Application Level User Traffic Control at the Mobile Network Edge

Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Multi-access Edge Computing is a promising technology that may satisfy the diverse quality of service requirements of 5G services. It brings the cloud capabilities for storage and computing in proximity to end users and thus it enables more timely reaction to dynamic network conditions. In this paper, we propose a new mobile edge service which provides functionality for user traffic handling. Using the service interfaces, an intended mobile edge application may shape, redirect or block user traffic based on information about radio conditions, user location, requested data speeds, etc. The new mobile edge service is described by typical use cases, data model, interface definition, and state models which are formally verified.
