Mobile Edge Computing Server Hosting Virtual Rendezvous Point

The patent segments the network architecture by deploying virtual Rendezvous Points at multiple levels: edge locations close to users/devices and core network locations. This segmentation allows latency-sensitive traffic to be handled at the edge while maintaining core network management capabilities, thereby resolving the contradiction between centralized control reliability and signal latency.

The patent introduces a spatial dimension to the Rendezvous Point deployment by distributing VRP instances across different network locations (edge and core) rather than relying on a single centralized location. This multi-dimensional deployment enables the system to simultaneously achieve low latency for local traffic and robust interference management through core network coordination.

The patent establishes preliminary local connections between mobile devices and edge-located virtual Rendezvous Points before core network involvement is needed. This preliminary action at the network edge minimizes initial signal latency, while core network resources remain available for bandwidth-intensive operations and interference management when required.

The patent introduces virtual Rendezvous Points at the network edge as intermediary nodes between mobile devices and the core network. These edge VRP intermediaries handle latency-sensitive control signals locally, while core network VRP intermediaries manage bandwidth-intensive data flows and coordination, thereby resolving the bandwidth-latency tradeoff.
