Title
Adaptive Cooperative Task Offloading for Energy-Efficient Small Cell MEC Networks
Abstract
Cooperative task offloading has emerged as a compelling computing paradigm for balancing spatially uneven task workloads and computational resources in distributed mobile edge computing (MEC) systems. However, enabling cooperation among multiple MEC nodes inevitably requires extra communication and computational energy overheads which might counteract the cooperation gain without energy-efficient offloading mechanisms. This paper presents an adaptive cooperative task offloading algorithm aiming at maximizing the time-averaged energy efficiency for small cell MEC networks enabled by millimeter-wave backhauls. With the considered network dynamics, the proposed algorithm makes a good tradeoff between the harvested cooperation utility and the total energy consumption in the long term. In addition, our algorithm ensures the network stability and fulfills the task admission rate requirement of each individual user equipment, by making slot-based decisions over time without requiring a-priori knowledge of the network dynamics. Simulation results verify the outstanding performance of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the static cooperative and adaptive non-cooperative schemes.
