Abstract
To execute computation-intensive applications and stringent latency-critical tasks at resource constraints smart mobile devices, mobile edge computing (MEC) in small-cell networks is one of the leading thought, where mobile devices will offload their computation-intensive tasks to the adjacent small-cell network for faster processing. Currently, some research work has been done for combining mobile edge computing and small-cell networks together. Existing researches mostly concentrate on the user to small base station (SBS) offloading and improving the radio access performance using optimization, while the computing capability of SBS-MEC server is ignored. In order to acquire superior performance, an efficient orchestration-based task offloading for mobile edge computing in small-cell networks is proposed in this paper where edge orchestrator collects all the information from the neighboring small-cell SBS-MEC server to decide for forwarding the workloads from overloaded SBS-MEC to nearby SBS-MEC with a light workload. Simulation results affirm that orchestration-based task offloading scheme offers the best results not only by reducing the task failure but also with a smaller task completion time compared to other approaches in small-cell networks.
