Claims

A method for wireless communication in user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
Sending a request for edge information to an edge server of an edge data network via a wireless communication network, the step of:
the request includes at least a first indication of a first geographical area in which the UE is currently located and a second indication of a second geographical area in which the UE is expected to be located in the future; and,
receiving a response from the edge server providing a set of edge data network configurations and, for each edge data network configuration, an associated geographic area of operation for the edge data network configuration ;
The second geographical area in which the UE is expected to be located in the future includes a geographical point, a polygon associated with the location of the UE, a configured route of the UE, a signaling map of the UE, A method based at least in part on one or more of the UE's waypoint set, or any combination thereof .

the first indication of the first geographical area and the second indication of the second geographical area are both included in the same request message, or
the request for edge information includes a first request message and a second request message;
the first request message includes the first indication of the first geographic area;
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second request message includes the second indication of the second geographic area .

The set of edge data network configurations is one or more of a first edge configuration server associated with the first geographic area or a second edge configuration server associated with the second geographic area. Contains connection information for multiple Edge configuration servers, including
communicating with the first edge configuration server in the first geographic area;
determining that the UE has moved to the second geographic area;
communicating with the second edge configuration server in response to the determination;
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising :

The set of edge data network configurations is one of a first edge application server instance associated with the first geographic area or a second edge application server instance associated with the second geographic area. or including information for multiple edge application server instances, including multiple;
communicating with the first edge application server instance in the first geographic area;
determining that the UE has moved to the second geographic area;
communicating with the second edge application server instance in response to the determination;
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising :

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request for edge information comprises a plurality of information elements, including at least a first information element for a geographic area of operation indicative of one or more geographic areas.

The geographical area of operation of each of the edge data network configurations may be a geographical point, a polygon, a portion of a configured route of the UE, a portion of a signaling map of the UE, a set of waypoints of the UE. provided as a waypoint, or one or more of any combination thereof , or
the edge server is part of a base station of the wireless communication network, or
the request is generated at an edge enabler client in the UE and sent to an edge configuration server via an EDGE-4 interface provided by the wireless communication network;
the response is received at the edge enabler client from the edge configuration server via the EDGE-4 interface, or
the request is generated at an edge enabler client in the UE and sent to an edge enabler server via an EDGE-1 interface provided by the wireless communication network;
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the response is received at the edge enabler client from the edge enabler server via the EDGE-1 interface .

A method for wireless communication in a network node of an edge data network, the method comprising:
Receiving a request for edge information from a user equipment (UE) via a wireless communication network, the step of:
the request includes at least a first indication of a first geographical area in which the UE is currently located and a second indication of a second geographical area in which the UE is expected to be located in the future; and,
transmitting a response to the UE providing a set of edge data network configurations and, for each edge data network configuration, an associated geographic area of operation for the edge data network configuration ;
The second geographical area in which the UE is expected to be located in the future includes a geographical point, a polygon associated with the location of the UE, a configured route of the UE, a signaling map of the UE, A method based at least in part on one or more of the UE's waypoint set, or any combination thereof .

the first indication of the first geographical area and the second indication of the second geographical area are both included in the same request message, or
the request for edge information includes a first request message and a second request message;
the first request message includes the first indication of the first geographic area;
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second request message includes the second indication of the second geographic area .

The set of edge data network configurations is one or more of a first edge configuration server associated with the first geographic area or a second edge configuration server associated with the second geographic area. Contains connection information for multiple Edge configuration servers, including
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising configuring the first edge configuration server and the second edge configuration server using context information of the UE.

The set of edge data network configurations is one of a first edge application server instance associated with the first geographic area or a second edge application server instance associated with the second geographic area. or including information for multiple edge application server instances, including multiple;
a first edge application server for providing the first edge application server instance for the UE; or a second edge application server for providing the second edge application server instance for the UE. 8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising configuring one or more of the .

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the request for edge information comprises a plurality of information elements, including at least a first information element for a geographic area of operation indicative of one or more geographic areas.

The geographical area of operation of each of the edge data network configurations may be a geographical point, a polygon, a portion of a configured route of the UE, a portion of a signaling map of the UE, a set of waypoints of the UE. provided as one or more of a waypoint, or any combination thereof , or
the network node is part of a base station of the wireless communication network;
the request is generated at an edge enabler client in the UE and received at an edge configuration server via an EDGE-4 interface provided by the wireless communication network;
