Method and device for managing identifier of UE in edge computing service

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for providing an edge computing service to a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, and more particularly, to a method and device for managing an identifier of a wireless communication UE so as to provide an edge computing service to the UE. A method includes receiving a first message via a mobile communication network from a UE of a mobile communication system, wherein the first message includes a generic public subscription identifier (GPSI) of the UE, and the received identifier of the UE identifies validity on the basis of a previously received profile of the UE; if the identifier of the UE is valid, binding and storing the identifier of the UE and a UE IP address based on the received first message; and if the identifier of the UE is valid, transmitting a first response message to the UE.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
