Use Case – Assisted/Autonomous Driving
USE-CASE DESCRIPTION MODE
Front Collision Warning Warns drivers of high probability of a front end collision V2V, V2I
Emergency Brake Light
Warning
Alerts trailing drivers of stopping traffic much quicker than
having to wait to see break light illumination
of the vehicle immediately in front of the drive
V2V, V2I
Local Road Condition
Alert and Reporting
Alerts other drivers of adverse road conditions sensed by one
or more vehicles

obstructed by a large vehicle or hampered by
lighting conditions
Informs the driver of the time remaining before the light
changes

there is a disabled car ahead and should be alerted of
potential slow down and alerted to increase safety of others
V2I, V2V

Use Case – Media Streaming
• Usage of media is expected to explode in vehicles as
consumers become more dependent on mobile
media and usage increases with autonomous vehicles
freeing up drivers to consume media
• Unlike current usage of media in homes, offices, malls
etc offload to fixed line network via WiFi is not an
option
• Scarce bandwidth has to be used to deliver
demanding services such as media streaming, gaming,
AR/VR, Location specific points of interest
• These will require application servers and media
gateways to be hosted within or close to the base
station environment
• MEC platforms can be placed at appropriate points in
the network, including within the base-station

Use Case – Digital Twin
• Sensor, Lidar, camera usage in a connected car is
expected to generate terabytes of data in a day
• While logic within the autonomous vehicle is likely to
operate in a closed-loop system, the terabytes of data
generated and used are not discarded but rather
transferred to a data pool in the cloud where it can be
stored, analysed and used by manufacturers and
service providers for predictive maintenance,
insurance, improving self driving algorithms etc.
• These vast amounts of data can be offloaded,
uploaded at the network edge rather than backhauled
on a mobile operators network
• During CAV development and testing phase it is also
likely that sensor and camera data will be streamed
back in real time to control centres in test
environments using MEC platform for localised high
SLA

Specialist Use Cases
• Besides passenger vehicles, there are a vast number of use
cases for autonomous and connected vehicles in logistics,
mining, e-agriculture industrial use cases etc
• In many of these cases, specialist control applications will run
in the edge cloud rather than on the vehicle due to the
specialist nature of the application
• Vehicles could include equipment such as diggers, excavators,
cranes, cargo vehicles, pods, drones (air and ground-based),
trains and amphibious traffic
• Control systems will need low latency and high reliability which
can only be obtained by using a MEC platform
• Eg of applications are for control of mining equipment,
industrial robots , control of drones for warehouse
functions/inspections, industrial vision where the computing
requirements are too complex to run on the end-use
equipment itself.

Benefits of MEC Platform
• Existing cloud services are extended into the highly
distributed mobile base station environment, leveraging the
existing LTE connectivity
• The MEC application operates as a roadside unit for vehicle-
to-infrastructure (V2I), potentially no need to build a
countrywide, Digital Short-Range Communications (DSRC)
network.
• Road hazards can be recognized and warnings can be sent to
nearby cars with extremely low latency
• Enables a nearby car to receive data in milliseconds, and the
driver/vehicle to react instantly – no need for data to leave
local environment
• Enables frequently used media to be stored/cached locally to
improve user experience and reduce network congestion – a
key issue when content consumption and production is
expected to explode with the advent of CAVs
• Local – Breakout/offload for high terabyte digital twin traffic
• Network slicing for prioritised services, MC-PTT for
emergencies

STRICTLYPRIVATE&CONFIDENTIAL
13
• Athonet was launched in 2005 by Karim El-Malki (CEO) and Gianluca
Verin (CTO) who bring 20+ years of experience each in the mobile
industry and academia.
• As mobile broadband became a reality, the explosion in traffic would
require a completely new network paradigm based on a highly
distributed software based network with intelligence everywhere – the
software is the network
• Designed from inception as a completely software based solution to
combine the simplicity of IP and cloud-based architecture with the
rapid advances in processing power coming from the computing
industry
