Abstract
Description
Method and apparatus for transmitting address, communication equipment, communication system, storage medium Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for transmitting address, communication equipment, communication system, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] In communication systems, with the booming development of intelligent services such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), and the Industrial Internet, the demand for computing power at terminals is becoming increasingly urgent. Optionally, computing nodes in the network can typically share their surplus computing power with terminals. For example, the network can schedule computing nodes to execute computing tasks on the terminal. After completing the task, the computing node will send the result back to the terminal through the terminal's serving base station (such as the base station the terminal is connected to), thereby achieving computing power sharing among computing nodes and saving terminal power consumption.
[0003] However, when the terminal's serving base station is switched, how to ensure the continuity of interaction between the computing power node and the base station after the switch is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0238] In the above embodiments, it is explained how the first access network device receives the first information and how it sends the second information so that the first access network device can successfully receive the first information and successfully send the second information.
[0239] In the above embodiments, after the terminal switches to the first access network device, the first access network device can send input data for the computing power task to the first device, so that the first device can execute the computing power task based on the input data. Furthermore, after the computing power task is completed, the first device can also send output data for the computing power task to the first access network device, thereby ensuring the continuity of computing power services after the terminal base station switch. Moreover, in this disclosure, by sharing the terminal's computing power with computing power nodes, the terminal's computational overhead and power consumption can be reduced, and the user's service experience can be improved.

[0382] Optionally, the second information may also be used to indicate at least one of the following: a first identifier, a task identifier for the computing task, or a terminal identifier for the terminal. For a detailed description of the first identifier, please refer to the description in step 2103 above.
[0383] For example, suppose the terminal includes three computing tasks, namely computing task #1, computing task #2, and computing task #3; wherein the task identifiers corresponding to computing task #1, computing task #2, and computing task #3 are, respectively: task identifier #1, task identifier #2, and task identifier #3. The first transmission address corresponding to computing task #1 in the first access network device is: address #1, the first transmission address corresponding to computing task #2 in the first access network device is: address #2, and the first transmission address corresponding to computing task #3 in the first access network device is: address #3. Furthermore, suppose that in step 2101 above, the terminal requests the second device to allocate computing resources for computing task #1 and computing task #2, and in step 2102 above, the second device determines that the first device will execute the terminal's computing task #1 and computing task #2, then the second information here can be used to indicate at least one of the following: first identifier, task identifier #1, task identifier #2, terminal identifier, address #1, and address #2.
[0384] Step 2106: The first access network device sends the input data of the computing power task to the first device.
[0385] Optionally, the input data may be sent from the second access network device to the first access network device during base station handover, or the input data may be sent from the terminal to the first access network device.
[0386] In some embodiments, the first access network device can send input data to the first device based on a first transmission address. For example, the first access network device can send the input data of the computing task to the first device based on the first transmission address corresponding to the computing task.
[0387] Optionally, in some embodiments, step 2106 is optional to be performed; it may or may not be performed. Optionally, step 2106 may not be performed in the following two cases.
[0388] The first method: The third request in step 2101 above indicates the input data for the computing task, and after the second device receives the third request and identifies the first device, the second device directly sends the input data indicated by the third request to the first device.
[0389] The second method: After receiving the response message sent by the second device in step 2103 above, the second access network device sends the input data of the computing power task to the first device.
[0390] Step 2107: The first device performs the computing task.
[0391] Optionally, the first device may execute the computing task based on the input data of the computing task.
[0392] Step 2108: The first device determines the output data of the computing task.
[0393] Step 2109: The first device sends the output data of the computing power task to the first access network device based on the first transmission address.
[0394] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first device may send the output data of the computing power task to the first access network device based on the first transmission address corresponding to each computing power task.
[0395] For example, suppose the first device executes computing tasks #1 and #2 on the terminal. The task identifiers corresponding to computing tasks #1 and #2 are task identifier #1 and task identifier #2, respectively. The first transmission address in the first access network device corresponding to computing task #1 is address #1, and the first transmission address in the first access network device corresponding to computing task #2 is address #2. Then, the first device can send the output data of computing task #1 to the first access network device based on address #1, and send the output data of computing task #2 to the first access network device based on address #2.
