Abstract
The fifth generation (5G) mobile network technologies include ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (uRLLC) capability. To fully exploit uRLLC, distributed Multi- access Edge Computing (MEC) is being developed and introduced at the network edge with an architecture that supports applications and services. Some of the MEC applications will benefit from uRLLC, including virtual reality, augmented reality, education, health, online gaming, automatic manufacturing and Vehicle-to-everything. However, unique challenges and opportunities exist for 5G cellular networks and MEC due to a range of factors, including end-user device mobility and the implementation of the network Control Plane (CP) and User Plane (UP). In this regard, there is a need to optimize protocols and network architecture. This paper investigates latency and related network elements in the next generation mobile cellular network. We also analyze the 5G network latency in the CP and UP. Finally, the paper identifies protocol optimization considerations for MEC integration with 5G to achieve low end-to-end latency.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy (JTDE) is an international, open-access, high quality, peer reviewed journal, indexed by Scopus and Google Scholar, covering innovative research and practice in Telecommunications, Digital Economy and Applications. The mission of JTDE is to further through publication the objective of advancing learning, knowledge and research worldwide. The JTDE publishes peer reviewed papers that may take the following form: *Research Paper - a paper making an original contribution to engineering knowledge. *Special Interest Paper – a report on significant aspects of a major or notable project. *Review Paper for specialists – an overview of a relevant area intended for specialists in the field covered. *Review Paper for non-specialists – an overview of a relevant area suitable for a reader with an electrical/electronics background. *Public Policy Discussion - a paper that identifies or discusses public policy and includes investigation of legislation, regulation and what is happening around the world including best practice *Tutorial Paper – a paper that explains an important subject or clarifies the approach to an area of design or investigation. *Technical Note – a technical note or letter to the Editors that is not sufficiently developed or extensive in scope to constitute a full paper. *Industry Case Study - a paper that provides details of industry practices utilising a case study to provide an understanding of what is occurring and how the outcomes have been achieved. *Discussion – a contribution to discuss a published paper to which the original author''s response will be sought. Historical - a paper covering a historical topic related to telecommunications or the digital economy.
