[0092] In the above embodiment, at least one task related to the service to be processed is determined, and the identifier of the second terminal that executes each task is determined, and the corresponding task is executed by at least one terminal, which overcomes the problem in the prior art that the network cannot handle large-scale and highly complex tasks, and improves the utilization rate of the terminal's computing resources and storage resources.

[0093] With reference to some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining the first information according to the first request includes:

[0094] determining task information of at least one task corresponding to the service according to the first request;

[0095] Sending task information of the at least one task to a third network element;

[0096] receiving an identifier of at least one first candidate terminal sent by the third network element, and determining a second candidate terminal corresponding to each task from the at least one first candidate terminal; the at least one first candidate terminal is determined by the third network element based on task information of the at least one task;

[0097] A second terminal for executing each task is determined based on the second candidate terminal corresponding to each task.

[0098] In the above embodiment, for scenarios where the fluctuation of terminal computing power is relatively stable and the load is low, the terminal that performs the corresponding task is determined based on the terminal's historical capability information; in this way, the terminal does not need to report real-time capability information to the network, reducing service delays and energy consumption.

[0099] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the task information includes computing power requirements and quality of service (QoS) requirements for executing the corresponding task.

[0100] In the above embodiment, according to the computing power requirement and QoS requirement of the task, the first candidate terminal that meets the conditions in the third network element is screened out; in this way, the success rate of the terminal completing the corresponding task can be improved.

[0105] For each task, the second candidate terminal corresponding to the task is used as the second terminal for executing the task.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the second terminal to perform each task is determined based on the second candidate terminal corresponding to each task; in this way, the terminal does not need to report real-time capability information to the network, reducing service delay and energy consumption.

[0111] In the above embodiment, a second request is sent to the second network element to obtain the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal; in this way, the second terminal that performs each task can be determined from each second candidate terminal based on the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal. For scenarios where the computing power of the terminal changes frequently and the load is high, the terminal that performs the corresponding task is determined based on the real-time capability information of the terminal that is obtained. In this way, the computing power of the terminal can be fully utilized and the task can be deployed more accurately.

[0149] In the above embodiment, for scenarios where the fluctuation of terminal computing power is relatively stable and the load is low, all candidate terminals that meet the task information are determined as the first candidate terminals based on the historical capability information of the terminals; in this way, the first network element does not need to obtain the real-time status and real-time capability information of the terminals, thereby reducing service delays and energy consumption.

[0255] In some embodiments, a service-based interface is used within the control plane of the 5G network; the system structure of the 5G network includes service-based interfaces (e.g., N1, N2) and reference points (e.g., Namf); the reference points show how various network functions interact with each other, and at the same time, the network service functions (NFs) within the control plane transmit data or information to other NFs through the control bus.

[0260] Figure 1B is an exemplary schematic diagram of an improved 5G system architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Based on this functional reorganization, the following three network functions are proposed: data storage, data collection, and computing.

[0261] In some embodiments, the data storage function, which is responsible for storage in NFs (such as NRF / UDR / UDM), is reorganized into a data storage function. For new scenarios such as sensing and positioning, the data storage function also has new capabilities.

Furthermore, the computing function can provide specialized AI computing services.

[0264] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0265] Step S2101: The first terminal sends a first request to the AMF network element.

[0266] In some embodiments, the communication cell includes at least one terminal, and the first terminal is any one of the at least one terminal, wherein the communication cell refers to an area covered by a base station or a part of a base station (sector antenna) in a cellular mobile communication system, and all terminals within this area can communicate reliably with the base station through a wireless channel.

[0267] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends a first request to the AMF network element, where the first request is used to indicate the service to be processed, and the first request includes at least one of the first terminal's identifier, service type, service description, and quality of service QoS.

[0268] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, each terminal in the communication cell has computing resources and storage resources, which can be used to execute computing tasks and store computing results.

[0269] Step S2102: The AMF network element sends a first request to the first network element.

[0270] In some embodiments, after the AMF network element receives the first request, it determines the first network element based on at least one of the service type, service description and quality of service QoS included in the first request, and sends the first request to the first network element; wherein the first network element is a network element with computing function.

[0271] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure includes at least one first network element. Each first network element has different locations, service types provided, load conditions and computing capabilities. The AMF network element determines a first network element that matches at least one of the service type, service description and service quality QoS of the first request, and sends a first request to the first network element.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first network element determines a computing strategy by analyzing at least one of the service type, service description, and quality of service QoS in the first request. The computing strategy includes but is not limited to: computing model, computing method, computing algorithm, whether it is necessary to call the computing resources of the terminal, and unloading solution.

[0273] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the computing method may be a distributed computing method; the offloading scheme includes at least one task, each task includes task information, and the task information includes at least computing power requirements and quality of service QoS requirements.

[0274] In some embodiments, after determining the computing strategy, the first network element sends the identifier of the first terminal and task information of each task to the third network element.

[0275] Step S2103: The third network element sends an identifier of at least one first candidate terminal to the first network element.

