The proposed solution envisions a unified virtualised environment by federating and integrating heterogeneous computing resources. Vision Cloud, Central DC gNB/eNB Computing Integrated Edge/Fog - Virtualized RAN functions - Multi-RAT coordination - Low latency applications - Analytics and data services - Terminal as a Fog node - Context information - Network optimization Networking, Computing, Storage capabilities shift - Edge/Fog integration and federation - Distributed services - Interaction with Cloud AP Fog Fog Fog User Device 5G-CORAL aims to design and validate through trials in Taiwan and Europe key technology innovations for the development of a 5G converged multi-RAT access based on a virtualised integrated Edge and Fog architecture that is scalable, flexible and interoperable with other domains including transport, core network and distant clouds.
