下面对本申请实施例进行详细描述,请结合图2和图3进行理解,图2为本申请实施例中基于MEC的业务部署架构示意图,图3为本申请实施例中提供的一种业务管理的方法的一个实施例的步骤流程示意图。
步骤301、业务服务器向开放功能设备发送待部署业务的业务描述信息和业务执行信息。
业务服务器向开放功能设备发送待部署业务的业务请求,该业务请求包括业务描述信息和业务执行信息。该业务执行信息包括至少一个执行程序和业务逻辑关系,该执行程序用于执行该业务对应的功能;该业务逻辑关系为当执行程序为至少两个时,至少两个执行程序之间的关系,该业务逻辑关系包括独立关系和依赖关系。例如,在一个应用场景中,业务执行信息包括第一执行程序(如面部识别模块)和第二执行程序(如车辆追踪模块),第一执行程序的结果和第二执行程序的结果没有相关性,也就是说,第一执行程序的执行结果和第二执行程序的执行结果互相不影响,即业务逻辑关系为独立关系。在另一个应用场景中,业务执行信息包括第一道路拥堵分析模块和第二道路拥堵分析模块,第二道路拥堵分析模块的分析结果依赖于第一道路拥堵分析模块的分析结果,即该业务逻辑关系为依 赖关系。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,对于该业务执行信息中所包括的具体执行程序只是为了方便说明而举的例子,并不造成对本申请的限定性说明。具体的,可以包括如下步骤:
A1:业务服务器向开放功能设备发送待部署业务的业务请求,该业务请求包括业务描述信息;该业务请求用于向开放功能设备请求部署该业务。可选的,该业务描述信息可以包括与该业务相关的地理区域的信息。
A2:开放功能设备接收到该业务请求后,通过部署请求解析器对该业务请求进行解析,得到信息业务描述信息,并向业务服务器反馈响应,该响应用于指示允许部署业务。
A3:业务服务器接收到响应后,向开放功能设备发送业务执行信息,该业务执行信息包括至少一个执行程序,该执行程序用于执行该业务对应的功能。
例如,在一个应用场景中,请结合图4进行理解,图4为本申请实施例中一个场景示意图。业务服务器向开放功能设备发送待部署业务的业务请求,该业务请求为失联人员搜救的请求,该业务描述信息包括失联人员的照片、乘坐车辆的车牌号码和地理区域的信息,该地理区域的信息可以为失联人员可能会去的地方,常去的地方,或者失联前最后出现的地方等等。开放功能设备接收到该查询失联人员的请求后,向业务服务器反馈允许部署的响应,该运行部署信息用于指示业务服务器可以部署该业务,业务服务器接收到该响应后,向开放功能设备发送业务执行信息,例如,该业务执行信息包括第一执行程序和第二执行程序,第一执行程序为面部识别执行程序(本示例中也称为面部识别模块),用于对失联人员的面部识别,第二执行程序为车辆追踪执行程序(本示例中也称为车辆追踪模块),用于识别失联人员乘坐的车辆的车牌号码。在本示例中,面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块之间的业务逻辑关系为独立关系。本申请实施例中,待部署的业务为为了方便说明而举的例子,并不造成对本申请的限定性说明。
需要说明的是,若是第三方业务服务器已经向开放功能设备发送过相同的待部署的业务,则不需要像开放功能设备发送业务执行信息,该业务执行信息已经存储至开放功能设备中,例如,业务服务器第一次向开放功能设备发送失联人员搜救业务的请求,业务服务器已经向开放功能设备发送过面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块,则在第二次请求部署失联人员搜救业务时,可以不向开放功能设备发送面部识别模块和车辆最终模块。
步骤302、开放功能设备接收业务描述信息和业务执行信息,并将业务描述信息和业务执行信息向MEC管理设备发送。
B1:开放功能设备接收业务描述信息和业务执行信息后,从多个MEC设备中选择MEC管理设备。
例如,该多个MEC设备包括MEC 0,MEC 1,MEC 2,…MEC 8等等。
在第一种可能的实现方式中,开放功能设备可以从多个MEC设备中指定一个MEC设备作为MEC管理设备。
