RESTFUL INTERFACES FOR MULTIMEDIA BROADCASTING
Abstract
The growing content delivery traffic becomes a challenge for efficient usage of network resources. Optimal utilization of scarce radio resources may be achieved by deployment of cloud capabilities in the radio access network i.e. by deployment of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). In this paper, we propose RESTful application programming interfaces (API) that enable third party MEC applications to send messages to end user devices in a specific geographical area. Using the API, an authorized mobile edge application may send a broadcast message to the network; monitor the delivery status of a sent broadcast message; and receive notifications about the message delivery status. The proposed APIs are described by use cases illustrating their functionality, data model representing the resources, and broadcast delivery status models as seen by mobile edge application and MEC server. Both models are formally described and verified.
