Design and Simulation of a Hybrid Architecture for Edge Computing in 5G and Beyond

摘要: Edge Computing in 5G and Beyond is a promising solution for ultra-low latency applications (e.g. Autonomous Vehicle, Augmented Reality, Remote Surgery), which have an extraordinarily low tolerance the delay require fast data processing very high volume of data. The requirements delay-sensitive Low latency, proximity, Location/Context-awareness) cannot be satisfied by Cloud due to between User Equipment Cloud. Nevertheless, beyond can promise ultra-high-speed caused placing computation capabilities closer endpoint devices, whereas encourages speed rate that 200 times faster than 4G LTE-Advanced. This paper deeply investigates characterizes it based on applications. As contribution, we propose hybrid architecture takes advantage novel sustainable technologies D2D communication, Massive MIMO, SDN, NFV) has major features such as scalability, reliability support. proposed evaluated agent-based simulation demonstrates satisfy ability respond demands with latency.
