Luan, Tom H., et al.

(2015) [32] described that “with smart devices, particular smartphones,

becoming our everyday companions, the ubiquitous mobile Internet and computing applications

pervade people daily lives. With the surge demand on high-quality mobile services at anywhere,

how to address the ubiquitous user demand and accommodate the explosive growth of mobile

traffics is the key issue of the next generation mobile networks. The Fog computing is a

promising solution towards this goal. Fog computing extends cloud computing by providing

virtualized resources and engaged location-based services to the edge of the mobile networks so

as to better serve mobile traffics. Therefore, Fog computing is a lubricant of the combination of

cloud computing and mobile applications. In this article, they outlined the main features of Fog

computing and describe its concept, architecture and design goals. Lastly, we discuss some of the

future research issues from the networking perspective”.
