The following is the conclusion on the alignment of 3GPP Edge Enabler Layer, ETSI MEC and GSMA OP architectures:
-
CAPIF framework is aligned between 3GPP EDGEAPP and ETSI MEC architectures. An Edge application acting as a CAPIF API invoker can discover and invoke Edge platform services from 3GPP EDGEAPP, and ETSI MEC.
-
For Alignment of 3GPP EDGEAPP with ETSI MEC:
-
EASProfile and AppInfo are mapped for mandatory information elements. The mapping between EASProfile and AppInfo can be used for aligning EES and MEC platform and their interfaces in an implementation.
-
Using mapping between EASProfile and AppInfo, MEC application instance can register to EES by providing mandatory IEs.
-
3GPP EDGEAPP architecture and ETSI MEC architecture are functionally aligned.
-
For Alignment of 3GPP EDGEAPP with GSMA OP:
-
GSMA OPG specified edge computing related use cases, requirements (e.g. roaming, federation and edge node sharing) for Operator Platform can be realized by 3GPP EDGEAPP.
