At the same time, the network can pre-reserve or preempt computing power servers according to the computing power requirements of user computing tasks or services to ensure the normal operation of services. It can also reselect computing power servers for users when computing power resources are insufficient.

[0257] At the same time, the network can also subscribe to the computing power status of the server to determine whether it meets or matches the computing power requirements of user tasks or business.

When a user initiates a server query, the network can obtain the user's computing power requirements based on their computing tasks or service needs, and use the analyzed results as one of the important parameters for server query resolution. In this way, the first communication device can comprehensively consider the user's current location, the computing power requirements of the user's tasks or services, and select the optimal computing server or edge computing server to provide services to the user, achieving the best server that comprehensively considers computing power guarantee and the shortest routing distance. Simultaneously, the network can pre-reserve or preempt computing server resources based on the user's computing power requirements or service needs to ensure the normal operation of services. It can also reselect computing servers for users when computing power resources are insufficient.

[0274] At the same time, the network can also subscribe to the computing power status of the server to determine whether it meets or matches the computing power requirements of user tasks or business.

When a user initiates a server query, the network can obtain the user's computing power requirements based on their computing tasks or service needs, and use the analyzed results as one of the important parameters for server query resolution.

[0279] The implementation of the embodiments of this application is described below with reference to Embodiments 1 to 4.

[0280] Example 1: Server query and resolve network element (center) + Server query network element

[0281] See Figure 5 The specific steps are as follows:

[0282] Step 0: The computing power sensing network element subscribes to the computing power status information of the computing power server. The server queries and parses the computing power status information of the subscribed computing power sensing network element and each computing power server.

[0283] Step 1: The terminal establishes a session with the user plane.

[0284] Step 2: The terminal sends a server query request (second request) to the server to query and resolve network elements.

[0285] Step 3: The server queries and resolves the interaction between the network element and the session management function (e.g., the Session Management Function (SMF)) to obtain one or more of the following from the session management function: terminal location information, user plane information of network selection, and data network access identifier (DNAI) information.

[0286] Step 4: The server queries and resolves the network element to send a computing power query request (third request) to the computing power sensing network element.

[0287] The computing power query request is used to query the computing power requirements corresponding to computing power tasks or services.

[0288] Optionally, the computing power query request may include at least one of the following: a description of the computing power task.

[0289] Optionally, the description information of the computing task includes at least one of the following: business description information.

[0290] Optionally, the service description information includes at least one of the following: (1) Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN); (2) IP address; (3) Port number; (4) Application description information; (5) Service type.

[0291] Step 5: The computing power sensing network element returns a computing power query response based on the computing power query request.

[0292] The computing power query response includes: computing power requirement information corresponding to computing power tasks and / or services.

[0293] Among these, the server queries and parses the network element to generate auxiliary information for querying the server (such as ECS options).

[0294] Optionally, the auxiliary information used to query the server may include one or more of the following:

[0295] (1) Information on computing power requirements corresponding to computing power tasks and / or services;

[0296] (2) Terminal location information;

[0297] (3) User plane information selected by the network;

[0298] (4) Data Network Access Identifier (DNAI) information.

[0299] Step 6: The server queries and resolves network elements by sending a computing power server query request to the network element query server (e.g., the central server queries the network element).

[0300] The computing power server query request (fourth request) includes: querying auxiliary information.

[0301] Optionally, the query auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0302] (1) Computing power requirements corresponding to computing power tasks and / or services;

[0303] (2) Terminal location information;

[0304] (3) User plane information selected by the network;

[0305] (4) Data network access identification information.

[0306] The server queries the network element and performs relevant operations to query the computing power server based on the query auxiliary information.

[0307] Optionally, the operations related to querying the computing power server include one or more of the following:

[0308] (1) Confirm the first server, which is a computing power server that meets the requirements for querying auxiliary information;

[0309] (2) Return the address information of the first server.

[0310] Understandably, the aforementioned first server is a candidate server before computing resources are successfully allocated or reserved. After successful allocation or reservation of computing resources, it becomes the first server.

[0311] Step 7: The server queries the network element (e.g., the central server queries the network element) and sends a server query response to the server query resolution network element.

[0312] The server query response includes the address information of the first server that matches the query auxiliary information.

[0313] The address information of the first server includes one or more of the following:

[0314] (1) The IP address information of the first server;

[0315] (2) Port number information of the first server;

[0316] (3) The first server's Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

[0317] In one implementation, the requirement that the first server meets the query auxiliary information includes: the computing power status of the first server can support the computing power requirements of the computing power task.

[0318] In another implementation, the first server meets the requirements for querying auxiliary information, including: the computing power status of the first server is able to support the computing power requirements of computing power tasks and / or services; and the location of the first server is consistent with the location of the terminal (e.g., the first server is closest to the terminal or the path between the first server and the terminal is optimal).

[0319] Step 8: The server queries and resolves network elements and computing power sensing network elements, and sends a fifth request to the computing power server or computing power resource allocation server. The fifth request is used to request the allocation or reservation of computing power resources for the computing power task and / or service.

[0320] In one implementation, the computing resource allocation server is the first selected server.

[0321] Optionally, the fifth request may include one or more of the following: (1) index information of the first server (IP address, ID, port number, FQDN, URL, etc.); (2) computing resource requirements of computing tasks and / or services.

[0322] Step 9: The first server sends a computing resource allocation response to the computing power sensing network element and the server query and resolution network element.

[0323] The computing resource allocation response includes: successful allocation of computing resources (or successful reservation of computing resources), or failed allocation of computing resources (or failed reservation of computing resources).

