A data offloading method and system for edge applications

Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention provides a data distribution method and system for edge applications, which are applied to the mobile edge computing MEC platform. The MEC platform includes a service registration center SR network element, an edge session management function SMF network element, and at least one user plane function UPF network. At least one edge application is deployed on the MEC platform, and the edge application can provide edge services. The SR network element receives the registration request message of the edge service provided by the edge application, and sends a registration request response message to the edge application; the SR network element according to the registration request Respond to the message, configure the distribution rule adapted to the edge service; and, send the distribution rule to the SMF network element; the SMF network element receives the distribution rule, and configures the adapted distribution rule for the UPF network element, so as to realize the UPF network element to the edge The data of the application is distributed, so that when the edge service is deployed on the mobile edge computing MEC platform, the one-click deployment of the edge service is realized, the process of sending distribution rules by the edge service is reduced, and the deployment efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a data distribution method and system for edge applications. Background technique [0002] Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) mainly refers to the provision of IT and cloud computing capabilities for the wireless access network by deploying a general-purpose server on the wireless access side, so that the traditional wireless access network has business localization, near The conditions for distance deployment, with the ability to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission, can effectively alleviate the requirements of future mobile networks for transmission bandwidth and delay. At the same time, sinking the service plane and localized deployment can effectively reduce the network load and the demand for network backhaul bandwidth, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing network operation costs. MEC is considered as one of the key pillars to meet the key perfor...

Problems solved by technology

However, the edge computing application registered on the SR network element of the MEC platform is only registered on the MEC platform. After the registration, there is no solution for how to send the data distribution rules.
