The Role of Edge Computing in Enhancing the Capabilities of Private Wireless Networks

Author(s) Rahul Bangera
Country United States
Abstract The convergence of Private Wireless Networks (PWNs), especially those based on the 5G Standalone (SA) architecture and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), marks a significant milestone for both the telecommunications and industrial sectors. This research paper provides a detailed technical analysis of how edge computing architectures are essential enablers for Private 5G features, including Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced data sovereignty. By thoroughly reviewing 3GPP Releases 16, 17, and 18, particularly regarding Non-Public Networks (NPNs) and the distribution of the User Plane Function (UPF), the study explains how local traffic breakout and deterministic networking function. We compare Private 5G MEC with Wi-Fi 6 in industrial environments, supported by empirical data on latency, jitter, and packet loss. The analysis shows that MEC is not just an addition to Private 5G but a core architectural element necessary to achieve Industry 4.0 goals, highlighting that decoupling the User Plane is the most crucial factor in shifting from consumer broadband to mission-critical industrial connectivity.
Keywords Private 5G, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), Non-Public Networks (NPN), Industry 4.0, URLLC, User Plane Function (UPF), Wi-Fi 6 Comparison, Data Sovereignty, 3GPP Release 18.
