Abstract

The fifth generation (5G) mobile network technologies include ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (uRLLC) capability. To fully exploit uRLLC, distributed Multi- access Edge Computing (MEC) is being developed and introduced at the network edge with an architecture that supports applications and services. Some of the MEC applications will benefit from uRLLC, including virtual reality, augmented reality, education, health, online gaming, automatic manufacturing and Vehicle-to-everything. However, unique challenges and opportunities exist for 5G cellular networks and MEC due to a range of factors, including end-user device mobility and the implementation of the network Control Plane (CP) and User Plane (UP). In this regard, there is a need to optimize protocols and network architecture. This paper investigates latency and related network elements in the next generation mobile cellular network. We also analyze the 5G network latency in the CP and UP. Finally, the paper identifies protocol optimization considerations for MEC integration with 5G to achieve low end-to-end latency.

移动蜂窝网络uRLLC业务的延迟分析

第五代(5G)移动网络技术包括超可靠低延迟通信(uRLLC)能力。为了充分利用uRLLC，分布式多访问边缘计算(MEC)正在开发和引入网络边缘，其架构支持应用程序和服务。一些MEC应用将受益于uRLLC，包括虚拟现实、增强现实、教育、健康、在线游戏、自动制造和车联网。然而，由于一系列因素，包括终端用户设备移动性以及网络控制平面(CP)和用户平面(UP)的实施，5G蜂窝网络和MEC存在独特的挑战和机遇。为此，需要对协议和网络架构进行优化。本文研究了下一代移动蜂窝网络中的时延及相关网元。我们还分析了5G网络在CP和UP中的延迟。最后，本文确定了MEC与5G集成以实现低端到端延迟的协议优化考虑因素。
