Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of information and communication technology, and in particular to a novel information communication network and an information communication method. Background Art

[0002] The Internet has promoted the digitization and informatization of society and has become an important part of the country's new infrastructure.

[0003] The current Internet is designed with the service network as the center. The bearer network part of the Internet (i.e., IP network) only provides connection and "best effort" transmission capabilities, and is in a subordinate position, which is also known as the "thin waist" position. In the current generation of the Internet, relying only on the bearer network to have end-to-end connection and "best effort" basic information transmission capabilities, services and applications can be independently designed and operated without paying attention to the resources and transmission capabilities of the bearer network, which is the so-called OTT mode; even some capacity defects of the network are solved by the end side. For example, in order to solve the problem of insufficient bearer network resources, the TCP protocol adopts the "window" self-adjustment mechanism to improve the problem of insufficient network transmission capacity to ensure transmission quality, which is a typical example.

[0004] According to the above characteristics, the independent and flexible development capabilities of Internet equipment have greatly prospered the Internet. However, the Internet has been developing for 50 years. In order to meet the needs of business development, network technology patches have been continuously added, but its design concept and core technology have not changed substantially. The information transmission technology that relies on "best effort" has shown a trend that it cannot fully support the business network needs. This situation needs to be changed urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application proposes an information communication network, method and device to overcome the limitations of the current Internet and solve the problems that the bearer network of the prior art cannot provide the service network with deterministic network resources and capabilities that meet the needs and does not support non-OTT services.

[0006] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes an information communication network, which includes a service network and a bearer network, wherein the service network is used to generate, organize, manage and control services / applications; the bearer network is used to access and transmit data packets generated by the service network, has wide connectivity and scalability, and has deterministic resource management capabilities for end-to-end service flows, provides deterministic data bearing and transmission to the service network, and can carry OTT services and non-OTT services at the same time; when carrying non-OTT services, the bearer network allocates deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements to the service data through all network elements between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Figure 1 The Internet structure of the prior art. Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1, the Internet consists of two parts: one is business and applications (business network), and the other is the Internet's bearer network. The Internet needs to develop, progress, and continuously meet the needs of social development. As the types and scale of business network services expand, the Internet infrastructure is increasingly unable to meet development needs and has become a bottleneck for development.

[0036] The service network is responsible for the organization and operation of services and applications, and is the most active part of the Internet development. Since the birth of the Internet, countless services and applications have been realized. The service network is the main driving force for the development of the Internet. The bearer network is responsible for information transmission. Among them, the well-known IP network is a data network that provides end-to-end connection and "best effort" transmission capabilities. At present, the working mode of the service network in the Internet is the OTT (Over The Top) mode. The OTT mode refers to providing various application services to users through the Internet. This application is different from the communication services currently provided by operators. It only uses the operator's network, and the service is provided by a third party outside the operator. In addition to the unmanageable network space, the OTT mode is that the Internet's service network and bearer network are too thoroughly decoupled, so that services with "quality of service" requirements are difficult to provide. Although network light load is a way to improve service quality, the current ICT energy consumption is large, and network light load is not a long-term solution.

[0037] The bearer network consists of a transmission network and a data network. The data network is directly related to the Internet's business network. The transmission network solves point-to-point information communication problems and is the infrastructure for realizing information communication between data network elements. The bearer network and business network in the existing technology have no direct interface.

[0038] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the new information communication network of the present application. The embodiment of the present application proposes an information communication network, including a service network 210 and a bearer network 220. The service network is used to generate, organize, manage and control services / applications, and the bearer network provides the resources and necessary deterministic capabilities required for end-to-end service data transmission. The bearer network is used to access and transmit data packets generated by the service network, has wide connection and scalability, and has deterministic resource management capabilities for end-to-end service flows, provides deterministic data bearing and transmission to the service network, and can carry OTT services and non-OTT services at the same time; when carrying non-OTT services, all network elements of the bearer network between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data allocate deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements to the service data.

