Abstract: A first edge enabler server (EES) may receive a first request to establish a multi-user session between a first application client (AC) and a second AC. The first request may include multi-user session information. The first EES may establish the multi-user session between the first AC and the second AC, for example by sending one or more requests to different edge application servers (EASs). The first EES may receive one or more responses from the different EASs. Based on the one or more responses from the different EASs for example, the first EES may determine that the multi-user session has been established.
