5GCroCo Lunchtime Webinar 6-2: Mobile Edge Computing/Cloud (MEC) Architecture (Part 2)

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 will follow on from where Part 1 (held on the 31 May) stopped.  You can review Part 1 here.

Speaker Bio: 

Maciej Muehleisen received his PhD on “Voice over LTE” from RWTH Aachen University in 2015 and worked as a group leader for vehicular communication at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) from 2012 until 2016 focusing on highly reliable aircraft and maritime networks.

He is with Ericsson Research since 2017 and leads the architecture work package of the EU funded 5GCroCo projects on 5G for CCAM in cross-border environments. where he also serves as deputy Technical Coordinator. As “Industry Verticals Coordination” in the Research Area “Networks” he is furthermore supporting the technical coordination of Ericsson’s efforts in the Automotive Edge Computing Association (AECC) and 5G Automotive Association (5GAA).

His key research interest is in end-to-end design, evaluation, and approval of safety critical communication services.
