We focus on the problems related to networking and software technology for a better connection. The technology that allows to build IT infrastructure, and aims to grow into a ‘Software Defined Infrastructure’ company.

Business driver

The stable vehicular network is essential to enable various applications such as autonomous driving through VANETs. Proposed MEC architecture tends to enable a promising infrastructure where a stable network topology can be predicted locally to improve the network performance by providing intensive calculation for vehicles in the adjacent roads. Thus, converging the two concepts of MEC and topology prediction can provide a strong use case for the vehicular networks such as proactive path stabilization.

The MEC-based Efficient Routing Algorithm can provide a stable path by using the predicted future position for the nearby vehicles. The information can also be made available to the adjacent road resulting from being useful to provide a stable topology on the road tracks.

Business use case

  • Edge cloud deployable at RSUs to support applications such as ML-based location prediction, topology stabilization

 

Business cost - Initial build

Minimal configuration is three servers in total:

  • Master/Database node (1st server)

  • Edge node 1 (2nd server)

  • Edge node 2 (3rd server)

Price factor depends on the cost of RSU quality, and should be only considered for physical deployment. i.e. wireless or wired.

Business cost - Operational

Virtual environment does not require cost.

 

Operational need

Using the frontend GUI to:

  • Orchestrate virtual resources

Manage the edge applications

 

Additional details

  • Support of path within a Single operator domain

PPT is attached as proposal statement.

Committers and PTL (Project Technical Lead)

Please enter in all names of the committers for the project.

PTL is done off of self nomination process.  If you wish to be considered for the PTL, please indicate that by putting a Y in the self nomination column (use the slide to move the table left to right).  Per Akraino rules, if there is only one nominee, that person becomes PTL (when confirmed by the Akraino TSC).  If there is more than nominee, we will then have an election.
The election process is open and will go through 7 Oct. 2020 at Noon Pacific time.
