Service provision system, method, mobile edge application server and support node

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a service providing system and method, a mobile edge application server and a support node. The system includes: at least one mobile edge application server MEAS and mobile edge application server support node MEAS‑SF; MEAS is deployed on the access network side and connected to one or more base stations; MEAS‑SF is deployed on the core network side and connected to one or more Multiple MEAS connections are connected to the packet data gateway P‑GW. In the service provision system provided in this embodiment, the MEAS is deployed with services such as content and application services. When the MEAS can provide the service requested by the service request to the user equipment, it directly requests the service data from the local service request. The physical deployment of MEAS is often close to the eNodeB, and the user equipment directly obtains the required service data from the RAN side, avoiding data congestion between the RAN and CN and saving network resources.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a service providing system and method, a mobile edge application server, and a support node. Background technique [0002] With the rapid popularization of smart terminals, the development of mobile Internet and the development of wireless network technologies such as High Speed ​​Packet Access (hereinafter referred to as HSPA) technology and Long Term Evolution (hereinafter referred to as LTE), the air interface As the transmission capacity is getting larger and larger, operators often expand or rent backhaul (backhaul) to match the bandwidth required between user equipment and the Internet (Internet), resulting in waste of network construction costs and usage costs. [0003] In the prior art, services, such as content and application services provided by a service provider (Service Provider, hereinafter referred to as SP), can be cached on a ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above technical solution, deploying the server that caches the service on the core network side can reduce the backhaul between the CN and the Internet, however, it is easy to cause data congestion between the RAN and the CN, and waste of bandwidth resources
