A Survey of Multi-Access Edge Computing in 5G and Beyond: Fundamentals, Technology Integration, and State-of-the-Art (2019, neutral): “llenging due to the extreme burden on bandwidth constraints and the network congestion. One of the very ﬁrst edge computing concepts, so-called cloudlet, was proposed by Satyanarayanan et al. in 2009 [9]. The authors deﬁned a cloudlet as a trusted and resourcerich computer or a cluster of computers ”

To offload or not to offload? The bandwidth and energy costs of mobile cloud computing (2013, background): “Other works describe frameworks that enable offloading for applications in general, as long as the application builder correctly identifies and tags either code binary or methods as “off-loadable” [14], [3], [9], [2].”
