Tencent has been deploying Tars on Connected Vehicle Blueprint and validating on IEC Type 4: AR/VR oriented Edge Stack for Integrated Edge Cloud (IEC) Blueprint Family.


For Connected Vehicle Blueprint，Connected Vehicle Blueprint focuses on establishing an open-source MEC platform, which is the backbone for the V2X application.   

From the use case perspective,  the following are the potential use cases. More are possible in the future.

  • Accurate Location: Accuracy of location improved by over 10 times than today’s GPS system. Today’s GPS system is around 5-10 meters away from your reallocation, <1 meter is possible with the help of Connected Vehicle Blueprint. 
  • Smarter Navigation: Real-time traffic information update, reduce the latency from minutes to seconds, figure out the most efficient way for drivers.
  • Safe Drive Improvement: Figure out the potential risks which can NOT be seen by the driver.
  • Reduce traffic violation: Let the driver understand the traffic rules in some specific area. For instance,  change the line prior to a narrow street, avoiding the opposite way drive in the one-way road, avoiding carpool lane when a single driver and so on.


From technology architecture perspective,  the blueprint consists of four major layers.

  • Hardware Layer:  Connected Vehicle Blueprint runs on top of community hardware. Both Arm and x86 server are well supported.  
  • IaaS Layer:  Connected Vehicle Blueprint can be deployed in virtual environment as well.  Virtual Machine, Container as well as other IaaS mainstream software（like OpenStack, Kubernetes and so on)  are supported.
  • PaaS Layer：Tars is the microservice framework of Connected Vehicle Blueprint. Tars can provide high-performance RPC calls, deploy microservice in larger scale-out scenarios efficiently, provide easy-to-use service monitor features.
  • SaaS Layer:   The latest v2x application depicted in the foregoing use case perspective.

From a network architecture perspective,  the blueprint can be deployed in both 4G and 5G networks. Two key points should be paid special attention to. One is offloading data to edge MEC platform.  The policy of data offload is configurable based on different applications. The other is the ability that letting the edge talks to the other edges as well as the remote data center. In some use cases, date process in one edge can NOT address the application's requirements, we need to collect the data from different edges. 


For Integrated Edge Cloud Blueprint,

In Tencent buildings in Shenzhen, ELIOT AIoT in Smart Office Blueprint has been deployed. The development of this blueprint helps enterprises  increasing  the efficiency of management and decrease the overall cost of managing offices and meeting rooms. At the same, employees can reserve and use meeting rooms more easily and conveniently.

Recently, Tencent is planning to deploy this blueprint in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou,  and many other cities in China.


China Mobile provides 5G MEC/Slice to Tencent, so that Tencent can deploy 5G MEC/Slice System to Support Cloud Gaming, HD Video and Live Broadcasting Blueprint.
