    Abstract: An apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor for providing volumetric conversational service. The communication interface receives a signaling message, from a plurality of user equipment (UEs), indicating a capability of the UEs to process participant volumetric content. The processor is operably coupled to the communication interface and identifies a conference associated with the UEs for which volumetric processing is requested. The processor further provisions a plurality of media resource functions in edge application servers of edge data networks for processing the participant volumetric content from the UEs. The processor assigns one or more of the UEs to a respective media resource function of the media resource functions. Additionally, the processor instructs the participant volumetric content received from the UEs to the media resource functions. The processor instructs conference volumetric content converted by the respective media resource functions to the UEs for the conference.

    Abstract: A decoding device, an encoding device and methods for point cloud encoding and decoding are disclosed. The method for decoding includes receiving a bitstream and decoding from the bit stream a first and second frame that is associated with a delta index. The first and second frames include patches that represent a 3D point cloud at different instances in time. The method additionally includes determining, based on decoding the delta index, that at least one of the patches included in the second frame matches a corresponding patch included in the first frame. The method further includes identifying a predictor index for a current patch; identifying a reference index associated with a reference patch in the first frame based on the delta index and the predictor index; and generating the 3D point cloud using the first frame, the second frame, and the reference patch.

The method further includes generating a third frame representing a difference between corresponding points of the second frame and the decoded first frame. The method additionally includes encoding the third frame. The method also includes generating a compressed bitstream including the encoded first frame and the encoded third frame. The method further includes transmitting the compressed bitstream.
