Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, by an edge enabler client of the UE, to trigger generation of a shadow application context to support an application that is associated with an application context and that is served by an edge network device. The UE may determine, by the edge enabler client, to transfer support of the application from the application context to the shadow application context, and transfer, by the edge enabler client, support of the application from the application context to the shadow application context. In some aspects, an application context may be transferred between a UE and an edge network directly, without the shadow application context. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a mobile device for allocating resources to a plurality of mobile devices in communication with an Edge network. The processor may receive from the plurality of mobile devices one or more capabilities of each mobile device related to a computing task in which the plurality of mobile devices are participating. The processor may determine a fairness result for the plurality of computing devices based on the one or more capabilities of each mobile device and the computing task. The processor may allocate resources to each of the plurality of mobile devices based on the determined fairness result.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for user equipment (UE) triggered edge computing application context relocation in an edge computing application architecture are described. For example, in facilitating relocation of an application context from a source edge application server (S-EAS) served by a source edge enabler server (S-EES) to a target EAS (T-EAS) served by a target EES (T-EES), S-EES centric and/or T-EES centric UE triggered application context relocation procedures may be implemented. In accordance with S-EES centric and/or T-EES centric UE triggered application context relocation procedures of some examples, a UE may take primary responsibility with respect to the application context transfer. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Interfacing of multimedia public warning system alerts is discussed in which a user equipment (UE) receives a system information broadcast message with a multimedia alert contained therein. The multimedia alert triggers the UE to automatically initiate a multimedia broadcast application to process the alert. The multimedia alert includes broadcast system information that enables the multimedia broadcast application to automatically tune the UE to the streaming multimedia content associated with the alert. The UE may then process the streaming multimedia content on the UE.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for smooth transition between broadcast/multicast transmission and unicast transmission. A method for managing unicast and multicast services switching in a multi-band/multi-frequency wireless communications system (WCS) capable of both unicast and multicast signaling includes determining whether an aggregate demand for a content provided via dedicated unicast transmissions exceeds a threshold. The method includes switching transmission of the content from the dedicated unicast transmissions on one frequency to a multicast transmission on a second or more frequencies in response to determining that the aggregate demand exceeds the threshold.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for establishment and maintenance of edge data network services. A user equipment (UE) may register one or more application clients for edge services at an edge application server. In order to maintain edge application servers that are continuing to be used by the UE, an edge enabler server at the edge data network, an edge enabler client at the UE, or both, may initiate a timer that is used to confirm the edge application server is continuing to be used. Such techniques may help prevent resources from being consumed after the edge services are no longer needed, such as after the UE no longer needs the edge services or the UE has moved outside of an area associated with the edge services.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for establishing a connection with an edge application server are provided. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network establishes a connection with an edge application server to offload the data processing of an application executing on the UE to the edge application server. The UE communicates key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the application to the edge data network. The KPIs indicate the resources that application uses to process the data. In response, the UE receives edge application server parameters from multiple servers in the edge data network that meet or exceed the KPIs. The parameters include compute, graphical compute, memory and storage parameters with various levels of specificity. The UE selects one of the edge application servers to process the data on behalf of the application based on the parameters.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for configuration of edge data networks based on current and projected future locations of a user equipment (UE). The UE may provide one or more expected future locations based on routing information of the UE, a polygon associated with one or more current or future UE locations, a waypoint set of the UE, and the like. Based on the provided one or more future locations, the edge data network may provide to the UE one or more edge data network configurations for different UE locations. As the UE moves to different locations, different edge data network configurations may be used, thereby enhancing efficiency of UE operation in the edge data network.
