We will finish the 1st draft by the next week, and ready for internal review, then send it to the editor before we submit it for TSC review. Although there are many aspects regarding MEC telco and public cloud interfacing, we will focus on the telco edge and application enablers in this whitepaper. To help app developers to understand Telco concepts can be very challenging. We use the edge enabler layer to hide 3GPP standard spec, and provide telco APIs; the application enabler interface handles user requests and passes it to edge enabler northbound API. Topics like functional services and MEC infrastructure are essential for the current stage, inter MEC interfaces will be covered by another whitepaper.
White White paper discussion notes
Jane - showed functional block diagram slide with app enabler and edge enabler as separate blocks
- we can leverage ETSI MEC APIs in edge enabler
Jeff - can we add a layer inside app enabler that Akraino blueprints can use for interworking between them
Neal - would like to see draft diagrams posted
Jane - we need to cover 2 dimensions: architecture and how-to-build things (orchestration and management)
-architecture diagram slide is in work
