The need for faster and higher-capacity networks that can sustain modern, high-demanding applications has driven the development of 5G technology. Moreover, support for low-latency communication (1ms -10ms) is one of the main requirements of 5G systems. Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) has been seen as a key component to attain the 5G objectives, since it allows hosting and executing critical services at the vicinity of users, thus reducing the latency to its minimum. Motivated by the evolution of real-time applications, we propose and evaluate two different mechanisms to improve the end-user experience by leveraging container-based live migration technologies. The first solution is aware of the users’ mobility patterns, while the other is oblivious to the users’ paths. Our results show approximately 50 percent reduction in downtime, which demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed solutions compared to prior works using similar underlying technology, i.e., LXC or Docker.

5G趋势和场景中的快速服务迁移

对能够支持现代高要求应用的更快，更大容量的网络的需求推动了5G技术的发展。此外，支持低延迟通信（1ms -10ms）是5G系统的主要要求之一。多访问边缘计算（MEC）被视为实现5G目标的关键组件，因为它允许在用户附近托管和执行关键服务，从而将等待时间降至最低。基于实时应用程序的发展，我们提出并评估了两种不同的机制，以利用基于容器的实时迁移技术来改善最终用户的体验。第一种解决方案了解用户的移动模式，而另一种则忽略了用户的路径。我们的结果表明，停机时间减少了约50％，
