5G World: Next Gen Networks architecture yields exponential video streaming gain

<p>Last month, 5G World 2016 brought together a number of telecom industry leading companies, including InterDigital, to demonstrate their latest work in making 5G a reality and enabling services to run over it. On the floor of the show, 5G World TV caught up with InterDigital Europe&rsquo;s Dirk Trossen on the latest innovations and 5G insight from the company. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In the video, InterDigital Europe&rsquo;s Dirk Trossen demonstrates and explains our Next Generation Networks platform, which provides a flexible routing solution (FLIPS) based on an Information Centric Networking (ICN) approach. The platform is a hybrid of pure ICN and IP, to leverage the best of both: re-introducing multicast, particularly for HTTP unicast scenarios, as a way to drive down bandwidth costs. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The technology has been developed in collaboration with other collaborators from the EU-funded collaborative research and development projects, <a href="http://ir.interdigital.com/Cache/1500086694.PDF?O=PDF&amp;T=&amp;Y=&amp;D=&amp;FID=1500086694&amp;iid=4103938">POINT ("iP Over IcN &mdash;the betTer IP") and RIFE (aRchitecture for an Internet For Everybody)</a>. In addition, FLIPS recently became ETSI's MEC Industry Specification Group's <a href="http://ir.interdigital.com/Cache/1500086605.PDF?O=PDF&amp;T=&amp;Y=&amp;D=&amp;FID=1500086605&amp;iid=4103938">fourth proof-of-concept</a>. &nbsp;</p>
