Abstract
Providing uninterrupted service in Fog Computing (FC) is a challenging issue due to mobility of the users and end devices. In this paper, the issue is addressed through the proposed Rank-based Mobility-aware Scheduling (RMS) technique that uses contextual information to rank the resources. The proposed technique is implemented in MobFogSim simulation tool and the results are compared with the existing state-of-the-art Distance-based Mobility-aware Scheduling (DMS) technique. The simulation results show that RMS outperforms DMS in terms of migration time, delay, downtime, tuple lost, and execution time.
