1. A computing node to implement a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information service (VIS) in a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) network, the computing node comprising:
network interface circuitry; and
processing circuitry coupled to the network interface circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to:
detect a subscription request to an information service, the subscription request originating from a MEC application instantiated on a MEC host that is external to the VIS of the MEC network, and the subscription request including at least one filtering criterion indicative of an information-processing configuration of the MEC application, the information-processing configuration further indicating at least one or more communication protocols compatible with the MEC application;
forward via the network interface circuitry, the subscription request with the at least one filtering criterion to a plurality of computing resources, the plurality of computing resources configured as a corresponding plurality of providers of the information service within the MEC network;
decode a response message received from at least one provider of the plurality of providers, the response message indicating an acceptance of the subscription request by the at least one provider; and
encode an acknowledgment message for transmission to the MEC application via the network interface circuitry, the acknowledgment message indicating the acceptance of the subscription request by the at least one provider and activation of a subscription of the MEC application to the information service provided by the at least one provider.
