Abstract:

In order to fit the differentiated energy demands in vertical markets and ensure that internet of things (IoT) devices can hold an efficient and sustainable operation mode, a radio frequency energy harvesting-combined collaborative energy-saving computation offloading mechanism was studied.Specifically, a system energy consumption minimization problem was formulated under the joint optimization consideration of computation offloading decision, uplink bandwidth resource allocation, downlink bandwidth resource allocation and base station power splitting.Meanwhile, by combining the concept of penalty function, a new evaluation index was introduced, and then an adaptive particle swarm optimization-based collaborative energy saving computation offloading (APSO-CESCO) algorithm was proposed to solve the problem.The proposed algorithm constructed dynamic inertia weight and linearly adjusted penalty factor, which could alternate the spatial distribution density of the particle community in real-time during the iterative search process, and the optimal computation offloading policy with tolerable punishment could be well-generated.Furthermore, to prevent particles from exceeding exploration range, the velocity boundary was introduced which could also reduce the generation probability of invalid solutions and improve the actual exploration effectiveness.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher convergence efficiency and solution accuracy, and compared with other common benchmark schemes, the system energy consumption can be reduced by 34.09%, 14.72%, and 6.86%, respectively.

Key words: computation offloading, energy harvesting, resource allocation, power splitting
