Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) Application Instance Registration - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320066 titled 'Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) Application Instance Registration
The present application relates to improved methods of application instance registration in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system.
- Receiving a registration request for a first application instance at a MEC platform device.
- Determining that the first application instance is not presently registered.
- Allocating a registration identifier for the first application instance.
- Transmitting the registration identifier to the first application instance.
- Sending a registration notification to a MEC system-level management device.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing the efficiency of application instance registration in MEC systems. - Improving the overall management of application instances in edge computing environments.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the registration process for application instances. - Ensuring accurate tracking and monitoring of application instances in MEC systems.
Benefits: - Increased operational efficiency in MEC systems. - Enhanced security and control over application instance registration. - Improved resource allocation and management in edge computing environments.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Application Instance Registration System for MEC Platforms This technology could be utilized by telecommunications companies, cloud service providers, and IoT companies to optimize their edge computing operations and enhance the performance of their applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this innovation impact the overall performance of MEC systems? - This innovation improves the efficiency and accuracy of application instance registration, leading to better resource management and overall system performance in MEC environments.
2. What are the key advantages of using this method for application instance registration in edge computing? - The method ensures timely and secure registration of application instances, enabling better control and monitoring of resources in MEC systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present application relates to improved methods of application instance registration in a multi-access edge computing (mec) system, comprising, e.g.: receiving, at a mec platform device, a registration request for a first application instance; determining, by the mec platform device, that the first application instance is not presently registered; in response to determining that the first application instance is not presently registered, allocating, by the mec platform device, a first application instance registration identifier for the first application instance; transmitting, by the mec platform device, the first application instance registration identifier to the first application instance; and causing, by the mec platform device, a first application instance registration notification to be sent to a mec system-level management device. according to some aspects, the mec platform device may first send a permission request to a mec system-level management device to request permission to be able to register the first application instance.
