  Next-generation cellular networks will play a key role in the evolution of
different vertical industries. Low latency will be a major requirement in many
related uses cases. This requirement is specially challenging in scenarios with
high mobility of end devices, such as vehicular communications. The
Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm seeks to satisfy it. In this article
we propose the dynamic deployment of anchor point network functions at edge
locations and the assignment of terminals to these anchor points with the joint
objective of minimizing communications latency and reducing network overhead.
We formally define the problem as a multi-objective optimization and also
propose a novel heuristic greedy algorithm for approximating the solution. This
algorithm compares favorably with baseline and state-of-the-art strategies for
latency minimization while reducing the overhead caused by network
reconfigurations.
