Summary
The 5G MEC BP is focused on deploying cloud gaming, HD video or live broadcasting services at the 5G network edge, to take advantage of the significant latency reduction brought by 5G air interface as well as mobile edge computing.
As the cornerstone of the BP, OpenNESS is employed to enable easy orchestration of edge services and network functions across diverse network platform and access technologies in multi-cloud environments. Besides, a couple of new components are also added to meet the requirements of cloud service providers (CSP).
