Patent number: 12160350Abstract: A quality of service traffic steering approach for multi-access edge computing (MEC) environments is disclosed. In an embodiment, a network exposure function (NEF) or similar device (e.g., MEC controller or orchestrator) monitors a quality of service (QoS) of a data session between a user equipment (UE) and an application. The NEF then can determine when the QoS of the data session does not meet a requested service level agreement (SLA). When the SLA is not met, the NEF identifies a MEC host that meets the SLA using a database of MEC applications. Based on the identified MEC host, the NEF re-routes the data session to the MEC host.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ye Huang, Ali Imdad Malik, Miguel A.
