Method and apparatus for resource isolation on a communication network

By improving communication and resource management between nodes, the problem of communication resource isolation caused by insufficient coordination between 3GPP systems and cloud/virtualization systems has been solved. Standardized isolation and secure exchange between 5G/6G networks and cloud-native infrastructure have been achieved, improving resource isolation and security in scenarios with multiple vendors and multiple cloud service providers.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Due to the lack of coordination between the 3GPP system and the cloud/virtualization system, virtual network functions/cloud-native network functions serving different applications cannot be properly isolated at the virtualization layer and the physical layer, resulting in the inability to effectively guarantee the security and isolation of communication resources.

Method used

A method and apparatus are provided to receive and transmit isolation requirement parameters through inter-node communication, create or select infrastructure clusters and network services that meet the isolation requirements, ensure the isolation of communication resources, including the isolation of hardware nodes, virtual machine nodes, namespaces, etc., and use nodes such as container infrastructure service cluster management and cloud manager for resource management and isolation.

Benefits of technology

It enables the standardized exchange of isolation and security requirements between 5G/6G networks and cloud-native infrastructure, ensuring that the security and isolation requirements of 5G/6G networks are met in multi-vendor and multi-cloud service provider scenarios, and improving resource isolation and security in virtualized infrastructure.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for resource isolation on a communication network. A method (400) performed by a first node for managing resources of a communication network comprises: receiving (S402), from a second node, a first request for a communication resource, the first request comprising: a first parameter indicating an isolation requirement for the communication resource; and transmitting (S404), to the second node, a first response indicating the communication resource that meets the isolation requirement of the communication resource. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure propose a mechanism that allows exchanging isolation and security requirements of communication resources in a standard way.
