| Popis: | Due to the long latency of accessing services from cloud datacenters, mobile edge computing (MEC) has been proposed to provide the capability of cloud computing in close proximity to mobile users. Mobile devices can offload computation-intensive applications to MEC servers to achieve better performance and reduce power consumption. Owing to user mobility, workloads of MEC servers would vary severely to cause imbalanced loads and incur hotspot servers. Previous studies of power saving and hotspot management apply mechanisms for cloud datacenters to MEC servers, but these studies may not be suitable for MEC servers due to the limited computation and communication capacity. We are motivated to propose a scheme, complementary offloading for hotspot mitigation (COHM), for MEC. COHM consists of mechanisms for MEC servers with different states, namely busy, idle, and available. These mechanisms jointly consider the computation tasks for MEC servers with different states to mitigate hotspots. The simulation results show that COHM can decrease the number of hotspot servers without degrading the quality of service for applications. |
