RESEARCH GOAL
MiEdge, Millimeter-Wave Edge Cloud, is composed of the following key technologies.
-
- mmWave Access & Backhaul: Develop transmission schemes and protocols of mmWave access/backhauling aimed to assist the mobile edge cloud with caching/prefetching so as to realize ultra-high speed and low latency service delivery, resilient to network bottlenecks, such as e.g. backhaul congestion, users’ density, mission-critical service deployment, assuming three target scenarios: stadium, office, and train/station.
- Liquid RAN C-plane: Develop novel ultra-lean and inter-operable control signaling over 3GPP LTE to provide liquid ubiquitous coverage in 5G networks based on acquisition of context information and forecasting of traffic requirements, in order to enable a proactive orchestration of communication/computation resources of the mmWave edge cloud.
- User/Application Centric Orchestration: Develop user/application centric orchestration algorithms and protocols to adapt radio and computation resources of mmWave edge cloud in 5G networks by utilizing traffic forecast provided by liquid RAN C-plane to enable self-organized and proactive reservation of the resources and satisfy low-latency service requirements.
