The mobile edge computing server can be deployed with a plurality of mobile edge computing applications according to needs, and each mobile edge computing application is utilized to complete a specific function and provide corresponding services. For example, a "video caching application" may be deployed in the mobile edge computing server, and by using the mobile edge computing application, the content of some videos may be cached on the storage device to which the application belongs, and when the video content requested to be downloaded by the user belongs to the video content cached by the application, the network may directly deliver the video content stored by the application to the user.

when the number of users of a certain mobile edge computing application is large, the mobile edge computing server may not allocate resources to the mobile edge computing application in advance to provide services for the users, thereby causing problems such as interruption of user connection or response timeout.

[ detailed description ] embodiments
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without inventive effort based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
Example 1
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a method for load sharing of a mobile edge computing application according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a controller and the mobile edge computing application are not shown in the drawing, and the mobile edge computing application is deployed in a mobile edge computing server.
As shown in fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for load sharing of a mobile edge computing application according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, where the controller may be disposed on the mobile edge computing application or the mobile edge computing server, or may be a separate device existing in the above system.
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 201, when a controller detects that the operation load of a mobile edge computing application deployed on a mobile edge computing server reaches a preset load threshold corresponding to the mobile edge computing, the controller increases available resources of the mobile edge computing application, so that the mobile edge computing application processes services of the mobile edge computing application by using the increased available resources; and/or the controller establishes a parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type as the mobile edge computing application, and the controller processes the service of the mobile edge computing application by using the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type.
The operation load of the mobile edge computing application refers to a memory that the mobile edge computing server should provide for the mobile edge computing in order to meet the current traffic provision service of the mobile edge computing application.
Each mobile edge computing application has its own preset load threshold, and the preset load threshold is set by the controller according to the memory allocated to the mobile edge computing application by the mobile edge computing server.
It should be noted that, in order to prevent the user connection interruption or the response timeout, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset load threshold may be set to be smaller than the memory allocated by the mobile edge computing server for the mobile edge computing application.
In a specific embodiment, the controller detects that the running load of the mobile edge computing application reaches the preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application, including the following two ways:
in the first mode, the controller monitors the actual operation load of the mobile edge computing application and judges whether the actual operation load of the mobile edge computing application reaches a preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application.
And secondly, the controller sends the preset load threshold to the mobile edge computing application, and judges whether the actual operation load of the mobile edge computing application reaches the preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application or not according to whether a message which is sent by the mobile edge computing application and reaches the preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application is received or not.
The parallel mobile edge computing applications of the same type refer to applications in which the service provided by the mobile edge computing server or the hardware resources allocated to the mobile edge computing server for processing the mobile edge applications are the same as the mobile edge computing applications exceeding the preset load threshold.
The establishing process of the controller for establishing the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type as the edge computing application follows the method for establishing the mobile edge computing application by the controller in the prior art, and firstly, the type of the mobile edge application needing to be established is judged; then, distributing hardware resources for the mobile edge according to the judged type of the mobile edge; and configuring the allocated hardware resources to software bearing the application function to complete the establishment of the mobile edge computing application.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a mobile edge computing application of the same type as the mobile edge computing application exists in a mobile edge computing server to which the mobile edge computing application belongs, or a mobile edge computing application of the same type as the mobile edge computing application exists in a mobile edge computing server to which load sharing is to be implemented, and the mobile edge computing application of the same type does not reach its own preset load threshold, the controller may directly send a message to the mobile edge computing application, so that the mobile edge computing application directly transfers its own traffic to the mobile edge computing application of the same type.
Or, the load sharing operation is executed on the mobile edge computing application in the following two ways:
in a first mode, the controller increases available resources of the mobile edge computing application, so that the mobile edge computing application processes its own service by using the increased available resources.
Specifically, when there is a vacant available resource in the mobile edge computing server, the mobile edge computing server allocates the vacant available resource to the mobile edge computing application, and updates the preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application according to the increased available resource.
As shown in fig. 3A, for the structure diagram of the mobile edge computing application and the mobile edge computing server provided in the embodiment of the present invention (the controller is not shown in the figure), the mobile edge computing server M1 deploys a plurality of mobile edge computing applications, where the running load of the mobile edge computing application a1 has reached its preset load threshold, when there are spare available resources in the mobile edge computing server M1, the mobile edge computing server M1 allocates the spare available resources to the mobile edge computing application a1, and the controller updates the preset load threshold of the mobile edge computing application a1 according to the spare available resources.
