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 ...

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 applicatio...
