Abstract

The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a new paradigm that can meet the growing computing needs of mobile applications. Terminal devices can transfer tasks to MEC servers nearby to improve the quality of computing. In this paper, we investigate the multi-user computation offloading problem for mobile-edge computing. We study two different computation models, local computing and edge computing. First, we drive the expressions for time delay and energy consumption for local and edge computing. Then, we propose a server partitioning algorithm based on clustering. We propose a task scheduling and offloading algorithm in a multi-users MEC system. We formulate the tasks offloading decision problem as a multi-user game, which always has a Nash equilibrium. Our proposed algorithms are finally verified by numerical results, which show that the scheduling strategy based on clustering can significantly reduce the energy consumption and overhead.
