Abstract: Embodiments herein may include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system. An apparatus for MEC may include a communication interface, a local cost measurements module, and a service allocation module. The communication interface may receive, from a UE, a request for a service to be provided to the UE. The local cost measurements module may collect a set of local cost measurements for the service. The service allocation module may determine to allocate the service to a MEC host based on an allocation policy related to a cost for the MEC host to provide the service or a cost for a service provider to provide the service in view of the one or more local cost measurements. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A system configured to track network slicing operations within a 5G communication network includes processing circuitry configured to determine a network slice instance (NSI) associated with a QoS flow of a UE. The NSI communicates data for a network function virtualization (NFV) instance of a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) system within the 5G communication network. Latency information for a plurality of communication links used by the NSI is retrieved. The plurality of communication links includes a first set of non-MEC communication links associated with a radio access network (RAN) of the 5G communication network and a second set of MEC communication links associated with the MEC system. A slice configuration policy is generated based on the retrieved latency information and slice-specific attributes of the NSI. Network resources of the 5G communication network used by the NSI are reconfigured based on the generated slice configuration policy.

Abstract: Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases for verification and attestation of operations in an edge computing environment are described, based on use of a trust calculus and established definitions of trustworthiness properties. In an example, an edge computing verification node is configured to: obtain a trust representation, corresponding to an edge computing feature, that is defined with a trust calculus and provided in a data definition language; receive, from an edge computing node, compute results and attestation evidence from the edge computing feature; attempt validation of the attestation evidence based on attestation properties defined by the trust representation; and communicate an indication of trustworthiness for the compute results, based on the validation of the attestation evidence. In further examples, the trust representation and validation is used in a named function network (NFN), for dynamic composition and execution of a function.

Abstract: An architecture to allow Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) billing and charge tracking, is disclosed. In an example, a tracking process, such as is performed by an edge computing apparatus, includes: receiving a computational processing request for a service operated with computing resources of the edge computing apparatus from a connected edge device within the first access network, wherein the computational processing request includes an identification of the connected edge device; identifying a processing device, within the first access network, for performing the computational processing request; and storing the identification of the connected edge device, a processing device identification, and data describing the computational processes completed by the processing device in association with the computational processing request.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable storage media of a multi-access edge computing (MEC) component operating in a multi-access management services (MAMS) framework are described. In an example, traffic on multi-radio links between a user equipment (UE) and a network is observed. Based on the observing, the traffic is managed by transmitting messages of a traffic management application programming interface (API) over a dedicated reference point.

Abstract: A computing device (308) includes communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network (306) and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is to perform operations to transmit an authorization request for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to a V2X application function (312) within a service coordinating entity, the request transmitted from the device via the first access network. V2X configuration parameters are received from the service coordinating entity, via the first access network. The V2X configuration parameters are received in response to the authorization request and based on V2X subscription information received by the V2X application function via a V2X application programming interface (API) within the service coordinating entity. A V2X communication link (340) for the V2X communication is established with a second device (326) based on the V2X configuration parameters, the second device associated with a second access network.
