We study online resource allocation in a cloud computing platform, through a posted pricing mechanism: The cloud provider publishes a unit price for each resource type, which may vary over time; upon arrival at the cloud system, a cloud…

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a type of network architecture that provides cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the network. We consider the use case of video surveillance for an university campus running on a 5G-MEC…

Cloud computing allow the users to efficiently and dynamically provision computing resource to meet their IT needs. Cloud Provider offers two subscription plan to the customer namely reservation and on-demand. The reservation plan is…

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and network slicing (NS) paradigms have been envisioned as key enablers for flexible and intelligent manufacturing in the industry 4.0, where a myriad of interconnected machines, sensors, and devices…

Mobile-edge computing (MEC) is an emerging technology for enhancing the computational capabilities of mobile devices and reducing their energy consumption via offloading complex computation tasks to the nearby servers. Multiuser MEC at…

We study the problem of user-scheduling and resource allocation in distributed multi-user, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks implementing user-centric clustering and non-coherent transmission. We formulate a weighted sum-rate…

This letter proposes a new user cooperative offloading protocol called user reciprocity in backscatter communication (BackCom)-aided mobile edge computing systems with efficient computation, whose quintessence is that each user can switch…

Multi-Access edge computing (MEC) is an emerging paradigm where users offload computationally intensive jobs to the Access Point (AP). Given that the AP's resources are shared by selfish users, pricing is a useful tool for incentivising…

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has recently emerged as a promising technology in the 5G era. It is deemed an effective paradigm to support computation-intensive and delay critical applications even at energy-constrained and computation-limited…

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) delivers low-latency services by hosting applications near end-users. To promote sustainability, these systems are increasingly integrated with renewable Energy Harvesting (EH) technologies, enabling…

To improve the quality of computation experience for mobile devices, mobile-edge computing (MEC) is emerging as a promising paradigm by providing computing capabilities within radio access networks in close proximity. Nevertheless, the…

In mobile edge computing (MEC), task offloading can significantly reduce task execution latency and energy consumption of end user (EU). However, edge server (ES) resources are limited, necessitating efficient allocation to ensure the…

Task offloading plays a pivotal role in mobile edge computing, enabling terminal devices to enhance task execution efficiency and conserve energy. However, servers are reluctant to offer services without compensation. Currently, pricing…

Recently, the mobile network operators (MNOs) are exploring more time flexibility with the rollover data plan, which allows the unused data from the previous month to be used in the current month. Motivated by this industry trend, we…

In heterogeneous cellular network, task scheduling for computation offloading is one of the biggest challenges. Most works focus on alleviating heavy burden of macro base stations by moving the computation tasks on macro-cell user equipment…

This paper studies the joint optimization of edge node activation and resource pricing in edge computing, where an edge computing platform provides heterogeneous resources to accommodate multiple services with diverse preferences. We cast…

Cooperative device to device (CD2D) communication has been considered to be a solution to capacity shortage problem. Combining multi-homing and CD2D techniques together can potentially improve network performance. We propose a novel…

This paper explores an idea of demand-supply balance for smart grids in which consumers are expected to play a significant role. The main objective is to motivate the consumer, by maximizing their benefit both as a seller and a buyer, to…

Mobile-edge cloud computing is a new paradigm to provide cloud computing capabilities at the edge of pervasive radio access networks in close proximity to mobile users. In this paper, we first study the multi-user computation offloading…

Mobile Collaborative Internet Access (MCA) enables mobile users to share their Internet through flexible tethering arrangements. This can potentially make better use of network resources. However, from a mobile network operator's (MNO's)…
