[0153] The first network function network element is configured with a computing resource pool, and the computing resource pool maintains computing resource information of computing nodes. The UE can subscribe to the computing parameter from the first network function network element.

[0154] In an embodiment, the first network function network element sends the computing parameter to the UE that subscribes to the computing parameter, including but not limited to the following cases:

[0155] Case 1: The first network function network element can send the computing parameter to the UE based on the request of the UE. For example, the UE sends a computing parameter acquisition request to the first network function network element, the computing parameter acquisition request is used to request to acquire the computing parameter required by the UE, and correspondingly, the first network function network element sends the corresponding computing parameter to the UE according to the computing parameter identifier carried in the computing parameter acquisition request.

[0156] Case 2: The first network function network element can also send the changed computing parameter to the UE when the subscribed computing parameter of the UE changes.

[0157] Case 3: The first network function network element can also periodically send the subscribed computing parameter of the UE to the UE according to a certain period.

[0158] S202: The UE triggers a process corresponding to the computing parameter according to the computing parameter.

[0159] Different computing parameters correspond to different processes, and triggering the process corresponding to the computing parameter includes actively triggering the process by the UE and passively triggering the process by the UE.

[0160] The UE actively triggers the process, that is, the UE actively triggers the process corresponding to the computing parameter according to the received computing parameter; the UE passively triggers the process, that is, the first network function network element sends a process processing instruction to the UE when sending the computing parameter to the UE, and instructs the UE to execute the corresponding process through the process processing instruction.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network function network element is provided, which can dynamically adjust the computing parameter of the computing node (UE), thereby triggering the configuration update of the UE and the dynamic adjustment of the network, better supporting the new scenarios of Internet of Everything, and adapting to the diversified and dynamic computing network demand.

[0162] In some embodiments, the computing parameter includes at least one of a computing resource parameter, a computing node behavior parameter, an expected computing resource parameter, an expected computing node behavior parameter, or a computing session parameter.

[0163] The computing power resource parameter is used to indicate an actual resource parameter of the computing power node, the computing power node behavior parameter is used to indicate an actual behavior parameter of the computing power node, the computing power session parameter is used to indicate an actual session parameter of the computing power node, the expected computing power resource parameter is used to indicate a predicted resource parameter of the computing power node, and the expected computing power node behavior parameter is used to indicate a predicted behavior parameter of the computing power node.

[0164] The expected computing power resource parameter includes but is not limited to an expected computing power resource type, an expected computing power resource size, an expected computing power resource load, an expected computing power providing duration, an expected computing power service type, and the like.

[0166] The computing power resource parameter includes but is not limited to a computing power resource type, a computing power resource size, a computing power resource load, a computing power providing duration, a computing power service type, a computing power application type, and the like.

[0167] The computing power node behavior parameter includes but is not limited to a computing power node moving track (for example, the UE as the computing power node has mobility), a network condition parameter, an expected computing power demand parameter, and the like.

[0168] The computing power session parameter includes but is not limited to a UE identifier, a target computing power node identifier, computing task decomposition information, computing resource demand information (including a computing power resource type, a computing power resource size, and a computing power resource use duration), application information, application description information, a DNN, an S-NSSAI, a computing power session identifier, a computing power session path, QoS information, traffic information, and the like.

[0169] It should be noted that when the UE as the computing power node is registered to the network, the real-time computing power information can be periodically reported to the network by the UE, and therefore, the UE as the computing power node can only subscribe to the expected computing power resource parameter, the expected computing power node behavior parameter, and the computing power session parameter generated by the network side but unknown to the UE, and the like.

[0170] When the UE as the computing power consumer requests the computing power resource from the network, the UE can subscribe to the computing power parameter of the computing power node providing the computing power resource, that is, at least one of the computing power resource parameter, the computing power node behavior parameter, the expected computing power resource parameter, the expected computing power node behavior parameter, or the computing power session parameter.

[0171] FIG. 3 is a signaling interaction diagram II of a computing power parameter processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the computing power parameter processing method includes the following steps:

[0172] S301, the third network function network element obtains mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data of the computing power node.

