Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system and device for content delivery network (CDN) scheduling, and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring CDN data in real time from a CDN node device to generate a CDN index system; acquiring metropolitan area network, MAN, data in real time from a MAN to generate a MAN index system; generating a CDN node load intelligent image based on the CDN index system, and generating an intra-region scheduling algorithm through artificial intelligence, AI, training and algorithm optimization; generating a CDN region load intelligent image based on the CDN index system and the MAN index system, and generating an inter-region scheduling algorithm through the AI training and the algorithm optimization; and determining a CDN scheduling policy according to the intra-region scheduling algorithm and the inter-region scheduling algorithm, and executing the CDN scheduling policy.

The disclosure provides a system, computer readable medium, and computer-implemented method for managing data access. The method includes obtaining a data access request from a requestor for client data redundantly stored in at least two storage providers that are unknown to the requestor; identifying a service level objective for servicing the data access request; ranking the at least two storage providers based on the service level objective to identify one of the at least two storage providers to service the data access request; and providing the requestor with access to a copy of the client data using the one of the at least two storage providers.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for allocating network capacity over a communication channel of a network. The systems and methods determine a transmission profile for each of a plurality of service flow types. The systems and methods then iteratively perform the following steps for allocating network capacity: selecting, for each service flow type, the network capacity allocation parameters in each service flow type's transmission profile associated with a current network capacity allocation cycle; determining amounts of data to transmit for each of the plurality of service flow types based at least in part on the selected network capacity allocation parameters; and transmitting, over the communication channel, the determined amounts for each of the plurality of service flow types for the current network capacity allocation cycle.

This application provides a network connection configuration method and an apparatus. The method is as follows: After a terminal device obtains network configuration information of an application in the terminal device, the terminal device sends the network configuration information to a core network control plane network element, so that the core network control plane network element may determine a network connection that is of the application and is between the terminal device and the data network and that meets the network configuration information.

A system, method and architecture for network-assisted scanning of a surrounding environment. In one example arrangement, the system is operative for receiving real world object identification and spatial mapping data relative to a plurality of real world scenarios sensed by sensing points, each operating as a collection agent configured to collect environmental data in association with a plurality of sensors. The data may be prioritized responsive to at least one of a determination of RAN resource capacity available to the collection agent, e.g., compute resources, storage resources, radio transmission resources, cost of the transmission capacity available to the collection agent, etc. in view of urgency/relevance of the data. Responsive to prioritizing the environmental data, one or more pieces of the environmental data may be transmitted to a nearest edge compute location and/or a cloud-based datacenter network node.

A method for communicating a data packet, the method includes receiving a data packet that supports a packet wash operation. The method determines whether the data packet can be forwarded along a network path towards a destination node without any modification. If the data packet cannot be forwarded along the network path towards the destination node without modification, the method determines whether conditions are met for performing the packet wash operation on the data packet. If the conditions are met, the packet wash operation is performed to generate a washed data packet. The packet wash operation generates the washed data packet by modifying a size of a payload of the data packet based on a packet wash specification that associates attributes to a plurality of data payload portions of the payload of the data packet. The washed data packet is forwarded along the network path towards the destination node.
