may be classified as an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc. For ease of illustration, only one thick line is shown in FIG. 2A, but not only one bus or one type of bus.

It should be noted that the structure shown in fig. 2A does not constitute a limitation of the communication device, and the communication device may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 2A, or may combine some components, or may be arranged in different components.

Fig. 2B shows another hardware structure of the communication device in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2B, the communication device may include a processor 31 and a communication interface 32. The processor 31 is coupled to a communication interface 32.

The function of the processor 31 may be as described above with reference to the processor 21. The processor 31 also has a memory function and can function as the memory 22.

The communication interface 32 is used to provide data to the processor 31. The communication interface 32 may be an internal interface of the communication device or an external interface of the communication device (corresponding to the communication interface 23).

It should be noted that the structure shown in fig. 2A (or fig. 2B) does not constitute a limitation of the communication apparatus, and the communication apparatus may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 2A (or fig. 2B), or may combine some components, or may be arranged in different components.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the application is applied to the data processing system shown in fig. 1A, and the data processing method is applied to a data processing device, wherein the data processing device belongs to a terminal, a base station and an MEC, and the data processing system is formed by the data processing devices. The data processing method comprises the following steps: S301-S303.

S301, the data processing device receives resource configuration information from the base station.

The resource configuration information is used for indicating network resources provided when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal.

Specifically, since a plurality of MEPs are deployed on the MEC, each MEP corresponds to one edge APP. Thus, at least one terminal may send an access request message to the base station when accessing the edge APP through the base station. After receiving the access request message, the base station provides network resources for at least one terminal so that the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP, and sends resource configuration information to the data processing device. Accordingly, the data processing apparatus receives resource configuration information from the base station.

Alternatively, the base station may send the resource configuration information to the data processing apparatus through the E2 interface. Correspondingly, the data processing device receives the resource configuration information from the base station through the E2 interface.

Alternatively, the data processing apparatus may be preconfigured with a memory module for storing resource configuration information from the base station.

Optionally, the network resource provided by the base station when accessing the edge APP for at least one terminal may include at least one of bandwidth management information of the wireless network, wireless channel quality, and ID and load information of a cell in which the terminal is located.

Optionally, the network resources provided by the base station when accessing the edge APP for at least one terminal may also include terminal information. The terminal information includes: information such as identity information of the terminal and position information of the terminal.

When the data processing apparatus is a RIC, the RIC is an internal functional module of the base station. At this time, a connection may be established between a near-real-time RAN intelligent controller (near real time RAN intelligent controller, near-RT RIC) and an E2 node (node) through an E2 interface. After the near-RT RIC and the E2 Node normally establish connection through the E2 interface, the E2 Node informs the near-RT RIC of the RAN function. The near-RT RIC may place a message indicating that the E2 Node transmits resource configuration information in a subscription message. Accordingly, the E2 Node may send report (report) information including resource configuration information to the near-RT RIC according to the subscription message. Subsequently, after receiving report information from the E2 Node, a functional module based on location (location), bandwidth (bandwidth) and radio network information service (radio network information services, RNIS) in the near-RT RIC may trigger a location, bandwidth and RNIS open process according to the report information, so as to provide network services to the edge APP according to the resource configuration information of the base station.

S302, the data processing device acquires the resource requirement information.

The resource requirement information is used for indicating network resource requirements when at least one terminal accesses the edge APP.

Specifically, after receiving the resource configuration information from the base station, the data processing device may obtain, according to the resource configuration information, resource requirement information sent by the edge APP.

Optionally, the network resource requirement when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP may include at least one of a bandwidth requirement, a delay requirement and a jitter requirement of the edge APP for the network resource, so as to ensure stability and security of service data transmission.

Optionally, the network resource requirement when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP may further include terminal information. The terminal information includes: information such as identity information of the terminal and position information of the terminal.

And S303, when the resource allocation information cannot meet the resource demand information, the data processing device updates the network resource allocation of the base station so that the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal meets the resource demand information.

Specifically, after receiving the resource configuration information from the base station and obtaining the resource requirement information, the data processing apparatus may monitor whether the resource configuration information of the base station meets the resource requirement information according to the resource configuration information and the resource requirement information.