[0173] It should be noted that the specific type of the third network function network element is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the third network function network element can be a third-party application, and a computing power management center in other computing power networks, mobile computing power networks, and wireless computing power networks. For example, the third network function network element can be an AF network element.

[0174] In this step, the third network function network element can subscribe to mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data about the computing power node from other network functions (for example, NWDAF or other network functions with performance analysis in a 6G network).

[0175] Correspondingly, after obtaining the mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data of the computing power node, the other network functions will send the mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data of the computing power node to the third network function network element.

[0176] S302, the third network function network element obtains computing power parameters according to the mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data.

[0177] Specifically, the third network function network element can verify the mobility analysis data and / or computing power performance analysis data, and export one or a group of computing power parameters.

[0178] S303, the third network function network element sends a parameter processing request to the first network function network element.

[0179] The parameter processing request is used to indicate at least one of creating computing power parameters, updating computing power parameters, or deleting computing power parameters.

[0180] In some possible implementation manners, the third network function network element can directly send the parameter processing request to the first network function network element.

[0181] In some possible implementation manners, the third network function network element can send the parameter processing request to the first network function network element through other network function network elements. For example, when the third network function network element is an AF, the parameter processing request can be sent to a second network function network element (for example, NEF), and correspondingly, the second network function network element sends the parameter processing request to the first network function network element.

[0182] It should be noted that in addition to the above computing power parameters, the parameter processing request can also include one or more of the following parameters: expected UE behavior parameters, network configuration parameters, external group ID and 5GVN group data, 5GVN group membership management parameters, location privacy indication parameters of the "LCS privacy" data subset of the subscription data, etc.

[0183] In some embodiments, if the parameter processing request sent by the third network function network element includes user data, the following steps are further included:

[0184] S1, the second network function network element (for example, NEF) sends a user data update request to the sixth network function network element (for example, UDM), and the user data update request is used to request to update user data.

[0185] S2, the sixth network function network element updates the user data according to the user data update request.

[0186] S3, the sixth network function network element sends a user data update response to the second network function network element.

[0187] Among them, the user data update response is used to indicate at least one of the following: user data update success, user data update failure or user data update failure reason.

[0188] S304, the first network function network element processes the computing power node parameters based on the parameter processing request, and obtains the processed computing power parameters.

[0189] Specifically, the first network function network element needs to judge the attribute of the computing power parameter. If the computing power parameter is an inherent attribute of the computing power node (for example, computing power resource type, etc.), the change is rejected; if the computing power parameter attribute is a non-inherent parameter, the change is accepted.

[0190] S305, the first network function network element sends a parameter processing response to the third network function network element.

[0191] Among them, the parameter processing response is used to indicate at least one of the following: parameter identifier of processing success, parameter identifier of processing failure or reason of processing failure.

[0192] In some possible embodiments, the first network function network element can directly send the parameter processing response to the third network function network element.

[0193] In some possible embodiments, the third network function network element can send the parameter processing request to the first network function network element through other network function network elements. For example, when the third network function network element is AF, the first network function network element can send the parameter processing response to the second network function network element (for example, NEF), and correspondingly, the second network function network element sends the parameter processing response to the AF.

[0194] S306、the first network function network element sends the computing power parameter to the UE subscribing to the computing power parameter.

[0195] S307、the UE triggers a process corresponding to the computing power parameter according to the computing power parameter.

[0196] In some embodiments, the UE sends a computing power parameter subscription request to the first network function network element, and the computing power parameter subscription request is used to request subscription of the computing power parameter.

[0197] Next, the step S202 or the step S307 is described in detail in combination with specific embodiments:

[0198] In embodiment one, the step S202 or the step S307 specifically includes the following steps S1-S2:

[0199] S1, if the UE determines that the computing power parameter is the expected computing power resource parameter and / or the expected computing power node behavior parameter, the UE sends a computing power resource update request or a computing power node registration request to the first network function network element.

[0200] S2, the first network function network element updates the computing power resource of the UE based on the computing power resource update request or the computing power registration request, and / or increases the computing power resource of the UE based on the computing power registration request.

