Abstract
En 中文
Mobile edge computing is considered as a promising method to release the computation burden of mobile devices (MDs) by transferring the computation tasks to the nearby edge server. In this paper, we address the computation offloading problem by jointly optimizing offloading-decision making, multi-user multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO) precoding and computation resource allocation. The optimization problem is formulated as the minimization of the weighted sum of energy consumption and time delay of MDs, which is a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem. Due to the complexity of offloading time delay, we consider two special cases namely, the lower bound and upper bound of offloading time delay for the original problem, and exploit semidefinite relaxation and rounding methods to obtain the offloading decisions. Specially, we adopt the quadratic transform based fractional programming and the weighted minimum mean square error methods to solve the MU-MIMO precoding design problem for the two cases of offloading time delay, respectively. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, and show that the application of multi-antenna MU-MIMO communication into MEC can sufficently reduce the energy consumption and time delay during computation offloading.
