[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.

[0024] The resource configuration method, device, electronic device, and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] With the continuous development of 5G network technology and the increasing popularity of terminal applications, the commercialization of network slicing, a key feature of 5G networks, has been put on the agenda. Network slicing refers to the division of the network into network channels with different characteristic dimensions based on different user needs. Different network service qualities are provided on different channels, providing specific types of network services to different users, thereby achieving a refined improvement in the user's online experience.

[0026] Network slicing types primarily include low-latency slicing and high-bandwidth slicing. For example, low-latency slicing is primarily used in gaming scenarios. This type of network slicing requires minimal bandwidth and very low latency for the data being transmitted. High-bandwidth slicing is primarily used in online video streaming scenarios. This type of network slicing requires high bandwidth and can tolerate a certain degree of latency. Operators select the appropriate slicing type based on the data transmitted from the terminal to the network and implement appropriate configuration policies to achieve the transmission characteristics of the corresponding slice.

[0027] Specifically, the terminal generates data in the process of running the application, and the terminal sends the generated data to the corresponding network slice directly to the operator network. Then, the operator network uses different processing logic to transmit data of different types of network slices. For example, after the terminal generates data by running the game application APP1 or running the video application APP2, the data of APP1 or APP2 uses the same slicing strategy to send the data of APP1 to the network slice corresponding to the operator network. Finally, the operator network uses the network-side processing logic corresponding to the low-latency slice for transmission based on the data type. Alternatively, the terminal system uses the same slicing strategy to send the data of APP2 to the operator network. Finally, the operator network uses the network-side processing logic corresponding to the high-bandwidth slice for transmission based on the data type.

[0028] As can be seen, before the application data generated by the terminal is sent to the operator network, while it is still in the terminal, there is no method to effectively ensure the slice characteristics: First, when sending data, the terminal simply sends the application data to the corresponding slice, without identifying the characteristics of the slice. The same transmission strategy is adopted for data on all types of network slices. Therefore, because the data on each network slice uses the same transmission strategy, it will compete for resources and affect each other, resulting in data loss.

[0029] In the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal receives network slice information from the network side device, and the network slice information includes information about the slice characteristics of at least one network slice supported by the network side device, so that the terminal can determine the resource allocation strategy corresponding to each network slice based on the information about the slice characteristics of the at least one network slice, and then the terminal can configure corresponding slice resources for each network slice based on the resource allocation strategy. In this way, since the terminal can configure appropriate corresponding slice resources for different network slices based on the different slice characteristics corresponding to different network slices, the terminal can use different slice resource strategies to send data to the operator network, thereby avoiding data loss caused by using the same strategy to send data.

[0030] The resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented by a training device for a face recognition model, and the resource configuration device may be an electronic device (e.g., a terminal) or a functional module within the electronic device. The following uses a terminal as an example to illustrate the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0031] The present application provides a resource configuration method. Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a resource configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 to 203.

[0032] Step 201: The terminal receives network slicing information from the network side device.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned network slice information includes: slice characteristics of at least one network slice supported by the above-mentioned network side device.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned slice characteristics can be low-latency slices, high-bandwidth slices, high-security slices, etc.

[0035] For example, after the terminal is attached to the core network, the network side device sends network slice information to the terminal, and the terminal can establish a slice feature mapping table based on the slice feature information in the network slice information.

[0036] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned slice feature mapping table is established based on the slice feature information of each network slice in the above-mentioned network slice information and stored in the terminal.

[0037] Step 202: The terminal determines a resource allocation strategy corresponding to the first network slice based on the slice characteristics of the first network slice in the at least one network slice mentioned above.

[0038] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned first network slice can be multiple network slices or one network slice.

[0039] Exemplarily, the first network slice is any network slice among the at least one network slice.

[0040] Exemplarily, the terminal receives the above-mentioned network slice information and configures different slice resources for network slices with different slice characteristics based on the information of the slice characteristics of the first network slice in the network slice information.

[0041] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the method for configuring different slice resources for network slices with different slice characteristics includes the following steps S1 to S4:

[0042] Step S1: After the terminal is inserted with the card, the terminal will be attached to the 5G core network.

