In order to support all this, platform provides two key abstractions:
- Multi-Access/Mobile Operator Network Abstraction: Multi-access network means a mobile, Wi Fi or whatever it takes. Multi-operator means even for the same 4G/5G there could be different operators (Verizon, AT&T etc.). There are various MEC edge nodes, they could be the WiFi based edge node and they can be from different operators.
- Cloud-Side Abstraction: Cloud side abstraction includes key architectural components to be described in the subsequent sections.
