Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a machine learning-based resource management service is provided. A network device obtains network and end device information, and uses machine learning to determine whether to adjust an auto-scaling rule pertaining to the provisioning of an application service. The network device generates a modified auto-scaling rule based on the analysis.

Abstract: An illustrative multi-access server orchestration system determines a subset of a set of multi-access servers associated with a communication network. The subset corresponds to a service area of a network anchor point through which network traffic on the communication network is routed to a client device. The multi-access server orchestration system orders the multi-access servers included within the subset to form an ordered listing of multi-access servers from a most-preferred to a least-preferred multi-access server for fulfilling a service request for the client device. The ordered listing designates a first multi-access server included in the subset and located more proximate to the network anchor point than to the client device to be more highly preferred for fulfilling the service request than a second multi-access server included in the subset and located more proximate to the client device than to the network anchor point. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, by a first blockchain node and via a first base station, a message from a first Internet of Things (IoT) device to a second IoT device, wherein the device corresponds to a first multi-access edge computing (MEC) device located in a first MEC network associated with the first base station. The processor may be further configured to authenticate, by the first blockchain node, the first IoT device using a blockchain associated with a group of IoT devices and send, by the first blockchain node, the message to a second blockchain node in a second MEC device in a second MEC network associated with a second base station servicing the second IoT device, in response to authenticating the first IoT device using the blockchain associated with the group of IoT devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a distributed runtime logging and transaction control service for federated edge and public cloud services. A network device in an application service layer network receives a request from a network function, logs a record of the request, and publishes the record of the request in a distributed ledger. The network device receives a validation decision for the request, wherein the validation decision is provided from a main transaction control system for the application service layer network. The network device initiates a positive response to the request by the first edge cluster when the validation decision indicates an approval of the request, and initiates a denial response to the request when the validation decision indicates a disapproval of the request.

Abstract: A method, a network device, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an RAT type monitoring event service. The RAT type monitoring event service may include providing a current RAT type associated with an end device and a network to an application function. The RAT type monitoring event service may also include providing a notification to the application function when the end device changes its RAT type. The current RAT type may be used by the application function to perform a network operation or procedure. The application function may subscribe to a monitoring and event notification associated with the RAT type monitoring event service.

Abstract: A system described herein may record, to a distributed ledger, information associating a particular application with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) information. A particular Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing (“MEC”) device operator system may access the distributed ledger to identify the information associating the particular application with the particular set of QoS information. The system may read, from the distributed ledger, MEC configuration information indicating that the MEC device operator system has configured one or more MEC devices, of a plurality of MEC devices to provide the particular application in accordance with the particular set of QoS information. The system may select a particular MEC device, from the plurality of MEC devices, based on a request and further based on the MEC configuration information, and may output an indication of the selected particular MEC device in response to the request.

Abstract: An application client on a user device obtains an authorization token from the computing platform that hosts one or more edge application devices, initiates an edge discovery request to the computing platform using the authorization token, and, in response to the edge discovery request, receives connection information of a particular edge application device among the one or more edge application devices. The application client establishes a connection between the application client and the particular edge application device using the connection information.

Abstract: An application client on a user device receives an internal request from within the application client. The internal request is associated with edge application device(s) hosted by a computing platform. In response to the internal request, the application client obtains an authorization token from the computing platform and initiates an edge discovery request to the computing platform using the authorization token. In response to the edge discovery request, the application client receives connection information of a particular edge application device among the edge application device(s) that is identified for the application client by the computing platform. The application client establishes a connection between the application client and the particular edge application device using the connection information of the particular edge application device.

Abstract: A system described herein may maintain records, in a distributed ledger, that include parameters (e.g., Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters and/or Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing (“MEC”) device management parameters) that are associated with particular applications and/or MEC operator systems. The system may identify a particular record, from the distributed ledger, that is associated with a particular MEC operator system. The particular record may indicate a first set of MEC configuration parameters implemented by the MEC device operator system, and one or more triggers based on which the first set of MEC configuration parameters were implemented by the MEC device operator system. The system may record a set of modified application parameters, that are generated based on the identified first set of MEC configuration parameters and the one or more triggers, to the distributed ledger.
