Abstract: Embodiments of a target edge application server (T-EAS) and a related method for supporting an application context relocation (ACR) procedure of user equipment (UE) in a communication network are disclosed. In response to a predicted movement of the UE from a current location to a predicted location within a coverage region of the T-EAS, the T-EAS is configured to receive, in an ACR execution phase of the ACR procedure, an application context of the UE from a source edge application server (S-EAS). Moreover, in response to obtaining information that the UE is no longer expected to move to the predicted location within the coverage region of the T-EAS, the T-EAS is further configured to perform, in a post-ACR clean-up phase of the ACR procedure, at least one post-ACR clean-up operation which at least includes discarding the application context.
