Abstract

Edge computing undertakes downlink cloud services and uplink terminal computing tasks, data interaction latency and network transmission cost are thus significantly reduced. Although a lot of research has been conducted in mobile edge computing (MEC), which assumed that all homogeneous cloudlets are placed in WMAN and user mobility is also ignored, little attention is paid to how to place heterogeneous cloudlets in wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) to minimize the deployment cost of cloudlets. Meanwhile, the method of selecting an optimal access point (AP) for deployment, modeling and heuristic algorithm (HA) needs to be improved. Therefore, this paper design a new heterogeneous cloudlet deployment model considering the quality of service (QoS) and mobility of users, and the Improved Heuristic Algorithm (IHA) is proposed to minimize cloudlet deployment cost. The extensive simulations demonstrate that IHA is more efficient than HA and the designed model is superior to the existing work.
