Evolution of Edge Computing and Edge AI Towards 6G
Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a 5G/6G paradigm in communication and computing. The main feature of MEC is to push mobile computing, AI, control, and storage to the network edge (e.g., servers near base stations and access points) so as to enable intelligent, computation-intensive, and latency-critical applications at the resource-limited mobile devices. The promised gains of MEC have motivated extensive efforts by both the academia and industry on developing relevant technologies. In particular, MEC will provide a platform for realizing edge intelligence in 6G systems. In this session, several leading researchers from the industry will discuss the latest advancements in edge computing and edge AI in the areas and how relevant technologies will impact the ongoing 6G evolution.
