The present document describes key issues and solutions for the phase 2 of the system enhancements for Edge Computing in 5GS. Edge Computing is supported in 5GS since Rel-15. During Rel-17 FS_enh_EC study described in TR 23.748 [4] , further enhancements for supporting Edge Computing have been studied, including discovery and re-discovery of EAS, edge relocation etc. 4 key issues from FS_enh_EC study have been concluded and progressed in TS 23.548 [3]. Some other issues were raised during the Rel-17 study but not studied due to the time limitation in Rel-17. This technical report will document the study of potential system enhancements for enhanced edge computing support, including: - improvements to roaming, to support access to EHE in a VPLMN (WT#1); - defining use cases that may benefit from exposure of additional data via the Local UPF/NEF including describing (on a high level) the characteristics of the data and data delivery to fulfil the use cases; investigating the solutions and their feasibility and suitability for improved network exposure of UE traffic related information to common Edge Application Server via Local UPF/NEF, such as network congestion status (WT#3); NOTE 1: XR/media and AI/ML services specific QoS information exposure are to be studied in corresponding study items with considering the same exposure framework as defined by this study. NOTE 2: This objective will look at the use cases and the data to be exposed but not at the actual UPF exposure mechanism or UPF-originated data, if/when already covered by FS_UPEAS. - investigating the potential need and solutions for supporting offload policies to match more granular sets of UE(s) without exposing operator-internal configurations to 3rd party AFs (WT#5); - investigating the potential need and solutions to influence of PSA-UPF and EAS (re)location for collection of UEs, e.g. in scenarios when UE(s) should use the same EAS and are not members of a pre-defined group (WT#6); - investigating potential impacts related to the GSMA Operator Platform Group work, and potential improvements related with 5GC and EHE being operated by different organizations (WT#7); - investigating the potential need and solutions to avoid the UE to switch the EC traffic away from the EC PDU Session and 5GS altogether, due to conflicting connectivity preferences in the device (e.g. via means outside of 3GPP connectivity, e.g. non-integrated Wifi) (WT#8); - investigating the potential solutions for the AF to be able to obtain/determine the DNAI that is associated to a certain selected EAS, for subsequent use with already defined services provided to the AF (WT#9).

It is necessary to transfer between entities of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information specific to the PLMN in order to deal with the specific behaviour of roaming Mobile Stations (MS)s. The Signalling System No. 7 specified by CCITT is used to transfer this information. The present document describes the requirements for the signalling system and the procedures needed at the application level in order to fulfil these signalling needs. Clauses 1 to 6 are related to general aspects such as terminology, mobile network configuration and other protocols required by MAP. MAP consists of a set of MAP services that are provided to MAP service-users by a MAP service-provider. Figure 1.1/1: Modelling principles Clauses 7 to 13A of the present document describe the MAP services. Clauses 14 to 17 define the MAP protocol specification and the behaviour of service provider (protocol elements to be used to provide MAP services, mapping on to TC service primitives, abstract syntaxes, etc.). Clauses 18 to 25 describe the MAP user procedures that make use of MAP services. The present document specifies functions, procedures and information which apply to GERAN Iu mode.

Study on security impacts of virtualisation
TR
18.0.0
S3
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/33_series/33.848/33848-i00.zip
The present document considers the consequences of virtualisation on 3GPP architectures, in order to identify threats and subsequent security requirements. 3GPP function security relies on the underlying implementation technology and physical environment being secure. In legacy deployments, physical rack security and separation implicitly provides underlying security. Many legacy physical security requirements are not formally documented in 3GPP standards and rely on proprietary domain knowledge by 3GPP operators and manufacturers. Legacy core network security models also assume that threats primarily apply at the edge of the function or network only, where the network or physical network functions are exposed by external interfaces. To provide equivalent security in virtualised deployments, the underlying infrastructure needs to provide minimum security capabilities, in a standardized form, which can be requested and or consumed at the 3GPP layer. This is necessary since virtual functions need to co-exist in shared virtualisation environments and the legacy physical security models do not address the new threat vectors introduced by virtualisation. While a number of the key issues identified in the present document may not necessarily fully be within the scope of 3GPP to resolve, in order to implement 3GPP functions securely, it is necessary for 3GPP to set requirements that may be addressed outside 3GPP. The present document identifies security requirements which need to be addressed outside of 3GPP in order for 3GPP to specify fully secure virtualised 3GPP functions. The present document identifies extensions to 3GPP security capabilities which are required to provide direct, explicit, security visibility of the underlying virtualised infrastructure platform to the 3GPP layer. It also identifies extensions to 3GPP functions to make use of such capabilities. The wider requirements captured within the present document are intended to allow external groups such as ETSI or open-source groups to develop any necessary capabilities and fill identified standardization gaps. Identification of requirements for the standardization of the overall security framework (e.g. top to bottom, 3GPP, NFVI, hardware, SDN) and minimum-security capabilities which should be used by a virtualised implementation to meet Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) or other regulatory requirements are outside the scope of the present document. Since there is no single approach to virtualisation, the security threats and risks will vary depending on the deployment use case and virtualisation technology choices. The present document considers both virtualisation threats and risks, that apply to specific implementations (e.g. Virtual Machine or Container based) and more generic threat and risks that apply in all use cases.
