The future of mobile cloud computing: Integrating cloudlets and Mobile Edge Computing

TLDR
A hierarchical model that is composed of MEC servers and Cloudlets infrastructures is proposed to increase the coverage area for the mobile users in which the users can accomplish their requested services with minimal costs in terms of power and delay.
Abstract
Extending the coverage area of mobile cloud computing services will allow new services to be provisioned to the mobile users. The main obstacle for achieving this goal is related to the deployments challenges and limitations of the Cloudlets system. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) system emerged recently providing an opportunity to fill the gap of the Cloudlets system by providing resources-rich computing resources with proximity to the end users. In this paper, we are proposing a hierarchical model that is composed of MEC servers and Cloudlets infrastructures. The objective of the proposed model is to increase the coverage area for the mobile users in which the users can accomplish their requested services with minimal costs in terms of power and delay. An extensive experimental evaluation is conducted showing the superiority of the proposed model.
