Abstract According to Cisco’s Internet Report 2020 white paper, there will be 29.3 billion connected devices worldwide by 2023, up from 18.4 billion in 2018. 5G connections will generate nearly three times more traffic than 4G connections. While bringing a boom to the network, it also presents unprecedented challenges in terms of flow forwarding decisions. The path assignment mechanism used in traditional traffic scheduling methods tends to cause local network congestion caused by the concentration of elephant flows, resulting in unbalanced network load and degraded quality of service. Using the centralized control of software-defined networks, this… More >

Abstract Nowadays, with the widespread application of the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices are renovating our lives. The data generated by mobile devices has reached a massive level. The traditional centralized processing is not suitable for processing the data due to limited computing power and transmission load. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been proposed to solve these problems. Because of limited computation ability and battery capacity, tasks can be executed in the MEC server. However, how to schedule those tasks becomes a challenge, and is the main topic of this piece. In this paper, we More >
