The present disclosure relates to a communication technique which combines a 5G communication system, for supporting a higher data transmission rate than 4G systems, with IoT technology, and a system for same. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) including an edge enabler client in a wireless communication system is provided, which includes transmitting, to an edge data network configuration server, a provisioning request message using a URI address of the edge data network configuration server; and receiving, from the edge data network configuration server, a provisioning response message. The provisioning response message includes EDN connection information including at least one of a DNN or an APN and information on at least one edge enabler server including an address of the at least one edge enabler server.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network device name management involves at a cloud server, determining a device name of a network device to be deployed at a customer site based on site survey result information of the customer site, at the cloud server, receiving network device information of the network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, associating the device name of the network device with the network device information of the network device.

A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: assign, within a first wireless network, an access point name (APN) to a first gateway for a shared network. The first wireless network includes the first gateway. A second wireless network includes a second gateway for the shared network, and the second gateway is assigned the APN within the second network.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique which combines a 5G communication system, for supporting a higher data transmission rate than 4G systems, with IoT technology, and a system for same. The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to: an application layer network structure which provides an edge computing service in a cellular wireless communication system (5G system); and a method for same. A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for a terminal to acquire edge data network setting information in order to receive an edge computing service in a wireless communication system, and includes: a step for transmitting an initial provisioning request message to an edge data network configuration server; and a step for receiving, from the edge data network configuration server, an initial provisioning response message including information about an edge data network, wherein the initial provisioning request message may include a URI address of the edge data network configuration server.

A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: assign, within a first wireless network, an access point name (APN) to a first gateway for a shared network. The first wireless network includes the first gateway. A second wireless network includes a second gateway for the shared network, and the second gateway is assigned the APN within the second network.

Techniques for optimizing segment routing (SR) paths using segment identifiers (SIDs) are disclosed, including determining a packet is to be sent from a first node to a second node of a network using an SR method. The techniques may also include determining a segment quantization factor that is representative of a first number of SIDs that are included in a segment quantization interval. Based at least in part on the segment quantization factor and a cost constraint, an SR path defined by a second number of SIDs to send the packet may be determined. The second number of SIDs may be associated with maximizing the SIDs included in individual ones of segment quantization intervals. The techniques further include modifying the packet to include at least the second number of SIDs and causing the packet to flow from the first node to the second node via the SR path.
