Problems solved by technology

Considering the selfishness of each mobile device (that is, each device wants to minimize its own task completion delay) and the selfishness of wireless access points (minimizing the total completion delay of received tasks), The task offloading and assignment problem is a complex one due to the interactivity of offloading decisions for mobile devices and assignment decisions for APs and the absence of a centralized operator to make joint decisions for all mobile devices and APs
In recent years, although some related works have studied the problem of task offloading in edge computing systems, they did not consider the task assignment between edge terminals, thus failing to make full use of wireless access points with multiple wired connections. The computing resources of the multi-access edge computing system

Abstract

The invention relates to a task unloading and dispatching method in a multi-access edge computing system, in particular to an unloading and dispatching method for minimizing the completion time delayof each task in an edge computing system. In the edge computing system considering selfish of a mobile device and a wireless access point, a task unloading and dispatching problem is modeled into a multi-master-slave Stackelberg game, and a decentralization method is designed to enable mobile equipment to autonomously select an unloading decision and balance the workload of a wireless access point, so that the time delay solved by each task is minimized. An algorithm is not adopted to execute the following steps in sequence: firstly, an unloading strategy updating method based on a Q value isadopted to calculate an optimal task unloading decision for each mobile intelligent device; then, the task assignment decision balance of each access point is updated based on an optimal response dynamic method; and the above steps are repeated until the unloading decision of the mobile device converges.
