Claim 0:
1. An edge computing management hardware device comprising:
a generation unit configured to generate a virtual gateway for processing a data roaming process for another communication service provider in an edge computing cloud of a visited network (VPLMN), and the generation unit is to generate the virtual gateway by assigning access information related to the virtual gateway; and
a registration unit configured to register the access information related to the virtual gateway in the visited network for establishing a session for data traffic transfer between a terminal and the virtual gateway when the terminal accesses the visited network to use a data roaming service,
wherein the generation unit is configured to generate the virtual gateway by assigning a first Access Point Name (APN) address for the virtual gateway and assigning an IP address mapped to the first APN address, wherein the first APN address is an APN address in the visited network for the another communication service provider,
wherein the registration unit is configured to register the access information by:
matching the first APN address to service provider identification information of the another communication service provider and transmitting the matched first APN address and the service provider identification information to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) of the visited network for registration, and
transmitting mapping information between the first APN address and the IP address to a Domain Name System (DNS) server of the visited network for registration.
