Future mobile applications, such as mobile cloud gaming or augmented reality, require not only high computation power but strict latency constraints. To provide computing resources with ultra-low latency, a new form of cloud infrastructure called edge cloud has been proposed, which distributes computing servers at the edges of the network. A primary concern of edge cloud is that a physical server running a service can change as the client moves, so the service has to be quickly migrated between servers for seamless computation offloading.
