METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA SYNCHRONIZATION IN MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

A method for synchronizing data within a plurality of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) data centers located in a Radio Access Network of a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method comprises: for a service or application defined in a MEC data center (110, 215-218), creating a community (120, 220) of MEC data centers associated to said service or application; at each MEC data center of the community (120, 220), defining a routing table for propagating data within the community (120, 220) of MEC data centers; wherein, when by means of the Radio Access Network, data belonging to said service or application, captured by a device (101-104) in wireless communication with the Radio Access Network, is provided to a MEC data center of the community (120, 220), said data is propagated with the MEC data centers of the community (120, 220) following the defined routing table; wherein, when at least two pieces of data need to be simultaneously propagated by a MEC data center belonging to the community (120, 220) of MEC data centers, data propagation is prioritized according to at least one of the following criterion: a criticality parameter of the service or application to which the pieces of data are associated, an importance score of said data and a data propagation priority level; wherein, when all the MEC data centers of the community (120, 220) have received said data, the data is synchronized within the community (120, 220).
