Comparison of scheduling algorithms for multiple mobile computing edge clouds

5G networks are anticipated to provide service for vertical industries. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) framework is a physical infrastructure improvement to host mobile applications for the introduction of new service provisioning in 5G networks. Application Orchestration is responsible for scheduling user sessions to application instances. In this paper, we propose four scheduling algorithms to assign sessions in a system with multiple MEC clouds. Results show that scheduling based on the occupancy level of MECs is quite robust in various scenarios and can be applied with the fractional guard channel policy to provide service.
