Beef Up the Edge: Spectrum-Aware Placement of Edge Computing Services for the Internet of Things

In this paper, we introduce a network entity called point of connection (PoC), which is equipped with customized powerful communication, computing, and storage (CCS) capabilities, and design a data transportation network (DART) of interconnected PoCs to facilitate the provision of Internet of Things (IoT) services. By exploiting the powerful CCS capabilities of PoCs, DART brings both communication and computing services much closer to end...
