摘要： A method of managing user equipment (UE) access to a particular application in a telecommunication network, the network serving the UE from a first application server instance. The network detects the UE’s presence within an overlapping region of coverage (e.g. by geolocation of the UE) between a coverage area of the first application server and a coverage area of a second application server. As a result, the network establishes a duplicate of the UE’s application user context at the second application server instance. The first and second application servers may be associated with the same multi-access edge computing (MEC) network. The method may comprise invoking a traffic rule whereby data traffic is steered to both first and second application servers such that the UE’s application user context can be maintained at both first and second application server instances. The application server instances’ responses may be compared to check if synchronisation is being maintained.

摘要： A method of operating a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) network comprises instantiating a first application in the MEC system when a first entity (e.g. Operational Support System, OSS) sends an application instantiation request to a second entity (e.g. a MEC Orchestrator, MEO), wherein the request comprises pre-emption information concerning the first application, the pre-emption information being used to pre-empt the first application in the future, if required, by changing its operational state or by removing it. The second entity may decide to pre-empt the first application in the event that a request to instantiate a second application is received and there are insufficient resources available in the MEC system, or if a conflict prohibits the first and second applications from running concurrently. If sufficient resources cannot be made available by pre-empting the first application then the second application may not be instantiated. An application instantiation request may have an expiry time and if it is not initially fulfilled then it may be re-assessed if the time has not elapsed. The invention addresses the problem of how to ensure desired applications are made available to subscribers at a particular MEC host location when the hosting environment is resource constrained.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Disclosed is a method of creating or updating an application context in a Multi-access Edge Computing, MEC, system, comprising the steps of: a) a device application posting a request to the MEC system to create or update the application context and to specify desired application location constraints; b) the MEC system authorising the request and creating or updating the application context in the MEC system and informing the device application accordingly; and c) the MEC system detecting a change in application location availability.

摘要： Three methods are described facilitating monitoring of progress of a requested task in a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) system. The first describes a method of performing an application lifecycle related operation request in the MEC system, comprising providing a completion timer as part of the request. Providing a completion timer allows the requesting client to monitor progress of the task, possibly performing an intervention action S21, S23, (e.g. pause, abort, terminate etc.), for example, if progress is too slow. The task may be one requested by an Operational Support System (OSS) as the client that is provided to one or more MEC Platforms (MEP) by a MEO (MEC Orchestrator) and MEPM (MEC Platform Manager). The second method involves providing more detailed (‘fine-grained’) information by the server to the client for an application lifecycle relation operation in the MEC system. Such information may give more detail, compared to prior art status information, on the progress of tasks. Alternatively, the information could relate to geographical or network topology, for example. The third method involves performing an intervention action in an ongoing lifecycle related operation to modify the ongoing operation. The application lifecycle related operation may be onboarding, instantiating, terminating, starting and/or stopping.

摘要： A method to provide a service in a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) network. A pod is provided in an edge cloud node, the pod comprising a software container for providing an application that offers a service to subscribers. The pod has an associated status related to an active subscriber, A, or to a previously active registered subscriber, R. Whilst the pod has one registered subscriber the pod is maintained in the cloud edge node. If the pod has no active or registered subscribers, it may be deleted after a configurable time period elapses. A user context associated with an active subscriber may be made available to other pods on the basis of a prediction of the subscriber’s behaviour, such as their speed or direction of travel. Use of an ambassador pattern to replicate data between edge clusters means that a subscriber’s user context is continually updated to all Persistent Volume Claims (PVC). This results in a seamless service migration since when a user equipment is switched from one edge cloud node to another no user context update is required and access to the service can continue uninterrupted. A pod may be defined as a service provider in Kubernetes terminology.

摘要： In an edge network, a plurality of possible communication paths between a source Edge Application Server (EAS) and target EAS are identified and one of the plurality of possible communication paths is selected according to one or more predetermined criteria (e.g. cost, latency, nature/size of data to be transferred). The method may comprise transferring an application context from the source EAS to target EAS via the selected path. The identifying may be performed by the edge enabler layer (e.g. by an Edge Enabler Server (EES)). The selecting may be performed by one of the source EAS, target EAS, source EES and target EES. The communication paths between the source EAS and target EAS may be via a PLMN, outside a PLMN via the cloud or via one or more EESs. The source EAS and target EAS may be provided in different Edge Data Networks (EDN) offered by one or more providers.
