Far from the traditional Internet in which audio and visual senses can be transferred, the Tactile Internet will introduce a way for transferring touch and actuation in real time form. However, the fifth generation of the mobile cellular system (5G) will be a great support for realizing Tactile Internet, the 1 ms round-trip-delay still a great challenge in the way of the Tactile Internet realization. Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a solution introduced to reduce the round trip latency and provide a way for offloading computation from the cellular network. In this paper we introduce a novel approach toward a multilevel cloud based cellular system, in which the small cells are connected with micro-cloud units with small capabilities to present the edge computing facilities. The micro-clouds are connected to mini-cloud units which have greater capabilities. The core network cloud connects the mini-clouds in the whole system. Introducing more levels of clouding reduces the round trip latency and the network congestion.
