Abstract
The present disclosure is related to support for simultaneous EAP connectivity in ACR. A method by an AC deployed at a UE for supporting simultaneous EAS connectivity in ACR includes: communicating with a T-EAS via a first connection established between the AC and the T-EAS before a second connection between the AC and an S-EAS is released, to trigger an ACT procedure between the T-EAS and the S-EAS.

A method by an Application Client (AC) deployed at a User Equipment (UE) for supporting simultaneous Edge Application Server (EAS) connectivity in Application Context Relocation (ACR), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) associated with the AC, a first message comprising a first parameter indicating whether the simultaneous EAS connectivity in the ACR is needed by the AC or not;
- and
- communicating with a target EAS (T-EAS) via a first connection established between the AC and the T-EAS before a second connection between the AC and a source EAS (S-EAS) is released, to trigger an Application Context Transfer (ACT) procedure between the T-EAS and the S-EAS.
A method by an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) deployed at a user equipment (UE) for supporting simultaneous Edge Application Server (EAS) connectivity in Application Context Relocation (ACR), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a first network node, a second message requesting the ACR, wherein the second message comprises a first parameter indicating whether the simultaneous EAS connectivity in the ACR is needed by an Application Client (AC) associated with the EEC or not;
- and
- receiving, from the first network node, a third message comprising a third parameter indicating whether the ACR is successfully launched or not.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- transmit, to a first network node, a second message requesting an Application Context Relocation (ACR), wherein the second message comprises a first parameter indicating whether simultaneous Edge Application Server (EAS) connectivity in the ACR is needed by an Application Client (AC) associated with an Edge Enabler Client (EEC) or not;
- and
- receive, from the first network node, a third message comprising a third parameter indicating whether the ACR is successfully launched or not.
