WiCloud: Innovative uses of network data on smart campus

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) aims to provide mobile and cloud computing capabilities within the radio access network, and emphasizes the openness of the internet which can transfer the real-time radio network information into context-related services. In this article, we research the state-of-the-art technology of mobile and cloud convergence, then propose WiCloud, a MEC platform, which integrates an edge data center into wireless network to provide edge networking, proximate computing and data acquisition for innovative services. Moreover, we do a series experiment to verify the performance of WiCloud, and according to the campus scenes, we developed four kinds of applications to demonstrate the capability of the ecosystem to promote the process of Smart Campus.
