Abstract
With the fast-growing wireless communication tech-
nologies, Beyond 5G (B5G) and the Sixth Generation (6G)
wireless systems empower the Internet of Things (IoT) and
edge computing. Hence, the transition towards the virtualized
edge distributed framework enables applications to operate with
higher performance and efficiency by merging people, data and
things. In this work, the distributed system of virtualized 5G
Wireless communication and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is
constructed over a shared resource. This system is subjected
to varying load through real-time application scenarios with
a simulated User Equipment (UE) and operational Nextcloud
instances over MEC and their performance metrics are analyzed
by scaling infrastructure. During the huge load of network traffic,
the system is auto-scaled to provide high availability.
