ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the functional aspects of each centric system in the network. It discusses the features of fog computing, edge computing, and multi-access edge computing in centric-based networking systems. Centric-based networking systems integrate the services of wired and wireless communication networks to provide secure and reliable services to end users. Network-centric networking is a combination of wired and wireless devices that emphasize the role of handoff and location update in the network. User-centric networking applies pre-defined rules to improve data accessibility per user requirements and defines the trade-off between user requirements and data rates. Machine processing and information generating systems create the interoperable cluster of machines and humans known as information of networks. Logical virtualizations of a service-oriented Information-Centric Networking system enable the service providers to share the virtual resources with mobile virtual network operators, and facilitate services to end-to-end devices.
