Frequently Asked Questions
Q: As the core resource scheduling architecture, how does Cloud-Edge Collaboration collaborate with Edge AI and Real-Time Communication to support the core needs of Edge Computing and Cloud Gaming? Where are its technical advantages reflected?
A: With "edge processing + cloud management" at its core, Cloud-Edge Collaboration provides foundational support for the two core capabilities, solidifying the service foundation of ECM. Firstly, through its resource scheduling mechanisms, Cloud-Edge Collaboration deeply integrates the localized processing capabilities of Edge AI with the transmission requirements of Real-Time Communication. Edge nodes process AI analysis tasks (e.g., real-time beautification, content moderation) in audio-video streams locally, while the cloud simultaneously manages AI model updates and task scheduling. This also provides edge computational power allocation and cloud resource backup for Cloud Gaming, ensuring operational stability. Secondly, it empowers Cloud Gaming to deliver low-latency, high-quality experiences. Cloud-Edge Collaboration enables core computational demands like game rendering to be completed at edge nodes, reducing transmission delays. Edge AI can assist in optimizing game graphics adaptation and user interaction responsiveness, while the high-bandwidth transmission technology of Real-Time Communication ensures smooth synchronization of game audio and visuals, fully leveraging the computational advantages of Edge Computing. The technical advantages are reflected in two aspects: First, "low latency + high collaboration"—the distributed architecture of Cloud-Edge Collaboration shortens data transmission paths, and the collaborative processing of Edge AI and Real-Time Communication enhances business responsiveness, supporting immersive experiences in Cloud Gaming.

Their synergy with Edge Computing and Cloud-Edge Collaboration significantly enhances competitiveness. Edge Computing provides computational power and bandwidth support near users for both, significantly reducing transmission latency and ensuring the smoothness of Real-Time Communication and the responsiveness of Cloud Gaming. Cloud-Edge Collaboration enables coordination between edge nodes and cloud resources: Real-Time Communication can leverage the cloud for large-scale live streaming distribution, while Cloud Gaming can use the cloud for account management, game updates, and edge computational power scheduling. Meanwhile, the distributed deployment of Edge Computing extends service coverage to broader regions. Combined with the intelligent scheduling of Cloud-Edge Collaboration, it achieves "nearby access + optimal computational power allocation," enabling users in different regions to enjoy high-quality services. This combination of "low-latency transmission + high-performance computational power + cloud collaboration + scenario adaptation" gives ECM stronger market competitiveness.
Q: How does Edge AI address the pain points of intelligent processing in Edge Computing? What gains does its synergy with ECM and Edge Computing bring to Cloud-Edge Collaboration and Real-Time Communication?
A: The core value of Edge AI lies in "localized intelligence + real-time response," solving the pain points of traditional Edge Computing such as "limited to simple transmission and lacking intelligent processing capabilities." By deploying lightweight AI models at edge nodes, it enables localized real-time data analysis and decision-making, completing intelligent processing without transmitting data to the cloud. Its synergy with the two core capabilities brings significant gains to scenario-based services. Collaborating with ECM and Edge Computing, Edge AI can be deeply integrated into the Cloud-Edge Collaboration architecture: the cloud is responsible for AI model training and updates, while the edge handles localized inference, achieving efficient "cloud training, edge inference" collaboration. It also provides intelligent enhancement capabilities for Real-Time Communication scenarios. For Cloud-Edge Collaboration, Edge AI's localized processing reduces the amount of data transmitted between the edge and the cloud, improving resource utilization efficiency. Additionally, the intelligent analytics capabilities of AI can assist Cloud-Edge Collaboration in more precise resource scheduling, such as dynamically adjusting edge computational power based on audio-video traffic peaks. For Real-Time Communication, Edge AI enables localized processing such as real-time beautification, noise suppression, and content moderation, reducing transmission latency and bandwidth consumption. Combined with the low-latency characteristics of Edge Computing, it enhances the fluidity of audio-video interactive experiences. Moreover, the adaptive optimization capabilities of Edge AI can adjust audio-video parameters based on network conditions, further strengthening the stability of Real-Time Communication. This synergy makes the scheduling of Cloud-Edge Collaboration more intelligent, enhances the quality of Real-Time Communication experiences, and makes ECM's Edge Computing platform better adapted to the needs of intelligent edge business.
