Abstract:

Faced with multiple users with different delay sensitivities, how to effectively use transmission resources and computing resources in limited edge nodes to ensure the delay and energy requirements of users becomes a key issue. To this end, a joint optimization scheme based on mobile edge computing (MEC) for task offloading and resource allocation is proposed. Firstly, to minimize the total computation time of the offloading tasks at MEC, each user is assigned with the optimal MEC computing resource. Secondly, a resource block (RB) distribution algorithm based on the delay-sensitive, satisfaction degree and quality of RBs is introduced in a distributed manner. Finally, each user makes the offloading decision by comparing the local computational overhead with the offloading computational overhead. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the minimum system overhead by effectively allocating transmission resources and computing resources under the premise of meeting the requirements of high-latency sensitive users.

Key words: resource allocation, mobile edge computing (MEC), delay-sensitive, offloading decision
