MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617071691 A) filed by Koninklijke Kpn N. V.; and Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Toegepast- on June 09, 2026, for Discovery Of Mobile Edge Application Servers.

Inventors include Toumi, Nassima; Shiferaw, Yonatan Woldeleul; and D'Acunto, Lucia.

The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling discovery of mobile Edge Application Servers (EAS) which follow the same or similar trajectory as a User Equipment (UE). For example, an Edge Enabler Server (EES) may be configured to enable a requesting entity to discover such mobile EAS for a UE. For that purpose, the EES may keep track of the trajectories of mobile EAS and match them with the UE mobility. To enable such matching, in some embodiments, mobility information may be included in profiles of the respective entities, with the mobility information comprising a trajectory identifier which identifies a trajectory which is, or is expected to be, followed by the respective entity. By enabling a mobile EAS to be assigned to UE on the basis of similarity in trajectory, there may be less need for Application Context Relocations (ACRs), which otherwise may run the risk of service interruptions and which may be expensive in terms of required bandwidth, storage, etc. Additionally, systems and methods are described for enabling discovery of mobile EES.
