Secured Optimized Resource Allocation in Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) uses multiple mobiles to compute several complex tasks that are unable to compute on a single device. Taking advantage of all abundant mobile resources and making a mobile cloud from them will be useful. This study aims to propose and implement a novel framework to cover challenges raised by application execution on resource-constrained devices. The purpose is to overcome the waste of resources in MEC and provide time efficiency to the data packets that are sent and received between offloaded and offloading devices. The main task of MEC is to offload tasks by first selecting resources and then allocating tasks to selected resources. A multiple linear regression algorithm is used for the selection of compatible devices. Particle swarm optimization techniques are used as a benchmark technique to design an algorithm for optimized resource allocation. Multiple mobile devices acted as a major component for making edge clouds. The study finds that response time of processing tasks is reduced, ineffectual resources become beneficial, increase in demand for mobile devices, and usage of mobile resources as a replacement for mobile edge cloud servers. Abundant resource usage of two or more edge clouds, that is, interedge resource usage is the originality of this research, while others are using intraedge resources only.
