Joint Optimization of Computational Cost and Devices Energy for Task Offloading in Multi-tier Edge-clouds

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has formed a major improvement in the existing mobile cloud computing paradigm, due to its ability in addressing the rising number of latency-sensitive services. However, bearing in mind the limited capacity that edge servers possess which offsets their benefits in the periods of high load, a hierarchical arrangement of the edge cloudlets has been studied and has ...
