Cloudlet Enhanced Fiber-Wireless Access Networks for Mobile-Edge Computing

This paper proposes to enhance capacity-centric fiber-wireless (FiWi) broadband access networks based on data-centric Ethernet technologies with computation- and storage-centric cloudlets to provide reliable cloud services at the edge of FiWi networks and thereby realize the vision of mobile-edge computing (MEC). To reduce offload delay and prolong battery life of edge devices, a novel cloudlet-aware resource management scheme is proposed that...
