METHOD FOR DETERMINING MEC ACCESS POINT AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18344598 Titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING MEC ACCESS POINT AND APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method for accessing a multi-access edge computing (MEC) access point. The method involves obtaining the closest MEC access point based on network topology information and sending its identifier to a session management network element. This identifier is then used by the terminals to access the MEC access point.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes obtaining a first multi-access edge computing (MEC) access point to be accessed by terminals in a terminal group of a first service. The first MEC access point is obtained based on network topology information of MEC access points that are respectively closest to the terminals and that support the first service. The network topology information indicates at least one of whether at least two MEC access points are connected or performance of a link between at least two MEC access points. The terminal group includes one or more of a terminal requesting the first service or a terminal subscribing to the first service. The method also includes sending an identifier of the first MEC access point to a session management network element that controls the terminals. The identifier of the first MEC access point is used by the terminals to access the first MEC access point.
