We can identify the edge region to which a user belongs in real time while moving by leveraging mobile sensing technology. We employ a
dynamic echo state network
characterized by multi-service adaptability to retain information about services invoked by users to ensure real-time training and forecasting accuracy. Our approach is validated through a series of experiments using both public and collected datasets. The experiments demonstrate that MEC-RDESN achieves the goal of fast forecasting while ensuring its forecasting accuracy in diverse application scenarios.
