Facility for Large-scale Adaptive Media Experimentation
In the last years a lot of work has been done to improve the 5G technology under many aspects such as the radio access, the edge architectures, the core, etc. However, as it happens quite often in the telecom market, most of the focus has been spent on high density scenarios such as big cities,
The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) concept can significantly improve the QoS of video streaming services; however, the computing resources at edge nodes are still limited and should be allocated economically efficiently, as both stated in the academic literature but also as we have experimentally validated in previous works, when we deployed heavy WebRTC workloads on
With the rise of Mixed-Reality devices, Mixed-Reality games and the infrastructure necessary to play those games have a crucial role when it comes to AR and VR capabilities. Gbanga was selected as one of the winning teams of the 2nd Open Call of FLAME to bring our AR game technology to Bristol Millenium Square. FLAME
Mobile DASH services using NFV in small cell networks is considered an approach for future multimedia services that request for high QoE standards. MoDASH offers a QoE orchestration solution for DASH streaming services over the SDN enabled FLAME platform. Our methodology includes a data offloading mechanism, which offloads video content to the EDGE server. Our
In this experiment we have created the Say Hello an application for festival attendees for creating and locally sharing mix-media stories using the FLAME infrastructure. Thus we successfully validated a proof of concept around social networks that are ephemeral (i.e. created only for a limited time), and local (i.e. participants are only included based on
The IMRA application aimed to enrich the viewer’s marathon experience, by providing personalized content on demand. Viewers in such events, are usually interested in one or more athletes. However, it is impossible to track their effort throughout the race. IMRA made this possible! The IMRA solution comprises of two parts: the IMRA app and the
The outcomes of FLAME’s second Open Call have been announced and seven winners have been selected. FLAME’s second open call requested 3rd party projects to create and explore edge experiences considering consumer’s desire for personalised, localised and interactive media content delivered through current and emerging human-computer interfaces used in outside spaces or between outside and inside
The FLAME second Open Call was announced last week at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona. Dr Monique Calisti, CEO of Martel Innovate and Impact Manager for FLAME, announced the Open Call in a morning session on November 14, 2018. The call will be open for submissions from 5 December.
