3GPP TS 23.558 [2] has specified the application layer architecture, requirements, procedures, information flows and the APIs, in order to support the edge applications over the 3GPP systems. Various features are defined to ensure the efficient use and deployment of edge applications, some of which include, registration, discovery, service provisioning, capability exposure and support for service continuity.

The present document specifies the north-bound APIs in detail, needed to support the services offered by EES and ECS over EDGE-3/6/9 interfaces for enabling the edge applications over 3GPP network.
