Additionally, the use of MEC systems poses an additional problem arising from limited battery resources of MDs. This paper tackles the pressing challenge of latency-aware distributed task offloading optimization, where user association (UA), resource allocation (RA), full-task offloading, and battery of mobile devices (MDs) are jointly considered. In existing studies, joint optimization of overall task offloading and UA is seldom considered due to the complexity of combinatorial optimization problems, and in cases where it is considered, linear objective functions such as power consumption are adopted. Revolutionizing the realm of MEC, our objective includes all major components contributing to users’ quality of experience, including latency and energy consumption. To achieve this, we first formulate an NP-hard combinatorial problem, where the objective function comprises three elements: communication latency, computation latency, and battery usage. We derive a closed-form RA solution of the problem; next, we provide a distributed pricing-based UA solution. We simulate the proposed algorithm for various resource-intensive tasks. Our numerical results show that the proposed method Pareto-dominates baseline methods. More specifically, the results demonstrate that the proposed method can outperform baseline methods by \u0000<italic>1.62 times shorter latency</i>\u0000 with \u0000<italic>41.2% less energy consumption</i>\u0000.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"23 12","pages":"15149-15166"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, non-invasive HAR utilizing WiFi signals has gained considerable attention due to advancements in ubiquitous WiFi technologies. However, recent studies have revealed significant privacy risks associated with WiFi signals, raising concerns about bio-information leakage. To address these concerns, the decentralized paradigm, particularly federated learning (FL), has emerged as a promising approach for training HAR models while preserving data privacy. Nevertheless, FL models may struggle in end-user environments due to substantial domain discrepancies between the source training data and the target end-user environment. This discrepancy arises from the sensitivity of WiFi signals to environmental changes, resulting in notable domain shifts. As a consequence, FL-based HAR approaches often face challenges when deployed in real-world WiFi environments. Albeit there are pioneer attempts on federated domain adaptation, they typically require non-trivial communication and computation cost, which is prohibitively expensive especially considering edge-based hardware equipment of end-user environment. In this paper, we propose a model to democratize the WiFi-based HAR system by enhancing recognition accuracy in unannotated end-user environments while prioritizing data privacy. Our model leverages the hypothesis transfer and a lightweight hypothesis ensemble to mitigate negative transfer. We prove a tighter theoretical upper bound compared to existing multi-source federated domain adaptation models. Extensive experiments shows our model improves the average accuracy by approximately 10 absolute percentage points in both cross-person and cross-environment settings comparing several state-of-the-art baselines.","PeriodicalId":50389,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing","volume":"23 12","pages":"15132-15148"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
