Method for wireless communication network connecting user application to server
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11889593B2) outlines a method for operating a wireless communication network to connect a user application in a user device to an application server. The method involves various components such as an edge enablement client, gateway enablement server, edge application server, and core network, each exchanging specific signaling (EDGE-1, EDGE-3, EDGE-5, EDGE-7, EDGE-9) to facilitate the exchange of user data. Notably, the core network transfers network information, including user device identifier, application identifier, and network address, to a distributed ledger node for determining trust for the user application, user gateway, edge data network, and core network based on this information.
Furthermore, the patent includes additional features such as the involvement of mobile edge compute platforms and applications in the edge data network and user gateway, support for low-latency applications, computer interface applications, and augmented-reality applications. The core network's functionalities include a wireless network slice with a user plane function for data exchange, a network exposure function for transferring network information to a security control function, which then communicates with the distributed ledger node. The method described in the patent aims to enhance the connectivity and trustworthiness of wireless communication networks by utilizing a distributed ledger node for verifying network entities based on specific identifiers and signaling exchanges, ultimately ensuring secure and efficient data transfer between user applications and servers.
