Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Augmented reality (AR) has drawn great attention in recent years. However, current AR implementations have drawbacks, e.g., weak computation ability and large power consumption. For improvements of the situation, mobile edge computing (MEC) can be involved as a key technology to offload data and computation from AR devices to MEC via 5G networks. To this end, a context-based MEC platform for AR services in 5G networks is proposed in this paper. The platform resorts to MEC as a processing center while AR devices are simplified as universal tools for input/output, which overcomes their limitations and achieves better user experience. Based on the proposed scheme, two typical use cases providing AR services of navigation and face recognition respectively are implemented to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the platform. Finally, the platform is also numerically evaluated, and the results agree well with the design expectation.
