US 2024/0195867 A1 · INTELLIGENT CLOUD-EDGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for intelligent cloud-edge resource management. An end device may provide edge nodes of an edge computing system with network link information, which may enable the edge nodes to schedule and distribute task workloads more effectively, providing greater performance, power, security, and mission-critical network availability. For example, if the end device transmits a processing task request to a first edge node, the first edge node may assign the processing task to a second edge node according to the network link information. Additionally, or alternatively, the end device may transmit an indication of processing task parameters to one or more edge nodes and may receive an indication of an estimated completion time of the processing task from the one or more edge nodes. Accordingly, the end device may assign the processing task to an edge node with the lowest completion time.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for edge compute resource orchestration of end device processing tasks at a first edge node, comprising:

one or more interfaces configured to:
obtain, from an end device, network link information associated with one or more wireless communication links between the end device and one or more edge nodes;
obtain, from the end device, a request associated with a processing task, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters associated with the processing task;
and
output, to a second edge node of the one or more edge nodes, an indication of an assignment of the processing task to the second edge node in accordance with the network link information and the one or more parameters associated with the processing task.
