Mobile Edge Computing for 5G DROne Systems

MICRO5G focuses on industrial research on URRLC and MEC with the objective of acquiring new skills and knowledge related to the deployment and support of drone services in 5G.mURRLC will allow drone service providers to extend the flight time by reliably moving complicated processing tasks to the mobile edge. In parallel, MEC will support crowdsourcing data from multiple drones, which can be consolidated and utilized as a traffic management tool. The synergy out of combing these capabilities shall not only enable innovative services such as safe flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and dynamic guidance/geofencing, but also promote an interactive, rather than independent, integration of different 5G technologies.
