[0060] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the method, terminal, and network-side equipment for implementing computing power services through application data channels provided in this application, using some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0061] Figure 2 shows a flowchart of a method for implementing computing power services using an application data channel according to an embodiment of this application. This method 200 can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 2, the method may include the following steps.

[0062] S202: The terminal performs any of the following: updates the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, or establishes the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information.

[0063] The target ADC is used for the transmission of business data.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, the first computing power resource information may be the computing power resource information of the terminal's local location, or it may be the computing power resource information obtained from the IMS network side device, and the specific is not limited.

[0065] In this embodiment, using an ADC to carry service data allows for flexible support of various application needs while ensuring service quality. Examples include screen sharing, intelligent translation, content sharing, and interactive calls. These features provide users with a more engaging and diverse service experience, and also help operators enhance the commercial value of their basic services. As emerging technologies such as AR, VR, and AI evolve towards interactive and immersive experiences, more complex interactive needs are emerging, leading to increasing computing power demands in services. The method provided in this embodiment can be applied to terminals with computing power requirements, enabling the terminal's computing services through a target ADC and improving the user's service experience.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, the three steps in step S202 above include two schemes, as follows:

[0067] Solution 1: The terminal updates the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and the target ADC is used for the transmission of service data.

[0068] The second option is to establish a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and the target ADC is used for the transmission of service data.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, the first computing power resource information may include various types of information, wherein the first computing power resource information may include at least one of the following:

[0070] 1) Computing resource description information, which describes the information related to the first computing resource used by the business data.

[0071] For example, computing resource description information includes task information after task subdivision for business processing, execution location of each task (terminal or network), quality of service information (overall or related to each task), tasks executed by the network, address information or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information for receiving business data, etc.

[0072] 2) Bearer resource description information, which describes the information related to the bearer resources required for transmitting service data; wherein, the bearer resource description information may include at least one of the following: bandwidth, jitter, and latency.

[0073] 3) Computing resource type, used to describe the type information of the first computing resource.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the above method may further include:

[0075] The terminal transmits service data through the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information.

[0076] Accordingly, the two solutions mentioned above can specifically include:

[0077] Solution 1: The terminal updates the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and the terminal transmits service data through the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information.

[0078] The second option is to establish a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and then transmit service data through the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, in one implementation of the first scheme described above, before the terminal updates the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, it may further include: the terminal establishing a first IMS session and a target ADC, and obtaining the first computing power resource information through the target ADC. Accordingly, the terminal updating the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information may include: the terminal updating the first IMS session based on the first computing power resource information to update the target ADC.

[0080] In this application embodiment, in another implementation of the first scheme described above, the terminal updating the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information may include: the terminal adding a new streaming channel in the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, wherein the newly added streaming channel is used for the transmission of service data.

[0081] In this application embodiment, in the second scheme described above, under one implementation, before the terminal establishes the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, it may further include: the terminal establishing a first IMS session and a first ADC, and obtaining the first computing power resource information through the first ADC. Correspondingly, the terminal establishing the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information may include: the terminal updating the first IMS session based on the first computing power resource information to establish the target ADC.

[0082] In this application embodiment, in the second scheme described above, under another implementation, the terminal establishing a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information may include: the terminal establishing a second IMS session based on the first computing power resource information to establish the target ADC.

[0083] The establishment of a second IMS session by the aforementioned terminal based on the first computing resource information may include: the terminal sending a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invitation message to the IMS network-side device to request the establishment of a second IMS session. The SIP invitation message carries the first computing resource information.

[0084] For example, a terminal can forward a SIP invitation message to the IMS application server (AS) through the Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) to request the establishment of a second IMS session. The SIP invitation message carries the first computing resource information.

[0085] In this embodiment of the application, in the scenario where the terminal sends a SIP invitation message to the IMS network-side device, the method may further include: the terminal receiving a response message to the SIP invitation message from the IMS network-side device. This response message carries second computing power resource information. In this way, the terminal can obtain the second computing power resource information from the network side.

