Abstract:
This paper investigates a wireless powered mobile edge computing (MEC) network where a hybrid access point (H-AP) serves energy-constrained devices. For such a wireless powered MEC network, the H-AP first transmits wireless information and energy simultaneously in the downlink. Then, by utilizing the harvested energy, the device processes both its local data and the received data from the H-AP. In this system, we minimize the latency by jointly optimizing the power splitting ratio of rectifiers, the data offloading power, the local computing frequency, and the data offloading ratio at the device. By applying a polyblock outer approximation procedure, we propose an algorithm which guarantees the optimal solution. Simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared to conventional schemes.
