Edge Computing enables operator and 3rd party services to be hosted in EAS close to the UE’s point of attachment. The traffic to EAS can be routed based on the UE position and EAS availability "near to" that position.

The subsequent clauses describe the procedures for supporting Edge Computing in 5G System considering different connectivity models, including:

– EAS discovery and re-discovery.

– Edge relocation.

– Network exposure to Edge Application Server.

– Support of 3GPP application layer architecture defined in TS 23.558 [5].

– Support of AF guidance to PCF determination of proper URSP rules.
