New Releases! - 5G Multicast Broadcast Services Transport Function (MBSTF)

We are very happy to announce the release of version 1.0.0 of the MBS Transport Function for 5MBS User Services.

Version 1.0.0 is the first minimum viable product release of the MBSTF that forms part of the 5MBS User Services. We are working on a separate release of the MBS Function which will control this MBSTF and act as the provisioning entry point for 5MBS User Services.

This release can be configured, via the Nmb2 reference point (MBSF <=> MBSTF), with DistSessions that use the PUSH or PULL acquisition methods for the SINGLE and STREAMING distribution operating modes.

The STREAMING distribution operating mode can only cope with live profile DASH manifests in this release.

A big thank you to all the contributors of the 5G-MAG Reference Tools. In particular the colleagues from BBC R&D: David Waring, Dev Audsin and Richard Bradbury. This reference implementation of the MBSTF interworks with previous work developed by colleagues from iTEAM-UPV: Borja Iñesta and Jaime Sanchez, with the support of Daniel Silhavy (Fraunhofer FOKUS and 5G-MAG Reference Tools Developer Coordinator).
