为AI服务设计网络级调度机制,实现自动匹配与可靠执行
AI-Paging: Lease-Based Execution Anchoring for Network-Exposed AI-as-a-Service
- 通过意向匹配自动选择合适AI模型实例
- 租约授权确保服务迁移时无中断,支持动态网络环境
- 兼容现有3GPP架构,适合6G网络中的AI服务部署
随着AI即服务(AIaaS)在多提供商和多模型层级间部署,运行时模型实例的选择已超出终端用户的掌控。未来6G服务提供商需在用户仅提交意图的情况下,协助完成意图到模型的匹配与执行位置分配,满足策略、信任和服务质量(QoS)约束。本文提出AI-Paging机制:网络在控制面将用户意图解析为AI服务身份(AISI)、作用域会话令牌(AIST)和过期租约(COMMIT),授权用户面转向选定的AI执行锚点(AEXF),并绑定QoS。该机制保障两个不变性:(i)租约门控引导(无COMMIT则不安装引导状态),(ii)先建立后切换的锚定策略,以保证服务连续性与可靠性。我们基于现有控制面与用户面技术(服务化控制、QoS流、策略导向引导)实现原型,无需新增报文头,兼容3GPP现有暴露与管理架构,并评估了事务延迟、重定位中断、租约到期时的强制正确性及移动性与故障下的审计证据开销。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) now deployed across multiple providers and model tiers, selecting the appropriate model instance at run time is increasingly outside the end user's knowledge and operational control. Accordingly, the 6G service providers are envisioned to play a crucial role in exposing AIaaS in a setting where users submit only an intent while the network helps in the intent-to-model matching (resolution) and execution placement under policy, trust, and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The network role becomes to discover candidate execution endpoints and selects a suitable model/anchor under policy and QoS constraints in a process referred here to as AI-paging (by analogy to cellular call paging). In the proposed architecture, AI-paging is a control-plane transaction that resolves an intent into an AI service identity (AISI), a scoped session token (AIST), and an expiring admission lease (COMMIT) that authorizes user-plane steering to a selected AI execution anchor (AEXF) under a QoS binding. AI-Paging enforces two invariants: (i) lease-gated steering (without COMMIT, no steering state is installed) and (ii) make-before-break anchoring to support continuity and reliability of AIaaS services under dynamic network conditions. We prototype AI-Paging using existing control- and user-plane mechanisms (service-based control, QoS flows, and policy-based steering) with no new packet headers, ensuring compatibility with existing 3GPP-based exposure and management architectures, and evaluate transaction latency, relocation interruption, enforcement correctness under lease expiry, and audit-evidence overhead under mobility and failures.