[0396] Optionally, when the first device sends the output data of the computing power task to the first access network device, it may also indicate the task identifier of the computing power task corresponding to the output data, so that the first access network device can know which computing power task the output data specifically belongs to.
[0397] Step 2110: The first access network device sends the output data of the computing power task to the terminal.
[0398] Step 2111: The first device sends a second instruction and / or a first signaling to the first access network device based on the first transmission address.
[0399] Optionally, the second indication and the first signaling can be used to indicate that the output data transmission is complete. Optionally, the second indication can be an end marker.
[0400] Optionally, when the output data transmission is complete, the first device may send a second instruction and / or a first signaling to the first access network device based on the first transmission address.
[0401] Step 2112: The first access network device sends a second instruction and / or a first signaling to the terminal.
[0402] Step 2113: The first access network device releases the first resource and / or the first transmission address.
[0403] Optionally, the first resource may include resources for sending and / or receiving first data. The first resource may, for example, include air interface resources and / or transmission resources.
[0404] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned "first access network device releases first resource" can be understood as: the first access network device no longer uses the first resource to send or receive first data, but can use the first resource to transmit other data and / or other signaling besides the first data.
[0405] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned "first access network device releases first transmission address" can be understood as: the first access network device no longer uses the first transmission address for the transmission of first data, but can use the first transmission address for the transmission of other data and / or other signaling.
[0406] In the above embodiments, when the terminal is about to switch to the first access network device or has already switched to the first access network device, the first access network device receives first information, which is used to indicate information related to at least one computing power task of the terminal; the first access network device also sends second information, which is used to indicate the first transmission address of the first access network device, which is used to transmit first data, which is the data that needs to be transmitted when performing the computing power task. Therefore, in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the terminal is about to switch to the first access network device or has already switched to the first access network device, the first access network device sends the first transmission address so that other devices (such as computing power nodes used to perform terminal computing power tasks) can know the first transmission address of the first access network device based on the first transmission address. Thus, after the terminal switches to the first access network device, the computing power nodes can send the first data to the first access network device based on the first transmission address, thereby ensuring the continuity of computing power services after the terminal base station switch. Furthermore, in this disclosure, by sharing the computing power of the terminal with computing power nodes, the terminal's computing overhead and power consumption can be reduced, and the user's service experience can be improved.
[0407] In the above embodiments, a first transmission address can be assigned to each different computing power task. Based on the first transmission address corresponding to each different computing power task, the first data corresponding to each different computing power task can be transmitted in an orderly manner, ensuring the orderliness of communication.
[0408] In the above embodiments, the specific indication content of the first information is described, which may indicate at least one of the following: a task identifier for the computing task, a first device for executing the computing task, a second device for managing the first device, and a terminal identifier for the terminal. After receiving the first information, the first access network device can determine which first device is executing which computing task for which terminal. Then, the first access network device can send the first transmission address corresponding to the terminal's computing task to the first device. The first device can then accurately send the first data corresponding to the computing task to the first access network device based on the first transmission address. This ensures both the continuity of computing services after the terminal base station handover and the accuracy of the computing services.
[0409] In the above embodiments, it is explained that the second information may also indicate at least one of the following: a first identifier, a task identifier for the computing power task, or a terminal identifier for the terminal. Therefore, after receiving the second information sent by the first access network device, other devices (such as the computing power node used to execute the terminal's computing power task, i.e., the first device) can determine, based on the second information, which terminal's first data the first transmission address indicated by the second information is specifically used to transmit. Thus, the first device can send accurate first data to the first access network device specifically based on the first transmission address, thereby ensuring both the continuity of computing power services after the terminal base station handover and the accuracy of the computing power services.
[0410] In the above embodiments, when the first data transmission is completed, the first device may send a second instruction and / or a first signaling to the first access network device to notify the first access network device that the first data transmission is completed, so that the first access network device can release the first transmission address to other transmissions in a timely manner, and / or release the carrying resources of the first data to other transmissions in a timely manner, thereby avoiding resource idleness, improving resource utilization, and preventing resource waste.
[0411] The transmission address sending method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2113. For example, step 2101 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and steps 2101+2102 may be implemented as standalone embodiments, but are not limited thereto.
[0412] In this implementation or embodiment, unless there is contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other implementations or other embodiments.

