Multi-access edge computing for neutral host cellular networks for supply chain management

A system for providing multi-access edge computing and content delivery, comprising:

• at least one cloud platform in network communication with at least one edge device;
• and
• at least one server node;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform includes a cloud platform domain name system (DNS) service, an edge DNS service, at least one cloud platform application programming interface (API), at least one cloud platform router, a cloud platform database, a node database, and a cloud platform storage component;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform is in network communication with the at least one server node;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to fetch node data from the at least one server node;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to receive a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from the at least one edge device;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to query the node database for a nearest node;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to execute the HTTP request using the nearest node;
• wherein the at least one server node is operable to create at least one cellular network;
• wherein the at least one server node is operable to deliver cellular network services to the at least one edge device through the at least one cellular network;
• wherein the at least one cellular network includes a neutral host cellular network;
• wherein the at least one server node is operable to connect to an internet of things (IoT) sensor network;
• wherein the at least one server node is operable to process sensor data from the IoT sensor network, thereby creating event data and/or condition data;
• wherein the at least one server node is operable to take an action in response to the event data and/or the condition data;
• and
• wherein the at least one server node is registered in a cloud platform global registry using an HTTP POST request to a global service address and wherein the cloud platform global registry is associated with the at least one cloud platform.

A method for providing multi-access edge computing and content delivery, comprising:

• at least one cloud platform in network communication with at least one edge device and at least one server node resolving a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform includes a cloud platform domain name system (DNS) service, an edge DNS service, at least one cloud platform application programming interface (API), at least one cloud platform router, a cloud platform database, a node database, and a cloud platform storage component;
• wherein the at least one server node is registered in a cloud platform global registry using an HTTP POST request to a global service address and wherein the cloud platform global registry is associated with the at least one cloud platform;
• wherein the at least one cloud platform resolving the HTTP request comprises:
• the at least one cloud platform receiving an HTTP request from the at least one edge device;
• the at least one cloud platform querying the node database for a nearest node;
• and
• the at least one cloud platform executing the HTTP request on the nearest node;
• the at least one server node creating at least one cellular network;
• the at least one server node delivering cellular network services to the at least one edge device through the at least one cellular network;
• the at least one sensor node connecting to an internet of things (IoT) sensor network;
• the at least one sensor node processing sensor data from the IoT sensor network, thereby creating event data and/or condition data;
• and
• the at least one server node taking an action in response to the event data and/or the condition data.
