Optimum resource allocation and device assignment in a MEC cluster

摘要

A network device in a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) cluster may receive a request for a service that requires use of a resource of a first type; and determine whether a resource utilization level, associated with the resource, at a MEC device in the MEC cluster exceeds a threshold. When the network device determines that the resource utilization level exceeds the threshold, the network device may determine whether a candidate MEC device is available within the MEC cluster to provide a resource of the first type; and enable the service to be provided.
