Methods and systems for handling multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) in wireless network

Methods and systems for authenticating devices using 3GPP network access credentials for providing MEC services. A device is configured to receive MEC services from an EAS through 5G S A or NSA architecture. The device is authenticated by an ECS, which involves validating a MAC generated by the device. The MAC is validated using an edge authentication key, which is generated based on 3GPP network access security credentials of the device. The device is authorized by an EES to receive MEC services, which involves successful registration of the device with the EES and the EES providing credentials to the device for accessing an EAS providing desired MEC services. The EAS provides the desired MEC services to the device if the device provides credentials to the EAS, which are same as those provided to the device by the EES.

Methods and systems for authenticating devices using 3GPP network access credentials for providing MEC services

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for identifying edge application servers (EASs) to support one or more services of an application client (AC) running on a user equipment (UE). An AC of a UE may send a request for an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE to identify one or more EASs for one or more services of the AC. The EEC may receive the request and may perform an EAS discovery procedure to identify the one or more EASs. The EEC may then send a response to the AC including identifiers of the one or more EASs (e.g., if the EAS discovery procedure indicated that these EASs are available). Once the AC receives the response, the AC may connect to each EAS of the EASs indicated by the EEC to support a corresponding service of the AC.
