It is designed with resilience in mind and delivers high KPIs in this area. The Ericsson vCU application implements virtual packet processing function (PPF) that terminates traffic on upper layer – Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP). Resilience in one part of the stack is not enough, the entire stack needs to work together to deliver the promise of resilience, from hardware, platform, and up to application. Achieving this in the edge is different than in a data center and it puts high requirements on both the application delivering the service and the platform hosting the application. If a service goes down for any reason it must recover seamlessly to serve the end user. The system must continue to deliver acceptable service levels even when the system is experiencing problems. One of the key aspects for edge network services is resilience.

Ericsson of course is a world leader in 5G with a wide variety of telecommunications equipment, and Wind River is a provider of software infrastructure solutions such as Wind River Linux and Wind River Cloud Platform – both designed to meet the demanding latency, availability, and performance requirements of the 5G edge. Since MWC2020 was cancelled this year, Ericsson is making plans to show this demonstration in Ericsson Unboxed events closer to customerĮricsson and Wind River have worked together for many years building solutions starting with the 3G revolution continuing into 5G. This blog discusses some of these issues in the context of a proof of concept collaboration between Ericsson and Wind River to demonstrate a high performance 5g cloud infrastructure platform at the intelligent edge, originally planned for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The key features to consider are resilience, cost and resource utilization, and of course performance.

This requires taking some of the features previously only found in regional data centers and enabling them in a much smaller physical space. 5G use cases will drive the need to push webscale services out into the intelligent edge, as far as the end device. The effectiveness of the 5G Edge will be the determining factor of the success of 5G overall.
