    Abstract: An exemplary user equipment (“UE”) device provides a service request to an orchestration system associated with a federation of compute clusters available to fulfill the service request. The UE device also identifies a service optimization policy associated with a user preference for balancing performance priorities during fulfillment of the service request. In response to the service request, the UE device receives cluster selection data from the orchestration system. Based on the cluster selection data, the UE device characterizes compute clusters, within a subset of compute clusters represented in the cluster selection data, with respect to the performance priorities. Based on the service optimization policy and the characterization of compute clusters in the subset, the UE device selects a compute cluster from the subset to fulfill the service request. The UE device then provides an orchestration request indicative of the selected compute cluster to the orchestration system.

    Abstract: An illustrative orchestration system is configured to provide, to a user equipment (UE) device communicatively coupled to a federation of compute clusters, cluster selection data for a subset of compute clusters from the federation of compute clusters. The cluster selection data is configured to facilitate the UE device in characterizing the compute clusters of the subset with respect to a service optimization policy. The orchestration system is further configured to receive, from the UE device, an orchestration request indicative of a compute cluster selected by the UE device based on the characterizing of the compute clusters of the subset. The orchestration system is configured to then orchestrate, in response to the orchestration request, fulfillment of a service request to be performed by the selected compute cluster for the UE device. Corresponding methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An exemplary multi-access edge computing (MEC) orchestration system obtains an operation parameter of a multi-client application that is to execute on a MEC server to be selected from a set of MEC servers located at a first set of locations within a coverage area of a provider network. When executing, the multi-client application serves respective client applications of a set of client devices located at a second set of locations within the coverage area. Based on the operation parameter, the MEC orchestration system identifies a candidate subset of MEC servers from the set of MEC servers and directs the set of client devices to test and report performance capabilities of the MEC servers in the candidate subset. Based on the reported performance capabilities, the MEC orchestration system selects, from the candidate subset of MEC servers, a particular MEC server on which the multi-client application is to execute.

    Abstract: A method may include receiving, at a wireless station, device capability information associated with a number of user equipment (UE) devices and determining, by the wireless station, uplink and downlink configurations for a number of carriers associated with the wireless station. The method may also include configuring uplink and downlink time slots for each of the carriers based on the determined uplink and downlink configurations and modifying the uplink and downlink configurations for at least some of the carriers over time based on data usage or congestion associated with the at least some of the plurality of carriers.
