Open Access to Intersystem Handover Control Using Multi-access Edge Computing

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a cloud technology that places storage and computing resources at the edge of the mobile network. The MEC platform provides services for radio network information, bandwidth management and device location. In this paper, we propose a new mobile edge service that enables 3rd party control on intersystem handover. The proposed service allows authorized applications to initiate device pre-registration in the target access network and then based on application-specific policy to initiate intersystem handover. Description of information flows, data models and actual interface definition are provided. Handover state models consider some implementation issues.
