The development of the mobile Internet has led to a shape increase in video traffic data. New Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technology can reduce network operation and service delivery delays, so as to improving the QoE (Quality of Experience) of user. In MEC environment, this article builds a simulation platform for multi-bitrate video caching and scheduling scenarios VECSim (Video Edge CloudSim). VECSim provides a simulation environment specific to verify multi-bitrate video caching collaboratively and scheduling strategy in the Mobile Edge Computing scenarios. Unlike simple numerical simulations and complex real-world deployments, VECSim provides a simple interface that can be called by the user, besides, it can be used to provide larger-scale, more flexible request scenarios which are closer to the actual environment. Based on the edge computing simulation platform EdgeCloudSim, this platform adds and modifies quite a few functions so that it can be effectively used in multi-bitrate video caching and scheduling scenarios, which now includes seven main modules: Server Management Modules, Network Module, User Mobility Module, Task Loader Generator Module, Video Storage Module, Edge Client Management Module, and Edge Orchestrator Module. With this platform, researchers can easily and quickly verify their video caching and scheduling strategies.
