1. A method for providing continuity for a service by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network system, the method comprising:
connecting, by an application client (AC) in the UE, to a first edge application server (EAS);
receiving, by the AC in the UE from the first EAS, data packets related to the service;
identifying a second EAS that provides the service at a location of the UE, wherein the second EAS is different from the first EAS;
transmitting, by an edge enabler client (EEC) in the UE to a first edge enabler server (EES) associated with the first EAS, information regarding a connection with a second EES associated with the second EAS;
initiating, by the AC in the UE, a transfer of application context of the service from the first EAS to the second EAS; and
connecting the service from the second EAS and disconnecting the service from the first EAS,
wherein the first EES and the first EAS are included in a first edge data network (EDN), and
wherein the second EES and the second EAS are included in a second EDN.
