Abstract
Systems and methods may use a math programming model for designing an edge cloud network. The edge cloud network design may depend on various factors, including the number of edge cloud nodes, edge cloud node location, or traffic coverage, among other things.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving information about a telecommunications network, the information comprising:
- a first latency requirement for a first data traffic type, wherein the first data traffic type includes data traffic from autonomous vehicles;
- a first redundancy requirement for the first data traffic type;
- routes and latencies between a first edge cloud node and a plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- and
- respective locations of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- based on the information, assigning a candidate edge cloud node of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes to be a second edge cloud node of the telecommunications network;
- and
- providing instructions to update an edge cloud network design to indicate the second edge cloud node.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, information about a telecommunications network, the information comprising:
- a first latency requirement for a first data traffic type, wherein the first data traffic type includes data traffic from autonomous vehicles;
- a first redundancy requirement for the first data traffic type;
- routes and latencies between a first edge cloud node and a plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- and
- respective locations of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- based on the information, assigning, by the processor, a candidate edge cloud node of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes to become a second edge cloud node of the telecommunications network;
- and
- providing, by the processor, instructions to update an edge cloud network design to indicate the second edge cloud node.

- a first redundancy requirement for the first data traffic type;
- routes and latencies between a first edge cloud node and a plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- and
- respective locations of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes;
- based on the information, assigning a candidate edge cloud node of the plurality of candidate edge cloud nodes to become a second edge cloud node of the telecommunications network;
- and
- providing instructions to update an edge cloud network design to indicate the second edge cloud node.
