Abstract

The report compares LPWAN (low-power, wide-area network) and MEC (Multi-access edge computing) topologies, examines opportunities to achieve lower latency in LPWAN networks by integrating their architecture with the MEC paradigm. LPWAN networks are highly suitable to be combined with a MEC architecture. The radio-access equipment place,e.g., base station, gateway, etc., is a main location to run delay-sensitive applications, processing/storage offloading tasks, or hosting those services that need in real-time information from the RAN (Radio Access Network). For that reason, this places in the network has been identified as ideal for installing the MEC equipment.The four-tier architecture of LPWAN and MEC are kept, so they perfectly match with each other.
