Application: Server, requesting entity, and methods therefor (Patent ID: US20240107424A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes a system where a first server in an edge data network attempts to identify a second server based on selection criteria, including the congestion state of servers in the network. If the second server is identified, information is sent to the requesting entity; otherwise, a rejection message is sent. This system aims to provide suitable selection criteria for identifying an edge server efficiently.
The patent further details a radio terminal that sends an Edge Application Server (EAS) discovery request to an edge server and receives a response indicating if the request is rejected due to congestion. The response includes information on the waiting period before a new discovery request can be made. Additionally, the patent covers methods for the radio terminal and edge server, along with the components involved such as Edge Enabler Client (EEC) and Edge Enabler Server (EES) located in an Edge Data Network (EDN). This technology is applicable to various devices like User Equipment (UE), mobile stations, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices, enhancing the efficiency of edge server discovery in a network.
