Opis

Now diffused among end-user devices in mobile and wireline networks, the -cloud- is becoming the -fog.- This book focuses on the challenges and solutions related to cloud and fog computing for 5G mobile networks, and presents novel approaches to the frameworks and schemes that carry out storage, communication, computation and control in the fog/cloud paradigm. These novel approaches support the Internet of Things (IoT), the efficient provision of heterogeneous 5G mobile services, and emerging applications over future wireless network architectures. Elaborating on the emerging mobile networking paradigms for the 2020 5G timeframe, the book discusses recent and new developments, prompting future directions on the theories, practices, standards and strategies related to 5G mobile. It also presents new connectivity services that are highly scalable and programmable, and highlights recent developments related to 5G mobile systems.