[0043] Step S2: After the network attachment is successful, the network side device will report the network slice information to the terminal. The network slice information includes the data types supported and transmitted by each network slice in the network side device, as well as the characteristics of each network slice, such as high bandwidth requirements or high latency requirements.

[0044] Step S3: The terminal obtains the slice characteristics of the network slice and the data types supported for transmission by querying the slice feature mapping table.

[0045] Step S4: The terminal allocates resources to the slices based on their characteristics. For example, low-latency slices with low latency requirements are assigned higher CPU preemption privileges, shorter CPU execution times, and higher protocol stack scheduling privileges; high-bandwidth slices with high bandwidth requirements are assigned larger I / O buffers; and high-security slices with high security requirements are configured with resource replacement methods, such as hardware encryption.

[0046] Step 203: The terminal configures resources for the first network slice in at least one network slice based on the above resource allocation strategy.

[0047] In a first possible embodiment:

[0048] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the slice feature of the first network slice is a low-latency slice, the process of step 203 "the terminal configures resources for the first network slice in at least one network slice based on the resource allocation policy" includes step 203a:

[0049] Step 203a: The terminal configures high CPU permissions and a preset transmission duration for the first network slice, and only allows the first network slice to transmit data within the preset transmission duration.

[0050] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned high CPU permission is used to indicate that the above-mentioned first network slice has the highest CPU transmission permission.

[0051] Exemplarily, the preset transmission duration may be set by the system or customized by the user.

[0052] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned preset transmission duration is the priority protection period of the above-mentioned first network slice, that is, during the priority protection period, the first network slice is given priority and only allowed to transmit data.

[0053] In a second possible embodiment:

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the slice feature of the first network slice is a high-bandwidth slice, the process of step 203 "the terminal configures resources for the first network slice in at least one network slice based on the resource allocation policy" includes step 203b:

[0055] Step 203b: The terminal configures an I / O cache area for the first network slice.

[0056] In one example, when the first network slice mentioned above is unable to transmit data, the data packet to be transmitted corresponding to the first network slice is stored in the I / O cache area configured by the terminal for the first network slice.

[0057] In one example, when the first network slice can transmit data, the data packet to be transmitted corresponding to the first network slice stored in the I / O cache area is read and transmitted.

[0058] In a third possible embodiment:

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the slice feature of the first network slice is a high-security slice, the process of step 203 "the terminal configures resources for the first network slice in at least one network slice based on the resource allocation policy" includes step 203c:

[0060] Step 203c: Before transmitting data based on the first network slice, the terminal encrypts the data transmitted by the first network slice based on the hardware encryption method.

[0061] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned hardware encryption method can replace the software encryption method in the first network slice.

[0062] In the resource configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a terminal may receive network slicing information from a network-side device, the network slicing information including slicing characteristics of at least one network slice supported by the network-side device; determine a resource allocation policy corresponding to a first network slice in the at least one network slice based on the slicing characteristics of the first network slice; and configure resources for the first network slice based on the resource allocation policy. In this way, since the terminal can configure appropriate corresponding slice resources for different network slices based on the different slicing characteristics corresponding to different network slices, the terminal can use different slice resource policies to send data to the operator network, thereby avoiding data loss caused by using the same policy to send data.

[0063] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 301 and 302:

[0064] Step 301: When a terminal runs a first application, the terminal determines a target slice feature that matches a slice type corresponding to a first data packet of the first application.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first application may be any application installed in the terminal, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0066] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned target slice characteristics are the slice characteristics of the network slice corresponding to the first data packet of the first application.

[0067] Step 302: The terminal transmits the first data packet of the first application based on the target network slice corresponding to the above-mentioned target slice characteristics.

[0068] Exemplarily, the target network slice is one or more of the at least one network slice.

[0069] In one example, the network slice information obtained by the above-mentioned terminal may also include: the data type matched by each of the above-mentioned network slices.

[0070] Exemplarily, the target network slice matches the data type corresponding to the first data packet.

[0071] It should be noted that when the target network slice corresponding to the above-mentioned first application transmits the above-mentioned first data packet, the resources used may be resources pre-configured by the system; or, after the target network slice is determined, the system may configure corresponding resources for the target network slice based on the target slice characteristics of the target network slice.

[0072] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first data packet includes a first tag, which is used to indicate the above-mentioned target network slice.

