8.4 Registration

23.5583GPPArchitecture for enabling Edge ApplicationsRelease 18TS

8.4.1 General

Registration procedures allow entities in the edge deployment to deliver information to other entities.

The following registrations are supported:

– EEC registration with EES;

– EAS registration with EES; and

– EES registration with ECS.

8.4.2 EEC Registration

8.4.2.1 General

An EEC performs registration with an EES in order to provide information that can be used by the EES in Edge Computing services. The procedure also enables initialization, update and removal of the EEC context information at the EES. The context may be further used for edge-specific operations or processing, e.g. analytics.

An EEC may be registered with one or more EESs on behalf of one or more ACs simultaneously.

8.4.2.2 Procedures

8.4.2.2.1 General

Following are supported for EEC registration:

– EEC registration procedure;

– EEC registration update procedure;

– EEC de-registration procedure; and

– EEC Context relocation procedure.

NOTE: In this version of specification, each registration procedure provides for registering a single EEC per UE.

8.4.2.2.2 EEC registration

Figure 8.4.2.2.2-1 illustrates EEC registration procedure.

Pre-conditions:

1. The EEC is authorized to access the EES for the purpose of performing registration and has received relevant security credentials as specified in clause 8.11; and

2. The EEC has received service provisioning information from the ECS, including information for accessing the EES.

Figure 8.4.2.2.2-1: EEC registration procedure

1. The EEC sends EEC registration request to the EES. The request from the client includes the security credentials received after successful authorization for edge computing services and may include a proposed expiration time. The request also optionally includes information indicating to the EES how the EEC expects to use the services of the EES.

If the EEC is moving to this EES from the purview of another EES, called S-EES, the request from the EEC may include the identity and endpoint of the S-EES and an EEC context ID that was provided by the S-EES to maintain continuity of the EEC context and to authorize EEC context relocation. If the EEC registration is being performed as part of ACR, the EEC shall not include the S-EES endpoint and the EEC context ID.

2. Upon receiving the request from the EEC, the EES validates the registration request and verifies the security credentials. The EES further determines whether the requirements that were indicated in the AC Profile(s) can be fulfilled e.g., without failing to meet the requirements of the already registered EECs, and reserves corresponding resources (e.g., for EASs).

NOTE 1: Resource reservation at EEC registration ensures that the EES provides services for the duration of the registration.

If the EEC provides in the registration request the EAS selection request indicator and based on EES local policies, the EES selects EASs providing the capabilities required by the AC Profile(s), reserves the corresponding resources, and provides the information to the EEC in the registration response.

If the EEC provides in the registration request a UE type, the EES may use this information to apply UE-type-specific local policies.

NOTE 2: Without any indication from UE (either EAS selection request indication or UE type), the EES handling is as per R17 procedure

Editor’s Note: This functionality is to be aligned with how a “constrained device” is identified by the EES.

3. Upon successful validation of the request, if the received EEC registration request contains an EEC context ID and a S-EES Endpoint, the EES performs an EEC Context Pull relocation (clause 8.9.2.2) from the S-EES. The source and target EES perform EEC Context handling as detailed in clause 8.9.1.

NOTE 3: Only a single EEC Context ID may be provided in the EEC registration request.

NOTE 4: In this version of specification, each registration procedure relocates a single EEC context.

NOTE 5: Step 3 is executed when EEC determines to change its connection from S-EES to T-EES and ACR is not required.

If the EEC registration request fails after the EEC Context Pull relocation, e.g., the EES cannot reserve the necessary resources while meeting the capability requirements of the existing registered EECs, the EES shall determine the EEC Context information stale and send a failure response with a corresponding cause.

4. The EES sends a successful EEC registration response, which includes the registration ID and may include a newly assigned EEC context ID. If the EEC registration request contains AC Profile(s), and the EES determines that the requirements indicated in the AC profile(s) cannot be fulfilled for some of the AC profile(s), the EES shall include the list of ACIDs of such AC Profile(s) and may include appropriate reasons. If step 3 was executed, the EEC registration response also includes EEC context retrieval result. The EEC stores the new EEC context ID and uses it if and when it registers with another EES. The EES may also provide an expiration time to indicate to the EEC when the registration will automatically expire. To maintain the registration, the EEC shall send a registration update request prior to the expiration. If a registration update request is not received prior to the expiration time, the EES shall treat the EEC as implicitly de-registered.

