Network edge deployment of location based applications

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at a first server of a Fifth-Generation (5G) network, a location based application and metadata associated with activating the location based application;
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an indication that a user associated with the UE has activated a setting associated with authorizing location based applications;
• sending, based on the indication and by the first server, geofence data to the UE associated with one or more location based applications;
• receiving, from the UE and based on the UE being within a geofence based on the geofence data, a selection of the location based application;
• sending, by the first server and to a second server, a request to initiate the location based application;
• receiving, at the first server and from the second server, an authentication token associated with the location based application;
• and
• sending, from the first server to the UE, the authentication token to the UE causing the UE to receive data from the second server, the data associated with rendering content of the location based application.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a first server of a Fifth-Generation (5G) network, a location based application and metadata associated with activating the location based application;
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an indication that a user associated with the UE has activated a setting associated with authorizing location based applications;
• sending, based on the indication and by the first server, geofence data to the UE associated with one or more location based applications;
• receiving, from the UE and based on the UE being within a geofence based on the geofence data, a selection of the location based application;
• sending, by the first server and to a second server, a request to initiate the location based application;
• receiving, at the first server and from the second server, an authentication token associated with the location based application;
• and
• sending, from the first server to the UE, the authentication token to the UE causing the UE to receive data from the second server, the data associated with rendering content of the location based application.
