Application: Managing task offloading to edge servers in a multi-access edge computing, mec, system (Patent ID: US20230401094A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes a method for managing task offloading to edge servers in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system. The method involves a task broker at the host management level receiving task offloading requests from UE applications, analyzing resource requirements, and using a forecasting mechanism to determine if the request will be dropped by the system management level. Based on this determination, the task broker either rejects or provisionally admits the task offloading request. The system also includes features such as relaying requests to the system management level, providing tokens to UE applications for future interactions, and proactive resource reservation for repetitive requests.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims detailing additional aspects of the method, such as the task broker being co-located with an edge server, handling repetitive task offloading requests, and interacting with an Offloading Management Service (OMS) for training a learning algorithm. The system described in the patent includes the task broker implemented at the host management level, capable of receiving and analyzing task offloading requests, running a forecasting mechanism, and making decisions based on the forecast. The system also involves features like proactive resource reservation, interaction with OMS for labeling active applications, and utilizing a learning algorithm for decision-making. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method and system for efficient task offloading management in MEC systems.
