Abstract

Mobile cloud computing promises a research foundation in information and communication technology (ICT). Multi-access edge computing is an intermediate solution that reduces latency by delivering cloud computing services close to IoT and mobile clients (MCs), hence addressing the performance issues of mobile cloud computing. However, the provisioning of resources is a significant and challenging process in mobile cloud-based environments as it organizes the heterogeneous sensing and processing capacities to provide the customers with an elastic pool of resources. Resource provisioning techniques must meet quality of service (QoS) considerations such as availability, responsiveness, and reliability to avoid service-level agreement (SLA) breaches. This investigation is essential because of the unpredictable change in service demands from diverse regions and the limits of MEC's available computing resources. In this study, resource provisioning approaches for mobile cloud computing are thoroughly and comparatively studied and classified as taxonomies of previous research. The paper concludes with an insightful summary that gives recommendations for future enhancements.
