Fog computing-based networking is a promising solution for better QoS and QoE in cutting-edge mobile communication networks. It guarantees and improves the network services and provides a computable solution to analyze big-data management systems and provide a better user-centric network experience to mobile networks subscribers. The Fog networking is an augmentation of the 5G network and will build a unique framework to improve network capability, and provide a faster real-time interface to network enabled applications. Fog Networking is the next-generation paradigm that extends cloud computing services and cellular mobile networking, such as 5G or 5G beyond (5GB) by utilizing the fog computing expertise and adding new interfaces to facilitate the mobile users with improved network performance.
This workshop introduces a new domain of futuristic mobile cellular networks called “Fog Networks”, and it is complementary to cloud-aided cellular networks. The proposed workshop provides the opportunity to identify the major challenges, advancements, analysis, optimization, and performance in fog networks, which arise due to distinct features of fog computing and networking. This workshop will provide a platform to discuss the necessary modification, optimization, methodology, and possible solutions for its deployment. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fog architectures for next generation cellular networks such as 5G and 5GB.
- Fog computing service and applications for cellular networks.
