5G Edge Cloud Application

WINLAB Summer Internship 2024

Advisors: Anthony Magnan, Ivan Seskar, Jennifer Shane

Group Members: Matt Arigo, Steven Nguyen, Ji Wu, Damon Lin

Project Objective

The purpose of our project is to create a navigation system that utilizes 5G edge cloud computing to reduce the likelihood of vehicular accidents. We will build this by utilizing synthetic data we generated off of SUMO and Carla. We will also utilize real data sets given to us integrate the two sets together while inspecting the sets for differences.

Week 1

​Week 1 Presentation

Summary

• Looked into key terms such as MQTT, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), Enhanced Vehicle-to-Everything Communication (eV2X Communication), and Virtual Roadside Units (vRSU)
• Installed and tested Mosquitto, an MQTT broker on Linux, through these commands:

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mosquitto-dev/mosquitto-ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install mosquitto
  sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients
  sudo apt clean
  

Week 2

​Week 2 Presentation

Summary

• Met with our advisors to discuss and define the project's direction
  • To be written
• Took a look at simulation software CARLA (Car Learning to Act) and SUMO (Simulation for Urban Mobility)
• Installed and tested Paho, another MQTT broker on Linux, as a substitute for Mosquitto
  • Paho is a Python-based MQTT broker, which is much more compatible with CARLA and SUMO
