Application: Edge configuration server, edge enable server, and operating methods therefor (Patent ID: US20230396680A1)
The patent filed by SK Telecom Co Ltd. pertains to an edge configuration server, an edge enable server, and their operating methods in an edge computing service environment. The innovation aims to reduce signaling needed for reconnection of terminal devices in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) service setup where edge computing services are accessible through the closest edge cloud site to the device's network connection location. The edge configuration server determines reconnection of a terminal device to an edge application and induces connection to an edge enable server managing the application in the nearest edge cloud site based on cached session management information. This process minimizes signaling and streamlines the reconnection process for improved efficiency.
The claims outline the specific functionalities of the edge configuration server and the edge enable server, detailing how they manage session information, connection allocation, and communication support between edge applications and terminal devices. The servers utilize cached session data to facilitate reconnection, identify specific service areas, and handle error information for seamless operation. The operating methods of both servers involve determining reconnection, inducing connection to the appropriate server, supporting edge communication, and generating lists of edge applications based on the initial connection process. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing the performance and connectivity of edge computing services by optimizing the reconnection process in MEC environments.
