Energy Trade-off for Computation Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing

Mobile devices (MDs) have a number of restrictions in terms of battery life, processing power, and storage space due to the growing demand for larger computational capabilities in application. Offloading computationally demanding work to MEC servers has been an answer to this problem. By considering several variables such as distance, transmission rate, CPU frequency, and transmission power, we did some simulations to assess the effectiveness of various offloading scenarios. The energy trade-off involved in this process was examined in this research with a focus on the possible energy savings provided by offloading. To optimize energy consumption in MEC systems, this study examined the advantages and drawbacks of offloading. © 2023 IEEE.