[0510] Optionally, the second request can be used to request the first information. For example, the second request could be a Retrieve UE context request message.
[0511] Step 2511: The second access network device sends the first information to the first access network device.
[0512] Optionally, this first information may be carried in the Retrieve UE context response message.
[0513] Step 2512: The first access network device sends the second information to the second access network device.
[0514] Step 2513: The second access network device sends the output data of the computing power task to the first access network device based on the first transmission address.
[0515] Optionally, after receiving the output data of the computing task, the first access network device can also send the output data to the terminal.
[0516] For a detailed description of steps 2501-2513, please refer to the embodiment described in Figure 2A above.
[0517] It should be noted that in some embodiments, after step 2513 is executed, the first access network device may also send a first transmission address to the first device, so that the first device can subsequently send first data to the first access network device based on the first transmission address. Optionally, the first access network device may send the first transmission address to the first device using any of the methods shown in Figures 2A-2C. For example, in some embodiments, after the first access network device obtains the first information, it may also send second information to the first device, which the first device can receive. Alternatively, the first access network device may send second information to the second device, which, after receiving the second information, may send second information back to the first device. Thus, the first device and the first access network device can transmit computing task-related data based on the first transmission address indicated by the second information.
[0518] In the above embodiments, when the terminal is about to switch to the first access network device or has already switched to the first access network device, the first access network device receives first information, which is used to indicate information related to at least one computing power task of the terminal; the first access network device also sends second information, which is used to indicate the first transmission address of the first access network device, which is used to transmit first data, which is the data that needs to be transmitted when performing the computing power task. Therefore, in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the terminal is about to switch to the first access network device or has already switched to the first access network device, the first access network device sends the first transmission address so that other devices (such as computing power nodes used to perform terminal computing power tasks) can know the first transmission address of the first access network device based on the first transmission address. Thus, after the terminal switches to the first access network device, the computing power nodes can send the first data to the first access network device based on the first transmission address, thereby ensuring the continuity of computing power services after the terminal base station switch. Furthermore, in this disclosure, by sharing the computing power of the terminal with computing power nodes, the terminal's computing overhead and power consumption can be reduced, and the user's service experience can be improved.
[0519] In the above embodiments, a first transmission address can be assigned to each different computing power task. Based on the first transmission address corresponding to each different computing power task, the first data corresponding to each different computing power task can be transmitted in an orderly manner, ensuring the orderliness of communication.
[0520] In the above embodiments, the specific indication content of the first information is described, which may indicate at least one of the following: a task identifier for the computing task, a first device for executing the computing task, a second device for managing the first device, and a terminal identifier for the terminal. After receiving the first information, the first access network device can determine which first device is executing which computing task for which terminal. Then, the first access network device can send the first transmission address corresponding to the terminal's computing task to the first device. The first device can then accurately send the first data corresponding to the computing task to the first access network device based on the first transmission address. This ensures both the continuity of computing services after the terminal base station handover and the accuracy of the computing services.
[0521] In the above embodiments, it is explained that the second information may also indicate at least one of the following: a first identifier, a task identifier for the computing power task, or a terminal identifier for the terminal. Therefore, after receiving the second information sent by the first access network device, other devices (such as the computing power node used to execute the terminal's computing power task, i.e., the first device) can determine, based on the second information, which terminal's first data the first transmission address indicated by the second information is specifically used to transmit. Thus, the first device can send accurate first data to the first access network device specifically based on the first transmission address, thereby ensuring both the continuity of computing power services after the terminal base station handover and the accuracy of the computing power services.
[0522] In the above embodiments, when the first data transmission is completed, the first device may send a second instruction and / or a first signaling to the first access network device to notify the first access network device that the first data transmission is completed, so that the first access network device can release the first transmission address to other transmissions in a timely manner, and / or release the carrying resources of the first data to other transmissions in a timely manner, thereby avoiding resource idleness, improving resource utilization, and preventing resource waste.
[0523] In the above embodiments, the method disclosed herein can also be applied to the scenario of base station handover when the terminal is inactive, thereby ensuring the continuity of computing power services after base station handover when the terminal is inactive.
[0524] The transmission address sending method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps 2501 to 2513. For example, step 2501 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2502 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and step 2501+2502 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, but is not limited thereto.
