5G Media use case
• Ensure the Quality of Experience for real-time
multi-party 3D media applications
• Tele-immerse users with HQ 3D reconstructions
within shared virtual environments, including
immersive interaction spectating
Inmersive Applications
Virtual Reality
• Live video/audio streams from an event are
transferred to the broadcasting center
• Compressed, encoded and enriched at the
edge by virtual functions
• Journalist or spectator use app on
smartphone to connect to the 5G-MEDIA
network and send live stream to the
broadcasting center
• Network adapts accordingly requirements
and conditions.
• Deliver UHD content with and optimal
consumption of resources
• User in the 5G network experiment a
seamless personal media experience from
fixed video/audio device (e.g. at home) to
personal mobile devices (e.g. tablets,
smartphones)
• User-selected views and audio tracks from
live broadcast event
