[0130] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0131] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for configuring a wireless computing power network architecture provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of this application provides a method for configuring a wireless computing power network architecture. The execution subject thereof may be an electronic device, and the method includes:

[0132] Step 101: Determine a wireless computing power network architecture that integrates a wireless access network and a computing power network.

[0133] Step 102: Configure based on the determined wireless computing power network architecture; the types of the wireless computing power network architecture include an external-mounted wireless computing power network architecture, an endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, or a fusion wireless computing power network architecture.

[0134] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, focusing on the integration of a wireless access network and a computing power network, a wireless computing power network architecture is proposed. According to different wireless computing power network architectures, an external-mounted wireless computing power network architecture, an endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, and a fusion wireless computing power network architecture are designed. Through this architecture, it is possible to better support the computing power service orchestration and management of the radio access network (RAN) and the terminal / user equipment (UE) on the wireless side, ensure the sharing of computing power resources on the RAN, UE, and other radio access network sides, and improve the resource utilization rate of the radio access network side.

[0135] For example, in the initial stage of the integrated development of a wireless access network and a computing power network, an external-mounted wireless computing power network architecture can be adopted. By using this architecture, the relevant functions of the integration of the wireless access network and the computing power network can be realized with minor network function adjustments, and it has good forward compatibility.

[0136] For another example, in the mid-term of the integrated development of a wireless access network and a computing power network, an endogenous wireless computing power network architecture can be adopted. By using this architecture, appropriate adjustments to the network functions are made to realize the relevant functions of the integration of the wireless access network and the computing power network, and it has good forward and backward compatibility.

[0137] For another example, in the later stage of the integrated development of the wireless access network and the computing power network, a converged wireless computing power network architecture can be adopted. Adopting this architecture to fully integrate the wireless access network and the computing power network has higher efficiency.

[0138] It should be noted that: even in the middle and later stages of the integrated development, the deployment of an external wireless computing power network architecture is also supported. Which network architecture to specifically adopt depends on the situation and is not limited here.

[0139] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the external wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the external wireless computing power network architecture includes a wireless infrastructure layer, a computing power orchestration management layer, and an application layer. The external wireless computing power network architecture adopts a centralized architecture, and the centralized computing power orchestration management layer is deployed externally. The computing power orchestration management layer is deployed in the computing power orchestration management center, and is used to manage the wireless access network computing power nodes and / or computing power services. The management content includes: computing power registration, computing power status perception, service orchestration and scheduling, computing network operation and maintenance, security management, etc.

[0140] When implemented on the control plane of the Central Unit (CU) on the RAN side, it can be proxied by a Proxy server, and signaling / data interaction with the centralized computing power orchestration management layer is achieved through the Proxy.

[0141] The application layer includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, eXtended Reality (XR) applications, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications, etc.

[0142] When implemented, the computing power orchestration management layer can be an independent functional module / system, or a new network function added to the core network, or a new functional module such as the Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC) of the wireless network management layer, etc., which is not limited here.

[0143] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the signaling interaction for computing power registration under the external wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, under the external wireless computing power network architecture, the specific steps for computing power registration (initial registration and periodic status perception) are as follows:

[0144] (1) Computing power node initial registration process

[0145] 1. RAN, as a computing power node, can be called a wireless access network computing power node. Send a computing power registration request to the computing power orchestration management layer through the Proxy of RAN-CU. The request carries node computing power information, including one or more of the following: computing power node indication, computing power authentication data, computing power node type, computing power size, computing power node location, computing power services deployed on the computing power node, etc.;

[0146] 2. The computing power orchestration management layer verifies the computing power authentication data based on the received request, assigns computing power node identifiers to the nodes that have passed the verification, and incorporates the nodes that have passed the verification into the computing power resource pool for management;

[0147] 3. The computing power orchestration management layer feeds back the registration response to the RAN to implement the initial registration of the computing power node.

[0148] (II) Process of reporting periodic status data of computing power nodes

[0149] 4. (Optional) The computing power orchestration management layer sends computing power sensing tasks to the RAN and sets the sensing cycle.

[0150] 5. RAN periodically reports computing power status data based on the sensing cycle.

[0151] It should be noted that the periodic status data reporting of computing power nodes can be divided into two modes: active and passive. The active mode does not execute step 4. After RAN registration, the computing power status data is actively and periodically reported. The passive mode executes step 4. The computing power orchestration management layer issues computing power perception tasks, triggering RAN to passively and periodically report computing power status data.

[0152] In addition to realizing computing power service awareness through computing power registration and computing power awareness, the computing power orchestration management layer can also realize computing power service awareness through the computing power service discovery function.

