Follow-me Cloud: an OpenDayLight Implementation for 5G automotive

Abstract

with the advent of Software Defined Networks (SDN) that allow for the near real-time topological change of the telecommunications infrastructure, aided by Network Function Virtualization (NFV) techniques, critical services that demand Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) can be enforced into an edge Mobile Edge Center (MEC) in order to be processed near the User Equipment (UE). The problem arises when a specific service requires ubiquitous mobility, which is the case of autonomous driving. This paper provides a follow-me cloud solution based on a popular SDN controller, with practical applications.
