Energy-Efficient Offloading for Mobile Edge Computing in 5G Heterogeneous Networks

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a promising paradigm to provide cloud-computing capabilities in close proximity to mobile devices in fifth-generation (5G) networks. In this paper, we study energy-efficient computation offloading (EECO) mechanisms for MEC in 5G heterogeneous networks. We formulate an...
