Application: Discovery and interoperation of constrained devices with mec platform deployed in mnos edge computing infrastructure (Patent ID: US20240196184A1)
The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. describes a function called local federation (LF) that can be utilized in Edge Multi-access Edge Computing (EMEC) and Constrained Multi-access Edge Computing (CMEC) to discover available applications in both systems. The LF function can be referred to as LFE in EMEC and LFC in CMEC, with interfaces named Mpp-lfe and Mpp-cmec facilitating communication between LF entities in the two systems. The patent outlines systems, methods, and instrumentalities for EMEC initiated discovery of applications in CMEC, CMEC initiated registration with EMEC to announce application availability, and CMEC initiated discovery of other CMEC applications.
The patent's claims detail a method and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communication between devices in EMEC and CMEC systems. The WTRU receives messages indicating communication information for interacting with other devices, determines device interfaces based on identifiers, sends service discovery requests, and exchanges service information with other WTRUs. The method involves generating lists of available WTRUs, using registration information, and utilizing uniform resource identifiers (URIs) for service access. Additionally, the WTRU's location and association with EMEC or CMEC systems play a role in the communication process, emphasizing the importance of efficient application discovery and service provision in multi-access edge computing environments.
