What is the primary goal of MEC?

  1. To reduce latency and improve bandwidth for edge applications

  2. To provide centralized cloud services to remote devices

  3. To enhance the security of mobile networks

  4. To enable real-time data processing and analytics at the edge


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

MEC aims to bring cloud computing capabilities closer to the edge of the network, reducing latency and improving bandwidth for applications that require real-time responsiveness.

Which of the following is NOT a key challenge in MEC?

  1. Resource allocation and management

  2. Security and privacy

  3. Energy efficiency

  4. Data center virtualization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data center virtualization is not a key challenge in MEC, as it is primarily concerned with optimizing resource utilization and management within cloud data centers.

What is the main benefit of deploying MEC servers at the edge of the network?

  1. Reduced latency and improved bandwidth

  2. Increased scalability and reliability

  3. Enhanced security and privacy

  4. Lower operational costs


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Deploying MEC servers at the edge of the network reduces latency and improves bandwidth for edge applications by bringing cloud computing capabilities closer to the end users.

Which of the following is NOT a potential application of MEC?

  1. Augmented reality and virtual reality

  2. Self-driving cars

  3. Smart cities

  4. Enterprise resource planning


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is typically not considered a potential application of MEC, as it is a business management software that is typically deployed in centralized data centers.

What is the primary focus of research in MEC?

  1. Developing efficient resource allocation algorithms
