[{"name":"S2-1901415","title":"LS from ETSI ISG MEC: Information on MEC work on 5G","source":"ETSI ISG MEC","contact":"Alex Reznik","contact-id":66457,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Action","abstract":"ETSI ISG MEC (Industry Specification Group for Multi-access Edge Computing) is the home of technical standards for edge computing. The group has already published a set of specifications focusing on management and orchestration (MANO) of MEC applications, application enablement API framework, service Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and the User Equipment (UE) application API. For your consideration, the list of the specifications that have been completed in ETSI ISG MEC is published by ETSI and available at the following link: http:\/\/www.etsi.org\/technologies-clusters\/technologies\/multi-access-edge-computing. Furthermore, support for edge computing is a feature in 5G system (23.501), and SA WG5 has recently started a Study on the management aspects of edge computing (28.803). Accordingly, we would like to call your attention to the following: - ETSI white paper has been recently published on 'MEC in 5G networks'. The paper is illustrating and explaining ways to deploy and integrate MEC in the 5G system. The emphasis of the document is on the opportunities for MEC to benefit from the edge computing enablers of the 5G system specification, and for 3GPP ecosystem to benefit from the MEC system and its APIs as a set of complementary capabilities to enable applications and services environments in the edge of mobile networks Link here: https:\/\/www.etsi.org\/images\/files\/ETSIWhitePapers\/etsi_wp28_mec_in_5G_FINAL.pdf - ETSI ISG MEC has started a Work Item (DGR\/MEC-0031) on 'MEC 5G integration'. The deliverable produced will document the key issues and solutions for MEC integration in 5G networks. It will be a technical report, identifying also possible gaps and any missing functionality. Link here: https:\/\/portal.etsi.org\/webapp\/WorkProgram\/Report_WorkItem.asp?WKI_ID=56729. Action: The ETSI ISG MEC kindly requests 3GPP to consider the provided references in their work on Edge Computing.","secretary_remarks":"Postponed S2-1900038 from S2#130.

{"name":"S2-1901443","title":"LS from SA WG6: LS on D2D enabler for public safety communications in 5GS","source":"SA WG6","contact":"William Janky","contact-id":71830,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Information","abstract":"The Proximity-based services (ProSe) \/ Device-to-device (D2D) feature is very important for enabling indoor and outdoor off-network communications for Mission Critical services. Particularly for voice communication, the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) has previously defined that mission critical voice, such as MCPTT, must include direct mode, off-network capability or it cannot be considered for mission critical use ('Mission Critical Voice Communications Requirements for Public Safety', August 2011). In addition to voice operation, off-network capabilities for data are also required, for example to be used in rail communication when exchanging data for train safety purposes. As part of the ongoing study of FS_MCOver5GS, SA WG6 is currently analysing the key issues for enabling Mission Critical services over 5GS. It has identified that direct mode, D2D, communication mechanisms, including UE-to-Network Relay, are lacking in 5GS, creating a significant gap to enable Mission Critical services over 5GS. Without the ability to communicate off-network, 5GS does not provide all required functionality to support public safety as well as rail communications. SA WG6 delegates believe that the lack of support of D2D in 5GS will make it impossible to support Mission Critical services in all operational conditions, particularly those encountered on a daily basis by public safety First Responders. For that reason addition of support of the D2D enabler in 5GS, including UE-to-Network Relay, is essential in allowing Mission Critical users to benefit from full 5GS deployments. SA WG6 would like to understand the plans for adding these capabilities to 5GS to allow mission critical deployments to evolve in step with commercial deployments.","secretary_remarks":"Noted","agenda_item_sort_order":6,"ainumber":"4.1","ainame":"Common issues and Incoming LSs","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":10070,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2019-02-05 10:23:58","uploaded":"2019-02-05 10:27:18","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"Rel-16","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"TSG SA, TSG RAN","Cc":"SA WG2","lsoriginalls":"S6-190280","lsreply":"","link":"http:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/tsg_sa\/WG2_Arch\/TSGS2_131_Tenerife\/Docs\/S2-1901443.zip","group":"S2","meeting":"S2-131","year":2019,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0},
