Deployment and Resource Distribution of Mobile Edge Hosts Based on Correlated User Mobility

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is the next paradigm to support the enormous growth of diverse mobile applications that require high computational power, low latency, and high bandwidth. The user experience can be enhanced beyond the constrained resources limited by the user equipment by offloading computation-intensive tasks to the mobile edge (ME) hosts. However, ensuring service continuity of the offloaded tasks while users are moving from cell to cell is a critical factor to be kept in mind before selecting the locations suitable for ME host deployment. Therefore, in this paper, we present an optimization model to address the resource distribution problem of mobile users in an ME system so t..
