Abstract: Data that is to be processed by a particular service executed by a first edge computing device in an application, is analyzed to determine characteristics of the data. An opportunity to replicate the particular service on a plurality of edge computing devices is determined based on characteristics of the data. A second edge computing device is determined to be available to execute a replicated instance of the particular service. Replication of the particular service is initiated on a plurality of edge computing devices including the second edge computing device. An output of an instance of the particular service executed on the first edge computing device and an output of the replicated instance of the particular service executed on the second edge computing device are combined to form a single output for the particular service.

Abstract: Dynamic resource reconfiguration based on workload semantics and behavior. A controller may receive, from a core network, a request for an end-to-end managed connection, the end-to-end managed connection for an application executing on a server and an application executing on a client device, where the client device is coupled to the controller via a radio access network (RAN). The controller may determine a policy for the end-to-end managed connection. The controller may apply one or more parameters of the policy to the end-to-end managed connection.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes edge computing over disaggregated radio access network (RAN) infrastructure through dynamic edge data extraction. Edge data is extracted at intermediate stages of RAN processing, provided to edge compute functions, and inserted back into the RAN processing pipeline. These mechanisms allow for the processing of edge data traffic much closer to the data source than existing approaches, which decreases the overall latency and delay. Additionally, these mechanisms do not require changes to already existing network protocols, allowing for non-complex adoption and implementation.