在第二种可能的实现方式中,开放功能设备监控MEC设备的实时状态信息,该状态信息用于指示MEC设备的处理能力,该实时状态信息包括但不限定于CPU状态,当前负载和当前存储量等等,开放功能设备可以根据MEC设备的实时状态信息选择一个处理能力较强 的MEC设备作为MEC管理设备,或者,开放功能设备从多个MEC执行设备中选择处理能力大于阈值的MEC执行设备作为MEC管理设备。
在第三种可能的实现方式中,开放功能设备获取业务描述信息中的地理区域的信息,该多个MEC设备的覆盖范围包括所述地理区域,确定覆盖范围包括所述地理区域的多个MEC设备,然后根据该多个MEC设备的处理能力从多个MEC设备中选择一个处理能力最强的MEC设备作为MEC管理设备。
例如,在一种应用场景中,业务描述信息中的地理区域为失联人员最后出现的地方为F市L区G街道Q商场门口,开放功能设备确定以该Q商场门口为中心,半径为5000范围内的3个MEC设备,从这3个MEC设备中选择一个处理能力最强的MEC设备作为MEC管理设备。需要说明的是,本示例中,对于选择MEC管理设备的方法只是举例说明,并不造成对本申请的限定性说明。
B2:开放功能设备向MEC管理设备发送所述业务描述信息和业务执行信息。
例如,开放功能设备将失联人员的照片、车牌号码、面部识别模块,车辆追踪模块,及面板识别模块和车辆追踪模块之间的业务逻辑关系发送至MEC管理设备。
步骤303、MEC管理设备接收业务描述信息和业务执行信息,MEC管理设备根据业务描述信息和业务执行信息确定目标MEC执行设备。该MEC管理设备接收到该业务描述信息和业务执行信息后,将业务执行信息包括的执行程序存储于功能模块库中。
具体的,可以包括如下步骤:C1:该MEC管理设备分析执行程序的特征,根据业务执行信息的特征和地理区域确定业务执行信息的期望部署位置。
该MEC管理设备根据执行程序的特征,各执行程序之间的业务逻辑关系及地理区域综合确定执行程序的期望部署位置。本申请实施例中,可以部署对于地理位置较为敏感的业务,适合在在移动边缘计算环境下地理位置敏感、且实时性要求高的业务。
例如,该执行程序还是以面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块为例进行说明,该MEC管理设备分析面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块的特征,如,面部识别模块适合部署到人口密集区,或者可以理解为,将面部识别模块部署到人口密集区更能有效的发挥面部识别模块的功能;而车辆追踪模块适合部署到道路旁,或者可以理解为,将车辆追踪模块部署到道路旁更能有效的发挥车辆追踪模块的功能,该期望部署位置属于该地理区域。本示例中,该各执行程序之间的业务逻辑关系为独立关系,因此,车辆追踪模块和面部识别模块可以分别部署,并不相互影响。
MEC管理设备确定各功能模块期望部署的地理位置。例如,该期望部署位置属于Q商场门口为中心,半径为5000范围内。
C2:MEC管理设备向开放功能设备发送期望部署位置,期望部署位置用于开放功能设备确定MEC执行设备的集合。
MEC执行设备的集合包括至少一个MEC设备,例如,期望部署位置点的集合为Lm={(x 1,y 1),…,(x k,y k)},其中,(x 1,y 1),…,(x k,y k)为期望部署位置的坐标。
C3:MEC管理设备向开放功能设备发送查询请求,该查询请求携带该期望部署位置Lm。
开放功能设备负责监控所有MEC设备的性能与状态,且开放功能设备存储所有MEC设 备的位置信息,该MEC管理设备向开放功能设备发送查询请求,该查询请求用于查询期望部署位置的附近的MEC执行设备。
C4:开放功能设备接收MEC管理设备发送的查询请求,提取期望部署位置Lm。
C5:开放功能设备从节点信息库中查询位于期望部署位置Lm预置范围内的MEC设备,例如,在期望部署位置(x 1,y 1)的预置范围内的MEC设备为MEC 1,期望部署位置(x 2,y 2)的预置范围内的MEC设备为MEC 2和MEC 3等等,需要说明的是,一个期望部署位置预置范围内的MEC设备的数量并不限定,在Lm中每个期望部署位置的预置范围内的MEC设备组成了MEC执行设备的集合,例如,MEC执行设备所在位置的集合为Le={(x 1′,y 1′),…,(x n′,y n′)}。
