The at least one processor 201 further performs the method described in the embodiments of the present invention according to the remaining computing power of the server 20, the first target computing power and the remaining computing power of the at least one MEC node, which are stored in the memory 202.

Output devices include, but are not limited to, a display, a printer, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in an MEC node processing service scenario, when a residual computing power of a certain MEC node (e.g., a first MEC node) is insufficient, at least one MEC node needs to be determined to assist the first MEC node in processing a target service.

With reference to the communication system shown in fig. 1, taking the first MEC node as the MEC node 1041 in fig. 1 as an example, the service processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is completely described from the perspective of interaction of each device in the service processing system 104 of the communication system, so as to illustrate a process in which the first MEC node determines at least one MEC node that can assist the first MEC node in processing the target service and performs service processing.

As shown in fig. 3, the service processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include S101-S108.

S101, the first MEC node acquires a service processing request message of a target service.

Wherein, the service processing request message includes the calculation power corresponding to the target service. In the embodiment of the invention, the computing power corresponding to the target service is collectively referred to as the first target computing power.

It should be understood that, when the UE has a target service that needs to request the first MEC node to process, the network device may send a service processing request message of the target service to the bearer network device, and the bearer network device sends the service processing request message to the first MEC node, so that the first MEC node processes the target service.

S102, under the condition that the residual computing power of the first MEC node is smaller than the first target computing power, the first MEC node sends a first computing power sharing request message to the MEC nodes.

Wherein the first allocation request message is used for requesting the plurality of MEC nodes to assist the first MEC node in processing the target service.

It is to be understood that, when the remaining computing power of the first MEC node is less than the first target computing power, it indicates that the first MEC node has insufficient computing power to support its own processing of the target service, and at this time, the first MEC node may send a first computing power sharing request message to the multiple MEC nodes, requesting the multiple MEC nodes to assist the first MEC node in processing the target service, that is, requesting the multiple MEC nodes to assist the first MEC node in sharing the first target computing power.

The plurality of MEC nodes are MEC nodes having a connection relationship with the first MEC node. That is, when the remaining computation power of the first MEC node is less than the first target computation power, the first MEC node sends a first computation power sharing request message to a plurality of MEC nodes having a connection relationship with the first MEC node.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, assuming that the first MEC node is an MEC node 1041, the multiple MEC nodes are an MEC node 1042, an MEC node 1043, an MEC node 1044, and an MEC node 1045, and the MEC node 1041 sends the first computation sharing request message to the MEC node 1042, the MEC node 1043, the MEC node 1044, and the MEC node 1045, respectively.

Table 1 below shows an example of a message format of the first computing power sharing request message, where the first computing power sharing request message includes identification information of a first MEC node, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the first MEC node, used computing power of the first MEC node, remaining computing power of the first MEC node, and a first target computing power, as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1

From table 1, it can be determined that the remaining computation power of the first MEC node is less than the first target computation power, and the first MEC node needs the computation power of 10k (thousand) operations per second (TOPS) shared by the plurality of MEC nodes to complete the processing of the target service.

S103, the MEC nodes receive a first calculation power sharing request message sent by the first MEC node.

And S104, under the condition that the residual computing power of at least one MEC node is greater than 0, at least one MEC node sends a first computing power sharing response message to the first MEC node.

It is to be understood that the at least one MEC node is one or more of the plurality of MEC nodes each having sent a first algorithm sharing response message to the first MEC node, respectively. The first computing power sharing response message includes the remaining computing power of the at least one MEC node, and the first computing power sharing response message is used for notifying the first MEC node, and the at least one MEC node may assist the first MEC node in processing the target service.

It is to be understood that the remaining computing power of at least one MEC node being greater than 0 indicates that the at least one MEC node is capable of processing the traffic, and it is also to be understood that the at least one MEC node is capable of assisting the first MEC node in processing the target traffic, where each MEC node of the at least one MEC node may send the first computing power sharing response message to the first MEC node.

For example, with reference to table 1, assuming that the second MEC node is one of the at least one MEC node, as shown in table 2, the second MEC node is an example of a message format of a first computation power sharing response message sent to the first MEC node by the second MEC node, where the first computation power sharing response message includes, in addition to information included in the first computation power sharing request message, second MEC node identification information, an IP address of the second MEC node, and remaining computation power of the second MEC node. The second MEC node is a response node corresponding to the first MEC node, that is, a node responding to the first force sharing request message.

TABLE 2

From table 2, it can be determined that the remaining computing power of the second MEC node is greater than 0 and that the second MEC node can share the computing power of 5k TOPS for the first MEC node at most.

