    Abstract: A multi-access edge computing (MEC) node of a MEC network may receive, from a user device a first request to communicate via a peer-to-peer connection routed through a MEC network. The MEC node may identify one or more candidate devices that are available to communicate with the user device via the peer-to-peer connection. The MEC node may provide, to a particular candidate device of the one or more candidate devices, a second request to communicate via the peer-to-peer connection. The MEC node may receive, from the particular candidate device, an acceptance to communicate via the peer-to-peer connection. The MEC node may route data between the user device and the particular candidate device via the peer-to-peer connection.

    Abstract: A Multi-access Edge Computing (“MEC”) controller may predict locations for a tracked UE at different future times, and may also predict content that the tracked UE may request at the different future times. The predictions may be based on MEC controller computing probabilities for the tracked UE being at the different locations at the different future times, and/or probabilities for the content that the tracked UE is likely to request at the different locations and/or future times. The MEC controller may identify a MEC device that provides extremely low latency service and/or optimally serves a network area that includes a predicted location. The MEC controller may issue a prefetch message to the MEC device that causes the MEC device to prefetch predicted content that the tracked UE is likely to request at the future time the tracked UE is likely to reach the predicted location.

    Abstract: A network device implements a control node that receives an indication of a session associated with a user equipment (UE), wherein the network device is connected to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and the LTE network is interconnected with a Next Generation (Next Gen) Network. The control node determines one or more parameters associated with at least one of: a relative traffic loading of the LTE network and the Next Gen Network, a quantity of first cells within the LTE network and a quantity of second cells within the Next Gen Network, a movement status of the UE, a quantity of data associated with the session, or a latency sensitivity of the session. The control node causes the session to be selectively routed to the UE via either the LTE network or the Next Gen Network, or via both the LTE network and the Next Gen Network, based on the one or more determined parameters.

    Abstract: An illustrative system includes a network device, of a wireless network, configured to determine location information associated with a user equipment (UE) connected to the wireless network, encode the location information in a resource assignment signal configured to assign a resource of the wireless network for use by the UE, and transmit the resource assignment signal including the encoded location information to the UE. The UE may be configured to receive the transmitted resource assignment signal including the encoded location information, decode the encoded location information, and use the location information for one or more operations of the UE, such as to determine a geographic location of the UE.

    Abstract: A network device may instantiate a first process in a first Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) cluster within a first MEC network; register the first MEC network at a MEC cloud; receive a call from the first process to obtain information from a second process in a second MEC cluster within a second MEC network that is registered at the MEC cloud; create a first message based on the call; send the first message from the first MEC cluster to the second MEC cluster; receive, at the first MEC cluster, a second message from the second MEC cluster, wherein the second message is provided by the second MEC cluster in response to receiving the first message; and extract a return value from the second message, wherein the return value is generated by the second process in response to receipt of the call in the second MEC cluster.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a mobile edge network-based intelligent routing service is provided. The intelligent routing service includes using default network devices to initially provide application services to end devices. The intelligent routing service further includes selecting and migrating the application services to a multi-layered mobile edge computing network when performance metrics associated with the application services are not satisfied. The intelligent routing service may determine whether performance metrics are satisfied based on performance metric information obtained from the serving nodes and the end devices.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for network slice selection during an initial connection. A wireless station receives, from a core network device, network slice data for each network slice available via the wireless station, wherein the network slice data includes a slice identifier and corresponding slice characteristics for each network slice. The wireless station receives, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request message that indicates a network slice characteristic required by an application being executed on UE device. The wireless station selects, based on the network slice data from the core network device and the network slice characteristic from the UE device, one of the slice identifiers for servicing the UE device.
