Aiming at the challenge of timely offloading computation intensive task for mobile users in mobile edge computing, a multi-user task offloading strategy based on game theory was proposed. The strategy utilizes the Stackelberg game theory to maintain the dominant game relationship between MEC servers and mobile users, adjusting their respective strategies until their respective utility is maximized. Besides, the optimal utility can be achieved by considering the effect of the full information interaction model on the utility function and performing a fine-grained local offloading of the uninstall task. This research demonstrates that the game exists Nash equilibrium solution, and a dynamic distributed algorithm is proposed to solve it. Simulation results prove that the above strategy can effectively improve the utility mean value.
