Abstract
Mobile network services are performed in a mobile data network that includes a radio access network and a core network. A breakout component in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation connected to user equipment, and hosts edge applications that perform one or more mobile network services at the edge of the mobile data network. When a breakout component is not running a needed edge application, and the needed edge application is running in a neighboring basestation, the breakout component can route the request for the needed edge application to the neighboring basestation via the overlay network. The neighboring basestation processes the request using the needed edge application, then returns the data to the original basestation via the overlay network. The original basestation thus maintains the subscriber session with the user equipment while offloading the work of the needed application to a neighboring basestation.
