This report introduces an approach for the definition and identification of key gaps in several initiatives. Based on the prioritisation of these gaps, the deliverable starts to address the work done within the relevant SDOs that need to cooperate in order to solve these gaps.
The present document will identify current activities in standardization and in research which are particularly relevant to PDL, with the goal of identifying applicable solutions, required enhancements and recommendations for further collaboration. As appropriate, activities of professional or non-profit initiatives will also be considered.
Members and officials of the ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing group and the 3GPP SA WG6 have just published a new white paper which aims to harmonize standards for edge computing. The white paper highlights the role of standards for edge when edge computing is deployed in conjunction with mobile networks. It also reviews the leading efforts in the industry and introduces a synergized architecture which leverages the ETSI ISG MEC and 3GPP specifications.