[0153] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of computing service discovery / update signaling interaction under the external wireless computing network architecture provided by the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, under the external wireless computing power network architecture, the steps of computing power service discovery / update are as follows:

[0154] 0. The computing power node has been registered;

[0155] 1. The computing power orchestration management layer actively detects (in real time or periodically) the resource status of the RAN (including the deployment status of computing power services) to achieve the discovery of available computing power services of the RAN;

[0156] 2. After detecting the computing service, the computing orchestration management layer stores / updates the relevant information to the computing resource pool.

[0157] Figure 5It is a schematic diagram of signaling interaction for computing service orchestration in an external wireless computing power network architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, under the external wireless computing power network architecture, the specific steps of computing service orchestration are as follows:

[0158] 0. The computing power orchestration management layer receives a service requirement (a service requirement from the application layer or a service requirement triggered by the UE), parses the requirement and maps resources, and orchestrates computing services.

[0159] The user service requirement includes one or more of the following information: user identification, user type, user level, service type, required computing power resource type, required computing power resource size, required computing service type, computing power usage time, etc.

[0160] 1-1. When the computing power on the RAN side can meet the requirement, orchestrate the computing power service on the RAN side, generate a computing power scheduling policy, and send it to the corresponding computing power node.

[0161] 1-2. When the computing power on the RAN side does not fully meet the requirement, orchestrate the computing power service of cloud-edge-end collaboration, generate a computing power scheduling policy, and send it to the corresponding computing power node.

[0162] 2. The computing power orchestration management layer responds to the user with the orchestration result, and sends the scheduling policy to the RAN and / or the core network (such as the Policy Control Function (PCF), Session Management Function (SMF), etc.) for execution.

[0163] Figure 6 It is one of the schematic diagrams of the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture includes a wireless infrastructure layer, a computing power orchestration management layer, and an application layer. Based on the distributed architecture of the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, an endogenous wireless computing power orchestration management module is distributedly deployed in the RAN, and a globally managed computing power orchestration management layer is optionally deployed centrally.

[0164] Among them, the endogenous wireless computing power orchestration management module distributedly deployed on each RAN CU can be a lightweight computing power orchestration management layer or a full-scale computing power orchestration management layer, realizing the computing power management of this computing power node and local computing power service orchestration.

[0165] The centralized computing power orchestration management layer can realize global wireless computing power service orchestration management and cross-RAN coordination.

[0166] Between RANs, computing power information is announced / interacted through the endogenous wireless computing power orchestration management module.

[0167] Figure 7 This is the second schematic diagram of the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, for radio access networks with base station relays such as Mobile Base Station Relay (MBSR) and Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), a centrally controlled wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) can be deployed at the parent base station node, and an endogenous wireless computing power orchestration and management module (distributed) can be deployed distributively in the relay base stations and / or child base stations accessing the parent base station node. Optionally, a globally managed computing power orchestration management layer can be deployed centrally.

[0168] Among them, a centralized computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) can be endogenously deployed on the CU of the parent base station node to achieve centralized control of the computing power base stations within the management scope of this node, computing power base station management, and computing power service orchestration.

[0169] An endogenous wireless computing power orchestration and management module (distributed) is deployed distributively on the CU of the relay base station and / or child base station. This module can be a lightweight computing power orchestration management layer or a full-scale computing power orchestration management layer to achieve computing power management of this computing power node and local computing power service orchestration.

[0170] The centralized computing power orchestration management layer (optional) can achieve global wireless computing power service orchestration management and cross-RAN coordination.

[0171] Between RANs, computing power information is announced / communicated through the endogenous wireless computing power orchestration and management module.

[0172] As a computing power node, RAN-DU registers computing power information with the wireless computing power orchestration and management module deployed in the CU. The wireless computing power orchestration and management module on the CU side manages all computing power DUs within the management scope and also supports the computing power registration of RAN CU.

[0173] The wireless computing power orchestration and management module (distributed) reports the computing power registration information of RAN to the wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) and / or the computing power orchestration management layer. The wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) and / or the computing power orchestration management layer achieve resource management of global RAN computing power nodes.

[0174] RAN CU issues computing power perception tasks to RAN CU and / or RAN DU, sets the perception period, and RAN CU and / or RAN DU periodically report computing power status data.

[0175] Optionally, RAN CU periodically reports computing power status data to the wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) and / or the computing power orchestration management layer.

[0176] The steps of the computing power registration process under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture are similar to those under the external wireless computing power network architecture, and will not be repeated here.

[0177] In addition to realizing computing power service perception through computing power registration and computing power perception, the wireless computing power orchestration management module can also realize computing power service perception through computing power service discovery function.

[0178] The wireless computing power orchestration management module actively detects (in real time or periodically) the resource status of the RAN CU and / or RAN DU (including the deployment status of the computing power service) to realize the discovery of available computing power services of the RAN.

