Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) can satisfy the communication requirements of ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency in 5G-enabled vehicular networks, since it provides Internet service environment and cloud computing capability for wireless access network. In this paper, the architecture and characteristics of MEC for unmanned driving are explored. Meanwhile, the key technologies of MEC are discussed. With the assist of clustering, we propose the scheme of mobile vehicle cloud (MVC)-aided communication, and examine the network performance including computing resource allocation by MEC and link performance. The numerical results show that the network performance is improved effectively.
