Utilizing Public 5G Networks for Multi-Access Edge (MEC) Architectures
As you’ll recall from Chapter 2, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) refers to architectures that exploit the opportunity presented by the convergence of two forces in 5G architecture. First is the prevalence of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) on commodity server hardware. Second is the fact that the User Plane Function (UPF) is distributed at the edge of 5G networks – as opposed to the centralized Packet Gateway (PGW).
MEC use cases we’ll review include online gaming, Computer Vision (CV), robotics, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and new techniques for video production at live events. For publicly accessible systems running on Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networks, ...