[0039] It should be noted that the bearer network provides the same access capabilities as the traditional Internet, and also provides end-to-end trust, security and determinism for the service network. The information communication network can support services that are completely decoupled from the service network and the bearer network (i.e., OTT services), and can also support services that have collaborative management, control, capabilities and resource requirements between the service network and the bearer network (i.e., non-OTT services). In this application, the deterministic resource management capability of end-to-end service flows refers to the ability to manage the resources required to ensure the determinism of end-to-end service flows.

[0040] The bearer network has an unlimited number of user access capabilities and / or an unlimited number of end-to-end user concurrent communication capabilities, and has a deterministic resource management capability for end-to-end service flows, providing deterministic data bearing and transmission for the service network.

[0041] Deterministic data bearing refers to bearing business data with deterministic requirements, achieving the determinism of business data bearing. Deterministic data transmission refers to transmitting business data with deterministic guarantee requirements, achieving the determinism of business data transmission. The information communication network described in this application is "centered on the bearer network" and supports deterministic routing; the business network requests the required resources by sending a deterministic resource request to the bearer network, and the bearer network feeds back resource status information based on the existing resources of all network elements between the sending end and the receiving end, obtains resource support provided by the bearer network, and provides quality-assured services.

[0042] in, The service network generates service requirements and sends a deterministic resource request to the bearer network. The deterministic resource request includes resource requirements and deterministic requirements for end-to-end service data. The deterministic requirements include deterministic requirements for services or required resources. For example, a deterministic service (e.g., a deterministic requirement indication of 1) refers to a service with specific deterministic requirements for service quality. In this way, a service without deterministic requirements (e.g., a deterministic requirement indication of 0) is a special case of a deterministic service.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the certainty includes one or more of the following: network transmission resource certainty, routing certainty, delay and jitter certainty, user experience certainty, and setting indication information of corresponding certainty requirements.

[0044] The network transmission resource determinism refers to the network providing deterministic end-to-end transmission resources for the service.

[0045] The network performance determinism refers to the network providing deterministic end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet loss rate for services.

[0046] The routing determinism mentioned above refers to that the data network provides a certain transmission path for business data.

[0047] The delay and jitter determinism mentioned above refers to the network providing data transmission with deterministic delay and jitter guarantees for the services.

[0048] The user experience certainty refers to the user experience indicators of the network providing service requests for the service, including latency, jitter, etc.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, in response to the deterministic resource request, the bearer network determines whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the certainty of the resource demand, and feeds back resource status information; in response to the resource status information, the service network determines whether to establish a service connection and sends a service confirmation indication; in response to the service confirmation indication, the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

[0050] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, in response to the deterministic resource request, the bearer network determines that all network elements between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data meet the certainty of the resource demand, and feeds back first resource status information (for example, the indication information is 1); in response to the first resource status information, the service network determines to establish a service connection and sends a first service confirmation indication (for example, the indication information is 11); in response to the first service confirmation indication, the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the certainty and establishes a service connection.

[0051] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, in response to the deterministic resource request, the bearer network determines that the network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data do not meet the certainty of the resource demand, and feeds back the second resource status information (for example, the indication information is 0); in response to the second resource status information, the service network determines whether to establish a service connection, and sends a second service confirmation indication (for example, the indication information is 10); in response to the second service confirmation indication not to establish a service connection, the bearer network terminates or prohibits the allocation of network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data. In response to the second service confirmation indication to establish a service link, the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data, and at this time, at least a part of the allocated network resources is not deterministic.

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, after the service is completed, the service network determines to cancel the service connection and sends a third service confirmation indication (for example, the indication information is 00) to instruct the removal of the service connection; in response to the third service confirmation indication, the bearer network releases the network resources allocated for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

[0053] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the data network in the bearer network adopts decentralized resource management; the resource management component is used to receive the deterministic resource request information of the resource demand or the service confirmation indication, and allocate network resources for non-OTT service data transmission to meet the determinism in all network elements on at least one connection between the start and end points of the service data. When the network resources cannot meet the requirements, the service cannot be established and the service network service stops.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention proposes a system and implementation method of a new type of information communication network, which is an information communication network based on a new generation of data network. The new type of information communication network includes a new type of service network and a new type of data network.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the bearer network includes a data network for bearing the service network. The data network may be an IP network or a non-IP network.