After the controller increases the available resources of the mobile edge computing application, the available resources of the mobile edge computing application are increased, so that the traffic exceeding the original preset load threshold can be processed.
The controller establishes a parallel moving edge computing application of the same type as the moving edge computing application; the controller processes traffic of the mobile edge computing application using the same type of parallel mobile edge computing application.
It should be noted that, since each mobile edge computing application is of a different type and carries different functions, load sharing is only possible between mobile edge computing applications of the same type.
The controller uses the same type of parallel mobile edge computing application to process the traffic of the mobile edge computing application, which may be processing any part of the traffic of the mobile edge computing application.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the controller establishes a parallel moving edge calculation application of the same type as the moving edge calculation application, which is specifically divided into three cases:
1. when the mobile edge computing server has vacant available resources, the mobile edge computing server establishes the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type as the mobile edge computing application according to the vacant available resources.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3B, for the distribution diagram of the mobile edge computing application in the same mobile edge computing server provided in the embodiment of the present invention, when there is a vacant available resource in the mobile edge computing server M1, the mobile edge computing server M1 sets a mobile edge computing application a1 'of the same type as the mobile edge computing application a1 on itself by using the vacant available resource, and the controller processes the service of the mobile edge computing application a1 by using the mobile edge computing application a 1'.
It should be noted that, because the mobile edge computing application and the newly-built mobile edge computing application of the same type belong to the same mobile edge computing server, the controller processes the service of the mobile edge computing application by using the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type, and may be configured to send a message to the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold, so that the mobile edge computing application sends the service of the mobile edge computing application to the newly-built mobile edge computing application of the same type through the mobile edge computing server to which the mobile edge computing application belongs after receiving the message; the controller may send a message to the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold, so that the mobile edge computing application notifies the corresponding terminal to reconnect to the newly-built mobile edge computing application after receiving the message.
2. When the mobile edge computing server is within the preset range, other mobile edge computing servers containing vacant available resources exist, so that the other mobile edge computing servers can establish the parallel mobile edge computing application with the same type as the mobile edge computing application according to the vacant available resources.
For example, referring to the application scenario shown in fig. 1, when the controller determines that the actual running load of the moving edge calculation application a1 has reached its own preset load threshold, the controller detects that there is a moving edge calculation server M2 within a preset range (e.g., 500M) of the moving edge calculation application server M1 and there is a vacant available resource in the moving edge calculation server M2, the moving edge calculation server M2 sets a moving edge calculation application a2 of the same type as the moving edge calculation application a1 on the moving edge calculation server M1 on its own using the vacant available resource, and the controller processes the traffic of the moving edge calculation application a1 using the moving edge calculation application a 2.
For the above situation, the controller processes the traffic of the mobile edge computing application by using the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type, including the following two ways:
A. when a private interface (private interface) exists between the mobile edge computing server and the other mobile edge computing servers, or when an interface exists between base stations respectively corresponding to the mobile edge computing server and the other mobile edge computing servers, the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application, so that the mobile edge computing application transfers the service of the mobile edge computing application to the parallel mobile edge computing application contained in the other mobile edge computing servers for processing through the interface after receiving the message.
For example, referring to fig. 4A (the controller is not shown in the figure), the mobile edge computing server M2 is within a preset range (e.g. 500M) of the mobile edge computing application server M1, and the mobile edge computing server M1 is deployed with the mobile edge computing application a1, where the controller determines that a private interface exists between the mobile edge computing application a1 and the mobile edge computing application a2, or an interface (X2 interface) exists between a base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing application a1 and a base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing application a2, and then the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application a1, and after receiving the message, the mobile edge computing application a1 transfers the traffic of the mobile edge computing application to the mobile edge computing application a2 through the private interface or the X2 interface according to the indication of the message.
B. The controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application, so that the mobile edge computing application notifies a terminal corresponding to the service of the mobile edge computing application to be connected to a corresponding base station in the other mobile edge computing servers after receiving the message, and transfers the service of the mobile edge computing application to the parallel mobile edge computing application processing contained in the other mobile edge computing servers.
It should be noted that, after the terminal is connected to the base station, the base station allocates a corresponding mobile edge computing application to the terminal according to the request of the terminal, and when the controller determines that the actual operating load of the mobile edge computing application reaches its own preset load threshold, the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application, so that the terminal, which is connected to the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold and needs to be allocated to the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold, is connected to the newly-built base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing application of the same type.
