Mobile Edge Computing in 5G Networks

Abstract

As we are moving forward in the fourth industrial revolution, the need & demand for everything at the edge of any network is increasing or we can say that we need "hands on technology". Mobile edge computing (MEC) in the 5G network is stepping towards it. The propinquity with customers and local network stations is a key factor to take off load from cloud stations which have to perform various real-time processes that could exercise the various problems. The 5th generation just popped in right, with it's faster speed we would be able to meet the demand of the MEC. From taking load of the cloud servers, to be in charge of data traffic MEC along with 5G is foreseeing next-Generation needs. The fundamental shift to cellular networks is epic, data transmission has become easier. We aim to achieve low-latency bandwidth, fast speed network, high data transmission in milliseconds, dense area coverage, mobility, cost efficient & quality experience for end users. It might open many opportunities for various companies, vendors & IT services as market value is huge but first we need to overcome many challenges. The requirement of flexible architecture, management, network bearer carriers, infrastructure, security, efficiency and most importantly connecting large numbers of users we have a lot to achieve. Future is virtualization by providing backhaul cloud storage and less computing, globalization could take place in MEC in coming years. In the era of IOT & AI, MEC promises to provide light weight devices, open source innovation by adding high value to business.I.
