This study proposes a MEC-integrated 5G Management and Orchestration (5G MANO) platform architecture for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) deployment and orchestration. Since network slicing can provide different types of network service requirements, users can provide better service quality by selecting network slicing to interface with the corresponding MEC host. This study designs and integrates the 5G MANO platform with MEC and the 5G core network. Also, the experimental results show that the designed 5G integrated MEC network slicing architecture provides offloading traffic to MEC hosts and can enable MEC app services to obtain higher network throughput.