[0056] The bearer network also includes a transmission network for bearing the data network. The data network in this application retains the connectionless communication mechanism of the data network in the prior art, and provides "wide connection" capability. The data network has unlimited user access capability and unlimited end-to-end user concurrent communication capability, and has deterministic resource management capability for end-to-end business flows, providing deterministic data bearing and transmission to the business network. At the same time, the new data network has the following built-in capabilities: built-in perception and control capabilities of network resources, built-in network determinism (including: network performance determinism, routing determinism, latency determinism, and user experience determinism, etc.), resource-controllable virtual network (VPN) capabilities, and resource-controllable multicast capabilities.

[0057] As an optimized embodiment of the present application, the service network initiates end-to-end services and sends the resource requirements of end-to-end service data to the bearer network; all network elements on at least one connection between the start and end points of the service data of the bearer network allocate resources that meet the deterministic requirements for non-OTT service data transmission. When network resources cannot meet the requirements, non-OTT services cannot be established, and the non-OTT service network service cannot be established.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the data information sent by the sending end of the service network includes a destination address, service data, and resource requirements and deterministic requirements of the end-to-end service data.

[0059] Based on the above deterministic resource provision capabilities, resource-controllable virtual network (VPN) capabilities and resource-controllable multicast capabilities can also be provided.

[0060] Through the above-mentioned interaction process, different from the prior art, this application establishes an information communication network "centered on the bearer network". That is to say, the premise of establishing an end-to-end service channel in the service network is that the bearer network provides deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements. The prior art is an information communication network centered on the service network. The service network sends the service data channel and the start and end address information of data transmission to the bearer network (IP network). The bearer network adopts a "best effort" method to transmit the data information received from the service network to the receiving terminal of the service network. It should be noted that on the basis of providing deterministic network resources for at least part of the services, it does not rule out the use of traditional methods to carry some services.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, there is a resource information interaction interface 230 between the service network and the bearer network to ensure that the service network can effectively use the capabilities of the bearer network. The interface is used for: the service network sends a deterministic resource request and / or a service confirmation indication for end-to-end service data to the bearer network, the deterministic resource request includes the resource requirements and deterministic requirements of the end-to-end service data, and / or the bearer network sends feedback information (resource status information) to the service network to confirm whether the service data can be allocated with deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements and allocate network resources to meet the determinism. When the network resources cannot meet the determinism of the end-to-end service data, the bearer network sends feedback information to the service network to inform that the resource requirements of the end-to-end service data cannot be met. And the service network sends indication information to the bearer network to end the end-to-end service data; the bearer network sends confirmation information to the service network to release the deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements allocated to the service data.

[0062] It should be noted that when the service network and the bearer network in the current Internet communicate, there is no interaction of resource information and deterministic capability information between the service network and the bearer network, and the bearer network cannot guarantee the service quality of the service. The new service network and the new bearer network in the new information communication network proposed by the present invention have a resource information interaction interface and a deterministic capability information interaction interface. When the new service network sending terminal sends data information to the new bearer network, in addition to the start and end addresses and service data, it also carries the service corresponding to the service data. The network resource demand information and deterministic demand information, after receiving the data information sent by the service sending terminal, the new bearer network allocates corresponding network resources for service data transmission between the start and end points of the service data transmission according to the received service data’s demand for network resources and determinism, and transmits the received data information to the service network receiving end through the service data channel on the premise of ensuring the service data’s demand for network resources, thereby ensuring the service quality required by the service network. Specifically, it can be implemented in a centralized management and control manner or in a distributed control manner.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, the data network element of the bearer network includes a decentralized resource management component 240 to manage transmission resources in a decentralized manner; the resource management component is used to receive the deterministic resource demand information or service confirmation indication information, and is also used to allocate network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the determinism. Preferably, all network elements between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data allocate network resources that meet the determinism for non-OTT service data transmission. When the network resources cannot meet the requirements, the service cannot be established.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the service network is an application network for audio, video and / or data services in the OTT mode. However, it should be noted that the main working mode of the service network of the present application should be a mode designed and developed with the support of a new data network (non-OTT mode). In this mode, the service network and the data network are still decoupled, and the design and development freedom and flexibility of the service network are the same as those in the OTT mode. The service network and the data network have interfaces so that the design and development of the service network can make full use of the capabilities of the data network, thereby greatly reducing the complexity of the service network development and greatly improving the user experience of service applications.

