This book provides a complete and strategic overview of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). It covers network and technology aspects, describes the market scenarios from the different stakeholders’ point of view, and analyzes deployment aspects and actions to engage the ecosystem. MEC exists in and supports a highly complex "5G world" in which technologists and non-technology decision makers must act in concert and do so within a large interconnected ecosystem of which MEC is just one, albeit an important, part. Divided into three sections, with several chapters in each, the book addresses these three key aspects: technology, markets, and ecosystems.
Edge presence is viewed as absolutely necessary to enable the key use cases driving the need for the 5th Generation of Mobile Technology (“5G”). Among these are Tactile Internet, Interactive Gaming, Virtual Reality, and Industrial Internet. All these require extremely low latency for some application components. As a consequence, physical limitations (i.e., speed of light) prohibit the execution of these components in the traditional “deep” cloud. Another set of use cases that is likely to heavily rely on edge computing is “massive” Internet of Things (IoT) – that is, IoT where a large number of devices such as sensors send a large amount of data upstream.
