<FIG> is a schematic flowchart of a native computing power service implementation method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a target network device. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the target network device. As shown in <FIG>, the method may include the following steps.

Step S201: Perform logical communication for native computing power service with a terminal through a user plane, and provide the terminal with a native computing power service that meets a computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

In order to realize the native computing power service, the embodiments of the present application introduce a computing service layer (computing service layer, CS layer) and the target network device for realizing the native computing power service.

It should be understood that in this specification, a computing power service is equivalent to a computing service, and computing is equivalent to computing power.

The target network device is a computing service control function (computing service control function, CSCF). The computing power service control functional is a functional entity introduced in the embodiments of the present application dedicated to realizing the native computing power service, or other functional entities that can realize the native computing power service. For the sake of simplicity, in the following embodiments, the CSCF is used as an example for illustration.

As shown in <FIG>, the computing service layer is a user plane (User Plane) established with the user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF) by the terminal through a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN). The user plane is used for native computing power service signaling communication with the CSCF. In this way, the native computing power service that meets the computing power resource requirement of the terminal is realized.

In the case of providing the terminal with a native computing power service that meets the computing power resource requirement of the terminal, the target network device is configured to implement at least one of the following functions on an Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) transmission platform:.

The above logic functions may all be implemented on the target network device, or may be respectively implemented by corresponding logic function entities.

Therefore, in the native computing power service implementation method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the logical communication for native computing power service is performed with the terminal through the user plane, and the terminal is provided with a native computing power service that meets the computing power resource requirement of the terminal, so that the operator can realize and monitor the native computing power service by itself, and simultaneously meet the communication requirement and the computing power requirement of the UE.

<FIG> is another schematic flowchart of a native computing power service implementation method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a target network device. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the target network device. As shown in <FIG>, the method may include the following steps.

Step S401: Establish a user plane session with a terminal according to a first parameter related to access of a native computing power service; where the user plane session is triggered by a non-access stratum (Non Access Stratum, NAS) of the terminal.

The terminal first establishes a user plane session with a target network device CSCF.

It should be understood that the terminal needs to subscribe to a network-based native computing power service in advance.

After the terminal is connected to the network, the terminal can first determine whether the network supports a native computing power service. Specifically, after the network receives a registration message of the terminal, the network can reply a registration acceptance message to notify the terminal of indication information on whether the network supports the native computing power service, and the non-access stratum of the terminal notifies the upper layer of the terminal of the indication information on whether the network supports the native computing power service.

After it is determined that the connected network supports the native computing power service, the first parameter is obtained from the network.

The first parameter includes at least one of the following:.

When the upper layer of the terminal obtains that the network supports the native computing power service, the upper layer of the terminal can determine whether to obtain a certain kind of native computing power service, and send a relevant trigger instruction to the non-access stratum of the UE through an attention command (Attention command, ATcommand) or a qualcomm message interface (Qualcomm Message Interface, QMI) command.

The non-access stratum of the terminal triggers a session establishment process according to the relevant trigger instruction, and establishes a user plane session according to the first parameter.

An access request triggered by the user plane session adopts an access category (access category) corresponding to the access of the native computing power service.

A default quality of service flow of the user plane session adopts a specific service requirement value identifier, and is used to transmit logical communication information for the native computing power service. For example, that 5QI is <NUM> or another value is used to indicate a QoS parameter value.

Step S402: Perform logical communication for native computing power service with a terminal through the user plane session, and provide the terminal with a native computing power service that meets a computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

Therefore, in the native computing power service implementation method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the user plane session is established with the terminal according to the first parameter related to access of the native computing power service, and logical communication for native computing power service is performed with the terminal based on the user plane session, so that the operator can realize and monitor the native computing power service of the terminal, and simultaneously meet the communication requirement and the computing power requirement of the UE.

Step S501: Establish a user plane session with a terminal according to a first parameter related to access of a native computing power service.

The step S501 can implement the method embodiment of the step S401 in <FIG> and achieve the same technical effect, and will not be repeated herein to avoid repetition.