[0065] This application transforms the Internet from a "business-centric" one to a "bearing network-centric" one, breaking through the existing Internet design concept and being a breakthrough and innovation in design concept.

[0066] It should be noted that the “business” in this application can be any of the following: Interactive services: conversational, message-based and query-based. Conversational services provide end-to-end two-way real-time communication between users and between users and the network, such as telephone, video conferencing, high-capacity file transfer, real-time control, remote sensing survey, alarm, medical image transfer, remote gaming, etc. Message-based services complete communication between users through storage units, mailboxes and / or message processing units with storage and forwarding, such as electronic video mailbox services, e-mail, etc. Query-based services refer to users querying information stored in the information center, and the information center sends the information to users on demand. The information can be moving pictures, images, documents, data, etc.

[0067] Distributed services: point-to-multipoint communication and one-way information exchange, including two types: without individual user expression control and with individual user expression control. Distributed services / applications without individual user expression control provide a continuous stream of information to authorized users, who can access the information at any time but cannot decide or control it, such as TV programs, electronic newspapers, electronic publications, etc. Distributed services / applications with individual user expression control also provide information from a central source to many authorized users at the same time, but the information is provided to users as an orderly entity loop, and users can control the information, such as full-channel videotext broadcasting, remote teaching and training, electronic advertising, etc.

[0068] Value-added services: Value-added services are broadly divided into two categories: one is services that appear in the form of value-added networks (VANs). Value-added networks can use the transmission equipment rented from the public network and use the department's switches, computers and other special equipment to form a private network to meet the needs of the department. The other refers to services developed in addition to the basic services of the original communication network (telephone and telegraph services), such as database retrieval, data processing, electronic data interchange, electronic mailboxes, electronic directory inquiries and electronic file transmission.

[0069] Internet business: Online business refers to business activities based on the network and the Internet. Generally speaking, online business covers the sale of goods and services, web design, online advertising, social media marketing, e-commerce, online financial services, online education, entertainment activities, and other technology and data services on the Internet, such as the transmission of streaming video.

[0070] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the information communication method of the present application. The embodiment of the present application also proposes an information communication method, using the information communication network described in any embodiment of the present application, the method includes a combination of at least part of the following steps 310 to 360: Step 310: Determine the service network destination address, resource requirements and deterministic requirements of end-to-end service data.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the following steps are also included: after determining the resource requirements, the service network end device sends the service network start and end addresses and / or service data generated by the service network to the bearer network device connected thereto.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, the following steps are also included: after determining the resource demand, the service network end device sends the information of the resource demand to the bearer network device and / or bearer network resource management component connected thereto.

[0073] Step 320: Determine a data network device in the bearer network that works in collaboration with the service network and has corresponding capabilities.

[0074] Step 330: In response to the resource demand, the data network element between the starting and ending points of the service data allocates network resources for the service data (eg, non-OTT service data) transmission to meet certainty, or feeds back information that the resource demand cannot be met.

[0075] The data network adopts distributed resource management. In order to respond to the non-OTT service resource requirements, all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data allocate network resources for non-OTT service data transmission to meet the deterministic requirements; if the network resources cannot meet the deterministic requirements, feedback is given to the non-OTT service network that it cannot provide services for the service network's service.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the following steps are also included: Step 340: In response to the resource demand, network resources are allocated for service data transmission between the start and end points of the service data to meet deterministic failure; the service network service is terminated.

