CONTEXT TRANSFER METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482820 titled 'CONTEXT TRANSFER METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a method and apparatus for transferring context and enabling communication between edge enabler servers and edge application servers. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- When a context transfer fails between two edge enabler servers, a first apparatus sends information to a corresponding first edge application server.
- The first edge application server uses this information to subscribe to capability exposure information from the first edge enabler server.
- If a context transfer fails, the first apparatus can indicate a target edge application server to subscribe to capability exposure information from a target edge enabler server.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Internet of Things (IoT) systems: This technology can be used to transfer context and enable communication between IoT devices and servers, improving the efficiency and reliability of IoT systems.
- Edge computing: By facilitating context transfer and communication between edge enabler servers and edge application servers, this technology can enhance the performance and responsiveness of edge computing systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Context transfer failure: The method and apparatus described in this patent application address the issue of context transfer failure between edge enabler servers, ensuring that the necessary information is still accessible to the edge application servers.
- Communication breakdown: By enabling the first apparatus to indicate a target edge application server, this technology helps overcome communication breakdowns between different components of the system.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved system reliability: By providing a method for handling context transfer failures, this technology enhances the reliability of edge computing and IoT systems.
- Enhanced performance: The ability to subscribe to capability exposure information from different edge enabler servers allows edge application servers to access the necessary resources and services, leading to improved performance and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a context transfer method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: When an edge enabler client context fails to be relocated from a second edge enabler server to a first edge enabler server, a first apparatus sends first information to a first edge application server corresponding to the first edge enabler server, where the first information is used by the first edge application server to subscribe to edge enabler server capability exposure information from the first edge enabler server. In the foregoing technical solution, when an edge enabler client context fails to be transferred, the first apparatus may indicate a target edge application server to subscribe to edge enabler server capability exposure information from a target edge enabler server.
