Location Service in Mobile Edge Computing

摘要

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an innovative technology that deploys virtualized "cloud native" functionality into the radio access network. The communications between applications and MEC services are designed according to the principles of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The aim is to re-use existing interfaces as much as possible. In this paper, we study the capabilities of 3GPP Parlay X Terminal Location Web Service to provide MEC Location Service. The focus is on implementation issues of Web Service interfaces onto network protocols used to provide access to location information.
