INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF 4G NETWORKS ON CLOUD COMPUTING PERFORMANCE

ABSTRACT The advent of 4G technology promises to revolutionize various aspects of modern computing, including cloud computing performance. With its enhanced speed, lower latency, and increased device connectivity, 4G has the potential to overcome many limitations faced by current network architectures in delivering cloud services. This study investigates how the features of 4G networks influence key performance metrics of cloud computing, such as data transfer rates, service responsiveness, and scalability. By leveraging simulation models and real-world experiments, the research explores the relationship between 4G capabilities and the quality of cloud services across different industries. Additionally, the study evaluates the potential for 4G to enable edge computing, reduce latency in mission-critical applications, and support emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT). The findings aim to inform cloud service providers and network operators about the strategic advantages of integrating 4G into their infrastructures.
