Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) has recently caught much attention for processing data in the vicinity of user equipment (UE) to reduce latency for real?time applications. Recently, software implementation of cellular base stations is emerging as it allows co-location of access point functionalities and those of MEC within the same hardware, and facilitates deployment of MEC without incurring much cost. In this paper, we posit that one of the most significant challenges for realizing softwarized cellular network with MEC is to enable resource isolation of low latency slices. Our contributions are threefold. First, we define the architecture of MEC in softwarized cellular network. Second, we measure the actual latency and throughput of on-site MEC system. And third, we propose a novel slicing method for the MEC to isolate a low latency slice from a broadband one. Our evaluation shows that the proposed method achieves the same minimal latency even with a competing broadband slice as that no other slice exists.
