An Overview of User-Oriented Computation Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing
Junna Zhang, Xiaoyan Zhao
Abstract
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) can provide the user with computation resources close to the user. In order to cope with stringent requirements of applications on latency and reduce energy consumption, MEC enables to offload highly computation demanding tasks to the edge servers. In this paper, we present a brief overview of user-oriented computation offloading in MEC. We first describe the definition of computation offloading decision, quality of service metric and research scenario. Then we review the existing user-oriented computation offloading approaches from the single user scenario and multiple user scenarios. Finally, we conclude the paper.