C6:开放功能设备将该MEC执行设备的集合Le发送至MEC管理设备,该MEC执行设备的集合Le也可以理解为初始MEC执行设备的集合。
C7:MEC管理设备接收开放功能设备发送的MEC执行设备的集合Le;
C8:MEC管理设备从MEC执行设备的集合中选择目标MEC执行设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中,MEC管理设备确定MEC执行设备的集合中MEC执行设备的位置与期望部署位置之间的距离;MEC管理设备根据距离从MEC执行设备的集合中选择目标MEC执行设备。
例如,业务执行信息包括N个执行程序,期望地理位置包括N个期望部署位置;N个执行程序中的第i个执行程序与N个期望部署位置中的第i个期望部署位置相对应;MEC管理设备比较期望地理位置中的第i个期望部署位置与MEC执行设备集合中的每个MEC执行设备的地理位置之间的距离,i取遍N中的每一个数值。
若第i个期望部署位置与第j个MEC执行设备之间的距离最短,则MEC管理设备确定第i个期望部署位置与第j个MEC执行设备相匹配。
MEC管理设备建立第i个期望部署位置所对应的第i个执行程序与第j个MEC执行设备的对应关系。
MEC管理设备根据期望部署位置点Lm={(x 1,y 1),…,(x k,y k)}以及MEC执行设备的集合Le={(x 1′,y 1′),…,(x n′,y n′)},计算第i个位置点与MEC执行设备的集合中第j个MEC节点之间的距离D ij,选择距离第i个期望部署位置最近的第j个MEC执行设备作为目标MEC执行设备。
在另一个可能的实现方式中,MEC管理设备从开放功能设备获取每个MEC执行设备的实时状态信息;MEC管理设备根据距离和MEC执行设备的实时状态信息从MEC执行设备的集合中选择目标MEC执行设备。该实时状态信息包括但不限定于MEC执行设备的CPU状态,负载情况和存储情况等等。例如,若距离第i个期望部署位置的第j个MEC执行设备的距离为X,距离该第i个期望部署位置的第k个MEC执行设备的距离为Y,而X和Y之间的差异参数小于阈值,可以理解的是,当两个MEC执行设备距离同一个期望部署位置距离的差异较小,则可以进一步根据这两个MEC执行设备的实时状态信息来选择与该第i个期望部署位置相匹配的目标MEC执行设备,例如,当前第k个MEC执行设备的处理能力大于第j个MEC执行设备(记作“MEC j”)的处理能力,则此时选择第k个MEC执行设备(记作“MEC k”) 作为与该第i个期望部署位置相匹配的目标MEC执行设备。
步骤304,MEC管理设备通过管理器制定部署策略,部署策略包括执行程序与目标MEC执行设备的对应关系。
MEC管理设备选择了目标MEC执行设备后,向目标MEC执行设备发送子业务部署请求,例如,MEC管理设备向第k个目标MEC执行设备(MEC k)发送子业务部署请求,该子业务部署请求用于请求部署子业务,即车辆追踪业务,目标MEC执行设备根据该子业务部署请求向MEC管理设备反馈部署确认信息,当MEC管理设备接收到该部署确认信息后,确定该目标MEC执行设备可以执行该子业务,MEC管理设备制定部署策略。
该执行程序的数量为至少一个,该目标MEC执行设备的数量为至少一个,MEC管理设备确定了与第i个期望部署位置相匹配的目标MEC执行设备,MEC管理设备确定了第i个期望部署位置对应的执行程序(如面部识别模块),便可以确定执行程序与目标MEC执行设备的对应关系,例如,面部识别模块与第j个MEC执行设备(MEC j),车辆追踪模块与第k个MEC执行设备(MEC k)具有对应关系。
