CONTROL MECHANISM FOR SUPPORTING SERVICES IN MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An apparatus for use by a mobile edge control element or function, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to participate in a mobile edge computing based communication of at least one communication element in a communication network, to prepare and send a special data packet to a core network control element or function, wherein the special data packet includes, as a packet source indication, an address information of the at least one communication element and, as a packet destination indication, an address information of the mobile edge control element or function, to receive and process an enriched data packet being based on the special data packet, the enriched data packet including subscriber related identification data for the at least one communication element, to collect the subscriber related identification data from the enriched data packet, and to conduct a communication related processing related to the at least one communication element using the collected subscriber related identification data.
