Abstract

Nowadays, due to the advances in mobile and wireless communication, mobile devices are widely used in our daily life. Meanwhile, in the mobile devices, there exits diverse applications which are developed to satisfy the various requirements of mobile users. Correspondingly, a large number of services are produced by the mobile devices. Since the mobile devices have limitations on the battery capacity, physical size, etc., they can hardly complete all the services. To relieve this problem, driven by edge computing, the central units (CUs) in fifth-generation wireless systems (5G) could be enhanced into edge nodes (ENs) for processing. However, during the transmission of edge services, the privacy leakage may occur, and the overall performance of the networks needs to be taken into consideration. In this paper, an optimization problem is defined to improve the resource utilization and load balance for all the ENs while protecting the privacy information and satisfying the time requirement. Then, a balanced service offloading method, abbreviated BSOM, is proposed. Finally, abundant experiments and evaluations are conducted to validate our proposed method is both effective and feasible.