S105, the first MEC node receives a first computing power sharing response message sent by at least one MEC node.

In conjunction with the description of the above embodiments, it should be understood that the remaining computing power of the at least one MEC node is included in the first computing power sharing response message, and the first computing power sharing response message is used to notify the first MEC node that the at least one MEC node may assist the first MEC node in processing the target service.

It can be understood that, after the plurality of MEC nodes receive the first computation power sharing request message sent by the first MEC node, at least one MEC node with a remaining computation power greater than 0 in the plurality of MEC nodes may send a first computation power sharing response message to the first MEC node, that is, notify the first MEC node that it may assist the first MEC node in processing the target service.

S106, the first MEC node determines the service distribution proportion of the target service according to the first target computing power, the residual computing power of the first MEC node and the residual computing power of at least one MEC node.

The service distribution proportion of the target service comprises a first occupation ratio and occupation ratios of processing the target service by each MEC node in at least one MEC node, wherein the first occupation ratio is the occupation ratio of processing the target service by the first MEC node.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, when the first MEC node needs all of the at least one MEC node to participate in the processing process of the target service (that is, the first MEC node selects all MEC nodes responding to the first computation sharing response message to assist the MEC node in processing the target service), the step S106 may be implemented by the step a to the step C.

And step A, the first MEC node determines the sum of the calculation power to be allocated of the first MEC node and the calculation power to be allocated of at least one MEC node according to the first target calculation power and the residual calculation power of the first MEC node.

The calculation capacity to be shared of the first MEC node is the residual calculation capacity of the first MEC node, and the sum of the calculation capacities to be shared of the at least one MEC node is the difference value between the first target calculation capacity and the residual calculation capacity of the first MEC node.

And step B, the first MEC node determines the contribution computing power of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node according to the sum of the residual computing power of the at least one MEC node and the contribution computing power of the at least one MEC node.

Optionally, the chargeable budget of one MEC node of the at least one MEC node satisfies:

wherein, ω is₁Representing the contribution of an MEC node₀Representing a sum of deserved budget forces, ω'₁Represents the residual computing power, ω'₀Representing the total remaining computation power of the at least one MEC node (i.e., the sum of the remaining computation power of each of the at least one MEC node).

In connection with the above example in fig. 1, it is assumed that the remaining computation power of the plurality of MEC nodes is greater than 0, that is, the at least one MEC node includes MEC node 1042, MEC node 1043, MEC node 1044, and MEC node 1045. Further, assuming that the residual computing powers of the 4 MEC nodes are all 5k TOPS, the first target computing power is 20k TOPS, and the residual computing power of the first MEC node is 10k TOPS, the first MEC node determines that the total computing power to be allocated to the 4 MEC nodes is 10k TOPS, and further determines that the respective computing powers to be allocated to the 4 MEC nodes are all 2.5k TOPS.

And step C, the first MEC node determines the service distribution proportion of the target service according to the contribution calculation force of the first MEC node and the contribution calculation force of each MEC node in at least one MEC node.

The service distribution proportion is a ratio of the calculation power to be distributed of the first MEC node to the calculation power to be distributed of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node.

With reference to the example in step B, the first MEC node determines that the traffic distribution ratio of the target traffic is 4:1:1:1: 1. Specifically, the plurality of ratios included in the traffic distribution ratio are 0.5 (first ratio), 0.125, and 0.125, respectively.

In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the first MEC node may also select a part of MEC nodes (i.e., one or more MEC nodes) from the at least one MEC node to assist the at least one MEC node in processing the target service, and specifically, the step S106 may also be implemented by steps D to G.

And D, the first MEC node determines the sum of the calculation power to be allocated of the first MEC node and the calculation power to be allocated of at least one MEC node according to the first target calculation power and the residual calculation power of the first MEC node.

And E, the first MEC node determines whether the residual computing power of the second MEC node is larger than or equal to the sum of the computing powers to be allocated of at least one MEC node.

Wherein the second MEC node is an MEC node with the largest residual computational power in the at least one MEC node.

And F, under the condition that the residual computing power of the second MEC node is larger than or equal to the sum of the distributable computing powers of the at least one MEC node, the first MEC node determines the sum of the distributable computing powers of the at least one MEC node as the distributable computing power of the second MEC node.

And G, the first MEC node determines the ratio of the calculation power to be shared of the first MEC node to the calculation power to be shared of the second MEC node as the service distribution proportion of the target service.