[0077] For example, in response to the resource demand, all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data fail to allocate resources that meet the deterministic requirements for non-OTT service data transmission; and the service network service is terminated.

[0078] It should be noted that when the service network updates the destination address, steps 310 to 340 are implemented again. Step 330 and step 340 are mutually optional steps. Preferably, the device of the present application supports steps 330 and 340. For example, when establishing a service network connection once, step 330 is executed, and when attempting to establish a service network connection another time, step 340 is executed because the bearer network fails to provide deterministic network resources.

[0079] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes the following steps (not shown in the figure): Step 350: The service network generates and sends service data, and the service data is transmitted to the service data receiving end via all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data; Step 360: The service data transmission ends, and all network elements between the starting and ending points of the service data (on at least one connection) release the deterministic network resources allocated for the service data transmission that meet the resource requirements.

[0080] Figure 4 The flowchart of the embodiment of the information communication method of the present application used in the service network side. The embodiment of the present application also proposes an information communication method used in the service network side, including the following steps 410-440.

[0081] Step 410: Generate business requirements for non-OTT services and send a deterministic resource request, which includes resource requirements and deterministic requirements for end-to-end business data.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the deterministic resource request is transmitted in a service data channel, and the service data channel includes a destination address, service data, and resource requirements and deterministic requirements of the end-to-end service data.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, the deterministic resource request is transmitted via a resource information interaction interface between the service network and the bearer network, and the management information or control signaling includes the destination address and the resource requirements and deterministic requirements of the end-to-end service data.

[0084] Step 420: Receive resource status information, where the resource status information includes indication information on whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the certainty.

[0085] In one embodiment, first resource status information is received, which includes an indication of the certainty that network resources exist between a sender and a receiver of service data to meet the resource demand; In one embodiment, second resource status information is received, which includes a deterministic indication that network resources between a sending end and a receiving end of the service data do not meet the resource requirement.

[0086] Step 430: Determine whether to establish a service connection in response to the resource status information.

[0087] The resource status information includes deterministic indication information of whether the resource requirements are met between the sender and the receiver of the service data. In response to the first resource status information, determining to establish a service connection; In response to the second resource status information, determine to establish a service connection; or, in response to the second resource status information, determine not to establish a service connection.

[0088] Step 440: Send a service confirmation instruction; the service confirmation instruction includes instruction information for determining whether to establish a service connection. Specifically: In one embodiment, a first service confirmation indication is sent when it is determined to establish a service connection; the first service confirmation indication includes indication information indicating that a data network of the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between a sending end and a receiving end of the service data to meet certainty.

[0089] In another embodiment, a second service confirmation indication is sent when determining the state of establishing the service connection; the second service confirmation indication includes indication information indicating whether the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

[0090] In another embodiment, the status of establishing a service connection is determined based on the second resource confirmation information, or the service data transmission is completed, and a third service confirmation indication is sent; the third service confirmation indication includes indication information instructing the bearer network to release the network resources allocated for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

[0091] In various embodiments of the present application, after the service connection is established, the service data is transmitted to the service data receiving end via all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data; when the service data transmission is completed, the service network side issues a third service confirmation indication, requiring all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data to release the deterministic network resources allocated for the service data transmission that meet the resource requirements.

[0092] Regarding the transmission mode of these service indications, in one embodiment of the present application, the service confirmation indication is transmitted in a service data channel, and the service data channel includes service data and the service confirmation indication. In another embodiment of the present application, the service confirmation indication is transmitted via the mutual interface between the service network and the bearer network, and the service confirmation indication is included in the management information or control signaling.

[0093] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the information communication method of the present application used on the bearer network side. The present application embodiment also proposes an information communication method, which is used on the bearer network side, comprising the following steps 510-540: Step 510: Receive a deterministic resource request, which includes resource requirements and deterministic requirements for end-to-end service data. The determinism includes one or more of the following: network transmission resource determinism, routing determinism, delay and jitter determinism, and user experience determinism.

[0094] Step 520: In response to the deterministic resource request, determine whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the determinism, and feed back resource status information.

