Abstract
A resource allocation device includes: a course estimation unit that estimates a course of each mobile terminal based on a location of a mobile terminal acquired from a network device, and estimates a probability that each mobile terminal is located in each area at time of prediction; a determination unit that calculates, for each area, the number of mobile terminals in the area using the probability and determines whether the maximum value of an overcommit ratio for each area exceeds an upper limit; and an execution unit that executes the allocation or release of resources to an MEC server group located in each area when the maximum value of the overcommit ratio is equal to or less than the upper limit, and refrains from executing the allocation or release of the resources to the MEC server group when the maximum value of the overcommit ratio exceeds the upper limit.
