Abstract:

Computation offloading technology in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) offloads resource-intensive applications on mobile user devices to edge servers. It can solve the deficiencies of mobile devices in terms of computing power, storage capacity, and energy efficiency. Orienting to the LTE, a multi-user computation offloading approach for MEC environment is proposed, which can jointly optimize mobile users’ delay and MEC servers’ resource allocation balance. First, a mobile edge computing system model is designed, on the basis of which an objective function for jointly optimizing the average computation offloading delay and resource allocation balance is constructed. And then with the goal of minimizing the offloading delay of mobile users and allocating MEC server resources in a balanced manner, the optimal solution is solved, and the computation offloading is implemented reasonably. Simulation results show that the approach can effectively reduce the average offloading delay of multi-users, and balance the workload of MEC servers at the same time.

Key words: mobile edge computing, computation offloading, mobile edge computing server, offloading delay
