Course Details
Multi Access Edge Computing is set to be a key enabler for future services based on 5G. This course shows how the two technologies work with one another, outlining the basic concepts before exploring the standardised MEC architecture, both from an ETSI and 3GPP perspective. Focus is given to the System and Host Level components, before detailing how MEC integrates with the 5G Service Based Architecture. 5G techniques and technologies which MEC will exploit will then be discussed, with consideration given to AF Influenced Traffic Routing, LADNs, Uplink Classifiers, Branching Points and SSC.