Step S502: Receive a registration request message of the native computing power service sent by the terminal.

Step S503: Execute a registration procedure.

In an embodiment, as shown in <FIG>, the registration procedure includes:.

The computing power service server can obtain user data from the subscription management functional entity according to actual needs.

In an implementation manner, after the third-party registration is performed with the computing power service server, the CSCF may receive a message from the terminal for subscribing to a registration event notification.

In an implementation manner, when the terminal is roaming, a home-routed user plane session is established with the terminal according to the first parameter related to the access of the native computing power service.

Step S504: Perform logical communication for native computing power service with a terminal through the user plane session, and provide the terminal with a native computing power service that meets a computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

The step S504 can implement the method embodiment of the step S402 in <FIG> and achieve the same technical effect, and will not be repeated herein to avoid repetition.

Therefore, in the native computing power service implementation method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the terminal registers the native computing power service through a preset registration procedure, so that the terminal can realize the native computing power service on the operator network.

Step S701: Establish a user plane session with a terminal according to a first parameter related to access of a native computing power service.

Step S702: Receive a registration request message of the native computing power service sent by the terminal.

Step S703: Execute a registration procedure.

The step S701 to <NUM> can implement the method embodiment of the step S501 to <NUM> in <FIG> and achieve the same technical effect, and will not be repeated herein to avoid repetition.

Step S704: After the registration procedure is completed, obtain a computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

After the terminal registers with the CSCF, the terminal negotiates a required native computing power service policy with the CSCF according to the computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

Step S705: Generate a native computing power service policy according to the computing power resource requirement of the terminal, and allocate communication resources and computing power resources to the terminal.

In an embodiment, the CSCF can generate a native computing power service policy directly or through a policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF) according to the computing power resource requirement of the terminal, and allocate communication resources and computing power resources to the terminal.

In order to generate the native computing power service policy, the CSCF or the PCF needs to collect relevant information of each layer in the network for intelligent summary decision-making.

In an implementation manner, the first information is obtained through an execution entity of the target network function.

It should be understood that the execution entity of the target network function is a network data analysis function (Network Data Analytics Function, NWDAF) entity, or other functional entities for performing information or network state collection and analysis, such as an execution entity of an artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) plane, that is, the first information is collected from each layer in the network through the artificial intelligence plane. For the sake of simplicity, in the following embodiments, the execution entity of the artificial intelligence plane is taken as an example for illustration.

The native computing power service policy is generated according to the first information and the computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

The first information includes second information obtained from the transport layer and third information obtained from the native computing layer.

The second information includes at least one of the following: transmission status information on the network side, and location information and a movement track of the terminal.

The third information includes at least one of the following: computing power resource distribution information of the computing power service server in the network.

The artificial intelligence layer transmits the first information obtained from the above two layers to the native computing layer, and the CSCF selects, on the movement track of the terminal according to the computing power QoS requirement of the terminal, a computing power service server and a matched gateway that meet the computing power resource requirement of the terminal and that have the lowest probability of congestion on the transmission path, to form the native computing power service policy.

The native computing power service policy includes: an address or an identifier of a computing power service server, a gateway address or a gateway identifier, transmission quality of service, and other information.

According to the formed computing power service policy, the CSCF updates the native computing power service policy on the session management entity directly or through the PCF, so that the session management entity triggers the session management process, switches the session to an appropriate user plane function, and adjusts the transmission quality of service of the terminal, or the like.

Step S706: Send the native computing power service policy to the terminal.

Step S707: Perform logical communication for native computing power service with a terminal through the user plane session, and provide the terminal with a native computing power service that meets a computing power resource requirement of the terminal.

The step S707 can implement the method embodiment of the step S504 in <FIG> and achieve the same technical effect, and will not be repeated herein to avoid repetition.

Further, in the case that the terminal performs the native computing power service, it is necessary to monitor the current computing power computing service to determine whether the current user plane session meets the computing power resource requirement of the terminal.
