About

Meriem Tefikova is a forward-looking researcher at the forefront of next-generation wireless systems, specializing in fog computing, microservice architectures, and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (uRLLC) for 6G applications. Her most notable contribution, the "Microservice-Based Fog Testbed for 6G Applications" (2024), introduces a pioneering real-time fog computing model that leverages microservice principles to simulate and validate the demanding performance requirements of 6G networks. This work directly addresses the critical need for flexible, scalable testbeds capable of modeling eventual uRLLC services, offering a practical pathway from theoretical 6G concepts to tangible implementations. While her citation count is still emerging, reflecting the nascent stage of her research area, Tefikova’s work stands out for its timely focus on bridging the gap between cloud and edge computing for future cellular standards. Her achievements signal a promising trajectory in enabling the low-latency, high-reliability infrastructure essential for 6G’s transformative applications, from autonomous systems to immersive telepresence.