[0201] The computing power resource update request is used to request updating of the computing power resource of the UE, and the computing power node registration request is used to request increasing of the computing power resource of the UE.

[0202] Specifically, when the UE is a computing power node and one or more of the expected computing power resource parameter, the expected computing power node behavior parameter, and the computing power session parameter in the received computing power parameter changes, the UE sends a computing power resource update request and / or a computing power node registration request to the first network function network element, to request updating of the computing power node information maintained in the network.

[0203] The computing power resource update request or the computing power node registration request includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: message type, UE identifier, computing power node form, computing power service type, computing performance (such as computing rate, load, CPU occupancy, bandwidth, etc.), computing power node location, computing power service area, etc.

[0204] In embodiment two, the step S202 or the step S307 specifically includes the following steps S1-S2:

[0205] S1, if the UE determines that the computing power parameter is the computing power resource parameter and / or the computing power node behavior parameter, the UE sends a session request to the first network function network element.

[0206] The session request is used to request to establish a computing power session of a UE to a computing power node providing computing power resource parameters and / or computing power behavior parameters.

[0207] S2, the first network function network element establishes a computing power session of the computing power node to the UE.

[0208] Specifically, in the following two cases, the UE sends a session request to the first network function network element.

[0209] Case 1: When the UE receives computing power parameters as computing power resource parameters and / or computing power node behavior parameters, and the computing power parameters indicate that there is a node in the network that meets its computing power demand.

[0210] Case 2: When the UE receives computing power parameters as expected UE behavior parameters and indicates the computing power demand required for the current AF Session, the UE discovers and selects a node that provides computing power for the current AF session. At this time, the UE can establish a computing power session with the node and use the computing power resources provided by the node to perform AF session-related processing.

[0211] The computing power session refers to a computing task execution channel between a computing power requester and a computing power node. The computing requester can send data required for executing a computing task to the computing power node through the channel, and the computing power node returns after executing the computing task, realizing the deep collaboration of connection and computing resources in the mobile network, opening up the transmission path of mobile computing power network endogenous computing power. At the same time, the user plane termination point of the computing power session is not necessarily in the DN, but can also be located in the CN or RAN side, which is different from the user plane path of the traditional PDU session (DN-CN(UPF)-RAN-UE). For example, the path of the computing power session includes but is not limited to the following: CN-RAN-UE, RAN-UE, CN-RAN, DN-CN(UPF)-RAN, DN-CN(UPF)-CN, CN-CN(UPF)-CN.

[0212] In some embodiments, since the computing power node can be located at the RAN side, the CN side, or the DN side, there are the following cases when establishing a computing power session:

[0213] (1) If the computing power node is at the RAN side, a computing power session at the RAN side needs to be established, and the UE can access the resources of the computing power node through the computing power session channel;

[0214] (2) If the computing power node is located at the core network / DN side, the path for the UE to access the computing power node is UE-access network-core network-DN (if located at the core network side, the end point of the path is the core network, and the DN is not included), and it is necessary to respectively establish a computing power session at the RAN side and a computing power session at the core network side, so as to finally realize the connection of the access network and the core network.

[0215] In Embodiment Three, the step S202 or the step S307 specifically includes the following step S1.

[0216] S1, if the UE determines that the computing power parameter is at least one of the expected computing power resource parameter, the expected computing power node behavior parameter, or the computing power session parameter, at least one of the establishment process, the modification process, and the release process of the computing power session is triggered according to the computing power parameter.

