By stating that edge resource federation is crucial in future 5G ecosystems, we demonstrate an architecture, where a network operator can achieve the federation of access and edge resources owned by private third-party actors through B2B relationships. Through a Proof-of-Concept, we illustrate on-demand creation and deployment of network slices dynamically over multiple domains for live content services in a Stadium.
