We present a high-level end-to-end architecture for virtualization and programmability in next-generation mobile wireless networks. Our architecture envisions three major players: Service Providers, who wish to orchestrate wireless networks with ...

Connected vehicle systems form the basis for future features of functions and applications within the automotive domain. In order to allow resource intensive services, cloud offloading and especially Mobile Edge Computing is a promising approach. In ...

Wi-Fi, the most commonly used access technology at the very edge, supports download speeds that are orders of magnitude faster than the average home broadband or cellular data connection. Furthermore, it is extremely common for users to be within reach ...

Edge clouds handle data and computations closer to its source and users. Applications like industrial automation, bring new challenges and require solutions tailored for computation-centric edge cloud networks. In this paper we build on existing edge ...

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is receiver driven, asynchronous and location-independent, hence it natively supports client-mobility. However, post-handover delay is a problem for delay-sensitive mobile applications, as they need to (re-)submit ...

With increased complexity of webpages nowadays, computation latency incurred by webpage processing during downloading operations has become a newly identified factor that may substantially affect user experiences in a mobile network. In order to tackle ...

5G network is geared towards massive deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoTs) with requirements of low end-to-end latency, low control overhead and low power transmissions. Current 4G network is optimized for large bandwidth applications and inefficient ...

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an emerging technology that aims at pushing applications and content close to the users (e.g. at base stations, access points, aggregation networks) to reduce latency, improve quality of experience, and ensure highly ...

In edge computing, content and service providers aim at enhancing user experience by providing services closer to the user. At the same time, infrastructure providers such as access ISPs aim at utilizing their infrastructure by selling edge resources to ...

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides computing/storage offloading and resource virtualization to mobile devices at the network edge. A load balancer is a necessary network function to determine the destination MEC host of each packet from a mobile ...
