COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163198 titled 'COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The communication system described in the abstract includes two edge clouds deploying groups of user service nodes (USNs) that form hash rings corresponding to each edge cloud. The USNs provide services for terminal devices, and a mapping system with distributed mapping nodes stores information about the USNs and their corresponding terminal devices.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Communication system with two edge clouds deploying USNs - USNs provide services for terminal devices - Mapping system with distributed mapping nodes storing information about USNs and terminal devices - Hash rings corresponding to edge clouds and mapping system
Potential applications of this technology: - Edge computing networks - IoT devices communication - Content delivery networks
Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient routing of services in edge computing environments - Scalability of communication systems - Reliable mapping of USNs to terminal devices
Benefits of this technology: - Improved performance in edge computing networks - Enhanced reliability in communication systems - Scalability for growing networks
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Telecommunications companies - Cloud service providers - IoT device manufacturers
Possible prior art: - Distributed mapping systems in cloud computing - Hash ring structures for data distribution
Questions: 1. How does this communication system handle network failures or node outages? 2. What security measures are in place to protect the mapping system and user data?
Original Abstract Submitted
a communication system, method, and apparatus are provided. the communication system includes a first edge cloud deploying first group of user service nodes (usns) that form a hash ring corresponding to the first edge cloud and a second edge cloud deploying a second group of usns that form a hash ring corresponding to the second edge cloud. a usn is configured to provide a service for a terminal device corresponding to the usn. the communication system may further include a mapping system including one or more distributed mapping nodes that store information about the usns on the first and second edge cloud. the information about a usn includes identification information of the usn and identification information of the terminal device corresponding to the usn. when the mapping system includes a plurality of distributed mapping nodes, the mapping nodes form one or more hash rings corresponding to the mapping system.
