Abstract
- By fully exploiting the cooperative communication capacities among mobile terminals (MTs), the MTs can adapt the offloading designs well to the practical network with dynamic features. In this paper, joint multi-user cooperative partial offloading, transmission scheduling and computation allocating is discussed for device-to-device (D2D) underlay mobile edge computing (MEC). By considering stochastic application requests, unpredictable MTs states, time-varying channel states and computation resources, a customized application offloading model, which aims to minimize the network-wide response latency and energy consumption simultaneously, is formulated. In order to solve this non-convex and non-smooth optimization problem, an online resource coordinating and allocating scheme (ORCAS) is proposed by exploiting Lyapunov optimization theory, variable substitution technique and resource provisioning priority mechanism. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ORCAS can 1) drive the application response cost converge to the minimum; 2) achieve superior performance (e.g., the average network-wide response cost under ORCAS is approximately 19.14% lower than that under partial offloading directly); 3) adapt to dynamic situations in terms of stochastic user demands and channel states.
