Methods of identifying vae servers and related v2x wireless devices and servers

A first vehicle-to-anything (V2X) application enabler VAE server configured to operate with a communication network, the VAE server comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the first VAE server to,
• receive V2X message information per geographical area from a V2X application specific server, receive position information from a VAE client of a wireless device, wherein the position information indicates a position of the wireless device,
• identify a second VAE server based on the position information responsive to receiving the position information and responsive to the V2X message information per geographical area, and
• transmit an address for the second VAE server to the VAE client of the wireless device.

A first vehicle-to-anything (V2X) application enabler server configured to operate with a communication network, the VAE server comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the first VAE server to,
• receive a server continuity request from a second VAE server, wherein the server continuity request includes position information for a wireless device, and
• transmit a server continuity response to the second VAE server in response to the server continuity request, wherein the server continuity response includes the address of the first VAE server.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including program code to be executed by processing circuitry of a first VAE server, whereby execution of the program code causes the first VAE server to perform operations:

• receiving V2X message information per geographical area from a V2X application specific server;
• receiving position information from a VAE client of a wireless device, wherein the position information indicates a position of the wireless device;
• responsive to receiving the position information and responsive to the V2X message information per geographical area, identifying a second VAE server based on the position information;
• and
• transmitting an address for the second VAE server to the VAE client of the wireless device.
