Multi-user Multi-channel Computation Offloading and Resource Allocation for Mobile Edge Computing

Published in IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2020

Each user equipment (UE) in the system has a computation-intensive and time-sensitive task that needs to be executed either locally or remotely in an MEC server. All UE tasks have individual deadline constraints that are treated as soft constraints. The MEC server has limited computational resources, which impose hard constraints on the overall offloading computation capacity. The optimum design is performed with respect to three decision parameters: whether to offload a given task, which wireless channel to use during offloading, and how much MEC resources should be allocated for an offloaded task.
