报告主题：Caching and Computing in Mobile Edge Networks

移动边缘网络中的缓存与计算

报告摘要: Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides computing and caching services at the edge of the wireless access network in order to minimize delay and customize services to the characteristics of the wireless access network. We introduced the Mobile Follow-Me Cloud concept where we populate caches with the most popular content requested by mobile users. The efficiency of such proactive caching very much depends on the accuracy of mobility prediction. Mobility prediction can be improved by using machine learning techniques and combinations of them. However, the mobility prediction accuracy very much depends on the quality of the available mobility data. In cases, where mobility prediction is not accurate enough, we found out that the benefits of caching can be improved by placing content rather in the core network than at the edge. This approach is also beneficial for privacy reasons. Moreover, we showed that MEC can improve the video quality in case of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP in a LTE network. We are currently investigating MEC to support localization of resource-constrained devices.
