  • METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR PROVISIONING AN APPLICATION ON A NETWORK NODE ACCORDING TO MOVEMENT PATTERNS AND APPLICATION PARAMETERS FOR MOBILE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230013655
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a plurality of mobile devices implementing an application, and identifying a group of mobile devices from among the plurality of mobile devices according to a first movement pattern of the group of mobile devices. Further aspects can include identifying a first mobile edge compute (MEC) node at a first location according to a proximity threshold that does not include a MEC agent for the application, and identifying a second MEC node at a second location that includes the MEC agent for the application according to the proximity threshold. Additional aspects can include determining a first network relative performance (NRP) metric associated with a first communications between the group of mobile devices and the second MEC node. The first communications are associated with the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.