[0276] In some embodiments, the third network element is a network element with a data storage function, which stores historical capability information of multiple candidate terminals; the third network element determines the candidate terminals belonging to the same communication cell as the first terminal based on the identifier of the first terminal, and then filters out all candidate terminals that meet the task information from the candidate terminals belonging to the same communication cell based on the task information of each task, as the first candidate terminals, and sends the identifier of the first candidate terminal to the first network element.

[0277] The following describes a specific example of how the first network element determines the second candidate terminal corresponding to each task, including:

[0278] The first network element determines three tasks based on the first request, namely Task 01, Task 02 and Task 03, each task having corresponding task information. The first network element sends the identifier of the first terminal and the task information of the three tasks to the third network element. The third network element determines 10 candidate terminals belonging to the same communication cell as the first terminal based on the identifier of the first terminal; the third network element stores the historical capability information of the 10 candidate terminals, wherein the historical capability information includes the ability of the corresponding terminal to process tasks in history. Based on the historical capability information of the 10 candidate terminals, the candidate terminals that meet the task information of the three tasks are determined, for example: candidate terminal A, candidate terminal B, candidate terminal C and candidate terminal D, as the first candidate terminals. The third network element sends the identifiers of the four first candidate terminals to the first network element.

[0279] Step S2104: The first network element sends first information to the second network element.

[0280] In some embodiments, the first network element determines a second candidate terminal corresponding to each task from at least one first candidate terminal.

[0281] In some optional embodiments, the first network element determines the second terminal to perform each task based on the second candidate terminal corresponding to each task.

[0282] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for scenarios where the fluctuation of terminal computing power is relatively stable and the load is low, the terminal that performs the corresponding task is determined based on the terminal's historical capability information; in this way, the terminal does not need to report real-time status and real-time capability information to the first network element, reducing the processing delay and energy consumption of service-related tasks.

[0283] In some optional embodiments, after determining the second candidate terminal corresponding to each task, the first network element sends a second request to the second network element, the second request including the identifier of each second candidate terminal, the second request being used to request the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal, and the second network element being a network element with a data collection function. The first network element sends a first indication to the third network element based on the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal, the first indication including the real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal, the first indication being used to instruct the third network element to update the historical capability information of the second candidate terminal stored in itself. The first network element determines the second terminal to perform each task from each second candidate terminal based on the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal, including the following two situations:

[0284] In case 1, the real-time status and real-time capability information of each second candidate terminal meets the task information of the corresponding task, and the second candidate terminal is determined to be the second terminal to execute the corresponding task.

[0285] Case 2: The real-time status and real-time capability information of at least one second candidate terminal do not meet the task information of the corresponding task, and the first network element sends the task information of the corresponding task to the third network element; the third network element determines at least one third candidate terminal based on the task information of the corresponding task, and sends the identifier of the at least one third candidate terminal to the first network element, wherein the historical capability information of the at least one third candidate terminal meets the task information of the corresponding task; the first network element determines the second terminal to perform the corresponding task from the third candidate terminals.

[0286] Optionally, the real-time status of the second candidate terminal includes information such as load, power consumption, and heat generation of the corresponding terminal; the real-time capability information of the second candidate terminal includes but is not limited to real-time computing capability and real-time quality of service (QoS) information of the corresponding terminal.

[0287] It should be noted that in the second case, the first network element only eliminates the second candidate terminal whose real-time status and real-time capability information do not meet the task information of the corresponding task. Meanwhile, the at least one third candidate terminal sent by the third network element is all candidate terminals in the third network element that meet the task information except the second candidate terminal. The first network element determines the second terminal to perform the corresponding task from the at least one third candidate terminal.

[0288] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for scenarios where the terminal computing power changes frequently and the load is high, the first network element determines the terminal to perform the corresponding task based on the acquired real-time status and real-time capability information of the terminal. This can fully utilize the computing power of the terminal and deploy tasks more accurately.

[0289] In some embodiments, the first network element uses task information of at least one task corresponding to the service and an identifier of a second terminal executing each task as the first information, and sends the first information to the second network element.

[0290] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second terminal and the first terminal are located in the same communication cell; in this way, the computing resources and storage resources of the terminals in the same communication cell can be fully utilized, thereby reducing resource waste.

[0291] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first terminal is the terminal that sends the first request, and the second terminal is the terminal that performs the task related to the first request. The first terminal and the second terminal may be the same terminal or different terminals, and the second terminal may also include the first terminal. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to specific situations.

[0292] Step S2105: The second network element sends task information of the corresponding task to the second terminal.

[0293] In some embodiments, the second network element determines the second terminal that performs each task according to the identifier of the second terminal in the first information, and sends task information of the corresponding task to each second terminal.

[0294] Optionally, the second network element includes a mapping relationship between the terminal identifier and the terminal IP address. According to the terminal identifier and the mapping relationship, the IP address corresponding to the terminal can be determined; in this way, the task information of the task can be sent to the corresponding terminal according to the terminal IP address.
