Further, in the face of the feature that 5G applications need to be sunk to the Edge of the network, MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing) systems have come and are already incorporated into the 3gpp 5G standard as a key technology.

Thereby enabling communication of network data.

However, in the current network architecture of 5g + MEC + HINOC, the communication architecture and mechanism of the MEC system and the HINOC network cannot meet the user service requirements from the 5G core network in the aspects of communication management, policy controllability and the like, which also results in that the communication experience of the user cannot be met.

It should be noted that the following application scenarios are merely illustrated for facilitating understanding of the spirit and principles of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in any way in this respect. Rather, embodiments of the present application may be applied to any scenario where applicable.

The application also provides a communication method, a communication device, a target terminal and a medium.

Fig. 1 schematically shows a flow diagram of a method of communication according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a network architecture composed of a coaxial cable broadband access HINOC network, a 5G network, and an edge computing MEC system, and includes:

the MEC system receives a service request message sent by a target client, wherein the target client is a client under a 5G communication network, and the service request message carries position information of the target client.

It should be noted that the HINOC network in the present application is a high performance coaxial access network (HINOC), which is a technology for implementing network communication by using coaxial cable channels. At present, the first generation technology of HINOC (HINOC 1.0) and the second generation technology of HINOC (HINOC 2.0) are both China radio and television industry standards, and the standard numbers are GY/T265 and GY/T297 respectively. Further, HINOC1.0 and HINOC2.0 are also international ITU-T standards, the J.195 and J.196 standards, respectively.

The HINOC protocol stack is shown in fig. 2 and includes technical details of two parts, a physical layer (PHY layer) and a medium access control layer (MAC layer). The PHY layer defines the HINOC signaling modes, such as physical layer frame structure, channel coding and modulation techniques, etc. The MAC layer implements media access control and service adaptation functions in the HINOC system, and may be divided into two sublayers: the Convergence Sublayer (CS) realizes the adaptation of the CPS function and the high-level function, and comprises the steps of address learning and forwarding table construction, priority mapping, data frame framing/deframing and data frame retransmission; the Common Part Sublayer (CPS) implements media access control and channel allocation, node admission/withdrawal and link maintenance functions.

Further, the MEC system (Multi-access Edge Computing) is an Edge Computing system, which provides a new network architecture by combining with an operator network, and provides the network operator with the IT service and cloud Computing functions required by the user nearby by using the wireless access network, thereby creating a telecommunication service environment with high performance, low delay and high bandwidth, and enabling the communication user to enjoy high-quality service experience.

Specifically, for 5G (5 th Generation mobile networks or 5th Generation wireless systems, 5th-Generation, fifth Generation mobile communication technology) communication networks, MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing) is developed due to the characteristic that 5G applications need to be sunk to the Edge of the network, and has been incorporated into the 3gpp 5G standard as a key technology. As shown in fig. 3, the 5G core network is separated from the UP (User Plane) by a CP (Control Plane), the UPF (User Plane Function, user Plane network element) can be flexibly deployed to the edge of the network in a sinking manner, and Control Plane functions such as PCF (Policy Control Function) and SMF (Session Management Function) can be deployed in a centralized manner. Whereas MEC enables operator and third party services to be hosted near the access point of a UE (User Equipment), thereby enabling efficient service delivery by reducing end-to-end delay and load on the transport network. The 5G core network selects a UPF close to the UE and performs flow control from the UPF to the local data network over the N6 interface.

In addition, for the introduction of 5G high frequency, the traditional outdoor coverage indoor scheme faces a series of challenges, and outdoor signals can only provide shallow indoor coverage after penetrating through barriers such as brick walls, glass and cement, and good experience required by indoor deep coverage cannot be guaranteed. The wired coaxial network becomes an effective home-entry channel of the indoor coverage of the home-level 5G small cell base station. The problem of 5G indoor deep coverage can be effectively solved by utilizing an HINOC (HIgh performance Network Over Coax) technology based on a wired coaxial Network. The HINOC local side equipment HB is positioned at a building head or a corridor and is connected to the UPF through an optical network; the HINOC terminal equipment HM forms a star network with the HB through a coaxial cable in the corridor, and is connected with the indoor 5G small base station through an Ethernet interface.

Furthermore, in the communication network architecture, when the MEC system receives a service request message sent by a target client in the 5G communication network, the location information carried in the service request message may be extracted, where the location information may be a base station ID, an IP address, and the like.

And S102, the MEC system determines target local side equipment under the HINOC network corresponding to the target client side based on the position information.

Further, the MEC system in the application also interacts with a 5G core network. Specifically, before the MEC system sends the policy rule message to the office device HB, the MEC system needs to first obtain the location information (such as a base station ID, an IP address, and the like) of the user carried by the message, so that the MEC system can query the HB (i.e., the target office device) of the uplink where the user is located from the network management system existing on the third-party server according to the location information of the user.

In addition, the network management system in the embodiment of the present application may store, in advance, the binding relationship between each office device HB, the HM in the office, and the base station in the HINOC network. So that the subsequent MEC system can determine the HB of the uplink of the HINOC network where the user is located according to the position information of the client.

And S103, the MEC system formulates a communication strategy rule according to the target local side equipment and the target client, wherein the communication strategy rule is used for indicating the target local side equipment to execute a communication mode corresponding to the communication strategy rule.

After determining the target central office device of the uplink where the user is located, the MEC system may also query the target central office device for the current communication status. In one approach, if the MEC system is trusted by the 5G core network, the MEC orchestrator may query the 5G core network for attribute information of the user in order to better formulate policy rules. And if the MEC system is not trusted by the 5G core network, the MEC system may determine whether to execute the locally set communication policy rule on the service request message from the 5G core network according to the subscription terms with the 5G core network, so as to effectively adjust the policy rule for the user.

