Samsung patents way for edge servers to share network details
This patent describes a method where one edge computing server asks another for specific network information. It allows different service providers to coordinate how data is routed to nearby users.
In the filing’s own words
Disclosed is a method performed by an edge configuration server (ECS) associated with a first edge computing service provider in an edge computing system, including transmitting, to a partner ECS associated with a second edge computing service provider, a request message for requesting information associated with an edge data network (EDN), and receiving, from the partner ECS, a response message including the information associated with the EDN, wherein the EDN is identified based on the request message.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a first edge configuration server (ECS) for an edge computing service, the method comprising: receiving, from an edge enabler server (EES) associated with the first ECS, an EES profile including instantiable edge application server (EAS) information; determining a second ECS for the edge computing service based on the received EES profile; transmitting, to the second ECS for the edge computing service, a request message for requesting information associated with an edge data network (EDN), wherein the request message includes information on a location of a terminal and information on an application client, and wherein the information on the application client comprises at least one of an identifier of the application client or an identifier of an EAS; and receiving, from the second ECS, a response message including the information associated with the EDN.
