CLOUD-NETWORK INTEGRATION ORIENTED MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031427 titled 'CLOUD-NETWORK INTEGRATION ORIENTED MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

Simplified Explanation

The present application discloses a cloud-network integration (CNI) oriented multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture.

  • The architecture includes multiple edge computing nodes in the access network (AN) side.
  • The physical channel of the AN side is divided into multiple subchannels, each supporting a media access control (MAC) access mode.
  • A software-defined network (SDN) controller is included in the architecture.
  • The SDN controller is configured to allocate resources of the subchannels at a physical layer and protocols at an MAC layer.
  • The SDN controller also controls offloading at the edge computing nodes or a cloud center by a terminal user.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved computation offloading: The architecture allows for more effective computation offloading from edge computing nodes to a cloud center, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
  • Service enhancement: The fine-grained control and cooperative management of network resources and computing resources enable better service delivery and enhancement.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Resource allocation: The architecture solves the problem of efficient allocation of resources in a multi-access edge computing environment, ensuring optimal utilization of network and computing resources.
  • Computation offloading: The architecture addresses the challenge of effectively offloading computations from edge computing nodes to a cloud center, improving system performance and reducing latency.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: The architecture enables more effective computation offloading and resource allocation, leading to enhanced system performance and user experience.
  • Efficient resource utilization: The fine-grained control and cooperative management of network and computing resources ensure optimal utilization, reducing wastage and improving efficiency.