[0217] Specifically, when at least one of the establishment process, the modification process, and the release process of the computing power session is triggered, the following several cases are included:

[0218] (1) When the UE receives the computing power parameter to indicate that the UE is about to perform a computing power task, the UE initiates a computing power session establishment request;

[0219] (2) When the UE receives the computing power resource parameter and / or the computing power node behavior parameter, and there is a computing power node in the network that meets the current task of the UE, the UE initiates a computing power session establishment request and / or a computing power session modification request;

[0220] (3) When the QoS parameter in the computing session parameter received by the UE changes, the path strategy needs to be adjusted, and the UE initiates a computing power session modification request;

[0221] (4) When the computing session path in the computing session parameter received by the UE changes, such as the downtime of a certain network function entity in the path, the computing session path needs to be reselected, and the UE initiates a computing power session modification request;

[0222] (5) When the computing power resource parameter and / or the computing power node behavior parameter received by the UE indicates that the target computing power node in the current computing power session cannot continue to provide computing power services (such as the computing power resource size does not meet the demand, the computing power load does not meet the demand, the computing power service duration does not meet the demand, the computing power node moves the service range to cause the demand to be not met, the computing power node fails / downs / dies), the target computing node in the computing power computing session needs to be reselected, and the UE initiates a computing power session modification request;

[0223] (6) When the UE receives the expected behavior parameter of the UE to indicate that the computing power task of the UE is completed, the UE initiates a computing power session release request;

[0224] (7) When the UE receives the computing resource parameter and / or the computing session parameter, the UE initiates a computing session release request.

[0225] Specifically, the UE can send a computing session establishment request and / or a computing session modification request in the following ways:

[0226] Method one: the UE sends a computing session establishment / modification / release request to the RAN (the request only contains the RAN-side computing session), and establishes / modifies / releases the RAN-side computing session.

[0227] Method two: the UE sends a computing session establishment / modification / release request to the RAN (the request contains the RAN-side computing session and the CN-side computing session), the RAN transmits the CN computing session parameter to the SMF through the AMF, and establishes / modifies / releases the RAN-side and CN-side computing sessions respectively.

[0228] Method three: the UE sends a computing session establishment / modification / release request to the RAN (the request only contains the CN-side computing session), and the RAN computing session establishment / modification / release request is transmitted to the SMF through the AMF, and the CN-side computing session is established / modifies / releases.

[0229] In the fourth embodiment, the step S202 or the step S307 specifically includes the following steps S1-S2:

[0230] S1, if the UE determines that the computing parameter is the expected computing node behavior parameter, and the computing parameter is used to indicate that the UE is about to be shut down or powered off, a computing service migration request is sent to the first network function network element, and the computing service migration request is used to request to migrate the computing service on the UE to another UE;

[0231] S2, the first network function network element migrates the computing service on the UE to another UE based on the computing service migration request.

[0232] Specifically, when the UE1 receives the expected computing node behavior parameter subscribed, the parameter indicates that the UE1 is about to be shut down or powered off (such as battery energy depletion, load exceeding threshold value), the UE1 migrates its local computing service to the UE2. Wherein, the migration message includes but is not limited to one or more of the original UE identifier (UE1), target UE identifier (UE2), migration reason, migration strategy, etc.

[0233] Wherein, the migration strategy includes but is not limited to migration path, computing service decomposition method, etc.

[0234] In the fifth embodiment, the step S202 or the step S307 specifically includes the following steps S1-S2:

[0235] S1, if the UE determines that the computing power parameter is an expected computing power node behavior parameter, and the computing power parameter is used to indicate that a new computing power service type appears, the UE sends an application deployment request to the first network function network element.

[0236] The application deployment request includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: identification information of the UE, type of the deployed application.

[0237] S2, the first network function network element deploys the application based on the application deployment request.

[0238] Specifically, when the UE receives the subscribed expected computing power node behavior parameter, the parameter predicts that the network will appear a computing power service type (such as an XR video codec service), the UE sends an application deployment request to the first network function network element to support the upcoming computing power service.

[0239] In embodiment six, the above step S202 or step S307 specifically includes the following steps S1-S2:

[0240] S1, if the UE determines that the computing power parameter is an expected computing power resource parameter and an expected computing power node behavior parameter, and the computing power parameter is used to indicate that the service duration of the computing power node is a preset duration and / or the load of the computing power node exceeds a load threshold, the UE sends an application offloading request to the first network function network element, and the application offloading request includes identification information of the UE and / or type of the offloaded application.

[0241] S2, the first network function network element offloads the application based on the application offloading request.