[0086] For example, the terminal receives a SIP 200 message sent by the IMS AS via P-CSCF, wherein the SIP 200 message carries second computing resource information.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, when the terminal obtains the second computing power resource information, the terminal may also perform at least one of the following:

[0088] 1) Based on the second computing power resource information, business data is transmitted through the target ADC;

[0089] 2) Based on the second computing power resource information, update the second IMS session to update the target ADC.

[0090] Wherein, when the terminal obtains the second computing power resource information, the above-mentioned second solution may include one of the following:

[0091] 1) The terminal establishes a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and transmits service data through the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information;

[0092] 2) The terminal establishes a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and the terminal transmits service data through the target ADC based on the second computing power resource information;

[0093] 3) The terminal establishes a target ADC based on the first computing power resource information, and transmits service data through the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information and the second computing power resource information.

[0094] In this embodiment of the application, the aforementioned second computing power resource information may include at least one of the following:

[0095] 1) Computing resource description information, which describes information related to the second computing resource used by business data.

[0096] 2) Bearer resource description information, which describes the information related to the bearer resources required for transmitting service data; wherein, the bearer resource description information may include at least one of the following: bandwidth, jitter, and latency.

[0097] 3) Computing resource type, used to describe the type information of the second computing resource.

[0098] The method provided in this application update the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information or establish the target ADC based on the first computing power resource information through the terminal. The target ADC is used for the transmission of service data, and the computing power service is realized on the terminal based on the ADC.

[0099] Figure 3 illustrates another flowchart of the method for implementing computing power services using the application data channel provided in this application embodiment. This method 300 can be executed by a computing application server (Computing AS). As shown in Figure 3, the method may include the following steps.

[0100] S302: The computing power application server performs at least one of the following: sending first computing power resource information to the terminal; receiving the first computing power resource information sent by the terminal; and sending second computing power resource information to the terminal based on the first computing power resource information.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, step S302 can specifically include the following three schemes:

[0102] Option 1: The computing power application server sends the first computing power resource information to the terminal.

[0103] The second approach: The computing power application server receives the first computing power resource information sent by the terminal, and sends the second computing power resource information to the terminal based on the first computing power resource information.

[0104] The third approach: The computing power application server sends first computing power resource information to the terminal, receives the computing power resource information sent by the terminal, and sends second computing power resource information to the terminal based on the computing power resource information sent by the terminal. In this scenario, the computing power resource information sent by the terminal can be the same as or different from the first computing power resource information received by the terminal; there is no specific limitation.

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the first computing power resource information may include multiple types of information, and / or the second computing power resource information may include multiple types of information, and / or the computing power resource information sent by the terminal may include multiple types of information, and the specific information is not limited.

[0106] The first computing power resource information may include at least one of the following:

[0107] 1) Computing resource description information, which describes the information related to the first computing resource used by the business data.

[0108] 2) Bearer resource description information, which describes the information related to the bearer resources required for transmitting service data; wherein, the bearer resource description information may include at least one of the following: bandwidth, jitter, and latency.

[0109] 3) Computing resource type, used to describe the type information of the first computing resource.

[0110] The second computing resource information may include at least one of the following:

[0111] 1) Computing resource description information, which describes information related to the second computing resource used by business data.

[0112] 2) Bearer resource description information, which describes the information related to the bearer resources required for transmitting service data; wherein, the bearer resource description information may include at least one of the following: bandwidth, jitter, and latency.

[0113] 3) Computing resource type, used to describe the type information of the second computing resource.

[0114] For ease of description, the computing resource information sent by the terminal can also be referred to as third-party computing resource information. Third-party computing resource information may include at least one of the following:

[0115] 1) Computing resource description information, which describes information related to the third computing resources used by business data.

[0116] 2) Bearer resource description information, which describes the information related to the bearer resources required for transmitting service data; wherein, the bearer resource description information may include at least one of the following: bandwidth, jitter, and latency.

[0117] 3) Computing resource type, used to describe the type information of the third computing resource.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, the above method may further include:

[0119] The computing power application server, based on at least one of the first computing power resource information and the second computing power resource information, instructs the Media Function (MF) to allocate resources for the target ADC to the terminal. The target ADC is used to transmit service data.

[0120] In this embodiment of the application, the aforementioned first computing power resource information can be sent to the terminal through the target ADC.

