Abstract Fifth generation (5G) envisages a “hyperconnected society” with an enormous number of interconnected devices, anywhere and at any time. Edge computing plays pivotal role in this vision, enabling low latency, large traffic volumes, improved quality experience. The advent 5G edge encourages vertical industries to develop innovative services, which can meet the challenging demands coming from consumers. However, economic feasibility is ultimate factor that determines viability new...
