[0002] With the increasing demand for computing resources, several methods for collaboratively processing tasks and performing distributed computing have emerged to fully utilize the computing power of various parties. Existing methods primarily rely on the client and computing platform to collaboratively process tasks, without the network being aware of this process. This means that when processing tasks requiring high computing power, such as AI model training, the coordination between the client, network, and computing platform is inefficient, resulting in suboptimal utilization of computing resources.

[0044] For ease of understanding, several terms involved in this disclosure are explained below:

[0045] UE (User Equipment): User terminal, also referred to as terminal below.

[0046] RAN (Radio Access Network): The radio access network is the part of the mobile communications network responsible for managing the wireless connection between terminals (such as mobile phones and tablets) and the core network. It includes base stations and other related components to enable the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0047] UPF (User Plane Function): User plane network element refers to the network functional entity that performs user plane data processing tasks. The user plane network element provides its operating status information for performance evaluation and optimization.

[0048] AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function): Access and mobility management network element, mainly responsible for handling user access control and mobility management functions.

[0049] SMF (Session Management Function): Session management network element, mainly responsible for handling user session management tasks.

[0050] The core network (CN) is the core of a mobile communications network, responsible for managing and controlling the entire network's service processes, including but not limited to call control, data exchange, user authentication, and billing. The core network includes session management elements, access and mobility management elements, and user plane elements.

[0051] A PDU session (Protocol Data Unit Session) is a logical connection established between a terminal (UE) and a data network (DN). This logical connection is used to transmit user data traffic and can be configured with different Quality of Service (QoS) based on different requirements.

[0052] The N1 interface connects the terminal (UE) and the access and mobility management function (AMF). This interface is primarily used to transmit control plane information, including but not limited to UE access requests, mobility management messages, and session management control information. Through the N1 interface, the UE can communicate with the core network to perform functions such as registration, authentication, and security context establishment, and supports seamless UE handover between different networks.

[0053] The N2 interface connects the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). It carries control plane information related to the RAN node. This includes signaling exchanges between the RAN and the AMF, such as messages used to manage the establishment, modification, and release of UE connections. Furthermore, the N2 interface carries commands related to mobility management and session management, ensuring that the network can dynamically adapt to UE location changes and service requirements.

It is responsible for transmitting session control information and data forwarding rules to effectively manage and control user plane traffic.

[0055] NR (New Radio) is a fundamental new wireless access technology, typically used for communications within the coverage of ground base stations. It provides high-speed, low-latency internet access for mobile devices.

[0056] NR (LEO): refers to communications using satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). LEO satellites are closer to the Earth's surface (approximately 500-2000 kilometers), providing low-latency communications services. However, a large number of satellites are required to achieve global coverage.

[0057] NR(MEO): Indicates communications via Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. MEO satellites are located at altitudes of approximately 2,000-36,000 kilometers. Compared to LEO, they offer wider coverage but also higher latency.

[0058] NR (GEO): This technology utilizes satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO). GEO satellites are located at an altitude of approximately 36,000 kilometers and can provide fixed-location coverage. However, due to the long distance, signal latency is significant.

[0059] NR (OTHERSAT): refers to other types of satellite systems other than the three orbits mentioned above, such as elliptical orbit satellites or special satellite constellation designs to meet specific communication needs.

[0060] Onboard computing platforms refer to computing resources and service systems deployed on satellites. These computing resources provide powerful data processing capabilities for devices on the ground or elsewhere in space. With the development of satellite communication technology, particularly the rise of low-Earth orbit (LEO) and medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellite networks, onboard computing platforms have become increasingly important. They can support a range of applications, from real-time data analysis to complex computing tasks such as AI model training and big data analysis.

[0061] A computing platform is an infrastructure that provides computing resources and services for executing various types of computing tasks. These platforms can be physical (such as server clusters in a data center) or virtual (such as cloud computing services), and are designed to provide users with powerful computing capabilities to support data processing, storage, analysis, and application execution.

[0062] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a task processing system in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, which includes: a terminal (UE) 101, a radio access network (RAN) 102, an access and mobility management network element (AMF) 103, a session management network element (SMF) 104, a user plane function (UPF) 105 and a computing power platform 106.

[0063] In which, an application can be installed in the radio access network (RAN) 102 to perform: receiving the second task information sent by the terminal, wherein the second task information includes the terminal identifier, network access type and first computing power information, as well as the task identifier and data volume; determining the second computing power information of the radio access network; sending the first task information to the access and mobility management network element, wherein the first task information includes the terminal identifier, network access type and first computing power information, the task identifier and data volume, and the second computing power information of the radio access network; receiving the task allocation information sent by the access and mobility management network element, wherein the task allocation information includes the terminal identifier, the task identifier, and the allocation rate of the computing power platforms corresponding to the terminal, the radio access network and the user plane network element for processing tasks.

