METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN AN EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM AND A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR PROVIDING EDGE COMPUTING SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355687 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN AN EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM AND A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR PROVIDING EDGE COMPUTING SERVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method in a mobile edge computing system for controlling the relocation of an application context in a 5G or pre-5G communication system.
- The method involves subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS).
- If the user plane path change event occurs, an application context relocation (ACR) is determined based on a notification from the mobile communication network.
- An ACR request message is transmitted to the EAS.
- The EAS responds with an EAS response message.
- An application function (AF) acknowledgment message is transmitted to the mobile communication network in response to the EAS response message.
The innovation in this patent application is a control method for managing the relocation of an application context in a mobile edge computing system, specifically in a 5G or pre-5G communication system. This method allows for efficient handling of user plane path changes and ensures smooth communication between the edge enabler server (EES), edge application server (EAS), and the mobile communication network.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a control method in an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing system, and may include subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS); determining an application context relocation (ACR) based on receiving a user plane path management event notification from the mobile communication network in case of subscribing to the user plane path change event for the EAS; transmitting an ACR request message to the EAS; receiving an EAS response message from the EAS; and transmitting an application function (AF) acknowledgment message to a first node of the mobile communication network in response to receiving the EAS response message from the EAS.
