Abstract

The work on perfecting the rapid proliferation of wireless technologies resulted in the development of wireless modeling standards, protocols, and control of wireless manipulators. Several mobile communication technology applications in different fields are dramatically revolutionized to deliver more value at less cost. Multiple-access Edge Computing (MEC) offers excellent advantages for Beyond 5G (B5G) and Sixth-Generation (6G) networks, reducing latency and bandwidth usage while increasing the capability of the edge to deliver multiple services to end users in real time. We propose a Cluster-based Multi-User Multi-Server (CMUMS) caching algorithm to optimize the MEC content caching mechanism and control the distribution of high-popular tasks. As part of our work, we address the problem of integer optimization of the content that will be cached and the list of hosting servers. Therefore, a higher direct hit rate will be achieved, a lower indirect hit rate will be achieved, and the overall time delay will be reduced. As a result of the implementation of this system model, maximum utilization of resources and development of a completely new level of services and innovative approaches will be possible.

Keywords: 6G; B5G; CMUMS caching; MEC.
