Discovery and Selection Mechanism of Cloudlets in a Decentralized MCC Environment

摘要

In this paper a mechanism to identify a cloudlet for computation offloading in a decentralized manner is proposed. The cloudlet identification is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, cloudlets within WiFi range of the mobile device are identified without connecting to any of the cloudlets. In the second phase, selection of the ideal offloading cloudlet is done based on infrastructure specific parameters making the mechanism more generic.