需要说明的是,在实际应用中,执行程序与目标MEC执行设备可以是一对一的关系,可以是一对多的关系,或者也可以是多对一的关系。例如,若执行程序的数量为N个,期望部署位置的数量为N个,N以3为例,执行程序分别为面部识别模块、车辆追踪模块和图像识别模块,面部识别模块的期望部署位置为人口密集区,对应第1个期望位置,而车辆追踪模块的期望部署位置为道路旁,对应第2个期望部署位置,图像识别模块的期望部署位置同样可以为道路旁,对应第3个期望部署位置,根据距离和MEC执行设备的实时状态信息确定与第2个期望部署位置和第3个期望部署位置相匹配的MEC执行设备为MEC k,也就是说,面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块对应第k个MEC执行设备(MEC k);当然,在另外的情况中,也可能是一个执行程序对应到至少两个MEC执行设备。例如,车辆追踪模块,在识别清晰车牌号时,所需要的资源较小,单个MEC设备可以独立完成,若识别模糊车牌号,计算量较大,需要多个MEC设备协同配合,这样,可以加快识别的速度。需要说明的是,本示例中对于执行程序、执行程序与期望部署位置的对应关系均为举例说明,并不造成对本申请的限定性说明。
步骤305、MEC管理设备向目标MEC执行设备发送业务描述信息和业务执行信息。
MEC管理设备从功能模块库提取执行程序,根据部署策略向目标MEC执行设备发送与之对应的执行程序。
例如,该MEC管理设备将面部识别模块发送至第j个目标执行设备(MEC j),将车辆追踪模块发送至第k个MEC执行设备(MEC k)。
步骤306、目标MEC执行设备接收MEC管理设备发送的业务描述信息和执行程序,运行该执行程序后,获取终端上报的数据,根据终端上报的数据和该业务描述信息得到执行结果。
例如,在一个应用场景中,其中第j个目标MEC执行设备位于人口密集区,该目标MEC执行设备接收到MEC管理设备发送的失联人员照片和面部识别模块,该目标MEC执行设备运行该面部识别模块,并接收各个终端获取的图像信息(如照片),面部识别模块将终端上报的照片与失联人员照片进行匹配,得到执行结果,若匹配成功,则该执行结果包括匹配成 功时的时间戳,及终端获取照片的地理位置。若未匹配成功,则该执行结果包括终端获取照片的地理位置及对应的时间戳,虽然没有匹配成功,但是该执行结果指示了在何时何地没有发现失联人员,有助于缩小查找范围,对失联人员的行踪进行下一步排查。再如,第k个目标MEC执行设备位于道路旁,该目标MEC执行设备接收到MEC管理设备发送的车牌号码的照片和车辆追踪模块,该目标MEC执行设备运行该车辆追踪模块,并接收各个终端(如道路监控摄像头)上报的图像信息,车辆追踪模块将接收到的终端上报的照片与待追踪的车辆的车牌号码进行匹配,得到执行结果,若匹配成功,则该执行结果包括匹配成功时的时间戳,及终端获取照片的地理位置。若未匹配成功,则该执行结果包括终端获取照片的地理位置及对应的时间戳。
步骤307、MEC管理设备接收各个目标MEC执行设备发送的执行结果,并通过聚合器对各个目标MEC执行设备的执行结果进行聚合,得到该待部署业务的业务结果。
MEC管理设备接收到各个目标MEC执行设备发送的执行结果后,根据业务逻辑关系对各个目标MEC执行设备的执行结果进行聚合,得到待部署业务的业务结果。
本示例中,面部识别模块和车辆追踪模块这两个执行程序之间的业务逻辑关系是独立的,例如,该业务结果包括:在2018年1月10日12:06分,在P地点发现失联人员,和,在2018年1月10日10:06分,在F地点发现失联人员乘坐的车辆。
步骤308、MEC管理设备将该业务结果发送至开放功能设备。
可选的,该MEC管理设备也可以将业务结果和部署策略发送至开放功能设备,该开放功能设备存储该部署策略。
步骤309、开放功能设备将该待部署业务的业务结果发送至业务服务器。
本申请实施例中,在移动边缘环境下,利用MEC设备实现第三方业务的自动部署,开放功能设备为第三方业务服务器与MEC管理设备之间的接口设备,MEC管理设备接收开放功能设备发送的待部署业务的业务描述信息和业务执行信息,该业务执行信息包括至少一个执行程序,该执行程序用于执行该待部署业务对应的功能,然后,MEC管理设备确定目标MEC执行设备,目标MEC执行设备为具体执行待部署业务的MEC设备;MEC管理设备向目标MEC执行设备发送业务描述信息和业务执行信息;MEC管理设备接收各个目标MEC执行设备发送的业务执行信息的执行结果,MEC管理设备将各个目标MEC执行设备发送的执行结果进行聚合,得到该待部署业务的业务结果,MEC管理设备向开放功能设备发送业务结果,开放功能设备将该业务结果发送至第三方业务服务器。