When the resource allocation information cannot meet the resource requirement information, the data processing device can update the network resource allocation of the base station according to the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal for accessing the edge APP, so that the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for the at least one terminal meets the resource requirement information.

Optionally, when updating the network resource configuration of the base station according to the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal accessing the edge APP, the data processing device may determine the network resource configuration information to be updated according to the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal accessing the edge APP. Then, the data processing apparatus transmits the network resource configuration information to be updated to the base station. After receiving the network resource configuration information to be updated from the data processing device, the base station updates the network resource configuration according to the network resource configuration information to be updated, so that the network resource provided when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP meets the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal accessing the edge APP.

Optionally, the data processing device may monitor whether the resource configuration information meets the resource requirement information according to a predetermined monitoring mode according to the resource configuration message and the resource requirement information.

And when the current monitoring resource allocation information meets the resource demand information, if so, the data processing device ends the monitoring. Subsequently, the data processing device prepares for the next monitoring according to a predetermined monitoring mode. If not, updating the network resource configuration of the base station so that the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal meets the resource requirement information.

Alternatively, the predetermined monitoring mode may be continuous or periodic, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the data processing device may be preconfigured with a monitoring module and an updating module, where the monitoring module monitors network resources provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal after receiving a network resource requirement when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP. When it is monitored that network resources provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal cannot meet network resource requirements when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal, the monitoring module may send an update notification message to the update module. The update module updates the network resource configuration of the base station after receiving the update notification message from the monitoring module so that the network resource provided when the edge APP is accessed for the at least one terminal meets the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal for accessing the edge APP.

Illustratively, when accessing the edge APP1, the terminal 1 transmits the resource requirement information including a required bandwidth of not less than 50M, a required network delay of not more than 10ms, and a required network jitter of not more than 5ms. The base station 1 provides the terminal 1 with network resources with a bandwidth of 30M, a network delay of 5ms and a network jitter of 5ms and sends to the data processing device along with the resource configuration information. After receiving the network resource requirement sent by the edge APP1 and the resource configuration information sent by the terminal 1, the data processing device judges whether the resource configuration information meets the resource requirement information. At this time, the resource allocation information cannot satisfy the resource demand information, and the data processing apparatus updates the network resources in the resource allocation information to be bandwidth 50M, network delay 5ms and network jitter 5ms, and transmits the network resources to the base station 1 in the resource allocation information to be updated. After receiving the network resource configuration information to be updated from the data processing device, the base station 1 updates the network resource configuration according to the network resource configuration information to be updated, so that the network resource provided for the terminal 1 when accessing the edge APP1 meets the network resource requirement of the terminal 1 when accessing the edge APP 1.

In summary, the data processing device in the embodiment of the present application may receive network resources provided when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal, and obtain a network resource requirement when the at least one terminal accesses the edge APP. When the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal cannot meet the network resource requirement when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal, the data processing device can update the network resource configuration of the base station according to the resource requirement information, so that the network resource provided by the base station when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal can meet the network resource requirement when the base station accesses the edge APP for at least one terminal. Therefore, the embodiment of the application senses the wireless network demands of different terminals through the data processing device and monitors the wireless network resources provided by the base station, and the base station can reasonably provide the wireless network resources for the terminals, so that the user network experience is improved.

In one implementation manner, referring to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, in S302, a method for obtaining resource requirement information by a data processing apparatus includes: S401-S402.

S401, the data processing device sends resource configuration information from the base station to a mobile edge platform MEP corresponding to the edge APP, so that the MEP provides network services corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP.

The resource configuration information is used for the MEP to provide network services corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP.

Specifically, the data processing device sends the resource configuration information to the MEP after receiving the resource configuration information from the base station, so that the MEP provides the network service corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP. Accordingly, the MEP receives the resource configuration information from the data processing device and provides the network service corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP.

Alternatively, the data processing apparatus may send the resource configuration information to the MEP through the A1 interface. After receiving the resource configuration information, the MEP provides network services corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP through the MP1 interface. Illustratively, the MEP receives resource configuration information from the base station 1 sent by the data processing device, and provides network resources provided therein to the terminal 1 to the edge APP accessed by the terminal 1.

