Application: Application triggered setup of distributed anchor for edge computing (Patent ID: US20240073178A1)

The patent filed by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson describes methods for UPF re-anchoring in a network system, triggered by application requests from User Equipment (UE). When an application trigger is received, the system determines if re-anchoring the UPF closer to the UE is necessary based on application information. If successful, the initial trigger is discarded, and a new PDU session is established over the local UPF for that application.

The claims detail methods performed by network functions and session management functions for handling DNS queries and relocating UEs to different UPFs based on application requirements. These methods involve establishing PDU sessions, receiving trigger messages from DNS functions, selecting UPFs, releasing previous sessions, and informing UEs of DNS function addresses for subsequent queries. The use of Data network Access Identifiers (DNAIs) is also mentioned in the claims to facilitate these processes efficiently. Overall, the patent focuses on optimizing network functions to enhance the performance and efficiency of handling application triggers and UPF re-anchoring in mobile networks.
