5GCroCo Lunchtime Webinar 6-1: Mobile Edge Computing/Cloud (MEC) Architecture (Part 1)

This webinar is based on Deliverable D3.2 on “Intermediate E2E, MEC & Positioning Architecture” Section 4.3 about Mobile Edge Computing/Cloud (MEC). The following topics will be covered:

• Related work as basis for proposed solutions (3GPP, Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC), Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF))
• Session continuity: 3GPP gateway switching
• Session & service continuity: 3GPP session continuity + discovering and switching MEC-hosted application servers incl. examples based on 5GCroCo use cases Anticipated Cooperative Collision Avoidance (ACCA) and HD Mapping
• MEC in context of cross-border / -MNO handover
• Joined management and orchestration of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and MEC-hosted Application Servers
• Deployments for controlled end-to-end QoS across multiple MNOs
• Overview of conducted and planned trials

This webinar will be done in two parts and Part 2 will follow on the 7 June at the same time.
