Application: Intent-based network computing job assignment (Patent ID: US20240129195A1)
The patent by NEC Corp introduces an intent-based computing job assignment framework for efficiently handling clients' job requests in mobile edge computing. The framework optimizes virtual topology design and mapping to minimize bandwidth consumption using Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and a modified Steiner tree-based heuristic algorithm. The simulations demonstrate that the heuristic algorithm achieves close to optimal performance compared to the ILP solution.
The computer-implemented method outlined in the claims involves enumerating candidate virtual nodes for each job request, constructing augmented graphs, and Steiner trees to map virtual nodes. The method selects virtual topologies with minimal bandwidth consumption based on the computing model in the request. The augmented graph construction involves establishing links with physical nodes within a certain range from the network access point. The claims also specify the use of modified Steiner trees and the ability to reconfigure job requests for efficient computing job assignment.
