Demonstration of 5G-MEC assisted Location Services for Mission Critical Applications

Abstract

Advancements in 5G and edge computing infrastructure increase the need to deploy location-based services for mission-critical applications like Vehicle to Everything (V2X) and Intelligent Transport System (ITS). In this demonstration, we showcase the location service capabilities of our 5G Core (5GC), coupled with Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) for delay-sensitive ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (uRLLC) service types like V2X and ITS. We believe that this work will guide Mobile Network Operators in building a location assistance service system for emergencies and delay-critical applications.
