100X Increase in Industrial and Personal Productivity Augmenting the State-of-the-Art Technologies AI/ML, Edge Computing, and 5G Network

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major innovative technology driver and crucial pillar in next-generation industrial revolution and major force for new digital world. This trend has been accepted by all major industries and acknowledged by the European Commission, who has very clearly pointed out that how a high-performance, ultra-low latency, intelligent, and trustworthy safety networks are fundamental for the evolution of the multiservice Next-Generation Internet (NGI). Excellent progress has been done in the accuracy and performance of AI-enabled platforms. This is now super critical that AI/ML integration in autonomous decision-making and mission critical systems with end-to-end quality assurance with ultra-low latency has advanced cellular network. 5G is the next-generation cellular network that aspires to achieve substantial improvement on quality of service, such as higher throughput and lower latency. Edge computing is an emerging technology that enables the evolution to 5G by bringing cloud capabilities near to the end users (or user equipment, UE) to overcome the intrinsic problems of the traditional cloud, such as high latency and the lack of security. In this paper, 100X increase in efficiency is demonstrated deploying the state-of-the-art technologies AI/ML, edge computing, and 5G network in highly secure environment. Other important aspects including the key requirements for its successful deployment in 5G and the applications of edge computing in 5G are also described. Then, we explore, highlight, and categorize recent advancements in edge computing for 5G. By doing so, we reveal the salient features of different edge computing paradigms for 5G. Finally, open research challenges for the research community are mentioned.
