5G-ESSENCE has just published two White Papers:

White Paper for UC1 (Stadium scenario): 5G Edge Network Acceleration in a Crowded Event in the 5G-ESSENCE Project

The purpose of this White Paper is to provide an insight of the current Edge Network Acceleration in a Crowded Eventand how the activities developed by the 5G ESSENCE Use Case 1 (UC1) can bring into life the Next Generation of content delivery. UC1 provides the logic for distributing the live video feeds received from the local production room to local spectators in a highly efficient manner. This White Paper presents a detailed description of the functionalities developed by the partners contributing to the testbed developed for UC1 and which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be used to evaluate performance. The testbed architecture is provided and mapped to the overall 5G ESSENCE system architecture as well. The UC1 activities culminate with the final demonstration delivered at the Municipality of Egaleo by early of October 2019.

White Paper for UC3 (IFEC scenario) : Next-Generation In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity Solution in the 5G-ESSENCE Project

The purpose of this White Paper is to provide an insight of the current In-Flight Entertainment and Communications (IFEC) system and how the activities developed by the 5G ESSENCE Use Case 3 (UC3) can bring into life the Next Generation (NG) of IFEC systems. This White Paper focuses on presenting the services that are being developed for this use case, creating context for them within the next generation of IFEC. Moreover, the White Paper positions 5G as the “technology enabler” for the next generation of equipment on-board aircrafts for civilian transportation, showing that the 5G ESSENCE general architecture provides the proper playground to develop advanced network services leveraging on Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). Therefore, this White Paper presents a detailed description of the functionalities developed by the partners contributing to the testbed developed for UC3 and which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be used to evaluate performance. The testbed architecture is provided and mapped to the overall 5G ESSENCE system architecture as well. The UC3 activities culminate with the final demonstration delivered at the premises of Zodiac In-flight Innovations in Munich by November 2019.
