This second Technical Report (TR) edition provides an updated set of Use Case requirements, and a new evaluation methodology review for deployment potential using Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) infra-structure. The work is based on Use Cases (UC) and requirements developed by 5G Automotive Association’s Work Group 1 (WG1) and other organisations, such as the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) MEC and China’s IMT 2020 PG.

Down-selection and analysis of UCs are outlined in this TR according to different objectives and criteria, including the technology’s feasibility and demonstrated capabilities, its evaluated performance, its proven business potential, etc. For this, a vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) perspective on UCs is featured because the end application is consumed on the vehicle side. Additional requirements, such as end-to-end (E2E) security schemes, should also be considered.

The newly introduced evaluation methodology presented in this TR is examined through discussion of examples and best practices. The aim of this approach is to help OEM’s better evaluate how/when to deploy vehicle features on-board, in MEC, or in a central cloud. A discussion of the relevant criteria to be considered, and the related technical or business issues for these criteria, is given to guide the reader through the evaluation methodology.