[0121] In this embodiment of the application, the above method may further include:

[0122] The computing power application server calculates the bearer resource description information in the second computing power resource information based on at least one of the computing power resource description information and computing power resource type in the first computing power resource information.

[0123] In this embodiment of the application, the first computing power resource information can be carried through a SIP invitation message, and the second computing power resource information can be carried through a response message to the SIP invitation message.

[0124] For example, the IMS AS receives a SIP invitation message sent by the terminal through the P-CSCF. The SIP invitation message carries first computing resource information. The IMS AS then sends a response message to the terminal through the P-CSCF, which carries second computing resource information.

[0125] In this embodiment of the application, the first computing resource information in both the first and third schemes can be sent to the terminal via the first ADC. The first ADC is established by the terminal through the IMS network.

[0126] The method provided in this application embodiment sends first computing power resource information to the terminal through a computing power application server; and / or, the computing power application server receives the first computing power resource information sent by the terminal and sends second computing power resource information to the terminal based on the first computing power resource information, thereby enabling the network side to provide computing power resource information to the terminal, which helps the terminal to implement computing power services based on ADC.

[0127] Figure 4 illustrates another flowchart of the method for implementing computing power services using an application data channel provided in this application embodiment. This method 400 can be executed by a Data Channel Service Function (DCSF). As shown in Figure 4, the method may include the following steps.

[0128] S402: DCSF performs an authorization operation based on at least one of the following: receiving first computing resource information sent by the terminal; receiving second computing resource information sent by the computing application server.

[0129] In this embodiment of the application, step S402 can specifically include the following three schemes:

[0130] Option 1: DCSF performs authorization operations based on the first computing resource information received from the terminal.

[0131] The second option: DCSF performs the authorization operation based on the second computing resource information sent by the computing power application server.

[0132] The third approach: DCSF performs the authorization operation based on the first computing power resource information received from the terminal and the second computing power resource information received from the computing power application server.

[0133] In this embodiment of the application, the above method may further include: DCSF performing an authorization operation based on the terminal's subscription information.

[0134] In this embodiment of the application, the above-mentioned authorization operation refers to authorizing the computing power resource request initiated by the terminal. DCSF can authorize the terminal within the scope allowed by the terminal's contract information.

[0135] For example, if the terminal's subscription information allows a bandwidth of 800M, and the terminal requests a bandwidth of 1000M, then the bandwidth authorized by DCSF will be less than or equal to 800M, such as 700M. Alternatively, if the terminal requests a bandwidth of 500M, then the bandwidth authorized by DCSF will be less than or equal to 800M, such as 500M.

[0136] The method provided in this application embodiment performs an authorization operation based on at least one of the following by DCSF: receiving first computing power resource information sent by the terminal; receiving second computing power resource information sent by the computing power application server, thereby enabling the network side to authorize computing power resource information to the terminal, which helps the terminal to implement computing power services based on ADC.

[0137] Figure 5 illustrates another flowchart of the method for implementing computing power services using an application data channel provided in this application embodiment, which is completed through interaction between multiple devices on the terminal and network side. As shown in Figure 5, the method may include the following steps.

[0138] Step 1: The calling terminal sends a SIP INVITE message, carrying Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer#1. The P-CSCF forwards the SIP INVITE message to the IMS AS.

[0139] The SIP INVITE message may include ADC resource information such as ADC info#1, such as Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) information (including but not limited to local address, port number, etc.), and APP information (such as APP ID, used by the network to know the application using the corresponding ADC).

[0140] In addition, the target in a SIP INVITE message can be related to a service, such as a SIP INVITE message carrying a Public Service Identifier (PSI).

[0141] In one implementation, the content related to the ADC in SDP offer#1 can be exemplified as follows:

[0142] m=application 54111UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0143] c = IN IP6 2001:DB8::A8FD

[0144] a = sctp-port:5000

[0145] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0146] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="msrp"

[0147] The example above indicates that the APP on the UE with APP ID is computing-application, and it expects to establish an ADC based on UDP, DTLS or SCTP protocol. The UE's local address is IPv6 2001:DB8::A8FD, the local UDP port is 54111, the local SCTP protocol port is 5000, and the stream channel with stream ID 2 above SCTP uses the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) to transmit data.

