随着物联网（IoT）/网络物理系统（CPS）提供的各种服务的迅速普及，互联网上对边缘计算平台的需求日益增长，以最大限度地减少通信延迟。这些平台通常必须支持迁移可供附近的移动的设备使用的边缘服务器实例。在本文中，我们设计了MEC（移动的边缘计算/多访问边缘计算）平台，实现了边缘服务器和移动终端之间的协同处理。我们的方法专注于对连续和透明通信以及延迟减少的需求，以改善边缘服务器和移动终端之间的卸载处理。该平台通过在每个网络域中部署一个IP移动性支持网关来实现这一要求，并通过协调控制来建立这些网关之间的通信关系。我们还实现了原型系统，从吞吐量和处理时间的观点表明其有效性。
With the rapid spread of various services by IoT(Internet of Things) / CPS (Cyber-physical System), the growing requirement of the edge computing platform for minimizing communication latency is inevitable on the Internet. These platforms generally have to support migrating the edge server instance available for use by nearby mobile devices. In this paper, we design the MEC (Mobile Edge Computing/Multi-access Edge Computing) platform which brings cooperative processing between an edge server and a mobile device. Our approach is focusing on the requirement for continuous and transparent communication as well as latency reduction to improve the offload processing between the edge server and the mobile device. The proposed platform uses an IP mobility support gateway at each network domain to achieve this requirement, and establish communication relationship among these gateways by controlling via orchestrators. We also implement the prototype system, indicate its effectiveness from the viewpoints of throughput and processing time.
