Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
detecting that the UE has attached to a different cell site;
in response to detecting that the UE has attached to a different cell site, sending a second application service request message by the UE to the home network to which the UE is subscribed, wherein the second application service request message identifies the application and a current location of the UE;
receiving a second application service availability message by the UE that identifies a plurality of networks, where each of the identified networks provides access to the identified application executing on an edge computing node within the network;
for each network identified in the second application service availability message, receiving by the UE an application service figure-of-merit determined by that network based on at least one of a network latency value, a network jitter value, or a network throughput value associated with a prospective application layer connection between the UE and an edge computing node executing the identified application that is located in that network;
based on evaluating the application service figure-of-merit associated with each network identified in the second application service availability message, selecting by the UE a second network for connecting to the application, where the second network is different from the first network; and
establishing a second application layer connection by the UE via the second network to the application executing on the edge computing node in the second network.