[0148] Step 2: The IMS AS requests the DCSF to instruct on how to process the ADC resource information in SDP offer #1 (e.g., sending target information and SDP offer #1 to the DCSF). The DCSF determines whether the ADC is related to computing power services based on the ADC resource information and / or target information, and authorizes the user to establish the ADC based on user subscription and / or network policy information.

[0149] In one implementation, the DCSF can also select the Computing AS based on the APP ID and return the connection information between the Computing AS and the MF or the URL of the Computing AS to the DCSF.

[0150] For example, DCSF can send a request for connection information (such as protocol, port, etc.) to Computing AS, or DCSF can send an HTTP / S message targeting a URL to obtain connection information between Computing AS and MF or the URL of Computing AS.

[0151] Step 3: The IMS AS instructs the MF to reserve connection resources to assist in establishing the ADC between the UE and the Computing AS. The MF allocates connection resources to forward the interaction information between the UE and the Computing AS. Based on the above configuration, the MF can enable the transmission of interaction information between the UE and the Computing AS through this ADC.

[0152] For example, the IMS AS sends ADC info#1 to the MF, as well as connection information between the Computing AS and the MF, or the URL of the Computing AS.

[0153] Step 4: The MF returns ADC info#2 to the IMS AS for the UE to establish ADC. The MF will send the information received from the resource identified by ADC info#2 to the Computing AS through the channel identified by the connection information between the Computing AS and the MF, or send the received information to the Computing AS via a URL using the HTTP / S protocol.

[0154] Step 5: The IMS AS sends a SIP 200 message to the UE via the P-CSCF, carrying SDP answer #1, which includes ADC info #2, to negotiate ADC resource information with the UE, thereby enabling the UE to establish an ADC.

[0155] Step 6: The UE and MF establish an ADC channel based on SDP offer#1 and SDP answer#1.

[0156] Step 7: The UE sends computing power requirement information to the Computing AS via MF.

[0157] Step 8: The Computing AS allocates computing resources based on the Chargeable Resource Function (CRF) and calculates the corresponding computing communication resource requirements.

[0158] The computing power communication resource requirements include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: data transmission bandwidth requirements, latency, jitter, etc.

[0159] Step 9: The Computing AS sends the computing power allocation results and computing power communication resource requirements to the UE via MF.

[0160] Step 10: The Computing AS sends the Computing Resource Connection Information (CRF info) to the DCSF.

[0161] The computing resource connection information may include one or more resource zones, without specific limitations. A resource zone includes one or more computing task scheduling modules, which can perform distributed concurrent or serial calls to various resources in that zone to complete a computing task.

[0162] CRF info can also be a URL.

[0163] Optionally, Computing AS can also send the aforementioned computing power communication resource requests.

[0164] Step 11: Based on the acquired computing power and communication resource requirements and computing power allocation results (such as how many areas were allocated), the UE sends a SIP reINVITE message to update the IMS session, carrying the updated SDP offer#2, which includes ADC info#3 and computing power and communication resource requirements information.

[0165] The aforementioned IMS session update can be implemented in two ways: updating the IMS session to update the ADC, or updating the IMS session to establish the ADC. Examples are given below for each:

[0166] In the implementation of updating the IMS session to update the ADC, an example of the content related to ADC and computing power communication resource requirements in SDP offer #2 is as follows:

[0167] m=application 54111UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0168] c = IN IP6 2001:DB8::A8FD

[0169] a = sctp-port:5000

[0170] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0171] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="msrp"

[0172] a=dcmap:3subprotocol="http"

[0173] b = CT:128

[0174] The example above shows the addition of a new stream channel with stream ID 3 for transmitting data related to computing power communication (using HTTP protocol over UDP, DTLS, or SCTP; the new stream channel requires 128kbps bandwidth). This example uses a Computing AS that has allocated computing resources within a resource area; accordingly, a new stream channel can be added to transmit computing data. In practical applications, if the Computing AS has allocated a resource area, multiple stream channels can be added to transmit computing data; the specific number is not limited.

