    Abstract: A method of implementing a computing service on edge nodes of a communication network, where the computing service is made from a plurality of service functions, each of which is connected to another service function by a communication routine. Service functions and routines can be deployed on edge nodes and communication between any two service functions can be performed via a routine and a privacy router, with coordination from a routine manager. Service functions and routines can be grouped into tasks, which can be coordinated with task managers. Tasks can be grouped into works, which can be coordinated with work managers. Because a privacy router can perform encryption on routine communications, any of the entities implementing the computing service can be deployed on edge nodes of a communication network, and a service manager can interface with external entities.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a central unit, a remote unit, a small cell system, and a communication method. A digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) module and an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) module are disposed in the central unit, so that the central unit transmits an analog optical signal to the remote unit. When the central unit transmits the analog optical signal to a plurality of remote units, because a processing delay of an analog component in analog transmission is usually at a nanosecond level, and a total delay formed by a path transmission delay and the processing delay fluctuates slightly or even is fixed, synchronization of the plurality of remote units can be easily implemented in the central unit through calibration. Therefore, it is possible to easily implement a distributed MIMO function.

    Abstract: Methods and system for supporting traffic steering through a service function chain, the service function chain comprising at least one data processing function. An aspect of the disclosure provides for a method for steering traffic of a packet data unit (PDU) performed by a session management function. The method includes receiving PCC rules from a policy control function, the PCC rules including information comprising at least one of service function chain information; final delivery indication; and selective traffic steering information and associated parameters. The method further includes configuring at least one user plane function (UPF) according to the information. In some embodiments the configuring the at least one UPF includes instructing a first UPF to detect traffic according to the packet detection rules and route the received packet according to the forwarding action rules.

    Abstract: There is provided methods, systems and apparatuses for management of network functions. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a processor and a non-transient memory for storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to be configured to perform a method including steps as follows. The apparatus is configured to perform steps including sending, towards a source network exposure function (S-NEF) associated with a user equipment (UE), an event notification and obtaining, information on a target network exposure function (T-NEF) to be associated with the UE, and sending towards the S-NEF an event subscription update notification indicative of a change of destination for subsequent event notifications. The apparatus is further configured to perform steps including receiving, from the S-NEF, an event subscription update notification acknowledgement indicative of acceptance of the change and sending, towards the T-NEF, the subsequent event notifications.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a data transmission method and a communication apparatus. The method may be applied to a data transmission or data distribution scenario in a peer-to-peer P2P network. The method includes: A first end node sends delayed transmission information to a second end node, where the delayed transmission information indicates time information at which the first end node delays sending first data to the second end node. When determining that the second end node accepts the delayed transmission information, the first end node delays sending the first data to the second end node, to alleviate a load of the first end node, so that a network congestion problem caused by a large-scale concurrent data request can be resolved.

    Abstract: There is provided a system including a platform controller for managing artificial intelligence services, wherein the system includes a processor coupled with a memory, having stored thereon instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, configure the platform controller to receive an artificial intelligence (AI) service registration request from an AI controller controlling the AI service, the AI service registration request including information indicative of locations of the AI service and transmit an AI service registration response to the AI controller, the AI service registration response including routing information at least in part specifying how to reach a coordinator associated with the AI service, the coordinator corresponding to a location of the AI service and transmit a notification indicative of availability of the AI service to a device. When a request for access to the AI service is received from the device, the platform controller is configured to transmit a response to the device, wherein the response is indicative of whether the request is accepted.
