Nokia MEC in 5G White Paper
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is rapidly becoming established as an essential mobile network technology for improving the customer experience and supporting new business opportunities, especially under the Internet of Things. Placing cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the network, close to the users, enables the delivery of ultra-low latency, very high throughput services. MEC is an essential component of future 5G networks and the 3GPP has already defined key enablers. This white paper looks at how these enablers can be used to integrate MEC into 5G architecture.