[0525] In this implementation or embodiment, unless there is contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other implementations or other embodiments.

[0689] Optionally, the target RAN mentioned below can be understood as the first access network device in the foregoing embodiments, the source RAN can be understood as the second access network device in the foregoing embodiments, the CF can be understood as the first device in the foregoing embodiments, and the CCF can be understood as the second device in the foregoing embodiments.
[0690] Optionally, if the UE becomes mobile before a computing power sharing task is completed, how to ensure the exchange of computing power-related data between the computing power node and the UE is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0691] This disclosure provides a method to support the continuity of computing power sharing.
[0692] Optional embodiments
[0693] 1. How to ensure the transmission of computing-related data between the UE and the Computing Function via the data plane after the UE moves?
[0694] Case 1: In a specific computing power sharing task, the data plane used to transmit computing data needs to maintain a logical connection, that is, the UE needs to remain in the connected state.
[0695] - Method 1: During the handover process, the source base station indicates the computing power-related context (e.g., CF address information corresponding to different tasks) to the target base station. After the handover is completed, the target base station sends the information used by the target base station for computing data transmission (e.g., serving RAN address information corresponding to different tasks) to the CF (Example 1).
[0696] - Method 2: After the handover is complete, the CCF indicates the computing power-related context to the target base station, and the target base station sends the information used by the target base station for computing data transmission to the CF. (Example 2)
[0697] - Method 3: After the handover is completed, the CCF indicates the computing power-related context to the target base station, the target base station feeds back information for computing data transmission to the CCF, and the CCF sends an update of the transmission information to the CF. (Example 3)
[0698] Case 2: In a specific computing power sharing task, the data plane used to transmit computing data does not need to maintain a connection at all times, that is, the UE can enter an idle or inactive state.
[0699] - Method 4: For idle UEs, the CF notifies the CCF after the calculation is completed. The CCF initiates a paging process. After the UE responds to the paging, a new data plane is established for data transmission (Example 4).
[0700] - Method 5: For inactive UEs, the CF sends the data to the last serving RAN after calculation. The last serving RAN initiates a paging process. After the UE responds to the paging, it re-establishes the data plane for data transmission (Example 5).
[0701] 2. After data transmission is complete, the end marker can be used to indicate that the transmission is complete, so as to release the corresponding air interface resources and / or transmission resources.
[0702] Embodiment 1 of this disclosure
[0703] Figure 5E is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a transmission address according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5E, the method of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
[0704] Step 100: The UE requests computing resources from the network through the CCF, and the CCF allocates computing resources from the CF to the UE. For example, the computing resources are used for training the UE's AI model, but are not limited to this. The CF obtains the data to be computed and performs the computation.
[0705] In some embodiments, CCF and CF can be the same.
[0706] In some embodiments, the CCF and the source RAN can be the same.
[0707] In some embodiments, the CF and the source RAN can be the same.
[0708] Step 101: The CCF sends a first message to the source RAN (i.e., the UE's serving base station), wherein the first message is used to indicate information on the UE's computing power context update.
[0709] In some embodiments, step 101 may be performed during step 100.
[0710] In some embodiments, the first message includes UE computing power-related context information, which may be at least one of the following:
[0711] -CCF ID, used to indicate the CCF information of the serving UE;
[0712] -Task ID, used to indicate a specific shared computing power task;
[0713] -CF information, used to indicate the computing power nodes participating in the computing power sharing task, such as SF ID and / or SF transport address information (e.g., IP address);
[0714] UE ID.
[0715] In some embodiments, the CCF can be an access network device and / or a core network device.
[0716] In some embodiments, the CF can be an access network device, a core network device, and / or a terminal device.
[0717] In step 102, the UE's serving RAN changes (e.g., handover), and the source RAN sends a second message (e.g., a handover request message) to the target RAN.
[0718] In some embodiments, the second message may include context information related to the UE's computing power.
[0719] Step 103: After the UE handover is completed, the target RAN sends a third message to the CF based on the context information related to the UE's computing power. The third message is used to indicate the address information of the data plane, and the data plane is used to transmit information for computation (computation input, output, etc.).
