This module implements a generator of requests to be sent to the LocationService. This application can be instantiated as an "independent MEC app" (see MecHost module), meaning it does not need to be instantiated via the MEC orchestrator upon request from a User Equipment. Specifically, this module produces batches of GET requests, as generated by a configurable number of MEC applications running on the MEC host. The effect of such requests is to delay the service of actual requests (i.e., those originating from complete MEC applications)
