1 Scope
The present document defines a framework to be used by ETSI ISG MEC to coordinate and promote multivendor
Proofs of Concept (PoC) projects illustrating key aspects of MEC technology. Proofs of Concept are an important tool
to demonstrate the viability of a new technology during its early days and or pre-standardisation phase.
The main objectives of the MEC PoC framework are:
• to ensure the PoC projects are scoped around relevant topics for ISG MEC that require from-the-field input;
• to ensure that the PoC results, lessons learnt and identified gaps are feedback to ISG MEC;
• to build confidence on the viability of MEC technology;
• to encourage the development of a diverse and open ecosystem by fostering the integration of components
from different players;
• to support standardization and industry promotion activities of ISG MEC.
This framework describes:
• The different roles and responsibilities in the PoC activity process.
• The PoC activity process.
• The acceptance criteria for PoC proposals and reports.