本示例中,该待部署业务为失联人员搜救业务,实现了两个维度(水平维度和垂直维度)的协同配合,即可以同时进行面部识别和车辆追踪,将不同的执行程序发送到对应的目标MEC执行设备,从而使得多个MEC执行设备之间进行协作。其中,水平维度:部署面部识别模块与车辆追踪模块,两种执行程序所完成的功能不同,面部识别模块可以用于寻找失联人员最近出现的位置与时间,车辆追踪模块用于追踪可疑车辆当前的位置及对应时间,这两种执行程序共同检测失联人员的所在位置及对应的时间。垂直维度:每种功能模块,可能需要多个边界设备协同配合,例如车辆追踪模块识别清晰车牌号时,所需要的资源较小,单个MEC设备可以独立完成,识别模糊车牌号,计算量较大,需要多个MEC设备协同配 合,从而加快识别的速度。本示例中,待部署的业务是实时性要求高且对于位置较为敏感的业务,本申请实施例中通过开放功能设备、MEC管理设备和MEC执行设备的架构可以自动部署第三方业务,而且可以提高MEC设备的资源利用率。MEC设备本地处理其覆盖区域内所有摄像头上传的路况数据,避免大量路况数据传输造成通信拥堵、传输成本高等问题;并且,通过多个MEC执行设备的协同合作,共同完成一个完整的业务,提高了业务执行的效率。
为了更好的理解本申请,下面对本申请所应用的一个具体的应用场景进行详细说明。
请参阅图5所示,图5为本申请实施例中一个场景示意图。
本申请实施例提供的另一个应用场景,该应用场景的待部署业务的业务描述:利用分布式MEC设备具有位置感知的特性,每个MEC设备具有一定的覆盖区域的特性,离终端(路旁摄像头等)更近等特性,在MEC设备上部署实时路况监控的业务,实时处理分析来自路旁摄像头上传的路况数据,获得城市道路当前的拥堵信息(例如,拥堵、拥挤、缓行和畅通等等),MEC设备通过分析覆盖区域内摄像头上传的路况数据,可以获得覆盖区域内所有道路的拥堵信息;开放功能设备监控所有MEC设备的状态信息,例如,该状态信息包括资源剩余信息、负载信息、CPU状态信息和存储状态信息等。
G1:第三方业务服务器向开放功能设备发送业务部署请求,该业务部署请求携带业务描述信息,该业务描述信息包括地理区域,该地理区域为待监控的路况所在的区域。
开放功能设备接收并解析该业务部署请求,获取地理区域。例如,该业务部署请求为路况实时查询请求,地理区域为“深圳市布龙路”。本示例中地理区域为举例说明,并不造成对本申请的限定性说明。
具体的,开放功能设备查询覆盖区域包括该地理区域内的多个MEC设备,从多个MEC设备中选择一个MEC作为MEC管理设备,开放功能设备选择MEC管理的具体方法可以结合上述实施例中B1步骤进行理解,此处不赘述。
开放功能设备向第三方业务服务器返回响应,该响应用于指示允许部署该路况实时查询业务;
第三方业务服务器接收到该响应后,向开放功能设备发送业务执行信息,例如,该业务执行信息包括道路拥堵分析执行程序(即道路拥堵分析模块)和业务逻辑关系,该业务逻辑关系为各道路拥堵分析模块之间的业务逻辑关系。
G2:MEC管理设备分析道路拥堵分析模块的特征和地理区域,根据路拥堵分析模块的特征和地理区域获取MEC执行设备的集合。
MEC管理设备提取业务部署请求中的道路拥堵分析模块和业务逻辑关系,并将道路拥堵分析模块存储于功能模块库中。
MEC管理设备分析分析功能模块的特征及业务逻辑关系,确定该道路拥堵分析模块的期望部署位置。例如,MEC管理设备分析道路拥堵分析模块的特征,该道路拥堵分析模块应该部署到道路旁,该期望部署位置为靠近“深圳市布龙路”,也就是说,该道路拥堵分析模块需要部署到能够覆盖“深圳市布龙路”的MEC设备上;在一个实现方式中,可以将需要监控的道路进行分段,如将“布龙路”分成M段,根据不同的路段部署道路拥堵分析模块,请结合图7进行理解,图7为本申请实施例中的场景示意图。该“布龙路”包括路段1,路段2, 路段3…路段M,对于路段1,道路拥堵分析模块的期望部署位置为(x 1,y 1)和(x 2,y 2);对于路段2,道路拥堵分析模块的期望部署位置为(x 3,y 3)和(x 4,y 4)等等,针对每个路段进行分析后,得到期望部署位置的集合Lm={(x 1,y 1),…,(x k,y k)};MEC管理设备将Lm作为查询关键字,重新封装为查询请求,并将该查询请求发送至开放功能设备。