Query: Rapid prototyping and performance evaluation of MEC-based applications   Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) will enable context-aware services for
users of mobile 4G/5G networks. MEC application developers need tools to aid
the design and the performance evaluation of their apps. During the early
stages of deployment, they should be able to evaluate the performance impact of
design choices - e.g., what round-trip delay can be expected due to the
interplay of computation, communication and service consumption. When a
prototype of the app exists, it needs to be tested it live, under controllable
conditions, to measure key performance indicators. In this paper, we present an
open-source framework that allows developers to do all the above. Our framework
is based on Simu5G, the OMNeT++-based simulator of 5G (NewRadio) and 4G (LTE)
mobile networks. It includes models of MEC entities (i.e., MEC orchestrator,
MEC host, etc.) and provides a standard-compliant RESTful interface towards
application endpoints. Moreover, it can interface with external applications,
and can also run in real time. Therefore, one can use it as a cradle to run a
MEC app live, having underneath both 4G/5G data packet transport and MEC
services based on information generated by the underlying emulated radio access
network. We describe our framework and present a use-case of an emulated
MEC-enabled 5G scenario.
