Abstract
The present invention faces the issue of supporting edge cloud in an NG network. There is thus provided an edge cloud broker (ECB) and a method carried out by the ECB for selecting edge cloud resources of a mobile edge computing (MEC) network, the edge cloud resources usable by a UE accessing the NG network. This method comprises: obtaining, from a first network node of the NG network, a UE's location; obtaining, from a second network node of the NG network, an identifier of an edge cloud application that the UE requests; obtaining, from a third network node of the MEC network, a location of each one or more edge cloud resources available to execute the edge cloud application; and selecting, based on at least the UE's location and the location of each one or more edge cloud resources, an applicable edge cloud resource to execute the edge cloud application for the UE.
