Dynamic Routing Rule Generation for MEC Data Bus Controllers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) systems, the dynamic nature of virtual applications and services leads to challenges in determining data transmission paths, resulting in data routing errors when forwarding is performed according to preconfigured paths.
Innovation Solution
A routing rule obtaining method and system that involves a data bus controller obtaining service information, generating routing rules based on this information, and sending these rules to a data bus, which includes a classifier and a service forwarder to ensure data packets are forwarded to the correct service, dynamically updating paths as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If preconfigured forwarding paths are used for data routing in MEC system, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but data routing errors occur when virtual applications or services change continually
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic routing rules that automatically adapt to service changes in the MEC system. The data bus controller continuously monitors service information and updates routing rules in real-time, transforming the static preconfigured path approach into a dynamic system that responds to service changes, thereby maintaining both ease of operation and routing accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the data bus controller receives service information from the MEC system, processes routing decisions based on current service states, and updates routing rules accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures routing accuracy is maintained while keeping the system easy to operate through automated adjustments
2Reliability
If dynamic routing rules are implemented to adapt to service changes, then routing accuracy is improved, but device complexity and system overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a data bus controller as an intermediary component that centralizes routing rule management. This mediator handles the complexity of dynamic routing rule generation and updates, isolating the complexity from the rest of the system while maintaining routing accuracy. The controller acts as a single point of control that simplifies the overall system architecture despite implementing dynamic routing
Solution Approach 2:
The data bus controller performs multiple functions including receiving service information, generating routing rules, updating the data bus, and monitoring service changes. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional component, the patent reduces overall system complexity while achieving accurate dynamic routing

AI summary
The present invention provides a routing rule obtaining method, device, and system. The method is applied to an MEC system and specifically includes: obtaining, by a data bus controller, service information of at least one service in the MEC system, where service information of each service includes a service type and a service identity; generating a routing rule according to the service information of the at least one service, where the routing rule is used to indicate at least one path through which a data packet can pass, and each path includes a service identity of at least one service; and sending the routing rule to a data bus, so that the data bus forwards, according to the routing rule, a received data packet to a service corresponding to the data packet. The service information of each service is dynamically obtained, so as to update a path indicated in a routing rule, that is, add a path for all services. This ensures that received data can be forwarded according to the new routing rule and the data is correctly routed to the corresponding application or service.
