Media Services beyond 2D: Use Cases


ABOUT THE REPORT

This is a report produced by the 5G-MAG Workgroup UC (Use Cases, Requirements and Opportunities).

Current version of the report: v.1.0

Date of publication: 6th May 2024


ABSTRACT

Mobile broadband is used today to distribute traditional audiovisual services to smartphones, home routers or connected devices such as set-top boxes (STBs). This includes distribution of live and on-demand streaming services to apps and browsers, experienced in a two dimensional (2D) format with some degree of interactivity provided within them.


This report presents a collection of use cases and high-level architectures, along with an overview of high-level requirements for media services beyond 2D, while subsequent studies might focus on the extent to which 3GPP and other media-related specifications can support these use cases.


The primary scope of the present document is to provide:

  • An overview of the evolution of media services beyond 2D;

  • A collection of existing and future use cases and services;

  • A high-level perspective on architecture, features and requirements
