Intelligent Computation Offloading Mechanism with Content Cache in Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

Edge computing is a promising technology to enable user equipment to share computing resources for task offloading. Due to the characteristics of the computing resource, how to design an efficient computation incentive mechanism with the appropriate task offloading and resource allocation strategies is an essential issue. In this manuscript, we proposed an intelligent computation offloading mechanism with content cache in mobile edge computing. First, we provide the network framework for computation offloading with content cache in mobile edge computing. Then, by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions, an optimal contract is designed to obtain the joint task offloading, resource allocation, and a computation strategy with an intelligent mechanism. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed approach.