该业务逻辑关系为各道路拥堵分析模块之间的逻辑关系,例如,对应路段1部署的期望部署位置点(x 1,y 1)的道路拥堵分析模块为第一道路拥堵分析模块,同理,针对期望部署位置点(x 2,y 2)部署第二道路拥堵分析模块;对应路段2,期望部署位置点(x 3,y 3)部署第三道路拥堵分析模块;对应路段3,期望部署位置点(x 4,y 4)部署第四道路拥堵分析模块等等,此处不一一举例,假设车流的方向为从路段1到路段5,则第一道路拥堵分析模块和第二道路拥堵分析模块用于分析路段1的道路拥堵情况,而第三道路拥堵分析模块用于分析路段2的道路拥堵情况,对于后面的路段,例如路段3的道路拥堵情况的分析对于上两个路段(即路段1和路段2)的分析结果具有依赖关系,因此,本示例中各道路拥堵分析模块之间的业务逻辑关系为依赖关系。
开放功能设备解析查询请求,提取Lm;获取位于Lm预置范围内的MEC执行设备的集合,且MEC执行设备的覆盖范围包括该地理区域,获取覆盖该地理区域MEC执行设备的实时状态信息以及MEC执行设备所在位置L e={Le={(x 1′,y 1′),…,(x n′,y n′)};将参与部署的所有MEC执行设备作为初始执行节点集,该初始执行节点集为MEC执行设备的集合,开放功能设备将该MEC执行设备的集合发送至MEC管理设备。MEC管理设备接收开放功能设备发送的MEC执行设备的集合。
G3:MEC管理设备根据MEC执行设备所在位置及状态信息,确定目标MEC执行设备。
根据期望部署位置点Lm={(x 1,y 1),…,(x k,y k)}以及MEC执行设备的集合的位置Le={(x 1′,y 1′),…,(x n′,y n′)},计算第i个期望部署位置点与MEC执行设备的集合中第j个MEC执行设备之间的距离Dij,选择距离第i个位置点最近的MEC执行设备,例如,以(x 1,y 1)为例,距离该(x 1,y 1)距离最近的位置点为(x 1′,y 1′)和(x 2′,y 2′),获取位于(x 1′,y 1′)的MEC执行设备(MEC 1)的实时状态信息和位于(x 2′,y 2′)的MEC执行设备(MEC 2)的实时状态信息,若MEC 1的处理能力大于MEC 2的处理能力,则选择MEC 1为目标MEC执行设备。
G4:MEC管理设备制定部署策略。
具体的,MEC管理设备向每个目标MEC执行设备发送子业务部署请求,询问能否部署道路拥堵分析模块。
目标MEC执行设备接收子业务部署请求,如果可以部署,则根据子业务部署请求向MEC管理设备返回部署确认信息。
MEC管理设备根据接收到的部署确认信息,确定最终的目标MEC执行设备,制定部署策略,该部署策略包括道路拥堵分析模块与目标MEC执行设备的对应关系。
G5:MEC管理设备根据部署策略,向目标MEC执行设备发送对应的道路拥堵分析模块。
MEC管理设备从功能模块库提取道路拥堵分析模块,并分发至对应的目标MEC执行设备。例如,将第一道路拥堵分析模块发送至MEC 1,将第二道路拥堵分析模块发送至MEC 2
G6:目标MEC执行设备接收道路拥堵分析模块,运行道路拥堵分析模块后,接收终端上 报的数据(如道路监控摄像头获取的图像信息),对终端上报的数据进行分析,得到执行结果,该执行结果包括时间戳,拥堵信息和地理位置。目标MEC执行设备向部署MEC管理设备返回执行结果。例如,MEC 1反馈的执行结果为车辆缓行,MEC 2反馈的执行结果为车辆缓行等等。
G7:MEC管理设备聚合所有目标MEC执行设备返回的执行结果,获得业务结果,即道路拥堵情况,并向开放功能设备返回路网拥堵情况以及业务部署策略。例如,该业务结果为在第一路段和第二路段车辆缓行,在第四路段拥堵,“布龙路”整体车流量大且车辆缓行。
G8:开放功能设备将地理区域内路网拥堵情况返回至第三方服务。可选的,开放功能设备存储该业务部署策略。
本示例中,在移动边缘环境下,根据用户的需求,部署实时路况监控业务,利用开放功能设备、MEC管理设备、MEC执行设备和终端,向MEC执行模块部署路况拥堵分析模块,从而实现对业务的自动部署,不仅可以提高边界设备的资源利用率,通过多个MEC执行设备的协同作用可以提高对路况数据处理速度。
