  • Patent number: 12156071
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to techniques for implementing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) systems and networks. V2X system scenarios characterized by high mobility and dynamic topologies, where the accuracy and timeliness of radio network information, location information may be hampered by environmental conditions and deployment density of network infrastructure. The disclosed embodiments provide a V2X Information Service (VIS) framework for cooperative acquisition, partitioning, and distribution of information for efficient, journey-specific quality-of-service (QoS) predictions. The VIS framework identifies space/time correlations between radio condition/quality data collected in V2X system(s) and a vehicle's planned journey for better prediction of the radio conditions/quality of the communication network along the designated route. As a consequence, the VIS may expose journey-specific information about the QoS prediction to authorized devices.

  • Publication number: 20230362683
    Abstract: Various approaches for Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and Operator Platform (OP) systems, and management of applications and services in such systems, are discussed herein. An example system is configured to coordinate operations of a MEC system and an EDGEAPP system. The system performs lifecycle management (LCM) operations of MEC and EDGEAPP applications in an Operator Platform instance in an Operator Platform domain, enabling coordination of the MEC and EDGEAPP applications in their respective systems. The system receives application data from an application client of a user equipment (UE) associated with either the MEC system or the EDGEAPP system and transmits the application data to an application host associated with (e.g., executed on) the other system. The system thus enables LCM of respective apps and communications among MEC and EDGEAPP systems, enhancing the overall performance of an Operator Platform.
