Edge Enabler Server Dynamic Subscription for UE Availability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for methods and systems to provide applications with dynamic information about the availability and access constraints of edge computing systems, as these systems are not ubiquitous and can change dynamically, requiring mechanisms to notify applications for fine-tuning services and enabling or disabling features.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where an edge enabler server receives a subscription request from an edge enabler client, authorizes it, creates a dynamic information subscription, and sends notifications to the client about changes in edge computing system availability, allowing applications to adjust their behavior and features accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If applications continuously query edge computing system availability, then applications can be aware of dynamic changes, but network traffic and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The edge enabler server implements a push-based feedback mechanism where it proactively notifies the edge enabler client about changes in edge computing system availability, eliminating the need for continuous polling by the application and reducing energy consumption while maintaining real-time awareness
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes subscription relationships in advance between the edge enabler client and the edge enabler server, so that when availability changes occur, the information is immediately pushed to the application without requiring active querying, thus reducing continuous energy consumption
2Loss of information

3Ease of manufacture
If edge computing systems are not ubiquitous, then operational and financial constraints are maintained, but applications cannot reliably access edge computing features
Solution Approach 1:
The edge enabler server acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of edge computing system availability, providing a standardized interface for applications to subscribe to and receive availability information, thus enabling reliable access patterns without requiring ubiquitous deployment
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts to the availability of edge computing systems by providing real-time availability information to applications, allowing them to adjust their behavior based on current conditions rather than assuming constant availability, thus maintaining reliability despite non-universal deployment

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments herein disclose a method for providing dynamic information to an edge enabler client (140) running in a UE (100). The method includes receiving, by an edge enabler server (300), a subscription request for a dynamic information subscription from the edge enabler client (140). Further, the method includes creating, by the edge enabler server (300), the dynamic information subscription to provide the dynamic information to the edge enabler client (140) based on the dynamic information provided in the subscription request. Further, the method includes sending, by the edge enabler server (300), a subscription response to the edge enabler client running in the UE (100) in response to creating the dynamic information subscription.
