Improving the QoS of Mobile Cloud Computing Applications in Smart Environments

摘要

Mobile-edge cloud computing is a new computing paradigm which provides cloud computing facilities to the mobile users in the close proximities of the edge of pervasive radio access networks. This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance the QoS of multimedia streaming in the context of smart environments. In the proposed scheme Mobile Edge Computing plays a vital role in enhancing QoS by a new method called the Track the Edge Approach. We have considered the applications of mobile cloud for developing the smart environments. We explore the container-based virtualization techniques to provide active Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) environments. In particular, our scheme guarantees fast response time, by proactively increasing service replication. We have created a test bed for conducting experiments and the results prove that the significant improvements in the performance of the proposed strategy over traditional approaches in terms of quick migration handover and less latency.
