Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments for determining a first motion-to-update latency of a mobile device in relation to receiving a video content update provided by a video content server. Further embodiments include, responsive to determining that the first motion-to-update latency exceeds a threshold: determining a motion-to-update latency of the mobile device in relation to receiving video content updates from a plurality of edge servers resulting in a plurality of motion-to-update latencies, identifying a second motion-to-update latency from the plurality of motion-to-update latencies that is below the threshold, identifying an edge server associated with the second motion-to-update latency, and transmitting video content to the edge server to mitigate the first motion-to-update latency. The edge server provides a portion of the video content at different time intervals to the mobile device and the video content comprises panoramic video content. Other embodiments are disclosed.
