    Standardization Progress and Case Analysis of Edge Computing

    • Edge computing is a new network architecture and open platform that integrates network, computing, storage, and application core capabilities on the edge of the network. Edge computing changes the way of traditional centralized cloud computing which moves computing and storage capabilities to the edge of the network. Edge computing can greatly reduce the congestion and burden of core network and transmission network, due to canceling the data backhaul. And it can lower the delay, bring high bandwidth. Also at the same time it can quickly respond to users’ requests and improve service quality. Now, edge computing has become an important enabling technology for the future 5G, and it has been written into 3GPP standard. More and more operators, equipment vendors and chip manufacturers join to construct the edge computing ecological. How to build a unified standardized edge computing platform for future ecological construction is very important. Therefore, this paper focuses on the progress of standardization of the current edge computing. From edge computing architecture was first proposed by ETSI, to edge computing has been listed as the key technology for future 5G development in 3GPP. The approval of projects of the edge computing in CCSA is also included. The introduction of each part has a great deal of analysis and explanation of the standard content. In the end, this paper introduces China Unicom’s edge computing research achievement in recent years, including the important edge computing experimental project, the pilot scheme for future edge computing of China Unicom and the exploration of the network deployment plan of edge computing. We are looking forward to discussing the edge computing commercial cooperation mode with all sectors so as to jointly build the network edge ecology and comprehensively accelerate the vigorous development of 5G services.