[0324] In one implementation, if the computing resources are successfully allocated and the candidate server becomes the first server, then step 10 is executed.

[0325] In another implementation, if the allocation of computing resources fails, steps 4-8 are repeated.

[0326] Step 10: The server queries and resolves the network element to send the address information of the first server to the session management function.

[0327] Step 11: The session management function reconfigures the user plane based on the address information of the first server.

[0328] Step 12: The terminal establishes an IP connection with the first server.

[0329] Example 2: Server query and resolve network element + (multiple) (local) server query and resolve network element + (multiple) (local) server query network element

[0330] See Figure 6 The specific steps are as follows:

[0331] Steps 0-5 are the same as steps 0-5 in Embodiment 1. For a detailed description, please refer to Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0332] Step 6: Server query and resolution network elements. Based on the server query and resolution network element filtering conditions (e.g., local server query and resolution network element filtering conditions), select one or more server query and resolution network elements in the region (e.g., local server query and resolution network elements).

[0333] Optionally, the server query resolution network element filtering conditions include one or more of the following:

[0334] (1) Terminal location information;

[0335] (2) The computing power requirements corresponding to computing power tasks and / or services;

[0336] (3) Computing power status information of the computing power server.

[0337] Steps 7 and 8 are the same as steps 6 and 7 in Example 1.

[0338] Step 9: The server queries and resolves the network element. Based on the query responses from one or more servers (i.e., based on the computing power server query results returned by multiple local servers querying and resolving the network element), the server selects the best first server as the second server.

[0339] Understandably, the second server is a candidate server before computing resources are successfully allocated or reserved. After successful allocation or reservation of computing resources, it becomes the second server.

[0340] In one implementation, the method for selecting the second server should meet the requirements for querying auxiliary information (see step 8, i.e., the requirement for querying auxiliary information twice using the application server, comparing the query results of multiple regions, and selecting the optimal one).

[0341] Steps 10-14 are the same as steps 8-12 in Embodiment 1. For a detailed description, please refer to Embodiment 1. They will not be repeated here.

[0342] Example 3: Server query and resolution of network element + (local) server query and resolution of network element + (local) server query of network element

[0343] See Figure 7 The specific steps are as follows:

[0344] Steps 0-5 and 8-12 are the same as steps 0-5 and 8-12 in Embodiment 1. For a detailed description, please refer to Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0345] Step 6: The server queries and resolves network elements, sending a server query request to the server query network element (e.g., the local server query network element). The server query request includes: querying auxiliary information.

[0346] Among them, the server query network element performs relevant operations for querying the computing power server based on the query auxiliary information.

[0347] A server query request includes at least one of the following: querying auxiliary information.

[0348] Optionally, the operations related to the query of the computing power server include at least one of the following:

[0349] (1) Confirm the first server, which is a computing power server that meets the requirements for querying auxiliary information;

[0350] (2) Return the address information of the first server.

[0351] Understandably, the first server is a candidate server before computing resources are successfully allocated or reserved. After successful allocation or reservation of computing resources, it becomes the first server.

[0352] Step 7: The server queries the network element (e.g., the local server queries the network element) and sends a server query response to the server query and resolve the network element.

[0353] Optionally, the server query response includes: index information of a first server that matches the query assistance information.

[0354] In one implementation, the requirement that the first server meets the server query auxiliary information includes: the computing power status of the first server can support the computing power requirements of computing power tasks and / or services.

[0355] In another implementation, the first server meets the requirements for querying auxiliary information, including: the computing power status of the first server can support the computing power requirements of computing power tasks and / or services; and the location of the first server is consistent with the location of the terminal (e.g., the first server is closest to the terminal or the path between the first server and the terminal is optimal).

[0356] Unlike Implementation Example 1, when a server queries a network element (e.g., a local server queries a network element), it can only find the first server within the coverage area of ​​the network element being queried (e.g., local) that meets the requirements for querying auxiliary information. However, this first server may not be the globally optimal one.

[0357] Embodiment 4 of the present invention: Allocation of computing resources

[0358] See Figure 8 The specific steps are as follows:

[0359] Steps 1-7 are the same as steps 1-7 in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0360] Step 8: The server queries and resolves the network element to send the fifth request to the computing resource allocation server.

[0361] In one implementation, the computing resource allocation server is the first selected server.

[0362] Optionally, the fifth request includes at least one of the following:

[0363] (1) Index information of the first server (e.g., IP address, ID, port number, FQDN, URL, etc.);

[0364] Understandably, the first server is a candidate server before computing resources are successfully allocated or reserved. After successful allocation or reservation of computing resources, it becomes the first server.

[0365] (2) Computing resource requirements for computing tasks;

[0366] (3) The computing power resource demand information mentioned above.

[0367] In one implementation, the computing resource allocation server is not the first server selected. Therefore, the computing resource allocation server uses the index information of the first server to locate the first server and sends a fifth request to the first server.

[0368] Understandably, the first server is a candidate server before computing resources are successfully allocated or reserved. After successful allocation or reservation of computing resources, it becomes the first server.

[0369] Step 9: The computing resource allocation server sends the fifth request to the computing server.

[0370] Step 10: The computing resource allocation server queries the server to resolve the network element and sends a computing resource allocation response (i.e., the response message of the fifth message).

[0371] In one implementation, if the computing resources are successfully allocated, then step 11 is executed.

[0372] In another implementation, if the allocation of computing resources fails, steps 4-10 are repeated.

[0373] Steps 11-13 are the same as steps 10-12 in Embodiment 1 of the invention.
