Technical Summary
This document explores the issues involved in the use of Edge
Computing resources to operationalize media use cases that involve
Extended Reality (XR) applications. In particular, this document
discusses those applications that run on devices having different
form factors (such as different physical sizes and shapes) and need
Edge computing resources to mitigate the effect of problems such as a
need to support interactive communication requiring low latency,
limited battery power, and heat dissipation from those devices. The
intended audience for this document are network operators who are
interested in providing edge computing resources to operationalize
the requirements of such applications. This document discusses the
expected behavior of XR applications which can be used to manage the
traffic. In addition, the document discusses the service
requirements of XR applications to be able to run on the network.
Working Group Summary
Perhaps “strong concurrence by a few” is a fair characterization.
The shepherd will note, however, that the WG is small, its scope is huge, and
the scope of this draft is narrow. For that reason, anything else but a strong
concurrence of a few with silence by the others is to be expected. In this
case, the shepherd does not view this negatively.
Document Quality
Extensive Last Call reviews have been done (and acted upon) by ARTART and TSVART.
Personnel
The Document Shepherd for this document is Stephan Wenger. The
Responsible Area Director is Éric Vyncke.
