Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an MEC service prompting method, as shown in fig. 3, including:
s101, acquiring identification information of MEC services supported by each local service platform connected with MEC equipment in a local network;
s102, acquiring an identifier of a terminal in a local network and a corresponding bearing link;
s103, according to the identification of the terminal, an MEC service data packet is sent to the corresponding terminal through the bearing link, and the MEC service data packet comprises identification information of the MEC service supported by each local service platform.
In the MEC service prompting method provided by the embodiment of the invention, firstly, services supported by each local service platform of the local network are obtained, then, identification information and links of the local terminal are obtained, and then, the MEC services supported by the local service platforms in the local network are sent to the corresponding terminal through the carrying links of the terminal, so that the terminal can timely know that the MEC services can be used in the local network after being connected to the local network, and the MEC services in the local network can be conveniently used by the terminal, and the MEC service prompting method has better technical advantages and application prospects.
In practical applications, the method provided by the foregoing embodiment may be executed at a mobile edge computing device (i.e., MEC device) as shown in fig. 2, or may be executed on a network device connecting the MEC device, each base station, and a local service platform, which is not particularly limited in this respect.
In specific implementation, since the MEC device (or a network device connecting the MEC device, each base station, and the local service platform, hereinafter referred to as a network device) executing the method may connect a plurality of base stations (fig. 2 only shows that one base station is connected), the obtaining of the identifier of the terminal in the local network and the corresponding bearer link in step S102 of the embodiment of the method may be to obtain the identifier of the terminal in the coverage area of each base station and the corresponding bearer link through the S1 link of each base station. Here, the terminal may refer to an IP address of the terminal, and the bearer link may specifically be a terminal bearer link ID. Of course, other information for identifying the terminal and the corresponding link may be used, and the present invention is not limited to this.
In specific implementation, the step S102 of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the terminal bearer ID and the IP address of the terminal, and the step S103 of sending the data packet to the corresponding terminal may take different measures according to different situations of the network environment where the terminal is located.
Specifically, an example of a flow of the MEC device sending information to the terminal is shown in fig. 4 and 5 below.
For the initial access of the terminal to the network, as shown in fig. 4:
the method comprises the following steps: the terminal is started up and initiates an attachment request to an eNodeB;
step two: the eNodeB sends an attachment request to a core network MME and receives an initial message establishment message fed back by the MME;
step three: the terminal and the eNodeB exchange relevant information to finish the terminal attachment relevant information, and then the eNodeB feeds back an attachment completion message to the MME;
step four: after the attachment is completed, the terminal obtains the IP address allocated by the network, and at this time, the IP address and the bearer link ID of the terminal can be obtained, and then the MEC service data packet is sent to the terminal.
When the terminal performs network handover, as shown in fig. 5:
the method comprises the following steps: the terminal initiates a switching measurement report to a source eNodeB;
step two: the source eNodeB, the target eNodeB and the terminal complete a switching related information interaction process according to a 3GPP process, and complete RRC connection reconfiguration;
step three: after entering the target eNodeB, the terminal can be allocated with an IP address, thereby carrying out normal data service and signaling interaction;
step four: at this time, the IP address and the bearer link ID of the terminal may be acquired, and then the MEC service packet is sent to the terminal.
In specific implementation, the sending of the MEC service data packet to the terminal in step S103 may be implemented in various ways, where several optional implementations may be:
sending an MEC service data packet to a corresponding terminal in a mode of NAS layer short message through a control channel of a bearing link; or, sending MEC service data packet to corresponding terminal in signaling mode through control channel of bearing link; or, sending the MEC service data packet to the corresponding terminal in a normal data packet mode through the data channel of the bearer link. The specific sending method in practical application may be determined according to a practical scenario, and the present invention is not limited in this respect.
In specific implementation, it is understood that, because the current MEC technology has not been applied to each local network in a large scale, when a terminal accesses a new local network, the terminal may not determine whether the current local network can support the MEC service, and may not determine what MEC service the current local network can support, in this embodiment of the present invention, before step S101, the method may further include: it is determined whether the local network supports MEC services. Specifically, whether the MEC service is supported or not may be determined by detecting whether the MEC device is set in the local network and the local service platform.
Correspondingly, the MEC service data packet sent to the terminal may further include an MEC function identifier, where the MEC function identifier is used to indicate whether the local network supports the MEC function. So that the terminal can first know whether the MEC function is supported locally. Furthermore, the identification information of the MEC service in the MEC service data packet may be stored in the MEC service data packet in the form of an identification information list. That is, after receiving the data packet and performing corresponding analysis, the terminal side can obtain the MEC service identifier list supported by the local network, so that what MEC service is supported in the local network can be clearly known through the list.
