TLDR
It can be said that MEC has definitely a window of opportunity to contribute to the creation of a common layer of integration for the IoT world and could pave the way and be natively integrated in the network of tomorrow.Abstract:
Mobile-Edge computing (MEC) is an emerging technology currently recognized as a key enabler for 5G networks. Compatible with current 4G networks, MEC will address many key uses of the 5G system, motivated by the massive diffusion of the Internet of Things (IoT). This article aims to provide a tutorial on MEC technology and an overview of the MEC framework and architecture recently defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) MEC Industry Specification Group (ISG) standardization organization. We provide some examples of MEC deployment, with special reference to IoT cases, since IoT is recognized as a main driver for 5G. Finally, we discuss the main benefits and challenges for MEC moving toward 5G.read more

IoT Service Slicing and Task Offloading for Edge Computing
TL;DR: A novel architectural framework is introduced that enables the virtualization of an IoT platform with minimum functions to support specific IoT services and host the instance in an edge node, close to the end user, and provides twice as much transmission speed as that from the conventional cloud-based IoT platform.

Privacy-Preserving Data Integrity Verification in Mobile Edge Computing
TL;DR: Two Integrity Checking protocols for mobile Edge computing are proposed, called ICE-basic and ICE-batch, which are designed for the cases where the user wants to check data integrity on a single edge or multiple edges, respectively, and are efficient both in computation and communication.
