5G and Cloud Computing: Improving Latency and Bandwidth Efficiency

computer Engineering

Co-innovation of 5G and cloud enables ultra-fast, low-latent, bandwidth-efficient services in multiple areas with 5G network delivering enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low-latency communications, and massive machine-type communications, and cloud computing delivers on-demand scalable processing and storage resources. Combined, these technologies can form a useful framework to enable future applications like autonomous driving, smart cities, long-distance medical care, and virtual realities. The present paper explores the role of 5G and cloud computing convergence in resolving the challenges arising regarding latency and bandwidth efficiency that are going to become critical in the future. It discusses some major architecture additions such as mobile edge computing (MEC), network slicing, and intelligent resource orchestration, all of which allow quicker data processing with less strain on the network. The paper traces the recent works, with emphasis on real life case studies, and analysis of performance measures related to 5G-cloud systems. The results indicate that any efficient integration approach can decrease the latency between the end and end points up to 50% and increases the bandwidth utilization in the heavy data networking. In general, the paper offers in-depth insights of how 5G and cloud synergy can transform digital infrastructure to provide faster and efficient as well as reliable connectivity framework in future applications.
