Multi-objective resource allocation in mobile edge computing using PAES for Internet of Things.

In recent years, mobile edge computing (MEC), as a powerful computing paradigm, provides sufficient computing resources for Internet of Things (IoT). Generally, the deployment of MEC servers closer to mobile users has effectively reduced access delays and the cost of using cloud services. However, the multi-objective resource allocation for IoT applications to meet service requirements (i.e., the shortest completion time of IoT applications, the load balance and lower energy consumption of MEC servers, etc.) still faces severe challenges. To address this challenge, a multi-objective resource allocation method, named MRAM, is proposed in this paper for IoT. Technically, the pareto archived evolution strategy is leveraged to optimize the time cost of IoT applications, load balance and energy consumption of MEC servers. Furthermore, the multiple criteria decision making and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution are utilized to obtain the optimal multi-objective resource allocation strategy. Ultimately, the comprehensive analysis of MRAM is introduced in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
