Abstract

Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks are typical hybrid access technologies that combine the high bandwidth of optical access and the flexibility and ubiquitous coverage of wireless access. Mobile edge computing (MEC) provides low latency services and cloud computing capabilities at the edge networks. The convergence of MEC and FiWi access networks can improve network performance and QoS (Quality of Service) of augmented reality (AR) services. Therefore, in this paper, we study the problem of integrating MEC with FiWi to enhance AR services. We first present the integration scheme of MEC with FiWi for AR applications. We then propose our AR applications enhanced by the integration of MEC and FiWi access, which can provide multiple low-latency AR services. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that the integration of MEC with FiWi can support long-distance AR applications with low delay.
