Application and Challenge of Edge Computing Based on 5G Communication in Information and Communication Systems

With the rapid development of information technology, 5G communication technology has gradually entered real life, among which the application of edge computing is particularly significant in the information and communication system field. This paper focuses on using edge computing based on 5G communication in information and communication systems. First, the study analyzes the importance of combining edge computing technology with 5G communication technology, and its advantages, such as high efficiency and low latency in processing large amounts of data. The study then explores multiple application scenarios of edge computing in information and communication systems, such as integrated use in the Internet of Things, intelligent transportation, telemedicine and Industry 4.0. The research method is mainly based on theoretical analysis and experimental verification, combined with the characteristics of the 5G network to optimize the edge computing model and test the performance of edge computing in different scenarios through experimental simulation. The results show that edge computing significantly improves the data processing capacity and response speed of ICS in a 5G environment. However, there are also a series of challenges in practical application, including data security and privacy protection, the complexity of resource management and allocation, and the guarantee of quality of service (QoS). Through the case analysis and problem analysis, the paper puts forward the corresponding solution strategies, such as strengthening the data security protocol, introducing the intelligent resource scheduling system and establishing a multi-dimensional service quality monitoring mechanism. Finally, this study points out that the deep integration of edge computing and 5G communication will continue to promote the innovative development of information and communication systems, which has a far-reaching impact and important practical significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading in the field of information technology.