It should be understood that, at this time, the first MEC node and the second MEC node can share the first target power, that is, the first MEC node can complete the processing of the target service with the assistance of the second MEC node.

Optionally, in case the first MEC node determines that the remaining computing power of the second MEC node is less than the sum of the accrued computing powers of at least one MEC node, the first MEC node determines the remaining computing power of the second MEC node as the accrued computing power of the second MEC node, and the first MEC node determines whether the remaining computing power of the third MEC node is greater than or equal to the accrued computing power difference.

The third MEC node is an MEC node with the largest residual calculation force except the second MEC node in the at least one MEC node, and the difference value of the calculation forces to be allocated is the difference value between the sum of the calculation forces to be allocated of the at least one MEC node and the calculation force to be allocated of the second MEC node.

Similarly, if the remaining computing power of the third MEC node is greater than or equal to the difference between the calculation forces to be shared, the first MEC node determines the difference between the calculation forces to be distributed as the calculation force to be distributed of the third MEC node, and at this time, the service distribution proportion of the target service is the ratio of the calculation force to be distributed of the first MEC node to the calculation force to be distributed of the second MEC node and the calculation force to be distributed of the third MEC node; otherwise, the first MEC node continues to determine the assignable computing power of the fourth MEC node based on the remaining computing power of the MEC node with smaller remaining computing power (e.g., the fourth MEC node) until the sum of the assignable computing powers of the at least one MEC node is distributed.

In connection with the example in S102 described above, it is assumed that the remaining computation forces of the MEC node 1041, the MEC node 1042, the MEC node 1043, the MEC node 1044, and the MEC node 1045 in fig. 1 are 10k TOPS, 5k TOPS, 4k TOPS, 3k TOPS, and 2k TOPS, respectively, and the first target computation force is 20k TOPS.

Wherein the first occupation ratio is 0.5, the second occupation ratio (i.e., occupation ratio of the second MEC node to process the target service) is 0.25, the third occupation ratio (i.e., occupation ratio of the third MEC node to process the target service) is 0.2, and the fourth occupation ratio (i.e., occupation ratio of the fourth MEC node to process the target service) is 0.05.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the first computing power sharing response message sent by at least one MEC node and received by the first MEC node may further include a timestamp corresponding to the first computing power sharing response message, and the first MEC node may determine the service allocation proportion of the target service according to the timestamp corresponding to the first computing power sharing response message. Specifically, under the condition that the residual computing power of each MEC node in at least one MEC node is the same, the first MEC node selects n MEC nodes with the earliest time stamp from the at least one MEC node, and determines the respective assigned computing power of the n MEC nodes according to the residual computing power of the n MEC nodes until the sum of the assigned computing powers of the at least one MEC node is completely shared.

Exemplarily, in connection with the example in S102 described above, it is assumed that the remaining computing power of the MEC node 1041 in fig. 1 is 10k TOPS, the first target computing power is 20k TOPS, and the remaining computing powers of the MEC node 1042, the MEC node 1043, the MEC node 1044, and the MEC node 1045 are all 5k TOPS. It is further assumed that the time stamps corresponding to the first computation power sharing response message sent by the MEC node 1042, the MEC node 1043, the MEC node 1044, and the MEC node 1045 to the MEC node 1041 respectively are sequentially arranged as the MEC node 1042, the MEC node 1043, the MEC node 1044, and the MEC node 1045. The first MEC node (i.e., MEC node 1041) determines that the 2 MEC nodes with earliest timestamp, i.e., MEC node 1042 and MEC node 1043 assist them in processing the target traffic, and the respective accounts receivable power of MEC node 1042 and MEC node 1043 are both 5k TOPS, at this time, the first MEC node determines that the traffic distribution ratio of the target traffic is 2:1:1, wherein the first occupancy is 0.5, the occupancy of MEC node 1042 for processing the target traffic is 0.25, and the occupancy of MEC node 1043 for processing the target traffic is 0.25.

And S107, the first MEC node processes the data message corresponding to the target service according to the first proportion.

It should be understood that the first percentage is a percentage of the first MEC node to process the target service, and specifically, the first percentage is a percentage of the first MEC node in the service allocation proportion.

S108, the first MEC node sends data messages corresponding to the target services to the at least one MEC node according to the proportion of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node for processing the target services, so that the at least one MEC node processes the data messages corresponding to the target services.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, after the step S106, the method further includes:

the first MEC node generates at least one routing information. Specifically, one piece of routing information is used to instruct the first MEC node to send the data packet of the target service to the corresponding MEC node.

