According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method by which an edge enabler server (EES) of an edge computing system provides an edge computing service to user equipment (UE) comprises steps in which: the UE receives a registration message including available or currently connected core network (CN) type information or radio access technology (RAT) type information; a first network function (NF) device of a core network for providing the edge computing service to the UE is selected on the basis of the CN type information or the RAT type information; and a registration response message is transmitted to the UE, wherein, if the registration message includes the CN type information, one from among a first type for supporting a first CN, a second type for supporting a second CN, and a third type for supporting both the first CN and the second CN is indicated, and, if the registration message is the RAT type information, one from among a first type for supporting a first RAT, a second type for supporting a second RAT, and a third type for supporting both the first RAT and the second RAT can be indicated.

An apparatus and method for desynchronizing notifications across multiple electronic devices are provided. The method includes receiving, by a primary electronic device, a notification, transmitting, by the primary electronic device, the notification to a companion electronic device with which the primary electronic device is synchronized, and desynchronizing a providing of the notification at the companion electronic device.

In a service processing method, a capability exposure network element receives a first message from an application function network element, where the first message carries a terminal identifier and first network information of a first virtual network, the first network information includes a first virtual network identifier, and the first message is used to request to add a terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier to the first virtual network corresponding to the first virtual network identifier; and the capability exposure network element determines, based on the first network information, a first service management device serving the first virtual network, and sends a second message to the first service management device, where the second message carries the terminal identifier and the first network information, and the second message is used to request to add the terminal to the first virtual network.

A wireless communication network wirelessly receives a device Identifier (ID), network ID, and capability ID from a wireless user device. In response to the network ID, the wireless communication network transfers the device ID to the other communication network. The wireless communication network receives an authorization for the wireless user device from the other communication network. In response to the authorization, the wireless communication network wirelessly serves the wireless user device based on the capability ID. The wireless communication network transfers the capability ID used by the wireless user device to the other communication network in response to serving the wireless user device based on the capability ID.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a control method in an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing system, and may include subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS); determining an application context relocation (ACR) based on receiving a user plane path management event notification from the mobile communication network in case of subscribing to the user plane path change event for the EAS; transmitting an ACR request message to the EAS; receiving an EAS response message from the EAS; and transmitting an application function (AF) acknowledgment message to a first node of the mobile communication network in response to receiving the EAS response message from the EAS.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may provide a session request associated with establishing a proximity services (ProSe) session. The session request may include ProSe session specific information including information that indicates a ProSe service type associated with the ProSe session. The user equipment may receive a session establishment response after providing the session request. The session establishment response may include at least one of a ProSe session authorization indication associated with the UE, or ProSe policy information for the ProSe service type associated with the ProSe session. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A forwarding entry generation method includes sending, by a controller, a plurality of resource allocation request messages to a plurality of network devices in a network slice, to trigger the plurality of network devices to allocate resources, where the resource allocation request message includes an identifier of the network slice and a resource that needs to be allocated by a corresponding network device to the network slice; receiving, by the controller, a plurality of resource allocation response messages including the identifier of the network slice and a segment identifier of a corresponding network device, and a resource allocated by each device belongs to the network slice; and generating, by the controller, a forwarding table corresponding to the network slice, where the forwarding table includes a forwarding entry for arriving at a network device in the network slice.