It should be noted that, the A1 interface is an interface for interconnecting a non-real-time RAN intelligent controller (non real time RAN intelligent controller, non-RT RIC) and a near-RT RIC, and the development of a module non-RT RIC in a 3GPP standard architecture has not been completed yet. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the data processing apparatus is a RIC, a method of connecting the MEP to the near-RT RIC through the A1 interface is proposed, and the non-RT RIC is replaced by the MEP. In this way, the RIC may send the resource configuration information to the MEP through the A1 interface, and at the same time, the MEP may provide the resource requirement information of the edge APP to the RIC through the A1 interface, so as to implement configuration and management of the wireless network resources.

S402, the data processing device receives resource requirement information sent by the MEP.

The resource demand information is sent to the MEP by the edge APP through network services provided by the MEP.

Specifically, when the terminal accesses the edge APP, the edge APP may send resource requirement information to the MEP through a network service provided by the MEP. Correspondingly, after receiving and packaging the resource demand information from the edge APP, the MEP sends the resource demand information to the data processing device. Correspondingly, the data processing device receives the resource requirement information sent by the MEP.

Optionally, when the terminal accesses the edge APP, the edge APP may send resource requirement information to the MEP through the MP1 interface. Correspondingly, after receiving and packaging the resource demand information from the edge APP through the MP1 interface, the MEP can send the resource demand information to the data processing device through the A1 interface. Correspondingly, the data processing device receives the resource demand information sent by the MEP through the A1 interface

It should be noted that, the existing MEP platform has serious sealing performance, different platform systems of different manufacturers, and proprietary definition of MP1 interfaces, which is inconvenient for intercommunication. Therefore, when the APP is deployed on a large scale, each APP is deployed on the MEP developed by each party, and customized development and service docking are required for each platform, so that repeated development and maintenance work of the service of a third party is greatly increased.

In the embodiment of the application, the standardization of the platform interface and the standardization of the platform architecture can be realized, and the MP1 interface specified by European telecommunication standardization institute (European telecommunications standards institute, ETSI) is enhanced. Thus, the edge APP can send resource requirement information to the MEP through the MP1 interface. Correspondingly, the MEP platform can receive the resource demand information from the edge APP through the MP1 interface, record and forward the resource demand information, and therefore the perception of the resource demand of the edge APP wireless network is realized.

In practical applications, because the network resource requirements of different edge APPs are different, the resource requirement information corresponding to the network resource requirements of different edge APPs is also different.

Optionally, the manner in which the edge APP sends the resource requirement information may be periodic, aperiodic, or semi-persistent, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, when the edge APP provides a service for the terminal, the edge APP may actively send the resource requirement information to the MEP through the MP1 interface, or may send the resource requirement information after receiving a message sent by the MEP and used for requesting to obtain the resource requirement information.

In one implementation manner, as shown in fig. 5 in connection with fig. 3, in S303, the method for updating the network resource configuration of the base station by the data processing apparatus includes: S501-S502.

S501, the data processing device acquires the service priority of at least one terminal.

The service priority is used for indicating the sequence of the wireless network resources obtained by the terminal when the plurality of terminals access the same edge APP.

Specifically, after receiving the resource configuration information from the base station, the data processing apparatus may determine identity information of at least one terminal according to the resource configuration information, and determine a service priority of the at least one terminal according to the identity information of the at least one terminal.

Alternatively, the identity information of the terminal may be international mobile subscriber identity (international mobile subscriber identification number, IMSI) information in a subscriber identity authentication module (subscriber identification module, SIM) of the terminal. If the IMSI information is a pre-registered private network user of the base station, determining that the service priority of the terminal is high. If the IMSI information is a public network user that is not registered in advance, determining that the service priority of the terminal is a low priority.

S502, the data processing device updates the network resource configuration of the base station according to the service priority of at least one terminal.

Specifically, when the resource allocation information cannot meet the resource requirement information, the data processing device may determine, according to the service priority of at least one terminal, a network resource requirement of the at least one high-priority terminal for accessing the edge APP, and update, according to the network resource requirement of the at least one high-priority terminal for accessing the edge APP, the network resource allocation of the base station, so that the network resource provided by the base station when accessing the edge APP for the at least one high-priority terminal meets the network resource requirement of the at least one high-priority terminal for accessing the edge APP. Optionally, the method for updating the network resource configuration of the base station by the data processing device according to the network resource requirement of the at least one high-priority terminal for accessing the edge APP may refer to S303, and the method for updating the network resource configuration of the base station by the data processing device according to the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal for accessing the edge APP is not described herein.

