1. An electronic device comprising:
a memory storing an application, an edge enabler client (EEC), a first identification information of the EEC and a user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) rule used for producing a session used by the electronic device;
a communication circuit used for a communication connection between the electronic device and at least one of a first server, a plurality of second servers, or a third server disposed outside the electronic device, via a base station; and
a processor,
wherein the application is configured to perform, in the electronic device, one or more services corresponding to an application executable in the third server,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a route selection policy (URSP) rule used for producing a session used by the electronic device,
identify whether a second identification information of an EEC is included in the URSP rule, in response to activation of the EEC,
set a first packet data unit (PDU) session based on configuration information of the first PDU session included in the URSP rule, if the first identification information of the EEC is same with the second identification information of the EEC included in the URSP rule, wherein the first PDU session is dedicated PDU session for performing an edge service,
perform a provisioning procedure with the first server via the first PDU session,
select a second server to access based on access information of the second server, the access information of the second server for accessing the second server and received via the provisioning procedure,
perform a discovery procedure with the selected second server via the first PDU session, and
perform, via the first PDU session, a service with a third server selected based on access information of the third server which is received via the discovery procedure, and
wherein the processor is further configured to perform a provisioning procedure with the first server via a second PDU session, if the first identification information of the EEC is not included in the URSP rule, and the second PDU session is default PDU session for performing the edge service and a non-edge service.
