Limited understanding of practical Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) implementation

Characterize, design, and validate practical mobile edge computing deployment and management frameworks across heterogeneous access nodes, going beyond algorithmic studies of caching and compute offloading to real‑world implementations.

Background

The paper highlights that, although many studies focus on caching and offloading for MEC, practical implementation aspects across heterogeneous network nodes remain underexplored.

A 6G context further increases the urgency for validated, deployable MEC frameworks integrated with software‑centric network evolution (SDN/NFV).

References

While many studies have focused on features like cache services and compute offloading methods, little is known about mobile edge computing implementation.
