Edge Enabler Client Registration via Implicit Context Push
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G wireless communication networks, edge enabler clients (EECs) face challenges during service continuity, as they are unaware of their registration ID and expiration time at the Target-Edge Enabler Server (T-EES) after successful context relocation, leading to potential service interruptions and resource occupation issues.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves the T-EES performing implicit registration of the EEC, creating a registration ID and expiration time, and including these in a push EEC context response message sent to the Source-Edge Enabler Server (S-EES), ensuring the EEC is informed about its new registration details for seamless service continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the T-EES performs implicit registration of the EEC during service continuity, then service interruption is reduced, but the EEC becomes unaware of its registration ID and expiration time at the T-EES
Solution Approach 1:
The S-EES sends an ACR information notification to the EEC that includes the registration ID and expiration time assigned by the T-EES. This feedback mechanism ensures the EEC receives the necessary registration information after implicit registration, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining service continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The S-EES acts as an intermediary between the T-EES and the EEC. It receives the registration ID and expiration time from the T-EES and forwards this information to the EEC through the ACR information notification, enabling the EEC to be informed of its registration details without disrupting the implicit registration process.
2Device complexity
If the EEC is not informed of its registration ID and expiration time at the T-EES, then the registration process remains simple, but service delivery efficiency deteriorates due to potential service interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The S-EES includes the registration ID and expiration time in the ACR information notification that is sent to the EEC. This preliminary provision of registration information ensures the EEC has all necessary details before service delivery, preventing interruptions and maintaining efficiency without complicating the registration process.
3Quantity of substance
If the EEC lacks registration information at the T-EES, then resource occupation is reduced, but potential service interruptions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The ACR information notification serves as feedback that provides the EEC with registration information (registration ID and expiration time) from the T-EES. This ensures the EEC can properly manage its registration status and service delivery without causing resource occupation issues or service interruptions.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein disclose method for handling a registration of an EEC (600) during a service continuity procedure by a Target-Edge Enabler Server (T-EES) (400). The method includes performing an implicit registration of the EEC (600) upon receiving a push EEC context request message from a Source-Edge Enabler Server (S-EES) (300). Further, the method includes creating at least one of a registration ID associated with the implicit registration and an expiration time associated with the implicit registration of the EEC (600). Further, the method includes adding at least one of the registration ID and the expiration time in a push EEC context response message. Further, the method includes sending the push EEC context response message comprising at least one of the registration ID and the expiration time to the S-EES (300).
