Abstract
A method performed by an MEC orchestrator includes: acquiring MEC computation-related information and User Equipment (UE) mobility-related information from an MEC system including a plurality of MEC entities, performing a classification procedure, based on the MEC computation-related information and the UE mobility-related information, to determine a behavior type of a UE, wherein the behavior type indicates whether to trigger a handover (HO) in the MEC system and whether to trigger a Virtual Machine (VM) migration in the MEC system, and providing an instruction table in response to the behavior type, wherein the instruction table including routing information for routing MEC traffic among one or more of the plurality of MEC entities.
