TERANTIEC

The TERANTIEC proposal aims to extend the capabilities of the OTE testbed of the 6G-PATH project by providing the support of the Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) Application slices. This is a newly introduced concept by the ETSI MEC standardization group that extends the network slicing concept to the edge computing domain.

In order to include this new concept in the OTE testbed, TERANTIEC proposes the creation of a remote laboratory at UPC premises that will be accessible from OTE platform. The remote laboratory will include equipment to provide 5G connectivity and edge computing services, with the applications associated to different services deployed in different MEC application slices. In this way, a platform to experiment with MEC application slices for services with differentiated QoS requirements will be implemented, allowing further exploration of the needs and potential benefits of MEC application slices.
