Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for authorizing an application in User Equipment (UE) for direct discovery. In one embodiment, an authorization mechanism receives information (e.g., application ID) for a discovery request sent by an application in a UE. In response to the discovery request, the authorization mechanism challenges the UE for information regarding security parameters that are mapped to the application ID. Based on the information provided by the UE, the authorization mechanism determines whether the application is authorized for direct discovery.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for an authentication of an identity of a user. In example embodiments, the client device reads a digital tag associated with a service to be accessed, the digital tag being encoded with an identifier associated with a service provider that provides the service. The client device then decodes the digital tag to obtain the identifier. Further, the client device determines an authentication proxy associated with the service provider, and sends, to the associated authentication proxy, the identifier and a first request for an authentication of an identity of a user associated with the client device. In this way, the security of the authentication of the identity of the user may be significantly improved.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer-readable media for dynamic resource authorization in a communication network. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a device in a vendor network dynamically transmits a request to a network device in the vendor network according to a resource usage state in an operator network. In addition, the vendor and an operator negotiate on charging, so that resource requests and allocation are more reasonable, and the resource usage rate is improved. Furthermore, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the operator further negotiates with a user on charging, so that the user is able to request and utilize a resource in a better manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, apparatus, device and computer readable storage media for management of application servers network edge computing device and a method, apparatus, device and computer readable storage media for performing management operation related to application servers network edge computing device. In example embodiments, at a management function module, a calling function deployment command is transmitted to a network edge computing device to deploy a calling function instance thereon, the calling function instance being configured to connect with application servers for respective applications and handle communications between terminal devices and the application server. A management command for application servers on the network edge computing device is transmitted to at least one of the network edge computing device and the calling function instance, in response to a network condition meeting one of predetermined management policies. In this way, the strict latency requirement of particular applications can be met and resources can be utilized efficiently.
