Description
Mobile edge computing is a technique in which computing, storage and networking resources are integrated with the base station.
In mobile edge computing, computing capabilities are placed closer to the radio access network enabling low latency and high bandwidth access to content, applications and services. The distributed architecture of mobile edge computing make this ideal for supporting high volumes of connected devices , which can generate high volumes of data interactions. The cloud data centers where data can be stored are known as mobile edge clouds. This will be crucial in delivering low latency , high bandwidth services that will connect trillions of devices. In this course of mobile edge computing, there is description of fog computing and mobile edge computing. Fog computing has the capabilities of compute, storage and networking services through various nodes and IOT gateways. To decrease latency in 5G networks, 5G should enable fog networking.
