Methods devised for enabling external AF/AS to provide information to SGC regarding Edge Data Network Configurations. Further, methods for UE provisioning for Edge service enablement are provided. Mechanisms are disclosed for: enabling UEs, not hosting an EEC, to request EDN information provisioning in order to enable Application Clients, which are not Edge-aware, to utilize Edge services; enabling an EEC, hosted by a UE, to obtain Edge Configuration information by using URSP rules for establishing IP connectivity with a Configuration Server; and enabling an EEC, hosted by a UE, to obtain Edge Data Network configuration information during registration. Furthermore, methods are provided that include mechanisms for: enabling AFs to subscribe for event monitoring exposure via the NEF and request optimized reporting or preference for reporting distribution via the UE; enabling subscriptions and policies from centralized NFs to be distributed to Edge or Local Deployments along the path of UEs, via the UE; and enabling exposure of event monitoring from centralized NFs to edge servers, with low latency, via the UE.
