Abstract

Online video services are among the most popular ways of content consumption. Video hosting servers have a very high load every day, which we propose to reduce by migrating the application with the video content in demand to the local Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) server of the target. This makes it possible to improve the quality of services (QoS) provided to users by reducing the transmission delay. Therefore, an architecture has been proposed that allows, at times of increased demand for the same video content, to migrate the video service application to the edge servers of the network operator. To evaluate the performance of this approach, a mathematical model was developed in the form of a queuing system. The results of the numerical experiment make it possible to optimize the time of using local MEC servers to provide video content.
