A Software Architecture Model to Manage Heterogeneous Data using Edge Computing in 5G Environment

With the improvement of 5G communication service, the need for edge computing has become more apparent. The Mobile Edge Computing service (MEC) has become one of the best solutions for mobile User Equipment (UE) data processing. MEC provides more context-aware local processing of UE's data. Meanwhile, the MEC needs to manage the heterogeneous nature of UEs and the type of data format they provide. Therefore, a Heterogeneous Data Service Bus is developed to manage different types of data formats and organize them in efficient manner. We propose a software architecture model to address the management of data heterogeneity within computing edges. The architecture discussion showcases its applicability and proper handling of heterogeneous data in the Edge Computing Environment.
