Mobile networks are facing unprecedented challenges due to the traits of large scale,
heterogeneity, and high mobility. Fortunately, the emergence of fog computing offers …

In this study, the authors present an energy‐efficient technique for the fog‐networks, where a
node can communicate to other users using limited network infrastructure support. The …

Fog computing is an epitome to enable provisioning resources and services beyond the
cloud, at the edge of the network, and nearer to end devices. Fog computing is not a …

Fog-based radio access networks (F-RAN) are posed to play a pivotal role in the much-
anticipated 5 th Generation (5G) cellular networks. The philosophy of F-RAN is to harness …

Fog computing has recently emerged as a new cyber foraging technique to offload resource-
intensive tasks from mobile devices to mobile cloudlets in close proximity to endusers. Since …

Challenging 5G requirements have been proposed to enable the provision of more
satisfactory services to users. One of the most critical 5G enhancements is extremely low …

The articles in this special section examine fog computing which has received considerable
attention in various application domains, especially those including time-sensitive …

The mobility of end users in fog-computing environment necessitates the need for task
offloading and migration. But, the resource-constrained nature of the fog devices makes …

In this article, we propose a software-defined fog architecture, named as Soft-Health, to
serve various Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based healthcare applications. The health conditions …

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communications system is envisioned to serve various
mission-critical services such as industrial automation, cloud robotics, and safety-critical …