Optionally, after the at least one high-priority terminal finishes accessing the edge APP, the data processing device may update the network resource configuration of the base station according to the network resource requirement of the at least one low-priority terminal accessing the edge APP, so that the network resource provided by the base station when accessing the edge APP for the at least one low-priority terminal meets the network resource requirement of the at least one low-priority terminal accessing the edge APP.

Optionally, the method for updating the network resource configuration of the base station by the data processing device according to the network resource requirement of the at least one low-priority terminal for accessing the edge APP may refer to S303, and the method for updating the network resource configuration of the base station by the data processing device according to the network resource requirement of the at least one terminal for accessing the edge APP is not described herein.

Illustratively, the data processing apparatus receives the resource allocation information from the base station 1, and recognizes that the base station 1 provides network resources with a bandwidth of 30M, a network delay of 5ms, and a network jitter of 5ms for both the terminal 1 and the terminal 2, and that the traffic priority of the terminal 1 is high and the traffic priority of the terminal 2 is low. The data processing device receives the resource requirement information from the MEP and identifies network resources for which the terminal 1 requires a bandwidth of at least 50M, a network delay of not more than 5ms and a network jitter of not more than 5ms, and the terminal 2 requires network resources for which the bandwidth is at least 30M, the network delay of not more than 5ms and the network jitter of not more than 5 ms. Then, the data processing device monitors that the network resource provided by the base station 1 cannot meet the network resource requirement of the terminal 1, recognizes that the service priority of the terminal 1 is high priority and the service priority of the terminal 2 is low priority, and sends an update instruction to the base station 1, so that the base station 1 preferentially provides the network resource with the bandwidth of 50M, the network delay of 5ms and the network jitter of 5ms for the terminal 1 with the high priority. After the terminal 1 finishes the service or the other services finish to release the network resources, the base station 1 provides the network resources to the terminal 2.

In one implementation, in conjunction with fig. 3, as shown in fig. 6, before step S301, the data processing method further includes: s601.

S601, the data processing device sends a data distribution strategy to the mobile edge operation MEC through the base station, so that the MEC provides network service for the MEP corresponding to the edge APP according to the data distribution strategy, and the MEP starts the edge APP.

The data splitting policy is used for splitting received data to the MEP corresponding to the received data.

In particular, the data processing apparatus may be preconfigured with the splitting module. The distribution module is provided with a data distribution strategy. The data processing device may acquire the data offloading policy in the offloading module first, and then send the data offloading policy to the base station. Correspondingly, the base station receives the data offloading policy from the data processing apparatus and sends it to the MEC. Correspondingly, the MEC receives the data distribution strategy from the base station, provides network service for the MEP corresponding to the edge APP according to the data distribution strategy, and enables the MEP to start the edge APP.

Optionally, the MEC DP deployed on the MEC may receive a data offloading policy from the base station, provide network services for the MEP corresponding to the edge APP according to the data offloading policy, and enable the MEP to start the edge APP

Illustratively, terminal 1 sends a request message to base station 1 when access to edge APP1 is required. Accordingly, the base station 1 receives the request message from the terminal 1 to access the edge APP1 and transmits the request message to the MEC. Accordingly, the MEC receives the request message from the base station 1 and sends the request message to the MEP according to the data offloading policy. Accordingly, in response to the request message, the MEP matches to the edge APP corresponding to the request message and starts.

Alternatively, the MEC DP may be connected to the base station via an N3 interface. After receiving the data offloading policy from the data processing apparatus, the base station may send the data offloading policy to the MEC DP through the N3 interface. Correspondingly, the MEC DP receives the data offloading policy from the base station via the N3 interface. Subsequently, after the base station receives the request message from the terminal to access the edge APP and sends the request message to the MEC DP, the MEC DP receives the request message from the base station and shunts the request message to the MEP corresponding to the edge APP according to the data shunting policy. Accordingly, in response to the request message, the MEP matches to the edge APP corresponding to the request message and starts.

