Caching at the edge in high energy-efficient wireless access networks

In the next generation of Radio Access Networks (RANs), Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is considered a promising solution to reduce the latency and the traffic load of backhaul links. It consists of the placement of servers, which provide computing platforms and storage, directly at each Base Station (BS) of these networks. In this paper, the caching feature of this paradigm is considered in a portion of a RAN, powered by a renewable energy generator system, energy batteries and the power grid. The performance of the caching in the RAN is analysed for different traffic characteristics, as well as for different capacity of the caches and different spread of it. Finally, we verify that the usage of a strategy that aims at reducing the energy consumption does not impact the benefits provided by the mobile edge caching

5G and beyond networks

This chapter investigates the Network Layer aspects that will characterize the merger of the cellular paradigm and the IoT architectures, in the context of the evolution towards 5G-and-beyond, including some promising emerging services as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Base Stations, and V2X communications
