Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

Fifth generation mobile networks aim to use multi-tier heterogeneous cellular networks integrated with cloud computing to provide users with low latency and energy-aware service. However, for high bandwidth and low latency services, edge/fog computing comes into the scenario. In edge/fog computing, the intermediate devices between end users and cloud participate in processing and storage of data as well as execution of applications. Mobile edge computing provides cloud computing services at the edge of mobile network, which facilitates the developers, service providers as well as the users. Internet of Things (IoT) has become a principle component to design smart technological solutions for our daily life. For low latency and high bandwidth services, edge computing assisted IoT has become the pillar for the development of smart home, smart health etc. This chapter will discuss the overview of mobile edge computing along with its real time applications.
