Cross Border Service Continuity with 5G Mobile Edge

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

One of the core elements for the upcoming generation of wireless cellular networks is the availability of network service access continuity in addition to high-speed internet and low latency. The forthcoming fifth generation (5G) greatly improves users’ demand in terms of faster download rates, exceptional system availability, superb end to end coverage with exceptionally low latency and ultra reliability. One of the solutions to provide end to end low latency is the utilization of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) in the network. MEC provides cloud advantages to users by setting up a small cloud server in the edge node (i.e. close to the end-user), which decreases the amount of latency in network connections, in this regard, service migration has required as users migrate to the new location. Optimal migration decisions are challenging because they depend on the cloud environment, or edge nodes belong to different orchestrators, and security issues in the migration process must also be resolved in order to prevent unreliable requests. This study provides different approaches to address these challenges by identifying the security implications of migration methods based on the blockchain integration.
