An edge computing entity manages an edge computing system. The edge computing entity has processors coupled to a memory, which, alone or in combination, are configured to execute a method. The method includes obtaining topology information of the edge computing system; and exposing the topology information to a network exposure function or a policy control function of a third generation partnership project (3GPP) system. The topology information includes a weight of each of a plurality of edge data centers in the edge computing system. The edge computing system belongs to a non-3GPP system.

Edge computing topology information exposure

An edge computing (EC) entity belongs to an EC system, and a mobile communication core MCC entity belongs to a MCC system, like a 3GPP system. The EC entity is configured to obtain topology information of the EC system, and expose the topology information to another network, in particular to a MCC system. The MCC entity is configured to receive topology information of an EC system from the EC entity, and provide the topology information to a network exposure function (NEF) or to a policy control function (PCF) of the MCC system.