[0064] Among them, an application can be installed in the access and mobility management network element (AMF) 103 to perform: receiving first task information sent by the wireless access network, wherein the first task information includes the terminal identifier, network access type and first computing power information, the task identifier and data volume, and the second computing power information of the wireless access network; determining the session management network element based on the network access type and the task identifier, and forwarding the first task information to the session management network element; receiving task allocation information fed back by the session management network element, wherein the task allocation information includes the terminal identifier, the task identifier, and the allocation rate of the computing power platforms corresponding to the terminal, wireless access network and user plane network element for processing tasks; and sending the task allocation information to the wireless access network.

[0065] Among them, an application can be installed in the session management network element (SMF) 104 to perform: receiving first task information from the wireless access network forwarded by the access and mobility management network element, wherein the first task information includes the terminal identifier, network access type and first computing power information, the task identifier and data volume, and the second computing power information of the wireless access network; determining the user plane network element based on the first task information, and obtaining the third computing power information of the computing power platform corresponding to the user plane network element; determining the distribution rate of the terminal, wireless access network and computing power platform for processing tasks based on the first task information and the third computing power information; sending task allocation information to the access and mobility management network element, wherein the task allocation information includes the terminal identifier, the task identifier, and the distribution rate of the terminal, wireless access network and computing power platform for processing tasks.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the radio access network (RAN) 102, the user plane function (UPF) 105 and the computing power platform 106 can be deployed on a satellite, and the computing power platform 106 can be a satellite-borne computing power platform, so that the ground, air and space tripartite collaborative processing of tasks can be achieved.

[0067] Figure 2 A flowchart of a task processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, which is applied to a session management network element, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0068] S201, receiving first task information from a wireless access network forwarded by an access and mobility management network element, wherein the first task information includes the terminal identifier, network access type and first computing power information, the task identifier and data volume, and the second computing power information of the wireless access network.

[0069] The radio access network sends the first task information to the access and mobility management network element, and the access and mobility management network element forwards the first task information to the session management network element.

[0070] Tasks are initiated by terminals and require collaborative processing by the terminal, the network, and the computing platform. Task data volume refers to the size of the data to be processed within the task, typically measured in MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes). Network access types include NR, NR (LEO), NR (MEO), NR (GEO), and NR (OTHERSAT). Both primary and secondary computing power information include information such as the number of processor cores, number of threads, main frequency, power consumption, and memory capacity.

[0071] S202: Determine a user plane network element based on the first task information, and obtain third computing power information of a computing power platform corresponding to the user plane network element.

[0072] The most suitable user plane network element is selected based on the first task information to ensure that the computing platform corresponding to the user plane network element has sufficient processing power to meet the task requirements, thereby optimizing resource utilization and reducing task delays caused by insufficient resources.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the user plane network element may be determined according to the terminal identifier or the task identifier or the data volume.

[0074] The one or more computing platforms that each user plane network element can call are the computing platforms corresponding to the user plane network element. The third computing power information includes information such as the number of processor cores, number of threads, main frequency, power consumption, memory capacity and current load status of the computing power platform.

[0075] S203: Based on the first task information and the third computing power information, determine the distribution rate of the processing tasks of the terminal, the wireless access network, and the computing power platform.

[0076] The task allocation rate is the proportion of tasks that the terminal, network side and computing power platform should each undertake, determined based on the first task information and the third computing power information.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, based on the first computing power information, the second computing power information and the third computing power information, the distribution rate of the processing tasks of the terminal, the wireless access network and the computing power platform is determined.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the ratio among the first computing power information, the second computing power information and the third computing power information is positively correlated with the ratio among the distribution rates of the tasks processed by the terminal, the wireless access network and the computing power platform respectively.

[0079] By combining the computing power of the terminal, network, and computing platform, the most reasonable task allocation plan is calculated. This balances the workload of the terminal, network, and computing platform, avoiding single point overload and improving overall efficiency.

[0080] S204, sending task allocation information to the access and mobility management network element, wherein the task allocation information includes the terminal identifier, the task identifier, and the allocation rate of the terminal, the wireless access network, and the computing power platform for processing the tasks.

[0081] The final allocation results are fed back to the access and mobility management network element, allowing subsequent terminals, the network side, and the computing platform to collaboratively process the task. This technical approach ensures the consistency and accuracy of task execution and reduces resource waste caused by poor communication.

[0082] The embodiments of the present disclosure use the above-mentioned technical means to solve the problem of insufficient computing resources in multi-party collaborative scenarios due to the lack of an effective session management mechanism to dynamically adjust and allocate tasks when encountering high loads or large-scale data processing requirements, which affects the efficiency and real-time performance of task execution and also limits the performance improvement of the entire collaborative processing process.

