The computing power sharing request message is used to request the MEC management device to allocate at least one MEC node to assist the first MEC node in processing the target service, and the computing power sharing request message includes the target computing power corresponding to the target service.

It can be understood that when the remaining computing power of the first MEC node is less than the target computing power, it means that the first MEC node does not have sufficient computing power to support it to complete the processing of the target service by itself. The MEC management device sends a computing power sharing request message, requesting the MEC management device to allocate at least one MEC node to assist the first MEC node to process the target service, that is, to request the MEC management device to determine at least one MEC node to assist the first MEC node in sharing the target computing force.

S103: The MEC management device receives the computing power sharing request message sent by the first MEC node.

It should be understood that the MEC management device is a management device of multiple MEC nodes, and is responsible for managing the multiple MEC nodes. When one MEC node (for example, the first MEC node) among the multiple MEC nodes has a computing power sharing requirement, the MEC management device may select the MEC from at least two MEC nodes (ie, the MEC nodes other than the first MEC node among the multiple MEC nodes) node) to determine at least one MEC node to assist the first MEC node to process the target service.

S104. The MEC management device determines the service distribution ratio of the target service according to the target computing power, the remaining computing power of the first MEC node, and the remaining computing power of at least one MEC node.

The service allocation ratio includes a first ratio and a ratio of each MEC node in the at least one MEC node processing the target service, and the first ratio is the ratio of the first MEC node processing the target service.

Optionally, before S104, the service processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

The MEC management device receives computing power status information of multiple MEC nodes.

The computing power status information of an MEC node includes the remaining computing power of the MEC node.

It should be understood that multiple MEC nodes (including the first MEC node) can periodically report their computing power status information to the MEC management device, that is, report their respective remaining computing power to the MEC management device. In this way, the MEC management device can obtain The remaining computing power of each MEC node among multiple MEC nodes.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, when the MEC management device determines that all of the at least one MEC node needs to participate in the processing of the target service, the above S104 may be implemented through steps a to c.

Step a: The MEC management device determines the sum of the computing power that should be shared by the first MEC node and the computing power that should be shared by at least one MEC node according to the target computing power and the remaining computing power of the first MEC node.

Among them, the computing power to be shared by the first MEC node is the remaining computing power of the first MEC node, and the sum of the computing power to be shared by the at least one MEC node is the target computing power and the remaining computing power of the first MEC node. difference.

Step b: The MEC management device determines the computing power to be shared by each MEC node in the at least one MEC node according to the sum of the remaining computing power of the at least one MEC node and the computing power to be shared by the at least one MEC node.

Optionally, one MEC node in the above at least one MEC node should share the computing power to satisfy:

Among them, ω ₁ represents the computing power that should be shared by one MEC node, ω ₀ represents the sum of the computing power that should be shared by the at least one MEC node, ω' ₁ represents the remaining computing power of the MEC node, and ω' ₀ represents the at least one MEC node. The total remaining computing power of the node (that is, the sum of the remaining computing power of each node in the at least one MEC node).

Step c: The MEC management device determines the service distribution ratio of the target service according to the computing power to be shared by the first MEC node and the computing power to be shared by each MEC node in the at least one MEC node.

Exemplarily, with reference to FIG. 1 , it is assumed that the first MEC node is the MEC node 1034 , and at least one MEC node is the MEC node 1035 , the MEC node 1036 , and the MEC node 1037 .

TOPS, 6k TOPS, 3k TOPS, 2k TOPS. Assuming that the target computing power is 20k TOPS, the MEC management device 1033 determines the first MEC node, the second MEC node (ie the MEC node 1034 ), the third MEC node (ie the MEC node 1035 ) and the fourth MEC node (ie the MEC node 1035 ) 1036) should be shared computing power of 10k TOPS, 6k TOPS, 3k TOPS and 1k TOPS respectively, and the business allocation ratio of the target business is 10:6:3:1. Among them, the first proportion is 0.5, the second proportion (that is, the proportion that the second MEC node processes the target service) is 0.3, the third proportion (that is, the proportion that the third MEC node processes the target service) is 0.15, and the third proportion is 0.15.
