service continuity for cloud-enabled WiFi networks called
ARNAB: ARchitecture for traNsparent service continuity viA
douBle-tier migration. The term arnab means rabbit in Arabic. It
is dubbed for the proposed service architecture because a mobileuser
service with ARNAB behaves like a rabbit hopping through
the WiFi infrastructure. To deliver continuous services, deploying
edge clouds is not sufficient. Users may travel far from the initial
serving edge and also perform multiple WiFi handoffs during
mobility. To solve this, ARNAB employs a double-tier migration
scheme. One migration tier is for user connectivity, and the other
one is for edge applications. Our experimental results show that
ARNAB can not only enable continuous service delivery but
also outperform the existing work in the area of container live
migration across edge clouds.[+][-]
