Abstract
A method is disclosed for handling cloud computing resources in a wireless communication network (100) comprising a first and a second access subnetwork (110, 120) providing wireless access to wireless communication devices (180) residing in a first and a second geographic area, respectively, and a first and a second cloud computing resource (130, 140) connected to the first and the second access subnetwork (110, 120), respectively. The method comprises obtaining mobility information over a time period for the wireless communication devices (180) of when, during the time period, each of the devices (180) has wireless access to the communication network (100) via the first access subnetwork (110) and when they have wireless access to the communication network (100) via the second access subnetwork (120). The method also comprises selecting which of the first or second cloud computing resource (130, 140) that is to serve each of the devices (180) based on the obtained mobility information, and sending an instruction to each of the devices (180) to connect to a server that is connected to the selected cloud computing resource for that wireless communication device (180).
