Abstract: Techniques for maintaining service continuity in a 5G NR network in communication with a MEC system and an edge application (EDGEAPP) system are disclosed. A notification message originating from a service management function (SMF) of a core network (CN) is decoded at a network exposure function (NEF) of the CN. The notification message includes a UE IP address change of a UE. A private IP address of the UE is determined based on the UE IP address change. A query with the private IP address is encoded for transmission to a NAT server. A response from the NAT server is decoded. The response includes a public IP address and a UE ID of the UE. The public IP address corresponds to the private IP address. A tuple including the UE ID, the public IP address, and the private IP address is generated at the NEF.

Abstract: Methods are known for controlling processes using control software which keeps different control elements ready at the same time. In this respect, the process of suppressing or putting control elements out of service if the control elements are not available is likewise known. The invention is to be improved, however, in that control elements and decisions are given to the user such that an intuitive use is facilitated, and the user is guided through the control of a process. For this purpose, a process control is carried out via a program product, which is represented as a chat. The user and the program product act as communication participants, wherein the planned process is controlled by control commands which are requested in the course of the chat and entered or selected in response thereto.
