This study focuses on the issue of uneven deployment of edge computing nodes in 5G networks. A multi-regional simulation model was constructed, and four key performance indicators were evaluated: average end-to-end latency, node load balance, request success rate, and resource utilization. Various optimization techniques, including automated scheduling and network slicing, were employed to control the simulation. The simulation results show that the average latency decreased from 54.8ms to 35.9ms, the load balance increased to 0.72, the request success rate rose to 91.7%, and the resource utilization improved to 74.6%. The study demonstrates that deploying optimized control strategies can significantly alleviate the performance bottleneck caused by uneven node distribution, thereby enhancing the overall service capability and resource utilization of the edge computing system.
