12. The device of claim 11, wherein the one or more processors, to selectively initiate the MEC handoff of the UE to the first MEC device or the second MEC device based on comparing the latency requirement, the third latency, and the fourth latency, are configured to:
perform a MEC proactive handoff to the first MEC device or the second MEC device,
wherein the MEC proactive handoff is a particular MEC handoff that is initiated when a current serving MEC device of the UE provides a particular latency performance or when the current serving MEC device of the UE fails to provide the particular latency performance; or

perform a MEC pre-handoff to the first MEC device or the second MEC device,
wherein the MEC pre-handoff prepares the first MEC device or the second MEC device to support the UE prior to the MEC handoff.
