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.
Claims22
A network device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- obtaining first information about a telecommunications network, the first information comprising locations of a plurality of intermediate offices and distances between the plurality of intermediate offices and a plurality of terminal nodes;
- obtaining second information, the second information comprising a minimum number of edge cloud nodes that need to be available to connect to each of the plurality of terminal nodes, wherein the minimum number is two;
- and
- based on the first information and the second information, determining an edge cloud network design.
