Mobile fog computing (MFC) is an emerging paradigm that extends cloud computing (CC) by adding a new layer between the cloud and its end users. With the cloud-aware MFC, the cloud can pre-push certain important resources to the fog to reduce the networking latency and release the traffic burden over the links. The end user then is able to perform offline computing on the fog layer so that only the important results need to be delivered to and stored in the cloud. Moreover, the dense geographical deployment of fog servers enables the system to be aware of the end user's location. Therefore, some location-sensitive applications could be well supported by the fog-aided cloud systems. Note that the cloud-aware MFC is different from the mobile edge computing (MEC), another promising technology for overcoming the shortcomings of CC, since MFC is able to jointly work with the cloud, but MEC is usually defined by the exclusion of CC. Specifically, in MEC, computing applications, data, and services are pushed away from the centralized nodes to the network edge, which enables network edge to run in an isolated environment from the rest of the network and provides access to local resources and data. In contrast, MFC provides not only a system-level horizontal architecture but also a new way to distribute, orchestrate, and manage secure resources across the network rather than just performing computing at the network edge.
