Network Nodes and Methods Therein for Facilitating Application Context Relocation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187494 titled 'Network Nodes and Methods Therein for Facilitating Application Context Relocation
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method in a source edge application server (EAS) for discovering and selecting target edge application servers (EASs) through communication with a source edge enabler server (EES).
- Transmitting a request for EAS discovery to a source EES
- Receiving a response from the source EES containing information about discovered EASs
- Determining or selecting one of the discovered EASs as a target EAS
- Transmitting information indicating the selected target EAS back to the source EES
Potential Applications: - Edge computing - Network optimization - IoT device management
Problems Solved: - Efficient discovery and selection of edge application servers - Streamlining communication between source and target EASs
Benefits: - Improved performance in edge computing environments - Enhanced network efficiency - Simplified IoT device management
Potential Commercial Applications: - Telecommunications industry - Cloud service providers - IoT solution providers
Possible Prior Art: - Existing methods for server discovery and selection in network environments
Unanswered Questions:
1. How does this method handle scalability issues in large-scale edge computing environments? 2. What security measures are in place to protect the communication between EASs and EESs?
Frequently Updated Research: - Currently, there is ongoing research on optimizing edge computing architectures for improved performance and scalability.
