Load Balancing for Energy-Harvesting Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

With the development of cloud computing, the Mobile Edge Computing has emerged and attracted widespread attentions. In this paper, we focus on the load balancing in MEC with energy harvesting. We first introduce the load balancing in MEC as a problem of minimizing both the energy consumption and queue redundancy. Thereafter, we adapt such a optimization problem to the Lyapunov algorithm and solve this optimization problem. Finally, extensive simulation results validate that the obtained strategy improves the capabilities of MEC systems.
