Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for acquiring computing resources. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technology, the types of user services are becoming more and more diverse, and the service demands on base stations are also growing. For example, the demand for computing resources of base stations.

[0003] At present, in order to meet the computing power requirements of user services for base stations, computing power sharing is established between base stations. Idle base stations with surplus computing power resources (i.e., computing power sharing base stations) can provide computing power resources for base stations lacking computing power resources (i.e., computing power demand base stations), thereby meeting the computing power resource requirements of user services for computing power demand base stations.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, due to the adjacent deployment of base stations in an area, there may be multiple computing power sharing base stations around the computing power demand base station, so that the computing power demand base station needs to search all computing power sharing base stations in turn to obtain the computing power resources shared by one of the computing power sharing base stations, thereby reducing the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources shared between base stations has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

Send computing power demand information to at least one first shared base station, the computing power demand information is used to indicate the demand for computing power resources. Obtain computing power resources shared by a target shared base station in at least one first shared base station, and the available computing power resources in the target shared base station meet the demand for computing power resources indicated by the computing power demand information.

[0008] The technical solution provided by the present application brings at least the following beneficial effects: the computing power demand base station compares the computing power idle period of each computing power sharing base station with its own computing power demand period, obtains at least one computing power sharing base station with the same computing power idle period and computing power demand period as the computing power demand base station, and reports the computing power demand information for requesting computing power resources to the computing power sharing base station. Then. The computing power demand base station can select a computing power sharing base station whose available computing power resources can meet the computing power resource demand indicated by the computing power demand information from the computing power sharing base station as the target shared base station, and obtain the computing power resources of the target shared base station. In this way, the computing power demand base station can screen multiple computing power sharing base stations based on the application period of the computing power resource demand, narrow the search range of the shared base stations that can meet the demand, so as to quickly obtain the shared computing power resources from the shared base stations that can meet the demand, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources.

[0038] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present concepts in a specific way.

[0039] Before introducing in detail the method for acquiring computing resources provided in the embodiments of the present application, the implementation environment and application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0040] First, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are introduced.

[0041] After vigorously developing the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G), my country has basically achieved continuous 5G coverage in townships and above and effective coverage of hot administrative villages, and the large-scale construction of the public network has been basically completed. With the outbreak of artificial intelligence, new technologies and applications of 5G base station artificial intelligence continue to emerge, such as the realization of intelligent business perception, intelligent prediction, digital twins and other intelligent capabilities of wireless access networks on the wireless base station side. On the one hand, it can dynamically arrange mobile communication technology resources, adjust and optimize the network structure, and on the other hand, it can continuously improve 5G capabilities and enhance the 5G network's ability to guarantee new services, thereby stimulating 5G network capabilities and further enhancing the value of 5G networks. At the current stage of 5G enhanced version (5G advanced, 5G-A), computing power is generally provided for intelligent functions in the form of external intelligent boards (i.e., intelligent network interface cards) on base stations.

[0042] At present, the development of information technology (IT) technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data has spawned a wealth of new scenarios and new use cases in the industry. Perception, computing, and intelligence will be important technical components of the new systems of 5G-A and the sixth generation mobile communication technology (6G). Many business applications in 5G-A and 6G scenarios have the characteristics of intensive computing and extreme performance, such as artificial intelligence (AI) over air interface, data service identification and optimization, extended reality (XR) services, industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, drone supervision, etc. The current network cannot provide computing services on demand for the network itself and users while efficiently ensuring user experience. In the 5G-A stage, the wireless computing network architecture focuses on computing-network collaborative management, mainly based on the current 5G network system superimposed computing power, considering the coordination with the existing 5G system, plug-in centralized computing power orchestration management functions, and expand the existing network protocol to fully utilize the idle computing power resources of the wireless access network. The computing power platform provided by the smart board can realize the functions of some computing power services. When the smart board has surplus computing power resources, it can consider providing computing power services to surrounding base stations through computing power sharing.

[0043] The main deployment methods of smart boards are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the smart board is inserted into the free slot of the baseband unit (BBU) in the form of a board, and is connected and data exchanged with other base station main control boards in a region through the Xn interface (an important channel for communication between 5G new wireless access networks). In this way, a series of intelligent functions such as service identification, resource application perception, service experience guarantee, resource scheduling optimization, etc. of all base stations in the region can be realized, and network performance and user experience can be improved. Intelligent optimization of network performance is mainly used in high-load, high-capacity, and multi-interference scenarios, such as large gatherings, large concerts, sports events, etc., and the plug-in and unplug of the smart board requires the base station to be powered off and restarted. Therefore, in the existing network, when the utilization rate of the uplink and downlink physical resource blocks (PRBs) is low and the number of users is small, the network resources are not limited, and the user experience is good, the optimization effect is not obvious, and the smart board will generate excess computing power. At present, business scenarios such as XR services, industrial Internet, and Internet of Vehicles require higher computing power and high latency requirements. Therefore, it is possible to consider sharing the computing power of the smart board during idle periods to maximize the utilization of computing power resources.

