Publication number: 20250374025Abstract: Aspects relate to the management of multiple internet protocol (IP) addresses. In a first aspect, a UE receives a first IP address associated with one of a Home Edge Application Server Discovery Function (H-EASDF) server or a generic domain name system (DNS) server, and a second IP address associated with a V-EASDF server. The UE then transmits a DNS query associated with an edge computing application to one of the first or second IP address based on logic (e.g., instructions) residing in the UE. In another aspect, a core network node receives an IP address associated with a V-EASDF server, and transmits a communication to a user equipment that includes a first and second IP address. Here, the first IP address is associated with one of an H-EASDF server or a generic DNS server, whereas the second IP address is the IP address associated with the V-EASDF server.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: December 4, 2025Inventors: Dario Serafino TONESI, Haris ZISIMOPOULOS, Sebastian SPEICHER, Alan SOLOWAY, Sunghoon KIM, Tom CHIN

Patent number: 12335100Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for identifying edge application servers (EASs) to support one or more services of an application client (AC) running on a user equipment (UE). An AC of a UE may send a request for an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE to identify one or more EASs for one or more services of the AC. The EEC may receive the request and may perform an EAS discovery procedure to identify the one or more EASs. The EEC may then send a response to the AC including identifiers of the one or more EASs (e.g., if the EAS discovery procedure indicated that these EASs are available). Once the AC receives the response, the AC may connect to each EAS of the EASs indicated by the EEC to support a corresponding service of the AC.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sunghoon Kim, Nishant Gupta, Dario Serafino Tonesi, Alan Soloway, Tom Chin, Ajith Tom Payyappilly

Publication number: 20250030774Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for discovery, by a user connected to a first network, of an edge application server (EAS) associated with a second network. In some aspects, techniques described herein provide a shared EAS discovery function (EASDF), which allows users connected to different home networks to discover EASs across a plurality of networks. Some techniques described herein provide communication between EASDFs of different networks. Thus, a user connected to a first network can discover an EAS of a second network, which enables sharing of EASs across networks. Furthermore, techniques described herein provide communication between a UE connected to a first network and an edge data network (EDN) (such as an EAS hosted by the EDN) of a second network, such as by establishing a connection between a user plane function of the first network associated with the UE and a network entity of the second network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2023Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Dario Serafino TONESI, Sunghoon KIM, Nishant GUPTA, Alan SOLOWAY, Tom CHIN, Hong CHENG
