SERVER, REQUESTING ENTITY, AND METHODS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275936 titled 'SERVER, REQUESTING ENTITY, AND METHODS THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a system where a first server attempts to identify a second server in an edge data network based on certain criteria. If the second server cannot be identified or is unavailable, the first server looks for alternative servers to connect to.
- The innovation involves a first server attempting to connect to a second server in an edge data network.
- If the second server is not available, the first server looks for alternative servers to establish a connection.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in edge computing networks to ensure reliable connections between servers and requesting entities.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of failing to identify preferred edge servers for User Equipment (UE) in a network.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved connectivity and reliability in edge data networks, ensuring seamless service provision to requesting entities.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in telecommunications networks to enhance server connectivity and service delivery.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar systems used in cloud computing networks to optimize server connections and resource allocation.
Unanswered Questions
The system may have a specific algorithm or criteria for selecting alternative servers, but this is not detailed in the abstract.
What impact does the use of alternative servers have on the overall performance of the edge data network?
It is not clear from the abstract how the use of alternative servers affects the performance metrics of the edge data network.
Original Abstract Submitted
In response to receiving from a requesting entity () a request for a connection to an entity providing a service in an edge data network (), a first server () attempts to identify a second server () located in the edge data network () based on at least one selection criterion. If the second server () cannot be identified or is not available, the first server () identifies a second alternative server that is different from the second server, or identify a first alternative server that substitutes for the first server () for attempting to identify the second server. This can contribute, for example, to mitigating the impact of failing to discover one or more preferred edge servers for a User Equipment (UE).
