Abstract

Cost-effective Edge Service Provisioning in the Last Mile of 5G. This project aims to deliver a suite of novel approaches for enabling cost-effective last-mile service provisioning in the 5G mobile edge computing (MEC). This project is the world's first attempt to systematically tackle the critical service provisioning challenges in the last mile where base stations link users to MEC applications. It offers a practical solution for provisioning software vendors' MEC services cost-effectively. This project should drive Australia's 5G transition and innovations, promote its post-COVID economic recovery and resilience by enabling various real-time mobile and IoT applications, e.g., telehealth, remote learning/working, industry 4.0, and ensure its pioneering position in the global 5G research.
