Publication number: 20240121740Abstract: In response to receiving from a requesting entity (2) a request for a connection to an entity providing a service in an edge data network (4), a first server (7) attempts to identify a second server (5) located in the edge data network (7) based on at least one selection criterion. If the second server (4) cannot be identified or is not available, the first server (7) identifies a second alternative server that is different from the second server, or identify a first alternative server that substitutes for the first server (7) for attempting to identify the second server. This can contribute, for example, to mitigating the impact of failing to discover one or more preferred edge servers for a User Equipment (UE).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Tsuyoshi Takakura, Toshiyuki Tamura

Publication number: 20240107424Abstract: In response to receiving from a requesting entity (2) a request for a connection to an entity providing a service in an edge data network (4), a first server (7) attempts to identify a second server (5) located in the edge data network (7) based on at least one selection criterion. The at least one selection criterion includes a congestion state of a server located within the edge data network (4). If the second server (5) is identified, the first server (7) sends information about the second server (5) to the requesting entity (2). If the second server (5) cannot be identified, the first server (7) sends to the requesting entity (2) a rejection message indicating that the second server (5) cannot be identified. This can contribute, for example, to providing a suitable selection criterion for identifying an edge server.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Tsuyoshi Takakura, Toshiyuki Tamura