If the EEC context relocation status indicates that the EEC context relocation was not successful, then the EEC performs the required EDGE-1 subscriptions at the T-EES.

8.4.2.2.3 EEC registration update

Figure 8.4.2.2.3-1 illustrates EEC registration update procedure.

Pre-conditions:

1. EEC has already registered with the EES.

Figure 8.4.2.2.3-1: EEC registration update procedure

1. The EEC sends EEC registration update request to the EES. The request from the client includes the security credentials received after successful authorization for edge computing services and may include a proposed expiration time and AC profile(s) parameters, including new or updated selected EAS information.

2. Upon receiving the request from the EEC, the EES validates the registration update request and verifies the security credentials.

3. Upon successful validation of the request, the EES sends a successful registration update response, which may include updated expiration time to indicate to the EEC when the updated registration will automatically expire. If the EEC registration update request contains AC Profile(s), and the EES determines that the requirements indicated in the AC profile(s) cannot be fulfilled for some of the AC profile(s), the EES shall include the list of ACIDs of such AC Profile(s) and may include appropriate reasons. To maintain the registration, the EEC shall send a registration update request prior to the expiration time. If a registration update request is not received prior to the expiration time, the EES shall treat the EEC as implicitly de-registered.

8.4.2.2.4 EEC de-registration

Figure 8.4.2.2.4-1 illustrates EEC de-registration procedure.

Pre-conditions:

1. EEC has already registered with the EES.

Figure 8.4.2.2.4-1: EEC de-registration procedure

1. The EEC sends EEC de-registration request to the EES. The request from the client includes the security credentials received after successful authorization for edge computing services.

2. Upon receiving the request from the EEC, the EES validates the de-registration request and verifies the security credentials.

3. Upon successful authorization, the EES sends a successful de-registration response.

8.4.3 EAS Registration

8.4.3.1 General

The EAS Registration procedure allows an EAS to provide its information to an EES in order to enable its discovery.

If there is a change in the requirements or the information of an EAS, it uses the EAS registration update procedure to update the EES.

The EAS uses the EAS de-registration procedure to remove its information from the EES.

EAS registration at the EES can be time bound. So, to maintain the registration, the EAS needs to send a registration update request prior to the registration expiration time. If a registration update request is not received prior to the registration expiration time, the EES treats the EAS as implicitly de-registered.

NOTE: For registered EAS(s), the EES can request AF traffic influence for any UE, which is implementation specific.

8.4.3.2 Procedures

8.4.3.2.1 General

Following are supported for EAS registration:

– EAS registration procedure;

– EAS registration update procedure; and

– EAS de-registration procedure.

8.4.3.2.2 EAS registration

Pre-conditions:

1. The EAS has been configured with an EASID;

2. The EAS has been configured with the address (e.g. URI) of the EES; and

3. Both the EAS and EES have the necessary credentials to enable communications.

Figure 8.4.3.2.2-1: EAS Registration procedure

1. The EAS determines that registration to the EES is needed (e.g. the EAS is instantiated and started up).

2. The EAS sends an EAS registration request to the EES. The request shall include the EAS profile and may include proposed expiration time for the registration.

3. The EES performs an authorization check to verify whether the EAS has the authorization to register on the EES.

4. Upon successful authorization, the EES stores the EAS Profile for later use (e.g. for serving EAS discovery requests received from EECs, etc.) and replies to the EAS with an EAS registration response. The EES may provide an expiration time to indicate to the EAS when the registration will automatically expire. To maintain the registration, the EAS shall send a registration update request prior to the expiration time. If a registration update request is not received prior to the expiration time, the EES shall treat the EAS as implicitly de-registered.

8.4.3.2.3 EAS registration update

Pre-conditions:

1. The EAS has already registered with the EES.

Figure 8.4.3.2.3-1: EAS registration update procedure

1. The EAS determines that its existing registration needs to be updated (e.g. because the EAS’s status or availability schedule has changed, or EAS’s registration is about to expire).

2. The EAS sends an EAS registration update request to the EES. The request shall include the registration ID and may include the EAS profile and proposed expiration time for the updated registration.

3. The EES performs an authorization check to verify whether the EAS has the authorization to update the registration on the EES.

4. Upon successful authorization, the EES updates the registered EAS Profile and replies to the EAS with an EAS registration update response. The EES may provide an updated expiration time to indicate to the EAS when the updated registration will automatically expire.
