vehicular_edge

Vehicular-edge infrastructure pattern.

The vehicular-edge pattern models vehicles attached to roadside units, backed by MEC hosts and an optional cloud tier. The proposed layers are vehicles, roadside units, MEC hosts, and cloud nodes. Vehicles attach to nearby roadside units, roadside units forward traffic to edge compute, and MEC nodes connect onward to the cloud for less latency-sensitive processing.

Its QoS profile reflects connected-mobility assumptions: access links favour low latency but limited bandwidth, roadside and MEC links provide stronger local capacity, and the cloud uplink captures the longer-latency control or archival path.
