Description

Method for discovering edge service and edge service network
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention belongs to the technical field of edge services, and particularly relates to a method for discovering edge services and an edge service network.
Background
With the development of technology (such as the development of 5G business), edge services (edge computing) are gaining more and more acceptance and attention.
The edge service is realized based on an edge node, the edge node is a service platform (such as a server and a base station) constructed at the edge of a network side close to a User side, and can provide resources such as storage, calculation, a network and the like, and partial application (edge application) of a terminal (User Equipment, UE) is executed at the edge node, which is equivalent to sinking partial service to the edge of an access network, so that bandwidth occupation, delay loss and the like caused by multi-layer network transmission can be reduced.
In order to ensure the continuity of the edge application service, when a user causes cell switching of a terminal in the moving process, an edge node for providing service needs to be reselected.
For example, when the terminal moves out of the cell of the current edge node, a new edge node (an edge node with a desired edge application deployed) with an optimal route needs to be found according to the new location of the terminal and the belonging network, and then the edge application of the terminal is switched to the newly selected edge node, so as to ensure the continuity of the edge application service. In addition, for the consideration of load balancing, or when the performance of the current edge node is not satisfactory due to some circumstances (for example, a failure occurs), the edge node also needs to be reselected to perform migration of the edge application. And the above process of reselecting an edge node for a terminal is referred to as "edge service discovery".
Referring to fig. 1, different telecom operators usually deploy different edge computing systems (e.g., MEC systems), each edge computing System belongs to multiple edge nodes (e.g., MEC platforms), and even the same operator may deploy multiple different edge computing systems due to historical reasons such as service development.
In many cases, the terminal may need to migrate between edge nodes of different edge computing systems. For example, in a scenario where a terminal moves at a high speed, such as a high-speed rail or a highway, in order to implement seamless migration of edge applications, the terminal may need to migrate between edge nodes of different edge computing systems arranged along a high-speed rail or a highway.
The existing edge service discovery technology only selects edge nodes on a terminal side or a network side. However, the network side cannot consider the specific requirements of each terminal; however, how the computing power of the terminal side cannot be developed, obviously, the information of all possible edge nodes in the candidate edge computing system cannot be gathered.
Therefore, the existing edge service discovery technology cannot effectively realize the selection of the edge node under various conditions; for example, the selected edge node may not be optimal, or edge node switching across edge computing systems may not be possible, or in some extreme cases, misselection may occur, etc.

As a case (case one) of the embodiments of the present invention, when the edge service discovery request indicates that the terminal should still remain in the current edge computing system (that is, the target edge node is an edge node in the current edge computing system), the current edge computing system directly selects, according to the received edge node selection tendency information and information of each edge node under its own control, a most suitable edge node from each edge node under its control as the target edge node, and sends the information of the target edge node to the terminal, so that the terminal is switched to the target edge node (that is, edge node switching in the edge computing system).

As another case (case two) of the embodiment of the present invention, when the edge service discovery request indicates that the terminal should not remain in the current edge computing system but needs to switch to another edge computing system (referred to as a target edge computing system) (that is, the target edge node is an edge node in a target edge computing system different from the current edge computing system), the current edge computing system should send the edge node selection tendency information and the edge service discovery request to the control system.
Furthermore, the control system can determine which edge node in the target edge computing system should be the target edge node according to the received edge node selection tendency information and the edge service discovery request, and send the information of the target edge node to the terminal.

After receiving the edge node information request, the target edge computing system determines whether to allow the request and provides the edge node information to the control system, that is, determines whether to allow the terminal to use the edge node to which the terminal belongs.
For example, the target edge computing system may determine whether to allow the terminal to use the edge node to which the terminal belongs according to a cooperation agreement between the target edge computing system and the current edge computing system, whether a network roaming agreement is signed between the two edge computing systems, and the like.
When the target edge computing system determines that the edge node information is allowed to be provided, the target edge computing system sends information (edge node information) of each edge node to which the target edge computing system belongs to the control system.
Of course, if the target edge computing system determines that it is not allowed to provide edge node information, it may directly send a reject response to the control system.
After receiving edge node information provided by a target edge computing system, a control system selects an optimal edge node from all edge nodes of the target edge computing system as a target edge node according to the edge node information and edge node selection tendency information received from the current edge computing system before, and sends the information of the target edge node to a terminal for the terminal to switch to the target edge node (namely, edge node switching of a cross-edge computing system).