[0073] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned first mark can be a slice identifier of the target network slice.

[0074] In one example, after the terminal determines the network slice corresponding to the first data packet of the first application, the terminal adds a first tag to the first data packet.

[0075] Further, optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the “transmitting the first data packet of the first application based on the target network slice corresponding to the target slice feature” in the above step 302 includes step 302a:

[0076] Step 302a: Based on the target network slice corresponding to the target slice feature, transmit the first data packet of the first application containing the first tag.

[0077] The following will use specific examples to illustrate the scenario in which the terminal runs the first application in the embodiment of the present application.

[0078] For example, Figure 3 As shown, in the scenario where the terminal runs the first application, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps A1 to A4:

[0079] Step A1: When the first application in the terminal is running, the application may need to transmit data with the operator's network. For example, when playing a game, the terminal needs to transmit data with the game server, and when watching an online video, the terminal needs to download the video file from the video server.

[0080] In step A2, the terminal can transmit data generated by different applications through different network slices. For example, data generated by gaming applications can be transmitted through low-latency slices, while data generated by video applications can be transmitted through high-bandwidth slices. The terminal selects the corresponding network slice for transmission based on the network slice information reported by the network-side device.

[0081] Step A3. After the terminal selects the network slice corresponding to the data generated by the above application, the system marks the data packet (i.e., the above first data packet) composed of the data generated by the application with the slice information of the network slice (i.e., the above first mark), and then the terminal processes the data packet accordingly according to the mark.

[0082] Step A4: After the marking is completed, the terminal will perform the above-mentioned sending process, including the processing of the network protocol stack and the sending of data.

[0083] In this way, the terminal can select the corresponding slice resource strategy to transmit data according to the slice characteristics corresponding to different application data packets, thereby improving the flexibility of slice transmission data.

[0084] Exemplarily, based on the above resource allocation strategy, slice resource scheduling can be performed directly when slices are used to transmit data.

[0085] The following will use specific examples to illustrate the scenario of resource scheduling when the terminal sends data in the embodiment of the present application.

[0086] For example, Figure 4 As shown, in the scenario where resource scheduling is performed when the terminal sends data, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps B1 to B16:

[0087] Step B1: Before the terminal transmits the marked data packet, the terminal first obtains the slice information marked on the current data packet (ie, the first mark mentioned above).

[0088] Step B2: The terminal obtains the slice feature information corresponding to the network slice to be used by this data packet based on the established slice feature mapping table.

[0089] In step B3, the terminal determines the slice feature information corresponding to the network slice and selects an appropriate resource scheduling path. If the network slice used is a low-latency slice, the terminal proceeds to step B4; if the network slice used is a high-bandwidth slice, the terminal proceeds to step B11; if the network slice used is a high-security slice, the terminal proceeds to step B15.

[0090] In step B4, the slice resources allocated by the terminal for the low-latency slice include high CPU preemption privileges, which can interrupt currently running low-priority tasks. Therefore, the terminal first obtains the priority of the currently executing CPU task and compares it with the priority of the low-latency slice to determine whether it can be interrupted, giving priority to sending the low-latency slice.

[0091] Step B5: The terminal determines the priority of the task currently being executed by the CPU. If the priority of the currently executed task is lower than the task of sending the low-latency slice, the terminal proceeds to step B6; otherwise, the terminal proceeds to step B7.

[0092] Step B6: The terminal determines that the priority of the task currently executed by the CPU is lower than the priority of the task of sending the low-latency slice, so it temporarily interrupts the task currently executed by the CPU and switches to executing the task of sending the low-latency slice.

[0093] Step B7: The terminal determines that the priority of the task currently executed by the CPU is higher than the priority of the task sent by the low-latency slice and cannot be interrupted, so it waits for the current task to be completed.

[0094] Step B8: After the low-latency slice sending task obtains the CPU resources, the terminal sets the CPU protection level for the currently executed task. Only tasks with a higher CPU protection level than the set level can preempt the CPU and interrupt the sending process of the current low-latency slice. Other low-level tasks cannot preempt the CPU.

[0095] Step B9. At the same time, after the sending task of the low-latency slice obtains the CPU resources, the terminal sets a priority protection period for the protocol stack. During this priority protection period, only the sending task of the low-latency slice is allowed to be executed, and the sending tasks of other types of slices must wait first.

