Distributed Mechanism for Computation Offloading Task Routing in Mobile Edge Cloud Network
Lijun Dong, Richard Z. Li · 2019 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC) · 2019
The paper proposes a distributed mechanism for computation offloading task routing and dispatching in Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) networks, based on an evolutional Internet framework named Big IP (BPP). The necessary information for computation offloading requests and server status updates is proposed in the paper, which can be carried in the Instructions and Metadata blocks as the extensions to the current IP packet. The numerical results are given to show the performance efficiency of the proposed BPP based mechanism in providing the high precision latency guarantee and reducing the control overhead for computation offloading.
