Method and device for supporting edge application server in wireless communication system supporting edge computing

An edge enabler server (EES) in a wireless communication system supporting edge computing, the EES comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive, via the transceiver, from an edge application server (EAS) not configured in the EES, a registration request message including network slice information related to the EAS,
• select a user equipment (UE) to which EAS information about the EAS is to be provided and a method for providing the EAS information, and
• provide the EAS information to the UE based on the selected method.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting edge computing, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• transmit, via the transceiver, to an edge enabler server (EES), a request message including filter information related to an edge application server (EAS) to which a specific network slice not previously configured in the EES is applied, and
• receive, via the transceiver, a response message including at least one of network slice information related to the EAS or a data network name (DNN) from the EES based on the filter information.
