Multi-access edge computing (mec) based multi-operator support for c-v2x systems

A device, comprising:

• communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network;
• processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory device including instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to perform operations to:
• transmit an authorization request for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to a V2X application function within a service coordinating entity, the request transmitted from the device via the first access network;
• receive V2X configuration parameters from the service coordinating entity, via the first access network, wherein the V2X configuration parameters are received in response to the authorization request and based on V2X subscription information received by the V2X application function via a V2X application programming interface (API) within the service coordinating entity;
• and
• establish a V2X communication link for the V2X communication with a second device based on the V2X configuration parameters, the second device associated with a second access network.

A device of a service coordinating entity, comprising:

• communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network;
• processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory device including instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to perform operations to:
• receive by a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) application function of the service coordinating entity, an authorization request for a V2X communication, the authorization request received from a mobile computing device via the first access network;
• receive by the V2X application function and via a V2X application programming interface (API) between the service coordinating entity and the first access network, device subscription information indicating devices authorized to perform the V2X communication within the first access network;
• perform authorization of the mobile computing device for the V2X communication based on the device subscription information;
• and
• based on the performed authorization, encode for transmission to the mobile computing device, V2X configuration parameters for establishing a V2X communication link of the V2X communication.

A method, performed by a service coordinating entity connected to an access network, the method comprising:

• receiving by a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) application function of the service coordinating entity, an authorization request for a V2X communication, the authorization request received from a mobile computing device via the first access network;
• receiving by the V2X application function and via a V2X application programming interface (API) between the service coordinating entity and the first access network, device subscription information indicating devices authorized to perform the V2X communication within the first access network;
• performing authorization of the mobile computing device for the V2X communication based on the device subscription information;
• and
• based on the performed authorization, encoding for transmission to the mobile computing device, V2X configuration parameters for establishing a V2X communication link of the V2X communication.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processing circuitry of a computing device, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting an authorization request for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to a V2X application function within a service coordinating entity, the request transmitted via a first access network;
• receiving V2X configuration parameters from the service coordinating entity, via the first access network, wherein the V2X configuration parameters are received in response to the authorization request and based on V2X subscription information received by the V2X application function via a V2X application programming interface (API) within the service coordinating entity;
• and
• establishing a V2X communication link for the V2X communication with a second device based on the V2X configuration parameters, the second device associated with a second access network.
