[0260] Optionally, the computing power resource may, for example, be a computing power slice, wherein different computing power slices support the same or different computing power types.

[0261] In some embodiments, the method of sending, by the second node, the first request to the first node may include: determining, by the second node, at least one of the subscription information of the terminal and the computing power policy of the terminal; optionally, the computing power policy may, for example, be the computing power guarantee of the terminal, such as the minimum computing power rate of the terminal, the minimum computing power resource quality, and the like; optionally, the second node may determine at least one of the subscription information of the terminal and the computing power policy of the terminal based on a protocol agreement, and / or the second node may obtain at least one of the subscription information of the terminal and the computing power policy of the terminal from other nodes.

[0262] Optionally, taking the determination of the required computing power size by the second node as an example. For example, the second node may determine the actual computing power size required by the terminal service based on the subscription information of the terminal and the computing power policy of the terminal, and then determine the available computing power of the terminal and the available storage space of the terminal based on the computing power related information of the terminal. The second node determines the required computing power size of the terminal by combining the available computing power of the terminal, the available storage space of the terminal, and the actual computing power size required by the terminal service.

[0263] In some embodiments, the first request can be carried in a session resource setup request.

[0264] Step 2103, the first node configures a transmission resource for the session.

[0265] Optionally, the first node can configure the transmission resource for the session through a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration process. The transmission resource can be, for example, a data bearer, which can be used to transmit session data, for example, user plane data of the terminal.

[0267] Optionally, the first feedback can be an admission result of the first node for the compute power request of the terminal.

[0268] Optionally, the first feedback can include at least one of:

[0269] a successful compute power request;

[0270] a failed compute power request;

[0271] a session of a failed compute power request;

[0273] a compute power resource allocated by the first node for the terminal;

[0274] a compute power resource allocated by the first node for the session;

[0275] a compute power resource allocated by the first node for a QoS flow of the session;

[0276] a compute power resource allocated by the first node for uplink terminal data;

[0277] a compute power resource allocated by the first node for downlink terminal data.

[0278] Optionally, the first node can determine the first feedback based on one or more of a load of the first node, available compute power of the first node, and a compute power priority of the compute power requested by the first request. For example, the first node can preferentially allocate the compute power requested by the first request when the compute power priority of the first request is high; or when the load of the first node is high or the available compute power of the first node is low, the compute power allocated by the first node can be less than the compute power requested by the first request, for example, the first request is used to request 100 Flops of compute power, but the load of the first node is currently high and the available compute power is low, so the compute power allocated by the first node for the first request can be only 50 Flops.

[0279] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the failure of the computing power request does not mean the failure of the session establishment or the failure of the session modification. Even if the computing power request fails, the first node can still provide connection and transmission resources to the session.

[0280] Step 2105, the first node sends the first feedback to the second node.

[0281] Optionally, the first feedback can be carried in a session resource setup response. Optionally, after receiving the session resource setup response, the second node can complete the user plane session establishment based on the session resource setup response.

[0282] Step 2106, the first node allocates computing power resources and performs a first operation to process terminal data using the allocated computing power resources.

[0283] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the first node allocates computing power resources for the terminal, when the first node receives terminal data, the allocated computing power resources can be used to process the terminal data before transmission.

[0284] Optionally, in some other embodiments, if the first node allocates computing power resources for the session, when the first node receives terminal data in the session, the allocated computing power resources can be used to process the terminal data in the session before transmission.

[0285] Optionally, in some other embodiments, if the first node allocates computing power resources for the QoS flow of the session, when the first node receives terminal data in the QoS flow, the allocated computing power resources can be used to process the terminal data in the QoS flow before transmission.

[0286] Optionally, in some other embodiments, if the first node allocates computing power resources for the uplink terminal data, when the first node receives the uplink terminal data, the allocated computing power resources can be used to process the uplink terminal data before transmission.

[0287] Optionally, in some other embodiments, if the first node allocates computing power resources for the downlink terminal data, when the first node receives the downlink terminal data, the allocated computing power resources can be used to process the downlink terminal data before transmission.

[0288] In the above embodiments, in the above embodiments, the first node receives a first request sent by the second node, the first request can request the computing power of the first node for the terminal in addition to requesting the terminal to establish or modify the session, and the first node determines an admission result for the computing power request of the terminal and feeds back the admission result to the second node. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a computing power request method, which can be used to request computing power for the terminal. When the computing power of the terminal is insufficient to support business execution, the method of the present disclosure can be used to request computing power for the terminal, meet the computing power demand of the terminal, ensure the smooth progress of the terminal business, and ensure the stability of communication.

[0289] In the above embodiments, the first request can be used to indicate the computing power demand of the terminal, such as indicating the computing power type, computing power resource, and computing power rate requirement required by the terminal, so that the first node can allocate the computing power required by the terminal for the terminal based on the computing power demand of the terminal after receiving the first request, and ensure that the computing power can accurately and efficiently process terminal data. The method can also share the computing power of the terminal, reduce the computing cost of the terminal, reduce the power consumption of the terminal, and improve the service experience of the user.

[0290] In the above embodiments, different terminals correspond to different computing power demands, different sessions correspond to different computing power demands, different QoS flows correspond to different computing power demands, and terminal data in different transmission directions correspond to different computing power demands. Therefore, the first request can request computing power for different terminals, different sessions, different QoS flows, and terminal data in different transmission directions based on the computing power demands corresponding to different terminals, different sessions, different QoS flows, and terminal data in different transmission directions. Therefore, the present disclosure not only provides a computing power request method, but also provides a method for requesting computing power for terminals, sessions of terminals, QoS flows of terminals, and terminal data in different transmission directions. Therefore, the method of the present disclosure can request sufficient computing power for terminals, sessions of terminals, QoS flows of terminals, and terminal data in different transmission directions, thereby ensuring the stability of terminal business execution, the stability of terminal sessions, and the stability of terminal transmission.

[0291] In the above embodiments, it is explained how the first node determines the first feedback, and it is explained what the first feedback can include, so that the first node can timely notify the second node after successfully determining the first feedback, ensuring the unified understanding of the first node and the second node for the computing power request result, and realizing the synchronization of information understanding in the communication system.

[0292] In the above embodiments, when the first node allocates computing resource to the terminal, the session, the QoS flow, the terminal data in uplink, and the terminal data in downlink, the first node processes the terminal data by using the allocated computing resource before transmitting the terminal data, the terminal data in the session, the terminal data in the QoS flow, the terminal data in uplink, and the terminal data in downlink, so as to realize sufficient processing of the terminal data and ensure the accuracy of the terminal data.

[0293] In the above embodiments, the first node can configure a transmission resource for the session, so that the transmission resource can be used to transmit the data related to the session in the future, thereby ensuring the successful transmission of the session data.

[0294] The computing resource request method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps 2101-2106. For example, step 2101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step 2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps 2101+2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0295] In the present embodiment or example, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, the optional mode or optional example can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any step of other embodiments or other examples.
