Acacia – Context-aware Edge Computing for Continuous Interactive Applications over Mobile Networks∗Research Paper • October 18th, 2016
There is widespread agreement that future continuous in- teractive (CI) applications will require edge computing ca- pabilities from mobile networks. There is also widespread expectation that the emerging 5G network architecture, with its constituent technology components, will be the context in which this will be realized. Indeed many of the components that will be part of such an environment have been studied in standalone manner. However, the question of whether an end-to-end combination of these components would sat- isfy application requirements, or indeed, how these compo- nents would be combined into service offerings by mobile network providers, have not been meaningfully addressed. Towards addressing these challenges, we propose ACACIA- a service abstraction framework that enables CI applications on edge clouds in mobile networks. Evaluation of our pro- totype implementation shows that our holistic approach pro- vides a 70% end-to-end application level latency reduction when c
