[0072] The present exemplary implementation is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0073] first, Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for processing a computing network service in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, it can be applied to AF network element. The method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0074] S102: receiving a computing network service request.

[0075] S104: Determine the amount of network computing service data, the priority of the network computing service, the end-side computing delay range, and the local round-trip delay according to the network computing service request.

[0076] S106: Send the computing network service data volume, computing network service priority, terminal side computing delay range, local round-trip delay and computing network service request.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, the computing network service may include various types of services, such as: training large models, computing services, immersive communications, artificial intelligence and communication integration, and other application scenarios.

[0078] In a possible embodiment, the computing network service request includes at least: a user equipment identifier, a computing network service identifier, and a computing network service requirement.

[0079] In a possible embodiment, the computing network service request further includes: a PDU session identifier.

[0080] In a possible embodiment, the computing network service data volume includes: the data volume required for computing and the data volume required for uplink and downlink transmission.

[0081] The method of determining the amount of computing network service data may include: determining the amount of computing network service data according to the computing network service demand and the computing network service identifier in the computing network service request.

[0082] In a possible embodiment, the computing network service requirements include at least: reasoning accuracy, security requirements, and power consumption requirements.

[0083] The method of determining the amount of data for the computing network service may include: determining the amount of data required for computing and the amount of data required for uplink and downlink transmission based on inference accuracy, security requirements, power consumption requirements and the computing network service identifier.

[0084] In a possible embodiment, the AF network element determines the total amount of data involved in the computing network service based on the received computing network service requirements and computing network service identifier, and determines the first data amount and the second data amount in the total data amount based on parameters such as reasoning accuracy, security requirements, and power consumption requirements.

[0085] The first data volume can be understood as: how much data needs to be processed and calculated by the user device, that is, the end side itself, and the second data volume can be understood as: how much data can be obtained from the user device side.

[0086] Among them, security requirements determine the lower limit of the UE's local computing data volume, and power consumption requirements and computing power determine the upper limit of the UE's local computing data volume and computing delay.

[0087] In a possible embodiment, when the security requirement is greater than a preset security threshold, the computing network service requirement also includes: computing power.

[0088] Methods for determining the amount of computing network service data may include: determining the amount of data required for computing and the amount of data required for uplink and downlink transmission based on reasoning accuracy, security requirements, power consumption requirements, computing capabilities, and computing network service identification.

[0089] In a possible embodiment, the AF network element can pre-allocate the network resources and computing power resources required for the computing network service based on the computing network service request. That is, the user equipment has not yet sent the data content related to the actual computing network service to the network element, but only sent the computing network service request. The AF network element can determine how much network resources and computing power resources are required for this computing network service request. The network element side will then perform actual resource allocation and feedback to the user device side. After establishing the computing network service session channel, the user equipment side transmits the computing network service data for processing by the network side.

[0090] In a possible embodiment, the method of determining the end-side computing delay range may include: determining the range of the local computing data volume of the user device based on the computing network service requirements and the computing network service identifier; determining the end-side computing delay range based on the range of the local computing data volume of the user device and the computing network service requirements.

[0091] In a possible embodiment, the local round-trip delay in the present disclosure can be understood as: the total two-way delay of the computing network service between the UE and the UPF terminating the N6 interface, including the two-way transmission delay between the UE and the UPF terminating the N6 interface and the calculation delay of each computing network node on the end side.

[0092] The overall round-trip delay in the present disclosure is the RTT (Round-Trip Time) delay, which can be the total two-way delay from the UE starting to send the computing service to receiving the computing result, including the two-way transmission delay and the computing delay of each computing node.

[0093] In a possible embodiment, the AF network element determines the local round-trip delay and does not include the cloud computing network node in the entire processing of the computing network service to make predictions and pre-allocate resources.

[0094] Methods for determining the local round-trip delay may include: determining the local round-trip delay of the computing network service request based on the computing network service identifier and the computing network service demand; when the cloud computing network node does not participate in the computing network service processing process, the local round-trip delay is equal to the overall round-trip delay RTT of the computing network service request.

[0095] In a possible embodiment, the method of determining the priority of the computing network service may include: determining the priority of the computing network service according to at least one of a UE identifier, a computing network service identifier, and a computing network service requirement.

[0096] For example, the UE identifier and the computing network service identifier can be directly associated with a specific priority, and a computing network service can be decomposed into one or more tasks, which can also be associated with specific priorities respectively; for example, the lower the RTT delay requirement or the higher the reasoning accuracy requirement in the computing network service requirements, the higher the priority.

[0097] After the AF network element determines the amount of computing network service data, computing network service priority, end-side computing delay range, and local round-trip delay, it sends it to the subsequent network element, which can be a computing network policy control and computing network management device. The computing network policy control and computing network management device can be a CNMF network element and a PCF network element, or a PCF network element. The CNMF network element can belong to the core network and exist in the form of an independent network element or functional module, and can be combined with the PCF as one, that is, the PCF network element has both the computing network management function and the computing network policy control function.

[0098] The CNMF network element may also be an external system that does not belong to the core network but can interact with the core network, which is not limited in this solution. The CNMF network element is a device with computing network management function, which is called CNMF in this disclosure, but is not limited to this name.

