1 Scope p. 6
The present document is a technical report which identifies SEAL functionality to support application capability exposure to general purpose servers or 3rd party IoT applications via IoT Platforms. Key issues and corresponding solutions necessary to ensure efficient use and deployment of IoT Platforms in the 5G network are included.
The study takes into consideration the existing work for Core Network exposure in TS 23.502 and provides recommendations for normative work.
