AB To deal with increasingly demanding services and the rapid growthin number of devices and traffic, 5G and beyond mobile networksneed to provide extreme capacity and peak data rates at very lowlatencies. Consequently, applications and services need to movecloser to the users into so-called edge data centers. At the sametime, there is a trend to virtualize core and radio access networkfunctionalities and bring them to edge data centers as well. However,as is known from conventional data centers, legacy transportprotocols such as TCP are vastly suboptimal in such a setting.In this work, we present pDCell, a transport design for mobileedge computing architectures that extends data center transportapproaches to the mobile network domain. Specifically, pDCellensures that data traffic from application servers arrives at virtualradio functions (i.e., C-RAN Central Units) timely to (i) minimizequeuing delays and (ii) to maximize cellular network utilization.We show that pDCell significantly improves flow completion timescompared to conventional transport protocols like TCP and datacenter transport solutions, and is thus an essential component forfuture mobile networks.
