Enhancing real-time communication and minimizing latency by deploying edge computing across network nodes

Real-time communication and collaboration applications have transformed the way we interact and can be seen as foundational technologies in knowledge sharing and remote work. The applications are built upon real-time media processing and networked systems, and hence are typically deployed using cloud infrastructures. With the ubiquity of deployment, these approaches may return poor quality to sensitive end hosts due to high volume of requests and usage spikes, high network latency, and packet loss. As such, demand has always existed for more effective communication and collaboration systems across geographically dispersed members.

The rise of edge computing has stimulated research interest in enabling low-latency flows. In the context of advanced networks, integrated scope can greatly enhance the efficiency of real-time communication and collaboration. The integrated scope can be supported by different network segments, such as edge cloud and optimized network slicing. Combining network intelligence with flexible mobile edge computing, we enable end users to fully enjoy ultra-high-quality real-time media services. Ensuring end host service deployment involves various and difficult challenges. With system management methods, engineering "slim" end-user devices can be activated and fully integrated, offering long-lasting and high-quality connectivity management. Moreover, the new end-user system can also improve both the economy and performance.