For example, referring to fig. 4B (the controller is not shown in the figure), wherein the mobile edge computing server M2 is within a preset range (e.g. 500M) of the mobile edge computing application server M1, and the mobile edge computing server M1 is deployed with the mobile edge computing application a1, wherein the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application a1, and after receiving the message, the mobile edge computing application a1 connects the terminal corresponding to the traffic of the mobile edge computing application to the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server M2, so that the traffic of the mobile edge computing application is transferred to the mobile edge computing application a2 included in the mobile edge computing server M2 for processing.
3. When the controller deploys the mobile device including the mobile edge computing server within the preset range of the mobile edge computing server, a message is sent to the mobile edge computing server of the mobile device, so that the mobile edge computing server establishes the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type as the mobile edge computing application after receiving the message.
It should be noted that, in order to implement load sharing, the controller may further set a mobile edge computing server, where the mobile edge computing server includes a mobile device with vacant available resources, and deploy the mobile device in a preset range of the mobile edge computing server corresponding to the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold, so as to implement load sharing of the service of the mobile edge computing application that reaches the preset load threshold.
Wherein, the mobile device includes but is not limited to a drone or the like.
For example, referring to the application scenario shown in fig. 1, when the controller determines that the actual running load of the mobile edge computing application a1 has reached its preset load threshold, the controller deploys a mobile device drone within a preset range (e.g., 500M) of the mobile edge computing server M1, wherein the drone is provided with a mobile edge computing server Mf. The controller sends a message to a mobile edge computing server Mf of the unmanned aerial vehicle, after receiving the message, the mobile edge computing server Mf establishes a mobile edge computing application Af of the same type as the mobile edge computing application A1, and the controller processes the service of the mobile edge computing application A1 by using the mobile edge computing application Af.
For the above situation, the controller processes the traffic of the mobile edge computing application by using the parallel mobile edge computing application of the same type, including the following three ways:
A. the controller establishes a private interface between the mobile edge computing server and the mobile edge computing server of the mobile device, so that after receiving the message sent by the controller, the mobile edge computing application transfers the service of the mobile edge computing application to the parallel mobile edge computing application for processing through the private interface.
For example, see fig. 5A (controller not shown in the figure), where the drones are deployed within a preset range (e.g., 500M) of the mobile edge computing application server M1, and the drones are provided with a mobile edge computing server Mf. The controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application a1, before the traffic of the mobile edge computing application a1 is transferred, the controller establishes a proprietary interface (private interface) between the mobile edge computing server 1 and the mobile edge computing server Mf by sending messages to the mobile edge computing server M1 and the mobile edge computing server Mf in the drone. Subsequently, when the mobile edge computing application a1 receives the message sent by the controller, the service of the mobile edge computing application is transferred to the mobile edge computing application Af through the private interface.
B. When the controller judges that the mobile equipment is provided with a base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server of the mobile equipment, the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application so that the mobile edge computing application transfers the service of the mobile edge computing application to the parallel mobile edge computing application for processing through an interface between the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server and the base station arranged on the mobile equipment.
For example, see fig. 5B (controller not shown in the figure), where the drones are deployed within a preset range (e.g., 500M) of the mobile edge computing application server M1, and the drones are provided with a mobile edge computing server Mf. The controller determines whether a base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server Mf is installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle, and if the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server Mf is installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle, the interface (X2 interface) between the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server M1 and the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server Mf may be used for service transfer, that is, a message is sent to the mobile edge computing application a1, so that after the mobile edge computing application a1 receives the message sent by the controller, the service of the mobile edge computing application is transferred to the mobile edge computing application Af through a private interface or an X2 interface.
C. When the controller judges that the mobile equipment is provided with the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server of the mobile edge computing application, the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application so that the mobile edge computing application receives the message and then informs a terminal corresponding to the service of the mobile edge computing application to be connected to the base station arranged in the mobile equipment, and transfers the service of the mobile edge computing application to the parallel mobile edge computing application contained in other mobile edge computing servers for processing.
For example, see fig. 5C (controller not shown in the figure), where the drones are deployed within a preset range (e.g., 500M) of the mobile edge computing application server M1, and the drones are provided with a mobile edge computing server Mf. The controller judges whether a base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server Mf is arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle, if so, the controller sends a message to the mobile edge computing application A1, and after receiving the message, the mobile edge computing application A1 connects a terminal corresponding to the service of the mobile edge computing application to the base station corresponding to the mobile edge computing server Mf, so that the service of the mobile edge computing application is transferred to the mobile edge computing application Af contained in the mobile edge computing server Mf for processing.