[0083] For example, in an AI model training scenario, a user terminal (UE) connects to the radio access network (RAN) as a data collection and initial processing terminal. The UE collects a large amount of image data for model training. Because model training requires significant computing resources, relying solely on the UE's own computing power is insufficient to efficiently complete the task. Therefore, the computing power of the RAN and computing platforms is required. The access and mobility management network element (AMF) forwards the first task information sent by the radio access network to the session management network element (SMF). The first task information includes the UE's identifier, network access type (e.g., NR), the UE's first computing power information, the task identifier and data volume, and the RAN's second computing power information. Based on the parameters in the first task information, such as the task identifier and data volume, the SMF selects an appropriate user plane network element (UPF) and obtains the third computing power information of the computing platform corresponding to the selected UPF, including its processing capacity and current load status, to ensure that the model training task requirements are met. Based on the first task information and the third computing power information, the SMF calculates the most appropriate task allocation plan. For example, considering that the UE has some initial processing power but is insufficient to handle the entire training process alone, while the RAN has strong real-time processing capabilities but is also limited by scale, it was ultimately decided that the UE would handle 10% of the tasks, primarily data preprocessing and simple feature extraction; the RAN would handle 30%, primarily performing some feature engineering and preliminary model training; and the remaining 60% would be handled by the corresponding computing platform of the UPF, leveraging its powerful computing resources for large-scale data processing and deep learning model training. Once the task allocation plan is determined, the SMF sends the task allocation information, including the terminal identity, task identity, and the task allocation ratio for each node, to the AMF. This ensures that the UE, RAN, and UPF are all clear about their respective responsibilities and can begin work as planned.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the first task information and the third computing power information, the distribution rate of the tasks processed by the terminal, the wireless access network and the computing power platform is determined, including: determining the task allocation strategy; based on the first task information, the third computing power information and the allocation strategy, determining the distribution rate of the tasks processed by the terminal, the wireless access network and the computing power platform.

[0085] Allocation policies are rules or algorithms used to determine how to allocate computing tasks across terminals, wireless access networks, and computing platforms. These policies can be based on a variety of factors, such as the real-time load, processing power, and latency requirements of the terminals, wireless access networks, and computing platforms.

[0086] In this embodiment, after the allocation strategy is determined, the proportion of tasks to be undertaken by the terminal, the radio access network, and the computing platform is specifically calculated based on the first task information and the third computing power information. For example, if the allocation strategy tends to maximize the utilization of the radio access network's computing resources to reduce latency, the RAN may be given priority for undertaking more computing tasks; conversely, if computing efficiency is more important, more tasks may be allocated to computing platforms with greater processing power. Through the above-mentioned technical means, by flexibly adjusting the task allocation rate of each node, resource utilization can be optimized according to the real-time computing power status, thereby effectively alleviating the task execution bottleneck problem caused by the uneven distribution of computing power resources.

[0087] For example, in an AI model training scenario, given the real-time requirements of the task and to fully leverage the strengths of each node, a "RAN-first" allocation strategy is adopted. Based on this strategy, the SMF, based on the received primary task information and the third computing capacity information, assigns 10% of the data preprocessing work to the UE, as this reduces the amount of data required for transmission; 30% to the RAN, due to its fast response and sufficient processing capabilities; and the remaining 60% to the computing platform, which has the robust computing power and ample resources to support large-scale data analysis and model training.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, before sending task allocation information to the access and mobility management network element, the method also includes: determining the allocation rate of the terminal and the wireless access network for processing tasks based on the first task information; and determining the allocation rate of the computing power platform for processing tasks based on the allocation rate of the terminal and the wireless access network for processing tasks.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first computing power information of the terminal and the second computing power information of the RAN are first considered to evaluate the amount of tasks they can undertake, and the allocation ratio of tasks to be processed by the terminal and the radio access network (RAN) is determined. Then, the remaining tasks are used as the task allocation ratio of the computing power platform. Through the above technical means, the task allocation ratio of the terminal and RAN is first determined, and then the task load of the computing power platform is adjusted accordingly. This can not only effectively reduce data transmission delays, but also avoid resource bottlenecks caused by over-reliance on a single node, thereby improving overall task processing efficiency.

[0090] For example, in an AI model training scenario, if the UE has strong initial data processing capabilities but limited overall computing resources, and the RAN can provide additional real-time processing support, 10% of the data preprocessing work may be assigned to the UE, while the RAN will handle 20% of the feature engineering tasks. The remaining 70% of the tasks will be assigned to ground-based or spaceborne computing centers with greater computing power.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the first task information, determining the distribution rate of the tasks processed by the terminal and the wireless access network respectively includes: determining the task distribution strategy; based on the first task information and the distribution strategy, determining the distribution rate of the tasks processed by the terminal and the wireless access network respectively.

