Radio network information provided at the edge of the mobile network may be useful for applications aimed at optimization of network resource usage. In this paper, we study the deployment of mobile edge Radio Network Information Service (RNIS) in multi-access edge environment. The RNIS functionality is mapped onto S1 Application Protocol functions. The research focuses on handover procedures. Models representing the handover state, as seen by a mobile edge application, source and target eNodeBs, are proposed, formally described and verified.
