Abstract
Creating context-aware ad hoc collaborative systems remains to be one of the primary hurdles hampering the ubiquitous deployment of IT and communication services. Especially under mission-critical scenarios, these services must often adhere to strict timing deadlines. We believe empowering such realtime collaboration systems requires context-aware application platforms working in conjunction with ultra-low latency data transmissions. In this paper, we make a strong case that this could be accomplished by combining the novel communication architectures being proposed for 5G with the principles of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). We show that combining 5G with MEC would enable inter- and intra-domain use cases that are otherwise not feasible.Keywords
