Abstract

An architecture to allow the spatial separation of information sources, information processing, and information consumption using objects and tags, including in mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC) communication environments, is disclosed. In an example, a request for information provided to a network entity (such as a MEC entity) results in the receipt of an object and a tag, as a device operates in an operational area of an information service. The object provides data for the information service, and the tag provides the metadata related to a context of the information service and the object from another entity, for another entity located within the operational area of the location service. The use of this object, including in the form of an application, data, or user object type, allows a transfer and use of data and context for the information service that is independent from the access network.
