TelcoFog: A unified flexible fog and cloud computing architecture for 5G networks
We propose the TelcoFog architecture as a novel, secure, highly distributed and ultra-dense fog computing infrastructure, which can be allocated at the extreme edge of a wired/wireless network for a Telecom Operator to provide multiple unified, cost-effective and new 5G services, such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), and services for third parties (e.g., smart cities, vertical industries or Internet of Things (IoT)). ; Grant numbers : DESTELLO (TEC2015-69256-R), and CellFive (TEC2014-60130-P) and the Catalan Government (2014-SGR-1551). © 2017 IEEE.
