Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Mobile edge computing resources optimization: a geo-clustering approach" ?
In future work, the authors expect to explore several aspects such as group communications, energy saving ( in particular with respect to the temporal distribution of the demand ) and latency.
Q3. How should the traffic between the MEC servers and the core be minimized?
3) The traffic between the MEC servers and the core should be minimized, in particular by consolidating applications at the MEC server level, such that the global latency is reduced.
Q4. what is the function to maximize the traffic in a cluster?
Given a maximum MEC server capacity, the algorithm finds MEC clusters (also referred to as MEC areas) which tend to maximize the traffic handled inside the clusters (i.e. at the edge by the MEC servers) and thus reduce the traffic that goes up to the core data center.
Q5. How many specialized virtual machines can be instantiated in under 100 milliseconds?
In particular, it has been shown that an inexpensive commodity server is able to concurrently run up to 10,000 specialized virtual machines, instantiate a VM in as little as 10 milliseconds, and migrate it in under 100 milliseconds [18].
Q6. How many clusters did it take to provide this result?
8. MEC cluster loads (5pm-6pm, 11/04/2013).1,089 clusters (33 x 33) and took, without any code optimization, 18.73 seconds to provide this result.
Q7. What is the definition of a MEC cluster?
1. All users belong to a MEC cluster, a geographic area whose traffic can be handled by a MEC server, that is a small-scale datacenter with low to moderate compute and storage resources.
Q8. How many passes can be used in the algorithm?
Note that their algorithm can be used in an n-level MEC architecture, n designating the number of aggregation levels inbetween the base stations and the core (we consider only one level here: MEC servers), by applying it at each level.
Q9. What is the generalization of the graph cut based image segmentation problem?
It generalizes the graph cut based image segmentation problem with connectivity constraints, which is NP-hard [23], and introduces capacitated components.
Q10. how many MEC servers are offloaded to the core core?
Time0 20 40 60 80100 120 140 160 180S ta ck e d #o f com m. (x1 0 0 0 )MEC servers Offloaded to the core Core(a) Partition done at 5pm-6pm on Monday 11/04/2013 with a maximum cluster capacity of 10% of the total communications.
Q11. What is the purpose of this paper?
In this paper, the authors formulated this problem as a mixed integer linear program and presented a graph-based algorithm that enable finding a partition of MEC areas that consolidates traffic at the edge, in MEC servers.
Q12. What is the initial cardinality of the cluster set C?
|Eint |), where |Eint | is the number of interaction edges and N the number of vertices (i.e., the initial cardinality of the cluster set C) issued from the area discretization.
Q13. What is the current status of MEC?
In the past few years, in parallel notably to the ETSI MEC ISG initiative [1] and to the OpenFog Consortium [2], MEC has emerged as a new promising research area.
Q14. What is the share of the MEC servers during the working days?
In Fig. 9a, the authors can observe that around 53% of the communications are directly handled by the MEC servers during the working days.
