Popis:	The conventional mobile architecture is unlikely to cope with Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) constraints, being a major cause for its fundamentals to remain elusive. Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) emerge as complementary solutions, offering fine-grained on-demand distributed resources closer to the User Equipment (UE). This work proposes a multipurpose analytical framework that evaluates a hybrid virtual MEC environment that combines VMs and Containers strengths to concomitantly meet URLLC constraints and cloud-like Virtual Network Functions (VNF) elasticity.