[0096] Step B10: The terminal sends the data packet to the network protocol stack for processing, and then sends it to the operator's core network through the network card.

[0097] Step B11: The terminal has a low CPU preemption privilege in the slice resources allocated for the high-bandwidth slice, and needs to wait until the CPU completes the current task before obtaining the CPU resources.

[0098] In step B12, the terminal determines whether the protocol stack is within the protection period of the low-latency slice transmission task. If not, the terminal proceeds to step B10 and sends the data to the network protocol stack for processing. Otherwise, the terminal proceeds to step B13.

[0099] Step B13: If the protocol stack is currently unable to process the high-bandwidth sending task, since the slice resources allocated by the terminal for the high-bandwidth slice include an I / O buffer, the terminal will first put the data into the I / O buffer.

[0100] Step B14: After the protection period of the protocol stack ends and the task of sending the high-bandwidth slice can be processed, the terminal obtains the data cached in the I / O buffer, enters step B10, and sends the data to the network protocol stack for processing.

[0101] Step B15. The data of the high-security slice needs to be encrypted before being sent. Therefore, the slice resources allocated by the terminal for the high-security slice include: resource replacement, that is, the terminal will use hardware encryption instead of software encryption to perform encryption operations on the data transmitted by the high-security slice.

[0102] Step B16: Hardware encryption can provide higher encryption speed and security level. After the terminal completes data encryption, it enters step B10 and sends the data to the network protocol stack for processing.

[0103] In this way, the terminal can schedule system resources according to the characteristics of the slice without modifying the existing slice specifications. Based on the original specifications, the terminal can schedule system resources according to the characteristics of the slice without the need for active user participation, avoiding the error rate caused by user participation in changes, making the implementation plan more intelligent and user operation easier, thereby ensuring efficient data transmission.

[0104] Figure 5 This is a system architecture diagram for the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the terminal in the embodiment of the present application includes a slice policy management module, a slice selection policy module and a resource scheduling module.

[0105] Specifically, the core network reports all slice information supported by the network slice to the terminal's slice policy management module, so that the slice policy management module can allocate different slice resources according to the slice characteristics of different network slices. When the terminal runs a third-party application, it generates application data. The terminal's slice selection policy selects the appropriate network slice based on the application data generated by the third-party application, and then enables the terminal's resource scheduling module to perform corresponding resource scheduling for the transmission of application data based on the slice characteristics of the network slice corresponding to the current application data.

[0106] Exemplarily, the slice policy management module is responsible for receiving the network slice information reported by the core network, establishing a mapping relationship between the characteristics of different network slices, and determining the corresponding resource allocation strategy according to the slice characteristics of different network slices. For example, a priority protection period is configured for low-latency slices, during which only low-latency slices are allowed to send data and high CPU preemption rights; a data buffer (i.e., the above-mentioned I / O buffer) is configured for high-bandwidth slices, so that even if high-bandwidth applications fail to receive data in time, data loss will not occur, thereby maintaining a higher bandwidth rate; a specific encryption and decryption method is configured for the data of high-security slices, such as replacing software implementation with hardware implementation to provide a higher level of security.

[0107] Slice selection policy module: selects appropriate slices for third-party application data based on the slice information of the network slice and the request of the third-party application.

[0108] Resource Scheduling Module: Based on the characteristics of the slice used by the terminal to send the data generated by the current application, it allocates appropriate resources to the application: CPU execution time, CPU preemption rights, I / O buffers, protocol stack scheduling rights, slice resource replacement, etc. This ensures that data transmitted on different slices can obtain the corresponding system resources.

[0109] It should be noted that the resource configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a resource configuration device, an electronic device, or a functional module or entity in the electronic device. In the embodiments of the present application, the resource configuration device provided in the embodiments of the present application is described by taking the resource configuration method executed by the resource configuration device as an example.

[0110] Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a possible structural diagram of a resource configuration device involved in an embodiment of the present application.

In this way, since the terminal can configure appropriate corresponding slice resources for different network slices based on the different slicing characteristics corresponding to different network slices, the terminal can use different slice resource policies to send data to the operator network, thereby avoiding data loss caused by using the same policy to send data.
