ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a brief overview on the history and current research progress of networking, computing and caching technologies in wireless systems. It discusses the motivations of the integration, followed by the requirements of the integration of networking, caching and computing. The communication and networking technologies of the fifth generation 5G wireless telecommunication networks are being standardized at full speed along the time line of International Mobile Telecommunications IMT for 2020, which is proposed by the International Telecommunication Union ITU. The chapter discusses networking vector that pertains to its capability to deliver data through networks with certain bandwidth and power. The caching vector considered in wireless communication systems pertains to its ability to store a certain amount of data at the infrastructures in the network. The computing vector under consideration pertains to its capability to perform algebraic or logical operations over the information flows within the network.