[0175] In the implementation of updating the IMS session to establish an ADC, the following is an example of the content related to ADC and computing power communication resource requirements in SDP offer #2:

[0176] m=application 54111UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0177] c = IN IP6 2001:DB8::A8FD

[0178] a = sctp-port:5000

[0179] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0180] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="msrp"

[0181] m=application 54111UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0182] c = IN IP6 2001:DB8::A8FD

[0183] a = sctp-port:5000

[0184] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0185] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="http"

[0186] b = CT:128

[0187] The example above shows the addition of a new ADC for transmitting data related to computing power communication, using the HTTP protocol over UDP, DTLS, or SCTP. The new ADC requires 128kbps of bandwidth.

[0188] Step 12: The IMS AS requests instructions from the DCSF on how to handle the ADC resource information and computing power communication resource requirements in SDP offer #2, such as sending SDP offer #2 to the DCSF. Based on the computing power communication resource requirements obtained in Step 10, the DCSF performs an authorization operation on the computing power communication resource requirements sent by the IMS AS (no more than the limit is allowed), and returns the authorized computing power communication resource requirements.

[0189] Optionally, the DCSF can also return CRF info to the IMS AS based on the CRF info obtained in step 10.

[0190] Step 13: The IMS AS indicates to the MF to reserve connection resources, and the MF allocates the newly added connection resources for forwarding information exchanged between the UE and the CRF.

[0191] For example, the IMS AS can send ADC info#3 and CRF info to the MF, and optionally, it can also send computing power communication resource requests.

[0192] Step 14: MF returns ADC info#4 to IMS AS, which may include the received computing power communication resource requirements.

[0193] Step 15: The IMS AS sends a SIP 200 message to the UE via the P-CSCF, carrying SDP answer #2, which includes ADC info #4, to negotiate ADC resource information with the UE.

[0194] Step 16: The P-CSCF sends SDP answer#2 to the Policy Control Function (PCF) to request reserved network bearer resources.

[0195] Step 17: PCF triggers the PDU Session Modification process to reserve the corresponding bearer resources.

[0196] Step 18: The P-CSCF sends a SIP 200 message to the UE, carrying SDP answer #2.

[0197] Step 19: Based on the information in SDP answer#2, the UE transmits computational data through the session. The computational data is transmitted to the MF through the target ADC (the stream channel with stream id 3 in the above ADC or the newly added ADC). The MF forwards the computational data to the CRF based on the connection information of the CRF or the URL of the CRF. The CRF processes the computational data using the allocated computing resources.

[0198] The method provided in this application establishes both a user plane ADC and a control plane ADC. By establishing the ADC first and then requesting computing power allocation, the target ADC is established. Computational data is transmitted based on the target ADC, and computing power services are realized on the terminal.

[0199] Figure 6 illustrates another flowchart of the method for implementing computing power services using an application data channel provided in this application embodiment, which is completed through interaction between multiple devices on the terminal and network side. As shown in Figure 6, the method may include the following steps.

[0200] Step 1: The calling terminal sends a SIP INVITE message to the IMS network, carrying SDP offer#1 and computing resource requirement information. The P-CSCF forwards the SIP INVITE message to the IMS AS.

[0201] The SIP INVITE message may include ADC resource information (ADC info#1), such as SCTP protocol information (including but not limited to local address, port number, etc.), and APP information (such as APP ID, used by the network to know the application using the corresponding ADC).

[0202] In addition, the target in a SIP INVITE message can be related to a service, such as a SIP INVITE message carrying a Public Service Identifier (PSI).

[0203] Optionally, the SIP INVITE message can also carry the type of computing resources (such as vendor information, associated business type, etc.).

[0204] In one implementation, an example of the ADC-related content in SDP offer#1 is as follows:

[0205] m=application 54111UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0206] c = IN IP6 2001:DB8::A8FD

[0207] a = sctp-port:5000

[0208] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0209] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="http"

[0210] a=3gpp-computing-req:4K,vedio,object mark,brief

[0211] The example above indicates that the APP on the UE with APP ID "computing-application" expects to establish an ADC based on UDP, DTLS, or SCTP protocol. The UE's local address is IPv6 2001:DB8::A8FD, the local UDP port is 54111, the local SCTP protocol port is 5000, and the stream channel with stream ID 2 on top of SCTP uses the HTTP protocol to transmit data. This stream channel is used for the transmission of computation data.

