Abstract
Based on control data (1002) indicative of a user engagement in a mobile edge application (1001) which is being executed on a source mobile edge server (201-203) of a mobile edge system (200) and on a terminal (130), relocation of the mobile edge application (1001) from the source mobile edge server (201-203) to a target mobile edge server (201-203) is facilitated.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving control data from an associated terminal, the control data being indicative of a reduced user engagement in a mobile edge application that is being executed on a source mobile edge server of a mobile edge system and on the associated terminal;
- and
- facilitating relocation of the mobile edge application from the source mobile edge server to a target mobile edge server based on the control data.
A method, comprising:
- determining control data based on monitored sensor data of at least one sensor monitored by an associated terminal, the control data being indicative of a user engagement in a mobile edge application that is being executed on the associated terminal and on a source mobile edge server of a mobile edge system;
- and
- transmitting the control data to a node of the mobile edge system for facilitating relocation of the mobile edge application from the source mobile edge server to a target mobile edge server based on the control data.
A node of a mobile edge system, the node being configured to facilitate relocation of a mobile edge application that is being executed on a first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system and on an associated terminal from the first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system to a second mobile edge server of the mobile edge system based on control data received from the associated terminal, the control data being indicative of a reduced user engagement in the mobile edge application.
A terminal, configured to:
- monitor user engagement in a mobile edge application of a mobile edge system that is being executed on a first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system and on the terminal and, based on said monitoring:
- determine control data indicative of a reduced user engagement in the mobile edge application, and
- transmit the control data to a node of the mobile edge system,
- wherein the transmitted control data facilitates relocation of the mobile edge application from the first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system to a second mobile edge server of the mobile edge system.
A system, comprising:
- a node;
- and
- a terminal,
- wherein the node is configured to facilitate relocation of a mobile edge application that is being executed on a first mobile edge server of a mobile edge system and on the terminal from the first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system to a second mobile edge server of the mobile edge system based on control data received from the terminal, the control data being indicative of a reduced user engagement in the mobile edge application that is being executed on the first mobile edge server of the mobile edge system and on the terminal,
- wherein the terminal is configured to monitor user engagement in the mobile edge application of the mobile edge system and, based on said monitoring:
- determine the control data indicative of the reduced user engagement;
- and
- transmit the control data to the node of the mobile edge system.
