Service Continuity for CCAM Platform in 5G-CARMEN

Abstract

Cooperative, Connected, Automated and Autonomous Mobility (CCAM) has a significant effect on improving traffic, lowering pollution and, most significantly, has enormous potential for safer roads. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is placing part of the cloud infrastructure at the edge of the network to boost performance and provide context-conscious services. Many of the drawbacks to today's technology could be overcome in tandem with the expected high capacity 5G. Service continuity (SC) across organizational and territorial borders in a highway scenario is one of the main challenges of the EU 5G-CARMEN project. The project tackles this problem by designing and implementing MEC-based services that act as bridges between various realms while taking advantage of 5G's high performance and reliability. This paper addressed the continued introduction of SC frameworks in the context of the 5G-CARMEN project. New high-level prediction algorithms and methods to boost SC have also been proposed.