[0095] Specifically, for example: In response to the deterministic resource request, determining that there are network resources between a sending end and a receiving end of the service data to satisfy the determinism, and feeding back first resource status information; In response to the deterministic resource request, it is determined that the network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data do not meet the certainty of the resource demand, and second resource status information is fed back.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present application, the deterministic resource request is transmitted in a service data channel, and the resource status information is included in the feedback of the service data.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present application, the deterministic resource request is transmitted via an interactive interface between the service network and the bearer network, and the resource status information is also transmitted via the interactive interface.

[0098] Step 530: Receive a service confirmation indication, which includes indication information on whether to establish a service connection.

[0099] Specifically, for example: After feeding back the first resource status information, receiving a first service confirmation indication, which includes indication information for confirming to establish a service connection; After feeding back the second resource status information, receiving a second service confirmation indication, which includes indication information on whether to determine to establish the service connection; After the second resource status information is fed back or after the service transmission is completed, a third service confirmation indication is received, which includes an indication for canceling the service connection.

[0100] Step 540: In response to the service confirmation indication, allocate network resources for the service data or release network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data.

[0101] In response to the first service confirmation indication, network resources are allocated for the service data between a sending end and a receiving end of the service data to meet determinism.

[0102] In response to the second service confirmation indication, the bearer network allocates or does not allocate network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data. For example, in response to the second service confirmation indication not establishing a service connection, the bearer network terminates or prohibits allocating network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data. In response to the second service confirmation indication establishing a service link, the bearer network allocates network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data, and at this time, at least a part of the allocated network resources is not deterministic.

[0103] In response to the third service confirmation indication, the network resources allocated for the service data are released between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data. That is, after receiving the service data sending end information sent by the service network, all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the service data of the bearer network release the deterministic network resources that meet the resource requirements allocated for the service data transmission; the service network service ends.

[0104] In one embodiment, the bearer network has an unlimited number of user access capabilities and / or an unlimited number of end-to-end user concurrent communication capabilities, and has deterministic resource management capabilities for end-to-end service flows, providing deterministic data bearing and transmission to the service network.

[0105] In any method embodiment of the present application, the service network is an audio, video and / or data service network in OTT mode or non-OTT mode.

[0106] In any method embodiment of the present application, the bearer network includes a transport network and a data network, the transport network is used for point-to-point connection of data network elements, and the data network is an IP network or a non-IP network, supporting OTT and / or non-OTT services.

[0107] Figure 6 This is a service network side device embodiment of the present application. This embodiment of the present application also proposes a service network side device 600 of an information communication network, which is used to implement the method described in any embodiment of the third aspect of the present application, including: The service side sending module 610 is used to send a deterministic resource request and / or a service confirmation indication, wherein the deterministic resource request includes resource requirements and deterministic requirements of end-to-end service data; and the service confirmation indication includes indication information for determining whether to establish a service connection. The service side receiving module 620 is used to receive resource status information, wherein the resource status information includes information indicating whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the deterministic requirements; The service side determination module 630 is used to determine whether to establish a service connection in response to the resource status information.

[0108] Figure 7 This is an embodiment of the bearer network side data network element device of the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application also proposes a bearer network side data network element device 700 of an information communication network, which is used to implement the method described in any embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present application, including: The bearer side receiving module 710 is used to receive a deterministic resource request and / or a service confirmation indication, wherein the deterministic resource request includes resource requirements and deterministic requirements of end-to-end service data; and the service confirmation indication includes indication information of whether to establish a service connection. The bearer side determination module 720 is used to determine whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the certainty, and, in response to the service confirmation indication, allocate network resources for the service data between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data, terminate / prohibit the allocation of network resources, or release network resources; The bearer side sending module 730 is used to send resource status information, where the resource status information includes indication information on whether there are network resources between the sending end and the receiving end of the service data to meet the certainty.

