In this paper, we design a computing, communication and caching scheme for edge caching-based video streaming in order to improve the network performance. Firstly, we optimize the system's energy efficiency and delay with the aid of network function virtualization. Then, a dynamic edge caching decision is developed, and based on Lyapunov optimization, an alternating resource optimization algorithm is proposed for allocating the optimal subcarrier and power resources, video caching and computing resources. Our numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms both the traditional caching scheme as well as the least frequently used (LFU)-40% regime, and strikes a compelling tradeoff between the energy efficiency and delay.
