Mobile MEC users form a transient population with varying requirements.
“Mobile MEC users form a transient population with varying requirements [96].”
From Edge AI: A survey (2023) · cites this paper as [96]
The “Cloud, Mobile & IoT” and “Fog and Edge Computing” sections discuss mobile devices and edge infrastructure, but do not describe MEC users as a transient population or say their requirements vary. Searches for those user characteristics found no passage addressing them in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredStrategies for avoiding overloading and disaster management procedures for recovering non-functional base stations were central to Multi-access Edge Computing.
“Central to MEC were strategies for avoiding overloading and “disaster management” procedures for recovering non-functional base stations [96].”
From Edge AI: A survey (2023) · cites this paper as [96]
The ‘Fog and Edge Computing (2010-present)’ section discusses edge infrastructure and decentralized workflows, but not Multi-access Edge Computing strategies for preventing overload or recovering base stations. Searches for disaster management, non-functional base stations, and MEC overload found no passage addressing those procedures. Page numbers were unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
