The surge of mobile data traffic forces network
operators to cope with capacity shortage. The deployment of
small cells in 5g networks is meant to reduce latency, backhaul
traffic and increase radio access capacity. In this context, mobile
edge computing technology will be used to manage dedicated
cache space in the radio access network. Thus, mobile network
operators will be able to provision OTT content providers with
new caching services to enhance the quality of experience of their
customers on the move.
