SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC EDGE DISCOVERY IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933158 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC EDGE DISCOVERY IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The system described in the abstract is a technique for managing communication sessions for User Equipment (UE) within a network of edge devices. The system identifies locator information for an edge discovery system that helps route service requests to the appropriate edge device. The UE communicates with the edge discovery system using the locator information to request services and receive responses from the edge devices.

  • The system manages communication sessions for User Equipment (UE) within a network of edge devices.
  • It identifies locator information for an edge discovery system that routes service requests to the appropriate edge device.
  • The UE communicates with the edge discovery system using the locator information to request services and receive responses from the edge devices.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of edge computing technologies to optimize service delivery within a network of devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle edge device failures within the network?

The abstract does not provide information on how the system manages edge device failures and ensures continuous service delivery to User Equipment.

What security measures are in place to protect the communication sessions and service requests within the network?

The abstract does not mention any security measures implemented to safeguard the communication sessions and service requests exchanged between the User Equipment and the edge devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system described herein may provide a technique for receiving a communication session request associated with a particular User Equipment (“UE”). The system may identify locator information associated with an edge discovery system associated with a network that includes a plurality of edge devices, wherein the edge discovery system receives service requests associated with one or more UEs and provides an indication of a respective edge device of the plurality of edge device in response to respective service requests. The system may output, in response to the communication session request, the locator information associated with the edge discovery system, wherein the particular UE communicates with the edge discovery system using the locator information to output a particular service request and receive, from the edge discovery system, an indication of a particular edge device of the plurality of edge devices in response to the particular service request.