[0179] The steps of the computing service orchestration process under the endogenous wireless computing network architecture are similar to those under the external wireless computing network architecture and will not be repeated here.

[0180] Figure 8 : is a schematic diagram of computing power information notification signaling interaction under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, the specific steps of computing power information notification / interaction are as follows:

[0181] 0, RAN1, and RAN2 complete the computing node registration in this node respectively, and the node RAN (RAN1 and RAN2 in this embodiment, RAN can be Figure 6 The distributed base station nodes in the architecture can also be Figure 7 The wireless computing power orchestration management module in the parent base station node and distributed base station node in the architecture stores the computing power information of the RAN and the neighboring cell relationship of the RAN;

[0182] 1. According to the relationship with neighboring cells, the RAN CU carries the computing power information of the computing power node of the RAN and / or the computing power node of the neighboring RAN through the Xn interface to announce the computing power (such as through the Xn interface application protocol (Xn Application Protocol, XnAP) extended configuration data), so as to realize the mutual perception of computing power information and computing power services between RANs. Each RAN can obtain the computing power information within its two hops or more hops (which can be determined according to the actual operation and maintenance management needs).

[0183] The computing power information includes one or more of the following: RAN identification, computing power node indication, computing power authentication data, computing power node type, computing power size, computing power node location, computing power services deployed on the computing power node, computing power node status and other information.

[0184] 2. When the wireless computing power orchestration management module (centralized) and / or the computing power orchestration management layer need to control the global computing power resources and computing power services, the wireless computing power orchestration management module in the CU of the node RAN (RAN1 and RAN2 in this embodiment) can notify the computing power information, register the computing power, and sense the computing power status to the wireless computing power orchestration management module (centralized) (the steps are similar to those in the plug-in wireless computing power network architecture and will not be elaborated), and / or register the computing power and sense the computing power status to the centralized computing power orchestration management layer (the steps are similar to those in the plug-in wireless computing power network architecture and will not be elaborated).

[0185] It should be noted that: There is no timing relationship between the above steps 1 and 2.

[0186] Figure 9 It is a signaling interaction diagram of computing power service orchestration in the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 9 shown, in the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, the specific steps of computing power service orchestration are as follows:

[0187] 0. The wireless computing power orchestration management module receives the service demand (the service demand of the UE received by the wireless computing power orchestration management module, or the service demand of the application layer forwarded by the computing power orchestration management layer, or the service demand forwarded by the wireless computing power orchestration management module (centralized) to the wireless computing power orchestration management module (distributed)), performs demand parsing and resource mapping, and orchestrates the computing power service;

[0188] 1-1. When the computing power of this RAN node meets the user service demand, orchestrate the computing power service of this RAN node, generate a computing power scheduling policy, and send it to the corresponding computing power unit to deploy the computing power service;

[0189] 1-2. When the computing power of this RAN node does not fully meet the user service demand, select one or more adjacent nodes whose computing power meets the demand according to the computing power information of the neighboring areas obtained by the computing power notification, and send a computing power service negotiation request for edge-to-edge collaborative computing power service negotiation.

[0190] Among them, the computing power service negotiation request carries one or more of the following information: requester identifier (i.e., RAN1 identifier), user identifier, user type, user level, service type, required computing power resource type, required computing power resource size, required computing power service type, computing power usage time, etc.

[0191] 2. After receiving the computing power service negotiation request, the adjacent RAN node determines whether the collaborative computing power service demand can be provided.

[0192] 3. The adjacent RAN node makes a computing power service negotiation response to the computing power service request node.

[0193] 4-1. When the negotiation is successful, the computing power service deployment for edge-to-edge collaboration is carried out in cooperation with neighboring cells through the Xn interface.

[0194] 4-2. When the negotiation is unsuccessful, or when the local and neighboring cell resources do not fully meet the requirements, forward the computing power service request (including user service requirements) to the wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) or the centralized computing power orchestration management layer. The user service requirements are the same as those described in the external wireless computing power network architecture and will not be elaborated here.

[0195] 5. The wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) or the computing power orchestration management layer receives the computing power service request from the RAN, performs requirement analysis and resource mapping, orchestrates the computing power service, and generates a computing power scheduling strategy, which includes the selected nodes providing the computing power service and the path to reach the selected nodes.

[0196] 6. The wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) or the computing power orchestration management layer responds to the RAN with the orchestration strategy.

[0197] 7. The wireless computing power orchestration and management module (centralized) or the computing power orchestration management layer performs the computing power service deployment for cloud-edge-end collaboration, and issues the generated computing power scheduling strategy to the RAN and / or the core network (such as PCF, SMF, etc.) for execution.

[0198] 8. The RAN responds to the user.

