Method and device for generating and removing dynamic EAS using UE app and status
Disclosed are a communication technique for merging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system. The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, to an application layer network architecture providing an edge computing service in a cellular wireless communication system. According to an embodiment, a method of an EES comprises receiving, from an EEC, a first message including information used to determine matching EAS, and triggering an EAS management system to instantiate the matching EAS in response to receiving the first message.
1. A method of an edge enabler server (EES), the method comprising:
receiving, from an edge enabler client (EEC), a first message including an identifier of an applicant client (ACID) and an identifier of the EEC (EECID); and
triggering an edge application server (EAS) management system to instantiate an EAS serving an AC, wherein the AC is associated with the ACID.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the EAS that matches with the ACID.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein triggering the EAS management system to instantiate the EAS comprises:
invoking an application programming interface (API) managing a lifecycle of the EAS; and
transmitting information included in the first message to the EAS management system.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message further includes one of an AC status reporting message and a AC traffic status reporting message.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein information included in the first message further includes at least one of status information for the AC, prior status information for the AC if the AC is changed, status information for traffic of the AC, or prior status information for the traffic of the AC if the traffic of the AC is changed.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the EAS, a second message requesting for reporting status information for the AC;
storing reporting conditions for reporting the status information for the AC included in the second message; and
transmitting, to the EAS, a response message for the second message.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the transmitting the response message comprises:
determining whether the AC and the status information for the EAS match with current status information for the AC; and
transmitting, to the EAS, the response message for the second message based on a result of determination that AC and the status information for the EAS match with the current status information for the AC.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving the first message comprising:
transmitting, to the EEC, a reporting subscription request message for status information for the AC, the reporting subscription request message including the reporting conditions for reporting the status information for the AC; and
receiving, from the EEC, the first message based on the reporting conditions.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the reporting subscription request message further includes at least one of an AC status reporting type, an AC status reporting indicator, or an AC status reporting subscription.
10. An edge enabler server (EES) comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to:
receive, from an edge enabler client (EEC), a first message including an identifier of an application client (ACID) and an identifier of the EEC (EECID); and
trigger an edge application server (EAS) management system to instantiate an EAS serving an AC, wherein the AC is associated with the ACID.
11. The EES of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the EAS that matches with the ACID.
12. The EES of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to:
invoke an application programming interface (API) managing a lifecycle of the EAS; and
control the transceiver to transmit information included in the first message to the EAS management system.
13. The EES of claim 10 , wherein the first message further includes one of an AC status reporting message and a AC traffic status reporting message.
14. The EES of claim 10 , wherein information included in the first message further includes at least one of status information for the AC, prior status information for the AC if the AC is changed, status information for traffic of the AC, or prior status information for the traffic of the AC if the traffic of the AC is changed.
15. The EES of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to receive, from the EAS, a second message requesting for reporting status information for the AC;
store reporting conditions for reporting the status information for the AC included in the second message; and
control the transceiver to transmit, to the EAS, a response message for the second message.
16. The EES of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine whether the AC and the status information for the EAS match with current status information for the AC; and
control the transceiver to transmit, to the EAS, the response message for the second message based on a result of determination that AC and the status information for the EAS match with the current status information for the AC.
17. The EES of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit, to the EEC, a reporting subscription request message for status information for the AC, the reporting subscription request message including the reporting conditions for reporting the status information for the AC; and
control the transceiver to receive, from the EEC, the first message based on the reporting conditions.
18. The EES of claim 17 , wherein the reporting subscription request message further includes at least one of an AC status reporting type, an AC status reporting indicator, or an AC status reporting subscription.