[0212] Among these, the aforementioned computing resource requirements could include, for example, object tagging processing for 4K resolution streaming media and searching for and presenting brief descriptions of the tags.

[0213] Step 2: The IMS AS sends ADC info#1 (including computing resource requirement information) to the DCSF, such as sending target information and SDP offer#1 to the DCSF. The DCSF authorizes the user to build the ADC based on user subscription and / or network policy information.

[0214] Optionally, DCSF can determine whether the ADC is related to computing power services based on computing resource demand information, and authorize users to establish the ADC based on user subscription and / or network policy information.

[0215] In one implementation, DCSF can determine whether the ADC is related to computing power services based on at least one of the target information, APP ID, and computing resource requirement information.

[0216] DCSF can also select the Computing AS based on the APP ID and return the connection information between the Computing AS and the MF or the URL of the Computing AS to DCSF.

[0217] Optionally, DCSF can also send computing resource requirement information to Computing AS.

[0218] Step 3: The Computing AS requests the CRF to allocate computing resources based on the computing resource demand information, and calculates the corresponding computing communication resource requirements, such as data transmission bandwidth requirements, latency, jitter, etc.

[0219] Step 4: The Computing AS returns CRF info to the DCSF, including connection information and computing power communication resource requirements. The DCSF then returns CRF info to the IMS AS.

[0220] Optionally, DCSF may determine the relevance of the ADC to computing power services based on computing resource demand information and / or CRF info, and authorize users to establish the ADC based on user subscription and / or network policy information.

[0221] Step 5: The IMS AS instructs the MF to reserve connection resources to assist in establishing the ADC between the UE and the Computing AS. For example, it sends the ADC info#1 and connection information from the CRF info, or the entire CRF info, to the MF. The MF allocates connection resources to forward the interaction information between the UE and the CRF.

[0222] Step 6: The MF returns ADC info#2 to the IMS AS for the UE to establish ADC. The MF will send the information received from the resource identified by ADC info#2 to the CRF through the channel identified by the connection information of the CRF.

[0223] Step 7: The IMS AS sends a SIP 200 message to the UE via the P-CSCF, carrying SDP answer #1, which includes ADC info #2, to negotiate ADC resource information with the UE, thereby enabling the UE to establish an ADC.

[0224] In one implementation, an example of the ADC-related content in SDP answer #1 is as follows:

[0225] m=application 54112UDP / DTLS / SCTP webrtc-datachannel

[0226] c = IN IP6 2222:FC8::C8EF

[0227] a = sctp-port:5000

[0228] a=3gpp-req-app:”computing-application”

[0229] a=dcmap:2subprotocol="http"

[0230] a=3gpp-computing-req:4K,vedio,object mark,brief

[0231] b = CT:128

[0232] In the example above, the address of MF is IPv6 2111:FC8::C8EF. This example indicates that a new stream channel with stream id 2 is added to transmit data related to computing power communication. The HTTP protocol is used for transmission over UDP, DTLS or SCTP. The new stream channel requires 128kbps bandwidth.

[0233] Step 8: The P-CSCF sends SDP answer #1 to the PCF to request reserved network bearer resources.

[0234] Step 9: PCF triggers the PDU Session Modification process to reserve the corresponding bearer resources.

[0235] Step 10: The P-CSCF sends a SIP 200 message to the UE, carrying SDP answer #2.

[0236] Step 11: The UE and MF establish an ADC channel based on SDP offer#1 and SDP answer#1.

[0237] Step 12: Based on the information in SDP answer#2, the UE transmits computation data through the session. The computation data is transmitted to the MF through the target ADC (the stream channel with stream id 3 in the above ADC). The MF forwards the computation data to the CRF based on the connection information of the CRF or the URL of the CRF. The CRF processes the computation data using the allocated computing resources.

[0238] The method provided in this application embodiment is applicable to standardized scenarios. By establishing a user plane ADC during the process of requesting computing resources, the establishment of the target ADC is completed, and computing data is transmitted based on the target ADC, thus realizing computing services on the terminal.
