Samsung patents ID system for 5G edge computing services

Samsung has filed a patent for a method to create and manage unique identifiers for devices in 5G and 6G networks. The system allows a phone to request a specific ID from a server when connecting to edge computing services, which process data closer to the user to reduce lag.

Why it mattersThis technical update helps standardize how devices connect to fast, local servers, which is essential for future low-latency applications like cloud gaming or real-time video.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The present disclosure provides a terminal identifier generation, allocation, and management method and device required to provide a terminal identifier to an external server which provides a service requiring linkage to a mobile communication system. The present disclosure provides a device and a method which can effectively provide a service in a mobile communication system.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a terminal identifier request message for edge computing; receiving a terminal identifier response message for the edge computing, related to the terminal identifier request message for the edge computing; and acquiring a terminal identifier included in the terminal identifier response message for the edge computing, wherein, in case that the terminal identifier request message for the edge computing comprises information regarding an edge application server (EAS) bundle comprising at least one EAS and information related to a request for a shared terminal identifier from the at least one EAS included in the EAS bundle, the terminal identifier is mapped to the EAS bundle.
