ENHANCED MOBILE EDGE BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Abstract
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a cloud technology that converges telecommunication and computing capabilities in radio access network. The research and standardization activities for enabling advanced mobile edge services are ongoing with diverse challenges yet to be met. A key area is the development of Application Programming Interfaces (API) that enable application to acquire mobile edge resources and simply and efficiently to manage them. Bandwidth Management Service (BWMS) is a mobile edge service that enables all registered applications to statically and/or dynamically register for specific bandwidth allocation per session/application, and to get information about the configured bandwidth allocation. The paper proposes an extension of BWMS that enables authorized applications to supervise establishment, modification and release of radio access bearers and thus to manage dynamically the available bandwidth under current radio conditions. The proposed extended functionality is illustrated by information flows, data models and actual API definition. As a proof of the concept, resource state models are provides, formally described and verified.
