Energy-Efficient Offloading and Resource Allocation for Mobile Edge Computing Enabled Mission-Critical Internet-of-Things Systems

Abstract

The energy cost minimization for mission-critical internet-of-things (IoT) in mobile edge computing (MEC) system is investigated in this work. Therein, short data packets are transmitted between the IoT devices and the access points (APs) to reduce transmission latency and prolong the battery life of the IoT devices. The effects of short-packet transmission on the radio resource allocation is explicitly revealed. We mathematically formulate the energy cost minimization problem as a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem, which is difficult to solve in an optimal way. More specifically, the difficulty is essentially derived from the coupling of the binary offloading variables and the resource management among all the IoT devices. For analytical tractability, we decouple the mixed-integer and non-convex optimization problem into two sub-problems, namely, the task offloading decision-making and the resource optimization problems, respectively. It is proved that the resource allocation problem for IoT devices under the fixed offloading strategy is convex. On this basis, an iterative algorithm is designed, whose performance is comparable to the best solution for exhaustive search, and aims to jointly optimize the offloading strategy and resource allocation. Simulation results verify the convergence performance and energy-saving function of the designed joint optimization algorithm. Compared with the extensive baselines under comprehensive parameter settings, the algorithm has better energy-saving effects.

A Survey on Offloading in Federated Cloud-Edge-Fog Systems with Traditional Optimization and Machine Learning

“…Although traditional optimization has been used for years, it takes much time to generate decisions because of a network's complexity and the very large number of variables involved. The non-convex algorithms in traditional optimization perform an exhaustive search to find an optimal solution, and which takes much time to converge [11]. Modern applications are latency sensitive and cannot afford such delays in offloading decisions, as the control and data planes need a decision in milliseconds to subseconds.…”

The Usage of Designing the Urban Sculpture Scene Based on Edge Computing

“…e core layer is the core of the urban sculpture edge system architecture, which mainly includes the basic data center, the infrastructure center, and the basic component center. e core layer is responsible for the management and evaluation of various data collected in the urban sculpture fringe system [20]. For example, in the entire urban sculpture fringe system, the core layer can collect data such as which sculpture location has the highest traffic volume in a certain period, which location has the highest safety incident rate and find out the corresponding reasons to optimize the system.…”
