Traffic offloading technology in LTE network using MEC
Considering the current demand of low-delay and local traffic in some vertical industries,a technical scheme of LTE local shunt based on MEC was proposed,and the feasibility of the scheme was analyzed.Compared with LIPA/SIPTO scheme in 3GPP,MEC-based local streaming scheme could realize the transparent deployment of MEC platform,and the terminal does not need to support multiple APN connections,so as to provide users with a "virtual LTE local area network"experience.Finally,the problems and challenges in the application of the scheme were discussed,which could provide reference for the follow-up research and development.
