Lyapunov-Guided Delay-Aware Energy Efficient Offloading in IIoT-MEC Systems

Huaming Wu et al.

Summary: With the increasing operation of intelligent Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, there is a growing demand for low latency and low power consumption due to the proliferation of delay-sensitive and compute-intensive (DSCI) devices. Offloading DSCI-type workloads to mobile edge computing (MEC) servers can help extend battery life and improve user experience, but it may result in higher energy consumption and communication delay. This article proposes a delay-aware energy-efficient (DAEE) online offloading algorithm that can minimize energy consumption and maintain low latency for DSCI-type tasks.

Energy-Efficient Hybrid Offloading for Backscatter-Assisted Wirelessly Powered MEC With Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

Shayan Zargari et al.

Summary: In this study, a wireless power transfer (WPT)-based backscatter-mobile edge computing (MEC) network with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is investigated. The network allows wireless devices (WDs) to offload task bits and harvest energy, and switch between backscatter communication (BC) and active transmission (AT) modes. By optimizing various parameters and utilizing the RIS, the energy efficiency (EE) is maximized. The results show significant improvements in system throughput and energy consumption compared to benchmark schemes, with an example of achieving 150% improvement in EE using a 20-element RIS.
