Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. A system for a user equipment (UE) comprising:
one or more processors;
a subscriber identity module (SIM) communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; and
memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
provisioning the SIM for a plurality of preferred telecommunication networks of a multi-network mobile edge computing (MEC) system, wherein each network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks are selected for inclusion in the MEC system by having an acceptable range of jitter and an acceptable range of latency according to an edge-computing requirement of an application loaded on the UE,
running the application on a first network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks, the first network meeting the edge-computing requirement of the application loaded on the UE,
having a workload associated with the application distributed among edge-computing nodes of the first network,
upon detecting a degradation in a service associated with running the application on the first network, selecting a second network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks based at least in part on a sensitivity of the application to changes in processing resulting from a handover,
running the application on the second network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks, the second network meeting the edge-computing requirement of the application loaded on the UE, and
having the workload of the application distributed among edge-computing nodes of the second network.
