Abstract

Abstract: Mobile edge computing is a key technique to help push the envelope of performance to provide much lower latency, ultra-high energy efficiency, ultra-high reliability and much higher connectivity density in the fifth generation of mobile technology (5G). Fine-granularity based task offloading algorithms, task offloading and prediction algorithms with high reliability and joint resource management policy were introduced to report the progress of mobile edge computing toward the 5G business requirement. A number of challenges and potential research directions in mobile edge computing were also given.

Key words: mobile edge computing, 5G requirement, task offloading, resource management
