"To overcome latency constrain of common mobile cloud computing, computing capabilities can be integrated into a base station in mobile networks. This exploitation of convergence of mobile networks and cloud computing enables to take advantage of proximity between a user equipment (UE) and its serving station to lower latency and to avoid backhaul overloading due to cloud computing services. This concept of cloud-enabled small cells is known as small cell cloud (SCC). In this paper, we propose algorithm for selection of path between the UE and the cell, which performs computing for this particular UE. As a path selection metrics we consider transmission delay and energy consumed for transmission of offloaded data. The path selection considering both metrics is formulated as Markov Decision Process. Comparing to a conventional delivery of data to the computing small cells, the proposed algorithm enables to reduce the delay by 9% and to increase users' satisfaction with experienced delay by 6.5%." .
