Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has become an attractive solution to enhance the computing and storage capacity of mobile devices by leveraging available resources on edge nodes. In MEC, the arrivals of tasks are highly dynamic and are hard to predict precisely. It is of great importance yet very challenging to assign the tasks to edge nodes with guaranteed system performance. In this article, we aim to optimize the revenue earned by each edge node by optimally offloading tasks to the edge nodes. We formulate the revenue-driven online task offloading (ROTO) problem, which is proved to be NP-hard. We first relax ROTO to a linear fractional programming problem, for which we propose the Level Balanced Allocation (LBA) algorithm. We then show the performance guarantee of LBA through rigorous theoretical analysis, and present the LB-Rounding algorithm for ROTO using the primal-dual technique. The algorithm achieves an approximation ratio of 2(1+xi)ln(d+1) with a considerable probability, where d is the maximum number of process slots of an edge node and xi is a small constant. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated through both trace-driven simulations and testbed experiments. Results show that our proposed scheme is more efficient compared to baseline algorithms.
