Abstract

The 5G ESSENCE Project investigates the concept of Edge cloud computing and Small Cell-as-a-Service (SCaaS). One of the selected use cases is called “5G edge network acceleration at stadium”, which is focused on content distribution during crowd events. The paper describes the service VNFs and network services for 5G-based video production and video distribution into a football stadium.
