Tech Papers 2021: This paper explores creating 5G edge media solutions, covering edge architecture, MEC, hybrid cloud, network slicing, media use cases, implementation insights, and future challenges.
Abstract
This paper will discuss how to create effective 5G edge media solutions. We will provide a high-level overview of edge computing, key challenges for implementing an end-to-end media edge solution and benefits of such solutions. Media use cases impacted by 5G will be discussed. We will also examine the different layers of the edge architecture including the application and network layer integrated with far edge devices, MEC (Multi-access Edge Compute) and hybrid cloud environments built on a 5G network.
