Abstract
The distributed cooperative offloading technique with wireless setting and power transmission provides a possible solution to meet the requirements of next-generation Multi-access Edge Computation (MEC). MEC is a model which avails cloud computing the aptitude to smoothly compute data at the edge of a largely dense network and in nearness to smart communicating devices (SCDs). This paper presents a cooperative offloading technique based on the Lagrangian Suboptimal Convergent Computation Offloading Algorithm (LSCCOA) for multi-access MEC in a distributed Internet of Things (IoT) network. A computational competition of the SCDs for limited resources which tends to obstructs smooth task offloading for MEC in an IoT high demand network is considered. The proposed suboptimal computational algorithm is implemented to perform task offloading which is optimized at the cloud edge server without relocating it to the centralized network. These resulted in a minimized weighted sum of transmit power consumption and outputs as a mixed-integer optimization problem. Also, the derived fast-convergent suboptimal algorithm is implemented to resolve the non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. In conclusion, simulation results are performed to prove that the proposed algorithm substantially outperforms recent techniques with regards to energy efficiency, energy consumption reduction, throughput, and transmission delay performance.
