Abstract
: Mobile edge computing (MEC) is an emerging technology that extends cloud computing to the edge of the network. It offloads computing intensive tasks to the edge server to solve the problem of insufficient computing power and resource of the terminal device, meets the low energy consumption and low latency requirements of the mobile user for application task computing, and greatly releases the pressure of the cloud center. Cloud-edge integration architecture has become a trend. How to perform optimal offload scheduling for terminal tasks has always been one of the key issue in the field of MEC research. This paper reviews the research directions and achievements of task offloading technology in today’s cloud-edge environment. First, the development status of MEC environment and task offloading technology are introduced, and the concepts and applications of classic schemes such as heuristic algorithm, metaheuristic algorithm, and reinforcement learning are elaborated. Based on the mainstream solutions in the research literature, two types of task offloading solutions are summarized: traditional task offloading solutions based on algorithm optimization and
期刊介绍:
Journal of Computer Science and Technology (JCST), the first English language journal in the computer field published in China, is an international forum for scientists and engineers involved in all aspects of computer science and technology to publish high quality and refereed papers. Papers reporting original research and innovative applications from all parts of the world are welcome. Papers for publication in the journal are selected through rigorous peer review, to ensure originality, timeliness, relevance, and readability. While the journal emphasizes the publication of previously unpublished materials, selected conference papers with exceptional merit that require wider exposure are, at the discretion of the editors, also published, provided they meet the journal''s peer review standards. The journal also seeks clearly written survey and review articles from experts in the field, to promote insightful understanding of the state-of-the-art and technology trends.
Topics covered by Journal of Computer Science and Technology include but are not limited to:
