The edge of the network has the potential to host services for supporting a variety of user applications, ranging in complexity from data preprocessing, image and video rendering, and interactive gaming, to embedded systems in autonomous…
Under several emerging application scenarios, such as in smart cities, operational monitoring of large infrastructure, wearable assistance, and Internet of Things, continuous data streams must be processed under very short delays. Several…
As billions of devices get connected to the Internet, it will not be sustainable to use the cloud as a centralised server. The way forward is to decentralise computations away from the cloud towards the edge of the network closer to the…
In the online metric bipartite matching problem, we are given a set $S$ of server locations in a metric space. Requests arrive one at a time, and on its arrival, we need to immediately and irrevocably match it to a server at a cost which is…
Demand-side management presents significant benefits in reducing the energy load in smart grids by balancing consumption demands or including energy generation and/or storage devices in the user's side. These techniques coordinate the…
Placement of edge servers is the prerequisite of provisioning edge computing services for Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Fixed-site edge servers at Road Side Units (RSUs) or base stations are able to offer basic service coverage for end users,…
In this work, we study an upgrading scheme for online resource allocation problems. We work in a sequential setting, where at each round a request for a resource arrives and the decision-maker has to decide whether to accept it (and thus,…
In an edge-cloud multi-tier network, datacenters provide services to mobile users, with each service having specific latency constraints and computational requirements. Deploying such a variety of services while matching their requirements…
Collaborative edge computing (CEC) is an emerging paradigm for heterogeneous devices to collaborate on edge computation jobs. For congestible links and computing units, delay-optimal forwarding and offloading for service chain tasks (e.g.,…
We consider a multi-user multi-server mobile edge computing (MEC) system, in which users arrive on a network randomly over time and generate computation tasks, which will be computed either locally on their own computing devices or be…
Contrary to using distant and centralized cloud data center resources, employing decentralized resources at the edge of a network for processing data closer to user devices, such as smartphones and tablets, is an upcoming computing…
With the explosive demands for data, content delivery networks are facing ever-increasing challenges to meet end-users quality-of-experience requirements, especially in terms of delay. Content can be migrated from surrogate servers to local…
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) enables rich services in close proximity to the end users to provide high quality of experience (QoE) and contributes to energy conservation compared with local computing, but results in increased communication…
This paper considers a practical mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where edge server does not pre-install the program required to perform user offloaded computing tasks. A partial program offloading (PPO) scheme is proposed, which can…
In the edge computing paradigm, mobile devices offload the computational tasks to an edge server by routing the required data over the wireless network. The full potential of edge computing becomes realized only if a smart device selects…
Many cloud-based applications employ a data centre as a central server to process data that is generated by edge devices, such as smartphones, tablets and wearables. This model places ever increasing demands on communication and…
Provided with mobile edge computing (MEC) services, wireless devices (WDs) no longer have to experience long latency in running their desired programs locally, but can pay to offload computation tasks to the edge server. Given its limited…
Driven by great demands on low-latency services of the edge devices (EDs), mobile edge computing (MEC) has been proposed to enable the computing capacities at the edge of the radio access network. However, conventional MEC servers suffer…
Mobile edge caching enables content delivery directly within the radio access network, which effectively alleviates the backhaul burden and reduces round-trip latency. To fully exploit the edge resources, the most popular contents should be…
This paper addresses the challenge of edge caching in dynamic environments, where rising traffic loads strain backhaul links and core networks. We propose a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)-based caching strategy that fully incorporates…
