Abstract
An information processing method, an apparatus, and a device, are provided. The method is executed by a first communication device, and includes: sending address information of an edge configuration server. The first communication device is an Application Function (AF) or a Network Exposure Function (NEF). Sending the address information of the edge configuration server includes: sending the address information of the edge configuration server through service information of the NEF when the first communication device is the AF, or sending the address information of the edge configuration server through service information of Unified Data Management (UDM) when the first communication device is the NEF.
Claims20
An information processing method, performed by a first communication device and comprising:
- sending address information of an edge configuration server (ECS) to a second communication device, wherein the edge configuration server is configured to provide an address of an Edge Enabler Server (EES) to an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) of user equipment,
- wherein sending the address information of the edge configuration server (ECS) to the second communication device comprises:
- when a third communication device initiates a subscription request to a Unified Data Management (UDM) to subscribe to the address information of the edge configuration server and an Application Function (AF) is authorized by a Network Exposure Function (NEF) to provision the address information of the edge configuration server, or when the AF subscribes to location information of the user equipment, sending by the AF the address information of the edge configuration server to the NEF through service information of the NEF;
- or
- sending, by the NEF the address information of the edge configuration server to the UDM through service information of the UDM.
An information processing method, performed by a second communication device and comprising:
- receiving address information of an edge configuration server (ECS) from a first communication device, wherein the edge configuration server is configured to provide an address of an Edge Enabler Server (EES) to an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) of user equipment;
- and
- sending the address information of the edge configuration server to a third communication device,
- wherein receiving the address information of the edge configuration server (ECS) from the first communication device comprises:
- when the third communication device initiates a subscription request to a Unified Data Management (UDM) to subscribe to the address information of the edge configuration server and an Application Function (AF) is authorized by a Network Exposure Function (NEF) to provision the address information of the edge configuration server, or when the AF subscribes to location information of the user equipment receiving, by the NEF, the address information of the edge configuration server from the AF through service information of the NEF;
- or
- receiving, by the UDM, the address information of the edge configuration server from the NEF through service information of the UDM.
An information processing method, performed by a third communication device and comprising:
- sending a first request to a second communication device, wherein the first request is used for subscribing to address information of an edge configuration server (ECS), or querying stored address information of the edge configuration server, wherein the edge configuration server is configured to provide an address of an Edge Enabler Server (EES) to an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) of user equipment;
- and
- receiving the address information of the edge configuration server fed back by the second communication device according to the first request,
- wherein the address information of the edge configuration server is obtained by the second communication device from a first communication device, and
- wherein the second communication device obtains the address information of the edge configuration server (ECS) form the first communication device at least by:
- when the third communication device initiates a subscription request to a Unified Data Management (UDM) to subscribe to the address information of the edge configuration server and an Application Function (AF) is authorized by a Network Exposure Function (NEF) to provision the address information of the edge configuration server, or when the AF subscribes to location information of the user equipment, receiving, by the NEF, the address information of the edge configuration server from the AF through service information of the NEF;
- or
- receiving, by the UDM, the address information of the edge configuration server from the NEF through service information of the UDM.
