A method obtains service request information identifying computing device nodes invoked by users. Based on the service request information, sets of computing device nodes are identified, each set of computing device nodes includes computing device nodes invoked simultaneously or sequentially by one of the users. Communities are further identified based on a probability measure that is a measure of a probability of co-occurrence of two sets of computing device nodes. Each community has sets of computing device nodes each having the probability measure over a probability threshold in relation to at least one other set of computing device nodes in the community. Solutions are predicted for provision of services of the sets of computing device nodes of the communities. Each predicted solution for provision of services relates to a community and is determined based on shared knowledge of predicted solutions for provision of services relating to other communities.

The present disclosure provides a method in a first network entity for service Application Programming Interface, API, publishing. The method includes: receiving, from a second network entity, an API publish request for publishing a service API, the API publish request containing a list of identifiers of network entities that have published the service API; and transmitting, when an identifier of the first network entity is included in the list, an API publish response indicating failure of publishing of the service API to the second network entity, without creating a new resource for the service API at the first network entity or further publishing the service API to any network entity.

This application provides a microservice call method. The method includes: A network interface card receives service call requests separately generated by a plurality of first services deployed on a first device, where each of the plurality of first services is corresponding to one second service, and the second service is used to process first data of a service call request generated by the first service corresponding to the second service; and the network interface card sends the service call request to the second service based on service governance logic related to the first data. In this way, a problem that contention of a plurality of proxies for a system resource causes process context switching and further causes a sharp increase in a service delay is resolved, and application performance is improved.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for controlling a device in the Internet of Things, and a gateway device and a storage medium, which relate to the technical field of the Internet of Things. The method comprises: acquiring remote access attribute information of all resource links, wherein the remote access attribute information is used for indicating whether a corresponding resource link is allowed to be remotely accessed; when there is a first resource link, remote access attribute information corresponding to the first resource link indicates that the first resource link is allowed to be remotely accessed, and an operation request sent by a client device on the basis of the first resource link is received, triggering a server device to execute a functional operation corresponding to the first resource link.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first edge application server (EAS) discovery message from an application client that is external to the UE. The UE may transmit a second EAS discovery message to an edge enabler server (EES) based at least in part on the first EAS discovery message. The UE may receive, from the EES, an EAS response message. The EAS response message may indicate a failure of a discovery request associated with the application client or the EAS response message may indicate an EAS associated with the application client. The UE may transmit an indication of the failure of the discovery request or an indication of the EAS to the application client. Numerous other aspects are described.

A wireless communication network to serve a User Equipment (UE) over Network Exposure Functions (NEFs) that have Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In the wireless communication network, a NEF Interface Function (NIF) receives a NEF request from a network function. The NIF correlates the NEF request with one of the APIs. The NIF selects one of the NEFs based on the one of the APIs. The NIF translates the NEF request into an API call based on the one of the APIs. The NIF transfers the API call to the one of the NEFs. The one of the NEFs receive the API call and responsively performs a network task for the UE based on the API call.

Techniques for federated service registries are provided. A first access server determines a first plurality of services available within a local network associated with the first access server, as well as a second plurality of services available at one or more remote networks. A request for a first service is received from a client device, where the first service is not included in the first plurality of services and is included in the second plurality of services. A tunnel is established from the client device to one or more remote networks.

A method for processing NF discovery requests using prioritized lists of preferred locations includes maintaining an NF profiles database including NF profiles of producer NFs registered to provide service to other NFs and a preferred locality attribute mappings database including mappings between preferred locality attributes and prioritized lists of preferred locations. The method includes receiving, from an NF, an NF discovery request including query parameters and a preferred locality attribute. The method further includes accessing the preferred locality attribute mappings database using the preferred locality attribute and obtaining a prioritized list of preferred locations corresponding to the preferred locality attribute, accessing the NF profiles database using the query parameters and identifying NF profiles of producer NFs capable of providing a service indicated by the query parameters, and prioritizing the NF profiles according to the prioritized list of preferred locations. An NF discovery response is generated and transmitted to the NF.