In addition, the MEC data packet may further include other information, and the other information, the MEC function indicator and the MEC service identifier may be packaged into a data packet according to a preset composition rule. Specific contents of one optional MEC service data packet may be as follows, including:
(1) "MEC information packet signature": the MEC service identification list is used for indicating that the data packet is a data packet of an MEC function identification and supported MEC service identification list;
(2) "MEC function identifier": indicating whether this cell supports MEC functionality;
(3) "supported MEC service identity list": indicating all MEC services that the MEC of the cell can support, wherein each service can have an identifier uniquely corresponding to the whole network, and all the supported services are represented in a list mode;
(4) and others: other content fields may be set according to the requirements of the service demander or the network operator.
Note: each MEC service can register in the whole network and has a unique identifier of the whole network so as to represent each corresponding MEC service; and the identifiers may be determined uniformly by the operator or by the service provider according to certain rules.
In the actual implementation process, the information of the "MEC function identifier and the supported MEC service identifier list" has no specific precedence relationship with the transmission timing sequence of other signaling and data, and can be determined according to the specific implementation of a manufacturer, which is not specifically limited by the present invention.
In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an MEC service prompting method, as shown in fig. 6, including:
s201, acquiring mark information of an MEC service contained in a received MEC service data packet, wherein the mark information of the MEC service is used for indicating the MEC service supported by a local service platform connected with MEC equipment in a local network;
s202, when the fact that the client of the MEC service corresponding to the identification information of the MEC service is installed in the local terminal is determined, displaying the prompt information used for indicating that the MEC service can be used.
The embodiment of the invention provides an MEC service prompting method, wherein after an MEC service data packet is received, MEC service identification information in the MEC service data packet can be matched with a locally installed MEC service client. When the corresponding client is determined to be installed in the local terminal, the prompting information that the MEC service can be used can be displayed, so that a user can timely know that the MEC service can be used in the local terminal, and the MEC experience of the user is improved.
In practical applications, the method embodiment of the second aspect may be executed on the terminal side. The terminal may be a smart phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a vehicle-mounted computer (carputter), a handheld game console, smart glasses, a smart watch, a wearable device, a virtual display device or a display enhancement device (such as Google Glass, accumus Rift, Hololens, Gear VR) handheld device, and the like, and may also be a device inside a vehicle, which is not particularly limited in this respect, and these devices may communicate with a base station corresponding to a cell in which the terminal is currently located.
In a specific implementation, an optional implementation manner of step S201 here may specifically be: and receiving the MEC service data packet, analyzing the data packet according to a preset data packet composition rule, acquiring each field information in the data packet, and acquiring the specific condition of the MEC service in the local network according to the definition of different field information. For example, the received MEC service packet may include "MEC information packet identifier", "MEC function identifier", "list of supported MEC service identifiers", and other fields, etc. as described above. After the data packet is analyzed, the data packet can be known to be a data packet for transmitting the information of the MEC service of the local network, and whether the current network supports the MEC function, which MEC services are supported and the unique identifier of the whole network corresponding to each MEC service supported can be known. The network-wide unique identifiers corresponding to all the MEC services can be uniformly displayed in a service identification list.
Accordingly, an optional implementation manner of step S202 herein is: and searching whether a client corresponding to the identifier in the list exists in the locally installed clients or not according to the analyzed service representation list, and if the client corresponding to the identifier in the list exists, displaying usable prompt information of the MEC service to a user. For example, the MEC service identified as "a" is listed in the list, at this time, whether the client corresponding to the "a" service is installed in the local terminal may be searched, and if the client corresponding to the "a" service is installed in the local terminal, the availability of the "a" service may be prompted to the user. If the corresponding client is not found, the corresponding client can be prompted to be used for the MEC service which can not be used currently.
It should be noted that since the MEC device is not widely used yet, some terminals may not have any MEC service client installed, and such terminals may be considered as non-MEC service terminals. After the terminal receives the data packet, the data packet can be directly ignored, so that the condition that the use of a user is influenced by the transmitted data packet which is meaningless disturbing on the terminal is avoided.
In specific implementation, the prompt information used for indicating that the MEC service is available and shown in step S202 may be implemented in a variety of ways, where several optional implementations are as follows: making the background color of the client icon of the MEC service more prominent than other client icons, e.g., setting the background color of the client icon of the MEC service to highlight; and/or, adding a corner mark available for the business in a client icon of the MEC business. Of course, other prompting manners may also be adopted, for example, a pop-up window is included, the pop-up window includes a list of the MEC services that can be currently used, and the present invention is not limited in this respect.
In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an MEC service prompting apparatus, which may be applied to an MEC device or a network device connecting the MEC device, a base station, and a local service platform, as shown in fig. 7, and may include:
a service acquisition module 301 configured to acquire identification information of MEC services supported by each local service platform connected to the MEC device in the local network;

or, sending an MEC service data packet to a corresponding terminal in a signaling manner through a control channel of the bearer link;

In specific implementation, the service acquisition module 301 is further configured to determine whether the local network supports the MEC service;
correspondingly, the MEC service data packet further includes an MEC function identifier, where the MEC function identifier is used to indicate whether the local network supports the MEC function.
