Project description
Optimised video content delivery for 5G mobile users
The advent of 5G networks offers a new challenge for mobile network operators, namely the more efficient delivery of multimedia services. With this in mind, the EU-funded OPTIMIST project aims to develop a modular end-to-end service platform that will offer optimised delivery of personalised video content in 5G mobile networks. It will achieve this by designing and implementing various multi-access-edge-computing (MEC) services as virtual network functions (VNFs). The VNFs will be instantiated and optimised on the fly to construct a video service chain that meets the personalised requirements of 5G mobile video consumers. The project will provide one of the first worldwide implementations of MEC-enabled service provisioning in 5G networks that is fully compatible with the emerging global reference architectures.
Objective
The OPTIMIST programme sets the ambitious aim to develop a modular end-to-end service platform tailored to the optimized delivery of personalised video content in 5G mobile networks, providing one of the first world-wide implementations of MEC-enabled service provisioning in 5G networks that is fully compatible with the emerging ETSI/3GPP reference architectures. To achieve this, the OPTIMIST service platform will design and implement different MEC services, which are currently studied in an isolated fashion in current literature, (e.g. edge network caching exploiting edge storage resources, video transcoding and data-driven content popularity prediction exploiting edge processing resources, optimized video content placement and delivery exploiting the new 5G radio capabilities), in the form of virtual network functions (VNFs) that are instantiated and optimized on-the-fly to construct a video service chain that is designed to meet the personalized requirements of 5G mobile video consumers. To formalize the integration of MEC capabilities into the operation of 5G mobile networks, the OPTIMIST service platform will be fully aligned with the existing and forthcoming standardization activities in the areas of MEC and 5G networks (ETSI MEC and 3GPP); thus, maximizing the impact of the project in the long-term both in terms of academic results (new methodological tools and algorithmic innovations) and market products (deliver specific products / services that will enhance the portfolio of industrial partners). To this end, OPTIMIST will leverage state-of-the-art (SotA) technologies in MEC-empowered service provisioning, data-driven service control and automation, QoE-driven dynamic adaptive video streaming over HTTP (DASH), GPS-free localization and machine learning (ML) for wireless communications.
