Energy minimization for delay constrained mobile edge computing with orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiple access

Published: 01 March 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is envisioned as a promising technology for enhancing the computation capacities and prolonging the lifespan of mobile devices, by enabling mobile devices to offload computation-intensive tasks to servers in close proximity. For wireless communication, MEC introduces a new scenario, where computations are performed directly at the receiving side of the wireless links. Our objective is therefore to evaluate the importance of joint radio-and-computational resource allocation and spectral efficiency enhancing techniques in this new scenario. We formulate the resource allocation problem to minimize the energy consumption of computation offloading of delay sensitive tasks and propose near-optimal solutions for both orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiple access schemes, with the optimal joint allocation of computing resources and transmission power. Our numerical results demonstrate the superiority of non-orthogonal multiple access over its orthogonal counterpart and the importance of joint resource allocation, especially in scenarios with strict delay limits, where both the transmission and the computational resources are scarce.
