Optimization Strategy of Task Offloading with Wireless and Computing Resource Management in Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) provides user equipment (UE) with computing capability through wireless networks to improve the quality of experience (QoE). The scenario with multiple base stations and multiple mobile users is modeled and analyzed. The optimization strategy of task offloading with wireless and computing resource management (TOWCRM) in mobile edge computing is considered. A resource allocation algorithm based on an improved graph coloring method is used to allocate wireless resource blocks (RBs). The optimal solution of computing resource is obtained by using KKT conditions. To improve the system utility, a semi-distributed TOWCRM strategy is proposed to obtain the task offloading decision. Theoretical simulations under different system parameters are executed, and the proposed semi-distributed TOWCRM strategy can be completed with finite iterations. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
