AUTOMATED AND INTELLIGENT 5G-BASED EDGE COMPUTING PLATFORM FACILITATING INDUSTRIAL VERTICALS OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND AUGMENTED REALITY
摘要
In fifth-generation (5G) communication, a platform of elastic edge and fog computing for the radio access network (RAN) is the key enabler to provide high-performance networking and computing to various industries. 5G-eDge Intelligence for Vertical Experimentation (5G-DIVE) platform allows this by enabling software-defined environments such as network function virtualization and infrastructure as a service. This platform provides high bandwidth and low latency 5G communication to application fields by taking advantage of proximity to end users. To demonstrate the usefulness of this platform, trial fields of disaster management and augmented reality have been built. In this paper, we present a complete 5G end-to-end solution called autonomous drones scout (ADS) for the Person in need of help (PiH) detection system in a disaster relief response. The proposed ADS has been validated to be scalable in real-world disaster relief response scenarios. We also develop distributed computing AR navigation systems especially when only limited hardware resources are available. Distributed computing augmented reality AR distributes the incoming job or dispatches it to another available node if the area is crowded with users with limited computing resources and minimizes computing latency by processing image recognition and navigation tasks at the edge network. The analytical results show that this platform fulfills the need for high bandwidth and low latency communication of ADS and AR verticals.
