Abstract: A communication system executes a sharing process, an acquisition process, a determination process, a deployment process, and an execution process. The sharing process is a process of sharing a shared key for a plurality of entities including a communication apparatus and at least one edge server, between the plurality of entities. The acquisition process is a process of acquiring performance information, which indicates a performance of the plurality of entities, from the plurality of entities. The determination process is a process of determining services to be assigned to the plurality of entities based on the performance information. The deployment process is a process of deploying the assigned services to the plurality of entities. The execution process is a process of executing the deployed services at the plurality of entities using the shared key.

Abstract: A communication device provided with a chip set and one or more processors. The one or more processors acquire, from a preferred application with which a provided service is to be received via a communication network, a requirement for receiving the provided service, refer to a policy file to select a slice satisfying the requirement from among slices provided in the communication network, generate a first communication connection request associated with an application corresponding to the selected slice, the first communication request being independent from the preferred application with which the provided service is to be received via the communication network, and notify the chip set of the first communication connection request. Upon acquiring the first communication connection request, the chip set sends, to the communication network, a second communication connection request for performing communication associated with the application with which the provided service is to be received.

Abstract: An edge server executes reception processing, control processing, and image transmission processing. The reception processing is for receiving, from a base station that has detected an emergency state, information indicating the emergency state via a core network connected to the base station. The control processing is for controlling, upon receiving information indicating the emergency state, one or more surveillance cameras connected to the base station. The image transmission processing is for transmitting images captured by the one or more surveillance cameras to an external apparatus via the core network.

Abstract: A management apparatus executes a determination process and an offloading control process. The determination process is a process for determining whether a processing load in an execution server, among a plurality of edge servers, executing a processing requested by a plurality of communication apparatus meets a distribution start condition. The offloading control process is a process for, in a case where it is determined that the processing load meets the distribution start condition, controlling to offload a processing being executed by the execution server to one or more offload destination servers, among the plurality of edge servers, that is different from the execution server to meet a processing request time for the requested processing.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus executes an acquiring process, a prediction process, and a determination process. The acquiring process is a process for acquiring, from a communication apparatus, a communication status for the communication apparatus before handover. The prediction process is a process for predicting, based on the communication status before handover, a communication status for the communication apparatus after handover using machine learning. The determination process is a process for determining, based on the predicted communication status after handover, an Service and Session Continuity (SSC) mode to be used by the communication apparatus after handover.
