Abstract
In order to improve mobile users’ service experience, mobile cloud computing (MCC) is promoted. Although MCC can alleviate the burdens of Smart mobile devices (SMDs) by offloading computation-intensive applications to the cloud, it also aggravates computing and storage overheads in cloud centers and bandwidth overhead on wireless links for offloading workloads of mobile users. Therefore, we should carefully design the offloading policy to decrease these overheads while easing the burdens of SMDs. To this end, we investigate the offloading policy in heterogeneous wireless networks. In this paper, a queue model is built to formulate the mobile users’ workload offloading problem and Lyapunov optimization framework is proposed to make trade-off between system offloading utility and queue backlog. For deterministic WiFi connections, a Lagrangian optimization method is proposed to decide the optimal offloading workloads. Furthermore, considering random WiFi connection durations, a multi-stage stochastic programming method is proposed. The experimental results show effectiveness of the Lagrangian optimization offloading method for deterministic WiFi connection and the multi-stage stochastic programming method for random WiFi connection.
