METHOD AND APPARATUSES FOR BINDING AN EDGE COMPUTING DEVICE TO A COMMUNICATION TERMINAL FOR PRE-PROCESSING DATA

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication assembly (100) for pre-processing data before transmission to a core network (101), in particular a 5G core network, the communication assembly (100), comprising: a communication terminal (120), in particular an Internet-of-Things, loT, terminal for providing data, the communication terminal (120) comprising an electronic identity (121); an Edge computing device (110) providing network-related processing resources at an edge of the core network (101), the Edge computing device (110) running at least one Edge service (113, 115) configured to pre-process data on the network-related processing resources, wherein each, the Edge computing device (110) and the at least one Edge service (113, 115) comprises an electronic identity (111, 114, 116); and a binding channel (122) between the communication terminal (120) and the at least one Edge service (113, 115), configured to bind the at least one Edge service (113, 115) at least temporarily to the communication terminal (120) for pre-processing the data provided by the communication terminal (120), wherein the binding is based on the electronic identities (121, 111, 114, 116) of the communication terminal (120), the Edge computing device (110) and the at least one Edge service (113, 115).
