MOBILITY DETECTION FOR EDGE APPLICATIONS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

Various embodiments detecting wireless communication device mobility in a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, one or more Internet Protocol (IP) data packets associated with a wireless communication device are analyzed. The wireless communication device is coupled with the edge entity. A determination is made, based on the analyzing, that the wireless communication device is a newly coupled device at the edge entity. A central entity disposed within the wireless communication network is notified that the wireless communication device is currently coupled to the edge entity.

主权项

1. A method, with an edge entity disposed at an edge of a wireless communication network, for detecting mobility of wireless communication devices, the method comprising:
analyzing, by the edge entity, one or more Internet Protocol (IP) data packets associated with a wireless communication device, wherein the one or more IP data packets being transmitted from the wireless communication device through a core Internet Protocol network to at least one information processing system comprising data requested by the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device is coupled with the edge entity, and where the core Internet Protocol network comprises a public network and couples the at least one information processing system to the wireless communication network; determining, by the edge entity based on the analyzing and data within the one or more IP data packets, that the wireless communication device is a newly coupled device at the edge entity; and notifying, by the edge entity and based on the determining, a central entity disposed within the wireless communication network that the wireless communication device is currently coupled to the edge entity.
