  • Publication number: 20240103915
    Abstract: A task offloading and resource allocation method in an uncertain network environment is provided. A task offloading process is modeled as a two-stage offloading model. The model is optimized to a task offloading and resource allocation problem based on two-stage stochastic programming. Based on a stochastic simulation algorithm, the task offloading and resource allocation problem is transformed to a sample mean approximation problem. The sample mean approximation problem is decoupled to a local computing resource allocation sub-problem, a transmission power and edge computing resource joint allocation sub-problem, and an offloading decision sub-problem. The three sub-problems are solved respectively by using a standard Lagrange multiplier algorithm, by using a genetic algorithm, and by analyzing delay estimation and energy consumption budget of local computing and delay estimation and energy consumption budget of edge computing.

  • Publication number: 20240072254
    Abstract: Disclosed are a positive electrode plate and a battery. A relationship is established between a thickness of an electrode plate, distribution of lithium cobalt oxide with a structure of different contents of element aluminum, and full battery cycling performance. That is, based on a thickness of the electrode plate, lithium cobalt oxide with an appropriate content of the element aluminum is selected, and distribution in a thickness direction of the positive electrode plate is changed, so that the content of Al in the thickness direction of the electrode plate generally presents a distribution trend of less content of Al in a bottom layer and more content of Al in a top layer. In this way, a problem of deterioration of high temperature cycling of a lithium-ion battery due to decreased structural stability of existing lithium cobalt oxide may be solved.
