[0204] For example, the RAN node1 sends a first message to the DSTMF when it has a data processing requirement, and the first message is used for data service request.

[0205] Step 2102, the second device determines the third device.

[0206] In some embodiments, the second device accepts the first information sent by the first device, and determines the third device based on the first information.

[0207] In some embodiments, the third device is used to perform the data processing service.

[0208] In some embodiments, the third device can process and / or compute the data collected by the first device.

[0209] In some embodiments, the second device selects one or more third devices to satisfy the data processing service request based on the first information. In other words, the data processing service can be executed on one third device or jointly executed on multiple third devices to obtain the processing result.

[0210] In some embodiments, the second device selects the third device based on the computing power requirement, so that the third device can satisfy the data processing service or the first task required to be executed by the first device.

[0211] For example, the DSTMF selects one or more second nodes to satisfy the data service request according to the first message, and executes data processing, where the second node is, for example, a RAN node2 or a CN node.

[0212] In step 2103, the second device determines a fourth device.

[0213] In some embodiments, the second device determines the fourth device based on the first information, where the fourth device is used to manage data transmission between different devices. In other words, the fourth device is used to manage the data transmission channel of the data plane session established between the third device determined based on the first information and the first device.

[0214] In some embodiments, the functions of the fourth device include at least one of the following: establishment, modification, and / or deletion of data transmission connection; selection of data transmission connection; Qos support of data transmission connection.

[0215] In some embodiments, the fourth device is used to select a connection for data transmission between the first device and the third device in at least one logical connection of transmission, or there is no data transmission connection between the first device and the third device, and the fourth device establishes a logical connection between the two devices.

[0216] In some embodiments, there are multiple fourth devices for managing data transmission connections between different devices, and the second device needs to select a fourth device responsible for managing the third device from the multiple fourth devices based on the first information and the determined third device.

[0217] For example, the DSTMF selects a suitable second node to execute the establishment or modification of the data plane channel between the RAN node1 and the second node according to the first message, where the second node is, for example, a DDF.

[0218] In some embodiments, the execution sequence of step 2103 is not limited, which can be between step 2103 and step 2105, or between step 2103 and step 2106.

[0219] In some embodiments, the second device can be the same device as the fourth device, in other words, the second device and the fourth device can be deployed on the same core network node, and the second device decides whether it can be selected according to the request of the first device.

[0220] In some embodiments, the second device, the third device, and the fourth device can be the same device, for example, the second device and the fourth device can be deployed on the node of the third device.

[0221] In some embodiments, the fourth device can be the same device as the third device, and the second device is different from the fourth device, in other words, after the second device receives the first information, it determines that the third device is used to execute data processing services and manage data transmission channels between different devices.

[0222] Step 2104, the second device sends fifth information to the third device.

[0223] In some embodiments, the fifth information is used to indicate the data processing service. In other words, after the second device determines the third device based on the first information, it needs to send the indication information and the related information of the data processing service sent by the first device to the third device, so as to establish the data plane session between the first device and the third device.

[0224] In some embodiments, the fifth information is used to request the third device to execute the data processing service or one or more tasks of the data processing service. In other words, after the second device selects the third device based on the received first information, it sends request information to the third device to request the third device to execute the data processing service or one or more tasks of the data processing service, which can include the indication of the requested data processing service and the related information of the data processing service, wherein the related information includes the data processing request purpose or the computing power requirement.

[0225] In some embodiments, the fifth information includes at least one of the following: a first indication, used to indicate the data processing service and / or the request of one or more tasks of the data processing service; a first identifier, used to identify the data processing service and / or one or more tasks of the data processing service; a data processing request purpose, used to indicate the purpose of the data processing service; and a computing power requirement, used to indicate the computing power requirement of the data processing service.

[0227] In some embodiments, the fifth information and the name of the fifth message are not limited, and are, for example, "data processing service indication information", "data processing service indication message", "data processing request", and the like.

[0228] For example, the DSTMF sends the fifth message to the second node, and the fifth message is used for a data processing request.

[0229] In some embodiments, the second device and the third device can be deployed in the same core network node.

[0230] In some embodiments, the second device and the third device can be deployed in the same access network node.

[0231] At step 2105, the third device sends the sixth information to the second device.

[0232] In some embodiments, the sixth information is used to feed back the fifth information and / or is used to indicate whether to accept the data processing service.

[0233] In some embodiments, the sixth information includes at least one of the following: a second indication indicating acceptance of the data processing service and / or a first task in the data processing service; and a third indication indicating rejection of the data processing service and / or the first task in the data processing service.

[0234] In some embodiments, the first task can be one or more of a plurality of tasks in the data processing service.

[0235] In some embodiments, the sixth information can be carried in a sixth message, the sixth message is used to feed back the fifth message, and the name of the sixth information and the sixth message is not limited, and is, for example, "data processing feedback information", "data processing feedback message", "acceptance of data processing service feedback information", "rejection of data processing service feedback information", "data processing feedback", and the like.

[0236] In some embodiments, when the sixth information is an indication of rejection of the data processing service and / or the first task in the data processing service, the sixth information can include a reason for rejection of the data processing service and / or the first task in the data processing service.

[0237] In some embodiments, when the sixth information is an indication of acceptance of the data processing service and / or the first task in the data processing service, the sixth information can include a task identifier of an accepted computing power request.

[0238] For example, the second node determines whether to accept the data processing request according to the fifth message, and sends a data processing feedback message to the DSTMF, where the data processing feedback message can be a data processing request acceptance result, for example, acceptance of all computing power requests or acceptance of part of the computing power requests.

[0239] Step 2106, the second device sends seventh information to the fourth device.

[0240] In some embodiments, the seventh information is used to instruct the fourth device to manage the data transmission between the first device and the third device.

[0241] In some embodiments, the management of the data transmission between the first device and the third device includes at least one of the following: establishing a data connection between the first device and the third device; modifying a data connection between the first device and the third device; deleting a data connection between the first device and the third device; selecting a data connection between the first device and the third device for data transmission.

[0242] In some embodiments, the seventh information can be carried by a seventh message, and the seventh message is used to send an instruction message to the fourth device to manage the data transmission between the first device and the third device. The management of the data transmission by the fourth device can be the management of a data plane session between the first device and the third device, which can be the creation of a new data plane session, the modification of an existing data plane session, etc.

[0243] In some embodiments, the fourth device can modify the existing data plane session according to the seventh information, which can be modified according to the change of the computing power requirement.

[0244] In some embodiments, the fourth device can generate an identifier of the data plane session according to the seventh information, which is used to send to the first device and the third device.

[0245] In some embodiments, the seventh information and the name of the seventh message are not limited, which are, for example, "data plane session management information", "data plane session management message", "data distribution request", etc.

[0247] In some embodiments, the seventh information can also include first network layer information used to inform the third device of the transmission network layer information used by the first device for data transmission.

[0248] In some embodiments, the data processing service sent by the first device to the second device can be divided into multiple tasks by the second device, and the second device can send the identifiers of the multiple tasks to the fourth device, and each task can be executed by a different third device.

[0249] For example, the DSTMF sends a seventh message to the DDF for a data distribution request, the purpose of the data distribution request is to select an existing data plane session, establish a new data plane session, or modify an existing data plane session.

[0250] In step 2107, the fourth device sends ninth information to the third device.