[0099] In a possible implementation manner, the computing network policy control and computing network management device is a PCF network element. Figure 2 A second flowchart of a method for processing computing network services in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a PCF network element and includes the following steps:

[0100] S202: Receive the amount of computing network service data, computing network service priority, terminal side computing delay range, local round-trip delay and computing network service request.

[0101] S204: Determine the QoS service quality of the computing power requested by the computing network service based on the computing network service data volume, computing network service priority and currently available computing power resources.

[0102] In a possible embodiment, the computing power QoS includes at least: at least one computing power QoS sequence number, the computing power resource type corresponding to each computing power QoS sequence number, the computing power resource size and the first total computing delay.

[0103] S206: Determine the network strategy and charging control rules for the network service request based on the network service data volume, the end-side computing delay range, the local round-trip delay and the computing power QoS.

[0104] In a possible embodiment, the computing network policy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC) includes at least: computing power QoS, end-side computing delay range, uplink and downlink guaranteed bit rate (Guaranteed Bit Rate, GBR), uplink and downlink maximum bit rate (Maximum Bit Rate, MBR), and first uplink and downlink packet delay budget (Packet Delay Budget, PDB).

[0105] S208: Send the computing network PCC rules.

[0106] In a possible embodiment, the method of deciding the computing power QoS of the computing network service request may include: deciding the computing power QoS of the computing network service request based on the required amount of data for calculation, the computing network service priority and the currently available computing power resources.

[0107] In a possible embodiment, a method for determining the computing network PCC rules for the computing network service request may include: determining the transmission delay of the uplink and downlink transmission according to the required amount of data for uplink and downlink transmission; determining the computing network PCC rules for the computing network service request according to the transmission delay, the end-side computing delay range, the local round-trip delay and the first total computing delay in the computing power QoS.

[0108] The list of computing power QoS takes Table 1 as an example to illustrate the computing power QoS, as shown in Table 1:

[0109]

[0110] As shown in Table 1, each computing power QoS sequence number corresponds to an allocation method, and the allocation method specifically includes: computing power resource type, computing power resource size corresponding to each computing power resource type, and the first total computing delay.

[0111] Among them, a computing power QoS sequence number can correspond to at least one computing power resource type. The computing power resource type can include at least one of the following: CPU, GPU, DPU.

[0112] In a possible embodiment, the information of currently available computing resources includes the locations (UE / RAN / UPF / cloud) and corresponding sizes of various types of computing resources.

[0113] In a possible embodiment, the first total computing delay includes: a first total computing delay upper limit and a first total computing delay lower limit; the first total computing delay upper limit is determined according to the computing network service priority; the first total computing delay lower limit is determined according to the currently available computing power resources.

[0114] In a possible embodiment, the computing power resource size corresponding to each computing power QoS sequence number is between the upper limit and the lower limit of the computing power resources; the upper limit of the computing power resources is determined according to the currently available computing power resources; and the lower limit of the computing power resources is determined according to the computing network service priority.

[0115] Exemplarily, when PCF makes decisions, the currently available computing resources determine the upper limit of computing resources and the lower limit of total computing latency, and the computing network service priority determines the lower limit of computing resources and the upper limit of total computing latency.

[0116] Take the content in Table 1 as an example. If the current available computing power resources are 10, and all the current available computing power resources are allocated to the computing network service, and all 10 are used up, it is assumed that the first total computing delay that can be obtained is 3ms. For example, the upper limit of the first total computing delay determined by the computing network service priority is 10ms. The lower limit of the computing power resources determined by the computing network service priority is 2.

[0117] Based on this, when determining the computing power QoS list, max{M1+N1, L2+M2+N2, ..., Xn}≤10, 2≤min{M1+N1, L2+M2+N2, ..., Xn} should be followed. And the first total computing delay D1 / D2 / ... / Dn corresponding to the row where M1+N1, L2+M2+N2, ..., Xn is located should be greater than or equal to 3ms and less than or equal to 10ms.

[0118] In a possible embodiment, the GBR, MBR, and PDB in the computing network PCC rules in the present disclosure are determined based on the network QoS and computing power QoS, which is different from the method in the related art.

[0119] In a possible embodiment, the PCF network element also interacts with the SMF network element during the process of processing the computing network service, which may specifically include: receiving a computing network node creation request sent by the current session management function SMF network element; judging whether to insert a computing network node for the computing network service based on the computing network node creation request; if so, sending a computing network node creation response, which at least includes: the inserted computing network node information and the matched target computing power QoS.

[0120] In a possible embodiment, if the inserted computing network node is: a user plane function UPF within the management scope of other SMFs, then the new creation response of the computing network node also includes: the identifier of the other SMF.

[0121] In a possible embodiment, if the inserted computing network node is a cloud computing network node, the computing network node new creation response also includes the second total computing delay and N6 transmission delay of the cloud computing network node.

[0122] In another possible implementation, when the computing network policy control and computing network management device includes: a CNMF network element and a PCF network element, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The third and fourth flowcharts of a computing network service processing method in an embodiment of the present disclosure are respectively shown.
