Abstract:
A mobile edge computing (MEC) service area can comprise radio cells/antennas connected to baseband units that are connected to service gateway (SGW) and/or packet data network gateway (PGW) user planes at a customer premises. The radio cells can be tagged with evolved universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRAN) cell global identifiers (EGCIs) offering traceability to user equipment (UE) that camp on them. The radio cells for MEC can be assigned tracking area codes (TACs) such that when a UE is registered and provisioned for a MEC service area based on an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) assigned to a subscriber identity module (SIM) of the UE, the UE can be determined to be at a geofenced area.
