Mobility aware partition of MEC regions in wireless metropolitan area networks

Along with the rapid proliferation of mobile applications, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) attracts growing interests in recent years. The number of service handovers due to users' movements between different MEC regions impacts heavily on QoE and service operation cost. In this poster, we propose a randomized algorithm to minimize the number of possible handovers between different MEC regions by carefully dividing a metropolitan area into disjoint clusters. Preliminary experiments exhibit that the proposed algorithm could find sub-optimal partitions with reduced total number of handovers.
