Service Provisioning for Mobile Edge Cloud Computing

Mobile edge cloud computing provides a platform to accommodate the offloaded traffic workload generated by mobile devices. It can significantly reduce the access delay for mobile application users. However, the high user mobility brings significant challenges to the service provisioning for mobile users, especially for the delay-sensitive mobile applications. We want to research how to update the service provisioning solution for a given community of mobile users. Therefore, we compare current offloading strategies, information structures based on peer-to-peer in combination with cloud computing and client-side solutions using advanced Web protocols like WebRTC. The thesis continues our successful research record in mobile cloud computing,
