AI Technical Summary
Current Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards for the edge enabler layer do not specify the interface exposed by the edge enabler client towards the application client within the user equipment, limiting the capabilities of the edge enabler layer to make informed predictions and plan ahead, and current EEC services are improvident, restricting flexibility and efficiency in service provisioning.
A new application program interface (API) is introduced to define the interface between the edge enabler client and application client, allowing delegation of services based on application requirements, utilizing machine learning and artificial intelligence to predict future user needs and enhance network planning.
The API simplifies application client logic, enables informed service delegation, improves user experience, and reduces latency by allowing the edge enabler client to manage edge services effectively, thus enhancing network planning and service delivery.
