An Extension of Mobile Edge Computing Bandwidth Management API

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a cloud technology that converges telecommunication and computing capabilities at the Radio Access Network (RAN). The paper proposes an extension to existing MEC Application Programming Interfaces (API) for bandwidth management. The proposed extension allows authorized applications to supervise bandwidth allocation to any session or application considering up-to-date radio network information. Description of information flows, data models and actual API definition is provided. Resource state models reflect some implementation perspectives.
