    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for receiving a communication session request associated with a particular User Equipment (“UE”). The system may identify locator information associated with an edge discovery system associated with a network that includes a plurality of edge devices, wherein the edge discovery system receives service requests associated with one or more UEs and provides an indication of a respective edge device of the plurality of edge device in response to respective service requests. The system may output, in response to the communication session request, the locator information associated with the edge discovery system, wherein the particular UE communicates with the edge discovery system using the locator information to output a particular service request and receive, from the edge discovery system, an indication of a particular edge device of the plurality of edge devices in response to the particular service request.

    Abstract: A system described herein may maintain one or more smart contracts on a distributed ledger. The system may receive a request, associated with a User Equipment (“UE”), for access to a particular network (e.g., a private network), identify one or more attributes of the UE, and select a particular smart contract based on the attributes of the UE. The system may execute the selected particular smart contract, which may include performing operations, indicated by the particular smart contract, using the one or more attributes of the UE as inputs. Executing the particular smart contract may further include identifying outputs that result from performing the particular set of operations using the attributes of the UE as inputs, such as a network access policy for the UE. The system may output a response to the request, indicating the network access policy determined based on executing the particular smart contract.

    Abstract: A system described herein may provide techniques for a geographically-based traffic handling policy. An originating device may mark traffic with geographic restriction information, such as in a header of network traffic, indicating a geographic restriction on the propagation of the traffic. The geographic restriction may indicate a geographic region in which the traffic may be forwarded, or a geographic region in which the traffic is prohibited from being forwarded. Network devices in a path between the originating device and a destination device may determine whether to drop the traffic or perform other policy-related actions based on whether such devices are inside the geographic region in which the traffic may be forwarded. In some implementations a destination device may register as an exception to such policies, based on which an originating device or a router may bypass geographically-based traffic handling policies with respect to marked traffic directed to the destination device.

    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for dynamic resource slice allocation are provided. A bidding engine dynamically tracks available network slices and available edge computing resources to generate a current list of resource slices corresponding to combinations of available network slices and available edge computing resources. A bidding auction is conducted for the current list of resource slices. A user equipment device is determined to be a winner of the bidding auction for a resource slice based upon a bidding request from the user equipment device. In this way, the user equipment device is provide with access to the resource slice based upon a determination that the user equipment device won the bidding auction.

    Abstract: A system described herein may determine that a first measure of likelihood of demand for a particular service from a first set of edge computing devices exceeds a first threshold, and may instruct the first set of edge computing devices to provision resources to provide the particular service. The system may subsequently determine that a second measure of likelihood of demand for the particular service from a second set of edge computing devices exceeds a second threshold, the second set of edge computing devices being a subset of the first set of edge computing devices, and may initiate a service state synchronization operation with respect to the second set of edge computing devices. The system may select a particular edge computing device, of the second set of edge computing devices, to provide the particular service to a User Equipment (“UE”).