It should be understood that, after the first MEC node determines the traffic distribution ratio of the target traffic, the first MEC node may generate at least one routing information according to the proportion of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node included in the traffic distribution ratio to process the target traffic, where the at least one routing information is used for routing the data packet of the target traffic to the at least one MEC node.

Taking the second MEC node as one of the at least one MEC node as an example, the first MEC node may generate first routing information, where the first routing information is used to instruct the first MEC node to send a data packet of a target service corresponding to the second duty ratio to the second MEC node, and the second duty ratio is a duty ratio of processing the target service by the second MEC node.

In one implementation, the first MEC node may further determine an MEC node (e.g., a second MEC node) from the at least one MEC node, and assist the first MEC node in processing the target traffic by the second MEC node. As shown in fig. 4, the service processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include S201 to S212:

s201, the first MEC node acquires a service processing request message of the target service.

The service processing request message includes a first computing power corresponding to the target service.

S202, when the remaining computing power of the first MEC node is less than the first target computing power, the first MEC node sends a first computing power sharing request message to the multiple MEC nodes.

S203, the multiple MEC nodes receive the first calculation sharing request message sent by the first MEC node.

S204, under the condition that the residual computing power of at least one MEC node is greater than 0, at least one MEC node sends a first computing power sharing response message to the first MEC node.

It should be understood that the first computation force sharing response message sent by each MEC node in the at least one MEC node to the first MEC node includes a timestamp corresponding to each of the at least one computation force sharing response message, that is, one computation force sharing response message includes a timestamp corresponding to the computation force sharing response message.

S205, the first MEC node receives a first computation sharing response message sent by at least one MEC node.

S206, the first MEC node determines a second MEC node from the at least one MEC node.

It should be understood that the second MEC node is an MEC node corresponding to the power sharing response message with the earliest timestamp among the plurality of MEC nodes. In this embodiment of the present invention, the first MEC node may receive the first accounting allocation response message of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node, but only select one second MEC node from the at least one MEC node that sends the first accounting allocation response message earliest, and instruct the second MEC node to assist the second MEC node in processing the target service.

S207, the first MEC node determines the service distribution proportion of the target service according to the first target calculation power and the residual calculation power of the first MEC node.

The service distribution proportion of the target service comprises a first proportion and a second proportion, wherein the first proportion is the proportion of the first MEC node for processing the target service, and the second proportion is the proportion of the second MEC node for processing the target service.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, a first MEC node determines a remaining computing power of the first MEC node as an accrual computing power of the first MEC node, determines a difference between a first target computing power and the remaining computing power of the first MEC node as an accrual computing power of a second MEC node, and allocates a proportion of a target service to a ratio between the accrual computing power of the first MEC node and the accrual computing power of the second MEC node.

It is to be understood that when the at least one MEC node is one (i.e. the second MEC node), the first MEC node may determine that the number of MEC nodes to process the target traffic is 2, i.e. the first MEC node and the second MEC node. The first MEC node can determine the calculation power which should be allocated to the second MEC node under the condition of determining the calculation power which should be allocated to the first MEC node and the first calculation power, so that the processing of the target service can be directly completed when the residual calculation power of the second MEC node is sufficient without being based on the residual calculation power of the second MEC node, and the second MEC node can also determine other MEC nodes which can assist the second MEC node in processing the target service when the residual calculation power of the second MEC node is insufficient.

And S208, the first MEC node processes the data message corresponding to the target service according to the first proportion.

S209, the first MEC node sends the data packet corresponding to the target service to the second MEC node according to the second percentage, so that the second MEC node processes the data packet corresponding to the target service.

With reference to the description of the foregoing embodiment, it should be understood that, after S207, the first MEC node may generate first routing information, where the first routing information is used to instruct the first MEC node to send the data packet of the target service corresponding to the second percentage to the second MEC node.

Optionally, after S209, the service processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: and when the residual computing power of the first MEC node is greater than or equal to the first target computing power, deleting the first routing information by the first MEC node.

It should be understood that after S209, when the remaining computing power of the first MEC node is greater than or equal to the first target computing power, it indicates that the computing power of the first MEC node may have been restored, the first MEC node has sufficient computing power to meet the computing power requirement of the target service, and the first MEC node does not need to send the data packet to the second MEC node any more, that is, the first MEC node does not need the second MEC node to assist in processing the target service.

S210, the second MEC node receives a data message corresponding to the target service.

