Abstract The 5G networks will bring an unprecedented promotion in transmission data rates. However, the satisfaction of some service requirements is still in dilemma, especially the end-to-end (E2E) latency which varies in different applications. Multi-access edge computing (MEC), a promising technology in 5G cellular networks, can provide ultra-low E2E latency and reduce traffic load on mobile backhaul networks. The potential benefits of MEC have been explored by preliminary studies. In beyond and 5G (B5G) era, what remains is the uncertainty of revenue from the investment of MEC which will shake operators' decisions about whether and how to deploy MEC in cellular networks. In this light, this paper designs a MEC-assisted B5G ecosystem inclusive of three players: private (local) telecom operators, backhaul, and cloud service owners. We propose a revenue maximization model for private (local) telecom operators and cloud service owners to minimize the cost from the end-user perspective while satisfying the latency requirement.