[0109] Figure 8 This application implements an embodiment of a network video conferencing system based on cloud computing. In the application scenario of video conferencing service quality assurance, video conferencing business refers to the application of interactive video, audio, pictures and text between multiple devices distributed in different locations. The video conferencing equipment uses the transmission capacity of the bearer network to send the video, audio collected or prepared by the equipment and the pictures or text prepared by the user to be sent to other user devices participating in the meeting according to the settings of the user using the equipment, so as to realize the conference function similar to the on-site meeting.

[0110] Taking the video conference system based on cloud computing as an example, the conference control server 810 and the media server 820 and the user terminal that constitute the conference system are connected to the data bearer network (IP network / new data network), and the user terminal makes reservations and joins conferences with the conference control server. The conference control server, media server and related user terminals constitute the node devices of the business network.

[0111] In the prior art, when an IP network is used as a data network in a bearer network, during a conference, a user terminal uploads information about turning on / off voice, turning on / off video, sharing / ending shared screen, and whether to watch video information of other participating users to the conference control server, and the user terminal uploads its own voice, video, and shared screen information to the media server. During a video conference, the conference controller sends the information it receives from all participants to the media server, and the media server processes the information received from all user terminals and sends it to each participating user terminal based on the voice / video and shared screen status of each participating user terminal sent by the conference control server, as well as the status of other users' video information to be watched. At this time, the bearer network does not guarantee the network resources for data transmission between the user terminal and the media server. In other words, the quality of service of the video conference is not guaranteed.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present application, when a new data network plus a transmission network is used as a bearer network, the new data network includes a distributed resource management and control system 830 (i.e., the resource management component 240 in the aforementioned embodiment) for supporting video conferencing. When the video conferencing user terminal completes the conference reservation with the conference control server, and during the meeting, the conference terminal joins the conference system, and the video conferencing terminal uploads information such as the terminal's capabilities to the conference controller. During the establishment of the video conferencing service, the conference control server 810 sends the conference service's resource demand information for the bearer network to the new data network. After receiving the information sent by the conference control server, the resource management and control system 830 allocates the deterministic resources for all network elements on at least one connection between the start and end points of the conference service data for non-OTT service data transmission based on the received service's demand for network resources. After the resource information interaction interface feeds back confirmation information, the video conferencing user terminal uploads voice, video, shared screen and other data information to the media server, and the media server distributes the processed voice, video and shared screen information received from each video conferencing user terminal to the user terminals participating in the conference through the network resources allocated by the new data network resource management and control system.

[0113] In a further optimized embodiment of the present application, during a meeting, the user terminal can choose to send control information of voice on / off, video on / off, and shared screen on / off to the conference control server. The video conference control server can send the network resource demand information of the ongoing meeting to the resource management and control system of the new data network at any time. The network resource management and control system can allocate corresponding network resources to the conference system at any time according to the needs of the meeting to ensure the service quality of the conference business.

[0114] Fig. 9 This is an industrial Internet system implementation for real-time control in this application. As a real-time control application scenario, there are a large number of real-time control requirements with very strict latency requirements in the field of industrial Internet, usually requiring end-to-end latency to be within 50ms. This requires the bearer network to provide a deterministic transmission channel that guarantees latency.

[0115] In the traditional information communication network environment, since the network cannot provide service quality guarantees with certain time requirements, this type of industrial control is basically carried out in a local private network, and it is impossible to use remote public information communication networks to implement industrial control applications with high real-time requirements.

[0116] The implementation method for this scenario in the present invention is as follows: the new service network includes a control terminal 910 and a controlled terminal 920. Any terminal device automatically identifies the specific requirements of the user's real-time control application for end-to-end delay, and converts the requirements into network resource requirements that can be understood by the new data network in the bearer network. For example, the control terminal 910 registers with the resource management and control system 940 of the new data network 930 to apply for the use of network resources with such services. When the control terminal uses the service, the new data network allocates deterministic resources that meet the said for non-OTT service data transmission to all network elements on at least one connection between the starting and ending points of the control service data. The user sends the control information to be transmitted to the controlled terminal on the network resources with guaranteed quality to ensure the service quality of the control information.
