This PoC considers a typical Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0 - Platform 4.0 Industrie)* IoT use-case for latency, mobility and location sensitive applications, wherein a MEC host with local RAN breakout can enable massively scalable real-time duplex trusted transit delivery of data between IoT devices (sensors, actuators, control systems etc.) and cloud based industrial applications that leverage low-latency transactions with real-time meta-data on localized usage, security and QoS. The PoC will simulate a real-world Industry 4.0* use case and demonstrate several value drivers for stakeholders driving IoT.
This PoC utilizes two application contexts including Enterprise Video Call/VoIP and Tele-Drone to demonstrate the feature BandwidthManager of ETSI MEC FEATUREs defined in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC); Technical Requirements (ETSI GS MEC 002 V1.1.1). The PoC will be verified on multi-vendor EPCs which contain our team member FarEasTone (FET)’s EPC and the multi-vendor EPCs in ITRI’s 4G+/5G testbed. The MEC platform of our PoC executes as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) in a container-based a Virtual Machine (VM) environment environment and provides an interface for installing the service application (APP) into a container or a VM and configuring a set of parameters for bandwidth management of a mobile network.
 
This PoC will leverage Xaptum’s distributed Peering IP-Overlay Network for IoT and extend their peering Xaptum ENF (Edge Network Fabric) Run-Time Architecture to the mobile edge for low latency and secure communication in Industrial IoT devices and applications. By combining Xaptum ENF with Oberthur’s embedded cryptographic authentication SE (Secure Element) offering and vendor neutral TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) and DAA (Direct Anonymous Attestation) to both IoT device and application end-points, we shall be able to demonstrate several use-cases that meet stringent requirements for industrial applications as defined by leading Industry 4.0 standards.
 
The entirety of the PoC will be deployed over an NFV infrastructure to highlight the benefits of COTS hardware and to reap the benefits of orchestration and automation.  The PoC will leverage RIFT.io RIFT.ware, a commercially supported offering of the ETSI Open Source MANO (OSM).

Abstract

This PoC utilizes two application contexts including Enterprise Video Call/VoIP and Tele-Drone to demonstrate the feature BandwidthManager of ETSI MEC FEATUREs defined in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC); Technical Requirements (ETSI GS MEC 002 V1.1.1). The PoC will be verified on multi-vendor EPCs which contain our team member FarEasTone (FET)’s EPC and the multi-vendor EPCs in ITRI’s 4G+/5G testbed. The MEC platform of our PoC executes as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) in a container-based a Virtual Machine (VM) environment environment and provides an interface for installing the service application (APP) into a container or a VM and configuring a set of parameters for bandwidth management of a mobile network.
