The existing block chain is usually constructed by users of the block chain, and the users of the block chain need to deploy an independent hardware system for the block chain when the block chain is constructed, and the hardware system supports the operation of the block chain, thereby causing a great deal of hardware resource waste.
The embodiment of the invention provides a block as a service (BaaS) server based on a multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture, which is used for rapidly deploying a block chain, realizing the sharing of computing, storage and network resources among a plurality of block chains and avoiding the waste of hardware resources caused by the deployment of an independent hardware system for each block chain.

Of course, the present invention may also be established by a combination of a telecommunications carrier and a service provider, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The core network can establish a data transmission channel between the BaaS server and other network equipment, and provide network support for the BaaS server.
It should be noted that the application architecture shown in fig. 1 may also include a cloud data center and other networks, such as an enterprise intranet. The cloud data center can provide data query and service calculation functions for the BaaS server, and the other networks can be a local area network or other networks and are combined with the BaaS server to realize service management in the network. Of course, the application architecture shown in fig. 1 may also include other structures, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connection relationship between a BaaS server and a core network, where a UPF network element is connected to an edge cloud host of the BaaS server, and a NEF network element is connected to an edge cloud block chain organizer.
The core network includes a Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) network element, a Network Registration Function (NRF) network element, a Unified Data Management (UDM) network element, a Policy Control Function (PCF) network element, a network capability exposure (NEF) network element, an authentication server function (AUSF) network element, an access and mobility management (AMF) network element, a Session Management Function (SMF) network element, a Policy Control Function (PCF) network element, and a User Plane Function (UPF) network element.
In the embodiment of the invention, the NEF network element is used for opening network data to the BaaS server, and the UPF network element is used for connecting the terminal and the block chain service of the BaaS server and providing a communication route between the terminal and the BaaS server.
The BaaS server comprises an edge cloud area block chain organizer and an edge cloud host, wherein the edge cloud host is used for providing business services based on the block chain, and the edge cloud area block chain organizer is used for configuring the BaaS server so as to provide the business services based on the block chain.
It should be noted that the functions of other network elements in the core network are the same as those conventionally used in the art, and are not described in detail here. Fig. 2 shows only a partial structure of the BaaS server, and actually, the BaaS server also includes other structures that are not shown in fig. 2. Moreover, the BaaS server and the UPF network element shown in fig. 2 are separated, and in practice, the UPF network element may also be integrally deployed with the BaaS server, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a block chain as a service server, including: the system comprises an operating system, an edge cloud block chain organizer, at least one edge cloud host and a service registration manager.
The operating system is used for managing hardware resources and software resources of the BaaS server and supporting the running of the block chain application.
The edge cloud block chain organizer is used for managing virtual resources or physical resources related to block chain application; the edge cloud block chain orchestrator is also used for managing an edge cloud host and deploying at least one block chain to the edge cloud host; the edge cloud block chain organizer is further used for calling the corresponding block chain according to the service request of the terminal and distributing computing, storage and network resources for the corresponding block chain. The block chain application in the embodiment of the invention refers to a block chain deployed in a BaaS server.
Specifically, the edge cloud block chain orchestrator may be deployed through Openstack. The Openstack is an open-source cloud computing management platform project and mainly comprises a Nova module and a Swift module, wherein the Nova module is used for virtual server deployment and service computing, and the Swift module is a distributed storage module. Openstack is also used to provide an Application Programming Interface (API), through which different application services can be integrated. For example, the Nova module can provide virtual services, and the terminal can implement operations such as virtual machine creation and deletion through the Nova-API. Of course, the edge cloud block chain orchestrator may also be deployed in other manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Based on Openstack, the edge cloud block chain orchestrator in the embodiment of the present invention may create an edge cloud host or delete an edge cloud host in a BaaS server. Of course, the edge cloud block chain orchestrator may also add a block chain in the created edge cloud host, so that the edge cloud host may provide an application service based on the block chain for the terminal.
The edge cloud host can be a virtual machine created by the edge cloud blockchain organizer, and is used for deploying the blockchain and providing corresponding blockchain services for the terminal.
The service registration manager is used for storing a mapping relation between the block chain and the edge cloud host, so that when the terminal initiates a service request, the BaaS server can determine the edge cloud host stored in the block chain according to the block chain identifier carried in the service request and the mapping relation.
For example, the mapping relationship stored in the service registration manager may be as shown in table 1 below:
TABLE 1
| Block chain identification | Edge cloud host | Remarks for note |
| 0000019d763ae46a2a6c172b60a8ce26f | First edge cloud host | |
| 000001gretgrfrea423a6c172b3f1bce26f | Second edge cloud host | |
| 000001ngd543v5ha2a6c172b3f1b60a8c | Third edge cloud host | |
| … | … |
According to the mapping relationship shown in table 1 above, if the blockchain identifier carried in the service request is 0000019d763ae46a2a6c172b60a8ce26f, it may be determined that the blockchain called by the terminal is stored in the first edge cloud host.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned blockchain identifier is only exemplary, and in practice, the blockchain identifier may also be generated by an encryption algorithm and a key, and thus the blockchain identifier may also be constantly changing.
