Abstract:
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) uses the edge of the network to bring computing closer to consumers and the data generated by applications, which reduces latency and increases connection speeds. 5G is the next generation of mobile networks that promises to have estimated network speeds as fast as 10 Gb/s and ultra-reliable low latency communication. Both MEC and 5G are considered disrupting technologies on their own but combined they will become a powerful force in the world of computing. Connected Vehicles and especially Connected Autonomous Driving (CAD) vehicles bring a whole new ecosystem with new requirements on the network architecture to support and to satisfy the real-time service requirements. This paper provides an overview of the automotive use cases, some of the key challenges and how MEC and 5G can play vital role in overcoming these challenges.