In one mode, in the mode of formulating the communication policy rule according to the target central office device and the target client, the communication policy rule may be determined according to the communication quality performance of the client and the service type corresponding to the service request message. It will be appreciated that for example, for traffic of a type requiring a large amount of traffic, policy rules for high traffic may be formulated. Or, for a client with lower communication quality performance, a policy rule for low communication traffic may be formulated for the client.

And S104, the MEC system sends the communication strategy rule to the target local side equipment.

Optionally, in another embodiment based on the foregoing method of the present application, the location information of the target client includes at least one of a base station identifier corresponding to the target client and an IP address corresponding to the target client.

The base station is a public mobile communication base station existing in a 5G communication network, is an interface device for a client of a user to access the communication network, is also a form of a radio station, and refers to a radio transceiver station for information transmission with the client through a mobile communication switching center in a certain radio coverage area. According to the embodiment of the application, the local side equipment identifier of the uplink to which the client belongs under the HINOC network can be determined according to the base station identifier or the IP address corresponding to the client.

Optionally, in another embodiment based on the foregoing method of the present application, the determining, by the MEC system, a target central office device in the HINOC network corresponding to the target client based on the location information includes:

the MEC system sends an equipment query request to the network management system, wherein the equipment query request is used for querying the local side equipment identifier of an uplink corresponding to the position information in the HINOC network;

the MEC system determines a target local side device according to the local side device identification returned by the network management system;

Further, in a HINOC communication network, uplink refers to the physical path of signals from a mobile station to a base station. After determining the identification of the central office end device of the uplink in the HINOC communication network corresponding to the target client, the method and the device can subsequently send the communication strategy information to the central office end device. Further, after determining the target central office device, a resource query request for determining the available bandwidth, the load condition, and the operating condition of the central office device may be sent to the target central office device, so as to subsequently determine the availability of the target central office device.

Optionally, in another embodiment based on the foregoing method of the present application, before the MEC system receives a service request message sent by a target client, where the target client is a client in a 5G communication network, the method further includes:

the MEC system sends a resource query request to at least one local side device in the HINOC network, wherein the resource query request is used for determining available bandwidth, load condition and running condition of the current at least one local side device;

Further, when the MEC system receives information of available bandwidth, load condition, operation condition, and the like returned by at least one central office device in the HINOC network, the central office device with the communication quality higher than the preset standard may be selected as the available central office device according to the communication condition of the at least one central office device (that is, if there are a plurality of central office devices, one of the central office devices may be selected as the target central office device according to the information of available bandwidth, load condition, operation condition, and the like). Therefore, the disadvantage that the communication experience of the user is poor due to the fact that the local side equipment is unavailable when the communication request of the user is received subsequently is avoided.

Specifically, the communication quality such as the available bandwidth and the load condition of the local side device is affected by the performance of the client, the quality of the network device, the resource usage condition, the network peak time, the website service capability, the line attenuation, the signal attenuation, and other factors. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can comprehensively calculate the respective communication quality conditions and the like by the central office device according to the above factors.

The at least one central office device sending the resource query request may be all central office devices in the HINOC network, or may be one or more designated target central office devices, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, in another embodiment based on the foregoing method of the present application, after determining available central office equipment under the HINOC network, the method further includes:

the MEC system acquires the communication quality performance of a target client and the service type corresponding to the service request message;

the MEC system determines target local side equipment in the available local side equipment according to the communication quality performance and the service type;

and the MEC system formulates a communication strategy rule according to the target local side equipment, the communication quality performance and the service type.

Further, for example, after receiving the communication quality performance of the target client and the service type corresponding to the message, the MEC system may specifically make a communication policy rule for the office device according to the level of the communication quality performance, the importance degree of the service type, or the size of the required communication traffic. In one approach, for example, for a service with a higher traffic importance level, a policy rule with a high traffic flow may be formulated, and for a service with a lower traffic importance level, a policy rule with a low traffic flow may be formulated. Or, for a client with lower communication quality performance, a policy rule with low communication traffic may be formulated, and for a client with higher communication quality performance, a policy rule with high communication traffic may be formulated. Or, a communication policy rule may be formulated according to the communication quality of the target central office end device, for example, for a central office end device with high communication quality, a policy rule with high communication traffic may be formulated for the central office end device.

Optionally, in another embodiment based on the foregoing method of the present application, after the MEC system sends the communication policy rule to the target central office device, the method further includes:

and if the MEC system does not receive the response reply of the target local side equipment after the preset time period, sending a troubleshooting notice to the HINOC network, wherein the troubleshooting notice is used for indicating the HINOC network to troubleshoot the availability of the target local side equipment.

Further, if a reply message of the central office device is not received within a period of time after the MEC system sends the communication policy rule to the target central office device, in order to avoid a situation that the central office device is affected by a failure or the like, a troubleshooting notification for indicating the availability of the target central office device to the HINOC network may be sent to the HINOC network. So as to ensure timely understanding of the communication status of the local side device.

In the application, the MEC system may receive a service request message sent by a target client in a 5G communication network, determine, based on the location information, a target office device in the HINOC network corresponding to the target client, and then formulate, according to the target office device and the target client, a communication policy rule for instructing the target office device to execute a communication mode corresponding to the communication policy rule, so as to subsequently send the communication policy rule to the target office device. Therefore, the defect that in the network architecture of 5G + MEC + HINOC, the communication architecture and mechanism of the MEC system and the HINOC network cannot meet the service requirement in the aspects of communication management and policy management in the related technology is avoided.
