5g Edge Computing: Technologies, Applications and Future Visions (5G邊緣運算：技術、應用與未來展望)

邊緣運算被認為是5G網路及未來的關鍵技術之一，因為它具有兩個顯著的優勢：低網路延遲和減少核心網路負載。透過在網路邊緣強化雲端能力和IT服務環境，邊緣運算可以很好地支援5G及未來的應用，例如擴增/虛擬實境（AR/VR）、車聯網（超可靠低延遲通訊服務）、物聯網（大規模機器型通訊服務）和行動高畫質影片（增強型行動寬頻服務）。因此，自從邊緣運算出現以來，它已經引起了業界和學術界的關注。

本書根據我們長期的努力，突出了5G邊緣運算在業界和學術界的進展，包括公共邊緣提供者的當前實踐、學術界對邊緣運算的研究過程、邊緣運算與5G的整合，以及6G時代邊緣運算的未來展望。從本書中，讀者可以受益於：（1）對領先的公共邊緣平台NEP（下一代邊緣平台）的首次全面測量研究；（2）對5G邊緣運算的關鍵技術的清晰深入介紹；（3）5G整合邊緣運算的最新進展；以及（4）基於天算星座-一個開放的衛星-地面整合平台的6G邊緣運算的先驅性探索。

無論是來自學術界的研究人員還是來自業界的從業人員，都可以從本書中獲益良多。