[0044] However, due to the adjacent deployment of base stations in an area, there may be multiple computing power sharing base stations around the computing power demand base station, so that the computing power demand base station needs to search all computing power sharing base stations in turn to obtain the computing power resources shared by one of the computing power sharing base stations, thereby reducing the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources.

[0045] To sum up, how to improve the efficiency of acquiring computing resources shared between base stations has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for obtaining computing power resources, and the method for obtaining computing power resources provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to the scene of obtaining computing power resources. In the embodiment of the present application, the computing power demand base station compares the computing power idle period of each computing power sharing base station with its own computing power demand period, obtains at least one computing power sharing base station with the same computing power idle period and computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station, and reports the computing power demand information for requesting computing power resources to the computing power sharing base station. Then. The computing power demand base station can select a computing power sharing base station whose available computing power resources can meet the computing power resource demand indicated by the computing power demand information from the computing power sharing base station as the target shared base station, and obtain the computing power resources of the target shared base station. In this way, the computing power demand base station can screen multiple computing power sharing base stations based on the application period of the computing power resource demand, narrow the search range of the shared base station that can meet the demand, so as to quickly obtain the shared computing power resources from the shared base station that can meet the demand, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources.

[0047] The implementation environment of the embodiments of the present application is introduced below.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the communication system may include: a computing power demand base station 201 and at least one computing power sharing base station (such as computing power sharing base station 202, computing power sharing base station 203, and computing power sharing base station 204). Among them, the computing power demand base station 201 can be connected to the computing power sharing base station 202, the computing power sharing base station 203, and the computing power sharing base station 204 by wire or wireless.

[0049] Specifically, the computing power demand base station 201 can match the computing power idle time periods of all computing power sharing base stations (such as computing power sharing base station 202, computing power sharing base station 203, and computing power sharing base station 204) based on its own computing power demand time period, and select at least one first shared base station (such as computing power sharing base station 202, computing power sharing base station 203, and computing power sharing base station 204) from all computing power sharing base stations. The computing power idle time period of each first shared base station is the same as the computing power demand time period of the computing power demand base station 201. Then, the computing power demand base station 201 can report the computing power demand information for requesting computing power resources to all first shared base stations. Then, the computing power demand base station 201 can select a first shared base station whose available computing power resources can meet the computing power resources indicated by the computing power demand information from all first shared base stations based on the response result of each first shared base station to the computing power demand information as the target shared base station, and obtain the computing power resources shared by the target shared base station.

[0050] The base station may include various forms of base stations, such as macro base stations, micro base stations (also called small stations), relay stations, access points, etc. Specifically, it may be an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN), a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (GSM) or code division multiple access (CDMA), a base station (NodeB, NB) in a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, as well as a base station in a future sixth generation mobile communication technology (6G) network or a base station in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN) network, etc.

[0051] After introducing the application scenarios and implementation environment of the embodiments of the present application, the method for obtaining computing power resources provided by the embodiments of the present application is introduced in detail in combination with the above-mentioned implementation environment.

[0052] The methods in the following embodiments can all be implemented in the above application scenarios and implementation environments. The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for acquiring computing resources provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include: S301-S303.

[0054] S301. Determine at least one first shared base station from a plurality of computing power shared base stations based on a computing power idle period of each computing power shared base station among the plurality of computing power shared base stations.

[0055] As a possible implementation method, the computing power demanding base station may determine at least one first shared base station from among the multiple computing power sharing base stations based on the computing power idle periods of each of the multiple computing power sharing base stations.

[0056] Among them, the computing power demand base station is a base station that needs computing power resources other than itself to meet the computing power demand of the computing power task when executing the computing power task.

[0057] For example, if base station A needs 20 megabytes of memory resources (i.e., computing power resources) when processing voice call services, and at this time base station A has only 15 megabytes of local available memory resources remaining, then base station A is a computing power-demanding base station, and base station A needs 5 megabytes of memory resources outside of itself to meet the voice call service's demand for 20 megabytes of memory resources.

