Description
Résumé:Abstract Mobile edge computing can provide short-range cloud computing capability for the mobile users, which is considered to be a promising technology in 5G communication. The mobile users offload some computing tasks to the edge server through the wireless backhaul link, which can reduce the energy consumption and the time latency. Meanwhile, due to the open characteristics of the wireless channel, the offloading tasks through the backhaul link may face the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, the secure transmission based on physical layer security for the offloading tasks to the edge server is considered. The optimization problem of minimizing the energy consumption for the vehicular stations (VSs) in mobile edge computing-assisted high-speed railway communication system is studied in this paper. The energy consumption of the mobile users is generated by executing the local computing task and by transmitting the partial offloading task to the edge server. In this paper, a novel joint iterative optimization algorithm is proposed. By jointly optimizing the task scheduling, the task offloading and the transmission power, the energy consumption of all VSs is minimized under the constraint of the time latency. Numerical simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
