Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing media content items within a content delivery network including an edge tier of servers located on mobile platforms served by wireless communication links of a communication system and at least one terrestrial tier of servers. An example method may include receiving a request for an item from a device within a mobile platform served via a wireless communication link of the communication system and identifying a mobile edge server located on the mobile platform. The method may include redirecting the request to the mobile edge server if the item is stored on the mobile edge server. If not, the method may include determining whether the item is stored on a first terrestrial server of a first tier of servers. When the item is stored on the first terrestrial server, the method may redirect the request to the first terrestrial server.
