An implementation of task processing on 4G-based mobile-edge computing systems

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a new technology that facilitates low-latency cloud services to mobile devices (MDs) by pushing mobile computing, storage and network control to the network edge (closer to MDs), thereby prolonging the battery lifetime of MDs. One of the main objectives of MEC is to re...

Description
Summary:Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a new technology that facilitates low-latency cloud services to mobile devices (MDs) by pushing mobile computing, storage and network control to the network edge (closer to MDs), thereby prolonging the battery lifetime of MDs. One of the main objectives of MEC is to reduce latency and permit delay-sensitive applications in 4G and in the future, 5G communications. To achieve this feat, MEC aims to build up a computing platform by deploying edge servers (ESs) on the network edge. There is, therefore, a push to test the MEC performance on existin