The data packet corresponding to the target service is a data packet corresponding to a second percentage, where the second percentage is a percentage of the target service processed by the second MEC node in a service distribution proportion of the target service, the service distribution proportion is determined by the first MEC node according to a first target computing power, a remaining computing power of the first MEC node, and a remaining computing power of at least one MEC node that can assist the first MEC node in processing the target service, the first target computing power is a computing power corresponding to the target service, and the second MEC node is one of the at least one MEC node.

And S211, the second MEC node receives computing force indication information.

The computing power indication information indicates a second target computing power required for processing a data packet corresponding to a second accounting ratio, that is, indicates how much computing power is required by the second MEC node to process the target service, where the second accounting ratio is an accounting ratio of the second MEC node to process the target service.

S212, the second MEC node processes the data message corresponding to the target service.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the remaining computation power of the second MEC node may be smaller than the second target computation power, that is, with the assistance of the second MEC node, the first MEC node may still not complete the processing of the target service, so that the second MEC node needs to determine that another MEC node assists the second MEC node in processing the target service, that is, indirectly assist the first MEC node in processing the target service, which may specifically be implemented by the following steps H to L.

And step H, under the condition that the residual computing power of the second MEC node is smaller than the second target computing power, the second MEC node sends a second computing power sharing request message to the plurality of MEC nodes.

In conjunction with the description of the above embodiments, it should be understood that the plurality of MEC nodes are MEC nodes having a connection relationship with the second MEC node. The second computation power sharing request message is used for requesting the plurality of MEC nodes to assist the second MEC node in processing the data message.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, assuming that the second MEC node is MEC node 1042, the MEC nodes are MEC node 1041, MEC node 1046, and MEC node 1047. It should be understood that when MEC node 1041 is the first MEC node described above, MEC node 1041 may also serve as one of the plurality of MEC nodes, i.e. MEC node 1042 may send a second accounting off request message to MEC node 1041, but MEC node 1041 does not respond.

And step I, the first MEC node receives a second calculation power sharing response message sent by at least one MEC node in the plurality of MEC nodes.

The second computing power response message includes the remaining computing power of at least one MEC node, the second computing power sharing response message is used to notify the second MEC node, the at least one MEC node may assist the second MEC node in processing the data packet, and the remaining computing power of the at least one MEC node is greater than 0.

And step J, the second MEC node determines the message distribution proportion of the data message according to the second target computing power, the residual computing power of the second MEC node and the residual computing power of at least one MEC node.

The message distribution proportion comprises a first distribution proportion and a proportion of each MEC node in at least one MEC node processing the data message, wherein the first distribution proportion is the proportion of the second MEC node processing the data message.

And step K, the second MEC node processes the data message according to the first allocation ratio.

And step L, the second MEC node respectively sends the data message to at least one MEC node according to the proportion of processing the data message by each MEC node in the at least one MEC node, so that the at least one MEC node processes the data message.

It should be understood that the explanation of steps I-L is similar to the above description of S105-S108, and is not repeated here.

The embodiment of the invention provides a service processing method, wherein when the residual computing power of a first MEC node is less than a first target computing power (namely, the computing power corresponding to a target service), the first MEC node sends a first computing power sharing request message to a plurality of MEC nodes, and the computing power sharing request message is used for requesting the plurality of MEC nodes to assist the first MEC node in assisting in processing the target service; and then, when determining that the residual computing power of at least one MEC node (for example, a second MEC node) in the plurality of MEC nodes is greater than 0, sending a first computing power sharing response message to the first MEC node, that is, notifying the first MEC node that the second MEC node can assist the first MEC node in processing the target service, so that the first MEC node can acquire the residual computing power of the at least one MEC node. Then, the first MEC node determines a service distribution proportion of the target service according to the first target computing power, the remaining computing power of the first MEC node and the remaining computing power of at least one MEC node, wherein the service distribution proportion comprises a first occupation ratio (namely the occupation ratio of the first MEC node to process the target service) and occupation ratios of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node to process the target service; further, the first MEC node processes the data message corresponding to the target service according to the first proportion, and the first MEC node sends the data message corresponding to the target service to at least one MEC node according to the proportion of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node for processing the target service; and then at least one MEC node assists the first MEC node in processing the data message corresponding to the target service. In the embodiment of the invention, the first MEC node requests the plurality of MEC nodes to assist the processing target service under the condition that the first MEC node does not have enough computing power to support the processing target service, so that the first MEC node does not need to wait for the processing target service after the first MEC node completes the processing of other services (namely, does not need to wait for the computing power of the first MEC node to be recovered), and the processing efficiency of the service can be improved.
