Mobile Edge Computing Flashcards
1
Q
Define Mobile Edge Computing…
A
A distributed computing paradigm in which cloud computing capabilities are moved closer to the edge of a mobile network, usually at base stations or other network access points.
2
Q
Give 3 motivations for Mobile Edge Computing…
A
Reduced Latency -> Moving resources closer to the network edge enables quicker response times.
Scalable -> By enabling efficient computation at the edge, overall resource allocation is more efficiently used, freeing up resources for scaling.
Energy efficient -> Reduced need for transmissions to remote data centres saves energy.
