scope:

The present document focuses on identifying the MEC functionalities to support network slicing. It first analyses the relevant network slicing concepts as defined by external organizations. Next, it collects relevant use cases based on the identified network slicing concepts when applied in the context of MEC and it evaluates the gaps from the defined MEC functional elements. When necessary, the present document identifies new MEC functionalities or interfaces as well as changes to existing MEC functional elements, interfaces and requirements. It will also recommend the necessary normative work to close these gaps if identified.
