Efficient Wireless Communication in Mobile Edge Computing: Channel Allocation Problem

Mobile Edge Computing is a promising computing paradigm due to its proximity to the end user and the ability to offload computation to an edge server. The main feature that distinguishes Mobile Edge Computing from Cloud and Fog computing is computation offloading, it enables mobile users to offload their workload to be processed in a fast and efficient way. Nowadays, wireless devices are in a constant evolution, whether in terms of the hardware or the software. However, the applications running on these devices require high computing and storage resources. In this process, data must be uploaded and downloaded, which requires high bandwidth and multiple network channels in order to deploy a channel allocation strategy for optimization purposes. In a previous work, we examined the impact of network delay on offloading tasks from a mobile device to a nearby edge server, this delay is caused by network channels and their bandwidth. In this paper, we study network modeling in a cellular network to improve the quality of wireless communication in Mobile Edge Computing environments.
