  • 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.