[0058] A computing power sharing base station is a base station with idle computing power resources, and the computing power sharing base station can allocate the idle computing power resources to other base stations in the network that have computing power resource requirements (i.e., computing power demand base stations).

[0059] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of computing resources. For example, the computing resources may be resources of a central processing unit (CPU). For another example, the computing resources may be resources of a graphics processing unit (GPU). For another example, the computing resources may be resources of a memory hard disk.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, smart network interface cards (Smart NICs) are deployed in the computing power sharing base station, and the idle computing power resources of the computing power sharing base station are the remaining computing power resources in the smart network interface cards deployed by the computing power sharing base station.

[0061] That is to say, the computing power sharing base station can improve the utilization rate of the computing power resources in the intelligent network interface card by sharing and allocating the idle computing power resources in the intelligent network interface card to the base stations with computing power resource requirements.

[0062] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the computing power resources required by the computing power demand base station and the idle computing power resources of the computing power sharing base station are both computing power resources in the same computing power resource component.

[0063] Alternatively, the computing power resources required by the computing power demand base station and the idle computing power resources of the computing power sharing base station are computing power resources in different computing power resource components respectively.

[0064] Exemplarily, the computing power resources required by the computing power demand base station are the computing power resources required by the intelligent network interface card (i.e., the computing power resource component) in the computing power demand base station, and the idle computing power resources of the computing power sharing base station are the remaining computing power resources of the intelligent network interface card in the computing power sharing base station.

[0065] Alternatively, the computing power resources required by the computing power demand base station are the computing power resources required by the neural network processing unit (i.e., the computing power resource component) in the computing power demand base station, and the idle computing power resources of the computing power sharing base station are the remaining computing power resources of the tensor processing unit in the computing power sharing base station.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the computing power idle period is used to indicate a specific period of time when there are available idle computing power resources in the computing power sharing base station.

[0067] Exemplarily, the computing power sharing base stations include: base station A, base station B, and base station C. Among them, base station A has available idle computing power resources from 8 to 9 o'clock, base station B has available idle computing power resources from 8 to 10 o'clock, and base station C has available idle computing power resources from 9 to 11 o'clock. Then the computing power idle period of base station A is from 8 to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station B is from 8 to 10 o'clock, and the computing power idle period of base station C is from 9 to 11 o'clock.

[0068] As a possible implementation method, the computing power demand base station can send computing power request information for requesting shared computing power resources to multiple surrounding first base stations, so that each first base station determines whether it has idle computing power resources and the idle computing power period of the idle computing power resources, and feeds back the response result of the computing power request information to the computing power demand base station. Then, the computing power demand base station can use the first base station among the multiple first base stations that can feed back the idle computing power period as a computing power sharing base station to obtain the computing power idle period of each computing power sharing base station among the multiple computing power sharing base stations.

[0069] It should be noted that in the process of the computing power demand base station sending computing power request information to multiple first base stations, the computing power demand base station can send computing power request information to multiple first base stations among all preset base stations based on the distance between all surrounding preset base stations and itself. The distance between the first base station and the computing power demand base station is less than the preset distance threshold, and the distance between the computing power sharing base station and the computing power demand base station is also less than the preset distance threshold.

[0070] In other words, the computing power sharing base station is a base station within a certain range around the computing power demand base station, ensuring that the distance between the computing power sharing base station and the computing power demand base station does not exceed the set limit. The computing power demand base station can only request additional computing power resources within a limited range, avoiding endless long-distance computing power requests. This can reduce the time delay of intermediate transmission and improve the operating efficiency of computing power sharing tasks.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the computing power idle period of the first shared base station is the same as the computing power demand period of the computing power demanding base station.

[0072] It should be noted that the computing power demand period can be a period starting from the current time, which is used to start requesting computing power resources at the current time. Alternatively, the computing power demand period can also be a period in the future, which is used to reserve future computing power resources in advance.

[0073] As a possible implementation method, the computing power demand base station can match its own computing power demand period with the computing power idle period of each computing power sharing base station, and use the computing power sharing base station with the same computing power idle period and computing power demand period among multiple computing power sharing base stations as the first shared base station to obtain at least one first shared base station.

[0074] Exemplarily, if the computing power sharing base stations include: base station A, base station B, base station C, base station D and base station E. Among them, the computing power idle period of base station A is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station B is from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station C is from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station D is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station E is from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and the computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Then at least one first shared base station includes: base station A and base station D.

[0075] S302. Send computing power requirement information to at least one first shared base station.

