Abstract
Embodiments herein provide e.g. a method performed by a network node (13) for providing an application to a user equipment, UE, (10) in a communication network. The network node (13) obtains location information indicating a location of the UE (10); and determines an anchor point for the UE (10) based on the obtained location information and a configuration of an edge connectivity service associated with the application.

A method performed by a network node for providing an application to service a user equipment, UE, in a communication network, comprising
- obtaining information indicating a location of the UE;
- and
- determining a second anchor point for the UE based on the obtained information and a configuration of an edge connectivity service associated with the application, wherein the edge connectivity service defines a connectivity service provided for the application to service the UE;
- upon determining a change of an anchor point from a first anchor point to the second anchor point, sending a request to an application server providing at least part of the application, for approval of a handover of the UE from the first anchor point to the second anchor point;
- and
- receiving an approval or a rejection of the request, from the application server.
