Efficient Dependent Task Offloading for Multiple Applications in MEC-Cloud System

Jiagang Liu, Ju Ren, Yongmin Zhang, Xuhong Peng, Yaoxue Zhang, Yuanyuan Yang

Summary: In this paper, a dependent task offloading framework (COFE) is proposed, which allows mobile devices to offload compute-intensive tasks with dependent constraints to the MEC-Cloud system to improve user experience. The task offloading problem is formulated as an average makespan minimization problem, and a heuristic ranking-based algorithm is proposed to assign the offloaded tasks. Theoretical analysis proves the stability of the system under the proposed algorithm, and extensive simulations validate its effectiveness in reducing average makespan and deadline violation probabilities.
