An access node of a mobile communication network controls access of a group of user equipments to the mobile communication network. The access node selects one or more of the user equipments of the group as candidate user equipment for supporting mobile edge computing. The access node then sends an indication of the one or more candidate user equipments to a mobile edge computing server. The mobile edge computing server receives the indication and selects at least one target user equipment for execution of computational tasks from the candidate user equipments. The mobile edge computing server then distributes a computational task to the selected at least one target user equipment.
