ELASTIC TRANSFER AND ADAPTION OF MOBILE CLIENT CONTROLLED PROCESSES IN AN EDGE CLOUD COMPUTING LAYER

摘要

A method for initiating a transfer of an active slave process of a first type, which is executed in a first processing entity Q of an edge cloud computing layer, to a second processing entity of the edge cloud computing layer has the following for a first Mobile entity on: receiving a first heat map in relation to the master-slave process of the first type, ranking, based on a cost function, possible process sharing connections between the first mobile entity and one or more second processing entities for the current location of the first mobile entity and / or one Location of the first mobile entity in the near future, determining, based on the classification, one or more second processing entities as potential target processing entities for transferring the slave process of the first type to them, and transmitting a processing entity transfer request (PETR) to a control process that is in the Edge cloud co mputing layer, the request including an identification of the active slave process of the first type and indicating at least one of the one or more second processing entities that are based on the classification as potential targets for the transfer of the active slave process of the first type these were determined.