[0242] FIG. 4 is a signaling interaction diagram three of the computing power parameter processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the computing power parameter processing method includes the following steps:

[0243] S401, the third network function network element sends a computing power request message to the fourth network function network element.

[0244] The computing power request message is used to request to update the computing power policy.

[0245] It should be noted that the type of the fourth network function network element is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the fourth network function network element can be a PCF.

[0246] The computing power request message includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: AF identifier, external application identifier, transmission policy, computing power scheduling policy, computing power session (i.e. communication computing power session, or computing power session) policy, and the like.

[0247] The computing power scheduling strategy can include UE identification, application information, application description information, computing power node identification, provided computing power resource size, provided computing power resource time, provided computing power resource type, provided computing power service type, computing power allocation information, load balancing strategy, and security strategy.

[0248] The computing power session strategy can include UE identification, target computing power node identification, computing task decomposition information, computing resource requirement information (including computing power resource type, computing power service type, computing power resource size, and computing power resource use duration), application information, application description information, DNN, S-NSSAI, computing power session identification, computing power session path, QoS information, and traffic information.

[0249] In some embodiments, the above information can be included in an AF session establishment or modification request message.

[0250] S402, the fourth network function network element sends a scheduling strategy update indication to the first network function network element.

[0251] The scheduling strategy update indication is used to instruct the first network function network element to update the scheduling strategy.

[0252] Specifically, the PCF makes a policy decision, determines the policy information that needs to be updated or new, determines the computing power scheduling strategy that needs to be updated to be sent to the first network function network element, determines the computing power session strategy that needs to be updated to be sent to the SMF, and determines the UE policy that needs to be updated to be sent to the UE through the AMF.

[0253] More specifically, the computing power scheduling strategy is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0254] (1) Replace the computing power node that executes the computing power task, and carry the new computing power node identification, provided computing power resource size, provided computing power resource time, provided computing power resource type, and provided computing power service type in the computing power scheduling strategy.

[0255] (2) Update the computing power allocation information of multiple computing power nodes, and carry the computing power node identification that needs to be updated and the corresponding computing power allocation information in the computing power scheduling strategy.

[0256] (3) Replace the computing power session path: carry the selected computing power session path in the computing power session strategy.

[0257] (4) Replace the application information that initiates the computing power request when executing the computing power task: carry the new application information and application description information in the computing power scheduling strategy.

[0258] (5) Replace the computing power service type: carry the new computing power service type and / or the computing power node information supporting the computing power service type in the computing power scheduling strategy.

[0259] S403, the first network function network element updates the scheduling strategy for the computing power node corresponding to the computing power scheduling strategy according to the scheduling strategy update instruction.

[0260] Specifically, when the first network function network element updates the scheduling strategy, the following several cases are included:

[0261] (1) When receiving the strategy of the computing power node executing the computing power task, the first network function network element issues the computing power task to the new computing power node, carrying the computing power task identifier and the computing power scheduling strategy therein.

[0262] The first network function network element can also issue a computing power task termination request to the old computing power node, carrying the computing power task identifier and the termination reason therein.

[0263] (2) When receiving the strategy of updating the computing power allocation information of multiple computing power nodes, the first network function network element sends a computing power task update message to each computing power node that needs to be reallocated computing power, carrying the computing power task identifier, computing power allocation information, and other information therein.

[0264] (3) When receiving the strategy of updating the application information of the computing power request, the first network function network element sends a computing power task update message to the computing power node executing the current computing power task, carrying the computing power task identifier, application information, and application description information therein.

[0265] (4) When receiving the strategy of changing the computing power service type, the first network function network element can trigger one or more of the following operations:

[0266] ① If the computing power node currently executing the computing power task supports the new computing power service type, the first network function network element sends a computing power task update message to the computing power node, carrying the computing power task identifier and the provided computing power service type therein.

[0267] ② If the computing power node currently executing the computing power task does not support the new computing power service type, the first network function network element can trigger different operations according to whether the computing power node identifier is included in the computing power scheduling strategy:
