Abstract

With the increasing amount of data and the need for real-time processing, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is growing rapidly, driving the shift from traditional cloud computing to distributed edge architectures. When offloading these applications with large amounts of data on mobile devices, a lot of computing and storage resources and high energy consumption are required. Yet, mobile devices' computing power, resource storage, and battery power are often limited and cannot meet these needs. To solve a computation offloading problem for joint optimization of time, cost, and energy, this work proposes an improved hybrid algorithm called Chaos and Lévy flights-based Whale Optimization Algorithm (CLWOA) to solve the multi-user offloading problem in an MEC-Cloud system. Each task is offloaded to local processors of mobile devices, edge servers, and cloud servers in proportion to jointly minimize the completion time, energy consumption, and total cost. Finally, compared with the whale optimization algorithm, lévy flight whale optimization algorithm, refined whale optimization algorithm, and chaos-based whale optimization algorithm, CLWOA reduces the weighted cost by 1.89%, 0.31%, 0.19%, and 0.42%, respectively.
