Abstract
A multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform may receive an indication that a user device has downloaded a MEC application client associated with a MEC application and may send, to the user device, instructions to install a device client. The device client may transmit device information associated with the user device to the MEC platform. The MEC platform may receive the device information associated with the user device and determine, based on the received device information, performance information associated with the MEC application.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform, an indication that a user device has downloaded a first client associated with a MEC application and registered for use of the MEC application;
- setting, by the MEC platform, a policy that indicates device information to be obtained from the user device related to the use of the MEC application, wherein the device information includes a first type of data for which first collection is to be performed at an identified frequency, and a second type of data for which second collection is to be performed responsive to observed radio conditions, and wherein the observed radio conditions include radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) data values below a first threshold and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data values above a second threshold;
- sending, by the MEC platform and to the user device, instructions to install a second client for an information service, wherein the second client for the information service collects the device information, associated with use of the MEC application by the user device, according to the policy;
- receiving, at the MEC platform, the device information associated with the user device;
- and
- determining, by the MEC platform, and based on the received device information, performance information associated with the MEC application.

A system comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive an indication that a user device has downloaded a client associated with a multi-access edge computing (MEC) application and registered for use of the MEC application via a MEC platform;
- set a policy that indicates device information to be obtained from the user device related to the use of the MEC application, wherein the device information includes a first type of data for which first collection is to be performed at an identified frequency, and a second type of data for which second collection is to be performed responsive to observed radio conditions, and wherein the observed radio conditions include radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) data values below a first threshold and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data values above a second threshold;
- send, to the user device, instructions to install a second client for an information service, wherein the second client for the information service collects the device information, associated with the use of the MEC application by the user device, according to the policy;
- receive the device information associated with the user device;
- and
- determine, based on the received device information, performance information associated with the MEC application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors, the instructions comprising:
- receiving an indication that a user device has downloaded a first client associated with a multi-access edge computing (MEC) application and registered for use of the MEC application via a MEC platform;
- setting a policy that indicates device information to be obtained from the user device related to the use of the MEC application, wherein the device information includes a first type of data for which first collection is to be performed at an identified frequency, and a second type of data for which second collection is to be performed responsive to observed radio conditions, and wherein the observed radio conditions include radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) data values below a first threshold and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data values above a second threshold;
- sending, to the user device, instructions to install a device client for an information service, wherein the device client for the information service collects the device information, associated with the use of the MEC application by the user device, according to the policy;
- receiving, at the MEC platform, the device information associated with the user device;
- and
- determining, based on the received device information, performance information associated with the MEC application.
