Abstract: The present application relates to improved methods of application instance registration in a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) system, comprising, e.g.: receiving, at a MEC platform device, a registration request for a first application instance; determining, by the MEC platform device, that the first application instance is not presently registered; in response to determining that the first application instance is not presently registered, allocating, by the MEC platform device, a first application instance registration identifier for the first application instance; transmitting, by the MEC platform device, the first application instance registration identifier to the first application instance; and causing, by the MEC platform device, a first application instance registration notification to be sent to a MEC system-level management device. According to some aspects, the MEC platform device may first send a permission request to a MEC system-level management device to request permission to be able to register the first application instance.