Optionally, the service request sent by the terminal includes a blockchain identifier. As shown in fig. 4, an edge cloud host includes an edge cloud management platform, a virtualization infrastructure, and at least one blockchain.
The edge cloud management platform is used for determining a corresponding block chain according to the block chain identifier.
Specifically, the edge cloud management platform includes a service registry and a domain name management system, the service registry can store a mapping relationship between a block chain identifier and a block chain, the BaaS server can determine a block chain called by a terminal according to the block chain identifier carried in a service request sent by the terminal and the mapping relationship, the mapping relationship stored in the service registry can be as shown in table 1, and the difference is that the mapping relationship in the service registry is used for reflecting a corresponding relationship between the block chain identifier and the block chain; the domain name management system is used for determining the address of the block chain, so that the BaaS server can call the block chain according to the address of the block chain.
It should be noted that the edge cloud management platform is a set of basic functions required for running an application on a virtualization infrastructure and enabling it to provide and use a blockchain service. Optionally, the edge cloud management platform is further configured to provide hosting of blockchain services, receive domain name system records, and configure domain name system agents/servers. The blockchain service here includes: the BaaS server can determine the relevant information of the block chain through an edge management platform, such as the data function of the block chain; and the information sent by the terminal can be positioned through the edge management platform so as to point to the corresponding block chain.
The virtualization infrastructure is used to provide computing, storage, and network resources for the blockchain.
In particular, the virtualization infrastructure may provide computing, storage, and network resources for the operation of blockchains, and may provide persistent storage and time-related information for blockchains; the virtualization infrastructure comprises a data plane, and is used for executing forwarding rules on data sent by the edge cloud management platform and carrying out traffic routing between the block chain and the network.
The block chain is used for providing a corresponding block chain service for the terminal.
Specifically, the blockchain may be a virtual machine instance running on a virtualization infrastructure, and the blockchain-based service may be provided to the outside through the edge cloud management platform.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the BaaS server further includes an edge cloud management platform manager and a virtualization infrastructure manager.
The edge cloud management platform manager comprises block chain life cycle management and block chain rule and requirement management. A blockchain lifecycle management for managing creation and termination of blockchains; and the block chain rule and demand management is used for managing the flow rule of the edge cloud management platform and the configuration of the domain name management system. The flow rule is used for indicating forwarding of flow in the BaaS server, for example, indicating forwarding of flow among the block chain, the edge cloud management platform and the edge cloud management platform manager.
The virtualized infrastructure manager is used to provide computing, storage, and network resources for the blockchain.
In particular, the virtualization infrastructure manager may manage virtual resources of the blockchain, where management may refer to allocation and release of virtual compute, storage, and network resources; the virtualization infrastructure manager may also store the impact of blockchain applications to facilitate fast instantiation of blockchain applications. Certainly, the virtualization infrastructure manager may obtain information of the virtual resource, and report the information to the edge cloud block chain organizer and the edge cloud platform manager, so that the edge cloud block chain organizer and the edge cloud platform manager can know the use information of the virtual resource and provide a basis for running the block chain application. The virtual resources herein may be provided by a virtualization infrastructure.
It should be noted that the BaaS server provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include an edge cloud system layer, an edge cloud host layer, and a network layer, where the edge cloud system layer includes the operating system, the edge cloud block chain organizer, and the service registration manager, the edge cloud host layer includes an edge cloud host, an edge cloud management platform manager, and a virtualization infrastructure manager, and the network layer includes a third generation partnership project (3 GPP) cellular network, a local network, and an external network, and is configured to provide the BaaS server with access to a mobile cellular network, a local network, or an external network. The edge cloud system layer, the edge cloud host layer and the network layer may be deployed on the same server, or may be separately deployed, for example, the edge cloud system layer is deployed to the cloud, and the edge cloud host layer and the network layer are deployed on another server.
It should be noted that the above forwarding rule may be received by the edge cloud management platform from the edge cloud management platform manager and the blockchain, and is used to indicate the routing of the data traffic between the BaaS servers. The BaaS server provided by the embodiment of the invention realizes the rapid deployment of the block chain based on the MEC architecture, so that the block chain can share the calculation, storage and network resources of the server. In practice, the BaaS server may further include other functional modules, which are not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention, for example, the edge cloud host may further include a service in addition to the blockchain, and divide the blockchain into a blockchain application and a blockchain service, and a person skilled in the art may add a corresponding functional module to the BaaS server as needed, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
The block chain as a service server provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises: the edge cloud block chain organizer comprises an edge cloud block chain organizer and at least one edge cloud host; the edge cloud block chain orchestrator is used for managing an edge cloud host and deploying at least one block chain to the edge cloud host; the edge cloud host is used for deploying the block chain and providing block chain service for the terminal; and the edge cloud block chain organizer is also used for calling the corresponding block chain according to the service request of the terminal and distributing calculation, storage and network resources for the corresponding block chain. The block chain as a service server provided by the invention can deploy the edge cloud host through the edge cloud block chain orchestrator and deploy at least one block chain in the edge cloud host. Because the edge cloud block chain organizer and the edge cloud host can be deployed in one server or cloud end, the block chains can share the computing, storage and network resources of the server or cloud end. When a terminal needs to call a block chain, namely the block chain in the service server, the edge cloud block chain organizer can call the corresponding block chain through the edge cloud host and allocate required calculation, storage and network resources to the block chain, so that calculation, storage and network resource sharing among a plurality of block chains is realized, and resource waste caused by the deployment of a plurality of sets of hardware systems for the construction of the plurality of block chains is avoided.