[0076] Among them, the computing power demand information is used to indicate the demand for computing power resources.

[0077] It should be noted that the computing power demand information includes at least one of the following: the size of the computing power resources, the computing power request latency, the type of computing power resources, and the computing power transmission bandwidth.

[0078] Furthermore, the computing power demand information may include computing power resources from multiple different sources, and the computing power demand information includes the size of each computing power resource, computing power request latency, type of computing power resource, and computing power transmission bandwidth.

[0079] S303: Obtain computing resources shared by a target shared base station in at least one first shared base station.

[0080] Among them, the available computing power resources in the target shared base station meet the computing power resource requirements indicated by the computing power requirement information.

[0081] As a possible implementation method, the computing power demand base station can take the first shared base station among at least one first shared base station that can respond to the computing power demand information as the target shared base station, and obtain the computing power resources shared by the target shared base station.

[0082] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the response method of the computing power demand information. For example, the response method of the computing power demand information is to feedback an acknowledgement (ACK) message. For another example, the response method of the computing power demand information is not to feedback a negative acknowledgment (NAK) message. For another example, the response method of the computing power demand information is to feedback the required computing power resources.

[0083] Exemplarily, at least one first shared base station includes: base station A and base station B. The size of the idle computing power resources in the GPU of base station A is 2GB, and the size of the idle computing power resources in the GPU of base station B is 10GB. If the computing power demand information of the computing power demand base station is used to request 7GB computing power resources in the GPU, then the target shared base station is base station B.

[0084] As another possible implementation method, the computing power demand base station can send computing power demand information to at least one first shared base station in sequence, and if the first shared base station in the current order fails to respond to the computing power demand information, it will send the computing power demand information to the next first shared base station until the third shared base station (i.e., the first first shared base station that can respond to the computing power demand information) that first meets the demand for computing power resources indicated by the computing power demand information is determined among at least one first shared base station, and the third shared base station is used as the target shared base station to obtain the computing power resources shared by the target shared base station.

[0085] Exemplarily, at least one first shared base station may include: base station A, base station B and base station C. The size of the idle computing power resources in the GPU of base station A is 2GB, the size of the idle computing power resources in the GPU of base station B is 8GB, and the size of the idle computing power resources in the GPU of base station C is 9GB. If the computing power demand information of the computing power demand base station is used to request 7GB of computing power resources in the GPU, and the order of sending the computing power demand information to at least one first shared base station is: base station A-base station B-base station C, then the target shared base station is base station B.

[0086] That is to say, when the computing power demand base station requests computing power resources from the first shared base station, it adopts an orderly and sequential approach instead of requesting all the first shared base stations at one time. This ensures that the computing power demand base station only interacts with one first shared base station at a time, avoids too many base stations knowing the computing power demand base station's demand for sharing computing power resources, improves the security of the computing power sharing process, and avoids information leakage.

[0087] The technical solution provided by the above embodiment brings at least the following beneficial effects: the computing power demand base station compares the computing power idle period of each computing power sharing base station with its own computing power demand period, obtains at least one computing power sharing base station with the same computing power idle period and computing power demand period as the computing power demand base station, and reports the computing power demand information for requesting computing power resources to the computing power sharing base station. Then. The computing power demand base station can select a computing power sharing base station whose available computing power resources can meet the computing power resource demand indicated by the computing power demand information from the computing power sharing base station as the target shared base station, and obtain the computing power resources of the target shared base station. In this way, the computing power demand base station can screen multiple computing power sharing base stations based on the application period of the computing power resource demand, narrow the search range of the shared base stations that can meet the demand, so as to quickly obtain the shared computing power resources from the shared base stations that can meet the demand, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining computing power resources.

[0088] It should be noted that the above embodiment obtains computing power resources when the available computing power resources of at least one first shared base station meet the computing power resource requirements indicated by the computing power demand information. However, when the available computing power resources of the first shared base station do not meet the computing power resources indicated by the computing power demand information, it is necessary to search for other computing power sharing base stations until other computing power sharing base stations that can meet the computing power resources are found.

[0089] In some embodiments, if the available computing power resources of at least one first shared base station do not meet the computing power resource requirements indicated by the computing power requirement information, the computing power requirement base station can determine at least one second shared base station from other shared base stations among multiple computing power shared base stations except at least one first shared base station.

[0090] Among them, the computing power idle period of the second shared base station includes the computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station.

