    Abstract: An apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor operably coupled to the communication interface. The communication interface receives, from an application provider, a signaling message for provisioning into a network-based media processing (NBMP) workflow manager. The processor assumes a role of the NBMP workflow manager. The processor also communicates with an edge configuration server and an edge enabler server in an edge network to determine functionality of edge media application functions in the edge network. The processor further provisions at least one media application function as at least one media processing entity in a workflow. In addition, the processor instructs a media source to provide content for processing to the at least one media processing entity and instructs the at least one media processing entity in the workflow to provide the processed content to a user equipment (UE).

    Abstract: A method, client device, and server for multipath data packet transmission and reception. The method for multipath data packet reception includes transmitting, by the client device, a message to the server. The message includes an identifier that is unique to a multipath transmission session and that identifies a group of two or more network access interfaces of the client device to receive one or more data packets from the server during the multipath transmission session. The method also includes receiving, by the client device, the one or more data packets from the server through each of the two or more network access interfaces of the client device during the multipath transmission session based on one or more characteristics of the two or more network access interfaces.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor for providing volumetric conversational service. The communication interface receives a signaling message, from a plurality of user equipment (UEs), indicating a capability of the UEs to process participant volumetric content. The processor is operably coupled to the communication interface and identifies a conference associated with the UEs for which volumetric processing is requested. The processor further provisions a plurality of media resource functions in edge application servers of edge data networks for processing the participant volumetric content from the UEs. The processor assigns one or more of the UEs to a respective media resource function of the media resource functions. Additionally, the processor instructs the participant volumetric content received from the UEs to the media resource functions. The processor instructs conference volumetric content converted by the respective media resource functions to the UEs for the conference.

    Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and computer readable medium is provided. The method includes receiving, from a media source, a request for media processing, where the request includes a requested media output. The method also includes identifying one or more media processing functions to perform the request for media processing based on information associated with each of the one or more media processing functions. The method further includes configuring each of the one or more media processing functions by mapping the request for media processing to the one or more media processing functions based on the information associated with each of the one or more media processing functions. The method additionally includes monitoring the one or more media processing functions while the one or more media processing functions perform tasks to generate the requested media output.

    Abstract: An apparatus for an application function (AF) includes a communication interface and a processor operably coupled to the communication interface. The processor is configured to receive, via the communication interface, network slice identification and media service identification across slices for a media service. The processor is also configured to manage a service corresponding to the network slice identification to a user equipment (UE). The processor is further configured to receive, via the communication interface, expected media service policy information from the UE. In addition, the processor is configured to identify policy information corresponding to each of the slices, respectively. The processor is also configured to transmit, via the communication interface, the policy information corresponding to each of the slices, respectively.
