Kurzfassung englisch:
The Internet of Things (IoT) undergoes a rapid transformation this last decade, thanks to the appearance of low-power wide area network technologies, such as LoRa/LoRaWAN, SigFox, and narrowband IoT, which allow reducing the deployment cost of sensors and other IoT devices. Many emerging services such as smart city, Industry 4.0, and autonomous driving are based on IoT devices and applications to collect and analyze data and control end devices (i.e., actuators). Among these services, several IoT applications, such as data analytics, need to be deployed at the edge to either reduce the latency to access data or treat the high amount of generated data locally. However, in the context of LoRa/LoRaWAN, most of the current IoT service deployments run the applications at a central cloud to ease the integration with existing software as a service (SaaS) platforms, without exploiting the benefits of edge computing. In this article, we propose a new framework that leverages the ETSI multi-access edge computing (MEC) model to deploy LoRabased IoT applications at the edge. In particular, the proposed model takes advantage of the ETSI MEC features, such as dynamic deployment of an IoT application at the edge and application life cycle management. In addition, the proposed framework allows running an IoT application as a 5G network slice at the edge.
