• Mobile Edge Computing [ETSI 2014]
• Multi-access Edge Computing
Mobile Computing
Mobile Computing refers to a technology that allows the
transmission of data, voice and video via a computer or any
other wireless device. It is free from having any physical link.
Example
I have transferred my data, voice, and video to my friend who is
in another location without any physical link or physical
connection from one device to another device is called mobile
computing.
Fields of Mobile Computing
Following is a list of some significant fields in which mobile
computing is generally applied:
• Web or Internet access.
• Global Position System (GPS).
• Emergency services.
• Entertainment services.
• Educational services.
Mobile Computing Components

• Mobile Communication System


• Mobile hardware
• Mobile Software
Mobile Communication

Mobile Communication specifies a framework that is


responsible for the working of mobile computing technology.

In this case, mobile communication refers to an


infrastructure that ensures seamless and reliable communication
among wireless devices. This framework ensures the
consistency and reliability of communication between wireless
devices.
Mobile communication can be divided into the following four
types:

• Fixed and Wired


• Fixed and Wireless
• Mobile and Wired
• Mobile and Wireless
Mobile Hardware
Mobile hardware consists of mobile devices or device components
that can be used to receive or access the service of mobility.
Examples of mobile hardware can be smartphones, laptops,
portable PCs, tablet PCs, Personal Digital Assistants, etc.
Mobile Software

Mobile software is a program that runs on mobile hardware.


This is designed to deal capably with the characteristics and
requirements of mobile applications. This is the operating
system for the appliance of mobile devices. In other words,
you can say it is the heart of mobile systems. This is an
essential component that operates the mobile device.
Mobile Edge Computing
What is Mobile Edge Computing?
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a distributed
computing architecture that brings cloud
computing resources closer to the network edge.

By deploying computing capabilities close to


mobile devices, MEC reduces latency and
improves network efficiency. It enables real-time
data processing, low-latency applications, and
better user experiences. MEC is a key enabler for
emerging technologies like 5G and Internet of
Things (IoT).
Use Cases of Mobile Edge Computing
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) unlocks a wide
range of innovative use cases:

1) Smart Cities: MEC enables real-time traffic


management, environmental monitoring, and
efficient resource allocation.
2) Autonomous Vehicles: MEC enables low-latency
communication between vehicles, traffic
infrastructure, and cloud services, enhancing safety
and efficiency.
3) Industrial IoT: MEC enables real-time
monitoring and control of industrial processes,
improving operational efficiency and predictive
maintenance.
4) Augmented Reality: MEC reduces latency and
enables immersive AR experiences on mobile
devices.
Challenges and Considerations

While Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)


offers immense potential, there are
challenges to address:

1) Network Congestion: Increased data


traffic near the network edge can lead to
congestion and reduced performance.

2) Synchronization: Coordinating data


processing across multiple edge nodes can
be complex, requiring efficient
synchronization mechanisms.

3) Security: Protecting edge devices and


ensuring secure communication between
edge nodes and the cloud is crucial.

4) Standardization: Establishing common


standards and frameworks for MEC
deployment is essential for interoperability
and scalability.
Benefits of Mobile Edge Computing

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) offers


several benefits:
1) Reduced Latency: By processing data
closer to the end-users, MEC significantly
reduces latency and improves application
responsiveness.
2) Improved Scalability: MEC enables
elastic scaling of computing resources,
ensuring optimal performance even during
peak loads.
3) Enhanced Privacy and Security:
MEC allows for localized data
processing, reducing the risk of data
breaches and ensuring better privacy.
4) Edge Intelligence: MEC enables real-
time data analysis and decision-making at
the network edge, enabling innovative
applications.
