Method and system for edge network exposure function with MEC network

An edge network exposure function device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• store service information that includes correlations between portions of a radio access network and application service layer networks;
• receive, via the communication interface from a radio access network device, radio access network information associated with one of the portions of the radio access network;
• convert the radio access network information including removing one or more instances of the radio access network information relating to at least one of privacy or security of a network operator;
• select a first application service layer network device of one of the application service layer networks based on the service information;
• and
• transmit, via the communication interface to the first application service layer network device, the converted radio access network information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an edge network exposure function device, which when executed cause the edge network exposure function device to:

• store service information that includes correlations between portions of a radio access network and application service layer networks;
• receive, from a radio access network device, radio access network information associated with one of the portions of the radio access network;
• convert the radio access network information including removing one or more instances of the radio access network information relating to at least one of privacy or security of a network operator;
• select a first application service layer network device of one of the application service layer networks based on the service information;
• and
• transmit, to the first application service layer network device, the converted radio access network information.
