Abstract
A RAN node () receives, from a core network node (), a first identifier that is used by a service, an application, or an edge server () to identify a radio terminal () connected to the RAN node (), and associates the first identifier with a second identifier that is used by the RAN node () to identify the radio terminal (). Further, the RAN node () communicates with the edge server () using the first identifier. It is thus, for example, possible to allow an MEC server (or an MEC application hosted on the MEC server) and a radio access network (RAN) node to directly exchange therebetween a control message regarding a specific radio terminal.