[0091] Exemplarily, the computing power sharing base stations include: base station A, base station B, base station C, base station D and base station E. Among them, the computing power idle period of base station A is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station B is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station C is from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station D is from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station E is from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and the computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, then at least one first shared base station includes: base station A and base station B. If the available computing power resources of base station A and base station B do not meet the computing power resource requirements indicated by the computing power demand information, then at least one second shared base station includes: base station D and base station E.

[0092] That is to say, when the available computing power resources of the first shared base station cannot meet the computing power resource requirements indicated by the computing power requirement information, the computing power requirement base station can select a base station whose computing power idle period includes the computing power requirement period among the computing power sharing base stations, and reselect other computing power sharing base stations that can provide support for the required computing power. In this way, even if all the first shared base stations cannot provide sufficient computing power support, the computing power requirement base station can still find suitable computing power resources in a larger range, ensuring that the computing power requirements are met in a timely manner and ensuring the smooth execution of computing power tasks.

[0093] It should be noted that the duration difference between the computing power idle period of the second shared base station and the computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station is less than the preset duration threshold.

[0094] Exemplarily, the other shared base stations in the multiple computing power sharing base stations except at least one first shared base station include: base station A, base station B and base station C. Among them, the computing power idle period of base station A is from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock, the computing power idle period of base station B is from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock, and the computing power idle period of base station C is from 7:45 to 9:30. If the computing power demand period of the computing power demand base station is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock, and the preset duration threshold is 1 hour, then at least one second shared base station may include: base station B and base station C.

[0095] It is understandable that the idle computing period of the second shared base station cannot exceed a specific time range, and the computing power demand base station cannot search for the computing power sharing base station indefinitely. This can not only improve the accuracy of resource matching, but also reduce the search time, avoid resource consumption and efficiency reduction caused by excessive search, and ensure that the computing power task can obtain the required computing power support in a timely manner.

[0096] The following is an introduction to the method for obtaining computing resources provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to specific examples. Figure 4 As shown, the steps include steps one to six.

[0097] Assume that in an area, there are: base station 1 (equivalent to the computing power demand base station) and base station 2 (equivalent to the first base station). Base station 1 can request computing power from surrounding base stations, base station 2 can provide computing power services to others, and a smart board is deployed in base station 2.

[0098] It should be noted that when the effect of intelligent optimization of network performance is not obvious, computing power can be shared by plugging the computing power of the smart board into the base station and establishing a signaling interaction process between base station 1 and base station 2 using the Xn interface, so that the computing power of the smart board can play a computing power service role, realize computing power sharing service, and provide computing power for surrounding base stations.

[0099] Step 1: If base station 1 needs computing power services to perform a large amount of calculations, it initiates a computing power request to base station 2 through the Xn interface (equivalent to the above-mentioned computing power demand base station sending computing power request information to the first base station).

[0100] Step 2: Base station 2 evaluates whether there is spare computing power, and determines the corresponding computing power idle period if there is spare computing power. If there is no spare computing power, base station 2 will feedback that the request is not accepted (i.e., the request failed, which is equivalent to the first base station's response result to the computing power request information being NAK); if there is, base station 2 will determine the corresponding computing power idle period and feedback the parameter reporting requirement (i.e., the request is successful, which is equivalent to the first base station's response result to the computing power request information being ACK, and including the above-mentioned feedback computing power idle period).

[0101] Step three, base station 1 processes the feedback information from base station 2. If the feedback indicates that there is no spare computing power, a request end message is sent to base station 2. If a parameter reporting request is received, computing power requirement information is reported to base station 2, including but not limited to the required computing power size, latency requirements, etc. (equivalent to sending computing power requirement information to at least one first shared base station).

[0102] Step 4: Base station 2 receives computing power demand information from base station 1. If base station 2 does not receive computing power demand information reported by base station 1 within the preset time detection range, it sends computing power request failure information to base station 1; if base station 2 receives computing power demand information reported by base station 1 within the preset time detection range, it sends computing power request success information to base station 1.

[0103] In other words, by setting the time for reporting computing power demand information, it is determined whether the computing power request can be responded to within the preset time detection range. This can avoid long waiting times and quickly obtain corresponding feedback results.

[0104] Step 5: Base station 1 starts the timer and informs base station 2, and starts waiting for base station 2 to respond to the computing power demand information.

[0105] Step 6. Base station 2 evaluates whether the computing power resources meet the requirements. If so, it will feedback the acceptance request (that is, the computing power request is successful, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned ability to respond to the computing power demand information); if not, it will feedback the request failure information (that is, the computing power request failed, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned failure to respond to the computing power demand information).
