Mobile Edge Computing: Progress and Challenges
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides mobile and cloud computing capabilities within the access network, and aims to unite the telco and IT at the mobile network edge. This paper presents an investigation on the progress of MEC, and proposes a platform, named WiCloud, to provide edge networking, proximate computing and data acquisition for innovative services. Furthermore, the open challenges that must be addressed before the commercial deployment of MEC are discussed.
