    Abstract: Techniques for maintaining service continuity in a 5G NR network in communication with a MEC system and an edge application (EDGEAPP) system are disclosed. A notification message originating from a service management function (SMF) of a core network (CN) is decoded at a network exposure function (NEF) of the CN. The notification message includes a UE IP address change of a UE. A private IP address of the UE is determined based on the UE IP address change. A query with the private IP address is encoded for transmission to a NAT server. A response from the NAT server is decoded. The response includes a public IP address and a UE ID of the UE. The public IP address corresponds to the private IP address. A tuple including the UE ID, the public IP address, and the private IP address is generated at the NEF.

    Abstract: Various approaches are provided for enabling Edge Dual Deployment (EDD). EDD includes Multi-access edge computing (MEC) Dual Deployments (MDD) initialization performed as a preliminary step before the actual registration, as a mechanism to allow the two platforms (EES and MEC platform) to communicate directly. MDD establishment is a dual registration mechanism of the edge application in the EDD environment. MDD update and closing are analogous registration update and de-registration processes, with both sub-cases.

    Abstract: Various approaches for Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and Operator Platform (OP) systems, and management of applications and services in such systems, are discussed herein. An example system is configured to coordinate operations of a MEC system and an EDGEAPP system. The system performs lifecycle management (LCM) operations of MEC and EDGEAPP applications in an Operator Platform instance in an Operator Platform domain, enabling coordination of the MEC and EDGEAPP applications in their respective systems. The system receives application data from an application client of a user equipment (UE) associated with either the MEC system or the EDGEAPP system and transmits the application data to an application host associated with (e.g., executed on) the other system. The system thus enables LCM of respective apps and communications among MEC and EDGEAPP systems, enhancing the overall performance of an Operator Platform.
