标准2025推动互操作性据推进MEC的部署
今天，ETSI多接入边缘计算（以下简称MEC）行业规范工作组（以下简称ISG）取得了里程碑式的进步，发布了首套标准化应用程序接口（以下简称API），以支持边缘计算的互操作性。
五个ETSI的工作组规范分别是GS MEC 009, GS MEC 010-2, GS MEC 011, GS MEC 012 and GS MEC 013，为移动边缘服务APIs，应用程序生命周期管理、移动边缘平台程序启用、无线网
络信息和位置的API制定了通用原则。
MEC应用程序启用框架是一个通用架构，适用于旨在开放网络并将信息暴露给授权的第三方应用程序的每个环境。在整个行业使用独特的应用程序（API）架构，规范了制定人员在将应用程序与操作者系统连接时的常规做法，确保了互操作性。这在一定程度上促进了创新，加速了第三方应用程序的开发，使运营商能够进一步利用其网络投资。
MEC API规范指定了一组通用的API设计原则和模式，以及其文件指导。遵循这些规范可以确保API的一致性，这项工作受到TM论坛和开放移动联盟（OMA）以及目前在制定人员中使用的方式的启发。
该版本还包括两个关键的增值MEC服务的API：无线网络信息服务（RNIS）和位置服务（LS）。RNIS是向MEC应用和MEC平台提供无线网络相关信息的服务。这些信息可以用于优化现有服务并用于利用对无线电条件和相关事件的实时访问的新类型服务的输入。LS利用Small Cell Forum (SCF)开发的Zonal Presence服务，并且LS是在OMA规范基础上建立的。
关于ETSI
ETSI为信息通信技术（ICT）制定了全球通用的标准。ICT包括固定、移动、无线、航空、广播和互联网技术。欧盟官方承认ETSI为欧洲标准机构。ETSI是一个独立的、非盈利组织，组织成员包括来自68个国家的公司和机构。这些成员决定ETSI的工作程序，直接参与ETSI的工作。
ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing group releases a first package of APIs
Facilitating interoperability to advance MEC deployment
Today, the ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) Industry Specification Group (ISG) has achieved a major milestone with the release of a first package of standardized Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to support edge computing interoperability.
The five ETSI Group Specifications – GS MEC 009, GS MEC 010-2, GS MEC 011, GS MEC 012 and GS MEC 013 – address general principles for mobile edge service APIs, application lifecycle management, mobile edge platform application enablement, Radio Network Information API and Location API.
The MEC application enablement framework is a generic framework which is applicable to every environment aimed at opening up the network and exposing information towards authorized third-party applications. Utilizing a unique application enablement (API) framework across the industry ensures common practices and interoperability for developers when interfacing their applications with the operator’s system. This promotes innovation and accelerates development of third-party applications, enabling operators to further capitalize on their network investments.
The MEC API principles specify a generic set of API design principles and patterns, as well as guidance for their documentation. Compliance with these principles ensures consistency across APIs. The work was inspired by TM Forum and Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) work, as well as approaches currently used in developer communities.
The release also includes APIs for two key value-adding MEC services: Radio Network Information Service (RNIS) and Location Service (LS). The RNIS is a service that provides radio network related information to MEC applications and to MEC platforms. Such information may be used to optimize existing services and used as an input to new types of services utilizing the real-time access to radio conditions and related events. The LS leverages the Zonal Presence service developed by Small Cell Forum (SCF) and is built upon the OMA specification
