Abstract
Configuration data associated with data traffic of at least one user equipment at a geographical area may be obtained at a home public land mobile network. The configuration data may comprise a mapping of the data traffic to an identifier of at least one co-located public land mobile network configured to provide access to an edge application server at the geographical area. The home public land mobile network may cause routing of the data traffic to the co-located public land mobile network based on the configuration data.
Claims20
A device fem sing:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to execute the program code to cause the device to:
- obtain, at a home public land mobile network, configuration data associated with data traffic of a user equipment at a geographical area, wherein the configuration data comprise a first mapping of the data traffic to an identifier of a co-located public land mobile network configured to provide access to an edge application server at the geographical area;
- and
- case routing of the data traffic to the co-located public land mobile network based on the configuration data.
A device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to execute the program code to cause the device to:
- receive, from a user equipment, a registration request comprising a first mapping or a request for local area data network information of a co-located public land mobile network, wherein the first mapping is between a first single network slice selection information value of requested network slice selection assistance information of a home public land mobile network and a second single network slice selection information value of the co-located public land mobile network;
- retrieve, from a unified data management function of the home public land mobile network or a unified data repository function of the home public land mobile network, a second mapping of allowed network slice selection information or configured network slice selection information between the home public land mobile network and the co-located public land mobile network, the local area data network information, and a list of a co-located public land mobile networks per geographical area;
- and
- transmit, to the user equipment, of a registration accept message comprising the second mapping, the local area data network information and the list.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a home public land mobile network, configuration data associated with data traffic of a user equipment at a geographical area, wherein the configuration data comprise a first mapping of the data traffic to an identifier of a co-located public land mobile network providing access to an edge application server at the geographical area;
- and
- causing routing of the data traffic to the co-located public land mobile network based on the configuration data.
