description Mobile edge computing (MEC) is emerging as a promising computing architecture by pushing computation and storage closer to end-users with both strategically deployed edge servers and opportunistic available resources. Essentially different from the traditional definition of cloud computing, mobile edge computing can provide solutions to problems faced by mobile cloud computing and support a large number of different mobile and the Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services. However, to maximize the resource utilization and user service experiences, it is envisioned that mobile edge computing and cloud computing should be designed and operated under a seamless integrated hierarchical architecture, though there are still many unprecedented technical challenges for applying mobile edge computing to the emerging mobile and IoT applications.