[0199] Among them, RAN1 and RAN2 have completed the registration of computing power nodes, and the registration process will not be elaborated here.

[0200] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the integrated wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 10 shown, the integrated wireless computing power network architecture includes a wireless infrastructure layer, a computing power orchestration management layer, and an application layer. The computing power network function is fully integrated with the RAN function module, and the computing power management function is enhanced on the RAN function module.

[0201] Enhanced wireless resource management module: Enhanced implementation of computing power resource management, computing power service management, etc.

[0202] Enhanced measurement configuration and preparation: Enhanced implementation of the computing power measurement configuration for the UE.

[0203] Enhanced dynamic resource allocation (scheduling) function: Enhanced implementation of the orchestration and scheduling of computing power services.

[0204] Enhance the wireless resource management module in the RAN-CU control plane, enhance the computing power registration and computing power awareness capabilities, and realize the registration and awareness of its own idle computing power and computing power services.

[0205] Optionally, the enhanced radio resource management module reports the computing power registration information of this RAN node to the centralized computing power orchestration and management layer. The computing power orchestration and management layer manages the resources of global RAN computing power nodes, and coordinates with the enhanced radio resource management module to implement the periodic status reporting of the computing power resources and computing power services of this RAN node.

[0206] The specific process steps of computing power registration under the integrated wireless computing power network architecture are similar to those under the external wireless computing power network architecture, and will not be elaborated here.

[0207] In addition to realizing the perception of computing power services through the computing power registration and computing power perception links, the enhanced radio resource management module can also realize the perception of computing power services through the computing power service discovery function.

[0208] The enhanced radio resource management module actively probes (in real time or periodically) and polls the computing power resource status (including the deployment status of computing power services) of this RAN CU and / or this RANDU to realize the discovery of available computing power resources and computing power services of this RAN node. Alternatively, after this RAN CU and / or this RAN DU are registered and online, they actively report the computing power resource status (including the deployment status of computing power services) to the radio resource management module periodically.

[0209] Optionally, through the coordination of the computing power orchestration and management layer and the enhanced radio resource management module, the computing power orchestration and management layer discovers the computing power resources and computing power services of this RAN node.

[0210] The process steps of computing power service discovery / updating under the integrated wireless computing power network architecture are similar to those under the external wireless computing power network architecture, and will not be elaborated here.

[0211] Figure 11 It is a schematic diagram of signaling interaction for reporting end-side computing power information under the integrated wireless computing power network architecture provided by the embodiments of this application. As Figure 11 shown, under the integrated wireless computing power network architecture, the specific steps for reporting end-side computing power information are as follows:

[0212] Enhance the measurement configuration and preparation function in the control plane of RAN-CU, and enhance the computing power reporting function of the UE to realize the reporting of the UE's computing power information when the UE is a computing power node.

[0213] The UE, as a computing power node, completes computing power registration with the accessed RAN.

[0214] 1. Configure the UE's measurement report (such as reporting the UE's computing power information through a measurement report).

[0215] 2. The UE performs measurements according to the configuration requirements and reports the computing power information in real time or periodically.

[0216] 3. UE computing power information storage.

[0217] 4. Optionally, the RAN node can also synchronize all / incremental data to the centralized computing power orchestration and management layer.

[0218] Enhance the radio resource management module in the RAN-CU control plane, store the computing power information of the RAN and the neighbor cell relationship of the RAN. According to the neighbor cell relationship, the RAN CU carries the computing power information of its own RAN computing power node and / or adjacent RAN computing power nodes through the Xn interface for computing power announcement (such as through XnAP extended configuration data), so as to realize the mutual perception of computing power information and computing power services between RANs. The steps of the computing power information announcement process under the converged wireless computing power network architecture are similar to those under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture and will not be elaborated here.

[0219] Enhance the dynamic resource allocation (scheduling) function. Through the enhanced dynamic resource allocation (scheduling) module and / or the computing power orchestration and management layer, according to the service requirements of the application layer or the service requirements triggered by the UE, perform computing power service orchestration, deploy local computing power services on the RAN side, and / or cooperate with neighboring cells through the Xn interface for edge-to-edge collaborative computing power service deployment, and / or perform cloud-edge-end collaborative computing power service deployment through the computing power orchestration and management layer, generate a computing power scheduling strategy, and send it to the RAN and / or the core network (such as PCF, SMF, etc.) for execution.

[0220] The steps of the computing power service orchestration process under the converged wireless computing power network architecture are similar to those of the computing power service orchestration under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture. The difference lies in the execution entity. Under the endogenous wireless computing power network architecture, the endogenous wireless computing power orchestration and management module performs resource orchestration and scheduling, while in this embodiment, the computing power resource orchestration and scheduling are realized through the enhanced dynamic resource allocation (scheduling) function.
