In this paper, we describe an approach...

In heterogeneous cellular network, task scheduling for computation offloading is one of the biggest challenges. Most works focus on alleviating heavy burden of macro base stations by moving the computation tasks on macro-cell user equipment (MUE) to remote cloud or small-cell base stations. But the selfishness of network users is seldom considered. Motivated by the cloud edge computing, this pa...
