Abstract
This book offers comprehensive, self-contained knowledge on mobile edge computing (MEC), not only covering the basics, essential topics, and future directions, but also detailing the design and implementation of communications, computing, and caching in MEC. The first chapter provides an overview of MEC by outlining its technological characteristics and distinctions from cloud computing. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) integrates cloud computing with mobile devices to enhance mobile device capabilities such as computing and storage. Compared to mobile cloud computing (MCC), MEC provides an IT service environment and cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the network, within the radio access network, and close to mobile subscribers. Thus, the user experience can be further improved by the execution of computation- and storage-sensitive applications through computing in the edge cloud and the delivery of related computing services. This book provides basic concepts of MEC, explores the promising application scenarios of MEC integrated with emerging technologies, and gives insights into possible future directions of MEC. Due to the broad coverage on both the principle and applications of MEC, the book allows for easy cross-referencing and is suitable for researchers seeking a comprehensive but quick view of the current and future research focus about MEC and the related areas.