The deployment of the BaaS server may include: 1. deploying an edge cloud block chain organizer at a server by using Openstack; 2. deploying at least one edge cloud host in a server through an edge cloud block chain orchestrator; 3. deploying at least one block chain to an edge cloud host through an edge cloud block chain orchestrator; 4. registering the edge cloud host and the block chain to a service registration manager through an edge cloud block chain organizer; 5. and deploying a service registry in the edge cloud host through the edge cloud block chain organizer, and registering the block chain to the service registry.
Optionally, the edge cloud block chain organizer may be deployed in a separate cloud server through an Openstack, or may be deployed in the same cloud server with the edge cloud host. The above process only includes the deployment of the edge cloud host, and in practice, the edge cloud platform manager and the virtualization infrastructure manager may also be deployed by the edge cloud block chain organizer. Registering the blockchain to the service registry may be performed by the edge cloud blockchain organizer or the edge cloud platform manager, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Based on the foregoing BaaS server, as shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides a block chain sharing method, including:
s101, a block chain, namely a service server receives a service request sent by a terminal.
Wherein the service request comprises at least one blockchain identification.
Specifically, when the terminal needs to call a blockchain application in the BaaS server, a service request may be sent to the BaaS server, and after receiving the service request, the BaaS server obtains a blockchain identifier carried by the service request by analyzing the service request.
S102, the block chain, namely the service server, determines the block chain corresponding to the service request according to the block chain identifier and the mapping relation.
Specifically, since a plurality of edge cloud hosts may be deployed in the BaaS server, and each edge cloud host may deploy a block chain, after receiving a service request, the BaaS server needs to determine an edge cloud host that provides a block chain service for the service request, and then determine a block chain that specifically provides the service.
Optionally, the mapping relationship includes a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship, where the first mapping relationship is used to indicate a corresponding relationship between the blockchain identifier and the edge cloud host, and the second mapping relationship is used to indicate a corresponding relationship between the blockchain identifier and the blockchain; the first mapping relationship may be stored in a service registration manager and the second mapping relationship may be stored in a service registry. As shown in fig. 7, step S102 may include:
s1021, the blockchain as a service server determines the edge cloud host corresponding to the service request according to the blockchain identifier and the first mapping relation.
Specifically, after determining the blockchain identifier, the BaaS server may query the service registration manager for the edge cloud host corresponding to the blockchain identifier, as shown in table 1 above, if the blockchain identifier is 000001 gretgrifea 423a6c172b3f1bce26 8926 26f, it is determined that the blockchain called by the service request is stored in the second edge host, and the corresponding blockchain needs to be run by the second edge host, and the terminal provides the corresponding service.
S1022, the blockchain, i.e., the service server, determines the blockchain corresponding to the service request according to the blockchain identifier and the second mapping relationship.
Specifically, as in step S1021, after the BaaS server determines the edge cloud host, since the edge cloud host can store a plurality of block chains, the BaaS server also needs to determine a corresponding block chain according to the block chain identifier, and the block chain provides a service for the terminal.
It should be noted that, when only one edge cloud host is included in the BaaS server, step S1021 may not be executed any more; when the BaaS server determines that only one blockchain is included in the edge cloud host, step S1022 may not be executed any more, and the blockchain in the edge cloud host may directly provide a service for the terminal.
And S103, the block chain, namely the service server, provides services for the terminal through the block chain.
Specifically, after the BaaS server determines a specific block chain, the corresponding service can be provided for the terminal through the block chain.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 8, after step S103, the method further includes:
and S104, the blockchain serving server allocates corresponding calculation, storage and network resources for the blockchain.
Specifically, the BaaS server may obtain, through the virtualization infrastructure manager, usage of virtual resources, such as computation, storage, and network resource usage of the virtualization infrastructure, and allocate corresponding computation, storage, and network resources to the block chain requested by the terminal according to the usage of these resources.
In the block chain sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of block chains can be deployed on one edge cloud host, and the plurality of edge cloud hosts can be deployed in the same server. When the BaaS server receives a service request of a terminal, different calculation, storage and network resources can be allocated to the BaaS server according to different block chains of the request, so that server resources are shared by a plurality of block chains, and waste of hardware resources is avoided.
As shown in fig. 9, an embodiment of the present invention provides a block chain as a service server 20, including:
a receiving module 201, configured to receive a service request sent by a terminal; the service request includes at least one blockchain identification.
The processing module 202 is configured to determine a blockchain corresponding to the service request according to the blockchain identifier and the mapping relationship received by the receiving module 201.
