VERTICAL APPLICATION IN EDGE COMPUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298286 titled 'VERTICAL APPLICATION IN EDGE COMPUTING

The abstract discusses a method for vertical application in edge computing, involving the interaction between an edge enabler server (EES) and an edge application server (EAS) in an edge data network (EDN).

  • The method includes receiving a registration request message from the EAS, containing information about associated EAS information.
  • Based on this information, the user equipment (UE) performs joint EAS discovery and selection for vertical application in an edge deployment.
  • This allows both the application enabler client in the UE and the application-specific server to communicate with the same application enabler server.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and smart cities for efficient edge computing solutions. - It can enhance the performance of IoT devices by enabling seamless communication between different network functions.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of discovering and selecting edge applications in a vertical deployment. - Facilitates communication between application enabler clients and application-specific servers in the UE.

Benefits: - Improved efficiency and performance in edge computing environments. - Enhanced user experience through seamless communication between different network functions.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and cloud service providers to optimize edge computing solutions for their customers.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this method improve the overall performance of edge computing systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using joint EAS discovery and selection for vertical applications in an edge deployment?


Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosure herein relate to vertical application in edge computing. a method performed by a first network function implementing edge enabler server (ees) in an edge data network (edn). the method comprises receiving, from a second network function implementing edge application server (eas) in the edn, a registration request message comprising information indicating a first list of associated eas information. based on the associated eas information, the ue performs a joint eas discovery and selection for vertical application in an edge deployment, thus both application enabler client in the ue and application specific server communicates with the same application enabler server.
