Abstract
Exploiting the idle computation resources of mobile devices in mobile edge computing (MEC) system can achieve both channel diversity and computing diversity as mobile devices can offload their computation tasks to nearby mobile devices in addition to MEC server embedded access point (AP). In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA)-aided cooperative computing scheme in a basic three-node MEC system consisting of a user, a helper, and an AP. In particular, we assume that the user can simultaneously offload data to the helper and the AP using NOMA, while the helper can locally compute data and offload data to the AP at the same time. We study two optimization problems, energy consumption minimization and offloading data maximization, by joint communication and computation resource allocation of the user and helper. We find the optimal solutions for the two non-convex problems by some proper mathematical methods. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. Some useful insights are provided for practical designs.