Optionally, the data splitting policy may be an ip+computer PORT (PORT) splitting manner, or a domain name system (domain name system, DNS) splitting manner. For example, when the data splitting policy is the splitting mode of ip+port, the MEC DP can split according to the destination IP address and destination PORT number in the service IP five-tuple. When the data splitting policy is a DNS splitting mode, the MEC DP can redirect a specific DNS domain name query request to the MEC DNS service for processing. In the MEC, a user plane function (user plane function, UPF) is generally deployed to implement data offloading. However, the UPF has multiple functions such as a/D conversion, signaling conversion, and UNI activation/deactivation, so the deployment cost of the UPF is also high. However, when MECs are deployed in enterprise areas, the function of UPF data offloading is mainly utilized, and other functions of UPF are not utilized. In the embodiment of the application, the data processing device configures the data distribution strategy for the MEC DP to finish data distribution, thereby realizing the replacement of UPF and reducing the deployment cost.

In one implementation, as shown in fig. 7, the data processing method includes: S701-S710.

S701, the data processing device sends a data distribution strategy to the MEC DP through the base station.

It should be understood that, for a specific implementation manner of the data processing apparatus sending the data splitting policy to the MECDP through the base station, reference may be made to the description of S601, which is not repeated herein.

S702, the terminal sends a request message to the base station.

Specifically, after the terminal successfully accesses the wireless network of the base station, when the terminal needs to access the edge APP, a request message is sent to the base station. The request message is used for the terminal to access the edge APP.

In practical applications, the base station and session management function (session management function, SMF) or mobility management function (core access and mobility management function, AMF) establish different protocol data unit sessions (protocol data unit session, PDU session) for the terminal according to different services, so as to develop services required by the terminal. After the PDU session is established, service data can be transmitted between the terminal and the base station.

S703, in response to the request message, the base station transmits the request message to the MEC DP.

Specifically, after receiving the request message from the terminal, the base station sends the request message to the MEC DP.

Alternatively, the base station may send a request message to the MEC DP through the N3 interface.

S704, in response to the request message, the MEC DP shunts the received request message to the MEP corresponding to the received request message according to the data shunt policy.

Specifically, after receiving the request message from the base station, the MEC DP may parse the request message to obtain the IP address of the edge APP accessed by the terminal, and determine, according to the data offloading policy, the MEP corresponding to the edge APP accessed by the terminal. In response to the request message, the MEC DP shunts the received request message to the MEP corresponding to the received request message.

Alternatively, the MEC DP may send the request message to the MEP via the N6 interface.

S705, the base station transmits resource allocation information to the data processing apparatus in response to the request message.

Specifically, the base station receives a request message from the terminal, and transmits resource configuration information to the data processing apparatus in response to the request message. The resource configuration information is used for indicating network resources provided by the base station for the terminal access edge APP.

Optionally, the base station may provide network resources for the terminal according to a preset resource allocation rule.

S706, the data processing apparatus sends resource configuration information to the MEP.

Specifically, the data processing device receives the resource configuration information from the base station, and sends the resource configuration information from the base station to the MEP, so that the MEP provides the network service corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP.

It should be understood that, regarding the specific implementation manner of the data processing apparatus to receive the resource configuration information from the base station, reference may be made to the description of S301, which is not repeated herein.

It should be understood that, regarding a specific implementation manner in which the data processing apparatus sends the resource configuration information to the MEP so that the MEP provides the network service corresponding to the resource configuration information to the edge APP, reference may be made to the description of S401, which is not repeated herein.

S707, in response to the request message, the MEP starts an edge APP corresponding to the request message, and provides the edge APP with a network service corresponding to the resource configuration information from the data processing apparatus.

Specifically, the MEP receives a request message from the MEC DP and resource configuration information from the data processing device, starts an edge APP corresponding to the request message in response to the request message, and provides network services corresponding to the network configuration information to the edge APP according to the resource configuration information.

Optionally, the MEP may provide network services for the edge APP through the MP1 interface.

S709, in response to the resource requirement information, the MEP transmits the resource requirement information to the data processing apparatus.

It should be understood that, for the specific implementation of S709, reference may be made to the description of S402, which is not repeated herein.
