Mobile edge computing is popular for providing services with low latency and high privacy. It becomes more powerful by leveraging the widely deployed Small cell Base Stations (SBS) with zooming cells for energy-efficient service placement. However, the literature ignores the joint optimization of SBS power control and service placement. The Quality of Services (QoS) guarantee is also challenging, taking into account the component dependency and parallelization in multi-component services and the resource slicing for separated service deployment. Moreover, prior works assume the same amount of allocated resources of links on a placed path for service edge allocation, leading to the ossification of resource allocation and inevitable resource fragments. Towards the above challenges, this paper addresses the energy-efficient and flexible service placement in cell zooming enabled Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) networks. The delay of multi-component services is constructed depending on the allocated resource slice. Besides, the joint optimization of service placement and SBS power control is formulated and transformed into a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). More importantly, the equivalent bandwidth for an edge allocation is defined and analyzed to obtain flexible edge placement with minimum resource cost. Leveraging the results of MILP, an Energy-efficient Service placement algorithm based on equivalent Bandwidth in Cell zooming enabled MEC networks (ESBC) is proposed to improve the probability of successful service placement with QoS guarantee by optimizing the delay distribution among components and edges and reducing resource fragments. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
