Mobile Edge Computing: A Survey on Architecture and Computation Offloading

Technological evolution of mobile user equipment (TIEs), such as smartphones or laptops, goes hand-in-hand with evolution of new mobile applications. However, running computationally demanding applications at the TIEs is constrained by limited battery capacity and energy consumption of the TIEs. A suitable solution extending the battery life-time of the TIEs is to offload the applications demanding huge processing to a conventional centralized cloud. Nevertheless, this option introduces significant execution delay consisting of delivery of the off loaded applications to the cloud and back plus time of the computation at the cloud. Such a delay is inconvenient and makes the offloading unsuitable for real-time…