[0092] In this embodiment, the task allocation strategy is determined based on factors such as the specific requirements of the task, the computing power status of each node (terminal, wireless access network and computing power platform), and network conditions. For example, if the task has high real-time requirements, it may tend to give priority to the use of edge resources close to the data source (such as UE and RAN) to reduce data transmission delay; if more emphasis is placed on computing efficiency, more tasks may be allocated to computing power platforms with stronger processing capabilities. Next, based on the first task information and the determined allocation strategy, the task proportions that the terminal and RAN should each undertake are specifically calculated. Through the above technical means, the task allocation process is guided by a pre-set allocation strategy, which not only helps to optimize resource utilization, but also ensures that the performance indicator requirements of specific tasks are met.

[0093] For example, in an application scenario that emphasizes low latency, if the UE has a certain amount of preliminary processing capabilities but limited overall resources, and the RAN can provide additional immediate processing support, 10% of the data pre-processing work may be allocated to the UE, and the RAN will take on 30% of the tasks.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, obtaining the third computing power information of the computing power platform corresponding to the user plane network element includes: sending an interface session request to the user plane network element; receiving an interface session response fed back by the user plane network element, wherein the interface session response includes the third computing power information.

[0095] In this embodiment, to obtain the third computing power information of the computing power platform corresponding to the user plane network element (UPF), it is first necessary to send an interface session request to the user plane network element. It should be noted that the interface session request can be an N4 interface session establishment request. Once the user plane network element receives the request, it will generate an interface session response based on its own state, which includes detailed third computing power information. It should be noted that the interface session response can be an N4 interface session establishment response. Through the above technical means, the third computing power information can be obtained in a timely manner.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after feeding back the task allocation information to the access and mobility management network element, the method further includes: receiving task allocation determination information sent by the access and mobility management network element, wherein the task allocation determination information includes the terminal identifier, the task identifier, the terminal confirmed by the terminal, and the allocation rate of the wireless access network and the computing power platform for processing the tasks respectively.

[0097] In this embodiment, after the SMF sends the task allocation information to the AMF, the AMF further communicates the task allocation information to the radio access network (RAN) and the terminal (UE) so that the terminal can confirm whether the task allocation rate is feasible. The task allocation determination information and the task allocation information can be the same, or the task allocation determination information can be the task allocation information adjusted by the terminal. Through the above technical means, by introducing a terminal confirmation mechanism, task execution failure or inefficiency caused by inaccurate initial estimation can be avoided.

[0103] In this embodiment, the AMF receives the first task information from the radio access network (RAN), and based on the network access type and task identifier, the AMF determines the session management network element (SMF) that is most suitable for processing the task. Once the SMF is determined, the AMF forwards the first task information to the selected SMF. Next, the SMF evaluates the task requirements based on the first task information, and determines the task allocation information in combination with the third computing power information of the selected user plane network element (UPF). Afterwards, the SMF feeds the task allocation information back to the AMF. Finally, the AMF forwards the task allocation information to the radio access network (RAN). It should be noted that the access and mobility management network element can send the task allocation information to the radio access network according to the PDU session request of the N2 interface. Through the above technical means, the problem of low efficiency in collaborative processing tasks between the terminal, the network side and the computing power platform in the existing technology and the inability to fully utilize computing power resources is solved, thereby improving the efficiency and real-time performance of task execution.

[0105] In this embodiment, after the AMF forwards the task allocation information to the RAN, the RAN sends it to the terminal. Based on actual resource availability and processing capabilities, the terminal determines whether to accept the allocated ratio. If insufficient resources or excessive load prevent the originally planned ratio from being met, the terminal may propose adjustments and generate task allocation confirmation information. The terminal then sends the task allocation confirmation information to the RAN. The RAN, in turn, sends the task allocation confirmation information to the AMF. By receiving the task allocation confirmation information reported by the RAN through the aforementioned technical means, the AMF can promptly determine the final executable task allocation ratio for each node, thereby improving the accuracy of task scheduling.

[0106] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the task allocation confirmation information sent by the radio access network, the method further includes: sending the task allocation confirmation information to the session management network element.

[0107] Through the above technical means, AMF sends the task allocation confirmation information to SMF, and SMF can timely grasp the final executable task allocation ratio of each node, thereby improving the accuracy of task scheduling.

Finally, the RAN receives the task allocation information from the AMF. The above technical means solve the problem of low efficiency of collaborative processing tasks between the terminal, the network side and the computing power platform in the existing technology, and the inability to fully utilize computing power resources, thereby improving the efficiency and real-time performance of task execution.