[0720] In some embodiments, the address information of the data plane includes at least one of the following:
[0721] -CCF ID, used to indicate the CCF information of the serving UE;
[0722] -Task ID, used to indicate a specific shared computing power task;
[0723] -Transmission address information, used to indicate the transport layer address information on the target RAN used for transmitting data plane data;
[0724] UE ID.
[0725] In some embodiments, the address information of the data plane includes one or more. That is, different tasks use different transport layer information.
[0726] The CF establishes a data plane logical connection with the target RAN based on the address information of the data plane, and uses the corresponding transmission information to transmit data related to computation, such as the input or output of the computation.
[0727] In some embodiments, if the computation-related data transmission is completed, the peer can be notified of the completion of the transmission via a first identifier.
[0728] In some embodiments, if the CF has transmitted all the calculated data, it can send an end marker on the data plane. Upon receiving the end marker, the base station serving the UE can confirm the transmission is complete and perform a first operation. This first operation includes: releasing the corresponding communication bearer and resources, and / or releasing transport layer resources (including transport layer addresses).
[0729] Example 2:
[0730] Figure 5F is a flowchart illustrating a method for sending a transmission address according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5F, the method of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
[0731] Step 200 is the same as step 100, and will not be repeated here.
[0732] Step 201: After the UE hands over, the CCF determines that the UE's serving base station has changed, and the CCF sends a fourth message to the target RAN node. This fourth message requests address information for data transmission.
[0733] In some embodiments, the fourth message includes context information related to the UE's computing power, the specific content of which is consistent with the description in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0734] Step 202: The target RAN sends a third message to the CF based on the context information related to the UE's computing power. The specific content and behavior are the same as in step 103, and will not be repeated here.
[0735] Example 3
[0736] Figure 5G is a flowchart illustrating a transmission address transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5G, the method of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
[0737] Step 300 is the same as step 100, so it will not be repeated here.
[0738] Step 301 is the same as step 201, and will not be repeated here.
[0739] Step 302: The target RAN sends a fifth message to the CCF based on the context information related to the UE's computing power. This fifth message indicates the address information of the data plane, and its content is consistent with that in step 103.
[0740] In step 303, the CCF sends a sixth message to the CF, which includes the address information of the data plane. The behavior of the CF after receiving the sixth message is the same as in step 103, and will not be described again here.
[0741] Example 4
[0742] Figure 5H is a flowchart illustrating a transmission address sending method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5H, the method of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
[0743] Step 400 is the same as step 100, so it will not be repeated here.
[0744] Step 401: The UE enters the idle state. If the CF completes the computation task, it needs to send the computation task back to the UE. The CF sends a sixth message to the CCF, which indicates that the computation is complete.
[0745] In some embodiments, the sixth message includes at least one of the following:
[0746] -Calculation complete indication
[0747] -Task ID
[0748] -UE ID, used to indicate the UE associated with the computing task.
[0749] Step 402: The CCF initiates a paging process to the UE. After the UE responds to the network, the steps in Examples 2-3 can be executed.
[0750] In some embodiments, the paging message may include a first reason to indicate the reason for paging, wherein the first reason may be used to indicate information indicating the completion of the computing task.
[0751] Example 5
[0752] Figure 5I is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a transmission address according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5I, the method of the present disclosure may include the following steps:
[0753] Step 500 is the same as step 100, so it will not be repeated here.
[0754] Step 501: The UE enters the inactive state. If the CF completes its computation task, the CF transmits the computing data to the last serving RAN. The last serving RAN then initiates a paging process.
[0755] Step 502: The UE responds to the paging and sends a connection restoration request to the currently serving RAN.
[0756] Step 503: The current serving RAN sends a UE context retrieval request message to the last serving RAN.
[0757] Step 504: The last serving RAN sends a UE context retrieval feedback message to the current serving RAN.
[0758] The message includes context information related to the UE's computing power.
[0759] Step 505: The current serving RAN sends forwarding address information to the last serving RAN, so that the last serving RAN can send the received data to the current serving RAN through the address information, and then send it to the UE.
[0760] The remaining steps can be found in Examples 1-3.

[0762] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. Furthermore, the units or modules in the device can be implemented by a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor connected to a memory containing instructions. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD).

The connection relationships between the logic gates are configured through configuration files, thereby achieving the functionality of some or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-called software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-called software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.

In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
