An important ingredient of fifth generation (5G) networks will be Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). MEC brings the computational intelligence of the cloud within the Radio Access Network (RAN).

The focus is on mobile edge services that can be used by applications for bandwidth management and access to user contextual information. An extension of Web Service functionality is proposed.
