Mobile Edge Computing Proof of Concept Accepted by ETSI
February 08 2016 - 8:30AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that ETSI’s Industry
Specification Group for Mobile Edge Computing (ISG MEC) officially
accepted the proposal submitted by the company and four other
collaborators titled “FLIPS – Flexible IP-based Services.” The
proof-of-concept is the fourth accepted by the ETSI group, joining
proofs-of-concept by China Mobile, Intel, Nokia and Telecom Italia.
The proof-of-concept, FLIPS – Flexible IP-based Services, is an
operator-based MEC application designed to accelerate delivery of
IP-based content and streaming media. FLIPS reinvents the approach
to IP-based services through the introduction of a software-defined
networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) enabled
network fabric.
FLIPS – Flexible IP-based Services was proposed by a team that
consists of InterDigital, Bristol is Open, Intracom, CVTC and
University of Essex. The world’s first IP-over-ICN-over-SDN
implementation was demonstrated by the proof-of-concept team as a
labs test of FLIPS on a significantly smaller scale in July 2015
within the EU-funded collaborative research and development action
titled POINT (“IP Over ICN – the Better IP”). InterDigital has been
driving the development of the flexible service routing platform
that underpins the proof-of-concept.
MEC is expected to enable the transition to 5G and is considered
a key enabler for Internet of Things. ISG MEC’s proofs-of-concept
aim to demonstrate MEC as a viable technology and are developed
according to the ETSI ISG MEC Proof-of-Concept Framework. The
proofs-of-concept will be evaluated against key performance
parameters for consideration in standard forums such as ETSI and
IETF.
FLIPS – Flexible IP-based Services as a ETSI MEC
proof-of-concept will be demonstrated three times throughout 2016.
The first large scale demonstration will take place at
InterDigital’s booth located in Hall 7 Booth 7A71 during Mobile
World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, Spain.
